FRER TEA AND CorEE.

Yesterday, within two hours of it's passage by
the House Of Representatives, the President
signed the bill repealing the duty on tea and
coffee, and these articles will now be imported
free, on and after the 1st Of July.
This measure is one which seems eminently
proper, and though it was introduced by the
friends Of Protection to American Industry, and
opposed by the most earnest Free Traders, it
passed both Houses of Congress, by large ma
jority, many Of those who favor modified Free
Trade fearing to vote against a reform which 80
strongly commands itself to the popular Appro-
val. A duty on tea and coffee must be, OF
course, only for revenue, because neither OF
those articles is produced, OF can be produced in
this country. 1t is, in reality, tax on the peo-
pie and its repeal is lifting from their shoulders
one more of the burdens, caused by the Rebel
lion.
The opposition Of the Free Traders to thu
repeal of this duty was a consistent course. The.
feared to have this source Of revenue cut on
because in order to supply the needed amoun
for the government, the duties must be main
tanned on other articles, thus helping to pro
tect our own manufactures. They would have
preferred to continue the duty on tea and coffee
although it was really tax, and have abolishe,
other duties which help american manufacturers
paying living wages to their workmen, to con
tinue their competition with foreign employer
who pay starvation wages.

Protecting CornnoIds from plrd,.

The crow, the blackbird and the bluejay are
the only birds that molest our cornfeld, and this
for period Of about two weeks, starting from
the time the corn is up. To protect the fields
against their depredations many devices are re-
sorted to, two Of which at least are effectua the
rest doing little or nothing in averting the mis-
chief; The first is the running of atwine around
the field, elevated six to eight feet from the
ground on poles; but this requires time and is
somewhat expensive. The other is to SOW corn
over the field to feed the hungry birds. II is
not necessary to extend this sowing over more
than small portion Of the ground at two or
three different places, at the head lands. The
depredators would soon discover the charitable
donation and be perfectly satisfied with the ar
rangement leaving the young plants unframed.
In providing this remedy the time spent would
be trihing, and the whole cost from a half 10 a
bushel Of corn. But it should be remembered
that the crow never eats hard corn. II found
hard it is carried off, six to eight grains at a
time, and buried until it becomes soft There
fore the corn, before being scattered, a portion
at time, should be first toeltsodked. With this
Preeaution we think we can promise any corn
held to be free from the depreciation SO much
complained OF in certain seasons Germantolon

Chief Justice chnse.

HIS SCHOLARSHIP AND HIS HABITS AT HOME.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Euening Post says:
Chief Justice Chase is probably the best
scholar that has ever resided over the Supreme
Court. AS a Latin scholar he is not surpassed
by any man in the profession. While he was
Governor of Ohio, friend tells me, he read
through the Greek Testament during his first
term. He reads French as readily a. English.
He can translate Faust" into his own strong
and vigorous tongue; and reads Italian and
Spanish like the natives Of those sunny lands,
: with the Poets and has high appreciation Of
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton Dante, Goethe and
others. He has made some good translations VI
the Latin poets for his own amusement In
mathematics he is a worthy pupil Of Euclid.
He is in the broadcast sense an elegant and ac-
complished scholar.
The health of Chief Justice Chase has inn
proved greatly since he was in the city of New
York, year ago last January. He eats well.
digests well, sleeps we'll, exercises much and
works hard. On Thursday evening he worked
until half-pAst ten o'clock, writing out one de-
cison and looking up authorities for another.
He says that it is seldom that he works beyond
the hour Of ten at night in his library His
old smile, his hearty laugh and buoyant cheer
fulness have come back to him. His general
health is better now than it has been at any
time in the last three years. On pleasant morn
ings he walks into the Capitol This is his sea.

Senator Morton.

Probably the proudest moment in the
life Of SenAtor Morton was the late popu-
lar recognition Of his services and labors
by his return to the U. 8. Senate. No
man vas ever more bitterly arraigned
at the bar of public opinion and no man
ever gained q more honorable and COM
plete vindication. No man ever returned
from the field Of triumph with fresher
laure!s or more fairly won. From his
throne in the affection and confidence of
great party he witnesses the complete
rout Of his foes. From the angry
waves Of SANDER and foul calumny the
solid structure Of his fame rises pure
and unsullied. Proven faithful in the
most trying ordeals, the people have
learned to trust and believe in him. and
while he lives be will receive the highest
honors they have to bestow.-M uncie
