The Rev. Kalloch has, it appears, been
employed to deliver lecture before the
Young Mems Benevolent Association of
New York. As that gentleman, when he
leaves Boston on such errands, is liable
to get into situations thought to be un-
seemly in members of his profession, it
would not be a bad idea for the young
men Of the Benevolent Association to ap-
point committee to take care of his NOR
ais, during his sojourn, and see that he
does not "fall under temptation" 1t is
probable that if the Reverend gentleman
had not rendered himself notorious by his
gallantries, he would never have been
complimented with an invitation to appear
beforethe refined and pious audience that
will assemble at the rooms of the Young
Mems Benevolent Association on the oe-
easion of his advent May the cause Of
true religion be largely benefited thereby.

what Beconaes Of the /" Cracklings .,

What Becomes of the Cracklings ~
II is known to lost persons that in the rem
dering Of lard, an article is obtained known
by the name Of crdcklings. Those, persons
have, probably, in early life, spread cracklings
fresh made upon slices of bread, and found
them palatable, at least once or twice. They
soon lose their relish for them, however, and
would doubtless loathe them If made regu-
lar article Of diet.
In a city like Cincinnati, where hogs are cut
up and lard tried out on an extensive scale,
it may be presumed there are immense amounts
of these eracklings produced. What becomes
of them, is a natural question and having
once asked the question in my days of igno-
rance, propose to answer it for the public
benefit in my day of enlightenment.
In 1887, four or FIVE years after the hog
business here began to become of Importance,
two or three persons engaged in the manufac-
ture Of chemicals, purchased up cracklings as
the raw material for making prussiate of pot
ash, etc. About the same time, shipments of
the article were made to England, where it was
thought it might be used to profit in feeding
the hounds employed in such great numbers
there in hunting. But the hounds, not being
used to cracklings, and enjoying more relish
ing food from their masters tables, would not
eat them, and the adventure proved total
loss to the enterprising shippers.
AT last our Uernan emlBranJsstound use Tor
cracklings. They fed their hogs on the ar
ticle, who did not like them, but ate them
when they could get nothing else. "Wootsy."
said Hans, "you eat de gracklings-auttiag
iss besser ais de gracklings." "Nein" an
swered the hogs, who had learned to speak
Dutch ode gracklngs iss 6esser ais autttng {"
So they ate the cracklings, and 80 popular did
cracklings become that they rose in value from
As cts. TO So cts. per cwt.
This year they have risen again to so cts.
per 100 lbs. Inquiring of one of the prussiate
of potash manufacturers as TO the cause, he
stated that street. broker, on Sycamore street,
had been employed buying them for the New
York and New Orleans markets, "and," added
he, "what do you suppose they are wanted
for" / could not conjecture. "Well," says
he, "T will tell you. They are bought up in
New York by the slavers; they are also shipped
to Cuba for the use Of the Coolies and planta-
ton negroes-to the South for the negroes
also"
1t has been discovered that cracklings are
cheaper than either corn or rice, and that as
| soon as they become used to the taste, those
| fellows will relish them amazingly, particu-
| larly after they have been left long enough
without to get hungry.
Well, thinks to myself, although am no
Abolitionist for the Coolies and negroes to be
| required to eat what the very dogs in England
refuse, is a HARD CASE.

An enthusiastic gentleman of the Louis
vile Journal, speaking of John g. SAKE
and his entertainments, says that "as ar
chitecturc has been happily described as
frozen poetry. so the brilliant career of
this gentleman may be regarded as a
fixed meteor In our humble opinion
the brilliant career Of Mr Saxe-keeping
up the meteoric fgure-resemble that of
the staff Of an abortive rocket ambitiously
stuck in the top of sign post His pro
ductions bear about the same relation to
genuine literature that frozen potato
does to loaf of wholesome and we'll
made bread. 1t is almost time that few
words of truth were uttered in the case of
these itinerant vendors Of literary slip
slop from the other side of the Alleghe-
nies. 1t is certainly folly to import at q
disproportionate expense, an article that
can be produced in quantities to supply
any imaginable demand here at home, and
which would grow out of all measure up
on the slightest encouragement

The first business of government in
this country is to provide to tax the in
dustry of the people as much as it can
bear, and to lay the foundation for con-
stantly increasing burden for all the fu-
ture. The State of Missouri owes thirty
millions of dollars, 1t has commenced
the construction of system Of railroads,
has taxed the people to the extent of their
ability, has exhausted its funds, involved
contractors in huge expenditures, raised
up swarm of hungry public blood-suck-
ers, who now claim their support out of
the treasury, needs still a great sum to
render its roads passable, and, with bro
ken faith and empty pockets, stands upon
the verge Of bankruptcy. The legisla-
ture, now in session, is discussing the
question whether or not it shall adjourn
until next November, "that it's members
to quote the words of the St Louis Re.
pubGcan-"may 60 home and consulttheir
constituents as to what is best to be done
for the railroads, and to protect the inter.
ests of the people" Against this the
Republican protests, demanding that
something-that is to say, more issuing
and selling of bonds-be done immedi.
ately, people or no people.

