given ont by Secretary Carlisle In his
speech before the Finance Committee.
Read it carefully: During the course
of the hearing Mr.. Carlisle disclosed
to the committee the information that
under a decision of the Attorney Gen
eral the Government is now liable to
claims from NATIONAL banks for over
taXati ion, running back over IL neriou
of thirty wears. He recommended
that for the purposes OF taxation OF
one-half per cent. on the bank clrrula-
ton ii should be expressly provided
that banks should not be relieved
| from the paymen; OF this tax on such
of their own notes as NIGH! happen to
be in their own possession III the ordl-
nary course Of business, not presented
or held for redemption. BY a decision
of the Attorney General, he said. it
appeared that the present law was de-
fectivr in that respect, and the Gov
eminent was subject to claim for the
return of all taxes collected on the
currency OF the bank while in its own
poSSStSSlon.
Here is "A scheme to rob the people
of several millions. The law provides
| for il tax on all rational bank ISSUES.

Government. no matter what the
banks did with II. Now these plum

most infamous tricks that could be
! perpetrated. The worst feature Of the
case lies in Secretary Carlisle's asking
! the committee to frame !: bill that will
virtually admit that the banks should
| be permitted to make this raid on Il
bankrupt Treasury.

make the people rise up as one man

On the surface, LandOr's character ap-
pears an odd mixture of opposing, and
even mutually destructive, elements. A
man of strong aristocratic sympathies, he
had an unbounded hatred of tyranny and
oppression in any form; lover of peace
and quiet meditation, his entire career was
a series of contests; to a nature of such
rare gcntlencss that he never pluCked u
flower, nor took birds nest, nor, after
once finding a wounded bird, ever used
his gun for sport, was joined an impetuos-
ity and uncurbcd vehemcnCe that openly
advocated tyrannicide and could scarcely
be restrained from challenging Lord John
Russell for some fancied slight to a remote
and perhaps doubtful ancestor.
No man ever expressed greater conf
dence in himself or had prOfOunder be-
lief in the power and durability of his own
work, yet because publisher refused to
print Count Julian" he burned the man
uscript of another tragedy he had in hand,
and declared his intention to abandon
poetry forever. A profcssed follower of
Epicurus, his whole life was destructive of
happiness and peace. His temperament
was too strong for his philosophy. He was
removed from Rugby to save expulsion;
was rusticated at Oxford; had quarreled
with his father and turned his back on
the patcrnal home "forever" before he
had reached the age of 20. Yet he was
capable of great tenderness Of feeling and
of firm friendship Temple Bar.

WaItham Powder Works.

The description in an English journal
of the royal gunpowdcr factory at Waltham
would seem to show the establishment
more in the light of a world S fair than the
prosaic plant that such purpose involves.
There are it appears some 400 acres of
wooded land intersected by four miles of
running streams, and electric launches ply
between the different buildings, while car
goes Of explosives are conveyed by sail
barges in order to reduce liability to dan
ger to minimum. In what is known rs
the Changer building there is board set
up across the threshold, which not even
the inspector may step over without hay
ing a special pair Of large overboots put
on his feet, to keep his shoes from track
ing grit from outside upon the felt carpet.
In one part of the grounds is pond into
which the water from the nitroglycerin
factory is drained, and once u week this
extraordinary lake is exploded with dy-
Mantle cartridge, to prevent too great ac-
emulation Of waste nitroglycorin-som
times, in fact there is SO much in the wa
ter that holes 90 feet deep are made and
the water is all blown away.

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by the Rev. j.
Guudprman of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: Il
have no hesitation in recommending DR..
Kings New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvellous in the case of my
wife. While | was pastor at the Baptist
church at Rives Junction, she was
brought down with pneumonia, succeed
ing la Grippe. Terrible parOXysms of
coughing would last hours with little in
terruption. and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recommend
ed DR.. Kings New Discovery; it was

