NE W YORK TRIBUNE
The Leading American Newspaper"
FOUNDED BY HORACE GREELEY.

In the recent elections the people have de-
clared in favor of honesty in politics and in
dependence in journalism. The TRIBUNE,
which years ago declared that it was not and
never would be party organ, claims the ver-
dict, the popular vlndlcation of its course,
and recogizes in the result the voice of the
people for reform and integrity in govern
ment for candor and independence among
newspapers. During the campaign which has
Just closed THE TRIBUNE has fully maintained
its right to the title of Lead ng American
Newspaper. This position it has earned and
retains for the following, among other reas-
ons:
ly and more inteliigently than any other pa
per. n. .e
1t insists on peace throughout the whole
country, the right of local self-government,
and the protection of all classes in the exer-
else of their just and legal rights.
! 1t advocates confidence and good feeling be-
| tween North and South, and labors for
honest and abiding reconciliation.
1t maintains fairness and candor toward all
public men and questions and dignity and
courtesy towards associates and rivals.
| 1t publishes scientific news, reports, discus
Isions and discoveries to decree of fulness
and accuracy never before attained by any
paper.
! It gives every week ten or more columns of
| the most carefully prepared agricultural mat
| ter during the year, much more in the aggre-
! gate than the entire contents of any other ag-
| ricultural publication, and the whole forming
a department of which an eminent agricultur-
al editor said: ''It has done more to. make
good farmers than any other influence which
ever existed.
\ 1t has published series of scientific and
literary extracts which have met wider sale
and more emphatic popular approval than an y
similar publication of the kind.

There is one sin which it seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, tolerated with undue toler-
ance, and quite too much overlooked in
our valuations OF character. 1t is the
sin of fretting. 1t Is As common rs air,
as universal as speech; so common that
unless it rises above its usual monotone
We do not even observe it. Watch any
ordinary coming together of people, and
see how many minutes it will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes q more

Height Of Human Beings.

NJ. Silbermann draws proof Of the
equality of the sexes from a somewhat
novel mode of studying the human
species. He finds that the average height
of the individual i'm France, male and
female, is l.60O04 metres, when stand
ing with the arms hanging by the side,
and two metres when the arms are ex-
tended above the head. Two persons
lying extended would measure four
metres, which is to the earth's meridian
as to 10, ,OOO, 600, precisely as one metre
is to the earth's quadrant as to IL, 900, :
600. Four metres, therefore, or the
average measure of a welded pair, he
calls the base of the harmonic proper
tions of the human race, in which
woman fills one-half the measure, and
therefore is by right, equal to man. A
more interesting result of N. Silber-
mann's measurements and studies is his
conclusion that the average height of
the human race has not changed since
the Chaldean epoch, four thousand
years ago. This strangely confirms the
view Of the substantial identity of the
races, into which the family of man is
now divided, with those which existed
in the beginning of the historic period.

There lived once in Stockholm an old
man of nearly hundred winters. He
was tailor by profession and had twelve
sons, who all served under Charles XII.
Once they got few days leave Of alb
sence from their regiments, to go and
see their old father, whom they found,
on their arrival, without bread, and
nearly starving. Father has no bread, {"
said one of them, ''yet he has given to
Sweden twelve warriors! Our dear
father must be helped, but howl"
Cant We find somebody who would be
willing to lend us q little money!"
asked the youngest, who had good deal
of faith i'm God and good-hearted people.
'Try to borrow money when we have
nothing to give in security! What good
will that dor" asked another. "Have
we nothing at all 2" asked the youngest.
'My brothers, / will show you that we
have. Our father is q tailor, and has
carried on his trade q good many years,
and Is now about to die of starvation.
This is sufficient proof of his honesty.
We, his sons, have served for many
years in the ranks Of the Swedish army,
and no one can yet show q stain upon
our honor. Let US give this, our honor,
rs security; think we might borrow .
little money on such . pledge"
This idea won their general approval.
The twelve brothers wrote and signed
the following letter: "We twelve

100 years Of age, deprived Of the neces-

THEY SHOULD BE MADE USEFUL.

The energy some children manifest in
mischievous pranks may be made to sub
serve useful and instructive purposes.
Little odds and ends Of employment may
be given them-work suited to their
small capabilities may be assigned them
and under judicious directions and
cOnsiderate encouragement their little
heads and hands can accomplish much,
and that gladly. The bright little ones
who would "help" should not be re-
PEELED with harsh words, but some SIM
pie task should be devised for their oc-
cupatiOn, and some trifling thing-sO
very great to them-should be the re-
ward Of its performance
As . general rule, give your children
something to do. A daily employment
of some sort will exercise their minds
healthfully, and develop elements Of
usefulness and self reliance which may
prove intellectually valuable to their
manhood and wOmanhOOd. Miserable
is the plea urged by some that they
"have not the time" to look after their
children. No such pretext can divest
them Of the grave responsibilities which
the having of children imposes. The
laws of God and humanity demand Of
parenJs tne Dtst care anu tTdtntnR Iof
their children they can bring into exer-
else. How many poor wretches there
are taxing society with their mainte-
nance, who owe their wOrthlessness and
sins to the negligence of their parents
in developing and directing good natu-
raj endOwments for lives Of industry
and independence. Large firmness in
child is a good thing; 1t contributes
to steadiness of thought and deed.
Large self-esteem is desirable, in that it
considers the sense of personal worth
and dignity. Large approbativeness is
most serviceable in its restraining and
stimulating ministratiOns. Large de-
structiveness is good heritage; under
proper control it contributes courage,
holiness and progression to the charac-
ter. Large acquisitiveness, rightly
trained, supplements industry with
economy and thrift. But such qualities
in children need the guidance Of a dis
Greet parent. Mismanagement, neglect,
easily lead to their perversiOn and the
ruin of life, which, otherwise, might
have been a splendid success.-Annadi

