The New York Legislature on Thursday, the day it adjourned, jiassed the Vedder whisky bill, which is a high license bill. It was passed by a strictly Republican vote. The opposition of the Democrats was not to the high license, for which the bill provides, but to that provision of the bill which re quires that the proceeds of the tax shall bo turned into the State Treasury, and be used for the benefit, of the taxpayers of the whole State. According to the terms of the bill whisky saloons must pay a tax of S4CO in New York and Brooklyn and beer saloons 5100, while in the smaller cities and towns the whisky tax is place ! at S3O and the beer tax at $lO. It is probable that there would not he a great deal of opposition to this inequality in the license taxes if the money were used for re ducing the general taxes in the localities in which it is collected. It seems to be unfair that a tax should bo levied in the large cities for the benefit of the country. It is probable that Gov. Hill will veto the bill because of the disposition it makes of the money it produces. It is true that in about every State the cities are more heav ily taxed than the country districts, lint nowhere is there a higher rate of taxation in the cities for the benefit of the country. The higher saloon taxes in New York and Brooklyn ought to benefit only the tax payers of those cities. The reason, doubtless, why the Vedder bill was framed in the interest of the coun try taxpayers was to secure for it the sup port of the country members, the great ma jority of whom are Republicans. If the Governor vetoes it the Republicans will claim the prohibition vote on the ground that thej- alone tried to secure the legisla tion in aid of the temperance cause, and if he signs it they will claim to be the friends of the country taxpayers and ask their support for that reason. The Repub licans are shrewd politicians and are much more anxious to advance the interests of their party than they are to promote the welfare of the people, as this bill plainly shows. If they were sincerely anxious to promote the cause of temperance they would not have framed the hill so as to make it almost a neeeasity for the Governor to veto it. Reduced Rates for Ministers. While nearly all the newspapers of the country are confining their discussion of the interstate commerce law to the fourth sec tion, those of Philadelphia ate devoting their attention to the section which permits the railroads to sell tickets to ministers of the gospel at reduced rates. The subject is an interesting one. The practice of making such discriminations in favor of ministers has long prevailed, due, no doubt, as one Philadelphia newspaper suggests, to the old fashioned deference which used to be ac corded to the cloth everywhere, and which to a large degree is still accorded. ' Some of the railroads luid it difficult to determine who are ministers of the gosjx'l. There are ministers who do not preach the gospel, as the word is commonly understood, and yet they are recognized as authorized expounders of some religion. The Spirit ualists, for instance, have ministers ap pointed in accordance with fixed regulations; but Spiritualists as a rule have no faith in the gospel of Christ. In Ohio the authority to perform the marriage ceremony is limited to “magistrates an<l ministers of the gospel,” a fact which in some instances has caused the same privileges to be extended to each. Thoological students and nuns are recog nized as ministers of the gospel in some States, and even some Quakers are so re garded. It is probable that every minister of a religion, whatever that religion may be, will seek the benefit of the exemption. In this event, the railroads may find it nec essary to ask the courts to decide who are ministers of the gosjiel within the meaning of the act. Quite a large number of ministers never accept reduced rates from tho railroads. They refuse to do so upon tho ground that it is not right for makers of public opinion to place themselves under obligations to such corporations, and also liecausc they do not wish to be regarded as subjects for charity. It would, perhaps, be best for all ministers to refuse to accept favors from the railroads, but as long as their salaries are so small they arc not likely to do so. Congressman Ben Butterworth is making quite a reputation as a spread-eagle orator. His latest effort was in Cincinnati, the sub ject of lus oration being “Communism in America.” He handled the Socialists and Anarchists without gloves. Ho spoke forcibly on the subject of strikes, saying that whenever they resulted in deeds of vio lence, causing loss of life, such result was nothing but cowardly murder, lie wanted foreign immigration restricted, claiming that within the last eighteen years 7,000.000 of paupers bad arrived at Castle Garden. liis audience gave him unstinted apiiluu.se. Mr. Blaine will not relinquish Ohio to Senator Sherman without a struggle It is stated that a syndicate composed of the former's friends has bought a newspaper at Columbus, and that it will be managed in the interest of the Maine statesman.

Sena tor Shernmn wifi havo to look well to his Ohio fences. Tho reports of the recent drummer’s eon venton at Macon have led a member of the General Assembly, whose home is in North east Georgia, to suggest that it would be well to arm the knights of the roiul for the defense of the State in sudden emergencies. The suggestion is Nujieriluous. Georgia’s drummers are always ready to defend her against her enemies. Canadian railroad potentates are almost ns unpopular as the Governor General. At IVinnipeg, Stun., the other day, (Sir George Stephen and Vico President Van Home, of the Canadian Pacific railroad, were burned in effl/y.

