A MATCHLESS IMPOSTEH.
Within the writer's recollection there
stood in the Overgate, Dundee, Scot
land, an old dwelling of curious archi
tecture. It was several htories in height,
and at one corner was a round tower
containing a staircase. In the middle
of the hist century this was the residence
of the Hauck family. Henry Hauck was
n, Hollander, who settled in Dundee
about the year 1700, and introduced a
hew method of manufacturing sail-cloth.
He grew wealthy and acquired much
property. In 1 31 he died, and was suc
ceeded by an only eon. This son re
moved to the dwelling already men
tioned, and was equally prosperous as
his fatlier. He died in 1750, and left a
son and daughter.
The latter died, but the son continued
in the same place and business, and,
dying in 1781, left his property to his
two sons, John and Henry, who were
twins, and at the time of his death in
their twenty-second year. While Henry,
however, received the bulk of the estate
and the business, John was to receive
only a certain sum in money, for John
was dissipated and of depraved habits,
and it was said that his mother died
from the effects of a beating which ho
fave her, because she expostulated with
im on his conduct. Bo this as it may,
soon after his father's death his brother
gave him the large sum of money which
hjs father had bequeathed to him, and
he went to Holland ostensibly to act as
paid agent for the firm.
For some time he appears to have con
ducted himself with unusual propriety,
and was so successful in business mat
ters that his brother came to place great
confidence in him. In 1784 he wrote to
his brother Henry, informing him that
he had it in his power to make large
purchases of flax aud hemp on most ad
vantageous terms, but that to do this he
must have funds at Ms disposal. Henry
at once prodded for this, and John drew
large sums on letters of credit. Then he
disappeared, and nothing was heard, of
him for years. Henry married a Miss
Newall, and, having built a handsome
residence up town near what is known as
the Perth Road, removed there. The
name had come to be spelt Hawk, and
the spot where the new residence was
built was named Hawkhill, by which
name it is known to this day.
"Henry Hawk took his wife's brother
into partnership. After the. new part
ner nad become sufficiently familiar
with the business, Henry resolved to vis
it Antwerp and other modern ports, and
put his business relations on a better
footing. There were no steamships in
those days, and he had to cross the Gcr
mas Ocean in a smack, which ran as a
regular packet. He had delayed his go
ing on account of the health of his wife.
and did not start until June 19, 1785, six
weeks after the birth of their first child
a son who was born on May 3, of the
same year.
On the evening of the day on which
Henry Hawk sailed one of tho domes
tics rushed into the house from the gar
den, where she had been spreading
clothes to bleach, and exclaimed:
" Goodsakes, guide us! I've just seen
my master looking in at the gate!"
Say not a word," one of the older
servants said, or it will alarm your
mistress, for she will think it is" his
wraith and that something has happened
to him."
But Mrs. Hawk had heard the excla
mation as she was coming down the
stairs, and entering the kitchen she in
quired what it meant.
"I was stooping to lay out the
clothes," the girl said, " and happening
to look tip, I sawv the figure of a man
at the greatgate. I was startled bat
looked again, and then I saw my mas
ter's face distinctly, all pale and hag
gard." - "T
Mrs. Hawk restrained her feelings
and said r
It's you fancy, girl; "what else can
it be? Your master is Jbcyond the Bass

Three weeks later a Mr. Dcwar, "who
had a sail-loft on the Leagate, called at
the office of Hawk & Newall.
." Where's Mr. Hawk?" he asked.
"Why, he's been gone since last
Jane," answered Mr. Newall.,
" Gone since last June!" Mr. Dewar
exclaimed-? gffne where?"
"To Antwerp," was the reply.

