N. Y*^P. O. Box46t> ‘*’8 sac« work. There was never a time when there was such geDernl and unanimous feeling on the subject of temperauce as them is to-day. The public mind ba» been oonattutly en lightened by numerous books as to the evil results of intoxicating drinks. Id . England they are spending $750,000,000 anuually for intoxicat ing drink, and at least ms much more on account of the result*. There are in this country 300,000 Irish and 500,000 Germans who have been ac. customed to milder drinks in the old country, but who acquire a tnste tor stronger beverages here. In New York there are 10,000 places where liquor is sold, yet tho feeling in New York on the temperance subject was never stronger or more general than it is now. It is held by many that THE PROTECTIVE POLICY. Journals that have {been howlii about promotion for .American indi tries will do well to read the folio ing fact*, which have been compil' by the Vincennes (Ind.) News. Very few persons realize the enor mous tax they are compelled to pai iu consequence of this so-called pro4 tective policy of the United States. ' From statistic* within our reach wq find that the people of the United States use about 120,000,000 of blafgjj kets annually. The duty on tbtm. blanket*,»ft -imported, amounts toj about 86 per c*.nL of ^hat tb would cost free of duty. Hence bnying a blanket nearly ball we for it is tax. In other word* we each year $10,762,688 f< and $7,247,312 tb ' the m as tax, which we would not have to pay were there no duty. On this amount of taxes the government in 1879 got $1,233 that being the amount of duty collected on import ed blankets. Again in the matter of cotton fab rics. The home production of oot ton fabrics for 1879 is put down bv a good statistician at $350,000,000. Allowing that competition reduces this one-third, we still find that the American people pay to the manu factures $87,500,000. The government now get* a reve nue ot $5,577,000 on tbe cotton goods imported. Thus it goes all the way tbrongh. From tbe same source from which the above figures come we learn that the people pay to the maoutactnrera of woolen goods every veir $124,520,- 000. Tbe government gets $16,868,- 860 as tariff on this class of goods, which the consumers also pay. On pig iron we pay Pennsylvania manufacturers a tax of $16,108,505 yearly; to the Government only $613,032. On steel rail* we pay an annual tax of $13,994,876, of which the Gov ernment gets 872,640. Thus on these lour or five classes of goods the people of tbe United Slates pay a tax of $^59,138,064 each year being nearly half what they pay for the articles themselves, while of this sum the government gets bnt little over $34,000,000. And who pays this stupendous tax? It is the farmer and laboring inan, every person who buys a plow or bar row or implement with iron in it; every person who buys a yard of cal ico or muslin, a coat or bat, every man who sells a bu-hel of grain, or sends a drove of hogs to market, pays a part ot it in the increased rate of freight he has to pay.

Tbe agitation against the Chinesd is low, ignorant sind brutal. The prejudice which has excited demagogues of various degrees ot ignorance, from sand-lot spouters to the United States Sena tors, is unworthy of our age and coun try. It is on a par with the preju dices which fcave been held against particular races in all ages of - tbe world, in which tbe Almighty has sometimes been impiously supposed to have a part. Among the races iicb have suffered from such preju- e» in recent times are the Jews, Trish-^ui^-tbe- Africans. There is no sente In the California !hood- lura- cry against the Chinese. These Asiatic* have done great things for that Slate. They are docile, peace able and industrious. They leadft the virtues ot sobriety, influstry and economy. They ask little and are not angrateinl. It is a shame on a coun try which has proudly called herself ‘an asylum for the oppressed of all na tions,’ and which has flourished be cause it has offered equal rights to all men under the law, to go wild on this senseless prejudices against a par ticular race. It is base for public men of large experience to yield to a demagogue’s cry tor the simple pur pose of carrying a doubtful State. That is tbe whole secret of it. Tbe hoodlum’ Yell has frightened the politicians, and both parties fight shy of the question.

