Jmmomis department. Not For Mr. Williams. John Sharp Williams, Democratic leader of the house of representatives, I who has been mentioned as a presidential possibility, has given up all thought of the presidency. This interview in the New York Telegraph t explains his action: "Why," replied Mr. Williams, "the f correspondent of a western paper ask- ] 'ed me that question yesterday, 'Are ] you a candidate for the presidency, < Mr. Williams?' asked he. I "Well, I looked the young man over and I saw he was In earnest. " 'I was,' I told him. 'At least I saw a good deal about it in the papers. Then I commenced to hear from my constituents. The municipal council at Yazoo passed resolutions to the effect that the municipality preferred that I should remain in my present proud position in the legislative branch, and not aspire to executive honors.' " 'Then I heard from the intelligent voters of Shubuta. Then Narkeeta spoke; then Stein's Siding. They were all vehemently against my running for president.' " 'Then you are not a candidate?' put in the correspondent. " 'Oh, I think I could fix those fellows down in Mississippi all right.' "'Then you are not a candidate?' " 'No. Fact is, about that time Mrs. Williams came up to Washington city, and I took her for a drive. We were passing the White House when she turned to me and said: "What's this I hear about you running for president, Mr. Williams?" ' " 'Oh, nothing much,' says I. " 'Well,' says Mrs. Williams, 'I don't want to hear any more about it. You know perfectly well, John, that with my sick headaches I couldn't possiDiy ( live In that big white house over yon- , der. I must have the Yazoo air.' " 'So,' I say to the correspondent, 'I guess I'll have to give up the pres- , ldency.'" , His Veracity Was Admirable. 1 Once a number of kindred spirits were | enjoying a supper in the land of Burns, | says Tit Bits. When the cloth was re- , moved and the usual toasts proposed, some one suggested a song. The efforls of the first Scotchman met with such a hearty reception, that others were induced to follow bis example. i In the end it was found that every one had contributed to the evening's entertainment but the medical gentlemen who occupied the vice chair. "Come, Dr. Macdonald," said the chairman, "we cannot let you escape." The Doctor protested that could not sing. "As a matter of fact," he explained, "my voice is altogether unmusical, and resembles the sound caused by the act of rubbing a brick along the panels of a door." The company attributed this to the doctor's modesty. Good singers, he was reminded, always needed a lot of pressing. "Very well," said the doctor, "if you can stand it I will sing." Long before be bad finished his audience was uneasy. The unwilling singer had faithfully described his voice. There was a painful silence as the doctor Kw .L.ftn at latinpfh Ittrfha ifHU'O of Hit 1/ uuuu, ux"ivoii ai ivngvu * 'J vmv ?"*w ?. a braw Scot at the end of the table. "Mon," he exclaimed, "your singin's no up to much, but your veracity's just awful. Ye're rioht boot that brick." Irishman Had His Doubts.?As is well known, the Rev. Robert Collyer of New York was a blacksmith in f'ermantown Pa., before be became a preacher, says Success. Once, when there was little work at hand he asked a builder in his neighborhood for something to do. The latter replied that all he could give him would be a job carrying a hod. "I'm your man" replied the blacksmith promptly. Years afterwards while an imposing edifice was being erected in Chicago for Dr. Collygr, he was standing among the beams watching the progress of the work when an Irishman came along with a hod of bricks. Dr. Collyer spoke to him and he paused. "This is har'rd work, soir," said the Irshman. "I know that well," answered Dr. Coll yer. "In my day I've carried the hod myself." "The Irishman stared at mean instant," said Dr. Collyer, in relating the incident, "and then went on his way mumbling something that sounded suspiciously like "I wouldn't a' belaved th' parson was such a liar." All Knew Why Brandy Was Weak.?"Years ago when I first left home," said W. H. Donahey, "I got a JOD in a country pruning unite, Some one gave the editor a jug of applejack brandy. One day, while we were all at work, a man came in to pay his subscription, and the editor took him into the sanctum and shut the door. 'Gee! But that's mighty thin brandy,' were the words that came through the thin board partition. "I began to snicker. 'Shut up,' said the foreman, 'I been drinkin' and waterin' it.' " 'So have I,' said the editor's son. " 'So have I,' said I." , An Old Favorite.?An old negro in a South Carolina town was arrested for stealing chickens, and as the old fellow bore a rather bad reputation it was quite hard to secure counsel for him. At last a young lawyer, who naa Known it<usius iur <t ions umc, took his case, to the great joy of the old man. When his trial came off the judge asked him: "Are you the defendant?" The old fellow, perplexed for a moment, then replied: "No, sah, dat's de defendant, sah," pointing proudly at his counsel. "I'se de man wot stole de chickens."?Philadelphia Public 1 Ledger.