That Is strange," said Mr. Dcwar,
taking put a pocket-book and turning
the leaves.
"What is there strange about it?"
Mr. Newall said.
" Why, on July 2d 1 got a note from
Henry by a messenger, asking me to
.send him 120 to use on an emergency,
and I sent it to him."
Mr. Newall stared at his visitor m
wonder. butMr. Dcwar not only showed
him the cntrv in his joctoet-book, but
produced tlfc letter, which, so far as
any one could say, was in Henry Hawk's
handwriting,

mystery,
imt. lmtii rrot.i that for the
that for the
nrosf.nL nnrl in fart until Henn-'B re-
turn, nothing had better be taiif about
the remarkable circumstance.
On August 12 the packet returned
from Antwerp without Hcnrv JiawK.
She brought a bundle of letters, howev
er, for Mr. Newall, which were duly
delivered at the office. Two, af-
dresscd to Mrs. Hawk, In her husband's
writing, were given to a bov, who start-
cd up the Overgate with them, toward
Hawkhill.
At that time there were few dwellings
on the Overrate
ibove Fay Street, all
liDvnnd l.mno- nnn imntr- with tht'
a few resitfences here
and 'there. As the boy passed Tallv
Street, a biir. burlv man, drco&ed a u
sailor, came out of a dram-shop, and,
crossing the street, walked up Over
gate on the opposite side to the boy.
The walked almost abreast until
they were a couple of hundred yards
beyond Fay Street. Then the man
paused, and the boy observed that he
felt into his pockets. The boy was
passing on ahead, when the man called
out to him :
"Sa-, youngster, pull up; I've lost
something."
The boy stopped and turned, and the
man crossed the road toward him.
"Look here," said the man, "you
know Wilson's dramshop by Tally
Street?"
" Yes, sir, I do," the lad replied,
"Well," said the man, "I've left my
pocket-book therewith a valuable letter
inside, which I was taking to Mrs. Hawk
of Hawkhill from her husband, and
which he gave me just before the packet
sailed from Antwerp."
"Wh', I'm just going up to Mrs.
Hawk's with two letters myself," the
boy said.
" Well, that's strange," the man said.
"Now look here; give me those two let
ters, and you run back to Wilson's and
get in' pocket-book. I'll stay here till
you come back, and then we will walk
up together, and I'll give you something
for your trouble to boot."
The boy unsuspectingly gave the man
the letters, and started down Overgate
on a run. On reaching Wilson's he
found that the man had left no pocketr
book there, then he returned in haste to
where he had left the sailor. He found
him there, and the man said, on hearing
that no pocket-book could be found :
" Well, that's too bad. But see, I'll
walk up with you and deliver these let
ters, and explain about the one Mr.
Hawk sent by me. I'll find it by and
by."
"The boy agreed, and on reaching
Hawkhill the man suggested that the
boy should remain outside while he de
livered the letters. The boy agreed, and
the man went to the rear entrance of the
dwelling. After the absence of two or
three minutes he returned, and the two
walked down the Bowgate in company.
When thej reached Tally Street the man
gave the boy a few pence and turned
down toward the Ncetcrgate.
Mrs. Hawk expected her husband by
the next packet which would arrive in
Dundee about the second week in Oc
tober. If the packet arrived after dusk,
it was customary for her passengers to
