TIIK tariff duty on tin is now in effoct. There is no Increase in the price of the tin whistle, the dinner pail, the coffee pot, nor in anything else. What's the matter with the tariff? The occupation of the tin plate prevaricator is in rapid process extinction like that of the calamity calliope.
EVKUYBODY knows thatChas. A.Dana's Sun is not friendly to Mr. Cleyeland. It refers to h:s last speech and siys: "It was stuffed with those novel, original and fresh utterances of which he is jimtly celebrated." To read this between the lioes or in the light of an the reader will catch the meaning.
A wniTHftln the New Albany Public Press says: "It renliy il«o# sewn that to tax property owner for the Improvement# on hi* real estate it aitlsttountgeuient toward* advancement, enturprlno, public and private pride: wrong lu principle and opposed to the Improvement and beautifying of a city. A real estate owner kuows Hint If he Improves hi* property very extensively ho will have much more tax to pay on account of his enterprise and he thinks two or three times before ho decides to proceed towards the

contemplated."
If a flue busint building or dwelling ought not to be taxed, then why tax a fine cow, or grade of cattle, horses, swine, eheep or anything else that is in the nature of an improvement. The Press talks only ntnsente.
UAAPSLKY, the t'tn bowling city treniurar of Philadelphia, waft yesterday sentenced to fifteen years in the Eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania, at hard labor. A strong and eloquent plea was made in his behalf by Lis attorneys but without avail in an admitted crime. In proceeding to pas? ssnHnce Judo Wilsoa remarked, ,'the duty wis exceedingly painful on arcosnt of their personal relations and long acquaintance. He knew the prisoner had been an honored citjjwn, but felt that sentence must be served as the crime was great and a warning must be given others." In view of the fine imposed in addition to the term of fifteen years, is equivalent to a life sentence.

trade papers which mouth about
the tariff as a dog "mouths a bone," and which parrot like» parrot, about the "increased cost of living1' under the tariff law, are "luxurlent" in general assertion, but abstemious when it comes to quoting actuil figures to sustain their assertion. They bow! that the tariff is paid by the consamer, and yawp that it is a tax. But when they are called upon to give the figures, they howl on another line. They evade, dodge, sneak avray and hide under cover ©I the old, old assertion that tariff is for the benefit of the rich, the millionare. The thing to do is to
tie priceeof the same articles now. That will afford some light on the subject. It will be facto that DO one can fail to nn dentand. Then the people can judge Gold figures founded en tact talk.

HERE AND THERE-
Near Fourteenth and Main sheets one evening quite recently a strange occurrence took place, which, but for the ex cellent reputation of one of the leading actore might have given rise to a sensational kidnapping story. Twogentlemen and their wives were walking aloog pushing two baby buggies which wete exactly alike, until they came to a certain store where the two baby carriages with their tender occupants wire left outside while their elders went within. One gentleman finished his business before the rest stepped out onto the sidewalk to go home. He placed himself behind one of the baby carriages ane started off pushing it ahead of him when a woman's voice reached his ears and it said to him "liey! briDg my baby back here. How many do you want anyhow?' The gentleman saw his mistake in an instant and after pushing the wrong baby back to where he got it he started off with his own without saying a word.
1 here is one attorney practicing at the local bar who has a wonderful propensity for whittling. He never was accused of turning out anything with his jack knife but nevertheless be is always on the whittle. Seldom is he seen sitting down but he has his knife out backing and shaving away on something. In the court room chips are scarce and when this lawyer does not happen to have a pine chip in his pocket he instinctivtly picks up a pen from one of the desks or tables and puts his blade to work on one of the holdeis. Baliff Kisner has at last grown tired oi running himself to death hunting new penholders, so he laid in a stock oi soft pine strips. The otbtr day Mr. Lawyer came into the court room, seated i»iinself at a table, pulled out his knife, reached for a penholder, and went to work. The bailiff saw the move and stepped down and presented him with a pine Btrip. The wbtttler looked at him a minute, then took the pine strip instead of tue pen and went to whittling it, but he has not had lo be resented with another of the bilitl's strips yet.
Tli'a morning a rather seedy looking individual and who had undoubtedly been the victim of some of Dead Dick's novels or other blood and thunder stories arrived from the north and claimed to be enroute to Stinesville where he could obtain work. His only companion was an old mueket whick looked as though it might have occupied a foremost position in the war of 1812. While awaiting his train he took occasion to tell of some of his hair breadth escapes and thrilling adventures in frigid zono of Canada.
He claimed to be the victim of a desperato fight with a monstrous bear on the dizzy heights of the Itock Mountains in which he came out victorious and from his appearence it is possible the bear looked before it leaped. The fellow, during his visit to Terre Haute, greatly amueed rather large audience at the depot by relating a portion of his past life and that of his bettor half whom he claimed had never seen him. Much to the delight of Depot Master MartiD, the crank to a leave of absence and disappeared in the dim distance.
A PHENOMENON.
A Grral I.ak« Formed In tbe Desert—
So Oi«
Knows from Whfoce It Comm. Ixs ANOKI.E*, Oal., July 3.—Dispatches says the waters continue to rise in the Colorado desert basin and are advancing at the rate of one hundred feet an hour, but is still 2,000 feet from the Southern Pacific railway track. Among tbe people at Salton, the utmost variety of theories are held, but the finding of salt water fish would indicate that the water came from the ocean. Tbe specific gravity of the water, taken at different points is much heavier than ocean water. This fact is accounted for by the presence of tbe vast bed of salt, making it impossible to determine whether the water comes from the ocean or the river. G. W. Debrows, of the salt works, who has spent seven years at Salton. is becoming alarmed at the raise of the water. The theory of the water backing op from the river is cot credited by those most familiar with the country, as the water in the Colorado was at its hi ah est point many days since, and would have appeared at Salton long before this had that been the cause of the flood, and the presence of the salt water fish dispels this idea to-day. The general accepted idea that the water comes from the Gulf of California.

