A lost TYPE.

o, for the glimpse of ana'ural boy.
boy with freckled lace,
With forehead white, meath the tangled
hair,
And his limbs devoid of grace.
Whose feet toe i'm, while his elbows flare,
Whose knees are patched always,
Who turns as red as q lobster when
You give him word of praise.
A boy who was born with an appetite,
Wiz, eeeks the pantry shelf
To ei .lis" piece with resounding smack
WlSnsn't gone on himself.
A Robinson Crusoe reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash
Who knows the use of rod and gun,
and where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit i'm the easiest chair,
With hat on his tolsled head
That his hands and feet are everywhere
For youth must have room to spread.
But he doesn't dub his father" old man.
Nor deny his mothers cali,
Nor ridicule what his elders gay,
Or think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome, natural boy,
or a good old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, il he's still OH earth,
For he'll make a man some day.

DEFYING JUDGE GOFF.
The state COnst taDulary Seize Liquor
In Columbia and Sumter.


Coulumbia Register, 9th inst.
Judge Con will have chance to
carry out his injunction and d--thre
bring the Dispcnsary case fairly
squarely before the Supreme Cour
the United States. Yesterday af'
noon as the Southern railway
arrived from. Augusta at the
depot there was small package
out OF the express car directed TO ID.
III. GoDle." On the end OF the box was
marked jeff Davis Best Rye Whis-
key" For some reason people in the
city had expected an Importation and
they wanted TO sec whether Gov
Evans WAS making u great big bluH,"
rs the saying goes, about his constnbles
still scizing liquor notwithstanding
Judge GOlf's injunction. AS soon as
the package in question was put out of
the car Constable Davis walked up
and put mark on it. This was for
the sake OF Identification at the Ex-
press Office. ana it was some time after
when the wagon arrived at the office.
Constable Davis WAS ON hand, as was
curious crowd us we'll as some per-
sons interested in the package. AS
soon as it was taken from the wagon
Constable Davis ordered it set to one
side. which having been done he got
natcncJ ana proceeded 10 prize
open tho box. He found i'm Il mass of
straw several bottles OF export beer,
and then nailed the box up again.
He then informed Manager Leach,
who suggested that he should be sure
it was beer, whercupon the Constable
opened n bottle and Al bystandcr pres
| ent pronounced it the finest. Con-
stable Davis then rcceipted for the
| shipment and had it sent to the State
| DispenSary.
This action shows that the State au-
| thOrties do not intend to regard Judge
Gof's order. 1t may he that some a,
tiOn will be taken against Constable
Davis and he may finally land III Jail
| for contempt Of Court, but there is
nobody in Columbia at present who
can arrest him, according to the
Wow of an eminent lawyer. The Dis
trict Attorney will have to act in order
to procure his arrest.
1t is understood that Mr.. Goble or
dcred the beer simply to test the case
and that he will ut once take pro
ceedings whereby Constable Davis will
be arrested and jailed. II such should
happen he will be taken out on habeas
corpus and the whole question will
thus come Immediately before the
United State Supreme Court for 6
decision.
The Register received the follow
ing telegram from Sumter, last night

A Hot Tubing Followed By Cold
Plunge Protects the System,
Against Chius.

Baths should be largely regulated
by personal experience, as to what is
beneficial and what is not. However.
it is well for everyone to know some
general truths, for instance, that a
cou bath is not cleansing, and that an
unmodified hot one predisposes the
bauher to- could; and again that a tepid
plunge is a hopeful bid for a. headache.
What then? What now! When it is
a recognized and necessary mark of a
lady to take a full bath every day,
though our very wise grandmothers did
nothing of the kind?
Wen, unless you have a. personal
phySlclai idosyncrdcy in their favor,
you better drop the tepid bath from
your list. 1t is much used but it is not
useful. Taket hot and cold baths COM
bined, and cold one alone frequently.
A hot bath, as hot as it can be bourne,
IS very luxurious, very cleansing, and
very freshing, but no one should stay
in it longer than five or eight minutes
Then quick cold sponge or spray re-
moves all danger of taking cold. If YOU
think this sounds severe, it only shows
you don't know. A could sponge after
a tepid bath is a. terrible shock, but
when You are just out of very hot
bath there is no shock about ft 1T is
delightfully."- refreshing
We have been learning the joy of
hot baths from the japanese but be-
for the japanese became 50 fashionable
Mrs Langtry did much to start ac-
| tresses on a course of hot baths, for
to them she attributed (and attrlbutes)
her success in preserving her looks.
! Such a bath as this, with plenty of
soap and a bath brush, taken every
other day, leaves one fresh to take a
! cold plunge on the day between with
a good conscience. That is the great
est safeguard against colds and pneu-
monia in the world. If the bather is
very delicate, the plunge can be ex-
| changed for a quick cold sponge, but
generally the plunge is the less shock
Of the two. Again, any approach to the
tepid condition makes the bath very
| chilling, very trying. The water should
be really cold; the bath literally a dip,
and nothing more, in the tub; neces-
sary ''scrubbing' can be gone through
on the feet. In this way the glowing
reaction comes so quickly that there
is no Chill whatever.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 24.-The de-
tails Of the amended financial plan
which Messrs. Springer and Cox and
others of the Banking committee are
discussing with Secretary Carlisle were
learned today. They had a, long con-
ference with the secretary and are of
the opinion that the modif1ca tons to
this plan meet his sanction. The most
radical of the new propositions for
which MI. Cox stands sponsor is that
for the coinage of silver. 1t contem-
plates the cancellation of the Sherman
notes when resolved at the treasury
and the issue of silver certificates in
denominations of 81. 81 and So, or of
silver dollars. if the receivers prefer.
To back th36e silver certificates it is
proposed to coin all the bullion in the
treasury which, including $54, O0O 900
selgniorage, amounts to $131, 900, 900 1t
is calculated that not more than $780,
100000 can be coined in a year. The
changes in the banking features of the
plan provide that while the banks shall
hold the same reserve now required,
one-half shall be in the legal tender
greenbacks or Sherman notes
representative Cox explains that
this arrangement would relieve the
treasury of the raids on the gold, made
possible by the large volume Of out
standing notes, since it would dispose
of $2O0,O0O,OO0 of notes by using them
to form the basis Of banking and $780,
100000 for reserves in banks. It is con-
coded that it might be necessary to en-
power the secretary to issue low rate
bonds to protect the treasury against
large Withdrawals of gold.

