PEACE JUBILEE.-It is pleasing to
learn that the Boston Peace Jubilee was
a profitable speculation, just as it would
have been sad to know that it failed to
pay expenses. The idea of losing en-
terprise in Yankee land, no matter what
might, be its claims for patronage, is so
entirely foreign to all conceptions of
Yankee character. as to forbid the har-
boring OF such thought for moment.
From the books Of the board of directors
If this jubilee tho public is informed that
the profits of the affair were just $l1o,-
1905, also that Mr., Gilmore was given
$4,000 for. his services, aud house and
lot besides, worth $25, 900. ..i. .yf.

AN UNKNowN TERRITORY TO BE Ex-
PLoRED.-There is territory about the
headwaters of the Colorado, with an area
as large as the State of Illinois, about
which nothing is known of any practical
value. One or two persons have made
the passage through the great Colorado
Canon, and now and then pioneer hun
ter or miner has looked from the heights
into its fearful chasms. But we know
little or nothing of the topography of
the country, what inexhaustible mines of
precious metals il: may contain, and more
Important still, what great table lands
and rich valleys 1t may have, adapted to
agriculture and to the maintenance of u
dense population. We do not even know
from authentic sources whether the Col
orado is navigable about the Great Canon,
and we know even less OF two or three
of its largest affluents. The Flax river
is traced on the maps for more that two
hundred miles through northeastern Ari-
zona; hut the country through which it
flows has been shut ont from civilization,
and eyen from thorough exploration.
We here OF fierce savages, of floods aud
droughts, of semi-tropical verdure and
Of mineral deposits richer than have been
developed In any other part of the, coun-
try. We shall never know how much
OF truth or how much Of fiction there
may be in these reports until a thorough
exploration have been made. '.l i'-t
"u We have already stated that an ex-
ploring expedition, under the military
supervision Of Major-Gen. Thomas, will
be sent to this country during the pres
cnt Season, comprising engineers, go0lo-
gists, botanists and other scientific, men,
with all necessary appliances for a thor
ough survey OF the country. The White
Pine pioneers on the north and the South
Pacific Railroad surveyors on the south
might be able to tell us something about
this unknown country within tho next
year ortwo.i But more important re.
suits may be expected from the labors of
this military and scientific expedition.
II rich mines and fertile lands should be
found, 1t will not be long before the cur
rent Of population will set toward the
upper waters Of the Colorado. The con.
strnction of the Southern Pacific Rail.
road will have much to do In Fastening
the settlement OF that country. .

SILK.-The question having been anxi-
ousiy asked, What shall We do with our
Chinamen and newly arrived Japanese
California answers Il by producing silk.
There Is no reason why certain portions
Of our country should not abound IN silk
culture, aud now, after decades ofexLeri-
ment, it seems that this enterprise has
come TO fruition. Our imported silk
comes originally from China and Japan.
II japan aud China come to use, and
rear the silk-worm for us, we have effect
cd saving. This is the case In Caliior-
mia, which Chinaman lately said was
the beat silk-growing country Ia the
world, because the blunderefs at The co.
cooneries had not been able TO kill half
the worms. Our silk is already 40 i'm

Corn Prospects.

The Chicago Erening Post, while admitting
that 1t remembers no year in which the corn
crop of the West ever stood In more peril than
to-day, yet contends that those who know the
stubborn persistence of prairie soil, and tie
ripening fervor of the Western sun, aided by
the constant winds, will not despair of fair
crop yet II cites the year 1874 as that which
most resembled the present, when, as now, the
whole country was anoat and when no man
thought even quarter Of a crop was possible; ;
but the rain ceased, the sun came out, and
never since corn was cultivated on prairie soil
has II done such prodigious growing MS 1t did
from the 1st of July to the 1st Of October, to
which time or later the frost kept off. The re-
suit was fair yield on all high ground, and
half crop on the bottoms, at any rate, good
supply Of corn for the country's wants. Two
seasons since that time have somewhat resem-
bled that year but In each as the end of all
the foreboding In which farmers and specula-
tors indulged, 1t was found that the home
stretch did the business the last part Of the
season made up for the coldness of the carly
Summer-and the crop was saved ..
The Post, however, concludes that even with
this encouragement before us, II would be idle
for business men 70 conceal from themselves
the danger by which the greatest of our re-
sources is threatened; and it would be suicidal
not to regulate their purchases that they may
I've prepared for Just that kind of a general
market that failure In corn would create.