remain aboard until daylight, and then
land at what was known as the Yeoman
shore. The packet dropped anchor in
the Tay at 7 o'clock on the evening of
October 15, and her passengers were
therefore not expected to land until
early next day. Mr. Newall was there
when they were put ashore next morn
ing, but Mr. Hawk was not among them.
Mr. Newall expressed surprise, and in
quired whether Mr. Hawk was a passen
ger. "Mr. Hawk was a passenger," the
Captain said ; " but a man came off for
him in a boat last night, and he went
ashore."
While he was speaking, a messenger
came from the oflice to tell Mr. Newall
that Mr. Hawk was there. Greatly re
lieved, Mr. Newall hastened to the office,
and found Mr. Hawk at his desk, exam
ining papers. There-was a-warm greet
ing, and Mr. Newall said:
"Why, Henry, how strong you have
grown."
"Yes," was the reply, " my own wife,
hardly knew me when I reached homo
last night."
" But how came you to land last night ?
Wasn't it a great risk with such a high
wind?" Mr. Newall said.
"Well," was the answer, "a man came
off in a boat for some purpose or an
other, and I took the chance of getting
ashore."
Mr. Hawk spent much time for the
few first days in looking over his pa
pers, and then said he thought ho would
take things easy for a time, as he had
been rather overworked for some months
past. Mr. Newall gladly acquiesced,
and thenceforth took almost entire man
agement of the business. Mr. Hawk,
however, seemed to take great interest
in all that went on, but complained that
his eyesight was getting bad, and he
must wear glasses. He began to take
long walks, and was in the habit of go
ing daily among the shipping.
On November 6th, lie returned from
one of these strolls to the oflice in a state
of great distress.
" Mr. Newall" he said, " my brother
my poor, unfortunate brother John
he is drowned. His body was found on
the shore near Broughly Ferry, this
morning. I saw them bring it up on
a boat, and I identified it at once.."
Mr. Newall was astounded. After a
moment's silence, he said :
" That accounts for it. He has been
around here, then, for months, and we
never knew it."
Then he related what the girl had
seen at the gate the very night on which
Mr. Hawk sailed for Antwerp.
That is it," said Henry. "He went
to my house in poverty and distress,
and dared not enter. Poor fellow! He
was so like me we were twins, you
know and the girl might easily have
mistaken him for me. I wonder my wife
never mentioned the occurrence."
"And that accounts for another
thing," said Mr. Newall, and then he
explained to Henry all about the loan
iromMr. Dewar.
"That is it, no doubt," said Henry;
" he wrote just like me, and driven to
desperation, forged my name to get
money to live on. I am glad he did it.
See that the money is repaid."
After a pause, during which Henry
seemed to be much affected, he said:
. "Newall, I've made all arrangements
for the poor fellow's burial. By the
way, he must have been killed in a
brawl, for there. U a wound, as of a
knife, right in the region Of the heart.
I will use my influence to keep filings as
quiet as possible."
There was a -Coroner's inquest, and a
verdict that the deceased came to 'his
death at the hands of some person or
persons unknown." ' Tfcea. the body was
quietly buried -ia. the .yard of the Old
Cross Kirk, and the matter was soon

