A Drny.ir wotnan called npac s family in

twgin a conversation. Suddenly she was taken
dreadfnily ill. She said that she had no money
and coaid not go to Ihe hoapiial, and they wotild
bavo to keep her throngh a ran of fever. They
give her $3 to crawl out and try to reach tbe
hospital; after which she recovered with
tonndiog rapidity and bought a new blao sash.

bnt it is f.diguing, and detrimental to sound

A vest learned family Ibis is in Dos Moines,
Iowa. The father is a clergyman, and can do
all the spiritual duty of the house; tho mother
is a physician, and so tho domestic eirclo can

studying law, nnd will lie abio to make bor own

Tiut graud, extraordinary and astonishing

Tms entirely satisfactory explanation of tho
back pay bnsioeas, in tha Missouri Ilepnblicin,
does away completely with the troublesomo
question of responsibility nnd places tho whole
subject in a most agreeable light: “Wo pro-
anuin there has he on a misunderstanding about
that back pay business. Tbo feet is, the whole
thing was a tonching episode of ronlnal disin
terestedness. Congress passed tbo bill, not be
cause its mcmbora wanted that money, bnt bo-
onto they wanted lo testify their regard for
Ihe President's serviced by mining his salary.
And tho President signed the bill, not bocauso
he wanted tho increase of salary, bnt because he
thought ihe members ought to have back pay.”
A Qnrxn 1’rorr.x.—A Kichmund, V*., corre
spondent of the Conrier-.Tonrna! says tbo in
crease of barrooms and barbershops in that city
is very wonderful. The habit of onr people
mast lie to tsko a drink and get shaved; then
lo take a drink and got shampooed; get shaved
again and taka it drink, nnd after one more drink
h\va their hair cut, and then take a drink nnd
go lo bed. Otherwise it would be impossible
for so many barrooms and barbershops to flour
ish. There is lo my knowledgo bnt ono public
bathing establishment in the city, from which
one might argno that onr peoplo have dean faces
and dirty carcasses, which is not tree, because
there are more or less Inbs in every honse, and
occasionally a sponge.
“Kiriinmo Winona."—Tho San ssjs the
Treasury Department, at Washington, keeps
one two horse and ono one-herso wagon to trans
fer mills and other packages, and ihe cost of
repairing these wagons daring tho fiscal year
ending with Jane 1872, was precisely $2,COT 93.
They were repaired fourteen limes. The care
of the horses and the repairs of these wagons
and the harness coat, for the samo time, exactly
$11,687 4G. Tho explanation Is that these
horses nnd wagons oovev an extensivo livery
arrangement supported by the Department for
the hso of soma favorite subordinates male nnd
femtio. Them inolnde fifteen to twenty hand
some carriages and trotting wagons and steeds
to match. Bnolo Samnoi is salicilons that his
girl* and boys, while they remain loyal, should
enjoy themselves at his expense.
Public Schools In Americas.
The General Assembly having passed an act
incorporating a Board of Education for Sum
ter county, the subject of public schools is
under discussion in Americas. Tho editor of
the Republican having been solicited to give
his views on tho propriety of establishing them
does so at somo length in the last iesue of his
paper. He is opposed to their establishment
for various reasons. The public poTCtty, the
oppressive character of ihe taxation which must
be imposed, tho injustice of taxing one class
to educate another, the necessity of keeping the
children ot homo to attend lo domestic and
agricultural labor, which is now so inefficiently
performed by servants.
He thinks the girls and boys ought lo bo em
ployed in cooking, sewing, working on the
farms and in tbo gardens, raising stock—plant
ing orchards and practicing tho mechanio arts.
The people cannot assume the impracticable
task of educating tho negroes, and tbo Stale
educational prevision, with the aid of tbe Pea
body fond, will give the children three months'
schooling a year, which is enough for all impor
tant purposes—“sufficient to provide for a com
mon school education.”
An Americas friend enis this article out and
encloses it with a request that wo shall make it
tbe text for opposite views. He says, very truly,
that wo have many readers in Americas, and is
pleased to add that enr ideas “ wonld bo influ
ential in moulding public opinion on this sub
ject.” Wo have no donbt the people of Ameri
ens and Sumter county will como to a correct
conclusion without any aid from ns, and indeed
we are in no aitnation to give advice; for we
know nothing client tha financial condition of
tho city or county—a point which ought to enter
largely into the decision. Tery few schemes
of public benefit are good cnongb to justify
going heavily into debt for their accomplish
ment.
In respect to the general economy and effi
ciency of public schools, that is a point which
must be considered experimentally settled.
Their rapid introduction Into most of the States
and cities of tbo Union, and tbe fact that when
onee introduced they havo never been aban
doned, bnt have been multiplied, enlarged and
improved with increasing ardor from year to
year, should satisfy nil reasonable men that, on
tbe whole, they bare been fonnd more efficient
for the pnrposo of pnblio education than any
other inslrmnentality yet disooTcrod.
They bava practically demonstrated every
where that all the children can, if they and
-their parents choose, enjoy bettor educational
facilities at a Icm aggregate cost than (ho com
paratively ftw who can attain the faoilities af
forded by private schools. Tho pnbiie school,
In snccessfnl development, gives better materi-
faeilities—(apaclons, well-vonlilated school
rooms)—and belter instructional facilities—for
seeks tbe best instructive talent, and by a
system of ending and classification applios it
to tbo best advantage, so tbit under this sys
tem tbo same teacher can accomplish twieo as
ranch. Under this system tho actual cost of in
struction varies from one to two dollars per
month per pnpii, which shows ils actnal econ
omy.
Tho objections to it, on the other hand, are
not to bo whistled down tbo wind. Tho com
plaint abont tbo injustice of imposing taxation
where no direct personal benefit oan be or is
received, is not wilbont weight. Bnt Ihe samo
objection lies with eqnal force against many
other pnblio expenditures and bnrdons. Thou
sands npon thonsamls of men are taxed heavily
every year to maintain tho civil administration
tbo oonrta, who nevor had and never will
havo a suit in them; and of all onr taxes and
expenses the vast bulk gees as an inevitable
tribnto (o ignorance and vice. Them are by

