Chicago is preparing for the next census by annexing surrounding towns, with an estimated population of !00,0(Xi. She is anxious to rank next after New \ ork, and may do so. The drawings for the new public building at Charleston please all who see them. The structure is to be Gothic in design, and con structed of white marble, if the cost of that material be not too great. There is consolation for the red-headed girls. A dramatic critic d-scribes Mrs. Potter, just now' the most famous American beauty, as a slight young woman with red hair. She may make it the fashion. Some New Yorkers are said to be building a flying machine, to be driven by electricity. The community could afford to pay Herr Most and a few of x-u immediate followers a good round sum to make an experimental trip in it. The Commercia 1 Cable Company has in creased its stock from $4,000,(Xk) to $8,000,- 000. Perhaps this increase of capital is in tended to meet the expenses of the cable war, as no announcement of an extension of lines is made. The Mormon., have come to t he conclusion that Turkey is the only country whose laws will not bother them, and have asked per mission to establish a colony in that coun try. The Sultan ought to make them heartily welcome. The New York city newspapers are get ting to be quite warlike, but there is no probability that there will be any blood spilled. Some of Mr. Nicoll’s newspaper ad vocates are doing him more harm than good. Beware of a newspaper that seeks to boom itself when it is pretending to boom some popular favorite. The grand jury at Wolverhampton, Eng., has appealed to tho governing committee of the public library of that city, to with draw from its shelves all copies of Andrew Carnegie’s “Triumphant Democracy.” The result will doubtless be that the book will attract more attention than ever. The grand jury advertises it very widely by its action. _____ Copper has advanced 40 per cent, in price In the last few weeks. It is interesting in this connection to remember that the pro duction of this metal in the United States is in the hands of one or two great com panies, protected by a high tariff, who are said to be able in some mysterious way to sell copper more cheaply in foreign than in home markets. It has long been thought that among the editors of Western frontier newspapers was to be found the greatest capacity for the use toward each other of the abusive epi thets with which the English language is so liberally supplied. This is a mistake. The men who edit the great dailies of New York now take the lead in this accomplishment of the blackguard. Stephen Girard, most of whose immense fortune went to found the college called by his name at Philadelphia, has been dead more than fifty years, but a suit has just been instituted by some of bis relatives to recover a part of the estate for their own use. The wills of dead millionaires seem to be the hardest things in the world to prop erly construe and execute, John C. New, one of the leaders of In diana Republicans, says it would be suicidal for his party to nominate Blaine next year, and an Ohio Republican says if Sherman makes a fight for the delegation from that State he will certainly lose it. It liegins to look as if- the Republicans were despairing of success with the old leaders, and when the time comes will select new men. Frightened by the concessions to Count de Mitkiewiez, Loudon merchants have formed au association to push their trade energetically in China. They fear that the supremacy they have long enjoyed in that market is threatened. This action on their part will do much to convince incredulous Americans that the Philadelphia syndicate, of which De Mitkiewiez was the agent, has got something valuable. Mr. Powderly failed in his effort to oust Barry from the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, and some recent utter ances of the latter will deepen the regret that he failed. He not only expressed sym pathy for the condemned Anarchists but for anarchism, and expressed the belief that the murderous Haymarket bomb was thrown by detectives. He does not give any reason for this belief. As might, per haps. be expected, Mr. Barry is also an in fidel. Altogether, he has succeeded in making it plain that he is very much out of place in the governing council of ail order of law-abiding workingmen. Sea Coast Defenses. One of the most important questions be fore last Congress was that of sea coast de fenses. It was quite fully discussed, and there appeared to be but little if any doubt that the work of constructing defenses for our sea coast cities should be begun at once. In fact, it was said with very general ap proval that a portion of the surplus in the Treasury could not be more wisely used than in protecting our almost defenseless har bors. One of the reasons, doubtless, why there has been so much delay in this matter, is the feeling of uncertainty with regard to the kind of defenses that it would bo advisable to adopt. Experiments are being made all the time with torpedoes ami dynamite guns, and results are liable to be obtained at any time that would change the whole plan of coast defenses. Another reasou is that, defenseless as our seaports are, there is widespread