sINGrLAR DISCREPANCY.

In some of the statements we read
concerning valuations of imports under
the new tariff there Is a rather peculiar
discrepancy observable. While the
calamity organs in this country assert
that fraudulent valuations OF textile
fabrics have enormously increased IN
der the "ad valorem system" of the
new tariff. German trade journals are
complaining that the Custom House
officials in New York arbitrarily alter
the prices Of imported yarns TO a higher.
figure than is in the invoice, and then
levy a higher duty
Whatever may be the ground for
these German complaints, there is GER
ta,nly none Of the assertions Of the
Mckinley organs concerning the opera
ton Of the ad valorem duties I'm woolens
in the new tarin The al valorem
duties on these imports under the Nc
Kinley act were greater than they are
now. and there was consequently a
larger tempta con 90 fraudulent under
valuations then than now.
So far as these imports are concerned
the German complaints indicate that
the opportunities for underyalua.ioas
are exceedingly rare.

GOD.

God is a mighty man.
He dwells in every heart;
Wait patiently ana hear His plan;
O, bid him not depart.
God is a being wise,
Who sees and knows us all;
Naught can DE hid from His great eyes
He lifts US when we fall.
God is spirit pure.
Infinite. holy. good;
Whose aid our sin-sick souls can cure,
BY giving us soul food.
God is our Father dear.
Who hears our prayers in love;
With Him we need not have fear,
But look for joys above.
God is our all in al,
For us He gave His Son.
That in temptation we may call
Upon this Risen one.
Christ Jesus makes us whole.
Redeems MS by His blood,
Thus may the stained. hungry soul
Wash in this crimson Hood.
God is our rest at last.
When dust returns 10 dust
And an our sorrows here are past,
Wen dwell among the just
At Gods right hand Wen sing.
With saints ana augelS praise
NV spirit now would fain take wing
This weary soul TO raise.
Ia soar above the cloud
That hides Him from my view;
But all. I know I'm not allowed,
Until I rise anew.
God pity my sad life,
And grant me strength and grace
To lift my soul above all strife
And sin 10 seek Thy face.
Then shall I happy be-
Content to watch and pray;
NV entire being shall be free
Before the Judgment Day.

KNEW WHAT COURTS WERE MADE
FOR

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A humorous scene was enacted in the
Superior Court room at Jackson, Ga,
recently, just after sentence had been
passed upon a negro charged with bur-
glarizing a store. Colonel Watkins de-
Tended the negro, and was about to
open his case with a well-prepared ora
ton of his innocence, when the negro
quietly informed the colonel that he
desired to plead guilty.
Mr. Watkins then stated to the court
words to the effect that the defendant
desired to confess his guilt
Judge Beck accordingly read the law
in the case and stuck the negro for ten
long years.
After sentence had been passed and
quiet reigned supreme, the negro roll
ed his eyes round and beckoned Col
Onel Watkins to come forward, and
when the lawyer reached his side the
negro gently whispered:
Say, Mr. Watkins, KANT yer peal
fer a new trial?"
The scene was quiet ludicrous, and
caused much laughter.

RFPTBLICAN PLATFORMS.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS.
The KEYNOTE to the Republican posi-
-son on the tariff is sounded in the StatG
platforms Of that party this year. all
Of which exhibit a strong tendency to
qeneralize on the subject and fight shy
Of anything resembling a definite pro-
nunc.amento. or specific attitude as
regards the present free trade Dem
cratic measure compared with the Nc
Kinley tariff.
To the conservatism Of Massachu-
sets the Republicans are accustomed
20 look for their programme in Presi-
Dental campaigns. While the latest
ReDubltcan platform Of Massachusetts,
is carefully prepared. it is anything but
reassuriug TO those who deprecate a dis
trrbance Of industrial peace by a new
tariff agitation. There is too much of
q smack Of the Boston Home Marke,
Club about this performance. The au-
thors talk vaguely in favor Of equal
and universal protection" and of their
want of attachment to ANY schedules
They are not bound, they say. by pre-
.cedeuce or by theories" but are ready
TO learn from the experience Of their adj
versaries. as we'll as their own. All
this phrase-mongering indicates that
the Republicans Of Massachusetts, are
extremely shy Of committing themselves
to McK,nleyism in the next Presidential
campaign. Unlike their less cautious
brethren in Ohio and New York. they
do not say one word in favor of restor-
ing the duties on wool. Possibly this
Is one Of the points on which they are
willing to learn from the success" Of
tariff legislation of their adversaries.
But the country has not yet forgotten
that a campaign filled with promises Of
revenue reform in 1883 resulted in the

