Cheap transportation.

st. Louis papers do deal of talking
about how cheap grain transportation
can be carried ON down the river
They assert that they can take it from
the farm to their city, ON an average
at ten cents bushel; transport it to
New Orleans for six cents, and send il
to Liverpool for sixteen cents more
or thirty-two cents to the foreign con-
sumner The same grain sent by Chi.
eago, they are careful to mention, costs
sixty cents in summer and seventy
five cents in winter, TO the same mar
ket
We suspect that there is some truth
in this estimate. Which leads us to
inquire why, as this can be done, st.
Louis don't do its We have been
waiting for those bargcs and these
cheap freights for some time. The
demonstrations that 1t can be done are
of the most numerous and convincing
kind. The proof, indeed, is conclu-
sive: and were il not for the trifiing
omission that il never has been done.
It would inspire our producers with
the utmost confidence. just for the
the novelty of the thing, suppose our
friends down the river make an effort
to put their promises into practice. 1t
is a most admirable theory. We have
heard of it this many day. Our faith
is of the profoundest kind. All we
ask is, that they would mention wheth-
er any grain has been shipped as vet,
and who has done il at the advertised
rates. A trife of fact is very good
thing to improve the fancy.-!SL Paul

The Pittsburg Commercial, concern

The Pittsburg Commercial, concern
ing the convention to be held at Cleye-
land to form National Irish League
for political aggrandizement, says:
g No one will question the right of
these men to hold such gathering and
carry out such programme, il they
can but the movers in it need not
complain If it should be followed bv
another convention Of those who are
content to be called American citizens,
without regard to their nationality,
and who will pledge themselves to put
an end, if possible, to all this misera-
BILE twaddle about particular NATIONAL
tiles not having their proper share of
offices. The American Government
was not established to perpetuate the
national grudge or antipathies Of those
who come here from the Old World,
nor TO keep up national distinctions
and peculiarities, but to merge men of
all nations into one. The lrishmen
and Germans who come to this country
leave Ireland and Germany behind
them, so far as nationality is concerned
and become American citizens; and
ii is both silly and ridiculous to at
tempt, thereafter, to reclothe them
selves with the nationalities they have
thrown off.-Woshington Chronicle.

Grub in .ne Head OF sheep.

AT this time of the year, sheep which
are affected with grub in the head,
will experience the observation-disclosures
of irritation caused by the descent OF
the grub or bot, which comes out. to
seek place in the earth where il may
undergo its transformation into the
perfect fly, which will be ready for
pestering the sheep again in the hot
months. While the bot is up in the
remote sinues of the forehead, no fea-
sible application can reach il, so ii is
worse than useless 10 torment the poor
beast with injections of internal nos-
trums. The only time to treat sheep
for the destruction OF the parasite. Is
when the larve is deposited in the nos
tril, by the bot fly. in the summer; af-
ter it has assembled to its winter quar-
ters in the head, il is beyond the reach
Of medicine.
There is spring treatment, howev-
er, which is feasible as an alleviator.
and may hasten the departure OF the
bot. The sheep should be fed daily
with little oil meal of flax seed, 10
strengthen the system. Then to help
in expelling the bot in its downward
course, give a drench of half an ounce
of oil of turpentine III two ounces OF
fax seed oil, thoroughly mixed, every
given. Also bathe the head of the
sheep in warm water for several days.
Keep up the tone of the system, and
little is to be feared from the grub'in

A woman who is considering the
matter of her spring ha; is all interest
ing subject for contemplation. First,
she buys straw frame that looks as 1T
1t had been struck by hurricane and
then sat down on by an entire Coron-
er's Jury. After that, when she rides
in street car, she drinks in the de-
tails OF every spring hat that enters,
and learns them all by heart. and
does mental sums over the cost Of the
ribbon. and makes up her mind to
have ilowers in hers like those worn
by the woman in the corner, and lace
like that gandy-looking creature in the
middle. And then she walks down
the street and studies all the hats that
come along, and when a woman passes
lier with one on she twists her neck
around to see how ii looks behind, and
Is disgusted 10 see that the woman Ia
also dislocating her neck, to see how
she trims her hat. When she arrives
in front of millinery store she

spring hats in the window. and shHde-
termines to trim hers nineteen differ

and asks to "see hats" with The air of

She examines every hat in the estab-

she will "look further Then she

Hard Upon che women clerks.

