E9-The New Orleans Bulletin thinks this
kind of excited balderlash of sufficient i'm
portance to publish a second time, with all the
startling effect that can be given to it by capt
tai and double leading
"Patriots of the North, let the voice of Grants
victims in Louisiana warn you in time. Arm
yourselves without delay band yourselves to-
gether in military array organize by States,
and have your worthy and trusty leaders chos-
en-. Let those who love liberty know each
other, and get used to concerted action. Put
aside funds munitions and stores enough for a
prolonged campaign. Be ready when duty de-
mands it to take the field in such numbe as to
crush out tyranny before it becomes supreme.
You can depend upon most of the soldiers of
the armies who fought for the Government and
Union, if you organize and prepare in due
son. Your country, your threatened liberties,
and the paipabe encroachment, plain inten-
tons of your enemies, call for active prepare
ton. In the name of liberty, we conjure you
to heed this warning and be ready"
IL has been currently rumored that Senator
Gordon has invited Wendell Phillips to visit
the South to learn something about the situa-
ton of affairs and the temper of the people,
Perhaps if the editor of the bulletin was to Wis
it the North be woul learn how fiat and stale
such excited appeals sound to the people there

The PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL PREPARING FOR
THE CENTENNIaL-The Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company is making extentiye prep
arations for the business prospect during the
coming year. 1t is understood that the Com
pany propose building in Philadelphia, near
the main entrance to the Centennial buildings,
grand depot, underneath the roof of which
$4,000 people can be accommodated. The
branch track, to prevent accidents, will be
spanned over by an immense bridge, which
will serve as grand promenade, and from
which steps will descend upon either side to
the depot proper. 1t is also proposed to build
a mammoth hotel opposite the grand depot.
The hotel will be perfect although tempo
rary structure, being made up of series OF
frame work, which, after the Exposition, can
be disposed of for private cottages.

A REvoLTING CUsToM.--The polyandry of
Central Asia must be limited to the marriage
of one woman to two or more brothers, for no
other form is found there. This revolving Gus
speaking people, from China to the dependen-
cies of Kashmr and Afghanistan, with the ex
ception of Sikkim and some other of the pro-
vinces on the Indian side of the Himalaya.-
1t is probably the marriage custom'of thirty
million respectable people. Instances of three
and five husbands are quite common but the
most instances are those Of two husbands, not
because there was any objection to five or six,
butsimply because no greater number of broth
ers are usually to be found in family.

No Tariff no .Reuea1e.

There is no class Of people who think we'll or
kindly of taxes There is no class of people that
is favorable to having tariff placed upon their
goods or productions. Whenever tariff is laid
there is general squeal among everybody that
comes within its Jurisdiction. Congress is now
considering the adoption Of new revenue bill
with reference to supplying the funds necessary
TO defraying the government expenses. The bill
proposes to increase the tariff on sugar twenty
five per cent 1t proposes to increase the tax on
whisky thirty cents per gallon. The tax on to-
bacco is increased four cents per pound. And
there are other articles on which it is proposed to
raise the tax. We start with the proposition
that there will be somebody to object to any tax
mat can De imposed. Refiners, grocers and con-
sumers will object to increasing the tax on sugar.
But we hear much about the 'outrages of Louis
lana" A larger tariff on sugar cannot fail to
assist materially in building up the wasted indus
tries Of that State in the manufacture of sugar.
And no one should do aught to prevent the
restoration Of energy and life and prosperity
there. We haer no one complaining about pay
ing two cents for bank check stamps. And there
is no good reason for the repeal of this. We can
all afford to pay two cents for box of matches.
We have done it for twelve years. We can con-
tinue 10 do it. Hence it is mistake to repeal
the stamp on the matches. If we are to have
tariff except upon articles where it will be met
with no objection, we shall have the wheels of
government stop for want of grease. After all
the Gercest objection comes from the whisky
makers and users. In Quaker Philadelphia it
comes in the shape of an appeal as Oppressive
upon the manufacturers, druggists and consumers
OF medicine and those who use it in the arts."-
They say distinction should be made between
"that used in medicine and that used for drink
ing" In Cincinnati the Chamber of Commerce
sends up unanimous protest which states that
the additional tax of thirty cents per gallon on
whisky will take nearly five millions Of the CAPT.
tai of the city to other localities.
In the case of tariff the consumer pays the
tax after all. If persons do not want to pay a
tariff on whisky, they can be gratifed by not
using it. That tax which effects everybody alike
will be the most easily borne and the least objec-
tonable Yet that tax is liable to have all rising
up at once in judgement against it. But we re-
member how we heard persons twelve years ago
declare they would split their fine carriages to
kndling before they would pay tax on matches
ard then do it afterwards. Let the Committee
of Ways and Means restore the tariff to tea and
coffee, put the additional tariff on sugar and the
addition to the tax on whisky We think there
will be general benefit all around. We will
get the requisite revenue. Everybody shall be
helping to pay it. We shall be fostering the
growth and manufacture of sugar in Louisiana
and doing everybody justice.