Why PRESTON KING COMMITTED SUI
oIDE.-A new revelation of the cause
which drove Preston King to suicide is
made by writer in the Ogdensburg
Journal, who claims to have been in the
confidence of Mr. King, and to have
gathered from his own lips knowledge
Of the feeling by which his mind was
worked upon until it lost it's reason. BY
this writer, the suicide of Mr.. King is
attributed entirely to the treachery Of
Andrew johnson, whose nomination fol
Vice President, in 1864, was due 10 the
efforts of Mr.. King perhaps more than
to those of any other man. after the
Vice Presidents drunken inaugural Mr..
King took him in charge, going with
him to Silver Spring and other places,
and laboring with him until he became
sobered. Afterward, when Mr. John
son became President, Mr.. King took
up his abode at the White House, and
the Journal says his sole purpose was to
watch over and advise with him. Find
ing his influence unavailing to prevent
,Johnsor's betrayal of those who had
mistakenly elected him, apprehending
the most disastrous consequences to tht
country from what he saw would be .the
character and course of the administra
ton, and feeling keenly bis own RESPONSE
bility in a great measure for the nomina
tion and election of so bad and danger
Gus a man, o morbid gloom settled upor
his mind, which darkened until he de
stroyed himself. H ''.F 'asf Trri F.

It gives new sensation to realize that
the Japanese are about to fight their
battle at sea, and trust the cause of Mi
kado against Tycoon to the arbitrament
of rams. Gen. Eumoto, the leader of
the anti-Mikadis.s, is Of such doughty
enterprise that one of his vessels entered
Jeddo, inspected the Mikado's feet, and
went ont again without receiving shot
from fort or feet. Taking Commodore
Rowan's word for it, the fault of the war
rests with the anti .Mikado party, il be-
ing settled that the Tycoonatc for which
they fight has been abolished. The
morality Of the contest will belong to
The stronger side.

4 ysOm me New York tribune,

rrom the New York Tribune,
fntimalions from w ashington indicate
that the Treasury statement for July Ist
will show filrther reduction in the ag-
gregate Of tbe National Debt Of Ten
Millions Of Dollars, making total re-
duction OF Thirty HilIiOns Of Dollars in
the first four months Of Gen. Grants
Administration, or at the rate of NinetH
Millions per annum. No Government
but ours ever paR off the principal Of its
Debt, while regularly meetings its ipter-
est, at such rate as that.
The iBteFest on oar Debt amounts 10
about One Hundred Millions (gold) per
annum, OF Ten Millions per month; and
this, with whatever, reductions, may be
made IN the principal, are obtained by a
'TariR which our, Free Traders have de-
nounoed as inevitably destructive alike to
Commerce and Reverse. They declared
in 1861 that the, bin then passed would
destroy our Foreign Trade with all In
come therefrom yet we are regularly
importing foreign merchandise AZ the
rate Of some -Four Hundred Millions per
annum and collecting thcrefrom o. reven-
ue of about One Hundred and Eighty
Millions per annumi We are Importing
more goods than all our Exports will
pay for, and, If eur duties were soredoc-
ed that we imported Fifty Millions
worth more per annuh, we should only
sink so much deeper in debt to Europe
or throw more Bread-stuffs, at rates ru-
nous TO the growers, on the already
glutted and unremuncrative markets of
the Old World. Shall not these facts
be needed by all who value National Sol
vency and abhor the thought Of Repudi-
ation?i @ 'Hi nNa'it' ,fh

RAYMOND AND GREELEY.-The Utica Herald,
In an article upon the death Of the late Henry
J. Raymond, draws the following contrast be-
tween the editors of Times and the Tribune
The contrast between Mr.. Raymond
and his political rival, is remarkable.
Mr.. Raymond had the more culture
Mr.. Greeley the more force. Mr. Ray.
mond knew men aud the world better /;
Mr. Greeley estimates moral sympathics
and elements the more correctly. Mr..
Raymond in thought aud expression
studied proprietios, Mr.. Greeley hurls
out his ideas and words like a Titan, re.
gardless where they hit Mr.. Raymond
was the better trained intellectual ath-
lote, knowing how to use every muscle
and fiber according TO rule; Mr.. Greeley
tosses science TO the wind and trusts to
nature. Mr. Raymond accepted society
as he found il, and was willing to be in
and of IL; Mr.. Greeley finds much
wrong about the foundations, and busies
himself about righting them. Mr.. Ray
mond was the moro symmetrical; Mr..
Greeley sttains nearer TO genius. Mr..
Raymond had the better judgement; Mr..
Greeley has the more glowing enthasi-
asm. Mr.. Raymond bad the more tact
and shrewdness, and was counted the
better counselor by politicians Mr..
Greeley has always had the larger fol-
lowing and has been much more eminen.

