the purpose of planting and growing sugar cane
and manufacturing sugar, this afternoon filed
In the Supreme Court Of the District Of Colum-
bia petition for writ Of mandamus directed
against Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue Miller, to compel those two
officials to make preliminary inspection OF
their works. The petition says that the COM

censes to them July =. 1894, for their manufac-
tories, which are situated at Amant. Houma,
Monroe, st. James, and New Hope, and they
were required to give bonds for S251 900.

supervision Of a manufactory of sugar. and the
petition says that the present is the time for the
preliminary inspection of the company's works,

damage them to the extent Of $4,000. They
say there is su bstance to the pretext that the

the failure Of tine Government to inspect the
works practically amounts To the destruction
and confsCation of their property. A rule to

material, but the architect managed 10 persuade
the Commissioners that the material was all
right. Col Austen says the new armory. which

 Do not looked so shocked" he said to her; ''you called him an idler. Thomas uses more vigorous English, that is all the difference. Come, you will have wrinkles if you take things so seriously. We can only live a day at time, and we are wasting this one. It is just the day to gather nuts. Run, boys, get Thomas and the pony; find Patty and the baskets, girls" and whistling merrily he caught my tall, slender graceful mother from her chair, and the two went waltzing across the porch into the house. A little later we were on our way to the chestnut woods, as gayly as the stream that ran beside the path, but with no hint of its under tone of sadness.

The old-fashioned young Patty followed the fortunes of her young mistress to the quiet Dutch town, and only the idler, the shirk, was left of the gay, loving household. The time had come, foreseen by my father in that one moment of sadness, when the old house and the sunny meadows were no longer ours. .tes-r

 Our father and mother looked from one to another with half sad smile. Then they looked at each other. "To think" said my mother, that all they know they are learning from Thomas and Martha! We have taught them nothing"
 We know nothing to teach them," replied my father. 'I never learned anything"
 ''Nor l." she said thoughtfully.
 "But," said my father, rousing him. self, "here is one who has said noth- ing," and he turned to me. What will you do?"
 Nothing" I answered; q shall live just as you do, and fish and read and lie on the grass, and ride on the pony. Thomas will do the work for me. do not wish to work; I do not care to travel shall just stay here at home.''

 I could not grasp this; puzzled, I looked from one to the other, and then as my gaze wandered over Che broad stones before the door, where in the warm sunshine of the autumn day cricxets sat chirping, an inspiration came: ''I will do as the crickets do- sing in the sunshine and creep into warm corners when the winter comes"
 "A born idler," sighed my mother, "and the world shows no kindness to idlers unless they have money"
 ''It is his birthright," said my father, slowly; -''I cannot blame him."

A portly farmer an- !. swered my knock, for the day was rough and bitter and only necessity drove them out. A frown darkened his face as he saw me, and to my request for food he answered.; Be off. ;"
 ''I am sick and starving" I said.
 He laughed coarsely. "When tramp dies there's room for an honest man."
 ''Be off!'' he said again, and as in my extremity would have urged my need again, he stepped out and around the 'corner of the house, and in a moment with rush fierce dog sprang upon me-, I had stick in my hand, but was too weak to fight the great crea- ture, and he pulled me down. His strong teeth mangled my arm and tore off part of my ragged coat.
 I heard a woman's voice cry: "Oh, father, you shouldn't done thatl'
 "Now will you go?" said the farmer, and as I staggered toward the gate he said to the woman:
