charge his duties honestly in spite OF the ad-

large share going to Pennsylvania or Mary
land. 1t was absolutely certain that, had
the old rates been maintained, the traihc
would have been so completely and perma-
nently diverted to other cities and other routes
that the Canals would have failed to pay ex-
penses. The State would have been com
PEELED to abandon them entirely, or to tax
itself heavily every year to MAINTAIN thcm
with their high charges. The only hope OF
making them self-sustaining was IN such re-
duction of tolls as might enable them to win
back share of the traffic already diverted.
This result 1t is proved the reduction has al
ready secured, and it is mere folly to propose
a return to high tolls, by which the Canals
were being so rapidly deprived of traffic. Es-
pecially it is folly to make such change
before the effects of reduction have been
fairly ascertained by a full year OF ordinary
gram movement.

South Carolina and Louisiana were States with tho
same nights and privileges enjoyed by Mass
achnsetts and Ohio. The President marched tho
troops out OF the State Houses at Columbia and New
Orleans not because the people in those capitals or
throughout tho two States had cOyenanted that
henceforth they would keep the Ten Commandments
or obey Statute Law, reverence the Constitution.
but because the troops had no business there

rsburgh. IL some abandoned Last Dltcher

against the wisdom justice Of tho Presidents

political depravity of the Bourbon. The duty Of
the President was not complicated by any guessing
as TO whether not, one was harboring an in-
tention to get himself ready to misbehaye in the

1t is a shocking story that is given elsewhere
of the way in which witnesses for the Govern
ment in an Alabama counterfeiting case have
been killed off some by poison and some by
shooting. Horrible as this showing is, it is
one we may expect to see repeated until the
day. when the mass of the people of the South,
including United States Senators, have learned
to look upon violations of the Federal law
with less compacency than at the present time.
Probably by the time illicit distilng is con-
sidered disgraceful, it will be safe to testify

The net result of the recent operations in
Armenia, has been to check the advance Of
the Russians on Erzerum, and enable Mukhtar
Pasha to send troops to the relief of Kars. 1t
is noteworthy, that in the last war, an expedi-
ton against Erzerum also failed but that CIR
cumstance did not prevent the Russians from
capturing Kars their army having remained
before that city, as late in the year as Novem-
her. With ample time still for military oper-
ations. no reason can be adduced why the
Russians should not retrieve their losses by
more vigorous efforts at kars, the true key to
Armenia.

HELPS TO OkATORYs

A glass of sugar-and-water has long been
the traditional sustenance of French orators
while delivering their speeches in the Cham
Der. OF late years, however, some notable
politicians have preferred more exhilarat-
ing kind of refreshment, M. Pouyer-Quer-
tier is, or was formerly, supplied with bur-
gundy while addressing the representa-
tives of the people. On one occasion he
tossed off bumper of champagne in sight
of the Assembly previous to the utterance
of an admirable speech on finance. In the
course of his last famous Grafton M. Gam
BETA is reported to have drunk eight glasses
of black coffee. It is said that when he
called for the third his friends presented
him with a 'mazagran." as the French
term mixture of coffee and water, and
that they considerably gave decided pre-
ponderance to the pure element. 1t is fur
ther added that the ex-Dictator made wry
face as he swallowed the insipid mix
ture. What is certain is that M. Gam
BETA felt i'll at the close of the proceedings,
whether in consequence of having swallowed
eight glasses of coffee and water or by rea-
son of other causes may be left to conjec-
ture. Brillat-Savarin mentions the case of
an acquaintance of his who suffered serious
" from the immoderate use of coffee. He
was almost bent double, and had been COM
PEELED to reduce himself to an allowance of
five or six cups daily. What it is best to
speak on is somewhat difficult question to
resolve. The English orators of the classic
period were rather of M. Pouyer-Quertier's
than of M. Gambetta's way of thinking in
this particular matter, and no doubt in
many others. Pitts port, which he fire.
quently diluted with water, is historical.
On certain occasion it is recorded THAT
Sheridan, being violently assailed by a
member who spoke from the opposite side
of the House, abruptly rose and retired in
to the dinner room. There he called for a
bottle of Madeira emptied the whole of its
contents into slop-basin, and drank them
without once pausing to take breath. He
then returned to the House, and was soon
on his legs demolishing the previous
speaker. Never, as friend and foe alike
declared, had his oratory been SO inn
passoned or so splendid. - Philadelphia

CURIOSITY OF BIRDS.

The Florida pelican-of which bird there
are many varieties-is famed for his Gu
riosity. While shooting snowy herons un-
der cover of rubber trees on an island IN
Lake Worth, l saw cock pelican perched
on low bush twenty feet away, apparently
regarding me with astonishment. The re-
port of the gun did not seem to frlghten
him. After few shots l was surprised to
see him approach me. He came nearer at
every discharge, until made a rush and
caught him by the bill. After jibing him l
let him 90. He backed off few steps,
eyeing me intently, spread his wings,
gravely wabbled over the low foliage, ana
I saw him no more. Probably it was
the first time he had ever seen human
being.