confidence in our ability to meet any emergency that may arise. Notwithstanding the assertion that is frequently made that England's great iron-clads could force their wuy into our harbors and destroy our seaport cities, there is a belief in the public mind that some way would be discovered to prevent them. Doubtless the present Congress will take hold of the sea coast defense question in a business-like way. Admiral Porter and Gen. Duane, Chief of Engineers, in their annual reports deal with this question very thoroughly. They point out the necessity for beginning the work of building fortifi cations at once at a half dozen or more dif ferent places. In fact, Gen. Duane has very little to say about river aud harbor im provements. He devotes almost the whole ! of his report to sea coast defenses. Avery good beginning has tieen made towards budding a navy, but the work can scarcely be said to have fairly begun. Mil lions more must follow the millions that have already been spent, and even then we shall not be able to meet upon the sea several of the other nations on terms of equality. There is no immediate danger of this country becoming involved in a war, but war sometimes comes when leiis ■ expected. The Canadian newspapers are talking of the probability of war between this country and England if the recently appointed com mission should not succeed in settling the fishery trouble This probability may hasten the action of Congress with regard to sea coast defenses. The New York Quarantine. It would be interesting t<> know the truth about the management of quarantine at New York and the accommodations which are provided for those who are held in quarantine on Hoffman and Swinburne islands. Several of the New York capers, notably the Star and Timm, insist that the accommodations on the islands are not sufficient, and that the means pro vided for preventing the introduction of cholera into the country are far from being satisfactory. These broad statements based upon alleged facts, and upon the opinions of several Philadelphia physicians who have inspected the quarantine arrangements at New York, have induced ex-Senator Thomas C. Platt .the President of the Quarantine Commission, to rush into print, and declare that the publi cations derogatory to the management of the New York quarantine are falsehoods, and have no other purpose than to bring a bout the removal of Republicans who have control of the quarantine, and the appoint ment of Democrats in their places. Mr. Piatt further hints that the Philadelphia doctors were influenced in making the statements they did by a desire to increase the business of Philadelphia at the expense of that of New York. It is remarkable that so level-headed a man as Mr. Platt is believed to lie should be guilty of the folly of publishing such stuff He accomplishes nothiug beyond creating the impression that he wants to keep in office the Republican quarantine officials, whether they do their whole duty or not. He admits that the accommodations on Hoffman and Swinburne islands are not what they ought to b , and that the cholera infected immigrants who are now detained there are without a good,matiy conven iences which are necessary for health and comfort. Mr. Platt also asserts that the Governor has vetoed bills con taining appropriations for the erec tion of hospitals on the islands, and hints that he did so to bring the man agement of the Quarantine Commission into disrepute. In view of the fact that the cholera which broke out in different places in this country in 1878 was brought here by a vessel which was noticeable for cleanliness, and on which there had been no sickness daring the voyage, Mr. Platt’s reasons for permitting the Independente, a vessel with immigrants from places where cholera existed, to go to her wharf after only t wentj-- four hours detention, is certainly not satis factory. The shaking up which the quar antine officials at New York are getting w’ill probably have the effect of making them a little more careful. If it does, those newspapers which have been stirring up this quarantine matter will deserve the thanks of the country. The Morning News has received front the publishers, Messrs. Mclntosh & Davis, of the Albany News and Advertiser , a neatly printed pamphlet, entitled “A Hand Book of Albany and Dougherty County, Georgia.” An edition of 10,01)0 copies of this book has been printed, for free distribution, and paid for by the city of Albany and the county of Dougherty. What is strange ’n such a pamphlet is that it is not an adver tising scheme, gotton up in the interest of some private speculator, but a well written book, giving an account of the advantages and inducements offered by Albany and the county in which it is lo cated to R ose seeking homes or investments the South. Such a book, widely distrib uted, cannot fail to be of great benefit to the enterprising people who got it up. and they will find that the SI,OOO invested in printers’ iuk will bring them good returns. A. R. Parsons, the condemned Anarchist, has written a book, which he hopes will make a little fortune for his wife and chil dren after his death. Perhaps, in his im mense egotism, he ranks himself in public estimation