Century Old Piano.

Landlord Carey j. King of the
Hotel Stafford has quite a curiosity
in the way of an Old piano, says the
Portsmouth co. Times. Mr.. King
says that it is probably the Oldest
piano in this country. 1t is the
property of his wife and came into
the possession of her family away
back in the closing years of the
eighteenth century, when it was
purchased of the family of Govern
or John Sewer of Tennessee for the
great-grandmother of Mrs. King.
The piano was made for Governor
Sewer by ]. Stewart of Baltimore,
the governor presenting it te bis
wife. 1t is a quaint old instrument.
finely finished off in mahogany, and
doubtless could tell many a roman
tic tale of the olden times if per-
chance it were gifted with the pow
.er of speech. The piano is very low
and has seven legs. The keyboard
Is smaller than that of the pianos
of today, covering only Ave Octaves.

CUSTOMS DUTIES.

A ComparisO@ Between the Ad Valorem
and Specific Systems.
The ad valorem system proper
tions duties to the worth of the
goods at the place of shipment at so
much per cent of their market value.
It's chief merit is its justice and
equity. 1t adjusts itself automatic
ally to differences of valuation or of
commercial qualities, so that the tax
collected from the consumer varies
in proportion to his ability 10 pay
at least so far as this may be deter
mined by his ability to buy goods of
greater or less cost.
The chief demerit commonly as
cribed to it is the temptation which
it j. said to offer to fraudulent un-
dervaluation. Since the duty to be
paid depends upon the foreign value,
if this can be made to appear less
than it really is, some part of the
tax is evaded and the cost of the
goods to the importer diminished
The difficulty of evading a customs
revenue under a good and intelli-
gent administration through under
valuation is illustrated by the cir
cumstance that, in order to secure a
saving of as much as 6 per cent on
the landed cost of goods, the dishon
est importer in the case of a 40 per
cent duty would have to swear an
differentiation of more than 20 per
cent.
On the other hand, the great ad-
vantage of simple specific duty is
the care and certainty with which
it may be applied. If, for instance,
the duty upon class of textile fab.
RIGS should be fixed at 40 cents a
pound, including all accessories in
volved in packing, the weight of the
contents of a case would show, by
simple multiplication, the exact
amount of duty to be paid. No ex
pensive process of examination need
be entered upon. Disputes can hard
ly arise, and false swearing is ou
of the question. Such duties have
been found most useful when i'm
posed upon simple articles not pro
duced in widely varying grades o.
greatly differing commercial values
The injustice and inexpediency o.
specific duties are that they bear 81
much less heavily upon the higl
priced than upon the low priceC
qualities of goods. that the poorer
classes of the community are taxet
at a much higher rate than tn,
richer. Neither do they adjus
themselves to ups and downs o
market values, and a rate of dut.

Mr.. Gage Saved the Fair.

of this town began to wonder what they

it, writes correspondent, Mr. Gage and

town from utter disgrace and chagrin.
The secret history OF that Worlds Fair
may be written some time lit never has

which if they had been known at the
time when they occurred even to the sup

SENATOR BUTLEK's CHARGE

The charge of Senator Marion Butler that
Senator Prtchard's re- election to the Sen
ate was bought FOR him. may seem, as some
one has said, the disappointed wall OF
beaten man, but it is pretty serious, never
theless. II recalls a recent declaration of
Hon. Mark Hanna. Hanna reiterated that
/ a sound-muney Senator must be returned
from North Carolina, if it cost a hundred
thousand dollars.
1t is undoubtedly true, as Mr.. Butler ad-
nhts, that the canvass OF his honored col
league was conducted by men of notable
brain power; but why were they interested?
Dds one hire them. as Mr.. Butler hints?
1t is charged that the national managers
needed Mr.. Pntcbard in their business,
namely, the manufacture OF a tariff hill;
and they had to have him, cost what he
might. Soif seventeen votes, as Mr. Butler
enumerates them, were brought into line ia
certain devious ways not unknown to Sen
atOrship elections, it is not strange that
a number OF North Carolna statesmen
should want to know the reason why.

Mr.. Gage as He Really La.

In the eye of a stranger, writes Chi
caeo correspondent, Mr.. Gage might ap-
pear stern, austere and unapproachable
person. He is none of these three Stern
he can be, and profoundly reserved but
the sternness is only skin deep to those
who meet him out of business hours
In his office he is strictly business
because, though he sits at his desk from
8 in the morning till nearly 6, he has
TO time for anything else. He has the
ability, so indispensable TO men of large
affairs, of getting directly at the mar
row of q visitors business, settling it
quickly and finally, and passing on to
something else. He wastes no time, yet
has time for everything, according to the
maxim, "If you want anything done in
a hurry take it to busy man."
Mr. Gage is a politician of the sort
that drives the professional politicians
crazy. He will, without fail, subordinate
party to country; be enjoys nothing so
much as voting and working to defeat
an unworthy canG5date of his own party
