CARLISLE’S DISCOURAGING FIGURES.
One of the newspaper correspondents who were prsßent at the birth of the new party at Cincinnati the other day writes that in their great delightsome of the gentry who attended the oomrention tho’t it would be a good idea to go over the river into Kentucky and ask Senator Carlisle what he thought of the new infant. They did so, and they met with a cordial reception. Some of the western de’egates have rather a kindly feeling for Carlisle. They believe he is an honest man, and they wanted his opinion of the revolt they are leading. They talked with the Senator about some of their pet projects and asked what he thought of them Government ownership of railroads and telegraphs was brought up, and Mr. Carlisle turned questioner. “Do yon propose to get possession of these properties by confiscation?’ - he asked them. “No; that wouldn’t be fair,” they admitted. [““Then yon must buy them," was the reply, “and to buy them yon must pay for them, and to pay for »them you must tax vonrselves. Have you any idea how much it will eost? Our government debt at the close of the war was more than two thousand millions, and we have been almost thirty years in paying half of tt— The railroads, telegraphs, telephone lines and the country represent about $10,000,000,000 invested capital; $4,000,000,000 is bonded indebtedness which must be paid. Are yon ready to tax yourselves to raise this money? Then, after yon have got the property, are you ready to tax yourselves to operate it, for the government never yet succeeded in doing business at a profit? Consider another effect; such a plan would add perhaps 1,500,000 men and women to the roll of government employes. How would yon succeed in turning out of power an administration with such resources at its command? The more corrupt it was the more difficult it would be to displace it.” The delegation looked dubious and perplexed, for the qaestions and suggestions were evidently all new to their sanguine and enthusiastic minds. “Anyhow,” broke in one of them, changing the subject, “don’t you think the money power is getting into too few hands?" “Yes, I admit it is a bad sign,” replied Mr. Carlisle. “But how are you going to remedy it? By a revolution or by an act of legislature? Do yon propose to say by your legislature that when a man has earned SIOO or SI,OOO or SIO,OOO that he shall not earn any more? Again there was no response. The visitors presented two or three more of the grievances which form the basis of their revolt, and Mr. Carlisle tested them one after the other with the question: “How can they be remedied by your proposed plan?" And no practical answer was suggested. The fathers of the new party went away with the idea that, after all, the political millennium might not be as near at hand as they imagined it to be. An inch of rain means 100 tons of water on every acre.

Do U. C? Ex-Senator Regan puts the truth “in a nut shell when he says: “I do not approve of the policy of the ownership of the telegraph by the govornment, but favor the regulation and control of the lates by the states and federal government in their respective spheres." “For similar reasons and because of the great power and patronage the telegraph and railroads would give the federal government, I do not approve of the government ownershio of railroads.” A horse owned in Louisville, Ky„ is over forty-seven years old.

George Mitcbel of Delphi Ind,, visited his aunt and nnole, Mr. Mrs. Robert Kepner, during this week. Rensselaer will oelebrate! A meeting will be held at the,’Court House next Monday evening, to oomplete the neoessary arrangements. A year ago 10 14-20 Bessemer steel coke tins were selling in New York at s4.3sper box. To-day they are selling at $6.15 per box. Messrs. C. S. Trench & Co., metal brokers, 54 Cliff-st., New York, offer thro’ the Evening Post, of that city, to take 6,000 boxes of American tin plate, in monthly installments of 1.000 boxes, at $5,15, $5,20, $5,25, *5.30, $5.35 and $5.40 respectively. The Evening Post says: It will bej noticed that C. 8. Trench t Co’s oiler is increased 6 oents perl box per month for each successive month, July to December, which is exactly contrary to what might have been expected were there any prosoect of the present American sai pies resultit g in an American production of tin plates during the next six months. Here stand buyers ready to pay 30 cents per box more for delivery seven months from now than the price ruling to day, and sl.lO per box more fifteen months after the passage of the McKinley bill than the price ruling at that time. NIL. Cort &. Co. of 245 and 247 Waterst., ■ New York, also write the Evening Post: We now beg to notify any American manufacturer that we are still in the market for I,DOO boxes each month from July to December, in all 6,000 boxes, IC 14-20 Bessemer steel ooke, and will pay any fair price that we can secure them at. We will, at the same figure, give the preference to the Amerioan make over the imported article. Further than this, we are in want of other grades of tin plates, and should be pleased to reoeive quotations from any manufacturer.
These gentlemen are not able to get any responses to their propositions. They will be compelled to buy English tin plate at a heavy advanoe on the old prices, caused by the increased duty. This ad. vance they pass on to their customers, and the workingmen, fanners and other consumers finally foot the bills. Great is protection!
Why don’t the diagramist of the Republican Literary Bureau, connected with the New York Press, whose diagramatio tariff pictures appear week after week in the Rensselaer Republican and other Republican organs annonnos that the above orders have been acoepted, even though it would prove to be a lie of the first water, We expect to see jnst such a policy adopted by the tin-plate liars.
An elderly maiden lady, visiting with Shendan at a country house, set her heart on being his companion for a walk. He excused himself on account of the badness of the weather. Soon she intercepted him attempting to escape. “So, Mr. Sheridan," she said, “it has clearednp, I see.” “Why. yes,” he answered, “it has cleared up enough for one, but not for two." Said the little city girl, alter returning from a visit in the oountry, “I wish we had a house oat of doors.”
“Can the character Le read from the handwriting?” Most assuredly it can.— Everyone can remember being influenced favorably or unfavorably by the penmanship of Some unknown person, and has been astonished to find how true she conclusions were; and some of the world’s foremost thinkers have maintained that the handwriting furnishes a more exact key to the oharacter than the head, face, or form. Character reading from handwriting is a fascinating study; and if you wish to learn all about it you must read the excellent and profusely illustrated article, “How to Read Character by Handwriting,” by Prof. Nelson Thorpe, published in the July number of Demorest’s Family Magazine, and yon will be still more interested in the subject. In the same number is a splendid article on “Chili,” which is particularly apropos at present;“Foes Afield: Plants Poisonous to the Stomach” is quite as seasonable, and every one can reoognize the plants from from the accurate illustrations; in “Summer Outdoor Games: Lawn Tennis, Badminton, Colors," they are so clearly described and illustrated that t e veriest novice can learn how to play them without ether instruction; and the amateur china painter may rival the professional by following the directions given in “The Use of Matt Colors. ” Besides, there are stories and poems, and over 200 illustra. tions, including a superb water color, a French costume study under the Empire, snd the numerous departments are full to overflowing with valuable matter. Briefly, this number fully maintains ti e justly earned prestige of being the Model Family Magazine, and it is published for $2 per year by W. Jennings Demorest, 15 East 14th St, New York.

A Scotch gentleman had traced his family baok to a period anterior to the Christian era. “By the holy Paul,” said Icledon, the singer, “you’ll tell me next that your ancestors were in the ark with Noah.” “I’ve no preeeese eveedence o’ the fac’," replied the Scotchman, “but I’ve a shrewd conjecture that they were." “Well, sir, I’d have you to know." said Charles, ‘that at that time, by G—, my family had a boat of their own."