and if we eonld banish them we shonld dispense
once with half tbo expenses of living.
Honoe many wiso and liberal men ssy that, as
prevention is far less costly and tronblcsomo
than cure, the money spent in pnblio ednealion
saves a mnch greater amount of expenditnro
which would olberwiflo bo incurred in tho da-
tcotion and pnnisbment of crimo, and in tho
relief of pauperism; and others maintain that
(ho elevation of iho people—their positive in
crease in product!vo power by a wisa system of
nnlveraal pnbiie instruction will, in ono genera
tion, return more income to tbo public coffers,
than the instruction took from them.
Ono cannot seggrogste himself and his own
interests under onr social nnd political system.
They become Intimately interwoven with those
all others, and sympathize deeply with tho
eommon weal or woo. Society, in many of its
most important aspects, is a nnit; and it is in
ils unitary form that wo mast look for tho jns-
tifieation of the system of pnbiie instrnction at
Iho expenso or tho pnblio purse.
Tho three months' system and tbo “poor
school” system are not to bo despised whore no
better is altainablo. Let every community, in
this matter, resolvo to do Ihe best they can.
Wo think Ihe lielter they do for Ihe schools,
within Iho limits of prudence, the better they
will do for themselves. It Is one cf those inter
ests wherein liberalitv is sonnd economy. But
the people ongbt to move together in this mat-
ter—there shonld be no discard or division, and
harmony will bo likely to increase with increas
ing study and deliberation.
AnII-RallroncI Communism,
In u conversation recently with a very intelli
gent and well informed gentleman on the cars
from Chicago to Pittsburgh, speaking of the ex
orbitant freights on grain and other articles of
prime necessity, ho delivered himself as fol
lows : “ The strikes for higher wages all OTer
the conntry, and tho combinations among cor
tain guilds and classes of the community
compass their several ends should be eminently
suggestive to all transportation monopolies.
There is a growing feeling among the poople,
that these railroad companies hate no right
shut than out from the abundant supplies cl
food which are rotting in the fields for want
a market,” This reasoning is, of course, false,
and smacks cf violence and fonrrierirm, bnt
nevertheless it is worthy of attention.
It is a fact patent to every one, that of late
years, since tbe constitution his lost its sancti
ty, and higher law notions bavo prevailed, the
progrest of abnormal ideas and latitndinarian
sentiments, even npon the moat obvions princi
ples of right and justice, has been fearful.
The Sabbath is openly violated, pleasure is
made to override duty and the restraints of
conscience; men are proscribed and persecuted
for daring to think and act for themselves in
opposition to their brethren of the seme trade
the barriers of cute aro broken down; tbe
rights of properly disregarded; and in somo
portions of the North an insensa'.o populace,
jacobins, red republicans, and communists in
politics, are ripe for anything which will over
throw ancient landmarks, and make a now
deal of tho property and snbstsnco of tho conn
try. Theso men wonld not besitalo to tear np
the railroads and resort to any deed of violence
to attain their nnholy ends. Experience, too,
has demonstrated how difficult it is to arrest
such acts of vandalism, and bring their perpe
trators to jnstice. In viow of this condition of
things, sonnd policy would indicate that proper
concessions shonld be mado by railroads to this
growing sentiment which threatens so mnch
mischief, that tbe feeling may bo nipped in the
bad, ere, like a snow ball, it gathers new secre
tions of strength, and swells into tbo propor
tions of a mighty avalanche.
Perhaps the transportation of grain conid be
cheapened witbont loss to the monopolists, and
if bo, it should be done. Tbs interests ot hu
manity demand it, and the progress of every
branch of industry in the conntry. Bnt it is
humiliating to think that lawlessness and brnto
foreo shonld bs the molivo power to bring
abont these results. In charity let ns rather
hopo that tho utterances of this Western man
are witbont foundation in faot, and that the
majesty of tho law can and will be maintained.
Bat it is idle to deny that the drift of things
at tbo North is in that direction. Manhood
suffrage and the abolition of “all distinctions
of oolor and previous condition,” are bearing
the upas finit of anarchy, bloodshed and vio
lence, and tho ballot box is no longer tho pal
ladium of the liborties of tbe poople, bnt
rather in the handi of an illiterate and fanati
cal mob is tho vehicle of misrule and oppres
sion.
Tho nodorerast of society is “striking” for
equality and elamoriog for tho properly and
position of their superiors. Tbe only hopo of
ths country is that well directed capital, educa
tion and intelligence will prove too powerful
for Iho combinations of ignorance, poverty and
vice. From Iho corrupt national government
w» have nothing to hopo orexpeot.
Tire Foot Omcx.—Wo understand that Bel
cher has not yet succeeded in finding bands
men, and has not entered npon his reward in
the fat pickings of the post offieo. Tbe bond »
la, we hear, $ GO,000, and as Belcher’s colored
brethren in this State, all combined, can htrdly
master that amonnt between them, he will have
to fall back npon his white friends here or else
where. Clarke, of the Savannah offloe, went all
tha way to Skowhegan for his bondsmen, and
B richer may have to go even farther. We fur-
(her understand that one of Iho present cfficials
—a white man—will occupy a very responsible
position nndcr Bdchcr. It is raid that there
are at least one hundred applicants among the
*' colored troops” of tbia city for tho four or
five subordinate positions in the effioe, and as
at lea«t ninety five must be disappointed, we
may expect some tall a wear log when the matter
4s settled. .
A Naw Deal Called Fob.—A Labor'Reform
Convention held in Beaton last Snnd.y, passed
s singular set of reeoinlion*, cf which the fol
lowing was one:
Resolved, That while not nodervaloieg the
abort time movement, co operation, financial
reform, or free trade, it is an especial object of
this league to concentrate attention npon the
fact that property not founded npon a labor
> title is robbery; and we demand the entire
abolition of profits and the restoration cf «z
iaSeg wealth to its rightful owners.”
Bat wonld these reform-re be any better sat-
isfiel with •‘property founded on a labor title ?"
Not they! Among unthrifty workmen, tho
least popular of all is ho who savos—accumu
lates and improves his condition, ilia ex
ample and condition are a perpetual reproof to
his comradei, and be wcnld be the fiat man
-'ripped of hla property, if they had their way.
What would come nearer meeting the demands
of these reformers, won'd be an equal division,
ail round, onee or twieo a day. Bat this would
destroy all earning* and all accumulation*. and
then there wonld be nothing to divide.
First liua from tho Matrons of Uns-
bamfry.
Contrary to appearances yesterday it seems
tho Patrons of Husbandry have elected their
candidate for Chief Jnstice of fllinois—defeat
ing the incumbent by .1,300 majority. This
will scare the Radicals and tho Western rail
way combinations. Mnch brealh his been ex
pended on tho enormity of a political combina
tion to affee^ judicial decisions; but if there
bus been anything else known to the country,
from the bands of tho Radicals, since the war,
we have failed to see it. Tbe Snpreme Bench
has been packed for this pnrposo on system,
and having parked the lieneh we see the Bench
down South peeking the Juries/ ItlsScrogg’s