Chancellor Mell, of the State University, has thought proper to reply to the criticisms upon his course relative to the recent at tempt of two students of the university to fight a duel. He cheerfully admits his re sponsibility to the press and tho public for the general principles controlling his part in the administration of the university, and considers it fortunate that the press makes it a rule to freely discuss the university’s affairs. He does not believe in resenting press notices tlmt are unfavorable, nor in trying to intimidate into silence any paper that shows a disposition to criticise harshly. Regarding the reason for restoring the students to the university after they had been expelled, the chancellor says, first, that they were duly punished. Their connection with the university was severed, And they were compelled to return to their homes. In this way tho brand of condemnation was placed upon the criminal, barbarous and foolish deed which they attempted to perpe trate. In the second place the offenders did not commit an unpardonable sin, and no sensible person would wish the doom of all colleges closed against them. This being the case, there was no reason why the doors of the university should bo closed against them. In the third placo, the punishment inflicted wus in the presence of the wholo world. The students themselves justified the university authorities, and de clared that they deeply regretted having vio lateil the university’s laws. Their parents and their friends acquiesced in tho justice of the punishment inflicted. Finally, promi nent citizens, including trustees of the uni versity, petitioned for the restoration of the students. Tho cliancellor’s defense of his course is complete and satisfactory. Tho punish ment inflicted upon the students was suffi cient to maintain the dignity of the univer sity, and after their honest confession of their error and tho expression of then - re gret for having violated the university’s laws, there was no good reason why they should not have been reinstated. The Beecher monument fund does not grow with tlie expected rapidity. “You never know what is the serious admiration of the world for a public man until he dies,” said a member of Plymouth church the other day. “At the time of the great scan dal the members of the church raised sloo,* 000 to defend Beecher in no time, ‘blit now, although it is over two months since he died, and the public have been invited to contribute, only about $15,000 have been subscribed to the monument fund. What's the reason for this great falling off? Well, the principal one is that the man is dead. But there are many other reasons that have contributed to this result. Beecher may have gained more notoriety after the great scandal, but he has lost much of the respect of those who had stood by him in his trial. The repudiation of Blaine in the last campaign was the one great mistake of his life, as far as popularity was con cerned. Many still believe that he de feated the brilliant Republican’ loader, and the schism that the Milgwump move ment made in the church was never ce mented. If ( Beecher had stood by his party the monument fund would not drag as it does.” ’ Mr. McAdoo,' the bright young Demo cratic Congressman from New Jersey, thinks there will be not less than 100 amendments to the interstate commerce law offered as soon as Congress -riteets. There is a very strong opposition to ti e eommision feature, he says, and he expects to see it abolished. The idea of a commis sion with absolute power, such as is exer cised by dictators, is repugnant to Ameri cans. He has talked with some of the lead ing men in Congress, who say that there must be something done about it. If what Mr. McAdoo says is correct, about the whole of the next session of Congress will be taken with amendments to the interstate commerce law. If that is the outlook the President can’t do a wiser thing than to call an extra session. Buffalo Bill has a daughter named Anita Lucille. She is a beautiful brunette, says a New York paper, of twenty-two summers. She is tall, has a pretty figure, is vivacious, well educated, and looks liko her father. She sailed for England on the Arizona last Tuesday. Her father telegraphed for her to come to London the day after Queen Victoria visited the Wild West. He ex pects her to be presented at court. It Is be lieved in New York that Minister Phelps will refuse to aid in the presentation. If he does Buffalo Bill will doubtless try to make’ life a burden to him by writing an article about him in Thomdyke Rice’s North American Review. Some drummers in Maine recently tried to play a joke upon green countrymen by pre tending to offer counterfeit money for sale. They had great fun for awhile, but were finally arrested. Confined in close cells all night, advertised all over the country, forced to pay about all the money they had to lawyers, and finally obliged to threaten l"gal proceedings and physical resistance in order to prevent themselves from being pho tographed for the benefit of the police, they found the laugh very much “on the other side of the mouth.” It isn’t often that drummers suffer a joke to he turned on themselves. The statement is made that for a month or more Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago, has received a bushel of papers a day with marked notices, connecting his name with tho Presidency. Most of them come from the Boul b. “Mr. Lincoln,” says an exchange, "states that this kind of mail is a great an noyance to him; that ho is notin politics, anil has no political ambition. It is known, however, that tho law firm of which he is a member has a practice worth more than $50,000 a year. Mr. Lincoln is devoting himself severely to business." Sensible, Mr. Lincoln! Tho San Francisco Chronicle says that in the Chincso slave mart a healthy young Chinese woman costs more money w>w than a negro plantation hand did in the ante bellum days in Mississippi or Georgia. “And,” continues the Chronicle, “the courts nimost wink at this system of slavery under the ‘government of tho people, for tho peo ple, by tho people.’ ” As the Morning News has suggestad before, the abolition societies will have to be reorganized. At Cleveland, 0., the other day George Knierim and F. Horton were at work on a chimney 105 feet from the ground. William Jackson saw them, and, seized by an unac countable impulse, fired at them with a shotgun. Both were wounded. Strangely enough, they refused to prosecute Jackson. He ought to havc-benn locked qj., however, for someday he may bo seized with an “un accountable impulse” that wift. result in soaKibo iy’s lieath ' i CURRENT COMMENT.