THE INCOME TAX.
1t Will Greatly Exceed the Esti-
mates So Far Made.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 24-An en-
couraging report of the prospects of an
increase of government revenue is given
by Representative NIcNI1llin, of Tennes-
see, as the result of a talk with Secra-
tary Carlisle. His statement is the
first authentic inforna ton of the ad-
ministra tfon's view of the outlook, and
Shows the receipts from the income
tax will greatly exceed the estimates
Wy the department. Mr.. NIGMillin is
chairman of the subcommittee of Ways
and Means TO which the bill to double
the tax on beer was referred and ne
called on the secretary to ask his
opinion of the necessity for such a bill.
When asked about the bill, he said:
''Our committee has not yet acted on
the measure. | spent a portion of the
day in conference with Secretary Car
Isle and Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Miller concerning the revenues
and the necessity for an increase of
revenue. L would not, of course, re-
late our conversation. The secretary, I
may say, however, is much encouraged
by the increase of revenues this month
He does not think the deficiency of
revenue viii continue a great while
Mr.. Miller has had an estimate made
by the collectors of internal revenue as
to the number of persons and corpora
which it seems there will be much
more collected than the department
estimated when the tax was under con-
sideration. The revenues are picking
UP. During this fiscal year we have
collected from internal revenue sources
$S,000,O00 more money than during the
corresponding period of last year, The
sugar law has yielded but little revenue
yet, because of the large stock Of free
sugar on hand when the tariff law
went into effect. But from that source
we will from now on receive heavy
| revenues.
In answer to your first Qeustion, I
| would say I presume it will not be our
| policy to impose any additional tax on
| any article unless we need additional
revenue. IL we should need more, it
will be the part of our policy and wis
dom to raise it by taxation rather than
|. by increasing our bonded indebtedness.
What should he taxed additionally in
! the event of need for further taxes,
will be a question for the committee
| to determine"
"On what do you base your state
ment that inquiries develop the prob
ability of an increase from the income
! tax over the estimates of the depart,
ment," he was asked.
ION this, there are siXty-three collec-
ton districts in the United States. Re
| turns OF estimates have come in from
only thrty-six of these, and the esti-
| mated number of persons and corpora
| tons assessable therein is 23,410 and
returns are not in yet from many OF
the heaviest districts, such as San
| Francisco. Brooklyn, Pittsburg, ST
Louis and Philadelphia. The internal
revenue department computing by the
census and other returns only esti-
mated that there wopd be $4,000 midi
vidual income tax payers in the coun-
try. 1t is true that this number will
embrace both corporations and individ-
uals. 1t looks as though the worst of
| the trouble from depleted revenues
was over"

San Francisco, Jan. 24-The storm has
subsidized in the mountains and the mail
and express through trains are now run
ming on all the roads except the Oregon
division
The Central Pacific road to Ogden is
open and all the regular trains are run
ming close to schedule time.
The Oregon division, however, is in bad
shape. The work train, which left Oak
land Tuesday night with 100 shovelers TO
clear the snow slide near Dunsmuir, was
started in ten miles below Kent. Then
the track was covered with mud fifteen
feet deep in places and it took all night
to clear it away. This morning the men
got through the Slide and it is expected
that the track will soon be entirely
cleared, Yesterdays south bound Oregon
express is stalled at Delta, where another
mud slide covered the track. The few
passengers ON the train are being cared
Tor by the railroad people. All the damage
along the roads in the southern part OF
the state has been repaired and all trains
are running on time. In many parts of
the state local train service will not be
resumed for ten days.
In Sonoma county the storm was the
NEST damaging in thirty years. Bridges
were swept away and roads so washed
cut as to be impossible for miles. Waters
are flowing over the streets of Guerne-
i'm boats. a number of houses have been
overturned by landslides and swept away
by floods. Losses of household belong
iDgs, provisions, lumber and farm i'm
plements are large and many head of
cattle have been drowned.
The lull does not mean a cessation of
work nor a relaxation of vigilance on the
part Of railroad men engaged in keeping
clear the great artery of traffic that con-
meets the coast with the east The
rotary ploWS have to be kept in constant
operation to remove the great masses
OF snow that are continually breaking
off the high banks that line the road
for miles and the drifts that are con-
stantly forming in the narrow cuts
through the hills.
The snow depth is as follows: Tr11ckee
8 feet 8 inches; Summit, so feet; Cascade,
10 fest; Cisco, is feet, Emigrant Gap, ID
feet; Blue Canyon, L feet; Gold Run, 4
feet 4 inches.
