but not when we can make it as cheaply in
our own country.
This brings us back to our first PROPOSE
tion, that if any article can be produced at
home with nearly the same cost as abroad,
the carriage is lost labor.
The Treasury of the nation is In such q
low condition at present that this subject
now demands the attention of Congress, and
will demand the immediate consideration Of
the new Administration.
The tariff bill now before Congress may or
may not pass at the present session. / con-
fess do not understand the precise poyis-
ions Of the bill and do not know whether
it can be passed by the present Congress or
not.
It may or it may not become the law Of
the land, but if it does that will be the end
of the matter, until o modification can be
effected, should it be deemed necessary.
IL it does not pass, and the latest advices
Ihaye are 10 the effect that it is still pend
ing, the next Congress will have to give
it their earliest attention.
According to my political education, I am
inclined to believe that the people, in various
sections of the country, should have their
own views carried out through their Repre-
sentatiYes in Congress, and il the con-
sderation of the tariff bill should be post
poned until the next session of the National
Legislature, no subject should engage your
Representatives more clorely than that of
a tariff.
And if have any recommendation to
make it will be that every man who is
called upon to serve that people in repre-
sentative capacity should study this whole
subject thoroughly, as | intended to myself
looking to all the varied interests of our
common country, SO that when the time for
action arrives, adequate protection can be
extended to the coal and iron of penngvl-
vania, the corn of Illinois and the reapers of
Chicago.
Permit me to express the hope that this
important subject may receive such con-
sideration at the hands of your Representa-
tives that the interest of no part of the
country may be overlooked, but that all
sections may have a common, the benefit of
just and equitable tariff. [Applause.l
But | am trespassing upon your patience,

and must bring my remarks to a close.
Thanking you most cordially for the kind
reception which you have extended to me,
II bid you all adieu. Enthusiastic applause

TIE CONSCIENTIOUS HusBAND.-A gentle
man was once dining with friend, when a
most violent storm arose. Inhopes of abate-
ment, the entertainment was prolonged to
over and the storm showed no signs of ceas-
ing, but on the contrary grew worse and
worse. The host insisted upon his guests
acceptance of a lodging for the night, in view
of the impossibility of his reaching home.
The guest complied, but in a few minutes
was missed from the parlor. In half an hour
he reappeared, drencbed with rain. "Where,
in Heavens name, have you been2" asked
the host, viewing the singular object, which
looked like dog around the paws, and a
weeping willow around the head. 'Il" said
he, quickly shaking off the water, 81 have

CIRoUMsTAEcEs.-The New York corre-
spondent of the Philadelphia Press denies
the stories that Ex-Postmaster Fowler is in
destitute circumstances. Friends of Mr..
Fowler, who are in constant communication
with him, state that he is in receipt of
handsome salary as agent of large COM
pany near Mexico, and that independently of
that he has respectable, sum on hand in
cash-sufficient at all events, to maintain
himself in entire comfort for twelvemonth,
at least, and that in case he should need
more, it would be promptly and cheerfully
sent to him. The parties by whom he is
employed are greatly pleased with his man
agement thus far, and he has their entire
confidence. He writes home in good spirits,
and is far from abandoning the hope of re-
turning to New York and discharging every
obligation against him.

FruitlessneAs of the japanese Embassy
DemOnAtratiOn-Cavali Treatment of
the American Representatives.
The correspondent of the New York Times
writes from Yeddo of the reception given
to the American representatives there by
the japanese authorities;
Mr.. Harris inquired of the Minister if he
had heard any detailed account of the En-
bAssy in the United States. Prime Minister
replied, with the faintest approach to a
sneer, as he knocked the ashes out of his
pipe, "that the days were very short just
now, and he had good deal of business on
hand, but he hoped at some future time to
hear more on the subject" May Heaven
convert and bless him for not caring TO learn
more of the most stupendous humbug OF this
nineteenth century.
When there was nothing to eat and the
saki getting low in the little bottles, we all
arose, bowed, and marched out of the pres
ence, took a last serious of hand shakes with
the ambassadors, and so passed out beneath
the portals of the palace.
Whether the great, ugly, carved griffins,
with their huge red eyes and scaly beaks,
who showed their open mouths to us above
the gate way, were grinning at us in spite
or for sympathy, we know not, but methinks
that they had the power to give utterance
to the thoughts of the Prince whose gates
they guarded, the words would have been
somewhat in this wise;
"Nation of the Flowry Flag, you came
here some years ago with some big ships,
and sword in one hand and a peace of pa
per called Treaty, in the other. Not caring
to fight, we signed the paper. By and by
you came and ask us to send some Of our
people to your country, and We having
plenty of people and no objections, you carry
them away. Well, you bring them back
you have treated them well and given them
plenty ofboot, now what more do you wsnt2
We have conferred the obligation on you,
so there is an end, and now 60 home and do
not bother us any more"
We smiled at the grifiins got in our nori-
mons, lighted our cheroots, and were borne
away.