From the Baltimore American (Be;.). One of the terrible wrongs > f lynching is illus trated in the case out West, in which the wrong man is now generally believed to have been hung. At best, lynching is a crime, but when it murders an innocent man it is doubly heinous. Strange National Inconsistency. From the Boston Globe (Deni.) We are all descendants of English, French, Irish, Dutch, Spanish, African or other foreign era. And it shows ast range national inconsist ency when we—every one of us immigrants or descendants of immigrants—so far reflect upon our own grandfathers a: to propose a national restriction against the foreign immigration of to-day. If v.a carried this principle out to its logical conclusion we would immediately vacate the American continent and give it up to the Indians. They are the only non-immigrants. BRIGHT BITS.

A farmer in the western part of this county built a dam across a creek flowing through his land and made quite a lake of a piece of low ground. One day last fall, while skirting this lake, he came across a man who was seated on a log, with three fish lines out, and he hailed him with: "Hello, stranger, what are you doing?” “Fishing,” was the brusque reply. “What for?” “For fish." “Got any bites?” “Not a one.” “Do you know that this lake belongs to me?” “Yes.” “And did anybody tell you that I went down to Detroit and bought twenty-four bullheads, and that all but one died on the way up here?" “Yes.” “Then you know that there is only one soli tary fish in this pond.” “I do, mister, and I'm going to have him be fore night if the pond doesn’t freeze over and cyclones keep away.” The Converted Captain. From the New London Day. During the progress of a pow erful revival of religion a boisterous old captain was “struck under conviction” under the preaching of Elder Swan, an eccentric revivalist. At midnight the protracted meeting closed and the elder sent the Captain to his boarding-place with the in junction to pass the remainder of the night in solitary prayer. During that period he w r as seen by the people of the house on his knees, with the hot tears bathing his bronzed face, and overheard in his prayer as follows: “Oh Lord —Thou know est 1 have been one of the —— that ever sailed deep water. Thou knowest I have been one of the <1 1 scoffers that ever struck a whale. Thou knowest I have raised —— from Genesis to Revelation,” etc., etc. The Captain was received into the church, and he ever after exemplified the lift* of a Christian. Of his conversion the elder quaintly said: “He w r as struck under conviction by one of the church’s heaviest harpoons, and towed into the heavenly port, and we found in the old fellow an abundance of the oil of faith.” Imposing on the Judge. FYont the Dakota Bell. A man was brought into court in one of the several prohibition counties in Dakota charged with selling liquor. He was sentenced to thirty days in jail.

