An Important Post.

When Sir Henry Campbell-B Ban
herman was secretary of state for
war Queen Victoria wished to make
the car an honorary colonel Of a
British regiment. The prime MIN
ister, as he now Is, demurred on
the grounds that all other European
sovereigns would expect to receive
similar honors. But as the queen
was willing that even this should
be the car was made colonel of the
Scots Greys. Naturally the appoint
ment caused some excitement in
the regiment. One subaltern was
overheard saying to his servant,
"Donald, the emperor Of Russia
has been made colonel of the regi-
nent-" Hndade," was his reply,
"its a vera gram thirg for him,
but will he be able to keep bath
places"

Fooled Old Jowett.

Once when Professor Jowett was
visiting his friend and pupil, Pro
fessor Sellar, he declared that he
never gave to beggars. Mrs. Sellar
was an adept in 'tmystifcations," an
accomplishment popular in Scotch
society since Sir Walter Scotps
time. She disguised herself as
poor highland woman and waylaid
her husband and Jowett at a cross
road, begging importunately and
telling her tale Of woe so piteously
that Jowett at last said: "Poor
thing! She seems very miserable;
Give her half a crown" Sellar said
he had no money with him, and be-
fore the aims were forthcoming the
secret was triumphantly unveiled.

account. and the books of the g"N
ernmvnt agents will doubtless show
from HON the tax WIS collected
and the amount paid respectively b.y
the farmers out If whom the taxes
came. The tax was an illegal tax
and the Government at the close of
forty years of uninterrupted peace
aud harmony ought to restore to the
people in this part of the country
the tribute that was exacted of them
for punitive rather than revenue
purposes
We would suggest that all persons
in this State who were compelled to
pay this tax, cr the surviving repre-
sentatives of their families, COM
municate with their Representatives
in Washington, collecting Ill possi-.
BILE data on the subject, 80 that our
Congressmen may be in position to
recover from the Government the
tax unjustly levied upon them at the
close of the var. The amount in.
volved is large, but, whether large
or small, the principle of the tax
was wrong, and the Government
should make good to its citizens the
money taken from them at q time
when they were overwhelmed by
disaster. We are far enough away
now, surely, from the spirit of the
times in which this tax was levied to
have the question dealt with fairly
on its merits. Every now and then
a story is told about the return of
conscience money to the National
Treasury, ard we would have our
representatives in Congress use their
best efforts to arouse the National
conscience TO the point of paying
back to the fesrfully burdened cot
ton growers of this State the blood
none, that was taken out of them
