 ssWill you please allow me to ex- plain, Mrs. Butler? assure you that all that trouble and confusion yesterday was caused not by me, but by the i'll temper of the hotel manager.
 And in little while all remembrance of our unpleasantness was forgotten, and I had implanted myself ill Mrs. Buffers good graces. She became very interested in the story of Miss Cullom' s will, but she had never heard of the lady. was invited to stay to dinner. And I did. And after dinner we had music and singing and spent very en- joyable evening notwithstanding our peculiar introduction.
 During the evening discovered from Mrs. Butler that the young lady was only her adopted daughter. and that her name was Juliet. This was blow to my dream vision. l was strangely drawn toward the young lady, nor did she seem to repel my attention. But it must not be, and when 1 took my leave, although promised to call soon again, l hadn't the faintest intention of doing so.
 My reception at the homes of the next 20 ladies called upon was invariably disagreeable. l was becoming down. hearted and morose. My friends whis- pered that my mind was unbalanced In truth, 1 felt that this confounded mystery would drive me mad.
 In despair 1 called again and again on the Buffers, and finally Juliet and l avowed to each other that not even Miss Cullom's millions could prevent our mutual love. We became engaged

 I felt my cheeks Tedden as replied, No, sir, not one of the 607.'
 You are sly dog, Patton. You re in love. Anybody can tell it. Come, out with it. Hang it, man, I'm your friend whatever happens.

 The old man took me warmly by the hand. The tears stood in his eyes, and lie said brokenly:

EQUAL TAXATION.

Senator Hill: l havesno patience with the demagogic clamor which is constantly demanding that the rich shall pay all the taxes. Those who thoughtlessly repeat this cry need to be reminded that this government is not a plutocracy, but re- public. Here manhood suffrage almost universally prevails, and property quail fications for political positions of honor and trust are nearly everywhere prohib- tied. The highest positions in the land are open to the aspirations of the poorest and most obscure youth anywhere to be found.
 It is fitting that it should be so But the poor man who owns no real estate or personal property pays nothing directly toward state, county or municipal taxa tion-nothing toward the free schools which his children attend, nothing toward the maintenance of the highways over which he travels, nothing toward the ex- penses of the courts where his rights are vindicated and his wrongs redressed, noth- ing for1ighted streets, police protection, public hospitals, iails or almshouses, and nothing for the church at which he wor- ships, because here we have no established religion; and if it were not for custom house taxation-taKation upon consump- tion-he would not pay farthng toward the support of the government which pro- tects him and under which he enjoys the blessings and privileges of a free and in dependent citizen.
 It is through this much abused system of tariff taxation abused by it's ene- mics and misused or carried to extremes sometimes by it's friends--that we are en- abled to equalize someWhat the burdens of government. It may be safely asserted as an equitable principle, involving no hardship to any one, that citizens without ownership of real estate or taxable per sonal property, constituting the most nu= merous class in every community, and who pay no state or local taxes, ought to contribute something toward the expenses of the general government under which they live; and to enforce the performance of such patriotic obligation the system of indirect taxation based on duties upon foreign imports affords the least offensive method.
 If the contention that the rich should pay all the taxes and the poor be exempt ed therefrom is well founded, then it may well be urged that the rich should monop- olize the suffrages and offices of the coun- try

Those who never read the advertise ments in their newspapers miss more than they presume. Jonathan kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co.,, Iowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulders, read an item in his paper about how @ prominent German citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He procured the same medicine, and to use his own words: ''It cured me right up." He also says: "A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism: Their boy was pyeE to my house and said they were. s9 bad he had to do the cooking. told him of Cham berlain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me, he got a bottle and it cured them up in week. 50 cent bottles for sale by w. w.

 It is not cheering news that cholera of the most malignant type had invaded Constantinople.

 Thirty-fye years ago this Spring, was run down by hard work and succession of colds, which made me so feeble that it was an effort for me to walk. I consulted the doctors, but kept sinking lower until had given up all hope of ever being better. Happening to be in 9 store, one day, where medicines were sold, the proprietor noticed my weak and sickiy appearance, and, after a few questions as to my health, Reeopar mended me to try Ayers Pills. I had little faith in these or any other medicine, but concluded, at last to take his advice and try a box. Before had used them all, was very much better, and two boxes cured me. I am now 80 years old; but believe that if it had not been for Ayers Pills, should have been in my grave long ago. buy boxes every year, which make 210 boxes up to this time, and would no more be with out them than without bread" "-- H.