BEoLISE OF BUDDHISM IN SIAM.-Buddhism
is most manifestly melting away in Siam.
1t seems quite evident, latterly, that the
King of Siam has but little respect for the
system. He feels under obligations to do
something that shall have the appearance, at
least, that he is defender of that faith, as
he has pledged himself to do so. But he is
at the same time doing much TO diminish
the number of the priesthood. He is oblig-
ing the Priests to work, as no other Siamese
King has DONE

When she visited Mr.. Halls house, a num-

seat of honor-was appropriated to her use.
In this she reclined luxuriously, but the
visitors began to litter at something which
they saw about the lady. All eyes were
fixed on the Something" laughed and
looked pleasant. Miss Milford, in the course
of the morning, had been engaged in making
some purchases in London--a place which
she rarely visited-and had brought with
her to Mr.. Halls house cheap but snowy
turban, which she placed near her own
chair. On this was written--for poor Miss
Milford was innocent of all knowledge of the
fact" Very chaste-only 5s. Sd.

Excitement and Tyranny in Rome :

Excitement and Tyranny In Rome
Young Artist WRntOnly Murdered.
A foreign correspondent writes in late
letter
The morning succeeding the police tri
umph in cafe Nuovos, Rome clerical was
thrown into great excitement by discover
ing that the entire city was decorated with
the arms of Savoy, surrounded with national
banners, underneath which was written in
large characters, Annexation to the King
dom of Victor Emmanuel p Even the col
lege of the Propaganda was adorned with
awful heresy.
The priests at sight of Piedmonts arms,
took to their heels and fled; one man was
arrested in Piazza di Venezia, because found
simultaneously laughing and gazing at the
cross of Savoy. To laugh under such cir
cumstances is q crime.
The decorations were all higher than
man could reach, and the gems ddrRes were
busily occupied in rushing for ladders and
benches in order to tear down the obnoxious
colors. During this lively scene, it was
proved beyond doubt that the gems d drmes
carried poignards, of which they made use in
attempting to efface the arms. Nor is their
mission limited to the harmless employment
of destroying Savoy crests, ss q more re-
cent and atrocious assassination can bear
witness.
Ou tuo EAu lusIuutj seNeIdl young dTJlSJS,
after having passed the evening in garden
in the Piazza Montanara, were returning
home singing, as is the inveterate custom of
Italians, when they were insulted by gen
d armes Ia hero of Castel Fidaro) in language
that decency prevents me from repeating.
One of the youths stopped, saying it was
notthe Office Of gen daT1nes to insult inoffens-

Of cried the brutal papalino, and in
stantly rushed toward the speaker with a
drawn poinard, which the young man
avoided by darting back; whereupon the
gen daTmeS planted his weapon in the heart of
the nearest person, young sculptor-Sera-
fina Mazzi, the hope and pride of his family.
The French guard appeared, arrested the
assassin, and conveyed the dying artist to a
neighboring hospital. The horror manifested
by the French soldiers at this wanton muir
der was very freely expressed, and it was
with great reluctance that they resigned the
prisoner into the hands of the pontifical
military tribunal, which having awarded
medals to the daylight murderers of the 10th
of last March, will no doubt dismiss this
faithful servant with a papal benediction.
Such deeds are perpetrated in the Holy City.
