The Old World.

The enormous increase in the expor-
tation of English salt to Boston is due
to the low rate of freight. 1t comes in
lieu of ballast.
A society is be ng formed in London
for the regulation, not abolition, of
street music, the nuisance having be-
come well nigh intolerable.
Public opinion in Germany is thus
reflected in a conversation between
two good burghers of Berlin, taken
from Berlin paper: First burgher !:
9 So we are likely to have another war
with France?" Second burgher:
Let US pray they may thrash us, so
that they may be as poor as we are"
London hours seem to be getting
later and later every season. Dinners
grow to such unconscIonable lengths
that any diner is lucky who gets
through under three full hours, and
balls never really begin till the day
after that they are fixed for. A Lon
don ballroom is a desert of floor and
candles till half past II at the earliest !;
from then till ~ it is sparsely peopled
with shamed-faced guests putting on
their gloves and making emptiness
visible, and midnight is always reached
before anything really begins to go Cd.
The China papers say that the tail
cutting epidemic" has broken out at
Pekin, and has caused great consternas
ton. The mandarins have put up a
notice Offering fifty taels for the appre-
| hensiOn of a tail cutter; but this will
hardly have much influence, for the
people are persuaded that the agency
Is supernatural. Death is said to fol-
low the loss of the tail within three
days. Several cases OF death are re-
ported, and there is much concurrent
testimony that it is difficult not to be-
| lieve. 1t is common now in the streets
to see men with their tails wound
round their heads, or hanging over the
shoulder in front. Two of the eunuchs
of the palace in Pekip have been
mysteriously deprived of their tails,
and such an occurrence taking place
within the sacred precincts of the For
hidden City naturally increased the
prevailing alarm. The druggists shops
are thronged by eager purchasers OF
cinnabar, which is an unfailing item in
the prescriptions for charms to be worn
about the person, and many Chinese
are afraid to venture out.
THE Louise Home at Washington,
the benevolent endowment of the
wealthy Mr.. Corcoran for decayed old
ladies, now lodges two Massachusetts
ladies, several Roman Catholics, as
well as representatives of every sect OF
Protestants. Among the ladies is
Mrs. Lynch, the widow of the officer
who commanded the Dead Sea expedi-
tioa. The ladies all have moved in
the highest circles, and are ending
their lives amidst the refnements and
culture that once blessed their own
homes. There is no institution like
this i'll the world, for not single re-
s'ralnt is put upon the freedom and in,
dependence of the ladies, who can even
go out and give lessons in French,
music and painting, if they wish to
earn money for their clothing, which
is the only expense they are subjected
to, and Mr.. Corcoran often plans ex
cursions and amusements for these
guests of his, as he delights to call
them.

things are regarded from the editors

the nearest newspaper and demands
that the editor shall WELD the pen

does not with alacrity espouse the
cause of his patron he will make
an enemy for life. Members of the
Press are literally hunted down by
all sorts of people who have axes to

greater mistake. People do not seem
TO realize that, on the part of the ed.

as the horse goes to the plow-be-
cause he must do so. We venture
to say that four-ftths Of these enter

How 1t Works.

The special correspondent of the
Chicago Post writing from Washing
ton says:
The more it becomes evident that
the Presidents policy is pacifcatory
to the entire South, with,the excep-
ton of carpet-baggers of bad repu-
tation, the more hostile to Hayes are
certain Northern Democrats. eSuch
of them rs are here are outspoken in
their enmity and SO utterly unreason-
able in their criticisms that their
course tends to unite the Republicans
in the defense of the Administration
more than has been the case since
Chamberlain evacuated the Capitol
of South Carolina.
The plain tendency of the situation
is also toward a rapture between
Northern and Southern Democrats.
The latter sustain the President as
earnestly as the former find fault, and
all sensible men ought to see that
the South naturally knows what is
best for the South. In short, mat
tiers are working as well as could be
expected.

Recently our saloon keepers met
for the purpose Of forming an or
ganization for mutual protection,
and among the first to address the
meeting was u wcll-known Bohemi-
an vender of lager. He said the
first thing required would be con-
stitutlon and bylaws, one of the pro-
visions in which should be that all
members confine themselves to the
sale OF beer and wine, and allow no
whisky to be sold on their premises
under any circumstances. When he
got through, the balance of the mem
bers consulted together for II few
minutes, when committee was APP
pointed, who waited upon our Bohe-
mian friend and very politely inform
ed him that his advice wasn't want
ed or his company either, and SO he
took his hat and departed, with the
understanding that he couldn't be

he got rid of his absurd conservative
notions. = Cedar Rapids Times.

