Beds Like Cupboards.

THE peasents OF Brittany have some
strange Gu toms, AID one OF them is OF
quite ancient origin" said a traveller.
"Many years ago their coast was visit
ed by pirates, who invaded the hous IS
and carried of all the money and valu-
ab.es they could find. In order to pro-
tect themselves in the future, the peo-
pie had an odd kind OF q bedstead
made, which looks exactly like cup
board with shelves and door. On the
lower shelf slept the ma ter OF the
house and his vile, while the children
of the household were distributed on
the upper shelves. A small opening
like the portfolio en- a steamship was
made against each shelf, and covered
with wire sieve, which admitted the
air. At bed time the family crept
into their respect We places, taking
their treasures with them, and, lock-
ing the door, slept with a feeling OF
perfect security. Many of these curl

Bishop Thirlwall, an English prelate,
was silent by nature and by habit He
had the greatest possible aversion to
answering questions, and was scarcely
ever betrayed into giving definite
reply. One day tailor said to hin
when he had Teen summoned to take
the Bishops measurements:
What are your lordship's orders?'
Il want suit OF clothes"
Here Is very nice cloth, my lord"
All"
"And this is likewise a very good
one."
"Yes."
"Hers Is mother, OF excellent quail
ity."
Very"
Which material will your lordship
decide upon?"
Il want suit of clothes" And that
was all the answer the tailor could get.
When the new gardener accosted him
as he was walking, Took in hand, In
the garden, to ask, How will your
lordship have this border laid out?"
there was no an wer. How will your
lordship be pleased to have this border
laid olt?" was the next attempt. Still
there was no reply, but when the ques-
ton wal repeated for the third time,
the answer came:
"You are the gardener, l believe, and
am the Bishop"
But the Bishop could speak when
1t became necessary on more weighty
matters. A Clergyman had asked per-
mission to hold two livings which, he
argued, were the prescribed distance
apart. He unrolled a map, and meas
ured the distance. saying conclusively:
you see, my lord, they are within
three miles, as the crow flies.
Yer, he replied, "as the crow flies.
! see that plainly enough. Bat you
know you re not crow, and you cant
fly. BY the turnpike road it's good
four miles, and | cannot permit you to
hold two livings."

Attempting the impossible.

The attitude Of the Senate toward
the Tariff Bill is what was to be eN-
pccted. It is the inevitable :onse-

TO try to reform tile tariff ON
protective lines is bad enough. 10
try to reform it. not only on protect
i've lines, bnt also the loSrolling
methods that have marked protect
i've Legislation il the past, is to rush
to inevitable failure.
The necessity for tariff reform was
conceded for years before the Bic
Hin!cy abomination was framed l'he
packed Tariff Commission Of 1881,
composed OF protectionists exclusive
ly, reported that a deep cut into tar
if rates was needed. The next year
Republican Congress, working by
the log-rollinS method, responded
with bill which refused to carry

mission. There were reductions in

interests got an increase Of protec

1t is very well remembered that in
The canvass Of 1888, the necessity Of
tariff reform was conceded by Repnb-
licans. Their platform, indeed, as
interpreted by the extreme tariff men,
did not hold out much hope Of such
a contamination, but everybody
knows the liberaiity with which plat
forms are Interpreted by stump
speakers. In 1888 the cry was
that the tariff needed revision, but
that it must be revised by its friends.
Fraud lurIcd in the word s'revision.'
The people were led to believe that
there was to be revision in the di-
rection of lower duties. Ex-GoYern-

The reported resignation of The

suck a step on tne part OF the "Grand
Old Man'' had been resolved upon;
or account Of threatening eye-troUb-

age, he being now in his S5:h year.
1t is said that his resignation Of Office
has been accelerated by rapid! de-
yclopment OF cataract IL ore Of his
eyes, and BY increasing deafness.
Whatever the cause, the fact remains
that tie Honrable Gentlemen has
rendered his c5ignatiou as Prime
Minister 70 his sovereign, and that
the i.a,l Of l,oscbe.1y has been asked

As was stated in our columns a

TIE latest news from Chicago con-
firms the worst fears in regard to the
strike situation. Mobs burned nearly
all the railroad property in South Chi.
cago last night, and the Pullman works
are threatened. Where the work OF the
6repugs will end it is hard to cor seizure.
Doubtless much bloodshed will result
before the rioting is stopped. The indi-
cations are also that within the next As
hours all tho trades unions in the west
will be asked to join in the strike unless
Pullman and the railroads surrender.