—they can't do worse. It is evident they are
going to do something considerable in Western
polities.

Grant's Drunkenness the Basis Thereof—
The Temperance folks Can't M ind It
Any Loncer.
The following is an extract from a late Wash
ington special to the Now York Graphic:
The country wiU hear, with surprise and pain,
that a serious movement is on foot to prepare
materials for the impeachment of tbe Fresident
of tbe United States. It is alleged by the pro
moters of this new political venture that Preei-
deot Grant’s habits are such that the nation can
not afford to havehimeonUnneasitsChierMag-
istrate any longer. There has always been a
suspicion that bis thirst for stimulants was
exoeesive and boyond the control of his will,
and it is now known that by the ieflaenee,
especially of his wife, be has been kept as
mneh as possible from temptation; and that
when he yielded to the sedoctions of the cop,
tne family, by judicious restraints and reti-
—qms. have been enabled to save tho nation
mnoh scandal. It is now alleged that the mis
erable propensity which compelled the res
ignation of Captain Grant from the army in
former times has again obtained sneh a mastery
Whin disposition that for about tworihirds
of his time te is nndcr the infloenco o. drink;
and that the public business suffers lamentably
on this very account. Now. this may be all
boarsay and personal scandal; bnt I can assure
yon that it is credited in more qnarters than the
pnbiie is aware of, and that the movement is a
serious one, looking to his deposition from Ihe
high office ho now fills.
Grant can and will Iangh all such rumors and
ovea movements to soocn. A man who has done
what he has without impeachment, can get
drunk every day in tho year, and show himself
in the streets of Washington or elsewhere,
without the slightest fesr of that or anything
else. He is the master of this conntry and peo
ple, and will get drank or do anything else be
pleases, just whenever and whereverand as of
ten as be pleases.
Crops in Ilooly 4’onnly.
Tho following letter from a Dooly correspon
dent is sensible and lo Ibe point. Wby cbonld
onr people bny corn from the West at any price,
when they havo an abnndnnco of land and labor
toprodnoe it at home? If large cotton crops,
rxnmnlirin f«w» tvtlArmlla^ slrnnth flwla
rust conM be assured, and in addition remu
nerative prices, then Iho temptation to plant
cation to the exclusion of every thing else, wonld
ba vory great. Bnt unfortunately a big crop of
colton only brings increased labor and no more
money. Let nothing bnt tbo great staple bs
cnltivatcd at the Sontb, and it wonld hardly
pay the cost of production, aside from guano
lions, and corn nnd baeon bills. Tine indepen
dence can never be enjoyed until wa raise onr
own food, nnd make cotton a secondary conside
ration only: _ ,
Vienna, Ga., Jnne 3, 18<3.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In such
_ time as this, when the eorn mado at homo is
abont ont with no money lo buy more, anything
that offers relief is hailod with exceeding great
joy, especially by that improvident class of
farmers whoso eorn and meat honses are in iho
far West. All tho efforts to indneo Southern
planters lo- live at homo and make their farms
self sustaining, havo been of no material bene
fit to tbem, so far as thoy as individuals are
concerned. Everything is sacrifiood in order
to keep “King Cotton” on tho throne. And
now, that Iho “Great West” and “Snnny South”
are to ba as “two hearts that beat as one,”
drawn closely togathor connected by a canal,
which natnre has no nearly formed as
to cause an immediate redaction of
over three hnndrcd per cent, in tho prise of
freight, is it wiso for these who have, in the
past, proven themselves friends of onr agricul
tural interests, by counseling onr peoplo to
