every permanent household. There is
an ancient hickory chair at Arbor Lodge
which, in the closing of the eighteenth
century, rocked the Sterlings at Lyme
Connecticut, and later on at Adams, JEFF
ferson county, New York listened to the
lullaby which sweetly soothed to slum-
ber the infant that became the great
grandmother of our grandchildren.
This old chair has journeyed until now,
without ever losing a legend or dropping
single tradition, it silently occupies
it's corner at Arbor Lodge which, for
fortysix years, has been the Home of
that branch of the family to which it
belongs. It is a straight, stiff backed
chair. 1t is unyielding in it's attitudes,
and never changes character, constitu-
tion or tenacity of fibre. 1t has served
seven generations, and is an illustration
of the Westward trend of men and
things in the United States. More

A DRASTIC BILL.

The man who does not pay his poll
tax in Mississippi on or before the
1st day of February next, under the
bill which has passed the Legislature
of that State, will have his name
published in his county paper as a
delinquent, as a man who refuses to
contribute 50 to the education of
his W children, but is willing for
his neighbOrs to do so, and let them
reap an education by the sweat of
the other fellows face. Moreover,
he will be disfranchised and will run
the risk of a 5000 fine and six months
in jail if he hereafter attempts to
vote at a primary election, for it is
asserted, the taxpayers are tired of
having their votes killed by such po-
litical driftwood, and the judges of
the State may be expected to charge
the grand juries, who are composed
of taxpayers, to indict such persons,
and the district attorneys, who in
the future must look to the tax-pay-
ers for election, will not fail to do
their part of the business up to the
hilt.-BaltimOre Sun.