a very solemn one, and for years after

Worn down and ruined, he returned

the money from Dewar. When he
found that Henry was out of the
country, he set hit wits to work to dis
cover how he could profit by it. The
resemblance between the twin brothers
had always been remarkable. In
fact, when they were boys Henry
always wore a red riblxm in his button
hole to distinguish him from John.
Little by little a diabolical plot de
veloped itself in John's mind. An
ticipating that Henry would write to
his wife by the return packet,
John planned the intercepting of the
letter.
While the boy who bore the package
of letters to Mrs. Hawk was away for
the supposed pocketbooK, John opened
one of the letters, and, by its perusal,
found that his brother was to return by
the next packet in October. He in
duced the boy to allow him to deliver
the letters so that he might explain that
Mr. Newall had opened the letter by
mistake. For a time he was in great
suspense, as the carrying out of his
plans required that the packet should
arrive after dark.

would exactly suit his purpose, he made
his arrangements. Disguising liitiielf
and procuring a boat, he boarded the
packet on her arrival in the Tay, and
induced Henry Hawk to go ashore.
Midway between the vessel and the
land, he drove a knife m his brother's
heart. Then he carefully stripped the
body and flung it overboard. Securing
the money and valuables in the clothes,
he tore them in strips and cast them on
the waters. Landing at a secure spot,
with his brother's portmanteau in his
possession, he went to a sailor's boarding-house
and dressed himself in the
dead man's clothes. Then, with a bold
ness and wickedness unparalleled, he
went to his dead brother's home and re
ceived a kiss of welcome from the wom
an whose husband ho had slain.
On trial witnesses were produced who
stood by the dying bed of the murder
ous wretch and heard his confession of
his crime. These consisted of Dr.
Nimmo, a prominent physician, Mr.
Sims, a distinguished surgeon, Dr.
Carruthers, a Presbyterian clergyman,
and Ann Mackay, a nurse. The con
fession had been reduced to writing by
a lawyer and duly signed and witnessed.
The court adjudged James Hawk to
be illegitimate, but entitled to succeed
to his mother's estate, which was con
siderable. Calling (he Doctor.
The other morning, as a belated
member of the Owl Club was steering
home through the dense fog, which the
writer is reliably informed hangs over
this city at .5 a. m., he passed a house
on Mission Street, where resided a well
known physician. The vestibule of this
residence was open, and on its side the
dim rays of the moon, struggling
through the gloom prodjiecd by the
efforts of the City Gas Company, dis
closed the mouth of an acoustic tube,
underneath which was the inscription,
" Whistle for Dr. Potts."
Not wishing to 'be disobliging about
so small a matter, the Owl stumbled up
the steps, and, steadying himself against
the wall, blew into the pipe with sul the
strength of his luiigs.
The physician, who was awakened by
the resultant shrill whistle near his
head, arose, and, after wondering at the
singular odor of whisky in the room,
groped his way to the tube and shouted,
"Well?"
" Glad to know you're well," was the
reply, " but being a doctor, I s'pose you
can keep well at cost price, can't you?"
" What do you wantP" said the man
of pills, not caring to joke in the airy
nothing of his nightgown.
" Well," said the party at the other
end of the tube, after a few moments'
meditatation, "Oh! by the way, are
you voting Potts, or old Potts?"
" i amDr.Totts there is no young
Potts."
"Not dead, I hope?"
"There never was any: I have no
son."
" Then you are young Potts and old
Potts, too. Dear.'dear, how singular."
" What the do you want?" snap
ped the Doctor, who was beginning to
feel as if his legs were a pair of elon
gated icicles. S
" You know old Mrs. Peavine, who
lives in the next block?"
"Yes. Is she sick? What's the mat
ter?" " Do you know her nephew, too Bill
Briggs?"
"Yes. Well?"
"Well, he went up to Bridgeport

" And he had an accident. Hold up
a minute. I'll be right down."
" No, he's all right; but he got sixty
two ducks eighteen of 'em mallards.
I thought you might like to.hear it."
And the joker hung on to the nozzle,
and laughed like a hyena digging up a
missionary.
" I say,"" came down from the exas
perated'M. D., " that's a jolly joke, my
friend. Won't you take something?"
"What?" said the surprised humor
ist, pausing for breath.
"Why, take something. Take this."
And before the disgusted funny man
could withdraw his mouth, a hastily
compounded mixture of ink, ipecac and
assafetida squirted from the pipe and
deluged him from head to foot, about a
pint monopolizing his shirt front and
collar,'"
And while he danced " frantically
around, sponging himself off with his
handkerchief, and swearing like a pirate
in the last act, he could hear an angel
voice from above sweetly murmur:
"Have some more? No? Well,
good might. . Come again soon, you