sary means Of support, pray the directors
Of the National Bank for the sum Of two
hundred dollars to be used for the sup
port Of our old and helpless father. We
pledge our honor as security, and
promise to pay the above named sum to
the bank within one year" This letter
was handed to the directors. The sum
asked for was given to them, and the
letter torn to pieces; furthermore, the
directors promised to take care Of their
old father as long as he lived. Scarcely
had this happened before it was made
known through the entire city, and rich
and poor paid visits to the old white
headed man, and none went empty
handed. The tailor was thus placed in
good circumstances, and after his death
left small capital for each of his sons,
= reward for their filial love.

The manufacture of paper barrels,
boxes, and similar vessels for use in
place Of those generally made Of wood
is rapidly increasing, seven patents and
AN equal number Of factories for pro-
ducing the articles being now in opera
tion, all in the Western States.
In the first of these patents. the paper
used i'm the fabrication Ia nrenared nrin-
cipally from straw and 4 nressed sey-
eral sheets at time. into A firm. compact
sheet. which when dry becomes tougher
than wood. The sheet il then bent into
cylindrical form. and its OnpOsing edges
which are previously cut into doyetaiis.
fitted together. Double pointed nails
are drawn through the doyetailed ends
from the outside of the barrel, and are
clinched upon the inner surface of a strip
Of wood placed vertically along the in
side of the joint. The heads are of wood,
fitted inte the ends with fiange resting
against the edge and are secured by nails
driven through the sides of the barrel.
Hoops Of wood or iron are added to pro-
tect the latter from abrasion or wear,
and the paper Is thoroughly water
prOOfed.
Another mode Of making the barrels
Is to form them directly from the paper
pulp, the latter being taken from the
cylinder Of the wet paper machine and
carried round an expanded cylinder
until it becomes Of the requisite thick
ness. The cylinder is then contracted
and removed, leaving the barrel all
formed and ready for passage between
two rollers. These are so arranged that
one presses ON the inside ana the other
on the ouIslue Oh tne Darrei, moving
the iatter oetweeh tnem, ana AZ the
same tme eompressing ana hardenihg
the paper; Inc Vessei Is then a JOINT
less cyhnuel, anu nothlhg remains Dut
10 insert the heads anu secure the
hoops In place.
Securing the heads in paper barrels
appears to be difficult portion of the
manufacture, and there are two patents
on this especial point. In one the in
ventiOn consists in fastening MANILA
or other strong paper around the head
so as to form a flexible edge. This,
after the head Is inserted, Is crimped
so as to line the rim Of the barrel,
over which 1t Is bent and secured by
hoops.

or the Costume Of Middle.Aged and
Old l-adfes.

at Is mystery to me-" said Eleanor
Jones, a young, pretty, lively, Welsh
girl, .'why old women will persist in
wearing bright cOlOrs. Why don't they
keep to grays and browns, and all such
tints becoming to their years?" This
remark was addressed to a clever, shrewd
man of about thirty-fiye, an artist of
repute, about whom it was surmised
that the fair Eleanor was trying to spin
the web-matrimOnial, but who i'm society
was notable for paying his devoirs to
ladies long past their youth, and par
ticularly to one of perhaps middle age,
remarkable in her dress for the rich
cclOrs which harmonized well with her
charming, quiet manner. ''One cannot
judge a wOman's age who dresses in
such gay cOlOrs," remarked Eleanor,
almost snappishly. "My dear young
lady" said the artist, gravely, ''yOu
have said the truth. When woman
cOnceals her age by judiciOus material
and color she does wise thing. have
heard great deal about the beauty of
old age / never could discern it-in
itself alone, the charm of manner, the
grace of healthy old age, is another
thing-both are worthy of reverence,
but we don't reverence beauty, and if
woman by judiciOus attire can make
herself beautiful even in her decline, no
man past youth can withstand the adj
miratiOn she inspires. L look at it in an
artists point of view, and in an artistic
manner every woman, young or old,
should attire herself-shOuld be taught
this in her early youth. Young ladies
Of past age, As well as of the present,
makes themselves pegs for hanging on
various devices of costume, which, taken
tOgether( are grotesque. They, indeed,
load one artifice upon another till all
shape Of grace is lost; one color upon
another, or tOtality of one color, with
out contrast, till the beauty of the face
or dress is lost to view in painful bewil-
derment. What does youth and beauty,
or youth without the latter, want with
all this perversiOn of taste? Is not a
healthy youth, with its peach-blOOm
complexion or coral tint on the cheek
and lips of brunette, beautiful? Nay,
it is more; it is glorious. What need,
then, to deform this as absurdly as will
a South Sea Islander his skin? All
conquering youth may do as it pleases.
Somebody has said that the history of
heroes is the history of youth 1 don't
think a hero was ever shared with
glitter; but some men, like moths, are
caught with it, So ii a girl arrayed i'm
glitter catches moth, let her be thank
full and not grumble. ."-Lddies' Treasury.

A regular Turkish bed is something
different from ours. There is no bed
stead nor mattress, but about thirty
thickly padded quilts, covered with silk
or satin, laid one on top Of the other OH
the floor, until they are about two feet
deep. The sheets are invariably Of silk,
embroidered, and the coverlid is a mar

satin or velvet. The pillows are of pink,
blue or yellow satin, covered with beau

large jewelled and gilded hoop, and
from this rich curtains, which encircle