tory in results" Trial bottles free at

wonder if there was ever time, says
Tho Critic, when the money value Of ev-
erything was so much regarded as it is to-
day or a people that Thought SO much of
it as we Americans do. The English have
been called a nation of shopkeopers, but
you do not find the price of everything
coupled with every mention of it in the
English as you do in the American papers.
One never secs II simple announcement of
the fact that Mr.. Smith proposes building
u house somewhere. 1t is always a mil
lion dollar house, " or $3.50, 600 cottage. "
This is not merely in the building trade
journals, but the news columns of "soCie-
ty' news will be dressed up in this fash
ion:
MIR Jones, the Chicago multimillion-
airC, was married yesterday at high noon
to Miss johnson, the noted New York
heiross 1t is understood that Rev. DIR.
Brown, who otiiCiated, received u So, 900
fec Each Of the ushers wore $3.50 pin,
the gift of the bridegroom, whose farewell
bachelor dinner Is said to have cost him "a
small fortune. After the reception which
followed the ceremony the happy pair, hav-
ing embraced the happy parents took the
p. III. train for Washington and the
south, whore they will probably pay visit
at the 81, 900, 600 country seat recently
opened by the brides cousin in Kentucky.
Mr.. Jones $3.50, 900 steam yacht has been
put in commission for the summer, and IA
trip to Norway is among the probabilities
before the owner returns to the manage
ment of his enormous business. The
union of the Jones and johnson families
effected yesterday is, from monetary
point of view, ono of the most notable that
have occurred this season."
I have said it will not be long before
this will be the regular formula for notices
of the weddings OF the rich but it is prac-
tically the formula today. The readers of
a New York daily Of the highest standing
were informed, ON the occasion Of a recent
wedding, that 1.-THE brides trousscau is
said to have cost $40, 900" that IA consecu-
tive estimate" of the value Of the presents
she received was 100000 and that 1.-THE
wedding probably cost about 81, 900, 600. "
Apropos of this same wedding the pastor
of Presbyterian church in Washington
has been forced to ask the press to cease
circulating ridiculously exaggerated state
ments regarding his wealth-statements
that tend, as he truly declares, to bring
religion itself into disrepute. When Gen
eral Sherman died one of his eulogists re.
marked that at his hrcsdo spcCulations
were never heard as to the wealth of this,
that or the other millionaire. 1t was Il
compliment that could not be paid tC
many. But Sherman was u soldier, not
a saddlGr.

TELEPHoNlNe ALONG THE KoNeo.
Drums With Which the Natives Are Able
to Communicate Long Distances.

Drums WIN " men Jne NhJlVeS are ADlo
to Communicate Long Distances.
Captain Five, Belgian explorer, says
that the people of the Kongo have a curl
Gus and interesting method of telephoning.
For long time he refused to believe that
the natives really had the power to COM
municate with others at distance though
articles had been sent to j. m in answer to
such communications. At length, one
day, iourneying on the river by pirogue,
and being about so miles from Basoko, he
determined, instead of stopping to press
on to the village. Then one of his people
offered to telephone to the village that the
party would reach the place toward even
ing and would like to have supper prepar-
ed on arrival
A native with drum then began to
beat it after peculiar fashion and pres
entity announced that he had heard re-
ply. He then rolled the drum for some
time and TRANQUILITY returned TO his pad
die. Captain Five waited with much in
terest to see whether his approach would
be expected and was astonishod as he
neared Basoko toward evening to recog
ni2e on the bank one of his fellow explor-
ers Lieutenant Vercllcn. A fire was burn
lllS tlNllblN' iiih 0A'ppNl "'h' pNA''o '''''N'N
ready. Captain Five after greeting the
lieutenant, inquired eagerly how he had
learned of the approach of the expedition
The lieutenant replied that the news had
been brought some hours before by ne
gro, who said that a white man was APP
preaching by way of the river and would
need supper.
The drum used by the natives for this
purpose is small but noisy affair Of wood
1t is constantly employed in communicat-
ing short distances in order to save time
and trouble. In this instance there had
evidently been relays of drummers along
the whole 30 miles from the point where
the original signal was given to near Ba-
soko. The natives are able, with their
drums, to signal messages of considerable
length. This particular instance is re-
corded in La Flandre, a Belgian publica-
ton

Moore was close student of oriental
books of travel. He was thus enabled to
initiate so closely the style of eastern
thought and to adapt himself to the pecul-
iarities of eastern imagery that his orien-
tai tales read as though written by Per-
sian or Hindoo. Even during his own
lifetime lines of "Lalla Rookh" were
sung by the common people in the cities
of Persia and India.