raise their own corn and meat, to relax their
efforts? Oan we successfully pursue tha nil
cotton mania, borrowing money at present
ruinous rates to bny com even at fifty cents
per bnahel ? l’onr correspondent from Hous
ton thinks not I agree fully with him;yet,
how many are there all over the South who will
scout tho ides. The future will tell, however,
end at present it is a qnestion which shonld
engage tho attention or the sonnd-thinking
agriculturist of onr State. For where wonid
wo have been to-day bad it not been for tho
example of tho wiser class cf farmers and the
sower of tho press to restrain men from rnsh-
ng en masse into bankruptcy and rain ?
Com crops in this section are looking well,
despite tbo storms of rain, srind and hail.
Many of onr farmers are hauling their com
for present use from Monleznma, a distance of
from fifteen to twenty five miies. Thoy havo
been at it ever since tho war, and judging from
the small ares they havo devoted to the present
crop, somo will continue the pnetiee till death
closes their wild, foolish esreer. Wo are
having an exoess of rain and cloudy weathor
now, which is injurious to tho young cotton. It
is very email, and is looking very unprom
ising, many farmers being not throngh chop
ping. I think a larger area has been planted
in cotton here than last year.
Somo few still make a snffioicncy cf wheat
for homo use. Tho crop this year, however, is
rather short. Byo very goal. Oats pood,
where they were not kilted by tha eoid. Res
pectfully yours, “Yorso Fashed.”
Intermarriage of tVhiies anti Slacks.
Lately, in Montgomery, Alabama, a white
woman married n black man—a fact which
seems to havo suggested tho following etaie-
ment by tho Advertiser:
Tbe laws of the State of Alabama positively
forbid miscegenation, but the Snpreme Court
of tho State (known now and for all time ts
“Peck and Peters folly”) have srith an ont-
raceons expression of stupid fanaticism, pro-
noncoed theso laws to be unconstitutional!
Both the United States Coarts, and the State
oonrta of Georgia have held such lairs to be
constitutional and they are so held in Virginia,
Kentucky, Tenneseee. Missouri, Maryland, and
s majority of the Northern and Western States.
The Snpreme Court of the State of Indiana has
just unanimously deckled that, neither the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of
the United States nor the civil rights bill passed
by Congress, has impaired or abrogated the
laws of this State on the subject of the marri
age of whites snd negroes. Sneh a union be-
Iween members of the different races is a
criminal offence Dy the statutes of this Stale.
A Balloos Tmt to Euaorr—Tho balloon
trip to Europe is at last to bo attempted. Fro-
feaaor John Wise and W. H. Donaldson, two
experienced and well known aeronauts, propose
to take the balloon voyage of which so mnch
i... been said and so little done. Tbe Boston
Board of Aideraun have responded to a petition
from them, ard made an appropriation of $3,000
to aid them in fitting out their aerial ship, in
which they will start from the Common in that
city on Ihe Fourth of Jaly. Ths gentlemen in
tend taking two other persons with them, tnl
throngh the* co-operation of the Franklin Insti
tute in Philadelphia, expect to secure the ser
vices of two scientific men. Professor Wise
bases his reasons for undertaking this perilous
voyage on the following theories: At a certain
height above the earth there is a continuous air
current or tide selUng from west to east, caused
mainly by tbe centrifugal force generated by
the revolution of the earth on its axis, and that
this current moves at the rate of from sixty to
one hundred miles per hour. Thus he expects
to reach England in two days, at the most, from
the time of starting.

