HOW TO BEGIN REFORMING THE
TARIFF.

From the n, Y. World
Public opinion regarding the tariff ques-
ton has three distinct phases. There are
thorough protectionists, who, either from
self-interest or erroneous conviction, hold it
the right and the duty of the Government to
SO adjust its taxes as to attempt fostering
certain branches of industry, and who sustain
the protective system, root and branch.
There are also anti-protectionists called
usually by opponents and often by them
selves free traders, who believe that the
whole protective system is both erroneous
and unjust, that no law should ever be
framed with intent to favor capital or labor
in any particular branch of industry and
that duties upon imports should be so adj
iusted as to put the least possible burden
upon the people. But between these there
is third class, composed of men who either
do not understand or care nothing for the
principle involved, but who vote for duties
which are expected to foster local interests of
their own or their constituents and against
duties which are found to affect those inte-
rests iniuriously With this class must be
included all those unprincipled demagoeues
who are governed in their action, not by any
honest desire for the welfare of the whole
country, but by the hope of influencing the
votes of some element or interest among
their constituents.
The protectionist where he is honest at
all, may be regarded as the advocate of
well-meant but terribly injurious blunder-
the dupe of patriotic delusion. He really
believes that government can foster particu-
lar industries by imposing burdens upou
others True, he ought to know better. Can
did reasoning or fair examination of facts
would convince him that the burdens imposed
by the protective system upon the consumers
of any American product must and do in the
long run react against the producer and
more than balance the supposed advantages
conferred. To the error of information he
adds an error of judgment; he believes that
government not only can foster particular
Industries, but that it is wise and just to do
So Again, he ought to know better; he
ought to understand that every dollar thus
conferred upon those interested in any in
dusty must come out Of the pockets OF

THE AMAZONs OF PARIS.
From the N. Y. Herald.

from te w 4. dedtd
The insurgent rufians of Paris, among
their desperate expedients to prolong their
"Beggars Opera, have, it appears, invited
the women of the city (that is, the women of
the town to form military organization for
its defense. The Amazons of the gay me-
tropolis, who may be classified as the ruffans
and cutthroats of their sex, figured conspicu-
ously in nearly all the horrible atrocities of
that hideous first French Revolution of 1883,
of liberty, equality, fraternity, anarchy and
the guillotine They we're conspicuous in the
storming of the Bastile; in the royal progress
from Versailles to the capital, riding upon the
cannon; in the pursuit of Louis XIV and his
family in their flight from Paris; in the motley
procession of the sans cuI0ttes which escorted
the poor King back to the Tuleries; in the
mob which murdered the amiable Princess
Lamballe, and marched in triumph through
the streets with her head borne aloft upon
pike; in the bacchanalian orgies in the Tui-
leries, with the occupation of the palace by
the mob, and they were the life and spirit of
the foul and obscene crowds which regularly,
from morning till night, attended and ex-
ulfed in drunken frenzy at the slaughters of
the guillotine OF all the demons ia human
shape let loose in Paris during that Reign Of

The genuine Colorado Pota'

is supposed to be such, is ma,
king ravages already in tho
western part Of this State
Turn a pair Of ducks into you'
potato patch, and they vii.
gobble up the bugs. Persons
should be exceedingly careful
about handling these bugs, as
they are very poisonous.
The bug is of a roundish
oval form, about half a Il inch
long and two.frths Of an inch
IN width, Of dull cream color,
With ten black stripes on its
back, The thoraN is dotted
with black spots. The bugs
appear in the Spring about the
time the potato plants begin to
sprout out of the ground, and
are death to the potato crop
wherever they appear, unless
checked In their ravages.
For the benefit Of our far
mcrs we copy the following
paragraph from the Report Of
the State Board Of Agriculture,
for 1869, which gives a simple
means of destroying the bugs {;
"Dust the plants with a mix,
ture Of PariS,gfcen and plaster,
at the rate Of one part Of the
former to four or five of the
latter; put into a muslin bag
and shake over the plants, ta-
king care not to let the dust
get into your eyes and mouth,
as it is poisonous. A few ap-
plications of this remedy made
soon after the bugs appear vii!
put a stop to their operations"
Flour will answer as well as
plaster for diluting the poison,
but the proportion of -four
should hc about six to eight
parts. The above remedy has
been used and always proved
eEectual.
Our farmers should be on
the lookout for the bugs, and
give them a dusting on their
first appearance in their potato
patches.

A yeritabIe Ghost Story.

Many of our readers, says the Louis
vile journal, remember the daring ex-
ploits of jerome Clarke, alias Sue Num-
day, the notorious guerrilla and robber
during the war and his subsequent e1ecu-
tion III tins city by the military authors
ties. The story Of his life and crimes
have been revived In a very singular
manner. For some weeks past tile peo~
pie living near Eighteenth Street and
Broadway, the place of his execution,
have been startled by strange sights and
sounds The ghost Of Sue Munday has
often been seen fitting across the COM
mons, in the vicinity OF the fatal tree, at
all hours of the night. Sometimes alone,
with his hands pinioned behind bin, and
the fatal cap drawn over his eyes; again,
dangling in tic air, with a rope around
his neck, struggling rs if in the agonies
OF death. At other times he was accom-
panied by the girl who SO fundly and truly
loved him, and to whom he wrote so af-
feclionately a few hours before his death
Many Of the people were skeptical on the
subject, and attempted TO solve the mys~
tery. The strange couple were seen by
hundreds of people, but always, when
closely approached, mys;erionsly disap-
peared into thin air.
Every attempt to solve the mystery
only tended TO deepen it, and many peo-
pie of the vicinity finally believed that the
objects that they saw were Sue Munday
and hIs phantom bride. The ghosts got
to be terror, and the nervous maidens
and children were afraid to 60 out after
dark. The ghost finally got to be such
an annoyance that the police were appeal
ed to, and on Sunday night last Lieuten-
ant John Shelly was informed that the
apparitions or ghosts were in iull view.
lie repaired to The spot, and sure enough
saw the tall form of q man, with a female
all dressed in white, hanging on his arm,
walking slowly in the direction of ihe
fatal tree, and finally take seat. He
went up TO them rapidly, when the female
in white suddenly disappeared, or at least
seemed to dc so. The lieutenant FASTENED
on and seized hold of the man, and the
ghost story was at an end. The man
was real flesh and blood, and the lady in
white had not disappeared She had
only thrown long black cloak over her
dress, thus concea!ing her from view, ex-
cept on a very close inspection. They
were couple Of lovers, who, for lack Of
better place, had chosen the fatal tree
as trysting place, not knowing lis his
tory. AS there is no law prohibiting
courting the lieutenant released them,
and explained the matter TO The terrified
people.
