Stolen aoods for sale in Mexico.

Mexican Letter in Zion's Herald.
 The physical and moral condition of ttese peoplesis deplor lble beyond con ception., They are not lazy; never saw a. harder working people. They are not duh; some of them are ex- ceedingly smart. They are the most skillful thieves in the world. In ths thieves market where stolen goods ara exposed for sale. there are some curt- GUS trophies of their skill, among them a whole basketful of false teeth. An old resident related this incident ta met, A man with bundle of robosas cn his shoulder stood in the crowd at the thieves market when fellow stepped behind !lfm, took needle and thread and stitched one of the robosaG to his own coat. A moment later, in the surging of the crowd the thief lifted the bundle to his own shoulder. The fellow who had been robbed ex- claimed: "Who stole my robosas?H The thief quitly advised him: 'Yog should sew them to your coat, as d0." Many equally bright tricks are report ed of them. They are natural mechan- les. and with very little training pro- duce most beautiful work. In wood carving, carving in leather, beautiful work in silver and gold, moulding in clay and sculpture in stone, weaving fine fabrics and embroidering fine linen, they excel.

At last he brightened up. IIl tell you what to do,' he said Go up stairs and see our MT. Fergu- son. Hes been superintendent of the knitting rooms ever since we started, and can give you a line on any girl that ever worked here.' I rushed up- stairs and found Ferguson at a roll top desk. He was big and genial, but when 1 stated the object of my visit strange, startled look flashed across his fat face.
 'Barbaia Hollis! he repeated in an awed tone. I haven't heard that name in ten years,' Is she dead. then l asked. greatly shocked. Well, yes-er that is to say, she isn't exactly alive he replied. Not exactly alive! I exclaimed in amazement. No said he; put why do you ask? What do you know about her? 1 thought 1t best to be frank, and made a clean breast of it. but before I got through Ferguson was writhing in spasms of elephantine nirth. 'Ha! Ha! Hal he roared. If that don't beat all' Then he caught his breath and explained: Barbara Hollis isn't a girl he said, tI.z T t,.,.t There were nine in 1t at the start. That was away back in 'S5 or S6, and they were the best lockers in the shop. They thought up this scheme of send Ing out notes in socks, and the smart est one in the crowd did the writing. They were all signed the same-"Bar- bara Hollis"-and when the answers began to come in they divided them up, according to taste. We'll, sir, you would hardly believe it. Ferguson went on. 'bui blame If the whole nine of those giris didn't get married on tresponaence! They made the one that did the writing hold off until the last and then the story leaked out. It set the rest of the girls in the shop so crazy that the boss had to issue strict order against anybody else try
 ing the Sanit scheme. If he hadn' t every sock we sent out would have had a ten page letter in the toe. But it beats the world he added, how you got hold of one of those old notes!

The Tariff on woolens.
svfIle Courier-Journal.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The present high duty on raw wool Is producing the effect which has aften been pointed out by free traders. The high duties on imported woolens ex- cludes them as clements of competi- ion except by the payment of greatly advanced prices. But there is no way to force people to buy woolen goods if they are unwilling to pay the price. Higher prices, other things being equal, mean reduced consumption. In the case of woolens, the manufacturers ara compelled to meet the demand for goods at a moderate price, and they can only, do so by deterioration of the products. Hence the increased rise of cotton and shoddy in the manta- facture of so-called woolens.

County Pride.

Patriotism is simply love of home and IS manifested as frequently In State and county pride as in national pride.
 Pike County. Mo. in which I reside. is one of the richest, most beautiful and most famous counties west of the Mississippi. The Pikers are d very. prolific folk and have obeyed with alacrity the Scriptural injunction, Be fruitful and multiply" So many of them migrated to California in 49 that all Mlssourians out there were called "Pikers' ,WASHSssyeer thu they ,rI1e wander er county with them. So many of them have located in St. Louis that they have organized Pike County Col ony," which gives great banquet once a wear to renew old associations and to glorify the lovely land where they were born.
 At the last banquet Rev. William A Mclean, now of East St. Louis but once of Pike, told this story to illus trate the deep and enduring affection which the Piker bears his native coun- ty: "In '49" quoth Brother Mclean, "a young man and his wife went by OK wagon across the plains and located in California. They prospered and grew rich. The great desire of the good wifes heart was to once more look upon the goodly land of Pike. but she had heard so much of the dangers and hardships of ocean travel that she coul not be tempted to return East by the sea. So she kept postponing her visit till the transcontinental railroad should be built. By that time, how ever, the aged couple had lost their property, ana could not afford the ex- pense of a Journey home by rail. Fin ally the old lady became sick, and the attending physician informed her that her time was come to go hence without delay. The preacher visited her and administered to her what consolation he could. When he was about to de- part he said, My sister, is there any thing else I can do for your She re- piled, My brother. I don't know how much influence you have with the Lord. but I wish you would pray that I may ks permitted to visit two weeks