What Shall be Done Willi the Modoc*.
Wahunoton, Jane 5.—Tho President, the
Secretary of tbe Interior and General Sherman
bad a consultation to day on tho Modoo ques
tion. This was the first formal consideration
of tho subject by the efillers of the Govern
ment, and preliminary steps were taken to de
termine the point at issue, namely: What shall

In the first place, it seems to be tho under
standing that (he Secretary of the Interior has
the power of directing in the premises; at
least, bo will take no present action. Tho In
dians having violated their treaty obligation by
reselling to hostilities, and thus placed them
selves beyond tbo care mud supervision of the

conducted tho operations against them, their
custody belongs to the military, the same as of
prisoners of war, captured or surrendered, or
other prisoners taken in arms against tho au
thority of the United States andgnllty of attre-
cions acta.
Third—These premises being settled, the
qnestion a* ta what shall be done with with the
Modoo prisoners—whether they shall bo tried
by a military commission or remitted to the
civil oonrta, will be submitted to the Attorney
General by the military authority for bis
opinion, whieh will govern the law in the case,
and in this coarse, the President, Secretary of
the Interior and General Sherman are in accord.

Correspondence) of (be Woild. |
St. Paul, Minn., May 27.—Tho St. Paul
Pionoer of this date relates the story of some
very mysterious and inexplioabie occurrences
l Rjfroad' the nerves of
abont Randall Station, ailuateit'iirs tndaK.’lrfce-
waate on the main line of the St. Pan! and
Paciiie road. “We report only what wo have
heard,” it says, “bnt (ho etories which havo
reached us aro ro well authenticated and are re
peated by so many porsons who are not in
clined to superstitions notions, (bat wo are at n
loss to givo any opinion on the matter.’ ’It
seems that tbo seotion foreman of the road
nt the locality named was formerly n man
named Connelly, who is said to havo taken ereat
interest in his division. In March, 1812, a
terriblo accident occurred on tbo road at this
station during a snow Rtnrin, whereby many
lives were lost, including that of Connelly.
This man was succeeded in his duties by a man
also named Connolly, who occupied the station
house as his predecessor had done before him.
After be had been on duty for some months he
suddenly became tho victim of porious ghostly
visitations and manifestations. Tho apparition
cf the dead foreman appeared nightly at bis
bed-side, wringing its hands apparently in en
treaty. nnd sometimes as if in anger. He bad
also bcon thrown violently from his bed, and
when he recovered himself he wonld find
braises and tbe imprints of fingers and hands
npon his body. Alarming incidents cf this
character occurred so frequently that Connolly
finally asked to bo removed from the division
or from tho honso. These particulars snd many
other details connected with the appearance of
tho phantom to other eyes were published at
the time of their occurrence.
The Pioneer now says that tho proceedings
have continued up to tbo present time, and that
tbo peoplo living in that part will go aronnd the
house for five miles rather than pass it. Tho
spirit, or whatevor it may be, is now seen abont
the honso day nnd night. Tho doors of tho
honso open nnd shut at night wilh an exceed
ing clatter. Tbo phantasm of tho approaching
train is seen at night which,- when it reaches tbo
station, melts into thin air with the sound of a
great tumult of voices and tho orios of dying
men. A lantern is also visible at intervals
bobbing up and down along tbo road, but be
lated travelers upon the prairie, when they ap
proach it, discover that it recodes from them
and that they have been mislead for miles.—