Ran lall Has to Say About the Tl/O prisoners, white men, in tha 1 Clarke county jail, pined for liberty till they couldn’t afford to pine any longer, and so, on Wednesday night they went, 'nd stood not upon the order of .their going. Their names were Lura Fisher and John Nolan, and they were in jail to await their trial for the offense of stealing cotton. Their flight will be considered by tho world at forge as a plea ot guilty; but they care little for the world at large so long as they are at large themselves.- ' The door to the cell occupied by these prisoners was fastened with a hasp and staple. Tho staple is rnado of round iron, and 13 nearly or quite an inch in diameter. By some means they broke the staple at tho point where it enters tho wood. This let them out of the cell into a sort of hall which runs beside three or four cells, and which they were at liberty to occupy in the day time. From this hall there was a small barr ed window opening iuto tbe general hall. They sawed one of .the burs in two and got into this hall. This is in the second story, and going through an opeD trap-door to the space be- tweenjthe ceiling and tho roof, they had no difficulty iu getting out upon the roofj'/romjfrom whence they let themselves down by their blankets tied together to serve as a rope. Oae of them who had a fiddle in jail tool: it with him. How they managed to get a purchase on. that staple 30 as to break it, and to saw tho window bar in two, without being discovered, is a mystery. An examination of these points every day would reveal the fact if they had been tampered with. P. WML, THE OLD RELIABLE Boot &Shoe Manufacturer.

They take bread irectly from her bauds, and turtles will allow her to take them entirely out of tbe water, and while she holds them in one band they will eat with great voracity from the other. But tiie eels were the most amusing.

While I think, it strange that a man whose constitution wa* formed by physical labor on the farm, and wfio."u]S'lo a year ago, never had C day ot ill-health, should be afflicted with an inexplicable disorder of the blood, I tesign myself into the hands of my Creator, who will do with me what seems best to Him, and either raise me up for further usefulness, or summon me away. I await with pa tience cither event.* , iWhile it is true that Mr. Hill niakea, no complaint of his bodily suffering, ills mind, never more brilliant or suggestive, chafes againBt restraint, and he has to be checked by his devoted wife when some animated theme spurs him to copious and eloquent utterance. He welcomes the visas of bis friends and insists upon'earnest conversation, but I am not so sure that this exertion is beneficial, to him. He is like a caged lion, and regrets that he could not have participated in recent senato rial debates. He is full of a speech the political condition of Virginia. ‘It ought to be made,’ he says, ‘but I do not know whether I will be able to make it or not.’ I told him that the republican congressmen expressed much sympa thy for him, sud be smiled when repeated wbat oue of the stalwarts had said in my presence. It was to the effect that nature could show no stranger paradox when sparing the longue ot a most offensive babbler (I omit the name), and making war on the most eloquent tongue in tbe United Status. The doctors who have had Mr. Hili in charge express the opiuion|ihat his tongue is proba bly secure from further disaster. They also think that the wound in his throat will heal healthily, and that the chan ges are greatly in favor of a gradual and permanent cure. But Mr. Hill has all along insisted upon the. frank est statement, and, from tbe begin ning, assured Mr. Gross that he could endure even a {death sentence from bi* lips without fliouhing. It was in expressibly pathetic to see so much intellectual and physical power held to gr,“LTi?°eV 1 fllS!S‘.g l erectly surrendering bis will to that of God, and content to abide the best or worst result. He is missed from the senate by everybody, and thure will be general rejoicing when Mr. Frye shall have no further reason to say, as he is called upon to vote : 1 am paiied with the senator from Georgia, Mr. Hill,” and when “our Ben,” alongside of Senator Browu can answer tor himself and Georgia.

In a mat ter of this kind Grant is one of oar deepest thinkers. ‘Should I die in Charleston,’ the late Bishop Lynch directed in his will, *1 wish a single solemn high mass to be celebrated according to the rubrics of the Pontifical; but neither there nor abroad do I wish a funeral ser mon. I distinctly prohibit it. I wish to sink quietly tin the grave, ho; ' an able bishop will take my place and correct,my manifold errors. I deprecate all costliness of display, butfl do entreat my clergy often and often to offer up the holy sacrifice for the repose of my soul.’ These direc tions were followed with acrapulona care in the funeral services of tbe late bishop at.Charleston, S.
