TAX on TEA AND COFFEE.
Tho President and tho Secretary OF the
Treasury unite In tho Recommendation that
Congress- in revising tho tariff should restore
small ta1 on ton alltt coffee, tax which was
repealed by tho samo rascally Congress that
voted the members the back-pny grab and
abolished tho coinage Of the silver dollar. Tho
condition Of Tho national revenues and Of the
manufacturing population is such Tint it
will be impossible for Congress- 10 longer
postpone or neglect tho thorough revision
Of tho tariff, which has now become ac-
rious obstacle in The way Of revival Of indus
try. The policy of excessive protection having
resulted disaatrously, especially to tho inlus-
trica intonded to 10 benefited BY IT, tho
general sense Of tho country will expect n
return to tariff having for It's purpose
sutllcioncy Of revenue with tho incidental
protection sucll tariff may atfort1. There
is n class Of porsons, however, who rojcot
nil facts and cling tenaoioAsly to the doc
trine that the proper policy Of the American
people In to produce only to meet domestic
wants, and to have no commercial dealings
with tho outside world. These demand m
adherence To tho doctrine Of protection,-
that doctrine which exacta the highest posi-.
bio taxation from the smallest amount Of
consumption, and troats that man who pro-
tluces more than ho consumes as public
enemy. Tho difference between tariff for
protection and q tariff for rovenuo Is fro
tluent1y misunderstood, md ovory man who
proposes TINT the tariff should have revouuo

hns recontiy stated, the ndvocates Of tariff
reform, while they include mnny frce-trad-
err, are all nevertheless disposed to obtain
substantial advantages aud benefits for
Tho country by tho notifications Of
tile tariff without any reference to
the question Of FREQ trntio. It Is well, how
over, to understand what tariff for revenue
is, o. compared with tariff for projection.

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
Therapeutists indicate that most diseases
are the direct result of vitiated Blood and
as their successful treatment of disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by iudcious
purgation, so this same principle, by rea-
sonable adaptation to any case, is the
surest means to prevent disease
Kellers Vegetable Life Drops are an abb
solute preventive of diseases caused by i'm
purity Of the Blood, of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, Intestines, etc. Its
corrective influence will prevent or short
en- attacks of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Merry
GUS Debility, Uterine disorders Fever and
Ague and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced by malarial poison. To pre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood if
needed by using reliable Alternative and
purgatiYe; this, conjoined with the observ-
ance Of hygienic directions, viii establish
a condition Of body in which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful perusal Of the "Manual of Purga-
tive and Depumtiye Medicine" will fully
illustrate the subject of which the above
is mere outline, and will clearly indicate
the method of using Kellers Vegetable
Life Drops. To be had at Drug Stores or

WhVWe become Sick

Aside from hereditary pre-disposition
to many diseases, there are four prominent
causes of much Of human disease, and
these are: Impure air, which causes poi
soning of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
eases; unhealthy water, which is great
source of Typhoid and kindred feYers;
improper food, which is the cause of
Stomachic and Intestinal arrangement;
and sudden changes of climate and tenn
perature, which induce congestive disor-
ders. Thus, the absolute essentials of life
are often charged with the principles and
poisoned with the germs Of disease and
death. Whenever the proportional prin-
clples of the Blood become disturbed from
any Of the causes named, impoYerishment
or poisoning Of this fluid follows; if the
digestive organs act abnOrmally, Dyspep-
sia and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends to eX-
cite the unusual action of the Liver is
certain 10 produce Bilious diseases; and
whenever there is torpitude or sluggish
ness of the bowes-COnstipation, with its
host Of attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
it becomes comparatively easy to explain
Why We Become Sick. BY neglecting
the laws of nature, and eating unsuitable
food, or eating wholesome food in an
improper manner; by abundant drinking
at meals, by many other improprieties Of
eating and drinking, and particularly by
that one Notwithstanding habit peculiar
to the American people-rapid eating
Indigestion or Dyspepsia is established
with all of its distressing consequences;
Immediately the Blood lowers its Standard
and begins to deposit its impurities in the
weakest parts of the system, causing en-
manner Of discomfort and diseases accord
ing to the degree Of impurity and the
point of deposit. The great organs be-
come involved; the Brain feels the bad
influence; the Liver, the Spleen, the
Heart, the Lungs, the Kidneys, the Skin
ali are affected, and unless the impurity
be removed, the whole volume of the
Blood will become so poisoned that exist