Say! gimme that bottle of liquor and I’ll go to jail with the prisoner and let you run things to suit yourself for the whole thirty days." Stars in the Day Time. From the Chicago News. Lewis Swift, the astronomer of the Warner observatory at Rochester, has put the common belief that ' stars may be seen in the (lay time from the bottom of a well,” with such other ptpular delusions as the germinat ion of wheat, i?anh, efc., from the mummy pits of Egypt, 11* imbedment of live frogs in solid granite, the dropping from the clouds of live reptiles (unin jured by a fall of a half mile or more), the ejec tion from the human stomach of snakes, ha zards, frogs, etc., alive: the localization of water in the ground, for the digging of v.'elis, by the use of a forked stick of witch hazel—the “divin ing rod;’’ the extinguishment of fire by sunshine; the burning of air by passing over a very hot stove; the close connection of weather changes, as well as the germination of seeds and future growth of plants therefrom, with the changing phases of the moon, and other vagaries. Luring the construction of the Hoosac tunnel a shaft was sunk in the mountain to the depth of nearly half a mile. Prof. Swift wrote to the engineer in charge of the enterprise asking him if, when the sky was cloudless, he could from the bottom or the shaft see stars in the (lay time. His answer was, as expected, an em phatic “No."’ It is owing to the luminosity of the air that stars cannot be seen by day, and this luminousness is not diminished by descend ing into a well. Science and Sentiment. Nathan M. Levy in Judge. Oh, the music that evening seemed doubly en trancing, And Dora, my loved one, was fairer than ever, In the swell and fanfare of the gayest of dauc ing; I vowed from mine idol I’d separate never. The vast charm of her eyes and the spell of her glancing So thrilled me, I said that doubt’s chain I would sever; And her innocent ways, all her graces enhancing, Impelled my faint heart to the boldest en deavor. On the sofa we sat; all my languago fell teeming With eloquence horn or a longing unbounded; The soft touch of her hand set mo quickly to dreaming. The sound of her voice my rapt senses con founded ; As her eyes thrilled me through with their effluent I teaming. My soul with a rapture ecstatic surrounded, All the earth was a heaven in the fairest of seeming. And joy’s loudest anthem was there for me sounded. I’m sure that to learning I’d show no defiance, Alas, though, Its triumphs with sorrows are laden! For thnt night at the ball the electric appliance Went wrong—and I blessed the blank dark nest; we stayed In; And as there in the darkness I breathed my affiance, Ehue! though I thought myself dwelling in Aidenn, Dora fled, aud another sat down with much science— My arms were encircling a red-headed maiden!

Petrified lobsters, clams, turtles and the like are found in great abundance in the Santa Catalina mountains in Arizona, at a height of nearly 10,000 feet above the level of the sea. It has been computed that tho death rate of the globe is sixty-seven a minute, 97,790 a day, and 35,039.8115 a year, and the birth rate seventy a minute. 100,800 a day, and 30,792,000 a year. A large silver-maple tree in Middletown, HI., grew from a twig which a traveler stuck into the ground while passing through the village in 1840. The tree now measures 10 feet in circum ference. The Berlin police photograph criminals in profile so as to show the left ear. The theory is that the features of the face change, but the ear does not, and also that no two persons have identical ears. Ladies who powder their hair with golddust, to give it a sunny appearance, are doing nothing new. If they will look in the 7th chapter, book viii, of Josephus, they will lind the same fashion existed in the time of Solomon. A Roscommon county (Mich.) woman, who was trying to put out a fire on the roof of her house, was blown from the building by a high wind and her arm was broken. In spite of her sufferings she climbed to the roof twice after ward and put out the fire. W hen it was all over she fainted. A cook in a Nashville hotel who is short sighted has been much troubled by excursions of rats into his kitchen. The other day he pre pared himself for them, and seeing one close to him, as he supposed, fired a revolver at it. His aim was goon, if his sight was bad, and the bul let went through his foot. In Turkestan every wedding engagement be gius with tho payment of a substantial consid eration to the girl’s parents. If the girl jilts her lover the engagement gift has to be returned, unless the parents have another daughter to give as a substitute. The plan is said to work well and results in few divorces. A Philadelphia firm makes a practice of giving an excellent lace cap, trimmed with lav. ender ribbons, on which are embroidered the words, "One Hundred Years,” to each w oman in the State who lives to celebrate her one hun dreth birthday. The latest recipient of the cap was Mrs. Mary Brunner of Derry, who was born May 17, 1787. A laroe number of poor, oppressed brewers of San Francisco struck the other day against the hydra-headed monster Capital. They pa raded through the streets carrying a banner stating that they were "Slaves Striking for Freedom.” And every slave i.i the line had on a broadcloth coat, a high bat and sported a buttonhole bouquet. A traveler through Mexico saw at a moun tain station a tall, bulky Mexican with gigantic frame and a baby face, who would have excited admiration anywhere. He wore an enormous hat, hung with at least SIOO worth of silver bul lion, was armed with a