The tariff reform movement is taking
definite shape in Pennsylvania. On
Thursday last the editors of over thirty
Democratic and Independent newspapers
df that State met at Harrisburg to con
sider the tariff question. They decided to
organize the Revenue Reform Press As
sociation of Pennsylvania. Its object, as
defined in the constitution, is “to prepare
and publish such facts concerning the
present war tariff taxes as will tend to a
better general understanding of their mo
nopolistic and other oppressive features,
with a view to their ultimate reduction
to a revenue basis.” It is claimed that
about fifty papers will become members
of the association, and revenue reform
sentiments are rapidly spreading *mong
the people of that State.
The Convention.
In the vast amount of matter that is
being sent from Chicago there isn’t any
thing that indicates who the nominees
will be. It is safe to assume that the
leaders are as much in the dark as those
who do the bragging, betting and bluster
ing. Attention is directed almost
wholly to Blaine and Arthur. It
seems to be admitted that the
strength of these two candidates
for the nomination must be tested before
much notice is taken of other cand’dates.
If one of them manages on the first, or
even second ballot, to get the required
majority,that will, of course, end the mat
ter. There are few, however, who believe
that either of them can increase his
strength unless the winning figures are
almost touched on the first ballot, and no
legitimate calculations yet made sh<- *
that either of them has within 75 or 100
votes of the required number.
If neither is nominated before the third
or fourth ballot, it is probably safe to as
sume that neither will be. Their sui>-
porters will drop away from them un
less an attempt is made to imitate the
example of the famous 306 of the conven
tion of 1880. In some quarters the state
ment has appeared that Arthur’s sup
porters would go to Blaine. A few of
them may. It is certain that
Blaine is a great favorite with
some of the Southern delegates who
will abandon Arthur as soon as
his prospects begin to look unpromising.
The National Committee is certainly
against Blaine, its decision by a good
sized majority to place the Mahone Vir
ginia delegation ou the colls indicates this.
The Mahone delegates can be depended
on to support Arthur, and if he is aban
doned they may go to Sherman. The
Dezendort delegates were counted for
Blaine. The convention, however,
may not confirm the action of
the committee. If there is a
fight made in the convention over the
Virginia case some idea of Blaine's
strength may be obtained before the bal
loting begins. It is remarkable how little
is being said about the second place on
the ticket. There doesn’t appear to be
any candidates for Vice President. It is
a very desirable place, however, and the
nominee for it ought to rank with the nom
inee for the first place. In the
last forty-three years four Vice-Presidents
have become Presidents, and in that
time they have administered the govern
ment about fourteen years.
The scheming and wire-pulling will be
gin in earnest to-day. The delegates
have about all arrived, and there will be
little rest lor them in the windy city until
the nominations are made.
Plowing by Steam or Electricity.
Steam plows have been in use lor
several years in England, Egypt and some
parts of the United States. Heretofore
the only steam plow that has given satis
faction is one arranged to be drawn by
an engine stationed at the side of the field
by means of a wire rope. There are many
objections to this plan, and hundreds of
experiments have been made to demon
strate the practicability ot plowing with
traction engines.
Heretofore these experiments haye not
produced satisfactory results; but now
the wheat growers of Dakota are begin
ning to use a traction engine plow that
bids fair to supersede horse power for
turning prairie sod. An engine drawing
a gang of eight plows has been intro
duced into the Territory, and its average
work is the breaking of twenty-five acres
per day, turning the sod four inches
thick.
Fuel being scaree and costly in Dakota,
the cost of breaking the land by steam is
said to be one dollar per acre. Of course
that leaves a good margin of profit for the
owner of the plow. The cost of breaking
the land by animal power is three dollars
per acre, as it requires four horses or
oxen, one man and a boy to operate one
plow, which will break only a little more
than an acre a day.
No 6team plow has yet been constructed,
however, to meet the requirements of
small farmers. There has long been a
great demand for such a machine. Some
twenty years ago Horace Greeley dedicat
ed the book which demonstrated how little
he knew about farming to the man who
should invent a steam plow. It would
appear that Us construction would not
lea very difficult matter, but no one has
ever yet claimed the dedication.