At the meeting of the American Social Science
Association in New York, in May last, Professor
Pierce, of Harvard University, read paper upon
the subject of "0pen Lanes, !" the purport of
which was the designation of well defined paths
10 De iraversed by the different lines of steamers
in crossing the ocean, so as to diminish the dan
gers of collision. At that meeting a committee
of gentlemen was appointed to investigate and
consider the subject and report thereon, making
such suggestions as in their judgment should be
put into practice. That committee consisted Of
three gentlemen from New York, three from Phil
adelphia, two from Boston, and Thos. Whitridge
of Baltimore. On 30th Of January the commit
gave the subject considerable attention by cor
respondence. Their report discusses the strong
and weak points of different tracks generally pur-
sued By certain lines of steamers. But without
deciding in favor of either of them it states that
it is Of more Importance to adopt some certain
track than any of those most travelled. 1t is then
suggested that steps should be taken to secure
conference and concurrent action among the diff.
ferent lines and to interest similar societies on the
other side of the ocean in the cause. And then
the committee suggest that perhaps the quickest
and most effectual way to secure this concurrence
of action is through Congress. Outside of the
suggestions the committee discusses in an intell-
gent manner the importance of the subject and
shows that the liability for collision and conse-
quent loss of life is rapidly the increase. They
state the time is not far distant when there will
be ten steamers plying between the continent
where there is one now.
When we look at the disasters that appall US
with their horrors by collisions in mid ocean we
are somewhat surprised that importers, insurance
men, the owners of lines and the vast travelling
public have not taken active steps ere this to fur
nish remedy. 1t must not be forgotten though
that Hon. Roscoe Conkling Senator from New
York, fully alive TO the importance Of this as he
is to all subjects pertaining 10 national interest
and the welfare of humanity in general, intro
duced bill in the United States Senate more
than year ago asking for law authorizing az
investigation of the subject by scientific men look
ing TO the adoption of such routes, by law, as
would be most feasible for the purpose. In that
bill was included reference to winds, storms, cur
rents, advantages and disadvantages Of different
routes at different seasons Of the year, with
view to the adoption OF each route at that season
of the year when science said il could be travelled

Standardization hundred and seventy
five is the "Great Jubilee Year" in the Catho
lie church. Archbishop Bailey, of Baltimore,
has addressed pastoral letter to the Catholic
clergy throughout his Diocese, announcing
that Pope Plus the 9th has published a letter
declaring "Plenary Indulgence of the Great
Jubilee" This letter was published Decem
Der oath, 1874. This is the Goth year of Pope
Plus Pontfcate The first jubilee was held
in 1900. 1t was then held as centenary fes-
tival. 1t has since been reduced to fifty years
and then to twenty-five. Though there has
not been jubilee since 1925. That which
should have been in 1880, was not held owing
chilly to the unsettled condition Of the church
at that time. Parta Santa, the great gateway
of the Vatican, is closed except in jubilee year,
being considered too holy to be crossed in or
binary occasions. Centuries ago it was neces-
sary for those craving indulgence to visit
Rome, but now it is only necessary that they
shall visit designated churches in their own
country. Fifteen visits must be made to the
Cathedral in Baltimore for fifteen consecutive
DAYS and fifteen visits to churches for those
living outside the city. These latter can be
made at intervals.
