TOBACCO SALARIES.
A Custom OF the American Colonies
Before the Revolution.

A Custom Of the American Colonies
Before the Revolution.
Before the Revolution, ministers Of
the Anglican church in those American
colonies where that church was estab-
lished by law were remunerated in
kind" instead Of in money. Maryland
gave an incumbent forty pounds Of to-
bacco a year for every 1.-THE payer in
the parish, whether churchman or dis
senter, white or colored. These terms
were handsome enough to secure the
pick Of the clerical market. In Viz
ginia the stipends represented fixed
and unvarying quantity, by weight Of
the manufactured LEAF. These sipends
were rather beggarly In quantity. In
a bad year even the ''sweet scented
parishes where the minister's salary
was calculated on high priced and
exceptionally fragrant tobacco, yielded
only about $500 q year. The parishion-
ers sometimes refused to induct cler-
gyman unless he would consent to take
one salary for serving two parishes. In
1853, when the price Of tobacco had
greatly risen, the house Of burgesses
passed q law fixing the cash equivalent
of debts payable in tobacco at one
third their true value, thus wiplng out
two-thirds Of the incomes Of ministers.
Patrick Henry made his first fame in
defending this law when a test case
was brought in behalf Of the injured
clergymen.

We feel somewhat undecided whether

things OF minor importance-such as

have concluded that that is your busl,
ness, ours is to write.
We think the world would move on
far more smoothly and harmoniously,
if, each and every one of US. would at
tend more strictly to his own business,
and less to that OF others.
These being our sentiments. MIR.

A Dead Moose.

When q bull moose lies dead In the
forest he looks like some strange ante
diluyian animal, with his square pre-
hensile muf1e and horns spreading lat
orally, a popularity which ne shares
with the prehistoric Irish elk and the
nearly extinct European elk OF later
times. The huge form tells Of strength
and swiftness, and withal the still dan
gerous gleam Of the eye, glazed In Its
last stare, bids the hunter pause and
feel almost guilty Of a crime in the de-
struction Of so much that is grand and
weird, feeling very different from the
sentiment supposed to attend the
slaughter Of a deer. But the triumph
Of mastering the wariest and braVest
animal in the woods by fair still hunt
ing and by grimly sticking to the track
for many a weary mile amply atones
for any regrets.-Century.