(, THE TAX ON DRINKS. c i Great National Incomes From This t Source?$358,000,000 for Russia. !i The United States received last year 9 $131,000,000 of public revenue from the 11 tax on spirits and $47,000,000 from the ^ tax on beer, a total of $178,000,000. c The Russian government estimates at c $358,000,000 its revenue this year from t' the sale of liquor, which is a monopoly t of the Imperial government, except in I1 Siberia, where, on July 1. it will be- t come a monopoly too. I1 In Great Britain the revenue from h excises, as the tax is called, averages t $138,000,000 a year, not much less than r the revenue of the United States gov- 1; ernment from the same source, and v there is, besides, the customs revenue J from rum, brandy and other intoxi- tl cants, amounting to $25,000,000. c The French government derives in a d year 300,0ue,000 francs from its tax on e plrlts, 25,000,000 from the tax on beer nd 175,000,000 from the tax on wine, ider being included. This is 5100,000,00 a year from liquor payments, exluslve of the amount collected as cusoms duties from wines entered into Vance for reshipment or for local conumption. Italy raises about 100,000,000 lire a ear from excise taxes, the equivalent f about 520,000,000. Holland raises about 50,000,000 floras from this source, equivalent to 20,000,000. The actual contribution of the liquor rade to the income of the state is ven larger than these figures Indicate, or there are local as well as national axes. Thus, in New York the state evenue from the liquor tax is distinct rom the Federal government collecions, and in Germany the larger part f the tax is paid to local authorities. -New York Sun. JOKES A CENTURY OLD. (ome Are Still 'Going the Rounds of Papers and Stump Speeches. What is regarded as the most vallable collection of ancient jokes in exstence has just been presented to the Missouri State Historical society by W. I. Thompson, of near Columbus. The hestnuts are in the 108 almanacs for ach year since 1795. In the almanac for 1804, now just a entury old, considerable space is deroted to "original jokes, witty remarks ind humorous anecdotes." Here are a ew of the "very funny," things in the Imanac of 1804. "A dull judge of the inferior courts if a sister state, having attended to l variety of causes in the morning, rent to dine at a friend's house with most excellent appetite. Among he company was a witty barrister. The judge, eating very heartily of a lish of salmon, observed that he had tiled himself so full that he needed looping. "Your honor is much more in want >f heading," replied the witty barriser." "A professor, lecturing on heat, oblerved that one of its most consplcuius properties was the power of exlanding all bodies. A humorous stulent rose in his seat and asked: "Is hat the reason the days in warm veather are longer than those in cold?" "Mr. Hare and Mr. Fox. had apart nents in the same house and each lad frequent visits from the bailiffs. )ne morning as he was looking out of lis window, Mr. Fox saw two of them it the door. 'Pray, gentlemen," said le, "are you Fox hunting or Hare luntlng this morning?" "Sir John Doyle, on being informed >y a traveler that he had been in a ountry where the bugs were so large ind powerful that two of them would lrain a man's blood in a single night, lumorousiy replied: "My dear sir, we lave similar animals in Ireland, but here we call them humbugs." "A man having been capitally convicted at Old Bailey was, as usual, isked what he had to say why Judgnent of death should not be passed in him. "Say?" replied he, 'why I hink the joke has been carried far mough already, and the less said the wtor?If vou nlease. we will drop the subject." "In a newly raised corps, a soldier ately observed to his comrade, who ,vas an Irishman, that a corporal was o be dismissed .from his regiment. 'Faith, and indeed," said the Irishnan, "I hope it is the corporal who is >o troublesome in our company." 'What is his name?" replied the oth:r. "Why, corporal punishment, to be sure." replied Pat. "A person who could not read a sylable took up a newspaper in a New fork coffee house and, holding it upside down, pretended to peruse the advertisements on the first page with jreat attention. 