Two twy Old Praple Will Celebrate the Fourth. AixAimc CITY, K. Y., July 3.—A miniature American flig only a foot tquaro floats to-day over an old hut that is located in the midst of alienee swamp between Tuckahoe and Mays Landing and a few miles from hers on ths Camden St Atlantic road. Ths hut also is very much of a miniature for it is only twenty feet long and ten feet wide, one story in height and constructed of rude pine boards. Yet for a quarter of a century it has been occupied by "Uncle Jimmy" Lay ton, the oldest and most piciutetque inhabitant of New Jereey. With him resides his wife and a demented daughter. At 9 o'clock to-morrow morning "Uncle Jim" will have reached his one hundred and fourth year, and five houis later lib better half will be celebrating her nintty-eighth birthday. Jt is in honor of thefca events that the little tlasr is flying from the shingles. Notwithstanding ins advanced years "Uncle Jimmy'f is still able to support his family by tilling a half acre of ground which surrounds bis cal in. The furniture of the latter comprises a broken stove, four old chairs without Dacks, an old box that i3 a combination table and wardrobe, and two venerable bedeteads with very little bedding. With fheee meagre household acctssoiies the old couple have been content ever since the latter part of the sixties, and yet they are as happy as tbe day is long. Sixty years ago, "Uncle Jimmj had what was then regarded a? the finest farm in New Jejtey. He created it out of tbe forrest and the -old dame still lives to tell how ehe ust,d to fake her cradle with the babies in it into the fields, and making the eldest children rock it while she attended to the crops. One year when her husband was ill she did all the work in this way, raising five hundred bushels of corn and manv wagon loads of vegetables, and carried them on her back to the neighboring towns to seil. It was an outcome of this illness that Jimmy was compellf to sell bis farm for one hundred dollars, a good deal of money in thoeedays, when acres of cultivated land could be bought forason^. To-day the ground,which it occupied is worth millions. Even when 6he was seventy years of age "Uncle Jimmy'a" wife worked in the field? for a dollar a day. All about their little but they have ploughed up the soil with the little hand plow and there are vegetables growing. Considering its size it is one of the finest gardens in the state. Tbey are tbe patents of thirteen children, six of whom are now living, fortv-tbrte grandch.i'dren, forty of whom are still living, and three ereatgrandchildren, who are also living. Yet tbey cannot get a dollar from any one of the forty-nino and in their superstition they ascribe the failure of their children to support them to the fact that thtre are thirteen of them. In 1S02, during the war, their son James, who is now nearly 70 years of age, was wounded in battle and taken to a hospital. The mother started after him. She was given a free ride to Philadelphia, and from there drifted from place to place, sometimes walking and at other times being given a lift by passing te*tn?. Finally sbe found her bov in a southern hospital almost at the point of death. She nursed him back to life and brought him home. Old man Layton has chewed and smoked for eighty-live years and his wife bas kept him company in the tobacco habit for the past twenty. Neither of them, however, ever tasted intoxicating liquors in their lives. Both are unflinching democrats. The old couple have fattened up two turkeys in joint honor of the Fourth and their birthdays and will keep open house to-morrow with as big a spread as their meager means will permit.

