AN AUSTRIAN'S PLEA.

An Austrian woolen manufacturer ap pea red before the Ways and Mans Committee the other day and pleaded eloquently in support of the proposition that it is the doty of the American Congress to rednce the tariff rates for the benefit of foreign manufacturers. He frankly admitted that the average wages paid in manufacturing industries in Europe are about oie-half aamnoh as in the United States, and that wages in Austria ar* lower than any other country in Europe. He also admitted that his own business would be benefitted nd the importations of woolou goods (ram Austria into the United vastly increased by the rednction of dntiea. The argument he made in favor of a lowering of tariff rates was exactly in line wiih that of the protec'ionist in the United S(:itee. Every pound of wool and every yard of cloth manufactured abroad would displooe the same amount produced and manufactured here as well as displace the labor that is required to produce it. We already feel the effects of idle mills and unemployed labor. Three fourths of th9 woolen mills of the country are now closed, tens of thousands of industrious and honest workingmen and women are idle, with little or no prospeot of employment before winter overtakes them, and the wages of a large proportion of those who are still working have been reduced outright, or by the shortening of time employed. Do we want more Austrian wool, more Austrian woolen goods manufactured by cheap Austrian labor? If we do let us buupt the Austrian's suggestions and grant the Austrian's plea.

THE most blatant howlers for an in come tax are those fellows who have no incomes. They are willing that the other fellows shall pay the taxes but are unwilling to share their proportion of the burdens. The fact is that an income tax is a fine upon thrift and economy, and is a heavy and unequal burden on production. The country tried an income tax immediately following the close of the war. It was a necessity then, but it proved to be a most unpopular measure and it was repealed. It would be even more unpopular now for the reason that there is no necessity except to cover the deficit in the revenue ,, which a free trade tariff is expected to create. It is a declaration on one hand that American industries are to be crippled, and on the other hand that such as survive are to be be subjected to fresh burdens. An Alabama Democrat has introduced a bill in Congress to revive this odious tax, but it is safe to say that he represents a district whose people have no incomes. It will hardly become law.

A IjAHGe employer of labor in New York State, who supported Mr. Cleveland last fall, is quoted by the NewYork Mail and Express ae saying that tin is "glad we are to have tariff reform and a rednction of wages the American workingman has been earning too much money, and it is about time he were taught a lesson by experience." This hruuil remark teems to liave been Bug gesLed by the unwillingness of some of his employee to have their waget- reduced. Scratch the back of a Democratic manufacturer who wants the tariff reduced and you scratch the back of a man who believes that wage earners are getting too much money for their labor.

Suoli men believe that labor could be more easily controled, that there would be fewer strikes, if they were, kept down and not permitted to enjoy the oomforts of life. A reduction in the tariff means a reduction in wages.

JACK LANDERS, a Democrat and the principal stockholder in the Encaustic Tile Works at Indianapolis, appeared before the Ways and Means Committee yesterday to protest against any reduction of the tariff on encaustic tiling. A Democratic munufaotnrer is .in favor of free trade in everything except in the article in which he is financially interested.

Tnu Indianapolis baa discovered a manufacturer of plate glass who wants the duty removed, but his letter has b*en loBt and therefore his name must remain in oblivion. And it is on such meat as this that the average free trader feeds.

THK Board of Health of Frankfort has passed an order placing that city in quarantine against Mnncie.

GRIM ROMANCES.

Stories of Unfortunate Prospectors .and Lost Mines.

Abandoned Claims That Contain tht. Hone* of the Tentureaome Men Wbo Hoped to Get Riches from Them.

For many months past, says a Cheyenne letter to the New York Tribune, reports have been received here regarding- a strange discovery In an abandoned mine several miles from Newcastle, on tho banks of a creek. More than twenty years ago the first lurid tales of what Is termed tho "Lost Cabin" mine commenced to attract attention of prospectors.

Its exact place was unknown, and as years passed the story of l,t sank Into oblivion until last December, when several miners, whilo grubstaking along Castle creek, camo upon a rusty tablet. On closo examination it was found to contain an inscription whiph read: "God Help Us—1870, Aug. 4th— We can never get out alive. This hill is rich. Below we have walled up our minerals. Oh, Lord, hope somebody find this 8 of us." Signed, "Fritz Duke, Germ."

It was clearly evider^ that the words had been cut into the sandstone with some sharp implement. The name signed was recognized as that of a former resident. At the time of the Newcastle mining excitement in the '60s a party of prospectors arc said to have discovered a rich mine.

On frequent occasions they came to town with valuable specimens, but never revealed the location of their property. Some months later the prolonged absence of the prospectors became gossip and a fruitless search was made.

The matter was then almost forgotten until about five years later, when a communication was received from the German minister at Washington requesting the governor of Wyoming to ascertain, if possible, the whereabouts of a party of Germans who had come west and written homo frequently for several weeks, when suddenly all correspondence ceased. An investigation was again made with no result.

The finding of the tablet last December gave renewed hope, and a vigorous search has resulted in the unearthing of an abandoned mine. In one of the deep recesses of a shaft the bones of four men were discovered, and the mystery of the "Lost Cabin" mine unfathomed. Another mine of the same character was discovered in the vicinity of Lead City.

It is said that the discovery looks like a mine that a crazy Hebrew located about that time. The man, who was a mysterious character, lived alone in what is now known as "Dead Man's Cabin," on Castle creek, In 1877. He packed his grub stake from Lead City on his back, and wended his lonely way to "Dead Man's Cabin," where no other human being was ever known to visit.