'What news?' inquired a bystander. "There has been a ;reat storm in the West Indies," replied the reader, 'the vessels are all jpset." "A country squire asked a merryindrew why he was playing the fool. 'For the same reason you do," said le, "out of want. You do it for want jf wit, I do it for want of money." Some of the jokes, humorous renarks, puns and witticisms which are perpetrated in the "Western Comick Mamanack" in 1834 and which have lot yet outlived their usefulness are ts follows: "As a broker was folding some bank jills a wag observed: "You must frow rich fast. I perceive you readiy double your money." "A poor country hawker, being deeded in the act of shooting a butcher hird. was taken before a justice. 'So fellow," cried the justice, "you iee fit to shoot without a license, do ^ou?" "Oh, no your honor," said the >ffender: "I have a license for 'hawkng." So saying he handed his pedllet's license, and the bird shot being t hawk, he was discharged." 'When Mr. Alexander Gun was dis:harged from the Edinburgh custom louse the entry made against his name vas: 'A. Gun. discharged for making i false report.'" The Toijacco Situation.?The que<ion is often asked if the prices received or tobacco do not pay the grower why loes ho continue to raise it? Simply beause his capital is invested in barns,prizes jid other appliances and land, and to ease to grow tobacco will be to lose his nvestment in large part. So iie continues o plant and cultivate and cure this crop, loping that the future may bring him nine measure of relief or that the lawnuking powers may impose such a large ax on the trusts as to permit private dealrs to enter the market. If nothing else an be done, the growers might be allowed o manufacture or in some way prepare he tobacco so that it may be sold in small lackages to consumers by the growers or heir agents. The Government ought to ie generous to tobacco growers. They lave furnished the material from which lie Government for a long period has de ived a revenue of over 50,000,000 annualy. To dry up this fountain would lie nnrise and a great loss to the Government, it present the trusts make more out of he tobacco crop than the Government re eives in taxes on the manufactured prolocts of the same crop.?Col.

It is not generally known that the 1 present Queen of England owes her 1 position as wife of Edward VII. partly to her excellent reading. She was in- i vited, when sixteen years of age, to the British court, where the late y Queen Victoria devised numerous fetes and other entertainments In honor of the occasion. i One day, wearied by the confusion : and pomp of regal etiquette, young j Princess Alexandra took a book and wandered off in the palace gardens. J So deeply was she engrossed In this pastime that she was unaware o( the distance she Jiad strolled from the ] palace. Startled by a shadow flitting j across her path, she looked up and saw Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. He smiled and said: "You were read- ' ing?" I "Yes, your highness," she replied. , "May I inquire what author is so I highly honored?" "Shakespeare." "And you were reading?" With something akin to Yankee spirit, she answered: "Guess." "Romeo and Juliet," "You are good at guessing," she laughingly responded; "it is really so." "Take my arm, and lend me your Shakespeare," proposed Prince Albert. Thus, arm in arm, they continued their walk, he selecting passages and reading them to her, she an attentive listener. "Ah!" he suddenly exclaimed, "this is a coincidence. I shall lend you my copy, and you will find that wherever there is a passage marked in yours, mine also is marked in precisely the same spot. "That simply proves, prince, that we can both appreciate the beautiful," returned Alexandra, quietly. Finally, tired of walking, they seated themselves in the shade of a giant oak, and the prince, who now as king is still said to be a fine reader, selected several passages, and read them aloud with a skill which evoked the highest compliments of his fair companion. He then chose a passage for her to read, saying: "I want you to read