 King Victor Emmanuel I'll, has not settled any of the grave questions that confronted him upon his accession to the throne, but affairs ere do not ap- pear to a stranger to be in such a par lous state as some or the reports sent to American and English papers would lead one to believe. The New Zanar- delli Cabinet is radical enough to suit anyone-even the socialists appear to be satisfied and the new Premier has a larger share of popular confidence than commonly falls to the lot of an Italian Minister.

 Patriotism is oftener the theme m Washington than in any other place within the broad confines of this puis- sant republic and the stars and stripes more in evidence. That is but nat ural, for everywhere in the finest cap ital of the wold," are the monuments of our greatness. The first object that greets the eyes of the Washingtonian upon arising from his virtuous couch Is the splendid shaft erected to the memory of the Father of his Country. The effigy of the immortal George IS seen on every hand and upon every thing-stamps, books, periodicals, street car tickets, even upon beer barrels, kegs and bottles. The denizen of that delightful city cant look about him without seeing Old Glory floating proudly to the breeze. He can't walk American who won renown by land CT sea-in. war or the paths of peace. The oldest inhabitant" has heard all the great orators, from Daniel Webster to Joseph Weldon Bailey, and witnessed more patriotic processions than any Roman who dweit upon any of the sev- en hills famed in story and in song. The two houses of Congress are schoois of patriotism to the Washingtonians, anu they SCdISCly up ohS ihoh- gurai show until they begin to lay plans for another. And truth to tell, Solomon in all his glory was not ar rayed as the marshal of an inaugural parade. Perhaps it is goou thing that he wasn't.
 The very fact that the Washingtonian cannot vote appears to increase his fondness for talking politics. He de lights to describe the stirring scenes. all of which he saw and part of which he was. Consequently it happens Athat politics is the resounding theme of every Washingtonian's tongue.

An Enthusiastic Patriot.

But patriotism-and of the most ultra type-is found elsewhere, as the for lowing .aneSdote, contributed to cloak room seances by MT. Braezeale of Lou isiana will show:
 There exists in Louisiana a law re- quiring q United States flag to float over the courthouse while the State court is in session. This statute was placed upon the statute books in recon- struction days. but it is now entirely obsoltte, few lawyers or judges even being aware of it's existence.
 Some few years ago venerable and eminent lawyer, an ex-justice of the Supreme Court of the State, was em- ployed as counsel in an important case to be tried in small town in the in- terior of the State. The day of trial came on, and the justice found himself unpI epared for trial because of the ab- sence of an important and material wit ness. He was extremely anxious for trial, but could not risk it without his witness, whose voluntary attendance he has depended upon, emitting to have him legally subpoenaed. Opposing counsel, learning Of his adversary 5 predicament, insisted on a trial, and for hours the battle ragged, every re- source of an able lawyer was exhaust ed, and finally the trial judge, being about to rule the case to immediate trial, the ex-justice bethought him of this ancient statute and invoked its protection, insisting that his sense of patriotism forbade him from trying g. ease in a courthouse which did not fly from its cupola the emblem of our country's greatness. A more patriotic md eloquent speech was never before heard within the walls of that little courthouse than that delivered by this eloquent jurist. whose reputation as an unreconstructed rebel was house. hold word throughout the State. As he closed his matchless peroration and turned to take his seat he saw coming into the courtroom his delayed wit hess. Immediately addressing the court, he said. May 1t please your honor.
