Mr. Chairman, now proceed to state my third prope-
son, to wit: That sound policy requires that should
produce what the territory of country will produce
cheapl and receive from other countries what we
cannot raise except at too great an expense.
The persistent violation of this principle has cost
nations millions of treasure. Great Britain in her
tempt to produce cotton both at home and in her India
possessions has expended millions of money She has
own hemp, which she has now wisely abandoned.
France has shown her disregard of this principle in her
endeavors to raise sugar and cotton upon her soil and in
climate unsuied to both and we have shown the same
folly in attempting to produce silks and other art-
Giles
TAT this ponl the hammer fell the hour for the closing
the debate upon the bill having arrived but Mr. WAKE
MAN was permitted to state his other propositions which
are as follow:
Fourth. That where it has been demonstrated by a
long experience of many years that given article
except at heavy expense and in limited quantities. Alto
gether inadequate to domestic consumption, sound policy
requires that the duty upon that article should be gradu
ally withdrawn, especially if it is article of prime
necessity.
Fifth That nasmuch as the support of the Govern
men is derived from duties upon imports it is sound
policy the imposition of those duties discriminate
favor of manufactures and against the pauper
labor of Europe.
Srth. That Great Britain having made free the raw
material used in her manufactures sound policy requires
that we should admit the materials used in
manufactures free of duty when it be done consist
ent with vested interests

WHAT DRNk.-It appears from the report of Sec
rotary Guthrie of the Treasury Department that dur
ing the year ending June So 1885, $40 gallons Of
wne spirits and malt liquor have been imported into
this country. The total value of these drinksbes is
Sc, 176 9s9-a snug liquor bill for Uncle Sam to foot up
Brandy regret to say, forms the largest item in the
bill 1,715717 gallons have been consumed at cost OF
nearly 100000. The grain spirits imported fall
little below brandy in quantity, 5S2 lS2 gallons but
much below in value, (S772,276 Nearly million OF
" other spirits besides consumed, at an expense OF
$268 900. On the other hand, glad to see that
claret and other wines flow in wholesome stream thus
indicating growing inclination for continental oeve
RACES and contipental temperance Over million ana
half gallons of caret and nearly 100000 gallons OF
other red wines imported, at an average cost Oh
about $3.50 000 We have drank also l0Oo gallons
of English and Scotch ale which is another encouraging
symptom showing growing appetite Tor matt liquors
in preference to perncious spirits The mportaons Of
Madeira Port and Sicily wines have fallen Of 4: the sup
ply of sherry however has increased from gallons
in 1S43 to 100000 gallons in 1856 The recent modif
cations in the tariff win undoubtedly increase Uncle
Sans consumption of imported drnkables: is to be
regretted we think that all duties on light wines, ale,
sc. had not been removed.-Ner York ksror.

ssPUNCH's genial reflections on the restoration
of the ship Resolute we must not omit, although
they have become little passe since they first
reached us:
g The REsoLUTE."--Wel, we have been invaded by
Jonathan, and all of Englishers taken prisoners
Capt Harstene and his ovia gallant crew have carried
away the best part of the Britshersther hearts We
have struck to the generosity of the stars and stripes
and only pant with feeling to avenge ourselves by the
best and greatest of gratitude that destiny may yet
have in store for US. The Resozue Waif and stray
amidst mountainous cebergs, rubbed and barked and
little and not little nipped picked up by Amerl-
hands, carried into American port and forthwith
locked in American Dock to be returned by son Jona
than to daddy john spck and span when she first
turned her bows from her English home for Arctic seas
There fine music going whilst the Resolute lay in
that American dock. Every blow of the shipwrights
hammer struck note of lasting peace between the two
countries.
Capt. HARrsTENE in his manly sailor-like speech
with the smack of arue salt in it, hoped that the old
tmbers of the Resolute would float for many day
Sure that they will float with still enduring
strength the worse but all the better for the bit OF
timber grown on the soil of America that may be here
and there found in her English Sweet and es-
peciay fragrant the pitch that newly caulksd herpitch
tapped from American pines.
Capt. Harstene has departed and is now on the At.
Antic Our regret is that he could not have been brought
face to face with all England; that every Engshman
could have had grip Of his sailorhand This was not
to be, butwe give the hint to the Lords of the Adml
ralty-why not further perpetuation of the memory
of the gallant fellows mission, why not christen the
next English ship launched the Hartstenee Lengthen
the of the Resoute into the Resolute Jonaaan-we
not particular In this suggestion Punch has done
his duty let the Lords Of the Admiralty initiate Punch.

that he had noticed striking resemblance between Mrs
Gusts and his own mother The latter had been dead
for nearly forty years. and he had been very
traveller but he had seen face towards which
his heart seemed to yearn SO strongly noticed the
fact that could hardly keep his off Of her. and he
thought proper apologize for his apparent rudeness
by abiding to the emotions which her presence excited
in his breast He subsequently accounted to me Tor the
resemblance by analyzing the peculiar expression Oh
the eyes, caused by unusually long eyelashes, all OF
which seemed to be confirmed, in my opinion by the
dreamy expression Of his own eyes. From the tone OF
his conversation it apparent that his admiration fer
q true woman was unbounded He said that ne never
tired of looking at them 1t had always been his CUSTOM
when travelling over the world to take particular notice
of the women whom he met especially If they were
beautiful and amuse himself by composing stories,

figured
when questioned as to his Of writing, Mr..
Irving gave me the following particulars He usually
wrote with great rapdity Some OF the most popular
in his books written with the utmost
and the more unnteresting those which had
cost him the most trouble At one time he had to labor
very hard bring up part OF essay to the level
of another He allowed thing to 60 to press,
however without writing it or overlooking 1t second
time he was always careful about that Several of the

one time when in England, Thomas Moore called upon
him when deeply engaged in writing story, and as the
poet saw page after page Of Mr.. Evings manuscript

it would have been pity to disturb under such
circumstances. The first things he printed