detection of any imposture. Of media: val
cases Dr. Hammond cites several. There
was Liduiue of Schiedam, who fell ill in
loUo and remained an invalid till her
death, XI years later, and who, after liv-
ng for 1W years on a piece of apple no
1 bigger than a holy wafer, ever)- day,
' washed down with a little water, a
swaiiow oi oeer or a mue sweet run
wound up finally by taking nothing
whatever in tho shajc of nutriment for
14 years. I here was bt. .Joseph oi Lo-
( pertino, who kept seven 40-day fasts ev
erv vear, dunnir wnicn seasons he ate
only on Thursdays and Sundays, hi
food even then being bitter herb ami
dried fruits. There was St. Nicola.? of
Flue (notto be confounded withSt.Nich
olas of the New York chimney) who, as
he had embraced the monastic" life, aban
doned all food whatever save the Holy
Eucharist, which, according to the pious
Gorrcs, so assimilated hi- grosser being j
to itself that, introduced into a superior
sphere, he lived exclusively by grace
and by heaven. There was the" nun of
Lciceter, in the thirteenth century.who
also lived on the Eucharist for "seven
years; and there were those other holy
persons Saint Peter of AIcantara,Sain't
Koe of Lima, Saint Catharine of Sienna,
and Saint Collete who alo acquired
the power of living on the sacramental
bread. Fasting girls, says Dr. Ham
mond, came in with modern times, the
pious abstinent having vanished with
the Ages of Faith. Margaret Weiss, a
girl of ten, living near Spires, was ac
credited with living for three years
without food or dritiK. She .succeeded
in deceiving the parish priest and Dr.
Geraldus Huccoldinus, who watched her,
and the good doctor made a conun
drum out of her in his book narrating
her case: "Why docs the body grow
when nothing goes into it?" " Appo
tonia Schreira, a virgin in Heme," after
lioinr
examined and watched by the
Hernese
magistrates, was declared to
live without eating: "in the first year
of her fasting she scarcely slept, and in
the second ear never once clo.-ed her
eyes in sleep." Katherine Binder of
the Palatinate was said to have taken
nothing
but air during nine years,
and Eva Fliegen, of Meurs, according
to the magit rates and ministers, " took
no kind of sustenance for the space of
fourteen years together." Cardinal
lliehelieu's physician, Franciscus Cite
sius, tells of Joan ISalaam of Constance,
who after an attack of fever took a
loathing to food, and for nearly three
years abstained from it altogether, her
appetite subsequent.' returning. In
l.VJo there was brought to Cologne a
girl of 11 who, it was nflirmed. had
lived without food or drink of any kind
for three years. In this case, accord
ing to Dr. Hammond, orgamc disease
seems to have been complicated with
fraud and hysteria. Perhaps we neetl
not cite the works of John Ilcydon, an
euthu.siast of the Komu Cross, who held
that men could easily fast all their lives,
should the same even extend i00 years,
and who fairly smacks his lips as it
were, like a very glutton, over " the fine
foreign fatness" in the air which ought
to be sufficient for all moderate folk.
He admits that people of enormous ap
petites might from time to time indulge
in the additional stimulus of a plaster of
cooked meat applied to the cpigastrum.
Chambers, however, prints a great
many cases of alleged abstinence ex
tending over protracted periods. Among
these may be mentioned that of Cecilia
Rygeway, whom Edward III. pardoned
April 25, i;in7, "moved by piety and
for the glory of God and the Blessed
Virgin," who had wrought a miracle in
enabling her to live forty days in Not
tingham Jail without food or drink,
when accused of her husband's mur
der, and of John Scott, the Faster, a
man of Tcviotdale, who in 1531 took
sanctuary in the Abbey of Holyrood
House, where he remained thirty or
forty days without food, and then by or
der df the King was shut up in the
castle for .12 days, at the end of which
period tne bread and water left in the
cell with him wero found to be un
touched. Scott afterwards went to
Rome, where Clement VII. certified to
the honesty of his abstinence, an exhib
ition of which ho gave also at Venice ;
after his return, as he claimed, from the
Holy Land, Seott went to London,
where, for preaching against Henry
VTII.'s defection from the Church, and
his divorce from Katharine of Arragon,
he was cast into a prison, where he re
mained for 50 days, little disconcerted
and still fasting. Albcrgati of Bonoma
investigated Scott's case at his own
house, and September 1, 15U2, after a
trial of 11 days, attested his belief that
the maft lived without eating. The
case of Marv Waughton of Wigginton,

of England," says the orthodox Dr.
Robert Plot, "she is the less likely to
put a trick upon the. world." Then

from November, 1751, to May,
1755, lived upon water, afterwards
displaying her normal appetite;
of Ann Walsh of Harrowgate, a girl of
12, who for 18 months, beginning in
1762, subsist etl solely on a daily allow
ance of a third of a pint of wine and
water; of the sick boy at Chatcauroux,
in France, who ate nothing for a whole
year, yet had strength enough to labor
with the men on his father's farm ; of
the man of Stamford, who, in 1771, for
a 10 wager abstained for 52 days from
solid food or milk ; of Pennant's" fasting
woman of Rosshire, Katherine McLeod
in Piatt's book she is called "Janet"
who, after an attack of fever, lived for
21 months without nourishment, a suf
focating constriction compelling her
parents to desist when they tried to pry
c-pen her teeth, depress her tongue and
poor a little gruel down her throat.
Subsequently she took to drinking wa
ter and after nine years of abstinence
she ate a little. Dr, Mackenzie, who
communicated this account of her case
to the Royal Society (Phil. Trans, lxvii.,
1), saw her again three years after this,
when her diet was much more liberal,
but even then she ate less than a child
of two years old would have demanded.
The Gentleman's Magazine for 1789
records the case of the enthusiast, Caleb
Elliott, who set out to fast 40 days and
actually survived for 16 without food of
any kind. In 1774 was mentioned a case
of "a Suabian woman of 87, Monica
Matcheteria, who, after a fever and
nervous attack-, lived for two years on a
little curds, or whey and water, and for