Tumults as of a groat company dancing togoth-
ore beard in tho house, and outside a rush-
_j noise as of a scurrying drove of cattle
salutes tho ear. Tho haunted plsce is avoided
as far as possible by all, and lhroo families
which havo endeavored to live therein within a
short lime have been frightened away. There
probably natural causes to account for moat
of these strange proceeding*, bnt tbe fright of
the people near the station-house is not tho less.
American Industry nt Vicuna.
No donbt, say* tho World, Pennsylvania will
mako tho most important show of the United
States at Vienna, and among her chief objects
of exhibition will, of course, be bar-iron. We
may expect Pennsylvania to prove that her bar-
m ia as good as any iron made in England,
if it is not better. Bat we will tell the jndges
what they will not hear from the exhibitors,
what we know about bar-iron”:
First—Bar-iron is dearer in tbe United
States than in any other conntry on the globe,
Timbnctoo perhaps excepted, sices no prices
current como from that interesting land.
Scoond—Tho avowed object of baring a high
duly on foreign bar iron is to protect homo
industry, or in other words to diminish or
totally extinguish the importation of bar iron.
Third—Instead of diminishing our imports of
bar iron wo have gone on steadily increasing
them. Whiio we only imported 150,000,000
pounds of bar iron in 18GS, wo increased its
importation in 1872 to 230,000,000 pounds,
which shows that the Pennsylvania iron man
ufacturers cannot keep psee with the wants of
the conntry.
Foarth—Notwithstanding tho excellence of
the Pennsylvania iron, ami the promise made
years ago that if a protection of seven years
was only granted to the iron industry we shonld
export iron to England, twelve years have now
passed, yet tbe whole exportation in 1872 of
bar-iron wax tbirty-six and three-qnarters tons,
valued at $4,532. These being tbe facts, we
hops some honorable commissioner will ask
these Pennsylvania exhibitors wby, if Protection
doc* not prevent importation* of bar-iron bnt
increases them, and doe* not increase exporta
tion of bar iron bnt prevent* it, and if tho
Treasury ha* yearly surpluses and does not need
heavy revenue from bar-iron, the high duty
still kept np?
We will tell tbem we u«e abont 800 000,000
pounds of bar.iron; 23C.000.000 ponoda we im
port, acd pay an average duty of 1 j cent per
pound, or say $2,930,000 into the Treasury.
There therefore remains 304,000,000 pounds of
bar iron which wa take from Pennsylvania, on
which we of coarse pay also the additional 1 j
cent per ponnd, amounting to $7,050,000, the
latter going into the pockoL* of less than two-
’6 of iron- masters. It is because these few
[-masters insist npon au annual bonus of
000,000 that 40.000,000 peoplo most p»y tri
bute to tbem. As Butler in the matter of tbe
back pay, so (he iron-masters in defence of
their bonu3 might say, “Soppoee we do steal
*7.000,000 annually on the bar-iron protection,
_ is only 174 cents a head for everybody. H
pnblio benefactor* like us are not allowed to
pocket such a trifle what is to become of Re
publican institutions

DIAMOND SPECTACLES.
npHESE Speotacles aro manufactured from “Min
ute Cryatal Pebbles” molted together, and are
called Diamond on account of their hardness and
brilliancy. It ia well known that spectaolos cut
from Brazilian or Bcotch pebbles are very injurious
the eye, because of thoir polarizing light.
Having boon tested with the polariscope, the
diamond lenses have been found to admit fifteen
per cent, less heated rays than any other pebble.
Thoy aro ground with groat scientific accuracy,
:o free from chromatic aberrations, and prodace
brightness and distinctness of vision not boforo
attained in spectacles.
Manufactured by the Bponcer Optical Manufac
turing Company, Now York.
