AMMUUOUs' SENTENCES.
It it said that when Jacob Boehme the
famous philosopher, was on his death bed
some of his pupils came to him to have an
obscure passage In his writings explained
before he died. After puzzling over it
awhile he said : "My dear children, when
I wrote this I understood Its meaning, and
no doubt theomnlscientGoddld. He may
still remember It, but 1 have forgotten."
Klopstock, the German poet, was once
visited by seme students from Gottlngen
to have the meaning of one of his stanzas
explained. After reading the stanza, he
replied : "I cannot recollect what I mean'
when I wrote il.but I remember that It was
the finest thing I ever wrote and you can
not do better than to devote your lives to
the discovery of its meaning."
A comical sentence appeared In the pro
gram of a concert given by M. Gounod, of
London. The eight song was printed," 'She
wandered down the mountain side,' accom
panied by the composer."
A ladv in advertising herself as a teacher
referred to the "reputation M teaching sh
bears,"
Instances of-'neglecting the antecedent'
are amusing. In an old geography we are
told that Albany is a "town of three hun
dred houses and twelve hundred Inhibi
tants, all with their gable ends toward the
street."
A furrier once announced that he was
prepared to "make up capes, circulars, etc.
for ladies out of their own skins."
A match vendor of London used the
following street cry : "Buy a pennyworth
of matches from a poor old man, made of
foreign wood."
Soire years ago a member of the noted
Savage club of London was standing on
the steps ot the club-house. A man stop
ped and asked : "Does a gentleman belong
to your club with one eye named Y alker ?
"I don't know," was the replv. "What was
the name of the other eye ?"
The father did not speak with clearness
when he exhibited a fiddle made by his som
and said : "He made it out of his head nnd
has wood enough left to make another one.'
We occasionally read in the papers about
"terra cotta ladies' gloves," "woolen child-
rens muts, octagonal mens cassiraere
pantaloons," etc. Or that "a snake was
killed by a boy twelve feet long," or that a
thrifty housewife "washes and irons her
self every week," or that a man wants
boy to drive a horse who lives with hit
parents."
The power of cola to diminish pain hat
long been known to country people ; but
its value as an aenxsthetic is only lately be
coming appreciated by the medical faculty
Every far.ner who has worked at butcher
ing hogs or other animals out of doors in
cold weather knows that a cuton his own
person will often be unnoticed for tome
time, or until the flow of blood calls atten
tion to it. There wil! be no pain.and if the
blood be pure a wound thus made will heal
very quickly. But woe to the unlucky
man it the blood of the animal he is klilin
it in any way diseased. Cutting himself
wnue dressing it Introduces the poison In
to nis own system, and death is often the
penalty fr carelessness.
Senator Vance gave Senator Sherman a
bright retort Tuesday, when he assured
tne Ohio statesman that the Southern
planters had no desire to abandon cotton.at
a profit of fifty dollars an acre, without pro
tection, and go into the business of grow
ing ramie, which could be cultivated in
India by laborers working for eight cents
a day. lhere is common sense argument
in that reply, and calling It free trade talk
does not take away the force of it.
Now Mr. Blaine is accused of having a
literary bureau, which is busy supplying
fancies about the Cabinet. The people are
quite capable of a fine variety of fancies on
that subject, without help from a bureau.

LITTLE TIN CODS.
The New York World says a despatch from
Washington by way of Pittsburg brings the in
formation that the Republican of the Senate
have agreed to lay a duty of two or two and a
half cents per pound upon tin plate.
As no tin plate is manufactured in this coun
try the imposition of a duly upon it U not for
the purpose of "protecting aa infant industry.'
It is an indignant Republican Congressman re
marked when the plan was proosed some time
ago, "a project to create an infant to protect.
by taxing everybody who uses tin plate." This
is Protectionism run wild.
T , ; . .
i cuusivania iron-maxer says that if a
tariff of two centra pound on tin plate can be
"guaranteed" he can start a company "with a
capital of $I,ooo,000'to manufacture it, inside
of ninety days." No doubt if a company could
be chartered by the Government to tax every
canning establishment, every foot of tin roofing
every teapot and dinner-pail in the country the
capital would be forthcoming. .
But what would be the result? Dearer tin
and a half dozen or more new millionaires to
contribute a barrell of money to campaigns of
boodle under the "fat-fry-ing" process and to
buy seats for themselves or their agents in the
benate of the United States.
Does the country want tosetupafew "Little
1 in Oods on Wheels" at suah a price and for
such ends?

The county court of Lane county has sold its
poor farm. Reason: They have kept county
paupers for a number of years and now find
that h costs the county much more than in
the old contract way. This ought to open the
eyes of Linn county people who have thought
a poor farm would be the cheapest way of
providing for thepoor. It is not the best nor
the cheapest way as the Democrat has all
along maintained.