with Gen. Grant, whose book, also written with the hand of death upon him, has brought a comfortable support to his widow. Every one will hope that Mrs. Parsons and her children may find the means of livelihood, but it will hardly be furnished by sales of her husband’s defense of anarchism. It is denied that Secretary Whitney has any intention to resign. Ho is too proud of what he has accomplished to leave his task of creating a navy unfinished. TIIE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER i, 1887. A Little Tariff Talk. Gov. Hill, of New York, mode a ringing speech in Brooklyn on last Tuesday night. The points he made were' strong ones and he supported them with arguments which were convincing. He called attention to that clause in the last national Republican platform in which the Republican party plodges itself to cor rect the inequalities of the tariff. He wanted to know what the Republican party had done toward keeping that p.edge. The truth is that it not only has done noth ing but it has obstructed every attempt of the Democratic party to correct the ine qualities of the tariff. Whenever the Democratic party has proposed a tariff measure, looking to the correction of these inequalities, it has been met by the Republican cry that any interference with the tariff would dis turb the great’ business interests of the country, and would be followed by financial disaster and industrial ruin. The Republi can party also persistently asserts that the Democratic party aims to reduce the labor of this country to the condition of the pauper labor of Europe. The fact that the Republican party nledges itself to correct inequalities in the tariff is an admission that such inequalities exist. Is not that party then dishonest I It not only refuses to do what it has pledged itself to do, but also hinders the Democratic party from doing it. As for the Democratic party wanting to reduce the labor of this country to a less desirable condition than it now occupies, that is all nonsense. The Democratic party is the party of the laboring man. Its ranks are filled with those who earn their bread by manual labor. Its aim is to improve the condition of workingmen, and promote their welfare in every possible way. in a speech lately delivered in New York, Senator Hiscock said that the Republican party was the real anti-poverty society. In one respect it is. It is filled with rich men —men who have accumulated millions from manufacturing industries which a e pro tected by the tariff. But the workingmen of these millionaire manufacturers, are they rich' Do they share in the profits which the protective tariff makes possible; Asa matter of fact as the years go by they see themselves growing poorer, and the number of comforts of life which they enjoy de creasing. The Republican party is the friend of workingmen only so lar as it can use them, and no further. That this is true must be aoparent to every workingman who gives the history of the Republican party careful study. Increasing Rainfall. It theory with some Western people that the annua! rainfall on the dry plains of that region is increasing as the railroads multiply. Evidence is strong that the rain fall is increasing, but the railroads aro re sponsible for it only in the sense that they ojien the lands to settlement. If it is true that there lias been a steady increase the most reasonable explanation of it is. per haps, to be found in the increase of the num ber of trees which lias followed the settle ment of the plains, the upturning of the soil by the farmer’s plow, and the growing of green crops. These things are thought not only to have a tendency to store moist ure in the soil, but to attract it. Gen. Morrow, of the United States army, has had a long experience on the Western plains, so that his testimony is peculiarly valuable. In a recent address at an agricultural fair in Cheyenne county, on the extreme west ern border of Nebraska, he stated that more than twenty vears ago he led soldiers through that region, when there was no set tlement for 500 miles east. He then ob served that the men could sleep in the open air from May to November, and their blan kets were not dampened by dews. Tb:- vear he saw dews in August as heavy as in States east of the Mississippi. At Cam) Douglass the rainfall in 1861 was only eleven inches, while for niue months of the present year it was fourteen inches, and it may be safely stated to have doubled since the year first name’. The effect was seen in the exhibitions at the fair of farm products of every variety suited to the lati tude The country is rapidly filling up with homestead settlers. The same state of things, in a less degree, is shown in Texas. Years ago the plains of the northern part of the State were looked upon as valuable only for grazing purposes, being too dry for profitable agriculture. Now the whole regiou is becoming thick!v populated, iarge towns aro springing up, all varieties of Southern field products are grown, and cattlemen are being forced into the extreme western and northwestern por tions of the State, where they may in time be followed by the farmer, as climatic con ditions change. Though no statistics are given, it is the common opinion that