There, mut-' tering prayers, she poured yure water upon my hands into a ewer of gold, and having dipped a fine cloth into the water, therewith wiped my brow. "O happy Egypt 1" she said "O happy Prince, that art come to ruls in Egypt 1 O royal youth! —too Royal to be a priest—so shall many a fair woman think but, perchance, for thee they will relax the priestly rule, else how shall the race of Pharaoh be carried on! O happy I, who dandled thee and gave my flesh aud blood to save thee! 0 royal and beautiful Harmachis, born for splendor, happiness and lovo!" "Cease, cease," I said, for her talk jarred upon me "oall mo not happy till thou knowest my end and speak not to me of love, for with love comes sorrow, and mine is another and a higher way." "Ay, ay, so thou sayest—and joy, too, that comes with love Never talk llghtiy of lovo, my King for it brought thee here! La! la I but it is always the way—'The goose on the wing laughs at crocodiles,' so goes their saying liown at Alexandria 'but wuen the goose is asleep on tho water, it is the crocodiles who laugh.' Not but what women are pretty crocodiles. Men worship the crocodiles at Anthribis (Crocodopolls), but they worship women all the world over I La! how my tongue does run on, and thou about to be crowned Pharaoh I Did I not prophecy it to thee Well, thou art clean.

And I came forth -with the old wife's foolish talk ringiug in my ears, though of a truth her folly had ever a grain of wit in it.
As I came, once more the Dignitaries rose and bowed before me. Then my father, without delay, drew near mo, and placed within my hands a golden image of the divine Goddess Ma 'vTruth, and golden

images of the arks of the divine God AmenRa, of the divine Mout, and tho divius Khons, aiijl spake solemnly: "Thou swearcst by this living fhajesty of Ma, by the majesty of Amen-Ra, of Mout, and of Khonst" "I swear I" I said. "Thou swearest by tho rtoly land of Khem, by Sihor's flcod, by the Temples of tho Gods and the eternal Pyramids 1"" "I swear 1" "Remembering thy doom if thou shouldst fail therein, thou swearest that thou wilt in all things govern Egypt according to its ancient law9, that thou wilt preserve the worship of its Gods, that thou wilt do equal justice, that thou wilt not oppress, that thou wilt not betray, that thou wilt make no alliance with the Roman or tho Grc-k, that thou wilt cast out *ho foreign idols, that thou wilt devote thy ?ife to tho liberty of the land of Khem?" "I swear!" "It is well. Mount, ther, thy throne, that in tho presence of thtso thy subjects I may name thee Pharaoh."
I mounted upon the thron*, whereof tho footstool is a sphinx, and tl canopy the overshadowing wings of Ma Theu did Amenemli&t onco again draw nigh aud place upon my brow the Fshent, and on my head the Double Crow*i, and about my shoulders the Royal Robe, and in my hands the Scepter and the ScouP&e. "Royal Harmachis," hft cried, "by these outward signs and tokens, I, tho High Pries* of the temple of Ra-Meu-Ma at Abouthis, crown thee Pharaoh of tho Upper and Lower Land. Reign and prosper, O Hope oi RhemiS" "Reign and prosper, Pharaoh!" echoed the Dignitaries, bowing down before me.
Then, one by one, they swore allegianoe, till all had sworn. And having sworn, my father took me by the hand in solemn procession he led me into each of the st-ven Sanctuaries that are in this temple of Ra-Men-Ma, and in each I made offerings, swung incense, and officiated as Priest. Clad in the Royal Robes I made offerings in the Shrine of Horns, in the Shrine of Lsia, In tho Shrine of Osiris, in the Shrine of Amen-Ra, in the Shrine of Horemku, in the Shrine of Ptah, till at length I reached the Shrine of tho King's Chamber.
Here they made their offering to me, as tho Divine Pharaoh, and left me very weary—but a King.