The rapid development of the electrical
science suggests that before many years
electricity, rather than steam, will be
looked to bv farmers for motive power to
draw their plows and wagons and propel
all their farm machinery. With the stor
age batteries already invented, and the
utilization of the powered the wind aud
watercourses in venerating electricity,
it only needs a few steps forward to adopt
this mysterious force to every purpose
where power is required. Gen. Toombs
once remarked that “The niggers and
mules are eating up the country.” If
this is true —and it is to some extent —it
is high time the more progressive people
were devising some plan to yoke the light
ning or harness some other force in na
ture in their plaees. We might get along
with the negro very well, but the combi
nation of the negro and the mule in our
farm economy—or rather absence of econ
omy—is a subject for serious considera
tion as to its bearing on the future of the
countrv.
Trouble in Brazil.
The steady and peaceable progress of
abolition in Brazil has created considera
ble surprise all over the civilized world.
There is some prospect, however, that be
fore emancipation goes fully into effect all
over the empire its progress will be im
peded by disorders of great magnitude, if
not by civil war. There has already been
several small outbreaks by slaves who
became wearied waiting for emancipa
tion by the slow and gradual methods
which the abolitionists have wisely
chosen to pursue. The most
serious occurred at the town of Rezende,
in the Province of Rio de Janeiro, on the
24th of April. One of the wealthiest cof
fee merchants and planters of the capital
was openly set upon and slain by three of
the slaves on one of his plantations while
he was making his annual inspection. A
few days afterward they were hanged and
their bodies horribly mutilated by a mob
of four hundred Brazilians. This out
rage has caused a reaction against eman
cipation in that part of Rio, and has had,
doubtless, an unfavorable effect on the
cause elsewhere.
In many sections uprisings on the part
of the negroes are feared. At the town
named above, at last accounts the greatest
excitement prevailed. Rumors came to
Rezende that a large number of slaves on
several contiguous plantations intended
to attack the town and sack it, and tele
grams were at once sent to Rio and other
points for arms and assistance. Some
.police were sent, .and found the peo
ple under arms and greatly agitated.
As the threatened insurrection did not
take place, there is some reason to sur
mise that the fears of the people were to
some extent unduly excited by the reac
tionists.
In the meantime the abolition propa
gandas are steadily at work. Frequent
meetings are held, and at each of them
many slaves are given their freedom.
Another United States.
An ex-President of Honduras, Senor
Don Mareo Aurelio Soto, is writing a
work on Central America, which may ex
ert a great influence on the future of that
part of the world. It is to. be devoted to
the history of the Central American
States since the Spanish Conquest. It
will show the common origin of the peo
ple of the different so-called republics,
and the identity of their interests. The
object ot the work is to convince the people
that their future material advancement
demands their union into a single, strong
confederation. He has been carefully
studying the history of the United States,
and the workings of our political system,
and he is so favorably impressed that he
will advocate the union of the Central
American States on the same basis as the
States of this Union.
The Senor seems to appreciate the diffi
•culties in the way of the realization of
his plans. The idea of “liberty” is not
generally understood by average citizens
of Central America. Such words as
“equality 1 ” and • constitutional govern
ment” have very ill-defined meanings to
them. They have not lost the aristocratic
notions and the autocratic modes of their
Spanish ancestors. Liberty with them
means to be free from the restrictions of
the law, and to have the right to oppress
others at will. They have no traditions
ot Magna Charta, and no history of the
development of the “Love of liberty pro
tected by law,” which have made a re
publican form of government possible in
the United States.
As the Central American States, how
ever. come into closer contact with the
outside world, the people will see the ne
cessity of having a settled government
so as to secure tranquillity and general
piosperitv. A large part of the people of
Central America are instinctive revolu
tionists. Senor Soto acknowledges that
only can union be made possible by the
slow and tedious processes of public edu
cation and commercial intercourse with
the United States. Perhaps his ideas
may become practicable in the next gen
eration. They will hardly be so during
the present.
It is asserted that the fiddle on which
the Father of his country used to play is
now in the possession of Col. J. Washing
ton, of Virginia, and the regents of
Mount Vernon are negotiating for
its purchase, to be placed in Miss Custis’
music room. The price asked is only
$1,500. In this music room are the harpsi
chord presented by Gen. Washington to
Miss Custis on her wedding day and the
flute with which he accompanied her. If
somebody will now bring out the jewsharp
of the same date as the historic hatchet,
the musical museum of Mount Vernon
will be complete.