He went in the winter in the early part of 1S77, and was not seen duringthe long and stormy season that .followed. Nobody at Itockford thought anything about his absence, as he never put in an appearance unless he went on his way to Lead City. He made a confidant of a man there and told him he had a rich mine, but was afraid to let anyone know, lest he might be killed and his property stolen.

The man did not turn up in the spring, and a party proceeded to his cabin to ascertain what had become of him. ife was found in his cabin alone cpld, stiff and dead. He was buried in the prospect hole that he dug so silently and lonely, and the body covered up with the dirt his own hands had dug out.

These are but two instances of uiany similar experiences which have befallen unfortunate prospectors throughout the Rocky mountains. Scarcely a week passes where in some portion of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico or Wyoming a report is not received of the locating of an abandoned claim and the unearthing of bones. How these men met death can only be surmised, but in more than one instance it has been due to the greed of others.

CAPE HORN'S POST OFFICE.

There Is None Simpler—And It Has No Postmaster Attached. In spite of improved modern methods of communication, the southern extremity of South America still retains its flavor of aloofness and romance. Tho trip around the Horn, still necessarily made by sailing vessels because they cannot so easily tread the mazes of the straits of Magellan, is no easier than it was to tho early navigators, save that perhaps modern sailing ships are safer and more manageable than those of the sixteenth century Even yet, however, sailing ships may hover vainly off the Horn for the better part of a month, and that curious international mail box kept at the Horn still has its uses.

Landsmen who have heard of this singular survival are tempted to doubt its existence, but sailors persistently affirm that it is still there. Cape Horn is a great mass of rock rising abruptly from the sea and forming a small island. Upon one of the ledges of this rock stands a covered barrel, the international post office of a region more than five hundred miles from anything that resembles civilization. It is the custom of captainir passing round the Horn to send a boat ashore at this point if possible, take out whatever mail is going in the direction of the vessel and drop in whatever it Is desired shall go in the other direction.

International comity would protect the mail box if need be, but no pirates lurk about that region, and whatever natives may be there would have small uso for the contents of the mail box. It is the world's most southern post office, more than twenty degrees south of Cape Town and more than ten degrees south of any post town in Oceanica. ....

FLIGHTY. JAMES.

Modest Opinion of Dr. Lowell In Regard to Ills Afterward Distinguished Son. There is something perennially funny In the estimate of young poets by their personal friends. Some affectionate partisans, to be sure, find a nightingale in every bush, and applaud genius in any versified production, but the majority of sensible fathers and mothers wait for larger and maturer results before expressing their delight. A brilliant young essayist furnishes a case in point, relates the Youth's Companion, from his own experience, ne was apparently becoming famous at a rapid rate, and some one congratulated his father on tho fact. "I wish Tom would stick to his law study," said the old gentlemen, testily. "Sometimes I think he's a born fool!"

A writer in the Critic says of the father of James Russell Lowell: "I was in Rome and Florence at one time with Dr. and Mrs. Lowell. He was under deep depression, and sensitive to small vexations. I received one day quite a number of letters from I5oston, and the doctor, grieving that he had none, insisted upon my reading him some of mine. "Among them was one from my brother, giving an account of commencement, and containing, some extracts from Lowell's manuscript class poem, which he had lent to my brother. My thought naturally was as I read it: 'This will delight the doctor.' "Quite otherwise. The doctor said, sadly: 'I am very soiry and disappointed. James promised me when I left home that he would give up poetry and stick to his books. I hoped he had become less flighty!'"

The Original Scriptures.

The Scriptures were first written on skins, linen cloth or papyrus, and rolled up as we do engravings. The Old Testament was written in the old Hebrew character—an offshoot of the Phoenician. It was a symbol language as written, having no vowels. The consonants only were written and the vowel sounds supplied by the voice. The woras ran together in a continuous line. After the Hobrew became a dead language vowels were supplied to preserve usage, which was passing away. After the Babylonish captivity the written Hebrew was modified by the Aramaic, and schools of reading taught the accent and emphasis. Then came the separation of words from each other, then division into verses.

The Best tn the World.

Senator Henry C. Nelson, of New York, writes. "On the 20th of February, 18S3, 1 was taken with a .violent pain in the regioi, of the kidneys. I suffered such agony thn I could haraly stand up. As soon us possible 1 applied two Alcock's Porcus Plas ters. one over eaCh kidney and laid down, In an hour, to my surprise and delight, tht puin had vanished and I was well. 1 won the plasters for a day or two as a precaution und then remove them. I have been using Alleock's Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and beU remedy for colds, strains at rheumatic affections. From my exoericnce I believe they are the best nlasters in 1hc world."

••Ho," said a well-known statesman, shall never believe that woman has the proper judgment and sense to cast a ballot, or interfere in politics, while she is so weak-minded as to passively suffer, year after year, from diseases peculiar to females, when every newspaper she picks up, tolls of the merits of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Not to take advantage of this remedy is certainly an indication of mental weakness.

There is a wholesome kernel of truth inside the rough shsll of this ungallant speech. Tho "Favorite Prescription" is invaluable in all uterine troubles, inflammations, ulcerations, displacements, nervous disorders, prostration, exhaustion, or hysteria. For run down, worn out women, no more slrengthenlnc tonic or nervine is known.
