Tbero is a story ot Carlyle in bis old age having taken the following tare- well in bis broadest Scotch of u young friend who bail Imd him in charge for walks, aud who while almost always adapting himself to Carlyle's mood bad on a single occasion ventured to dis­ agree with him, "1 would have you to know, young man, that you have the capacity of being the greatest bore in Christendom." The boredom had con­ sisted solely in the rather negativo sin of not having been convinced of the troth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin all the more heinous because, instead of standing boldly up toC uilyleand de­ claring his doctrine utterly perverse, the companion hud betrayed his weak­ ness by an apologetic tone. Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he respected antagonists, but he could not endure being merely thwarted without being thoroughly roused. He felt in that case that he had made no impres­ sion at all on his interlocutor; that be had neither won him nor excited him to resistance. And nothing bored him so mnch as that. Of course it is only exceptionally despotic minds that are bored in this way.—Loudon Spectator. A C lev er G irl's T rick .

The artificial violets are a wonderful imitation of the real ones. It takes more than a passing glance to detect the difference between them; but, as made­ moiselle well knows. there is no counter­ feiting the fresh delicate perfume of the real flower. So the clever creature buys every day a 10 cent bunch of nature’s production, which she judiciously in- terspeises through a large cluster of the handiwork of art.

W , July 23. —Tlie following letter from M. D. Harter, Chairman of tlie House Subcommittee on Trusts, to II. O. llavemeyer, President ot tlie American Sugar Refining Company, was mailed to-day: 11 If you supply to me, as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Trusts and Manu­ factures, tlie information asked for here­ in, I will see tiiat it is laid before the public. A free trader myself, and lieliev- ing no tax should he levied ou sugar (nor any tiling else) except for revenue; never­ theless, as practically every article of general consumption is to retain protec­ tion, I feel no prejudice against tlie sugar interest as such, and I think a large num- la-r of tlie members of tlie House enter­ tain the same view. As, however, tlie sugar trust demands proteetion. or, more properly speaking, the taxation of the public for its profit, it should put before Congress and tlie public its real condi­ tion, so that an intelligent opinion of the merits of its demand may be formed. If, upon an actual and necessary invest­ ment of cash capital, you cannot save yourself from loss without burdening the taxpayers, then sugar lias as much justi­ fication 'and more) for being fed from tlie public resources by taxation as many industries which we aid in passing the Wilson bill, and it should lie allowed to remain upon tlie charity list. If, how­ ever, its profits have Jieeu excessive, when figured upon an actual easli and unwatered capital stuck, then you, as a fair-minded man, will agree with me that you should not have any legislative favors. In such an event a tax of 1 cent [ier iiound upon l(H)-degree sugar, for revenue only, would lie a fair and equita­ ble one, permitting a m iuct ion of one- hundredth of a cent for each degree of sweetness lacking. Kuril a tax as this, while taking nothing from the treasury of your company, would pour a great many millions into the government cof­ fers. The information asked for is com­ prehended under four heads: “ First—What is the present tax value, i. e., cost of replacing of its plants actu­ ally in operation and necessary to pro- duce flu-quantity of refined sugar turned out b_. your company? “ Second—W hat have Iieen tlie actual profits of the American Sugar Refining Uompany for each full fiscal year sinee its organization, and what are its profits so far in the current year? “ Third—What annual salary is paid to each of its general officers? “ Fourth—What is the actual paid-in cash capital, including the plants turned in at their real cash market value, and what is the present surplus fund of the company, including all individual prof­ its? “ The McKinley hill gives the sugar refiners an opportunity of collecting from the consumer a tax of one-half of a cent upon all sugars almve No. lti, ? er hitch pound standard, and the consumption of all elasHes of sugar during tlie past three fiscal years, aggregating 12,95li,802,445 pounds, fully 9,000,000,000 of which were above this limit. It follows therefore that tlie sugar trust and independent re­ finers in tne United States must have received over $40,000,000 of the people’s money, while the government received during the three years $470,751. As your company has asked certain favors, the propriety of supplying fhe country with tlie information asked herein will not tie questioned by so reasonable a man of business as yourself. You are a Demo­ crat, ami will, I trust, join me in tlie hope that within a few years tlie present wretched system of taxing the people (under tlie misleading notion of protec­ tion) for the benefit of private interests would be done away with entirely and forever.” a s h in g t o n liable news from Bluelields since the outbreak of hostilities there was brought here to-day by the steamships tiussie and Joliu Wilson, which arrived within a few hours of each otiier. The vessels left • here July 10, and at that time tlie situa­ tion in the Mosquito reservation was quite serious and threatened to develop into a regular war before long. After the removal of tieneral Lacayo, whose dictatorship brought about his downfall, through tlie demand of the United States government everything went along peacefully at tlie reservation. Young Chief Clarence of tlie Mosquito Indians resided in Bluelields under tlie protection of the British Consul aud the American warship, and nothing of note transpired until July 5, when some Indians and some Nicaraguan soldiers became in­ volved in a brawl on the streets of Blue- fields and two of the soldiers were killed, This caused a great deal of excitement, and it was feared that attempts of the new Commissioner, Henor Calsezas, to arrest the rioters would result in more bloodshed. That night, however, la-fore the au­ thorities had time to perfect their plans, the Indians executed aeoupd'etat, which changed the w hole aspect of affairs, aud which, the Nicaraguans charge, was in­ cited by the Americans. About the middle of tlie night the Indians made an attack on tlie bluffs, wtiere the Nicara­ guan troops were quart.led, and, driving them off, captured ..II tlie arms and am­ munition and fortified themselves in tile stronghold which Lacavu had liuilt for his soldiers. One hundred or more In­ dians, said to have Iieen commanded by Young Clarence himself, embarked on a flatlmat and stealthily moved around to tlie bluffs, until they were directly op­ posite them, and before tlie sentries were aware of what was going on opened fire on tlie bluffs and on the troops, who hail been suddenly railed to arms. The Nic- Hraguans were so surprised that they tied. It is si.id that two or three soldiers were killed in the attack. The next morning the cruiser Marble­ head lauded fifty marines, and quartered them near tlie International Club to pro­ tect American interests. This was deemed necessary, owing to tlie hostility of the .Spaniards, who attributed tlie midnight attack to the influence of the American residents. The Commissioner immediately set to work to rally his demoralized forces, and sent word to tlie interior by a courier for reinforcements. After the landing of the marines there were no more hostilities, though the In­ dians were still in possession of the III tiffs. It was reported that the Indians in tlie interior were preparing to move on Blue- fields in large numliers to annihilate the Nicaraguans, and though they have not yet materialized, there is a vast amount of uneasineas there. This attack has resulted in increased tension Iietween the American residents and tlie Nicaraguans, and it is said that tlie Nicaraguans have warned several Americans to leave under penalty of death, hut so far these threats have not iieen put into execution.