Even though France has attained a foothold
in China, it has yet to build up a trade in that

Two tricyclists have been making a run
from Paris to Geneva, a distance of 525 miles,
in six days with delightful ease. They never
tasted spirits, beer or wine, but drank coffee,
chocolate, and occasionally aerated water
with fruit syrup. They had breakfasts for
which they paid fifteen ceuls each, aud a
charming country dinner for which they were
charged thirty cents, syrup and aerated water
included. They ran on the national roads, kept
bv government, with a surface like a billiard
table and net a single rut, and, though they
only carried a small tourist map, never went
a hundred vards out of the way, thanks to
the sign posts and the difections on the wall

Mrs. Gar spy would .be at borne in the
Grand Canon of the Colorado, which is con

world. For years this chasm has been a
matter of surprise to prospectors and miners,
on account of its wonderful transmission of
sound, and it has only been since the advent
of the railroad that any definite idea has been
entertained of the great distance it travels
within its walls. A train of cars crossing the
bridge at the Needles can be plainly heard on
a quiet day at Cottonwood Island, a distance
ot eighty-four miles. The fife and drum at
Fort Mojave is distinctly heard at Bull’s
Head, a distance of eighty-four miles. J’he

A very able correspondent writes from
Paris to a London paper: “There is a wide
spread feeling of uneasiness, in Paris espe
cially, which nothing can allay. Net that
people apprehend immediate trouble, but
they feel that though the republic is estab
lished it offers no security for the future.
Consequently there is a disinclination to em
bark upon new commmercial and industrial
enterprises, awl the hoped-for revival of
business iu the spring is still to come.
Curiously enough, the stagnation extends to
matters artistic aud theatrical. The latter
phenomenon is well worthy of notice, seeing
that .n the most stormy days of the First
Revolution the theatres displayed the great
est activity Paris rarely deprives itself of
nt the fictitious drama, whatever may he the
real ones performed there. But though the
situation is strained enough, we have not
reached so acute a period, and still there is
little novelty."
A book is about to appear in Vienna called
“Fourteen Tears with Adelina Patti.” Its
authoress is her former companion, Louise
Lanw. The book will disappoint those who
look for scandal. Adelina’s first loTe was a
voting Milanese merchant whom she met first
in London. Her father made no objection to
her marriage with him, hut said tiiat they
must wait until his daughter had made some
monev. But the young Milanese, who was of
a jealous temperament, was so disgusted at
seeing his adored embraced nightly by tenors
that he said lie could not wait, and thus the
marriage went off. The Marquis de Caux was
first attracted by Adeliua at a concert at the
Tuileries, and an evening stroll at Baden Ba
den brought the matter to a climax. The au
thoress denies that De Cattx’s rank and title
were his only attractions in Adelina’s eyes,
and says that she herself did all in her power
to prevent their separation.
A Spanish newspaper, published on the
northern frontier, states that a canal from
the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, which is
to convert the Iberian Peninsula into an
island, appears now to be in a fair way to be
come an accomplished fact. Starting from
the Gironde, the proposed canal is intended to
touch Toulouse, continuing through Langue
doc. and joining the Mediterranean near Nar
bonne. As the site for a commercial empo
rium Narbonue holds a position second to
nouc in France, being placed at an angle of
the Gulf of Lpons, and in the valley of tne
Aude. The contract for the works is signed
between the founders and the contractors of
the Suez canal for a canal capable of taking
vessels of the largest size. The founders have
asked the French Government for a guarantee
of 10,000,000 francs annuallv, to begin from
18*1, when the works are expected to be com
pleted.
Thb fact that photographic portraits are so
rarely good likenesses is attributed by a writer
in Chambers' Journal to the circumstance that
by photography it has hitherto been found im
possible to give colors their true shade value.
What is meant by this is that yellow to the
eye is a brilliant light tint, but in a photograph
it is reproduced almost black; red, instead of
firing the idea of fire and light, comes out
lack, and blue photographs perfectly white;
such changes, of course, playingsad havoc with
complexions and contrast of color generally.