the amount of rainfall has increased largely. This is true, also, of Western Kansas. It has only of recent years that gov ernment observation stations have been es tablished in any part of the vast regiou, comprising one-third of the territory of the United States, which was once looked upon as practically a desert and incapable of development. It is, therefore, hard to obtain exact knowledge of the progressive improveinen- in climatic conditions, but their carefully kept notes will prove of value hereafter. It is to be hoped they will prove beyond dispute that the popular belief is well founded. It may be that In time the country west ot the Mississippi may be as thickly populated as that east of it. The wretchedness and suffering among the families of the 1,300 employes of the bankrupt National Rubber Coippany at Bristol, R. 1., are described by a Boston paper as extreme. Women and children are crying for bread, and the storekeepers of the town are threatened with financial ruin, because they will not refuse credit to their starving customers. Wages for several months are due its workmen by the com pany, and it seems to be hopelessly involved. Protection and a ring did not save it from a disaster which involved hundreds of poor people. The Lehigh Coal Company has finally found a seam of coal in the search for which it had expended SBO,OOO. It is at tho great depth of 1,089 feet, and is estimated to bo worth $3,000,000. The great depth at which anthracite is being mined contrasts sharply with the shallow Southern mines. Exploration at greater depths in tho latter may lead to valuable developments, but will hardly be necessary for many years to come. The Republicans have a very large ma jority in Philadelphia, hut tho Democrats seem to have them on the run in this cam paign. It is unsafe for even the strongest machine to defy public opinion in its nomi nations. CURRENT COMMENT. A May Make Trouble. From tlif Hi emaa/ham Aye (Deal.)

THE DECLINE OF KISSING. Some of the Reasons Why It Has Fallen Into Desuetude. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Kissing is out of style. Nobody does it now but sweethearts, young children, and teachers. The first blow was struck by the medical pro fession about the time of the decease of Princess Alice. Ever since the practice has been de nounced. and in families where proper respect is paid to hygiene, children are cautioned against promiscuous kissing. In society a woman is not kissed twice in a season. When an old friend is greeted and she advances with her lips the victim turns her face and the carer s falls askance. Possibly the very woman who is opposed to the practice takes the initiative, but her lips never meet lips. She may kiss within a fraction of your mouth—kiss your chin, vour cheek, or your forehead; kiss your “eyelid into repose/’or kiss your hair—but if she has had any training, socially, she will never kiss {'our mouth. The repugnance to kissing is due largely to the academic training. In nearly all the famous colleges for women there is a social teacher, or doerress, in physiology; and in the so-called oral recitations the pernicious elects of osculation are considered at great length. By way of tolerating w hat seems to be u necessary evil, various theories are advanced and various provisions advocated. The girl who comes from Smith College. Northampton, kisses on the oblique line that falls from the left corner of your mouth, but when kissed, is so adroit in the way she jerks her head that the point of salutation may lie found on a radius from the ot her demure little mouth. The Vassar graduate kisses more than her Smith College friend, but the chin is her choice, as you will observe in an attempt to salute her. The seniors from Wesley press their kisses high up on the face, almost under the sweep of the eye lash. and the Lake Forest autl Harvard Annex maidens kiss at a point equally distant from the nose and eat*. Nothing is more dainty than the kiss of a well-bred chaperone, who, mindful of the time and trouble spent over the powder box, gently presses her lips on your hair just north of your ear. The minister's wife is another sweet soul, who knows where a kiss will do the least harm, and her favorite met hod is an air kiss, with a gentle pressure of her cheek to your cheek. The woman of fashion who patronises you. and lets you visit her while she is at her siesta, kisses you anywhere about the triangle between the eye, ear. and hair line. Bhe has learned long ago about the incompatibility of haste and grace, and as she advances you see her lips turn in. and simultaneous with the kiss is a thick, viscous noise that sounds like the tearing of a middle-aged marshmallow drop. Married women are more addicted to kissing than single ones, as every lady knows who goes calling, and they are the very kisses that a young woman least enjoys for the reason their lips are always wet. Kissing the face of an ir regularly powdered soapy smelling dame is about as unsavory a pastime as gathering a bou quet, of dandelions. The West Side women otffkiss any other division of Chicago. The South Sillers kiss discreetly and the belles and ma trons along the lake shore are too eosmo|x>litan ro waste their