The sovereignty of West Virginia
received blow in the recent strike
which it will be slow to recover from.
In arguments for the increase of the
national army, this State is held up
by the press as a striking example of
the need of larger army; as for in
stance the Philadelphia Press re-
marks: Five or six Governors were
suddenly compelled by unexpected
events to call upon the President for
armed assistance, and even in some
portions ofourOwn peaceful common
wealth the national troops rendered
invaluable aid in upholding the arm
of civil authority, while in some of
the other States, and notably in West
Virginia, all the local authorities
were powerless as antagonists of riot
and insurrection." The Press con-
cludes that the experiences of the
year plainly prove that troops may
be suddenly needed for purposes of
vital Importance to millions of citi-
zens, and it is scarcely conceivable
that Congress will fail to provide for
the palpable and pressing contingies
that have been forced upon the atten-
tion of the country by painful events.

The success, SO far, of the Moffet

to newspaper discussion of the adj
visibility of adopting 1t in other
States. The Chicago Tribune has
figured up the revenue which the
instrument would bring into the

a large revenue than the State has
now, and one that would obviate all
other taxation for Stale purposes.
The revenue in Chicago alone would
be 81 100000 The State of Tennes-

had better adopt it , if she will not

How to Cure Sickness

Natures method of publication and
consequent cureis founded on the rational
principle of judiCious uTgation;and when
1t is considered that the best physicians
pursue the practice of attention to the
stomach and bowels as preliminary land
often the only treatment of disease, it is
not difficult to perceive that q remedy
possessing all the requisites of a purgative
and Alternative in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
Oritself more than ordinary consideration
and favor Our remedy combines every
quality required for the treatment of dis
ease on the above-named rational princi-
pie. 1t is pleasant Cathartic, active
or gentle, according to the dose; it is a
Blood purifier toning and enriching this
fluid by its Alternative property; its action
on the Liver is soothing and certain, pro-
noting the Biliary secretions; it is safe
and reliable Emmenagogue, acting 'specifi-
cally upon the uterine system; it affords
the greatestattainabl relief in Dyspepsia,
and cures whenever used as directed;
and in conjunction with hygienic means
is the best preventive Of Constipation
that can be suggested. t'.
From the above it would then appear
that the simplest method to cure sickness
Is that one which combines judicious pur-
CATION with physical sustenance, and the
observance. Of hygienic measures; the
head should be kept cool, the feet warm,
and the bowels open; and when treating
diseases on the principles exhibited in the

The absurdity and Injustice of our
present double system of taxation,
according to which we first tax prop
erty and then tax the title to it, or
what has been borrowed on it, was
perspicously set forth at the recent
Social Science gathering at Saratoga.
The Shipping List remarks that tho
time has been when we could well
afford to be quite Indifferent to our
taxes, they being, comparatively,
very light. But those days are pass
ed away, and we have entered on a
new era of larger conceptions, larger
desires, and Of course, larger expend-
itures. Settlement day has come,
and we are constrained by our heavy
burdens to stop and consider if we
cannot devise d ulster way of taxing
ourselves, and thereby gain relief
while compelling economy. The
fact which we have got to face is sim
ply one of economy as nation we
must husband our resources and save
our strength. AS we have been
wasting, 80 we must begin to accu-
mulate again in order to replace our
loss. In short, we shall soon find, if
we have not done so already, that the
day of small things is come back
again, and that idea the people are
from this time forth to keep sound
ing in the ears ofour Legislators, both
State and national.

Skobeleff swan the Danube on
horseback to show it could be done,
and has had five horses shot under
him during this campaign. During
one of his reconnoissances near Plev-
ma he came in view of a delicious
spring of water, apparently inacces-
sible, however, because of the hail
ofTurkish bullets that battered round
it. The soldiers shrank back from
facing almost certain death, till
Skobeleff dismounted, leisurely
walked to the fountain, drak freely
of its waters, and bathed his face and
hands. Stung by this implied taunt
the soldiers rushed forward to shield
him; Skobeleff ordered them under
arrest for leaving their ranks and
calmly walked back.

