Sea Lettuce.

Viva, or sea lettuce, as it is commonly
called, is a marine plant that springs
up on stones and other things on the
bottom, sometimes in the form of a
ribbon, perhaps two or three inches
in breadth and two or three feet or
more in length, sometimes spreading
out like great fan-shaped leaf. Sea
lettuce is used in ordinary, or circulat-
ing, aquarium tanks for its decorative
effects. 1t is of beautiful green in
color, and it floats on the water or
hangs in it in picturesque folds, and
it makes also an agreeable retreat for
fish. 1t is used in self-sustaining tanks,
which are those having no circulation,
but in which aeration is produced by
the introduction of plant life, for the
same purposes as in the circulating
tanks, and also as an aid to aeration.-

The President Gave the Onlcer a Word
of Advice.
One night during the civil war, while
the loyal part of the city of Washington
was greatly excited by rumors, there
was free fight near the old National
theater. An officer, seeing what was
going on, raised his voice and com
manded peace. The fighting stopped for
a moment; then one of the leaders. q

Ger and ordered him to begone, or he
would whip him. The officer advanced
upon the bully, and said: Il arrest
YOU At the word the man struck a
fearful blow at the officers face.
The officer parried the blow, and the
next instant struck the fellow under the
chin and knocked him senseless. His
neck seemed to be broken. and surgeon
who was hastily called, pronounced the
case a critical one, and ordered the man
taken to hospital. There the physi-
clans said that there was conclusion OF
the brain, and that the man would die.
The policeman was in great distress
of mind, and after seeing that every
thing possible had been done for the in
jured man, he betOok himself % the

one was the colonel OF the regiment
and the other was the officer who had
received orders from the commander of
the division. They were gesticulating
at each other. The youth, pointing at
them, interpreted the scene.
The men settled back. then. in re-
poseful attitudes with airs of having
accepted the matter. And they unused
upon it. with hundred varieties of ex-
preston. 1t was an engrossing thing
to think about. Many frightened their
belts carefully and hitched at their
trousers.
moment later, the officers began
TO hustle among the men, pushing
them into a more compact mass and
into better alignment. They chased
those that struggled and fumed at a
few men who seemed to show by their
attitudes that they had decided to re-
main at that spot.
Presently the regiment seemed to
draw itself up and heave a deep
breath. None of the mems faces were
mirrors of large thoughts. The SOL
diers were Bonded and stopped like
springers before a signal. Many pairs
of glinting eyes peered from the
grimy faces toward the curtains of
the deeper woods. They seemed to be
engaged in deep calculation of time
and distance.
They were surrounded by the noises
of the monstrous alteration between
the two armies. The world was fully
interested in other matters. Appar-
emily, the regiment had its small affair
to itself.
The youth, turning, shot a quick,
inquiring glance at his friend. 1t was
as if he had been stunned. The latter
returned to him the same manner of
look. They were the only ones who
possessed an inner knowledge. Mule
drivers-don't believe many will get
back" 1t was an ironical secret. Still,
they saw no hesitation in each others
aces and they nodded mute and I'M
protesting assent when a shaggy man
near them said in a meek voice: Wen

pears. and though it was by this time
two o'clock in the morning. he woke the
president and requested him to come
into his Office.
Mr.. Lincoln listened to the officers
story with great interest. Then he
asked few questions, and finally said:
II am sorry you had to kill the man;
but these are times of war. ard great
many men deserve killing. The man. &C
cording to your story, is one of them; so

1T isn't that" answered the officer.
THAT isn't why came TO you. knew
did my duty. and had no fears of your
disappruyaI. But felt so sorry over the
affair that wanted to talk to you about
it,
Mr.. Lincoln saw how deeply the man
was affected. and answered him accord
ingly. laying his hand on his shoulder
while he spoke.
We'll, go home now and get some
sleep" he said. But let me give you
piece of advice: hereafter when you
haze occasion to strike n man, don't hit
hing with your fist Strike Rim with a
club. or a crowbar. or something that
won't kill him
The officer went home, but not to
sleep, says Mr. Lamon. from whose
"RecOglections" we have extracted the
story. The tragedy had ProduSed too
great an effect upon him. But he never
forgot Nr. LinColu's Kindness, a kind
ness of which he must have had many