According to a recent French process, how
ever. the trouble or drawback In question can
be obviated, the plan consisting simply in the
addition to the usual ingredients of the sensi
tive photographic surface of one per cent, of
losine. A modification of the ervstoteum
process is now being introduced. The photo
graph. printed in the usual manner on paper,
is first of all immersed in a mixture of naph
tha, paraffine, mastic drops, ether and vinegar;
this treatment makes it quite transparent. 60

When an angel made shad
The devil was mad,
For it seemed such a feast of delight,
So, to ruiu the scheme,
He plunged in the stream.
And stuck m the bones out of spite.
When strawberries red
First illumined their bed,
The angel looked on and was glad,
But the devil, 'tis said.
Fairly pounded his head,
F'or he’d used all the bones for the shad!

ROUGH TIMES AT SEA.
Wreck of the Schooner Mary Vancleze—
Loss of Captain, Mate and Two of the
Crew— Rescue of Three Others—Fear
ful Times In St. Catherine’s Sound.
Brunswick Ilerald.
The two-masted schooner Mary Van
cleze, Capt. Fred Small, left Port Royal
Tuesday morning, May 27, bound for Sa
tilla river. At noon the breeze began to
freshen. They shortened sail and stood
till 12:30 a. m., when Scipio Gilland, of
this city, who was steering the vessel,
being relieved by the mate, heard a noise,
as if water was 'in the hold. He reported
to the mate; the Captain was called. An
examination disclosed the vessel leaking
and the water over the keelson. The pumps
were started, but the water continued to
gain on them. About 2 a. m. the vessel
commenced settling by the head; they
launched tbe boat, and the crew aban
doned the vessel. Thev laid by until day
light, when they again boarded the vessel,
and found the water just below the middle
deck, and the vessel listed on one side.
Then the mainmast was cut away, hoping
to right her; finding her still settling, they
left her. As she did not sink they boarded
her again, and cut away the-foremast,
hoping she would thereby be able to float
until they could be rescued. The vessel
continued to settle, and all.isft her but the
Captain and one man. They stayed on
board for the purpose of firing her so that
she would not be in the way of any pass
ing vessel; but she settled so fast that they
had to abandon the idea andsw T im to the
boat, and the vessel went down. With
difficulty thev kept out of the suction.
This was on Wednesday morning. They
made sail ou their boat, but the heavy sea
and stiff breeze compelled them
to throw everything out of
the boat. Shortly after their
boat filled with water and capsized; one
of the seven was drowned. The balance
of the crew righted the boat and lashed
the spars and oars across her so as to
keep her on her bottom. In this condition
they floated, with every wave breaking
over them, until 4 a. m. on the 30th, when
Capt. Small died from exhaustion in the
mate’s arms. At daylight on the 30th, a
two-masted schooner passed, but failed to
see them. Shortly after a steamer
passed, but failed to observe them.
At 8 a. m. the schooner Ad
die Jordan, Capt. Harriman, came
in sight and answered their sig
nal. He rounded to in the face ot a strong
wind and heavy sea, and hove them a life
line, rescuing three of the survivors—the
mate, Albert Grant, and one of the crew,
not having strength to hold on to the life
line, were drowned. The schooner Addie
Jordan arrived in Brunswick about five
o’clock yesterday afternoon, bringing
the men rescued. The survivors are
Scipio Gtlland, a native of Bruns
wick, Peter Cuyler and Itaac Fernanda.
Those lost are the Captain, Fred Small.
Albert Grant, mate, Nat Robinson and
Isaac Robinson.
NOTES.
Dead Boom*—The Southern Delegates
The Divided Netv York Delegation—
Officeholders to the Front—Reporters
Interviewed The Damage Chicago
Whisky is Doing.
Chicago, Mav 30.— The appearance of
a divided delegation from the State of
New York, the frequently repeated asser
tion that neither Arthur nor Blaine could
carry that State, and the presentation of
proo'f in support ot' this assertion, have
had some effect upon delegates, but thus
far the arguments have been regarded by
most of the Western men as more con
clusive with respect to Arthur than with
respect to Blaine. Those who know very
little about New York politics can re
member the defeat of Folger, aud can see
that the President, aided by the use of
patronage, could not secure more than
half of the delegates from his own State
and lost the four delegates-at-large. The
Blaine men from the West very naturally
admit that Arthur could not carry New
York, but they assert that Blaine could
poll as many votes in that State as any
other Republican.
