 Because salt is protected. by duty of one hun dred per cent ormore, it.does not follow that the men employed in this business get more wages. The Onondaga Salt Company makes it's million dollars per year on capital of s1OO. 900, but the workmen get no better wages than the mechanics wo:king in Syracuse, and not quite as good.
 The great interest of this country is agricul- ture: The farmers of Connecticut have the same right to protection that tho salt, steel and other have.

thing that happened after the ID of De
cember, and what is deplorable, the pre-
vailing opinion of the day approves of
them. Here lies the grave political i'm
portance of this feeling. | do not like to
speak with confidence from Paris as to the
particular course things are going to take
as to whether a temporary republic or
an immediate monarchy, and under what
dynasty, is to be the upshot-but am
prepared to assert that there is in the as
cendant formidable tide Of double reac-
ton, political and clerical. If | am not
mistaken the latter will be very pronoun-
ced, and probably give the distinctive hue
to the coming political phase in this coun-
try. The atrocious murder Of the arch
bishop and Of the other priests is, of all
things, the one most calculated to foment
the already very considerable Catholic pro-
pensities in France, while the vacancy ere
ated in the great Paris see at once removes
the one influential Gallican prelate, and
enables the Pope to elevate at this critical
moment an uItramontane nominee

Of different sizes.
There is a branch of the Standard
Bank on the fields, and there are other
purchasers in plenty in fact, diamonds
bring better price on the spot when they
are found than in any part of the colony.
At this time of year there is a thunder
storm almost daily in the diamond country.

very Intelligent gentleman who had spent
many years in that country. In the
course of conversation, | made some re-
marks in regard to native society, to which
he Immediately replied with an exclama-
ton; g Native society Why there is
no such thing. The woman, frclerring to
the wealthicr classcs) never see any one,
and the men spend their time between eat
ing and sleeping.
This IS strong way of putting the mat
ter; but, with exceptional cases, 1t is the
truth. There Is no social life among the
native population Of India. The woman
Is no society to her husband, the only man,
as a rule, she ever meets the man Is no
society to his wife; he regards her as be-
longing to an inferior order Of beings, cre-
ated only TO minister to his pleasure and

LADIES HANuwEIrING.-We continual
iy see advertisements of ladies who can
write a good hand, and wish for work in
copying manuscripts. One ladys good
hani" is AL. peaks aud angles: an1ther's
all scrawInE dashes while the sins of un-
dotted IL and uucroS-ed Is are legion, not
to speak Of errors in spelling, bv no means
infrcquent The uckless employer Is driv-
en- to distraction by the labor of dccipher-
inr. 70 which is sometimes added the labor
OF correction; and he finally throws down
the Ill done work, with a pardonable sneer
at the incapacity Of woman for anything
but dress. OF course, she gets no more
work from him. Now, to write an ugly
hand may be called = misfortune, if you
will-but to write an illegbIe hand is
crime against society. Every one who
chooses can form each letter distinctly.can
make a difference between an n and a u.
between and C, can dot Is and cross Is.
No educated woman who wishes employ
ment as an amanuensis or copyist can be
excused for writing badly. She ought 10
be able to write letters and copy manu-
scripts clearly and legibly, if she cannot
she has only herself to blame. Write two
or three copies every day in large hand
Look at your copy upside down, when the
turns Of the letters should appear as well
shaped as they did when you looked at
them the right way. Let the letters nu,
when turned upside down, make 4 good
mi, only wanting the addition of the dot to
to l. Never leave an to be dotted or a
to be crossed till you have finished the line
or sentence. Remember that the lines ofI
lcgibiIity in writing,are all curved. New
er indulge in making long tails to g's q's, !
or overlong heads to Is, Is, or similar let
ters, running tLem into the upper lines
Never initiate another persons writing un-
der tho idea that it is prettier than your
own. Cultivate the power of writing quick
because it will be necessity to you. But