The Civil Service Commission is not
only alive, but literally kicking, it
would seem, as one of their last rules
prohibits women from competing for
the clelkships of the highest grade in
the Washington departments. In the
examinations great many women
successfully competed, and before Sec
retary Boutwell, resigned were appoin-
ted. In some cases promotions were
obtained by ladies as high as the second
and third grades. Secretary Richard
son has refused absolutely to appoint
ladies to positions above the $500
grades. Though several passed almost
at the head, they were rejected abso-
lutely. The reason given for this is
the feeling in the bureaus of the Treas
ury against advancing women to posi-
tions requiring self-reliance and action
based on individual investigation and
Judgement. The Postmaster General
also refuses to promote women to the
higher grades in his Department. and
defends his conduct on the results of
experience. The 500 places will be
filed by women according to law, and
the selections be made under the rules
for competition. but nothing beyond
can be hoped for Neao York Ea-
press.

Advantages of Forehandea,ess.

Some farmers complain that they are
always behind with their work on ac-
count of not keing forehanded enough
to carry on their premises independ-
emily; that they have to help. their
neighbors in seed time and harvest be-
fore attending to their own farm inter-
to do their work. Now the man who
gets in this rut is destined to remain
there just so long as he has not resoiu-
ton enough to extricate himself by
change of practice. Rather than i've
ip such condition of servitude and
self-robbery he had better pay four
times the real value of seed. tools aud
help, and mortgage to do it, and then
keep fully up to the time.
Here aud there, all over the country,
let the season be what it may, will be
found every summer inferior fields OF
grain, the result Of had seed or late
sowing, and spindling corn of late
planting. In winter will he found mp
on these farms poor stock, because fed
upon hay which was not cut until it
had lost nearly all of it, nutritious ele-
ments. The loss attending such man
agement as this one year should be
lesson TO the'one who suffers by il, but
it is not, for as before stated, he thinks
that his circumstances viii not allow
OF different course. The husband
man who is always behind time in his
farm operations is, in addition to the
Inconvenience alluded to, subject to
the tricks of sharpers in the CONNER
cial world. AS soon as an article of
produce is marketable ii must, through
the ever pressing demand for money,
be sold, let prices range as they may
and this subjugation of class has an
effect more detrimental upon the pro-
duce market than any other influence
brought to bear upon it. So whole
community is afflicted by the inadver-
lance of a class.

. l.
| IL Is maxim well settled that the
courts of the country should be far re-
i moved from the ecccntricities Of the
popnlace, the enthusiasm of the hour
that sometimes settles down upon a
community. tits expected and greatly
to be desired that judges shall dispas-
sionately adjudicate upon all questions
submitted to them, as nearly free from
outside matters, as may be possible. =
The country rightly thus considers the
province of the bench.
While this view is eminently proper,
yet 1t is not true, but that the courts
ought in . proper sense to receive tone
and bent from the popular pulse. In
the great struggle that is going for
ward in the world upon the vital qnes-
tion of human freedom, it is impossi-
BILE for judges like legislators to be
free from more or less of the bias of
opinion. 1t is natural, it is inevitable,
that judges like other men should in
cline to base opinions upon, or at least
have their opinions Influenced by the
peculiar views they entertain upon
questions Of public polity. This al
ways has been the case and always will
be.
A few years ago the Supreme arbiter
of constitutional law in the land, was
SO constituted thatit saw guaranty in
the constitution for the Dred Scott de-
cision. Unquestionably this opinion
was the result of the bias of the minds
Of the Supreme Judges of the United
States, at that time being favorable to
American slavery. The weakness of
human Judgment is irrevocably doom
ed to just such exhibitions; all history
exemplifies it. The popular heart re-
volted, at least the larger moiety there
of, and the Supreme Court underwent
a revolution at the hands of the people.
1t was well; it was a grand advance
step in the cause OF liberty. Such for
ward movements are the salt Of the
earth, and cobweb courts standing in
the way ought and will be pushed
aside.
We therefore say that when any
great public interest demands it,.
courts that have not kept pace with the
current, like all other rubbish, lodged
along the shore, will at the flood tide
float out and be thrown of as useless.
No dignified judicial robe will or
ought to save court from the verdict
of the people in such cases. If any
wealthy corporate interest has undue
weight with any Judge; If his mind
has become intoxicated in any particu-.
lar interest, it is healthy for the public
good, that it should awake to its inter-
est and retire such judge to private
life. E#