sweetness. Their greeting is the handshaking prescribed by London and indorsed bv the patricians >f Newport and Murray Hill Meet a Kush or Cass street lady and she frankly proffers her easily gloved hand and shakes from the shoulder to a one-two count. Her nretty cousin on B<!lveue avenue and lake shore drive Is more artistic, and her arm is rigid from the elbow up. Go still further north, and the carefully schooled young wife and her queenly sister shake hands, but never an inch of t ue arm. Andrew Johnson's Fondness for Sherry. From the Washington Critic. If Dickens* fat boy bad been colored he would have looked very much like Col. Lament s door keeper, Arthur, who has been in the White I louse for a Quarter of a ceutury, Arthur was he White House butler when* Johnson was Hivsideut, and he says: “He (the Piesident) liked good liquors, but he did not drink too much, and he was especially toud of sherry. I guess I remember his sherry mighty well/’ Arthur went on. smacking his lips* “Bale sherry! Have you ever drunk it? And Mistah loh u.son always had the best. I had the keys of the pantry and 1 served all the wines. I re in-miter once we got a case of seuppernong vine from North Carolina. It was presented u> the President. I brough him in -one one day. He tasted it, and then handed the glass back to me saying; ‘Arthur, that wine is from North Carolina, and you are from North . ‘arolina; I guess that wine w ill suit you l>etter than it does me. and you make take it.' I carted those two dozen bottles home that night, and let me tell you that seuppernong wine w'as •; tod. “I remember the time when they were trying to get Stanton out of the War Department. We had three or four Cabinet meetings a day, and every Cabinet meeting I would have io bring in a lunch, a part of which was always ome of this pale sherry. You remember Sta - son shut himself up in the War Department and he wouldn't let any of Johnsons appointees get possession. I remember how old Mr. Thomas, when he was appointed Secretary of War, was got out of Stanton's office by him. ild man Thomas liked good whisky.

From the Chicayo Inter-Ocean Bind up a wreath and give it me Before this dull day closes, And in the garland let there be The thorns as well as roses: Weave violets in and greenest bays Weave willow for my sorrow. Sad flowers for the yesterday, White lilies for to-morrow. White lilies, for they tell of peace Beyond the gates of even Where whispers of the soul's release Seem mystic hints of heaven. And yesterday—but that has gone, And so I needs must borrow A hope of that swift coming dawn. The proatise of to-morrow. Forever more to-morrow lends Bright visions of completeness; Tin-- levers, and :he steadfast friends With faces full of sweetness; But backward all seems dim and gray, And vaguely touched with sorrow; I care not for your yesterday If I may have to-morrow. The past is past—ah: dead indeed, I weep not for its going. Its phantoms weird no more I heed Than west winds wildly blowing; Press onward, aye. and upward, heart, While I my gladness borrow, For hope and I shall never part While I can have to-morrow. Ernest McOaffney. Gave the Crook a Pointer. From the Chicayo Journal. Two gentlemen neighbors happening to sit next to each other on the street car on the morning trip to their offices, one temarked to the other,that be should lx* bothered all day be cause lie had left his watch under his pillow. Then they naturally fell into a conversation ns to how they disposed of their valuables at night At the next street corner a man got off, went back to the house of the owner of the watch, wiiom he knew by sight and reputation, and represented himself to the lady of the house us a messenger from her husband sent for his watch left under his pillow. She. finding the valuable in that place, unsuspectingly handed it to the thief, who ran no risk whatever of detec tion, and deliberately walked away with his booty. Another case was that of a lady, some years ago, who, while ascending on the eltvo ter of one of our largest dry goods stores, sud denly discovered that she had left her silver portemonnaic at some counter. Acash hoy was in the elevator going up to the top floor with them. "Send this boy to the desk for it," said the lady's friend Thereupon the lady described the purse, its contents and its inscription. The boy left the goods he was carrying at thair des tination, received his reti r.i instructions, and then went to th • and -sk. He was just a moment too late. ‘'l have just given that purse to a woman who descii >ed it accurately," said the clerk at the disk ''and, she went immediately out of the door." The owner of the purse should have le’ hough I h -rselt how many audi tors she had in the elevator. Eig Baltimoreans. From the Baltimore Newt. The average Baltimorean feeds well, and under the persuasive influence of the gentle ter rapin, the gamey canvashack ami the pensive oyster, his waist expands and the lines of his form extend to take in his well rounded propor tions. Col. Louis Strasburger said, “there were five measures taken out of our establishment in the last thirty days which I think were the largest ever taken 111 this city, considering the age of the persons measured.

