THK DREADFUL PRICE UE WISDOM. The laboring people of this country are getting wisdom rapidly, bnt they are paying a ureacful price for it. The following story, whioh cornea west in a special telegram, is told by Father Mahoney, pastor of a chnroh in Brooklyn:
Together with his assistant priests ho has during the last wevk made a house-to house canvass of his parish. He personally Inspected more than half the tenements, and the result of his investigation was given to .the congregation. Ascending the altar steps during every mass ho graphically pictured cases of hunger and destitution, of which he bad been an eyewitness. "Never mall my experience," he said, "has Brooklyn been in such a condition as at present. "Hundreds of families are starving, and unless reiief comes!, aud that speedily, the results will be appalling to contemplate. I have seen strong men, steady and Industrious, actually begging for bread to feed their starving children. For months they have been out of employment. There is uo work for them to do, nor are these any indications that the situation wiil improve for two or three months at least. "This is the first time in my career aa Catholic priest," he went on, "that 1 have been obliged to use such language. 1 have Invariably he thai actual want and poverty are caused by tne people themselves, and that they are shiftless, spendthrifts, or drunkards. This time it is different. Good, honest families are feeliug it. The little they mauajred to save in times past has disappeared, and, as result In inanv L^mes this morhing there is nor as much as a loaf of bread1."
This is bat a repetition of the story that comes from every manufacturing city in the Union. In view of so much misery is id too much to say that the leaders of the Democratic party have committed a black and hideous crime against the working people of this Nation? They induced these people to believe that free trade would lighten their burdens and make them happy, and thereby secured their votes for Mr Cleveland and a free trade Congress. Bat instead of making their fortunes better, the mere throat of free trade has speedily brought them to the verge of starvation. Grossly hnve they be?n deceived. Bitterly are they Euffenng from their credulity. Bat, if the whole country shall learn, from the heart-rending scenes throngh which we are now passing, that our great mechanical industries constitute one of the main foundations of our prosperity, and that warfare on them is warfare on the wage-earners' only means of support, the lesson will be worth its cost.
WILL RTJIN MICHIGAN
Hon. J. U. Burrows, a member of Congress from Michigan, and a leader on the Republican side, thinks the tariff bill prepared by Chairman "Wilson to be the worst ever introduced into Congress. He thinks its free trade provisions for copper, iron, salt and lumber vuli ruir Michigan. Concerning the Wilson bid Mr. Burrows says:
The bill as a'whole in itg free trnde features is more oflt3»sive than any measure of tho kind ever presented to the American Congress. It is particularly severe upon the industries of Michigan, oordorin^as we«io u-on Canada. It
was
important that our agricultural pro
ducts should receive that just protection cii was secured in the McKlnl«*y H, but nnd««r the propo^d measure many of these products are put on the free list, while others
j.re educed
to a purely revenue basis
instance, laere ie peppermint which now protected bv a duty ot S3 per pound. It is reduced to 25 per cent, nd valorem. li-.tter reduced from six to four cents pvr puuod hay from iu per ton honey twenty to ten ecnls per fralion outers, forty to twenty cent* per bushel i*otatoes, twenty-flvo to ten cents per busael ejrga ou free list live aniaals vlr tually reduced to,20 per cent ad valorem all agricultural products are exposed to ruinous Canadian competition The tfreat industries are slaughtered without mercy. We are to have tree copper ore, free iron ore, free salt and free lumber. There was but one more provision which could have been proposed in this bill to rrake our humiliation complete and that would have been to annex Michigan to
Cauada. I am jrlad, however, that "Halm of fJiJeud" is
10
he put on the free list. We will
need "Balm of Gilead" and we will need it cheiiplnthe near future. I am glad that strychnine is on the free ilkt. Judas went and huupr himself but some modern Democrats will prefer strychnine when they come face to face*Aitii the resultsol the betrayal of-the American people.".
David A. Wells, who baB had more do in framing the Wilson bill than anv other man has this to say o! an in come tax: "It la ft tax involving such Inquisitorial 'out urns as a c.iuilitlonoi efficiency iliat it should never lie ihcught of under a free government, except under XIj'i exigencies of war, and can never be equitably enforced in the Cniic-d Stales except by arbitrary and despotic irulboflK, which Its people. If they are to continue free, will never tolerate."
Bat where is tho revenue to come from? The Wilson bill will create a deficiency of 875,000,000.
Henuy Wattehson in his lecture in Chicago a few nights ago, eaid that Lincoln was inspired by God with wisdom to pat down the rebellion. If Mr. WatterBon will iook into history closely he will find that the Almighty has usually been on the liepnblican side. It is, however, mean in Watterson to attempt to rob Mr. Lincoln of the credit of do ng the great work he accomplished by attributing it to another ngencv, Lincoln waB wist but it is probably true that all human witdom comes from God.