a writer who wrote some time ago, but
whose opinions the lapse of time and the
progress of the human race have not rem
dered entirely old-fashioned, remarks that
" the power of the press is the power of
mind over mind" IF this is trne-and
we suspect there is nothing in the domain
of experience to contradict tit neces-
sarily follows that the thing of the first
necessity to constitute power in the press,
is mind; or, to speak with more precision,
IDEAS: FACTS in science and CONCLUSIONS
in philosophy. The only literature in
the world that has endured, is that which
has embodied, as constituent part, the
one Or the other. This is equally true of
every branch of literary production-in
respect to the most elaborate books as to
the most hasty periodicals. There is
nothing more potent than an IDEA, to give
influence to the vehicle in which it is
contahroa--nothing more impotent than a
mere INCIDENT A single thought timely
and forcibly presented may furnish the
subject of interesting rehectionfor whole
community, and make every person in it
feel as if he had been enriched; while the

the world-unless, in some form or other
it is suggestive of an idea-leaves the

tainly little better,
1t may be said that the stories of hor-
rid murders, terrible accidents, strange
adventures, serious calamities and heart
rending occurenceswith which the news
papers Of the day are so replete are attrac-
tive to a certain and that large class of
readers. This may be true; but it does
not follow that something better would not
be more attractive. We are inclined to
think that. with all but a very few, these
things are rather taken as substitutes for
what in their consciences they feel they
should receive, than accepted as what is
really due. They who study humanity in
all of its phases, will not be slow to dis.
cover that desire to think usefully, and
to find in man himself the elements fo1
such thought, is not, by any means, the
exclusive prerogative of the highest, Oh
any other one class in society. They in
! deed pay their fellow creatures but mis-
cradle compliment who publish broad
sheets, in which the attempt is made K
attract popular attention, by the exhibi
ton of the details of horrid crimes Oh
dreadful catastrophes, or which, in the
place of sense and reason as applied tc
the real interests of mankind, act upor
the hypothesis that so that suficien
number of dry details are accumulated
and set forth, the whole duty of the jour
nalist is performed.

JAPANESE INoESuIrY.-We find the follow
ing in the Philadelphia Ledger, from the pen
of a naval officer at Hong Kong, China:
"Before leaving Japan we saw most inter-
esting display of winter evening amuse-
ment for children One of our Dutch friends
had presented us with small box, containing
what looked like several hundred pieces of
broom straw, from three -eights to an inch in
length. Throw one Of those in that cup OF
hot water he said. We did as desired, and
il had no sooner touched the surface than it
expanded into perfect representation of a
Japanese woman in full dress. Another proved
to be a buffalo-like COW; a third was sword,
and fourth a handsome walking -cane. -
Throw in a dozen at time,' said our fiend.
Of course we complied, picking them up at
random, and all proved to be different. There
were houses, dogs, short-tailed cats, horses,
tress and fowersj and 1 suppose had We
thrown in half of the box, we should have
seen duplicates of almost everything known
to the Japanese. As it was, however, we
curbed our curiosity, divided the contents Of
the box between us, and slowed them away in
our rooms for the purpose of astonishing the
natives at home"

The ONO STATE JOURNAL in recent
article presents a problem in National Ri
nance that is suggestive, and may furnish
profitable subject of thought to persons
upon either side of the protective tariff
question The imports of foreign goods
into the United States are, in taxable val
ue, about two hundred and eighty mil
lions; the expenditures of the government
upwards Of eighty millions-equal to a
duty of over thirty per cent upon the
whole; and, leaving out the free list over
forty per cent TO increase the rate upon
most Of the articles would diminish the
quantity imported, and reduce the sum
realized upon them; while, upon many, to
reduce the rate would increase the guam
tity, without enlarging the proceeds. The
demands of the government are annually
increasing, the liability Of the tariff as g
source of revenue annually diminishing
The question is, what is to be done
Nowadays, the matter is kept in the fog
bye and bye, it may stare us in the face
with the alternative; constantly increas
ing debt, direct taxation, or that which
politicians hate worse than DEATH anC
next to being out of ofice-retrench
ment.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, speaking
of the forthcoming report of the Breslin
Investigating Committee, in session at
Columbus, and of its members says "Mr.
Edgerton is just the man the State wants
at this time to apply his clear head and
indomitable energy to these investiga-
tons" Very tue, if Mr.. Edgerton will
apply his clear head and the other thing,
to the business Of probing these matters
to the bottom, and exposing what he dis,
covers. But if the clear head and so forth
Of Mr. Edgerton should happen to take
the turn that large majority Of clear
heads and so forths have done before him
under like circumstances; from the result
of his labors there will grow but scanty
satisfaction. The instances wherein poll
ticians have fully pursued, developed and
exposed the roguery of their own friends
are exceedingly few In general, in the
very worst cases, theshow has been greater
than the substance, and the real energy
has been exerted to keep out Of sight that
which was too bad for exhibition.

ituveg NOV feA, sc to the useful arts the

standing aloof from labor, and hiding,
under cabalistic formula, the knowledge
of its processes and results, sought rather
to astonish than to benefit, and thereby
missed the strongest agency for its own

a much better condition. and in general,

Here, however, there are some branches

yielding readily all of her treasures to her
associate, and in others hesitating as if
not yet entirely rid Of her ancient dislike
for that which is merely useful and not

former we may cite the case of the vari-
Gus branches Of the art Of dyeing, where,
by means of the employment of ingeni-