have called the president of the United

TILLMAN HAS NO REGRETS

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
has written a letter to the editor Of a
New York paper, under date Of Feb.
90 and from which we take the follow
ing extracts:
"My uniform rule has been to treat
criticism with silence. l break that
rule now for a purpose, and that is to
challenge those who have found SC
much to condemn in my recent speech
in the Senate TO a trial before a inrv
OF their readers in which 1 can have a
show of justice.
"If my language was unparliamnn-
tary, why did no Senator call me to
order? If the charges were untrue,
why has no Senator answered them?
Is it unparliamentarv and indecent
to tell the truth? Are we sunk to that
low estate that falsehood and treachery
and official dishonesty cannot be men
toned without calling down an AVA
lanche Of abuse and Islander? What
other Senators have whispered among
themselves, I have spoken aloud, and
in plain words. What a majority of
people have thought and felt as (
have uttered.
This is the sum Of my offending.
The thousands of letters that have
poured in on me from every quarter
of the Union, and mostly from the
North. and from men of every pursuit
in life has given me assurance that
the scales are falling from the eyes cf
the people, and that the truth hravelv
told has a sweet and wholesome
sound.
THE American people, as a whole,
the great common eOple, love the
truth and love their country. They
despise traitors, thieves and towards.
1t is a large mass to move, but the
leaveE is at work, and the issue is
Joined and the result will be known IN
election day. So far as I am individ-
ually concerned. and as far as my
speech is concerned, [ care nothing
for the abuse heaped on me, and
thank my critics for directing attan-
tioh to my u~tterances. When my facts
and arguments have been disprOved
I will apologize. Until then, decency
demands that men who abuse me- for
speaking the truth should let their
readers see it and judge for them
selves or reserve th-ir epithets for
men of their kind, who fear truth and
love cowardice."

An Honest Officer.

Chief Crowley, the head of the San
Francisco Police Department, has
resigned on account Of i'll health and
is DESTROYS of a rest.
He has been in active service for
nearly thirty years.
Amid the fostering corruption of
the most corrupt municipalities Of the
world he has won the respect of every
body by remaining honest. No cor
rupt money ever came into his hands,
and amid ten thousand temptati,n ms
he goes out Of office as poor as he
came, holding all these years a posit-
ion where a corrupt man could have
made a million dollars as easily as
turning over his hand.
He was genial and kindly even to
his treatment of the class of people
that came under his hand. He never
bullied or brow beat anybody. He
treated all prisoners with patience. as
if he pitied the men whom m isfortune
had compelled to seek bad paths, but
when he hunted the right man to
cover his hand closed on him like a
vice, and he was a terror to evil doors,
from one end Of the country to the
other.
1t is safe to say hat for character
and ability combined no man in San
Francisco can be fou nd who can fill
his place.

taxes. A. then reeonveys the property to
B.for the one year S tn x, andthe corporation
is defrauded of the accumulated taxes of
other years. Poor people cannot enjoy
this freak of law and its operation. The
present bill makes t compulsory that every
cent of overdue taxes shall he paid by the
purchaser before the title can be made,
which provision will absolutely kill the
occupation OF the spectators and their
silent beneficiaries.
There is another weH-known abuse for
which here is no remedy except the honesty
ana activity of officials. 1t is believed that
there is property valued at millions or
dollars that escapes taxation. AS matter
of fact this escapes taxation because 1t
escapes assessment. Itmakes no difference
as to the injustice TO honest taxpayers
whether other property escapes by the
neglect O r design of assessors. As 10 this
abuse, The only apparent remedy is that
those who know the facts should make
them known TO the assessor. There is no
more reason why one man should pay taxes
aud another should not, than there is that
one citizen should pay Il license to do busl-
ness while another shohid conduct the
same business without such license. Let us
have Il pronounced change in the law gov

Some Considerations On Filled Cheese.

In other words. it must he marked and
sold as filled cheese the world over. The
fraud" in the manufacture is that a
compound OF condensed skim milk aud
lard is deftly introduced into a superficies
OF cream cheese, just as perfumed cub
bage leaves make the filling in some OF the
popular brands OF Havana cigars.
In view Of the fact that there is very
extensive acquired taste for filled cheese
in this city and other cities (they do not
eat ii in the country. it would be just as
well that the bill be passed requiring the
whited sepulchre to be so tagged, but
that Is about as far as legislation should
go, unless it is proposed 10 keep Congress
in session until the fall. In that case, it
might be just as well for national legis-
lators TO get ready for the consideration
OF the bill TO prevent the Introduction
OF eXtrinsic animal elements into the filled
Sausages of interstate commerce.
1t is quite apparent that it is a slander
to repeat that Congress cannot act promptly
in great international crises such as that
suggested by the expectation of American
filled cheese. In the meanwhile, the
undeodorized Limhurger continues to
arrive without protest.

Tax Collection

Not the least imputation against the tax
laws Of the District is their incoherency
and fnsufficiency. They have been
fertile field for the practice of fraud, and
always in the interest OF people who have
money enough to indulge in whatever profit
there may be in "the laws delay
One OF the most practical and far reaching
of the reforms in this regard is to be found
In the bill relating TO taxes and tax sales
in the District, on which Mr.. Hulick, OF
Ohio, has just made clear and inter-
esting report. One of the specific ills to
be cured by the new law will be the specu-
lation of men with more money than
charity in the misfortGnes of people who
cannot pay accumulated taxes. The other
salient wrong to be righted is the practice
10y colusion, whereby debtors for accumu-
lated taxes are sold out and whose property
is returned to them by the purchasing party
arter the payment of a single years tax.
This latter practice was made possible,
strangely enough, 10y the decision of the
Supreme Court in 1866, in which 1t was
held that the payment OF arrears OF taxes
for ''any certain year" was a sufficient
consideration TO pass the property TO the
purchaser by deed from the Commissio ouers.
For instance b. owed several years taxes
anddeclined 10 pay. Itwas advertised to he
sold for taxes. A, a friend of the family,