revolver and a rifle, and had down each seam of his trousers a row of skulls and ernssbones in solid silver, each skull as big as a dollar. Everybody enjoyed the ap pearance of this splendid person, and no one more than he himself. Durino the epidemic of yellow fever which prevailed the first year in Caracas a physician had an opportunity to see a monkey with an un doubted case of that, disease. The principal symptoms manifested themselves in a manner so marked that there remained not the least doubt. For three days the poor animal re mained in a sad condition, each day growing worse, and presenting in succession the symp toms described, until the fourth day, when the case, terminated fatally. A native colonel lias arrived in Cairo from Suakim who was formerly under Gordon at Khartoum. He gives an account of the f Khartoum not differing from the majority of such naiTatives, except that he states that there was no treachery. The town was carried by as sault, owing to the exhaustion of the soldiers from want of food. He asserts that Gen. Gor don was buried inside the palace, and that the Mahdi was angry at his death. The officer will be tried by court-martial. A snail’s pace need not be used any longer as a term more or less indefinite. By an inter esting experiment at the Terre Haute Polytech nic the other day it was ascertained exactly and reduced to figures, which may now be quoted by persons who favor the use of exact terms. A half dozen of the mollusks were per mitted to crawl between two points ten feet apart, and the average pace was ascertained. Front this it was easy enough to calculate that one snail can craw l a mile in lust fourteen, days. Some months ago Miss Mary Kovar and Charles Vanek, of East Grand Forks, Ilak., were at a social gathering, anh just for fun played the part of bride and groom in a mock mar riage. It happened that the man who person ated the clergyman was a Justice of the Peace, and on the strength of this Yanek, who is an elderly man, recently insisted that Miss Kovar should go with him to his claim shanty as mis tress of his home. She refused, and vehemently denied that she was his wife. Vanek has given notice to the young men in the settlement to keep away from his wife, and proposes to test the legality of the marriage in the courts. A new way of hridling the Anarchistic speeches of Herr Most has been found by the Newark (N. J.) Board of Excise, which at a meeting on Tuesday evening adopted a resolu tion stating that it having come to the know ledge of the board that a person commonly known as John Most had been permitted to ad dress a gathering in a public hall, near Orange, in language of an incendiary and revolutionary character, the board gave notice to any licensed saloonkeeper who might permit such an unlaw ful gathering in any public hall or place for which a license has been issued, that upon the repetition of such a gathering the license of the proprietor would be revoked without further notice. Morris Johnson, of Indianapolis, once a skilled mechanic, lost his place because he lost three fingers from his right hand and could not work. He tried peddling and became discour aged because he made so little. Then he took to drinking, and his wife took in washing. The other day he came home intoxicated, went up stairs, took off his boots, seized his revolver, and softly crept down again. As he entered the kitchen where his wife was washing ’a neighbor entered a side door. She could not see Mrs Johnson, but she saw Mr. Johnson point the revolver at something, and so she jumped and grabhed it. Johnson fired twice, hut the neigh bor’s grasp prevented good aim. and then he ran up stairs and with one more shot killed him self. The noble house of Tollemache—Earls of Dysart—is noted for its peculiarities, in the matter of names for one thing. A junior mem ber a few years ago named his two daughters Mabel Helmingham Ethel Huntlngtower Beat rice Blazenhorrie Evangeline Vise de Louisa de Orleana Plnntngenet, Tordmeg Saxonia, and Lyonesse Matilda Dora Ida Agnes Ernestine Curzon-Paulet Wilbraliam Joyce Eugenie Bent ley Saxonia Eysart Plnntngenet.

Zelenogoroff, who, with eight others, was shot at Rustchuk on Feb. 22 by order of the regents, has given the following Recount of the execu tions: “My husband and the rest were sentenced to death late in the evening of Feb. 21 and shot at I o’clock next morning. On the morning I was prostrated by illness, and my husband had only time to write a few rapidly-ne;idled words before he was led to his grave. I will show you the note, which with the ring on my finger are the only moment oes I now possess. This is what happened. The nine victims were placed before their shallow, short gravea, which were not more than four feet in length and a foot and a half deep. My husband refused to have his eyes handnged, and tore open the tunic of his uniform, that it might not lie riddled, saying that his coat was not guilty or treason. The firing party numbered ninety, and yet my husband was left unscathed after the first volley. At the second and thin! discharge ho was wotuuied and fell. Then the officer in charge advanced to give him the coup tie grace, and emptied five chamticrs of his re volver before the "murder’of my husband was completed. Then the crowd n shed in and hire the boots and clothes off the then warm bodies which were pitched into two small graves and then trodden down. My huslmnd's feet were hacked off so that his poor, mutilated corpse might be made to fit the grave. It was all very horrible. The dogs came in the night and we had to set guardians over the grave.