Senator William G. Brownlow died
at his residence on Cumberland
street, in this city, at 5 minutes af-
ter p. M. He had been afflicted
for years with paralysis agitans, and
the immediate cause of his death
was the extension of this disease to
the bowels, paralyzing the same
During the last two months his
health has been better than usual,
and he had taken more interest in
domestic affairs during the past week
than for year previous. He had
workmen employed fixing his porches
and fences, experimenting the mat
ter in person, and walking about the
premises with more than his accus.
toned vigor. Yesterday afternoon
he paid off the men himself, and re-
tired at the usual hour. During the
night he was taken ill, when Drs. Il.
Boynton and James Rogers were
summoned, and though his illness
at length yielded to the effect of
remedies, yet the acute pain endured
had so weakened his nervous system
that he never rallied, and, refusing
to take stimulants, his family realized
that his time had come, and in their
presence (his wife and children
standing around his bedsiie) his
spirit passed calmly and painlessly
away. His remains will be placed
in a oasket tonight, and the funeral
services will take place On Tuesday
afternoon at Gray Cemetery. His
death took the community by sur
prise, and the sorrow is general.

Col. JOSEPH EIBoEcK, Of Des
Moines, the anti-fanatical fanatic of
the late Herald of Liberty, made a
speech at the Brewers Convention
at Davenport, in which he stated
that the temperance party of Iowa
had raised fund of 100000, with
which to wage war against every
brewer and bar-keeperi in the State, and
to carry the next Legislature against
the wine and bear clause. He also
said that this rich and formidable
party have an agent in every post
Office in the State, who is working
for this end and will disburse the
money. If the assembled brewers
could swallow that dish of slops with
out revulsion of the stomach, il
goes to show how much that organ
has been demoralized by the tev-
erage they manufacture.

The West Union Gazette, though
not ready to give unqualified en-
dorsement to the Presidents South
ern policy, rather fearing its results,
has, nevertheless, the good sense and
calm judgment not to make itself
ridiculous by incorporate denuncia-
ton Of the plan and Its author, in add
vance of the results, such as some
of our other Republican exchanges
are indulging in. The following
thoughtful, candid remarks upon the
removal of the troops from the
Louisiana State House, are such as
we had a right to expect from our
friend Talmadge, who never 'f1ies
off the handle" on any subject:
While we must confess to weak.
ening Of faith, we are not yet ready
to question the honesty of President
Hayes intentions, nor willing that
he should abandon his plan at the
very outset. We can bide our time,
believing that the President will not
hesitate to use the power given him
by the laws, should the necessity OF
the case demand it. Perhaps the ap
plication of the more heroic remedy
would more nearly meet the approx.
al of Republicans; but they must
concede that a thorough effort in
that direction has not cured the ills
of the Southern body polite, with q
prospect that continuation might
tend to an aggravation. Let us not
lose patience, or withdraw from the
President that confidence he so needs
in the present emergency. When
he fails to realize that his thorough
ly tested experiment has proved un
availing, then perhaps he may de
serve the criticism too many are be
slowing too soon.

We are told now that if the gush poll
cy does not succeed, the President will
change it. The horse is sometimes
caught after he gets out; but can muir
dered men be restored to life?-Cedar
Rapids Times.
Perhaps in its present rampant
mood it will be useless to ask the
Times to come down to a considera-
ton of facts and reason, but it seems
to us that before it can make its
point good against what it is pleased
to term the "gnsh" policy, it is
incumbent upon it to show that the
opposite policy of bayonet rule has
saved men from being murdered
1t was undoubtedly designed to pro

citizens, but has it succeeded, and il
not, why should it be continued?

The more we think of it, the more
we can't see any good reason for not
nominating Gov. Newbold for that
office. We have no personal ac.
quintance with the man, and don't
know that we ever met him; but we
hear HIM spoken of as Il man of in
tegrity and fair ability. We hear
also that he fills the place vacated
by Senator Kirkwool in a manner
quite acceptable. Perhaps his sue
cession to the Governors chair does
not give him any real claim to the
nomination, and yet it will have the
appearance of snub, if he is set