THE FAIRCHILD BOOM IN WISCONSIN
is dead beyond the hope of resurrection.
It was admitted to-day by the leading
men of the Wisconsin delegation that his
name would not be presented, unless the
defeat of both Arthur and Blaine should
open a way for a group of dark horses,
aud it is probable that even in that event
the State will cast no Fairchild votes.
Delegate Sanderson, ex-Chairman of the
State Committee, who was said to be for
Edmunds, and who really is for Arthur,
asserts that of the 22 delegates no less
than 12 will vote for Arthur.
AS FOR THE EDMUNDS CANVASS
nobody knows Iwhere his gmanagers are
to he found, and the impression prevails
that he has none here.
The John Sherman boom was quietly
launched in bedroom 230, on the top floor
of the Grand Pacific. Its appearance did
not make a great disturbance in the
whirlpool ilwn in the lobbies, but the
Arthur iui<V®iine managers were quick
to it might grow to formid
able proportions, and treated it gingerly.
The New York Arthur men especially
were nervous, because they fancied if
Blaine was to pull out in lavor of any
body he would throw his strength for
Sherman as the most obnoxious man to
Arthur. They feared, too, that Sherman
would draw votes from Edmunds as well
as from the Southern States as soon as he
began to loom up as a candidate. The
Sherman headquarters are in charge of
Judge Joseph B. Foraker, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio last fall,
who is to nominate Sherman in the con
vention.
THE LOGAN HEADQUARTERS ARE THE
APARTMENTS
occupied by William E. Chandler at the
last convention. Logan’s is the ouly
headquarters containing abed. In this
room Long John sits nursing his Chicago
feet and telling chestnut stories. Ex-
Gov. Beveridge and a score of the Illinois
ans," who wear soft ielt hats and their
hair" ala Logan, are usually squatted
around him, fizzing with tobacco juice
and pulsating with enthusiasm. Long
John stakes his political sagacity on the
prediction that if Logan is not nominated
Andrew D. White will be the man. On
hearing a rumor that the pliocene political
epoch was to be raked for a temporary
Chairman he became highly indignant.
“We tried that four years ago,” he
said, “and once is enough. No more
Hoars for me.”
liis. opinion was warmly applauded by
a young Logan warrior, who lay upon
the bed smoking a cigar.
IT USED TO BE SAID
that “white men are very unsartin,” but
at present the colored brothers are the
dark horses, and they give a great deal of
trouble to the touters, who are obliged to
smoke and talk and—l regret to say—to
drink with them here, there and every
where. It is a strange scene. The col
ored man learns by experience. In 18S0
they came here in droves, clad in thin
coats, white vests and sleazy trousers.
Thev shivered in the wind. They soaked
in the rain. Disconsolate in mind and
sick in body they turned pale with appre
hension aud did much damage to Chicago
whisky—never an agreeable beverage. A
fire was the most potent factor in
dealing with the darkies then. All this is
changed. This year they are here in no
ticeable numbers. There are, I believe,
a hundred colored delegates, but their
friends come along, too. They spend
most of their time in hotel corridors,
where, clad in thick broadcloth suits and
decorated with gilded chains and rings,
they despoil the atmosphere by sickly
clouds of alleged tobacco smoke, laugh
ing and talking loud the while. They
talk a great deal, but they say very little.
They have come to the shrewd and sensi
ble conclusion that they are an important
piece on tbe board, and they do not in
tend to give themselves away when they
are worth enough to be bargained far.
THE BLAINE MANAGERS
had the colored brethren in tow all day.
and the word was immediately passed
around that the “plumed knight” was en
deavoring to capture the negro vote. It
has been an open secret that Logan has
been making a play in the direction of his
sable friends, and when Gibbs, of Arkan
sas, was seen in the company of “Long”
Jones and other Loean managers, it was
supposed the colored vote was drifting
into their net. The Arthur men looked
on unmoved, and the wisest of politicians
who were inquiring African mys
tery came to the conclusion that the Ethi
opian delegates were anxious to create a
doubt as to their intentions for the pur
pose of rendering themselves of more im
portance, and also with the hope that,
being the objects of a hot fight, the contest
might result in some personal benefit to
themselves.
