THE ARCHIPELAGO.

lettering past the lovely islnnds that
gem those remote seas, until the last
OF them sunk astern in the flush of sun
set. Nothing can lie more beautiful
than their cones of never-fading YER
dure, draped to the very edge of the
waves, except where some retreating
cove shows its beach of snow-white
sands. On the larger ones are woody
valleys, folded between the hills, and
opening upon long slopes, overgrown
with the coacoa-palm, the mango, and
many strange and beautiful tree OF
the tropics. The light, lazy clouds,
suffused with crimson flush of heat,
that fioated slowly through the upper
heavens, cast shifting shadows upon
the masses of foliage, and deepening
here and there the dark-purple hue of
the sea. Retreating behind one an
other until they grew dim and soft Us

the most tranquil of oceans, these is

Grants Logic.

Grant wants Congress to buy San Domin-
go, because, he says
A government as extensive and populous as
the United States consumes many things grown
only in the tropics.
When Lincoln, ever to be lamented, was
President, he constituted "the government"
Ofcoursc there can be no lawful reason why his
successor, Grant, should not be equally the
government. Grant smokes choice Havana
cigars. These peculiar cigars are made only
at Havana, in Cuba. Therefore ''the govern
ment' should buy Cuba, and secure to Grant
the exclusive right to those cigars
The Chicago 3riJune very nicely analyses
the above absurd sentence, and exhibits its
want of sense, grammar, logic, and truth, and
how it is string of words, signifying nothing
and amounting only to the babbling of fool !.
The Tribune says:
1t is, perhaps. not immodest in our President
to assert that government" of which he forms
so large part is extensive" though we do not
remember to have learned the fact from any for
mer President. But that our government" is
'populous," and that this "populous government"
OF ours CONSUMES many things grown only in
the tropics" are observations which we are quite
sure never struck the mind of any statesman
from Hamilton to Lincoln. Our territory il
extensive" though not very "populous," and
probably it is our people. rather than either our
government or our territory, who consume trop-
ical products. But we still doubt whether our
people are either extensive or "populous."
Our brilliant president. luminous es-
pecally in political economy. would advise
us to buy every country whose peculiar pro-
ducts we consume. We must purchase Nor
way for its herrings, Greenland for its Wal
russes, Brazil for Brazi-nuts, the Sandwic
islands for Taro and Vans, Patagonia for pen
gums, Australia for Kangaroos, New Zealand
for Jerbor rats, and Egypt for Ibes and croco-
diles

Women Sitting on Juries.

In charging Grard Jury in Albany County,
Wyoming Territory, the SAID jury being COM
posed in part of women, the Judge said
1t would be the most shameful scandal that in
our temple of justice, in our courts of law, any.
thing should be permitted which the most sen 81.
tive lady might not hear with propriety and wit
ness.
To which language of the Judge, the n. Y.
Tribune adds -" Now in the hearing of some
causes which have come under our own OBJ
servation-ibels for divorce, which wers sus-
tanned by dispositions, and were not for the
Jury-we have known judge to stop the
reading, and to say that he would privately
look over the papers. But in many states
other than the one in which this occurred,
there would have been causes for the jury, and
the dispositions must necessarily have been

OF which modest women have not heretofore
been in the habit oftalking, even among them
sclves.-Yet the world is the world; its bust
ness must so on and courts must inquire into
some crimes both shameful and disgusting, If.
therefore, women are to take part in judi
cial proceedings of this character, the question
arises whether what we have been accustom-
cd to speak of as womanly mOdesty must be
discarded. Mind, we do not say that this is
good thing or bad thing-we merely say
that it must be surrendered If the world is
willing to give it up, well and good, Or ill and
bad, we do not say which,"

1tasserts "The next morning after the draw

nished to the crowned heads, to prince and
peasant, to digest with their coffee at the

than this have sprung from it, which as yet

Duty on Steel.

Railroad men well know, and it is a con-
ceded fact among scientific men, that steel
rails are far more durable, much safer. and in
the end considerably cheaper than iron rails.
Steel, though costing twice as much, lasts four
times as long as iron, hence is twice as cheap
before becoming worn out
The Bessemcr process Of making steel from
iron renders steel very cheap, and the patent
on that invention having expired in Europe,
the manufacture of this most valuable article
OF commerce Can now be carried on by this
process by any one-is free to the world.
The duty is now two cents per pound. or
about S44.sO per ton in gold, which is SO per
ton more than the Besscmer steel was worth in
Liverpool before the patent expired. Add to
this heavy duty of S44.so per ton in gold, the
cost of handling and shipping across the
ocean, and it brings it up to $lOl per ton.
If admitted free Of duty, the cost of steel
railroad iron would be only $40 per ton. The
new tariff bill proposes to continue the cnor-
nous tariff, for the benefit of PENNSYLVANIA
monopolics, so that we not only do not get
this valuable steel for our railroads, but are
compelled to pay Pennsylvania $50 per ton
on every rail they make, and the government
gets no tariff whatever
Here is an unanswerablc argument against
the runous policy Of a protective or monopoly
tariff