So I embraced him, and went. Alas! 1 little thought how we should meet again. Thus it came about that once more I passed down the Nile, traveling a9 a man of no estata And to such as wcro curious about me it was given out that I was tho adopted son of the High Priest of Abouthis, having been brought up to the priesthood, and that I had at last refused tne service of the Gods, and chosen to go to Alexandria to se6k my fortune. For, bo it remembered, I was by all those who know not tae truth still held to be the grandson of the old wife, Atoua.
On tho tenth night, sailing with tho wind, we reached tho mighty city of Alexandria, the city of a thousand lights. Above them all towered tho white Jpharos, that wonder of the world, from the crown whereof a light like the light of the sun blazed out across the waters of the harbor to guide mariners on their way across tho wine-dark sea. Tho vessel, for it was night, having been most cautiously made fast to the quay, 1 disembarked and stood wondering at the vast mass of houses, and confused by the clamor of many tongues. For here all peoples seemed to bo gathered together, each speaking after tho fashion of his own land. And as I stood a young man came and touched mo on the shoulder, asking me if I was from Abouthis and named Harmachis. I said, "Yea." Thereon, b.nding over me, he whispered the secret pass word iuto mine car, and, beckoning to two slaves, bade them buing my apparel from tho ship. This they did, lighting their way through tho crowd of porters who wcro clamoring for hire. Then I followed him adown tho quay, which was bordered with drinking places, where all sorts of men were gathered, tippling wino aud watching the dancing of women, somo of whom were but scantily arrayed, and some not arrayed at all. And so we went through the lamp-lit houses, till at last wo readied the shoro of the groat harbor, and turned to the right along a wido way paved with granite and bordered by strong houses, having cloisters in front of them, the like of which I had never seen. Turning ouce more to the right, we came to a quieter portion of the city, where, save for parties of strolling revelers, the streets were still. Presently my guide halted at a houso buiit of white stove, We passed in, and, crossing a small zou/tyard, entered a chamber where there was a light. And here at last I found my uncle Sepa, most glad to see me safe. When I had washed and eaten he told me that all things went well, and that as yet there was no thought of evil at the Court. Further, he said, it having come to the ears of tho Queen that the Priest of On was sojourning at Alexandria, she sent for him and closely questioned him—not as to any plot, for of that she never thought, but as to the rumor which had reached her that there was treasure hid in the Great Pyramid that is by On. For, being ever wasteful, she was ever in want of money, and had bethought her of opening tho Pyramid. But be laughed at her, telling her the Pyramid was the burying place ot tbe Divine Chufu, and that naught knew he of its secrets. Then she was angered, and swore that so surely as she ruled in Egypt she would tear it down, stone by stone, and discover tbe secret at its heart. Again he laughed, and tn the words of the proverb which they oave here at Alexandria, told her that "Mountains live longer than Kings." Thereon she smilod at his ready answer and let aim go. Also my uncle Sepa told me that an the morrow I should see this Cleopatra. For it was her birthday (as, indeed, it was also mine), and, dressed as tbe Holy lsis, she would pass in state from her palace on the Lochias to the be rape am to offer a sacrifice at tho shrine of ths false God who sits therein. And he said thereafter that the fashion whereby 1 should gain entrance to the household of tbe Queen should be contrived.
Than, being very weary, I went to rest but could sleep little tor the strangeness of the place, the noises in the streets, and the thought of the morrow. Whila it was yet dark, I rose, climbed th# stair to the root of the house, and waited. Presently the sun's rays shot out like arrows, acd lit upon tbe white wonder of th* marble Pharos, where-