THE TRUTH IS THAT EVERYBODY
is at sea. The Congressional districts
are here instead of States, and State lines
are nearly obliterated. Many of the dele
gates themselves are undecided on candi
dates, and nothing definite can lie known
until the.first ballot is taken. The tables
are turned. The leaders are not able to
impart any inlormation, and they merci
lessly bore the reporters for news. The
interviewed turn interviewers. There
has not been any excitement to
night. The hotel corridors are flood
ed with electric lights, and they
sre somewhat crowded, but all is quiet.
AN EXAMINATION OF THE LIST
of Southern delegates who go to
to vote for Mr. Arthur shows how effec
tively the powerover his subordinates has
been utilized. In the roll of Arthur dele
gates from that section alone are the
names of thirty-one internal revenue offi
cers, headed by Commissioner Evans;
tfiirty-seven postmasters, headed by First
Assistant Postmaster General Hatton;
fifteen Marshals, Clerks, Commissioners
and others connected with the United
States courts, and twelve persons con
nected with the business of the Treasury,
Interior and other executive departments.
THE BLAINE MEN
are very quick to discourage any talk ot
Lincoln as a possible candidate for the
head of the ticket. It is significant, too,
that, little or jjothing is said about the
Vice-Presidency. In the event of the
nomination of either Blaine or Arthur
there is little doubt that Lincoln will be
put on the ticket. Should Lincoln get
first place Levi P. Morton, of New' York,
is the most likely candidate for Vice-
President.

The clock struck 3; two of the children
awoke with “squawls,” and Mrs. Kick
son, turning over w’ith a flounce, called to
her husband who was lying in an adjoin
ing room:
“Peter!”
“Well.”
“I believe there’s a man in this house.”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“I don’t mean you. I smell a cigar.”
“Where did you get it?”
“I haven’t got it, you greenhorn. I
mean that I smell cigar smoke. I know
that somebody has slipped into this house,
and you needn’t say there hasn’t,” aud
she arose and looked under the bed.
“Who do you think it is?” asked the
husband.
“It’s a robber; that’s who,”
“Do you think that a robber would
come around a man’s house and smoke
cigars?”
“It makes no difference. I smell cigar
smoke,” opening the closet door.
“I smell cigar smoke, toOj” said the hus
band. “I have been smelling it for some
time.”
“Get up and help me look for it.”
“What, the smoke?”
“No, the man.”
“Come on, and I think we can find him.”
Mrs. Mickson entered her husband’s
room and found that gentleman lying on
the bed, smoking a cigar.
“I don’t believe you have good sense,”
indignantly exclaimed the wife. “Why
ain’t you tell me that you were lying here
smoking like a fool?”
“Because 1 am not smoking like a fool.”
“Oh, you think you are smart,” and the
lady went back and tumbled into bed.

CANCER for 14 YEARS.
Spartanburg, S. C., March 14, 1884.
I have for 14 years been a sufferer from a
running sore on my face that everybody called
a Cancer. I have used over S3OO worth of
medicine and found no relief. About four
mouths ago I bought one bottle of Swift’s Spe
cific from Dr. H. E. Heiniteh, amt si nee have
bought five others, have taken it, and they
have CURED mk sound and well! My face is
as free from a sore as anybody’s, and my
health is perfectly restored. 1 feel like forty
years had been lifted off my head. Yours
thankfully, ELIZA TINSLEY.
Sir. Is. F. Burns, Hope, Ark, says, under
(late of Jan. 22, 1884: “I have taken five bot
tles of Swift’s Specific for a sore on my temple
—said to be a cancer. I have been wonder
fully benefited and will soon be a well man.”
Mr. W. It. Robison, Davisboro, Ga., writes,
under date Jan. 3, 1884: “I am getting on
finely, the ulcer is gradually healing. I feel
that Swift’s Specific will cure the horrible
cancer which has been feeding on me for over
20 years.”
