JJrlght Spring Days.
The spring should be pre-eminent
ly a season of contentment, happi
ness, and hope. In these bright and
pleasant months the country should
enjoy its highest degree of tranquil
ity and prosperity. But spring, it is
well knownj, is often a period of dis
comfort and disturbance in the phy
sical system.- Important organs of
the body become torpid or irregular
in their action, and the fact is instant
ly reflected in the mental condition of
the individual. A disordered liver
means disordered . nerves and a dull
and unsteady brain. Anything which
will bring the physical system into
harmony with budding nature confers
an enormous benefit upon the nation, j
besides the mere allaying of physical
comfort. Hood's Sarsaparilla does
this, as thousands. of grateful and
happy men and women can testify,
and increased use of this standard
spring medicine is of more real prac
tical importance in promoting'health
and quiet in the business world than
reams of abstract theorizing.

YEARS OF UNJUST PU?J!SHME.M T. I
Governor Nor! hen I'ard:!ii tli Vic:iirj of
Cruel ConKilracy.
Atlanta, Ua.,' April 2$. lint for.
deiithbed confessions. Allen Yancy,
now confined in Dade coal mines, j
would have served a life sentence for a
murder of which he is entirely inao
cent. As it is he was pardoned by Gov- i
ernor Northen yesterday after ail ku-J
just confinement of ten ears behind ;
1 prison bars. j
Ihe man for whose murder Yancy
has suffered was Richard Cuff, a resi
dent of Calhoun county. In 1SS4 a i
party of five or six white bys, healed '
by a negro named Blacker, went to the
house of Cuff at dead of nipfht to whip
him. Armed with cowhides and pis
tols, they attacked the place.
Bursting- in, Blacker tired at random
to intimidate the occupant. One of the
bullets proved deadly, however, and
the intended victim of the little band
of whitecappers was shot in the head
and killed.
The crime was laid at the door" of
Allen Yancy, an I old, inoffensive, ante
be! lum negro. Blacker failed to escape,
however, and was convicted and given
a life sentence. The crowd of whites,
to protect themselves from a probable
implication, swore to Yancy's gruilt as
an accomplice. He narrowly escaped
hanging, and was, too, sent up for life.
Yancy has since made an exemplary
orisoner, though always protesting his
innocence. Recently, three of the white
boys who were at the scene of the kill
ing died. Upon their deathbeds they
all completely exonerated poor old
Yancy, now almost decrepid from his
arduous serviee.
The governor was immediately asked
to pardon the convict. The then pre
siding- judge, solicitor, jury and grand !
jury united in the request, becoming !
firmly convinced that he was in no way
connected with the murder.
Acting upon this, a pardon was
granted, and Yancy will be immedi
ately released.

vent ion Assembled.
Indianapolis,'. April 27. For over
twelve hours yesterday and last night,
without a single recess for a bite or a
sip, the 1 ,700 delegates to the republi
can state convention devoted them
selves to the making of a party ticket
to be voted on in November. This ex
traordinary session was duo to the fact
that there were no less than forty-three
candidates for the ten nominations, and
taking their keynote from the speeches
of ex-President Harrison and ex-Secretary
Thompson, both of whom sug-g'est-ed
that a republican nomination in
Indiana this year was equivalent to an
election, the supporters of each candi
date fought to the last ditch for their
favorites.
.Three and in seme cases four ballots
.were required for each nomination, and
. the net results of nine hours calling of
the roll four nominations had been
inadeup to 8 o'clock last night.

Barboubvili.e, Ky., April 28. Full
details have reached here of the death
of two persons about a mile from town.
Mrs. William Stamper, a widow, lives
on ay adjacent farm. Sunday she sent
several children to get coal from a
neighboring coal bank. As the chil
dren were gathering the coal, the slate
or roof broke loose and instantly killed
one of them, a boy 4 years old.
The other children ran back to the
house to get help to get the child from
the mass of slate and earth. A daugh
ter of Mrs. Stamper went back with
them, and in her efforts to extricate
the dead body of the child, the slite
sibovo broke loose a second time, so
badly crushing her that her death has
also resulted after several days of suf
fering. The daughter was married
ana leaves three children, one of them
being a baby jiist four weeks old. The
whole affair is a most distressing one,
nnd runch sympathy is felt for the un
fortunate mother. -