,:You
appear to be astonished," lie
said, siuiliri? ut mv expression of surprise "Now that 1 do know it shall do my best to forgot it." "To forget it!" •'You see," he explained, "1 consider that a man's brum originally is like a little empty attic, and vou have to stock it with such furniture as yon choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the Uuowledgre which uiigrht be useful to him gets crowded out. or at best is jumHed up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difticuUv iu laving his hands mon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brainattic. lie will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing- his work, but of these he has a lurg-e assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls aud can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something: that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therelore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones." "But the solar system!" 1 protested. "What the deuce is it to mo?" he interrupted impatiently "you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work." 1 was on the point of asking him what that work might be, but something iu his manner showed me that the question would be an unwelcome one. I pondered over our short conversation, however, and endeavored to draw mv deductions from it. He said that he would acquire no knowledge which did not bear upon his object, Therefore all the knowledge which he possessed was such, as would be useful to him. I enumerated iu my own mind all the various points upon which he had shown me that ho was exceptionally well informed. I even took a pencil and jotted them down. I could not help smiling at the document when I had completed it. Itrau in this way:
SB2KLOCR HOLMES—his limits. 1. Knowledge of L.imraiur*—Nil. 2. Knowledge of Philosophy.—Nil. 3. Knowledge of Astronomy.—NiL 4. Knowledge of Politics.—Feeble. 5. Knowledge of Botany.—Vanabla Weil up in belladonna, opium and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening. 6. Knowledge, of Geology. Practical, but tolled Ttrlls at a plnnce different soils from cach other. ATi^r walks has shown mo splashes upon his trousers, ar.d toM me by their color and consistence in what par4, of London he had received them. 7. Knowledge of Chemistry,—Profound. 8.

When I had,got so far ,ln my list I threw it into the fire in despair. "If 1 can only find what the fellow is driving at by reconciling all- those accomplishments. and discovering a calling

hich needs them all," I said to myself, "I may as weil give- up, ..the attempt at once."
I see that I have alluded above to his powers on the violin. These were very* remarkable, but as" eccentric as all his other accomplishments. That ho could play pieces, and difficult pieces, I knew well, because at my request he has played rae some of Mendelssohn's Liedur arid other favorites. V.'hon left to hi:nelf, however, he would seldom pro-luce any music or attempt any recognized air. [.caning back in his arra chair of an evening he would close his eyes and scrape carelessly at the fiddle •which was thrown across his knee. Sometimes the chords were sonorous and melancholy. Occasionally they were fantastic and cheerful. Clearly they reflected the thoughts which possessed him. but whether the music aided those thoughts, or whether the playing was simply the result of a whim or fancy was more than I could determine. I might have rebelled against these exasperating solos had it not been tlsat he usually terminated them by playing in quick succession a whole series of my favorite airs as a slight compensation for the trial upon lay patience.
During the first week or so we had no callers, and I had begun to think that my companion was as friendless a man as I was myself. Presently, however, I found that he had many acquaint, ances, and those in most different classes of society. There was one little. sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow who was introduced to me as Mr I.estrade, and who came three or four times in a single week. One morning a young girl called, fashionably dressed, and stayed for half an hour or more. The same afternoon brought a gray-headed, seedy visitor, looking like a Jew peddler, who appeared to me to be much excited, and who was closely followed by a slip-shod elderly woman. On another occasion an old whitehaired gentleman had an interview with my companion and on another a railway porter in his velveteen uniform. When any of these nondescript individuals put in an appearance, Sherlock Holmes used to beg for the use of the sitting-room. 9nd I would retire to my bedroom. Ho always apologized to me for putting me to this inconvenience. "I have to use this room as a place of business," he said, "and these people are my clients." Again I had an opportunity of asking him a pointblank question, and airain my delicacy prevented me from forcing another man to confide in me. the time that he had some strong reason for not alluding to it. but he soon dir.j-elled the idea by corning round to

It was upon tho 4th of March, as 1 have good reason to remember, that 1 rose somewhat earlier than usual, and fount! that Sherlock lluluies had not yet finished his breakfast. Tho landlady had become so accustomed to my late habits that my place had not been laid nor bit coffee prepared. With the unreasonable petulance of mankind 1 rang- the bell una pave a curt intimation that I was ready. Then I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while iiwav the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark nt the heading, and 1 naturally began to run my eye through it.

A NARROW ESCAPE! How it Happened.
Tho follo^ins remarkable event in a l.idy'a life will interest the reader: "For a lonir tim*11 had a terrible pain at my heart, which fluttered almost incessantly. I had no appetite and could not sleep. 1 would bo compelled to nit up in bed ana bolch gas from my stomach unul I thought every minute would be my last. There was a feellns? of oppression libqut my heart, and I was afraid to draw a full breaih. §1 couldn't sweep a room without sitting down and resting but, thank God, by the help of 'ew Heart Curo all that is past and I feel like another woman. Before using the New Heart Cure I had taken different so-called remedies and been treated by doctors without any benefit until I was both discouraged and disgusted. My husband boushtmeaboltta of Dr. Miles* New Heart ?un\ and am happy to say I never repretted it, as 1 now have a splendid appetite and *!ecp well.* I wciphed 125 pounds when I bejran taking tho remedy, and now I weigh J3DVt.

Its somewhat ambitious title was "Tho Hook of Life." and it attempted ... to show how much an observant man A nG Stock of goods f01'ltlC 1'ly might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixturo of shrewdness and absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deductions appeared to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer elaimcd by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glancc of an eye, to fathom a man's inmost thoughts. Deceit, according to him, was an impossibility in tue case of one trained to observation and analysis. 11 is conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that, until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them, they mi^ht well consider him a necromancer.