There it was planned that I should join him, for there, at Alexandria, the egg of the plot was" hntcling. Accordingly, when at last the summons came, all things being prepared, I raado mo ready for the journey and passed into my father's chamber to receive his blessing ere 1 went. There sat the old man, as once before he sat when he rebuked me because I went out to slay the lion, his long white beard resting on the table of stone and sacred writings in his hand. When I came iu he rose from his seatand would have knelt, crying: "Hail, Pharaoh!" but I caught him by the hand. "It is not meet, my father," I said. "It is meet," he answered. "It is meet that I should bow me before my King. But be it as thou wilt. And so thou goest, Harmachis! My blessing go with thee, O my son, and may those whom I serve grant it to me that my old oyes may, indeed, behold thee on the throne 1 Long have I searched, striving, O Harmachis, to read the future that ahall be, but naught can I learn by all my wisdom. It is hid from me, and at times my heart fails me. But bear this: There is danger in thy path, and it comes.in the form of woman. Long have I known it, and therefore hast thou been called to the worship of the heavenly Isis, who bids her votaries put away the thought of woman till such time as she shall think well to slackeu the rule. O my son, I would that thou wert not so strong and fair —stronger and fairer, indeed, than any man in Egypt, as a King should be—for in that strength and beauty may lie a causo of stumbling. Beware, then, of those witches of Alexandria, lest, like a worm, somo one of them creep into thy heart and eat its secret out." "Have no fear, my father," I answered, frowning "my thought is sot on other things than red lips and. smiling eyes." "It is good," he answered "so may it befall. And now farewell. When next we meet, may it be in that happy hour when, with all the Priests of tho Upper Land, I move down from Abouthis to do my homago to Pharaoh on hi9 throne."

I made no answer, for there was truth in his words. And yet to me tho city seemed very fair to look on. After wo had oaten, my uncle told mo it was uow time to set out to view tho 'vrch of Cleopatra, as sho went in triumph the shino of Serapis. For although sho would not pass till within two hours of tho midday, yet these people of Alexandria have so great a love of shows ana idling that had we not presently set forth by no means could wo havo come through tho press of tho multitudes who were already gathering along tho highways where the Queen must ride So wo went out to take our place upon astaud, fashtouod of timber, that had been built at tho side of the great road which pierces through the city, even to the Canopio Gato. For therein my uncle had purchased a jht to enter, and that dearly.
And with much struggle we won our way through tho great crowds that were already gathered in the streets, till wo reached tho scaffolding of timber, which was raofed in with an awning and gayly hung with scarlet cloths. Hero wo seated ourselves upou a bench and waited for somo hours, watching the niultitudo press past, shouting, singing and talking loudly in many tongues. At length camo soldiers to clear the road, clad, after the Roman fashion, in coats of chain armor. After tbem marched heralds enjoining silence (whereat tho populaco sang und shouted all the more loudly), and crying that Cleopatra, the Queen, was coming. Then followed a thousand Cilician skirmishers, thousand Thraciana, a thousand Macedonians, aud a thousand Gauls, each armed after tho fashion of their own country. Then passed five hundred men of those who are called the Fenced Horsemen, for both men and horses were altogether covered with armor. Next camo youths und maidens sumptuously draped and wearing golden crowns, and with them images symbolizing Day and Night, Morning aud Noon, the Heaveus and tho Earth. After these camo many fair women pouring perfumes on tho road, and others scattering blooming flowers. Now there rose a great shout of "Cleopatra! Cleopatra!" and I hold my breath and bent forward to see her who dared to put on the robes of lain. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

"So t" he said, looking at me from beneath his shaggy eyebrows "and what thinkest thou of Alexandria?" "I think it is like some city of the Gods," I answered. "Ay!" he replied, fiercely, "a city of tho infernal Gods—a sink of corruption, a bubbling well of iniquity, a borne of false faith springing from false hearts! 1 would that no* one stone of it were left upon another Btone, and that its wealth lay deep beneath yonder waters I I would that tha gu lis were screaming across its site, and that the wind, untainted by a Grecian breath, swept through its ruins from ocean to Mareotts! O Royal Harmachis. let not the luxury and beauty of Alexandria poison thy sense for in their deadly air Faith perishes and Roligion can not spread her heaveuiy wings. When the hour comes for thoo to rule, Harmachis, cast down this accura'cd citv, and, as thy fathers did, set up thy throne in the white walls of Memfi. For I tell thee that for Egypt Alexandria is but splendid gate of ruin, and while it endures all nations of the earth shall inarch through it to the plunder of the land, and all false faiths shall nestle in it and breed the overthrow of Egypt's Gods."
