MARX TWAIN TO THE QUEEN

Well, another thing which 1 noticed
in the Document, was an item about
Deductions" 1 will come to that
presently, your Majesty. And another
thing was this: that Authors are not
mentioned in the Document at all. No,
we have "Quarries, Mines, Iron Works,
Salt Springs, Alum Mines, Water
Works, Canals, Docks, Drains, Levels,
Fishings, Fairs, Tolls, Bridges, Fer
ries,'' and so-forth and so-forth and
so-on-well, as much as a yard or a
yard and a half of them, / should
think-anyway a very large quantity
or number. I read along-down, and
down, and down the list, further, and
further, and further, and as 1 APP
preached the bottom my hopes began
to rise higher and higher, because l
saw that everything in England, that
far, was taxed by name and in detail,
except perhaps the family, and maybe
Parliament, and yet still no mention
of Authors. Apparently they were go
ing to be overlooked. And sure enough,
they We're! My heart gave a great
bound. But was too soon. There was
foot note, in Mr.. Bright's hand,
which said: You are taxed under
Schedule D, section a." I turned to
that place, and found these three
things: Trades, Offices, Gas Works"
OF course, after a moments reflection,
hope came up again, and then certain
ty: Mr.. Bright was in error, and clear
off the track; for Authorship is not
Trade, it is an inspiration; Authorship
does not keep an Office, it's habitation is
all out under the sky, and everywhere
where the winds are blowing and the
sun is shining and the creatures of God
are free. Now then, since I have no
Trade and keep no Office, am not tax
able under Schedule D, section IA. Your
Majesty sees that; so 1 will go on to
that other thing that I spoke of, the
MISREPRESENTATION from my tax
which / may get allowed, under condi-
tons Mr.. Bright says all deductions
to be claimed by me must be restricted
to the provisions made in Paragraph
No. s entitled Wear and Tear of Ma
chinery, or Plant This is curious,
and shows how far he has gotten away
on his wrong course after once he has
got started wrong: for Offices and
Trades do not have Plant, they do not
have Machinery, such a thing was
never heard of; and moreover they do
not wear and tear. You see that, your
Majesty, and that it is true. Here is
the Paragraph No. s:

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.

Editor Advertiser: The following
from the pen of Bret Harte, written
more than thirty years ago, suggests.
if it fails to demonstrate, that history
lands far removed from each other.
The Deadly Parallel is quite appar-
ent. Here are the verses to prove it:
ZENO.
A MORAL vINDICAToR.
If Mr.. Jones. Lycurgus B.,
Had one peculiar quality,
Twas his severe advocacy
OF conjugal fidelity.
His views of heaven were very free;
His views of life painfully
Ridiculous; but fervently
He dwelt on marriage sanctity.
He frequently went on a spree;
But in his widest reveIry,
On this special subject he
Betrayed no ambiguity.
And though at times Lycurgus B.,
Did lay his hands not lovingly
Upon his wife, the sanctity
OF wedlock was his guaranty.
But Mrs. Jones declined to see
Affairs in the same light as he,
And quietly got a decree
Divorcing her from that L. B.
And what did Jones, Lycurgus B.,
With his known idiosyncrasy?
He smiIed,-a bitter smile to, see,-s
And drew the weapon of Bowie.
He did what Sickles did to Key
What Cole on Hiscock wrought, did he;
In fact, on persons twenty-three
He proved the marriage sanctity.
The counselor who took the fee,
The witness and referee,
The judge who granted the decree,
Died in that wholesome ,butchery.
And then when Jones, Lycurgus B.,
Had wiped the weapon of Bowie,
Twelve jurymen did instantly
Acquit and set Lycurgus free.

There it is-the very words.
Amount

There it is-the very words.
/ could answer Mr.. Bright thus:
1t is my pride to say that my Brain
is my Plant; and I do not claim any
deduction for diminished value by rea-
son of Wear and Tear, for the reason
that it does not wear and tear. but
stays sound and whole all the time.
Yes. could say to him, my Brain is
my Plant, my Skull is my Workshop,
my Hand is my Machinery, and I am
the Person carrying on the Concern; it
is not leased to anybody, and so there
is no Lessee bound to maintain and
deliver over the same in good condi-
ton. There. I do not wish to any
way overrate this argument and an
swer, dashed off just so and not a
word of it altered from the way I first
wrote it, your Majesty, but indeed it
does seem to pulverize that young fell
low, you can see that yourself But
that is all I say; I stop there; I never
pursue a person after have got him
down.
Having thus shown your Majesty
that I am not taxable, but am the VIC
tim of the error of a clerk who mis-
takes the nature of my commerce, it
only remains for me to beg that you
will of your justice annul smy letter
that I spoke of, SO that my publisher
can keep back that tax-money which,
in the confusion and alteration caused
by the Document, ordered him to pay
You will not miss the sum, but this is
a hard year for authors; and as for
lectures, do not suppose your Males
ty ever saw such a dull season.
With always great, and ever increas-
ing respect, I beg to sign myself your
Majesty's servant to command,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-A head
sea and strong winds caused a delay
in the arrival of the Oceanic liner So
noma from Sydney yesterday. the run
from Honolulu occupying days and Is
hours. Although expected early in the
day, as usual, the steamer did not
reach port until after o'clock, and
the time intervening before the depar-
ture of the afternoon overland train,
upon which the English mails were
scheduled to depart, was SO brief that
special permission was given by Quar-
antine Official Cumming for the Spreck-
els tugboat Relief to meet the Sonoma

through mail, amounting to 257 bags,
which was then hurried to Oakland in
time to catch the o'clock train. A
total of 42S bags of mail was brought
by the liner, and she reached her slip
at Pacific-street wharf at 6 o'clock
A record cargo was brought by the
Sonoma. the freight amounting to 1910
tons, or more than has ever been
brought through from the Antipodes
by any of the three big steamers of
the Spreckels line The number Of pas
sengers was also unusually large. and
the statement was made by some OF
them that the trip had been remarka-
" enjoyable, entertainments and con-
certs being of frequent occurrence. The