The America's cup committee will prepare and print a complete history of the recent trial contests and the late famous victory. Congregationalism is growing in Pennsylva nia. It has now ninety-five churches in that State and has made a net gain of 80 per cent, in church membership since 1880. The Strasburg library, which was destroyed by fire during the Franco-Prussian war, now contains 600,000 volumes, a large part of which have been given to the institution. A large pelican, with a bill as long as a coal-dealer, was captured near Crete, Neb., last week. It measured 6 feet from tip to tip of wings, 5 feet from the tip of its bill to the tip of it* tail, and weighed 12 pounds. A wax figure of Pranzini, the famous French murderer, has been added to the chamber of horrors in Mine. Taussand's exhibition in don. The clothes are like those worn by him on the morning of his execution, and the figure has been placed near the guillotine, which is an exact model of the one which sliced his head off. William Russell Sever, the oldest graduate of Harvard College, died at Plymouth, Mass., Sunday, aged 96. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather all graduated from Harvard. He graduated in 1811 in t lie same class with Edward Everett, Dr. William Perry and Prof. John White Webster, who murdered Dr. Park man. He was a bachelor. There w#h an extraordinary drought in ore part of China this year. On July 5 H. E. Sheuf, the taotai of Cheloo customs and Cheloo circuit, issued a proclamation prohibiting the killing of four-footed beasts, and he, with some officials, went to the Tien Hon temple to pray the gods for rain. On the following day there was a gentle rain, and on the thirteenth a heavy shower. Cookey Gamm and Shoo Peterside, sons of Ja Ja, the great Oil river sovereign, will spend sev eral years in England studying branches of learning not taught in their native mangrove swamps. It was Cookey Gamin who was round by a traveler last year sprawled out under a palm tree with scarcely a thread of clothing on diligently studying algebra. Shoo Peterside has also displayed commendable zeal in the pursuit of knowledge. During a recent sitting of the Council-General of the Bouches-du-Khone, a committee ap pointed to examine the finances found that 800 francs a year was paid to the “guardians of the tower." Investigation showed that the tower had been suppressed since 1867; a total, there fore, of 10,000 francs having been paid for guarding nothing for twenty years. At St. Cloud an employe of the palace still received a salary for waxing the floor. The palace was bombarded into ruins in 1870. Frank M. Taylor, the superintendent of the great ocean pier at Long Branch, carries a unique silk umbrella. The handle is topped , with hammered gold from ass piece found on the beach last winter. The stick was cut from one of the leaves of an ebony table which came over with the Puritans in the Mayflower. The ribs are covered with black silk taken from the dress worn by a lady at the time she was pulle l from before an engine in time to save her life. The ease, or cover, is made from cloth from the catafalque in the funeral car of President Gar field. Large consignments of whisky of American manufacture sent to Germany for storage two years ago are now returning on the European steamships, the freight both ways and the stor age being considerably less than the cost of keeping the bailors in l>onded warehouses in this country. During the summer the owners of large distilleries shipped their products to Bremen ad other ports for storage and to avoid onerous revenue charges. Much ot the whisky exported i- now lx*ing returned, the limit of tune it is allowed to remain out of the country having expired. Frederick Bennett of Newton county. 111., courted Anna Haywood: and as her father ob jected to the young man she eloped with him to the State line, and, going 100 feet into Indiana, the young folks were married under the stars. Two days afterward Anna went home to get her clothing, and did not return to her husband. Bennett then brought habeas corpus proceed ings against Haywood to get possession of his wife; but when t he case came on Anna surprised Frederick by going into court and swearing that her father,wasn't keeping her at home; that she luid had enough of Bennett, and wouldn't live with him any way. Miss Louisa Alcott gives the foliowtng ad vice to girls: “Girls, don't be in haste to wed. Build up healthy bodies by good food, plenty of exercise and sleep. Learn all the useful house hold arts before you attempt to make a home. * Cultivate your minds \\ ith the best books, that you may l><* able to teach your children much that school training alone will never give you. Choose your amusements wisely, for you must have pleasure, but need