In 1786 Dr. Willan was called, in to at

17 days longer, the physician being able
to force a little sustenance into him. A

Morrow's Chase After Victoria.
The Chicago TYimm gives the following
synopsis of the report of Maj. Morrow,
giving a detailed account of the opera
tions of his command against Victoria's
band of Indians, covering a period of
several months, and a pursuit extending
from tort llayard to tho mountainous f
region of Old'Mexico, which has been ,
received at Sheridan's Headquarters. ,
Tho command consisted of 81 enlisted)
men and 18 Indian scouts. The Major i
describes how his command camo verv

Indians: The camp was sighted at noon

to strike the camp simultaneously on
both sides. The movement, the report
states, was satisfactoriv executed: but
the command discoverctt that the camp l
had been abandoned by the hostiles (
three days before. A couple of days
later another abandoned camp was taken. I
It was situated on a high mountain, j
The Major says his command was over i
aft hour ascending to the camp, which,
had it been defended at all, mut have s
proved impregnable. On another occa-1
sum a detatchment, commanded by i
Lieut. Illacksom, moved out on foot at 1
oclock at night, with the intention of I
attacking an Indian camp at daybreak.
When dawn came the discovery dawned
upon them that the hostiles had tiuietly
departed, under cover of the darkness.
In the hurry and confusion of their
Might they had abandoned some J50or40
stolen animals. Later in tlfb campaign
the Indian scouts were dispatched to

the lighting
continued
until 1U o'clock at night, when the
troops were ortlered into camp. Tho
Major states that none of his command
were hurt, but that three Indians were
killed, and 15 saddle-horses and a'lot of J
loose stock were abandoned by Victoria
The next morning, while the troops
were eating breakfast, they were fired up
on by the hostiles. A videttc on guard on
a neighboring bluff was killed. The
troops charged the hills.and dislodged the
Indians. Then ensued a running fight,
which was kept up until 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. The report doesn't state
whether any, body was killed or not.
The next day'the scouts-captured a squaw
and her papoose. She told them that
she had taken refuge in the mountains
during the fight of the day before, and
had lost her way. The commander re
ceived information that Victoria was
carrying a number of wounded Indians,
among them being his son Washington.
A scout come in and reported Victoria's
camp four miles distant. Thecommand
was separated and the detachments sur
rounded the camp. The attack was to
be made at daybreak. The report states
that the fires were burning brightly and
the "scurbby pines were festooned with
fresh beef." At tlaybreak the discovery

of as heading for the Mongallen Moun
tains. As the command was approach
ing the Corribitas River many of the
mules fell down from thirst. " In the
edge of the Mongallen Mountains the
Indians were discovered ambushed in a
canyon, awaiting the troops. The hos
tiles, after a little brush, were dislodged.

L'p to this tho men had not interfere!
beyond crowding round, and no missiles

but now sticks and stones wens
freely used, and a terrible mcUe
ensued. The police lecauie much ex

some shots over the heads of their as

Reinforcements had been telegraphed
for to all the most peaceable districts of
Ireland, and drafts of constables wero
forwarded to ( Sal way from such remote
points as Fermanagh in the north wprt
anil Kilkenny in tho southeast. As fast
as they arrived in the town of (lalway
they were sent on to C'onnemara, ami.
has been stated, last night over three
hundred constables were quartered in
and around the village of Carrraoo.
Considerable difficulty is likely to be
experienced in attempting to provision
the little army of 'occupation. The
people will sell them nothing. On
Sunday two cart-loads of bread antl
meat were dispatched fromGalway. Hut
the people on the road stopped them
and carried away the contents. On Mon
day a cart-load of bread was sent for-
wnnl under nn escort of 20 men antl
reached its destination in safety to the
JV of the half-famuhud constablf, who

