This, if I were building, would be the price; but when I had deducted the protective tax on lumber, glass, shingles, hard ware, and paint, I found the real cost of my house was only five hun dred dollars. Here is a dead loss td me of three hundred dollars. I had paid three hundred dollars to the Carnegie set to keep up their palaces and tally-hos at home and in Scotland. My stable, also a frame one, cost mo four hundred dollars. Calcula ting as before, I found the same pro portion held good, and I am skinned to keep up the protectionists to the tune of one hundred and fifty dollars another loss to me of that amount. I have a pair of old work horses. The harness on these cost me forty dollars; the unnecessary tax is four teen dollars surely a loss. Mv three ploughs cost ma thirty dollars.

Ou the occasion of one of these attacks of colic it was tried to frighten him out of gross habits by declaring that it would be necessary to- open his stomach, and j the doctor proceeded to arrange his instruments accordingly. Tarare, however, found an opportunity to run away, and releived himself by taking copius draughts of warm water Soon after he found that his appetite had really increased to an excessive amount,' probably owing to the ir ritation produced by these absurd tricks.