SOME ODD IMPORTS.
Articles That Are Dutiable In Vari
ous Porta of the World.
Taxes Imposed Upon Persons Who Follow
Certain Callings Sweden's High Tax
Upon Commercial Travelers
from Abroad.
In times past it was deemed war
rantable to tax salt, candles, leather,
brick, soap, starch, paper, and in 1652,
even bread and meat. Peter the
Great of Russia lovioda tax on beards,
with the lauda ble object of making
his subjects wash . their faces and
shave. Brass tokens are. still to be
bought in that country bearing the
words: "Borado pignaia tiagola,"
which means "The beard tax has been
paid." F. G. C. Lnndy gives particu
lars in Temple Bar of the .British hat
tax of 1784, requiring hatters to take
out licenses and imposing an ad va
lorem stamp duty on every hat sold.
In old times, too, the Scoteh sacra
mental certificates used to bear a six
penny stamp; a tax on religious al
manacs, glass, stone bottles and adver
tisements were among the fiscal duties
of the past. There was also a tax on
"the light of Heaven" in the shape of
an impost on windows until far into the
present century. This odious and un
sanitary burden caused architects and
builders to erect' houses with as few
windows as possible, and to escape the
tax the windows of many houses' were
blocked up.' Some of these dark and
dismal abodes are still in existence in
England. The Russian government a
few years ago decided to tax kerosene
oil and matches virtually a tax on
light. In some' parts of China a tax is
imposed on all women entering the
bonds of matrimony. Travelers to those
parts are obliged to take a wife, and
when they leave the ladies take fresh
husbands, to the benefit of the revenue.
In Kcrvia vanity is taxed in the shape,
of ladies' bustles. In Melbourne
Christmas cards are taxed one-fifth
per cent. It has been stated that in
Weimar the authorities levied a duty
on musical parties.
Quite lately an annual tax of ten
francs has been imposed on pianos in
France. Music has paid tribute to tax
ation in other ways. A musical troupe
recently crossing the frontier of Sax
ony carried wit1! them a crown of
laurels awarded them at a triumphal
performance. The custom house offi
cers taxed the laurels as spice. Masse
net, the composer, it is related, was
also charged duty on a crown oi laurels
oti the German frontier.- In his .case
the wreath of fame was deemed to be
woven of "medicinal plants." In
Montreal organ grinders pay a license
of twenty dollars and are only allotvcd
to play at stated times. In Vienna
they are also licensed and regulated as
to hours. In France a certificate of
character, a distinctive badge and lim
itation of hours is insisted upon. Ad
vertisements in the form of posters and
placards are required to bear a tax
stamp in France, which is" distinctly a
tar: on trade and publicity. In Italy,
where the people complain that the
taxes are exorbitant, the voluntary tax
paid by the poorer classes in the form
of ' lottery amounts in a year to over
three million pounds sterling. At
Laterza the Italians recently broke out
in open revolt against the municipality,
which had increased the hearth tax,
and took the civic buildings by as
sault, wounding the syndic, but they
do not agitate against the lottery tax.
In "Old Madrid" last year there was
terrible and fatal rioting among the
men and women who hawk vegetables,
fruit and other articles in the streets
and markets owing to the imposition
of a tax "on Spanish hawkers.
In 18S9 M. Dunajewski, the Austrian
minister of finance, who was described
as "the nimblest' politician in the
world for inventing new taxes," de
cided to tax the total isateiirs or bet
ting agencies. Totalisateurs are es
tablished on all German and Austrian
race courses. The system is to divide
all the money invested on the losing
horses among those who backed the
winner, after deducting eight per cent,
commission for the agency. There is
no cheating or welshing possible in the
plan. A ten per cent, duty on win
nings was decreed. In France the
parimutual, a similar system of bet
ting, is taxed seven per cent., five per
cent- of which is devoted to the relief
of the poor. Bookmakers are also
taxed. There is also a municipal tax
of ten per cent, deducted from the re
ceipts of theatrical and public enter
tainments, which is also assigned for
the benefit of the unfortunate. This
revenue is principally distributed in
the shape of grants to public charities
and hospitals, thus making pleasure
come to the rescue of poverty and the
relief of pain. In Sweden commercial
travelers visiting that country have to
pay one hundred kroner (about twen
ty-five dollars) for every month or part
thereof they may remain for the privi
lege of transacting their business.
"Napoleon" Ives, of New York,
who died in Asheville last week,
achieved distinction before he was
twenty-three years old. -He stole
$6,000,000. During his brief career
he is said to have roped in his dupes
to the amount of $1 7.000.000. of
which it is said he saved about $1,
240,000 irom the minions of the law.
