THERE was very proper indigna-
ton at the attempt of the stockholders
in the west to corner the mule market
and force the government to pay
high price for these useful animals.
Of course, however, nothing is said of
the manufacturers Of the north and
east who are fattening off of the gov
eminent and charging ezorbitant
prices for ships, armor, guns, ammuni-
ton and general supplies. One firm
of ship-builders in the north has
swindled the government out Of more
money during the past year than all

MY UNCLE AND MY AUNT.
An Ingenious French Writer Explains
Facetious Expression That Ia
Very Common.

An ingenious French writer has been
explaining TO curious world why the
pawn-broking establishments are called
my aunt" (ma tante), says the Lon
don News. Prince de Joinville, son of
Louis Philippe, was kept very short of
money in his youth. One day the father
noticed that the prince was not wearing
a splendid gold watch that had been
given to him by his mother where
IS your watch?" asked the bourgeois
king. "At my aunt's," was the reply.
Princess Adelaide was Intercepted on
the subject, but she knew nothing
about 1t. Then the young scapegrace
admitted that he had pawned 1t. "My
aunt" therefore, became proverbial for
the mont-de-piete. But then, 1t may be
asked how it comes about that the
.pawnbroker in England is facetiously
spoken of as uncle" because the French
say aunt" Here in England every
thing goes by contraries. The French
coachman drives on the right, the Eng
lish on the left; the French soldier has
red trousers, the English soldier red
coat; the Frenchman eats an oyster
out of the hollow half of the shell, the
Englishnian out of the flat half; the
French epicure drinks champagne after
dinner, the English epicure during din
ner, and so forth. 1t is all a case of pure
"cussedpess."

THE LAW LIBRARY ACT.


Insomuch as Col. j. q. Riley is re-
ceiving, through the medium of several
newspapers, the credit of effecting the
passage of law providing for the pay
ment of portion of fines collected in
criminal cases prosecuted in the several
courts of this county and city, we deem
it only fair that Col. Riley's position in
the matter be stated.
At meeting of the bar of this coun-
ty, called for the purpose of organizing
Bar Association. at which meeting
Col. Riley was not present, a committee
was appointed to draft bill making
suitable provision for the partial main.
tenance of law library for the use of
all lawyers, judges, justices of the
peace, and county and city officials. and
to request the interest OF opr Senator
and Representative in the passage of
such bill.
Such bill was prepared by the COM
mittee, formulated substantially in &C
cordance with similar laws making the
same provision in number of other
counties of this state. and Col. Riley
introduced the bill, which was openly
acted upon in the usual manner, met
with no opposition and was passed.
This law contains nothing more than
is granted to great many other coun.
ties, and If Bar Association shall te
organized in this county, the proceeds
derived from this law will be only
a very small portion of the expense of
maintaining a library of which not
only the association but ALI public OFF,
GERS of the county and city will haye
the use and benefit.
In justice to Col. Riley, we, as Chair.
man and Secretary of the preliminary
meeting of the Washington County
Bar, respectfully submit the above.

FROM CONVICT TO GUARD.
A Prisoner Who Long Made Himself
Useful In Now Employed by
His Jaffers.

Henry Eerner, who spentesover 20
years behind prison walls for murder
OF which he always declared his inno-
cence, is now wearing the uniform of a
guard ut the institution in Jefferson
vile, Ind, where he so long wore the
garb OF a convict, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal. Berper was paroled
by the board of managers of the re-
formatory the first week in February,
but he failed to obtain employment as
required by the new parole law until
:he other day, whea it was announced
that he would go to his mother ut Cum
minsville, O., a suburb of Cincinnati,
and there reside, having complied with
that important Requirements
During his long confinement Berner
became almost Indispensable to the in
stitution, and after his departure his
value became still more apparent. Su-
perntendent Hert and the board of
managers determined TO recall him and
place him in charge of the engine
rooms. This was done, and he has been
quietly at his duties since Monday,
when he returned from Cumminsvil.. g.
BeTner's alleged offense was the mur-
der OF his employer, barber named
Barlein, at Vincennes. After Berner's
conviction his betrothed married him in
Jail, aud she was loyal 30 him during his
confinement She moved 30 Jeffersnn-
vile so as to be near him. and met him
Mt the reformatory door when he
stepped out free man.

The House after three days debate
passed the war revenue bill, which
will add about 800, 0,OOO,O 900 a year to
the government revenues by internal
revenue taxation, including increases
in the taxes on beer and manufactured
tobacco and system of stamps similar
to that used during the civil war, and
provides for the issuing of $500, 600, 900
in bonds; also Treasury certificates of
indebtedness for temporary exigencies
1t remains to be ascertained whether
Senators Jones, of Arkansas; Teller,
and the populists can succeed in their
threat of crippling the fighting power
of the government by striking out of
the bill in the Senate the authority to
issue bonds, or rather whether they
will dare to arouse the indignation of
the country by seriously making the
attempt. From utterances of members
of the Senate Finance Committee,
which is dominated by radical silver
men, it is thought to be almost certain
that the committee will strike the bond
clause out of the bill before reporting
it to the Senate, but it is equally GER
tain that a majority of the Senate, com
posed OF all the republicans and few
democrats, will vote to put it back.
