ton of the people of England has
not been sufficiently called to the
Importance Of this great Exposi-

to organize the necessary display

Our Irish population have already
all gone to America, and have
ceased to excite curiosity except at
elections and funerals, but we hope
a fair representation of Highlanders
in their native costume will go over
to add to the picturesqueness of the
scene as compared with the North
American Indians and the China
men. We have not seen at any of
the former expositions such va
rlety of the human race as may be
expected at Philadelphia; it is the
city Of the Quakers, aud they will
muster strong in their peculiar cos

then War-pant and feathers; the
Southe II negroes, clad in the pan

we wait; the South Americans and
Mexlcans will display their taw-

An Appeal to England.

From the London Hour
We cannot expect to competewith
our Southern neighbors in painting,
statuary, or the imaginative crea-
tons of man, but we do pretend to
be a solid unitarian people, and
profess to have made some progress
in material Improvement, but it is
by no means certain that our chill
dren across the water have not
made more. "Necessity is the
mother Of inyention," and they
have had great necessity for inven-
ton. W e had as well 90 over and
see how the young people are get
ting on, and we feel sure Of having
a cordial welcome. Jonathan as
represented on the stage, and iona
than at home, are very different
characters.
The guilds Of London might give
our American cousins treat by
visiting them at their Centennial in
medieval toggery. The Lord
Mayor and his coach, with the pa
rade attendant, would make a great
sensation in America, and add an
| attractive feature to the Exposition.
They have no such shows in the
United States, and while on the
subject, We should recommend a
large importation Of Punch and
Jud y, for, strange to say, that ia
miliar exhibition has never vet been
the delight of the American chi
dren and nurserymaids, and "a
"Punch and Judy Company Linn
iteO" could earn large dividends by
Introducing that amusing pantomime
at the Exposition. \ four wheeled
cab would also be a curiosity on
the other side Of the Atlantic. It's
mechanism would exhibit our super

WOMEN'S UGLY TOES.
An Interesting After Election Essay
Read It aud Be Comforted.

Cincinnati Commercial Canova
chose $50 beautiful women from
whom 10 model his Venus, and
among them all could not find de-
cent set Of toes. If he lived now-a-
days what luck would he have I'M
der the dainty little buttoned boots,
with their sharp pointed heels?
As soon as the hopeless baby can
put its foot on the ground, and be-
fore it can complain in words, shoes
are put on it by which the width of
the toes is contracted fully q halt
inch and usually a stiff counter is
ordered to the neel, with some vague
idea of ''s,rengthenln@ the an
kle. "fa From that time no matter
how watcIl.al or sensible its parents
may be Ill ether respects, these in
struments OF torture always con-
stitate a part of its dress. The toes
are forced into a narrower space
year by year, ''to give a good shape
to the foot" until they overlap and
knot and knob themselves over with
incipient corns an bunions. Then
the heel is lifted from the ground by
artificial means, and thus the action
Of the call muscles is hinlered and
the elastic cartilage Of the whole
foot is stlffened at the earliest and
most tender period Of its growth.
The result is d total lack of
elasticity in the step and carriage,
and a foot inevitably distorted.
American women aye noted for
cramped and mincing walk. South
ern children re more fortunate in
this matter than those in The North,
as 1t Is custom AIRY, even In the wealth
lest classes, to let their feet go I'M
covered until the age of six.
Mothers in the North are not
wholly to blame, however as the eli
mate requires that the feet shall be
covered, and it is almost impossible,
even In New York, to find shoes
properly made for children, unless a
last is made for the foot. As a new
last would be required every month
or so. very few parents re able TO
give the watchtunuss and money
required: bat, if the proper shape
was insist ed upon by those buying
shoes, dealers would quickly furnish
them.

flows down the open outlet of the State

! Hows down the open gulIet OF the State.
! But our State is not alone. The liquor
bill of Pennsylvania during 1870 was more
than sixty five millions of dollars, sum
equal to one-third of the entire agricultural
product of the State. Illinois paid more
fifty eight millions. Massachusetts paid
more than twenty-five millions, sum equal
to fve-sixths of her agricultural products,
while the liquor bill of Maine was only
about four millions and quarter. Mr.
Hargreaves takes the figures of Massachu
sets and Maine to show how prohibitory
law does, after all, reduce the drinking but
it is not our purpose to argue this question.
What we desire to show is, that. with an
annual expenditure of $6OO,0O0,OOO for
liquors in the United States-and all the
figures we give are based upon official sta
tistcs-it is not to be wondered at that the
times are hard and the people poor Not
only is this vast sum wasted; not only the
capital invested is diverted from good uses,
and all the industry involved in production
taken from benefcent pursuits, but health,
morality, responsibility, industry and life
are destroyed Sixty thousand Americans
annually lie down in drunkards grave
1t were better to bring into the field and
shoot down sixty thousand of our young
men every year, than to have them go
through all the processes Of disease, degre-
dalton, crime and despair through which
they inevitably pass.
With six hundred millions of dollars
saved to the country annually, how long
would it take to make these United States
rich not only, but able to meet, without
disturbance and distress, the revusions in
business to which all nations are liable ?
Here is Il question for the, statesman and
politician Twenty-Five years of total abstl-
nence from the consumption of useless and
worse than useless liquors, would save to
the country fifteen billions of dollars and
make US the rlcheSt nation on the face of
the globe. Not only this sum-beyond the
imagination to comprehend-would be saved
but all the abominable consequences of
misery, disease, disgrace, crime and death
that would flow from the consumption of
Snch an enormous amount of poisonous
fluids, would be saved. And yet temperance
men are looked upon as dsturbers and
fanatics! And we are adjured not to bring
temperance into politics And this great
transcendent question OF economy gets the
go by, while we hug our little issues for the
sake of party and of Office Do we not de-
serve adversely ? Dr.. T. G. Holland .ScriJ,,e.
