Police eGce.-A journeyman blacksmith, whose
name we forbear mentioning, and whose clothes,
although soiled by his repeated trmbles in the
street. bore evident marks of having been well
dressed and well attended by some clever female
hand, presented himself in state Of intoxIca.
ton at the police Office on Friday, and requested
Mr.. Lownds, the presiding magistrate of tho
DAY, to commit him to Bridewell. The reasons
assigned for this request were, that he had been
drunk for a week--that his conduct was hateful
and disgusting to his wife, whom he highly re-.
spected, but whose kindness and attention he
bad much abused-and that his resolution having
forsaken HIM, he had no other means LETT by
which he could be brought to his senses, than by
an actual imprisonment in Brideweii. He i'm
plored commitment as the only remaining alter
native which could save himself and family from
ruin and disgrace. The magistrate, after listen
ing to his story, advised him to go home. and try
what effect little sleep might produce, which he
finally promised to do, but with an iniinatIon
that he would return to the Office unless he got
sober in the course OF the day.-M. I. Com.

a Custom House Puzzle During the SUM-
mer of the year 1928. there was no ice IN the U.
States south Of New England. owing to the mild.
ness Of the preceding winter. and no mode was
presented of supplying the deficiency OF that ne.
cessary article, but that OF importing It, some
enterprizing Yankee brought cargo tn Philadel.
pha from Nova Scotia, a foreign country; and
when the vessel was making her entry at the
custom. house, a question arose whether foreIgn
ice was q commodity liable to, and to what, du-
ty. 1T was not laid down in the law as free
article, nor was il specific or al vaiorem rate
A delay to decide might ruin the importer, as
his cargo might melt away under the hot sun; and
It was finally concluded that it was to be consI-
dered as a non enumerated article. and as such,
liable to 10 per centum on the foreign cost
Here then new question was started by the
Yankee. The ice had real y cost nothing to the
importer, and fifteen per centum on nothing
would amount to nothing But the tustom-house
not relishing the idea OF letting in British manu-
features for nothing. entered into nice cacua.
ton to prove. that although the expense of the
taking on board the cargo was not such part
of lis first cost as was liable to drty, yet that
the act of cutting the ice was a species Of ma
nufacture. which being necessary to convert
the raw material into merchantable article,
gave it a dutiabe value. Here, the Yankee,
who was armed at all points, met the argument
BY showing that the ice was not foreign manu-
facture, but domestic one, inasmuch as it had
been cut by the american industry of his own
crew. This settled the question, and the ice
was admitted without paying any duty.

Boring for Uaer,-In an article on Egypt
mention IS made Of buring for water in the desert
A few years ago. while Disbrow. was boring at
Alexandria, District of Columbia, one of the
young officers Of the Navy, going out to the Me-
diterranean. made very minute inquiries of him
into the details of the operation. expressly with
a view to communicate the information to the
Vice Roy. This is probably the origin OF those
works, which, if persevered in. may arrest the
progressive encroachments of the Desert on the
fertile borders of the Nile. And we are the
more persuaded of the fact Of its originating in
this way. as they have In Europe no meth od OF
settling the iron tubes requisite to keep Oft the
sand as the work progresses. The American
method is in all respects new. 1t is according
to prophecy that Egypt shall revive in power.
and be the medium OF the restoration OF the Jews
to their country. A SUBSCRIBER.

From the Baltimore American Of Juiy ~
The new Tariff Law occupies large space IN
our paper to-day. We have thought not un.ccoPt-
able to our readers, to note the principal points OF
oiheronee between this, and tho Isr,h acts now In
operation. 1t will BIO perceived that the new act
goes into effect ON the third of March next: and
that provision is made that any original packages
ut merchandise imported before the I'D oil march,
and remaining under tho Custom House control on
that day, shall pay only the reduced duties, and
shall DO entitled to the repayment OF all sums e1-
cceding the new rates, which may have boon pre-
viously paid on them.
Notwithstanding the care ofthc Senate IN correct
ing the grammatical construction OF tho Btti as 1t
came from the House of Representatives, will DO
remarked that some gross plumbers still exist The
sixth clause OF the woollcns section continues To
direct the duties be stored instead OF the merchdn
disc, which the draughtsnan probably intoRded.
BY the present (od) Tariff, Wool pays specific
duty of four cents per pound, IN addition to an al
palorcm duty of yffty per een'.
By tho new Tariff, rooi costing under eight cents
pound is free of duty; ovor eight cents is to pay
specific duty of four cents and forty per cent ad-
ualorcm.
On woollens the present minimum system is
abolished. Under the law, plains costing IS
cents, pay fire per cent or loss than fpO cents a
yard; under the old duty they came under the 50
cent. minimum and paid As per cent or 225 cents
yard. Plains under 33I cents, pay by the present
(old) Tariff Ia cents per yard; under the now, five
per cent advalorcm. or not exceeding cents. Un.
dor the present (old) Tariff woollons are rated un-
der a complicated system of nini,nu,ns which make
it tedious TO form complete comparison. The fol.
lowing table will show the alteration male on all
goods costing between ono dollar, and two dollars
and fifty cents the yard. The first column contains
the cost the second the rate Of duty under the
act, and the third the amount of alteration. Under
the present (cld) system, all this range comes un.
der the $50 minimum, and pays $l.l2A yard.