not waste itself in harmful frivolity. Above all. select your friends with care. Avoid girls who live only for fashion, lliitatiou and enjoyment, and use the privilege all women may claim to decline the acquaintance of young men whose lives will not i>ear inspection." Mrs. Richardson, a member of the Salvation Army in Kansas ( ity, has attracted attention by her Sam-Jonesque preaching. Hr? are some of her reputed remarks: “I haven't got any use for these kind of people that keep their Chris tianity in a bandbox six days in the week and take it out on the sev nth." “You can't get Christianity into a fool any more than you can get bologna sausage from a rattlesnake.” “Do you think that a man with a chew of tobacco in nis mouth and a 1 o’tie of whisky in his pocket is a fit temple for the spirit of God ?" “I wo dd try to get into heaven just to keep out of the company there is in hell, if for no other reason.” "Jay Gould will have to take his brimstone straight, just the same as the poorest criminal." “The highest mountain in America” must now be changed from Mount St. Elias to Mount Wrangle, a little to the north. Several of these mountains have been newly measured. Mount Hood, one • “roughly - ’ estimated at. 17,000 feet, then "closely’ at 1(1.000. was brought down by triangulation to 13,000; an aneroid harotnett r made it 12.000. and a mercurial barometer 11,255. Mount St. Elias, estimated by D'Agelet to be 12.- G'2feet, is triangulated by Mr, Baker to 10.500. It now appears that Mount Wrangle, lying to the north, rises 18,400 feet above Copper river, which is in turn 2.000 feet above the sea at that point. If this holds true Mount Wrangle is at least 1,000 feet higher than any other peak in North America. It lies within the United States boundary. Homestake mine, near Peadwood, has a rail road twenty-two miles long to the pineries where fuel is obtained, and the road ends at the top of a high bill just above Hie mill. Here the wood is dumped into a chute made of heavy logs lined with iron. The logs descend with tremen dous velocity, and on reaching the mouth of the chute leap out into the air. pass over tlit? mill, and land some 250 feet from the foot of the bluff. For hours a perfect stream of logs passes over the heads of the men at work below, and to a newcomer it seems sufficiently dangerous, but no accident ever occured, and one soon gets over the nervous feeling. Five thousand cords of wood are piled at a time by this arrangement, which saves-tens of thousands of dollai-s an nually to the company, disposing of 80,000 cords a year without any cost for piling. Concerning the decline of business on the Ohio river, the I.ouisville Commercial says; “Thirty live years ago we saw from ten to fifteen steamboats at the wharf at Southland loading cotton, pig iron. etc. Wo saw 1.500 to 2.000 men at work in the construction of three big steamboats. Saw mills, foundries and other manufactories were in successful operation. Cumberland river was alive with big. fine stenmboatsgoingnnd coming and the commerce and trade of that stream alone wus greater than that of the Ohio river to-day. Uncle Sam sends a lot of inferior engineers nnd inexperienced mariners out here to waste a big “wail" of the people's money on ‘ -improvements." They did it. The Ohio river was ruined, bars were formed, channels changed, furms washed nwnv islands made, the Cumberland river closed up at its mouth, anil Smithland reduced to a dead village, ail on account of the ignorance and inexiierience of men who were better at wasting money than they were at improving the navi gation of rivers. It's a dam shame.” It is claimed that the new system of certifica tion of cotton, now being tried at the New York Cotton Exchange, gives greater advantages to buyers than to sellers It is believed by many that the increased trading is largely due to this new plan, by which the purchaser of a contract receives a warehouse receipt with the cm tin cate of gia le attached and ihe weight stamped on the receipt. Thisnoe pt a-id certificate of grude are a good delivery for one year from date. The grade is guaranteed by the New York Cotton Exchange inspection fund This can be passed with the same facility as a cer tificate of stock, and offers so sav cotton iut n of high standing—a secur.ty second to none us a collateral for hanks or investors. Heretofore under the old system a seller might give notice of his intention to deliver 25,000 or 5(1.000 bales in one day, when it would be phi sically impos sible either for the seller to deliver or the buver to receive, the cotton. Under the new system the seller must have his cotton all weighed sampled, stored nnd classed, and the quantity which The buyer can receive simply depends upon the amount of money ut his command BAKING POWDER.