cle to be had in atmndunco is whiky.
Although this disturbance at Carraroo
has been the most formidable thing
which has vet happened in the way of
resistance to law it is right to mention
that it is by no means an isolated occur
rence. A fortnight ago somo ejectment
writs were being served by a man named
Tully on some tenants of Mr. Francis
Comyn, a small land owner in this part
of Connenara. Mr. Comyn hail made
himself conspciuous lat October by
some letters in the London Time, in
which he denounced in strong terms the
whole lody of Connanght tenantry.
When Tully attempted to serve the
writs the people gathered around ami
compelled him to tear them up himelf.
They did not otherwise ill-treat him.
Ten men who were conspicuous in the
transactions have since surrendered antl
are to be tried at the next sessions,
yesterday Mr. Hill, one of the paid
magistrates of Galway County, accom
panied a force of 50 constables, who
were engaged in protecting Tully.
while serving writs of ejectment upon
tenants of a Mr. Isidore Lynch, who is
a very small proprietor (the annual
valuation is returned at 170 or $850),
near Spiddal, on the borders of C'onne
mara. The people made no resistance.
On Saturday a process server, named
Magrath, while engaged in serving
ejectments on the property of Mr. Vescy
Stoney, a considerable landowner, near
Hallinrohe, Mavo County, was savagely
attacked by a mob of men and women.
His papers were taken from him, and he
was so badly beaten that his life was in
danger. Again, yesterday, a man
named Langlcy attempted to serve
processes for the recovery of rent from
the tenants of two town lands, near
Balls, also in Mayo County. Thews
tenants had refused to pay any thing
unless the rents were reduced. Langley

Any tar on paper is a tax on public
intelligence. The book, the magazine,
the pamphlet, and the newspaper aro
essentials to the American jwoplo.
They aro the disseminators of knowl
edge; they are the great American
teachers; they enter every household,
they carry information where It could
not otherwNo go; ami they cultivate
ami maintain that nubile sentiment
upon which public ami private morality
depend. The magnitude of this tax on
tinner can n estimated t.artlallv bv
considering the many millions of publf
cations iasucd dally ami weekly, and
reaching every household, showing the
enormous consumption of paper in thl
country.
Now, tho duty of Congress in this
matter is a plain one. American man
ufacturers of paper, and of glaa. cot
ton, and linen goods, should be relieved
of everv tax on each and every thing en
tering into their production. All raw
materials, all chemicals, all dyestuffs.
nnd all bleacbing-powdcr of every de
scription and quality should be admit
ted free of duty, and thco manufactur
ers placed on" the same footing In this
respect with their foreign competitors.
The manufacture of paper in thi coun
try should be relieved of this tax in an
especial manner, because a tax upon
paper is a repressive tax that rcachea
every man, woman, and child is the
country that can read and write. At
the same time, the duty on all paper,
especially that ued for book and news
paper, should be reduced one-half
that i, to 10 percent. If the statement
ot the manufacturers as to the heavy ad
dition made to the cost of printing-paper
because of this tax on chemicals be
true, then a repeal of thU oppressive
tax will far more than compensate them
for the reduction of the duty on import
ed printing-paper. There ha bees no
f.rint-paper imported for two years ; no
o reign paper can be imported that can
compete with domestic paper protected
by a duty of 30 per cent, mad ether
charges, and the cost of ocean aad in
ternal transportation.
The taxes on the bleaching aad other
chemicals used is atakiag the paper, it
has been always claimed, to increased
the cost of making paper ia this coun
try that nothing leas than a duty of 20
per cent, womhi protect it from foreign
competition. Congress, therefore, will
see that by repealing this oseroas tax
on bleachers the duty oa piper may be
repealed or at least reduced to 10 -per
cent, to the great advantage of the
American maaafactarers as well as of
every newspaper aad every book and
magazine publisher Im this coaatrr.