1t is fallacy to suppose that people
who wear cork legs and glass eyes are
indifferent to their personal appearance
They are often vainer than ordinary in
dividuals.
A rich man, for instance. who is
obliged to wear an artificial eye will
wear three different eyes every day-an
eye for morning, when the pupil is not
very large: an eye for afternoon, when
the pupil is smaller; an eye for evening,
when the pupil has extended to its full
size.
A London eyemaker, who gave this
information, said he made about an
equal proportion of glass eyes for men
and women. Some people keep quite a
stock in their possession. In fact. no less
than IL eyes have been made by my in.
formant for one gentleman within three
months
His con had got one eye made from
measurement. and that eye fitted so per-
fectly that the old gentleman. in an out
burst of gratitude, wrote of for Il 9TH
er eyes. The eyemaker admitted that
this was an exceptional instance.

Mr.. Gladstone has played unconscious.
~ q capital little jol,e upon his critics,
literary and political, and is said to be
enjoying il as much Is anybody. Fifteen
years ago he wrote for q row defrnct
magazine an article entitled 1.-The Evau-
gelical Movement: Its Parentage, Prog
ress and Issue" THIS was recently un-
earthcd by tho editor Of the, present
Evangelical Magazine, who. with the
authors permission, rcpublished it in
the December number. The critics, with
one accord, treated the article as new
and praised or sneered according to their
political beliefs. which is quite COM
mon way Of writing literary criticisms
here. The Liberals, of course, found in
the article proof that Mr.. Gladstone's
intellect had improved, like good wine,
with age, and the Tories, with equal
certainty, detected signs of mental de-
cay. The Radicals, too, drew comfort
from 1t as showing that the Grand Old
Man in his retirement was more eager
than ever to sever the connection be-
tween church and state, while the Wing
churchmen discovered in thisfemarkable
article abundant arguments in favor Of
tho maintenance of the union between
the state and church.
As a matter of fact, the Grand Old
Man now writes little, although he is
bombarded with applications from edi-
tors in all parts of the world. He is like
ly to write still less for the outside
world if it be true, as rumored, that he
has commenced debating his memoirs
to his wife. The greater part Of every
day is still devoted to reading theolog-
ical works from his already famous Ii.
brary, and collectors will learn with in
terest that he makes copious marginal
notes upon every book which passes

Bones q the Old Kearsarye.
A story Of the manner in which the
hulk of the historic old Kearsaree, now
whitening ON Roncador reef, is being
despoiled by Caribbean sea wreckers,
and Of the awkard predicament Of two
Of them who were at work upon her, il
told by Mate Schwolow of the schooner
Frank NJ. Noyes. which arrived from
San Andreas with cocoanuts
On Oct. 90. he says, while outward
bound from Baltimore, the Noyes stood
close into the Kearsarge's wreck. To the
surprise Of all ON board white flag was
seen fluttering from the bones of the
gallant old corvet, and soon after .
email boat was seen pulling of from
her. Captain Asquini ordered the Noyes
hove to, and in a few minutes she was
boarded by two bearded wreckers who
said they belonged to one Of the Carmen
group of islands. They told Captain As
quini they had been landed on the reefs
about the Kearsarge on Aug. l by
small schooner, which was to call for
them in q couple of weeks. As soon as
they had settled themselves they began
work on the Kearsarge. In a short
while they had secured 600 pounds of
copper and about zoo pounds Of copper
bolts This was all of value they could
secure. SO they settled down to wait for
tt" :ooner that was to take them and
tit.. plunder away.
When they were landed on the reef,
thev had n fairly GOOD sunnIv IF provi
sions. August passed, and with its going
their food and matches went Septem-
Der came and went, and October had al
most gone when the Noyes was sighted
and in . measure ended their distress
For nearly two months the two men had
lived ON raw fish. They had no matches
with which to kindle a fire, although
the Kearsarge offered them her dry tim
bers for the blaze. Neither had they salt
with which to flavor their raw fish. One
of them had piece of sail cloth in his
mouth which. he said, he had been
chewing Is days in place of tobacco.
Captain Asquini supplied the men
with all that was necessary to sustain
them for some time to come. They
would not leave he reef. for they did
not want to abandon their copper treas
ure. They appreciated Captain Asquini's
kindness, and to show it they wished to
return to the wreck and take back to
him some mementos Of the famous
craft. A favoring wind made Captain
Asquini decline their offer, and soon the
Noyes filed her sails and sped of to-
ward San Andreas. Sun.