Shad,

!. The history of shad, says an exchange,
must be very curious and interesting,
though so little is known with certainty
of their lives and habits. It is popular
belief that they annually ascend fresh
water streams for the purpose of spawn
ing an6 that having discharged this func.
ltion they die and never return. Birds
of passage go north in the spring TO
breed, and having raised their young, on
the approach OF cold weather, or sooner,
they return, taking their young with
them. Water fowls, whose Southern
haunts arc thousands of miles from us,
still migrate to the North to raise their
young. But Shad fishes die, they never
return. Their young, in some mysteri-
GUS way, entering upon precarious exist
ence in tho fresh water rivers of the
Northern states, ut some period in their
age or growth, abandon their native
streams and seek the salt water of the
ocean. Through what regions they pass
in their unknown wanderings, can only
be guessed, for they are no more seen
until the next spring season, when the
telegraph brings the intelligence that
shad have been caught--the first of the
season. In the neighborhood of Cope
Hatteras. , Always travelling northward,
they ascend the streams and fill the es-
tuariesi in regular succession, penetra-
ting every Tindentation of the coast to
Cape Cod, where if any remain still
wandering, they again take to the wide
waters Of the ocean, perhaps again to
travel the, same extensive circuit, perhaps
to wander aimlcss during the balance of
q brief existence, Still, true to their in
stihcts, they appear again on our South
erin coasts with the same certainty, and
almost the same exactness with which
the sun enters q constellation, and again
perform tho same weary round, OF food
they take tarkke 'f, pons, nor are they ever at

ANDY JogNsox. When The Tribune under
takes TO speaks lightly of Andy and his utter
ances, and to say that "it isn't of much conse-.
ouence what he thinks" We take the liberty to
differ with H. His movements, and opinions,
and uttcranccs, always elicit lively and plea
SAINT interest. II he goes 70 Washington, IL Is
noticed with pleasant smile. He should 60
there without let or hindmnca. Il is the place
where he achieved greatness II tire object Of
his visit Is TO procure material whcrewith to
write up his administration, nothing could be
moro irTesistabIy pleasant If he speaks Of a
successor or his policy, we expect something
peculiarly Andyisb and we are not often dis
appointed If he talks about the finances, II
his right No one, perhaps, either in theory or
practice, has handled these things with such
perfect freedom and made the subject in all It's
wide range so subservient TO his will and In
terest. These things, and many more, are Of
the first interest, when Andy takes hold OF
them, so that we would respectfully suggest to
the tribune, from which the following is taken
to just let Andy do and say what he pleases
for in our opinion the world will be the happi.
or for 1t. ..r r... t..i. l..
Andy Johnson having come all the
way from Tennessee to Washington Just
to inform the astonished public that the
national debt is corroding and eating in
to the vitals of the country, would have
been told, if he had only called before
making his speech upon the Secretary oi
the Treasury, that this coroding and
eating debt has been reduced 4l0, ,O0O, ,00C
during the last month. In the opinion
of Mr.. Andy Johnson, "the American
people has high and holy duties to per.
form" One OF these is to pay their
debts, and they certainly will pay them.
One of them soos to turn Mr.. johnson
out of the White House, and they Ger,
tainly have done that. When an ex
President cannot speak of his successor
without lapsing into vulgar abuse, i,
is MT of much consequence what he thinks
OF the finances -' u"t u .I'i

+, g. A feature, of fhe. observance of the 4th at
sNewport, and which was not second in matter
of interest. was The presentation by the Nara
ganset Boat Club Of an elegant life-boat 70
Miss Ida Lewis % a token of appreciation Of
her heroism in rescuing two drowning soldiers
near her fathers lighthouse 10 March last
The boat Is called the Rescue, and is Of the
finest workmanship The material Is oak, ce-
dar. and black walnut, not n pound of iron
being used in its construction. II Is IA feet
long, a feet Q inches beam, and ID inches deep.
After the exercises, eboat was launched with
the slight feure'of the young heorine seated
at the oars Amid cheers waving of handker-
chiefs, and booming OF cannon, the beautiful
vessel glided through the crowd of other craft,
and urged by the quick but vigorous strokes
of the fair oarswoman, who guided It with
firm hand, II sped rapidly toward Its destina-
ton, the Lime Rock Light House. The crowd
remained until the flag OF the Rescue was a
mere speck in the distance and then slowly
dispersed.