this as well as you possibly can." She glanced at it, and smilingly commented: "I see it is something about kissing; but as I presume it would be treason to question the taste of your royal highness, I shall endeavor to do my best." At the conclusion of her effort, the prince impulsively 'clapped his hands, and exclaimed: "Bravo! You read so finely that I wish you might be employed by the year to please the court of England with your voice!" "In that case, prince," she said ser* *? *'T Ja# anvnna fVlflt lUUSiy, A UU Ilui IVI1U r* vra. aiijvuv -??? is better able to employ me than yourself." "It would depend altogether on your price," replied Albert, half-Joklngly. "Oh!" returned the princess, "I should not be very extravagant In my charges; I should be willing to read to them for life for the sum of twenty-flve shillings." The prince, somewhat mystified, cautioned her: "You are much too moderate; I fear you would soon have reason to regret such an engagement. "Not so insignificant after all, prince," rising as she spoke, "for, if you reflect a moment you will remember that the sum of twenty-flve shillings is no less than an English sovereign and an English crown." Before Albert had recovered from his astonishment, Alexandra had left his presence, perhaps fearful of the effects of her audacity. That she created an. impression upon the heir apparent is, however, most evident; her marriage with Albert Edward took place on March 10, 1863, and she now shares with him the honors incident to the possession of a "twenty shillings" Income. INCRIMINATING DOCUMENT. Was This Filipino's Cuticle, and It Causec His Arrest. A man was taken to constabulary headquarters yesterday whose body was an art gallery. His breast, back and arms had been rendered completely antingantlng by tattooers, working under the skillful guidance of antingantlng priests. He was visiting his querida in Manila when arrested. ii'na on * y *-? nranAQOP QCI n CT native, but he had too many incriminating documents worked into his cuticle to be allowed to roam around in a wild state, so he was arrested as a suspicious character. He gave his name as Sylvester Gomez. His antingantings were above suspicion, as well as above price, and had they -sna sj s-b 'luauuea e uo pajjjo.w uaaq tomary, he would have been despoiled of it for a curio. uver nis iieuxi ne nau woraeu a. conventional figure of an altar, with a cross superimposed. This he said was an antinganting. On his right breast was a human heart, inverted, surmounted by a cross, with three letters above it. When asked what particular brand of antinganting this was he only grinned the wider. It Is believed that this fantastic design is the reminder of some vow that he took during the insurrection. Three more letters and a cross were tattooed in the hollow of his back. He said that these were never known to fail to keep off disease, and, indeed, it must be confessed that he seemed to be an extraordinarily healthy animal. Then there were long disarrangements of the alphabet across his breast and all down his arms. They looked as if somebody had attempted to write ?? lnt nf cad it i Ail o nau'onn nor hoflHIInAQ in Tagalog and had run short of copy paper and so had used Gomez for a writing tablet. He explained that these would keep off bullets, and they looked as if they would.?Manila Cable News. Hadn't Bf. en Baptized.?Father Macklin, of St. Paul's Catholic church, relates an amusing incident that came to his notice walking recently near his parsonage, says the Washington correspondent to the Philadelphia Ledger. Father Macklin chanced to meet three lads, two of whom were altar boys, who were dragging the j third to the priest. I "Father," said one of the altar boys, 'this kid wants to be an altar boy, Ike us." "Indeed," said the father, running lis hand ovej the lad's curls. "My son, lave you been baptized?" The child looked at him for a mo pent, puzzled, men ne exclaimed: "No, sir, not baptized, but I've been vaccinated." THE CHRISTIAN churches at Constantinople, Turkey, and Yokahoma, Japan, have long used the Longman & Martinez Paints for painting their :hurches. Liberal contributions of L. & M.
