It is more than likely that Mr. Blaine will have something to say about the seizure of the the land at the mouth of the Orinoco, by - British men-of-war. There has been a dispute as to the owner ship of this for several years, and climax has now been reached by tl hoisting of the British flag. The appointment of Geo. C. Tichenor as assistant secretary of the treasury is first-class one in everv respect He has Lad a long and useful experience as treasury official, and is conceded to b one of the best posted men in the country upon questions affecting the collection of the revenue. He was, also, s gallant sol dier in the Union army. Globe Demo crat. IS THE EXCISE TAJT DEMO CRATIC. It is not and can never be made i democratic doctrine to exempt cigars cigarettes and cheroots from taxation while taxing clothing, suar. lumber. salt, crockery and slas. iron and tin it more than the war-time rat:s. New York World. I his is a short paragraph, but it is long enough to contain two misstate ments. It is now, and always has been ound democratic doctrine to abolish ex cise taxes as soon as the necessity fo their existance has ceased. Excise taxes were always the most odious of leyiep. They would have been abolished long ago had not the free traders hoped tin: t the people would at last consent to pat t with a portion of the protective tariff in order to bs rid of the odious excise taxer. Their policy has been to hold the inti'r nal revenue at its present point would accept free wool, free tin. free lumber, free salt and free chemicals in order te bo rid of the domestic tax. That this i not good democracy or good statesman ship was demonstrated at the polls last November. The second statement, thi:t clothing, sugar, lumber, salt, crockery, glass, iron and tin arc taxed at more than war-time rates, is as untrue as the first. Since the close of the war the protection ists have passed four tariff acts, each re ducing the revenue, as follows: Act of July 14, 1870: Free list $2,403,000 Reduction from dutiable list..23,31,74S Total $2t,054,74 Act of May 1. 1872: fea and coffee put on free list, making a rednction of.f 15,893,847 Act of June 6, 1872: Free list 3,345,724 Reduction in dutiable list ...19,489,800 Total $15,278,015 Act of March 3, 1883: Freo list $l,365,9l0 Reduction on dutiable list 19,489,000 Total $20,855,799 Making a total reduction in revenne from tariff duties of . $77,0S3,309 During the same time the protectionists have passed six bills reducing the inter nal revenue $284,421,200. It is there fore untrue, even from a free trader's point of view, that any taxes now levied are "more than war-time rates." Ameri can Economist Don't Read This for $500. For many years, through nearly every newspaper in the land, the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who are thoroughly responsible, financially, as any one can easily ascertain by proper enquiry, have offered in good faith, a standing reward of $500 for a case of .nasal catarrh, no mitter how bad, or of how long standing, which they rannot cure.

Dcns, City 3IarohaL Slonauterles) tuid Mental PIimim, Tho monasteries were frequent eout-cos of thai form of mental disease which was supposed to bo caused by bewitchment, "from the. earliest period it Ls evident .that monastic life tended to develop insanity. Such eases us those of tit. Anthony and Ht. Augustine aro typical of its effects upon tho strongest minds: but it was especially tho convents for women that lecamo tho great breeding beds of tins disease. Among the large num !cr.i of women and giria thus asscm bled, many of them forced into con finement agninsl their will, for the reason that their families could give Ihern no tlower, subjected to the un satisfied longings, suspicions, bicker ings. iettv "jealousies, envies and hatreds, so notorious in convent life, mental disease was not unlikely to bo develoncti at anv moment, llvsterical excitement in nunneries took shapes sometimes comical, but more erener ally tragical. Noteworthy it is that tho last places where executions for witchcraft took place were mainly in the neighborhood of great nunneries, and tho last famous victim of the hundreds of thousands executed in Herman v for this imaginary crime was sister Anna Keuata Sanjrer. sub- prioress of a nunnery near Wurzburg. lhe same thimr was seen among young women exposed to sundry fa natical Trotestant preachers; insanity, both temporary and wi-mauent, was thus frequently developed among the Huguenots of t ranee, ana lias been thus produced in America, from the davs of the Salem persecution down to tho "camp meetings" of tho present time. Andrew D. White in Popular Science- .Monthly. Douville, the fraud. One of tho most ingenious frauds who ever imposed upon geographers was t!io Frenchman, Douville, who lived in tho early part of this century, He told the most fabulous stories of his African travels, and. as late as 1850 there were some geographers who still believed Douville was a remark able traveler. Ho lived at a time when the entire interior of tropical Africa was a white space on the maps. This great blank ho undertook to fill. Though ho was never more than twenty or thirty miles inland in his life, ho claimed to have penetrated Central Africa, and to have visited tho chief town of tho fac famed Munta Yamvo. All ho required for tho work was a few interviews with native ivory deal era who came from tho interior to sell their goods. They gave him a good deal of misinformation, which, with tho aid of a brilliant imagination, ho expanded into a long story of travel, lie caught hardly a glimpse of tho truth with regard to tho many countries he pretended to have visited, and lis described scores of towns and states that had no existence. Ho be trayed his true character in & most ludicrous manner. Ho had tho auda city to invent a vocabulary for one of his tribes, in which ho roado all the words end in tho letters x or z. t5ome students of African languages dissect ed this vocabulary and promptly pro nounced Douville a first class fraud. This shallow uecc-iyer long enjoj-ed great credit ns a traveler j but lie lived Ton;? enough to see his pretensions pretty thoroughly exploded. C. C. Adaiiis in Pittsburg Bulletin.