A subject which was before the
railroad conference at New York last
week, and which still remains unset
tied, is the position of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad with repect to the
other trunk lines as regards thejustice
ofits claims to any portion ofthe New

Baltimore and Ohio, that, if allowed
to work Independently, it could se-
cure fully one.hfth of the business
from New York to the West, and, in
view of the fact, its allowance of nine
per cent. is manifestly too low. For

consented to let the matte fifest for the
present. The other managers, and
especially Mr. Vanderbilt, claim that
the Baltimore and Ohio is not enti-
tied, under natural and equitable
apportionn'ent of the business, to any
freight from New York. They say
that at the time the percentages were
agreed to, last June, 1t was deemed
advisable to allow the Baltimore and
Ohio nine per cent. for the purpose
Of conciliating it, and preventing any
open competition from that source.
They say, also, that the company will

that it is not in any way d New York

When Marion awoke the next morning, h was broad day. She looked toward her slH- ter's bed. It was vacant. In sore alarm she arose, dressed herself hastily, and sought Lis cite in the house. No trace of her sister was to be found. Where could she be Why had she got up and gone out stealthily?
 Shelweft into the garden, and, opening the gate, looked along the road. No figure was in view either on road ormOor. The clouds which obscured the heavens last night had noated away, and the morning sun blazed high In the east, flooding the level landscape with glory. Flowers called to one another, flies in brilliant mail buzzed and flashed hither and thither. The two placid clefts of water reaching away to- ward the sun seemed like discarded sworIis of agigantic nature lying peacefully out of use.
 But where was Lisette?
 Marion stood and listened. Presently, ahe thought she heard sobs, proceeding froman ar- Dor beside the house. She listened again. There was no doubt some one: Lisette was sobbing in that arbor. Oh, poor broken-heart- ed Hsette Poor afflicted sister!
 She hastened toward the arbor. As she ap- preached there were sounds of movements, and, ere she gained the threshold, Q pale dark eyed girl came to the entrance and beckoned to Marion. The latter stretchedout her hands

The BROOKLYN Sufferers.

A public meeting was held in the
Brooklyn Academy of Music, on Friday
evening last, in behalf of the sufferers
by the late disastrous fire in the Brook
lyn pheater. Judge Gilbert was called
to preside. The Finance Committee
having in charge the funds contributed
for the relief of the sufferers made re-
port, stating that the following sums
have been received: Through the Mayor,
50, 920 %; the Union for Christian Work,
Sl,S04; the New York Relief Associa-
tion, $5,S5S; through Daniel Chauncey,
81, ,62T y. Total, SIG, ,209 Al.
The Investigations made as to the
conditions of the families of the victims
resulted in ascertaining the following
facts: OF those who perished, 81 left
widows aud small children, who had
been entirely dependent on them for
their support. Four left widows alone
entirely destitute. Twenty-Five left wild
owed mothers with children, who looked
almost exclusively to the ones taken
away for their subsistence. Eight left
widowed mothers, whose last family tie
was swept away by the flames, and who
are now entirely dependent on the char
| ity of strangers. Six left orphan sisters
and brothers who depended on them,
and 45 young men destroyed left parents
who had learned to lean OF them in
their declining years, and on whose aid
their families mainly depended for their
existence. Eleven widows who are
about to become mothers are numbered
among the suffering survivors. Two
hundred and sixty-three families have
been visited; 109 of these will require
permanent assistance, and 70 will re-
quire temporary aid for the winter al
least. The aggregate number Of per
sons embraced in these families is, 81
far as known, between 900 and 700. The
sum disbursed for temporary relief wa!
$1,000, aud $4,000 would be required t.
pay funeral and other expenses not pro
vided for by the city. Already allot
ments to the amount of S673 a weel
had been made, and the probabilitie
were it would be necessary to increas
the amount to 81, 600 per week.

Source of Our Great Lakes.

Among the most interesting of the
scientific papers presented at Buffalo
was the one of Professor Newbury, in
regard to the origin of our great lake
chain. He tells us that at one time
Ontario, Erie and Huron apparently
formed portions of the valley of a river
which subsequently became the St.
Lawrence, but which then flowed be-
tween the AdriOndacks and Appala-
chains, in the line of the deeply-buried
channel of the Mohawk, passing through
the trough of the Hudson and empty
ing into the ocean eighty miles south
east of New York. Lake Michigan was
apparently then part of a river course
which drained Lake Superior and emp
tied in the Mississippi, the straits of
Mackinaw being not yet opened. After
that it would appear, came the "cold
period,n when huge ice glaciers We're
formed in the mountains above what is
now the lake-chain, and moving south
ward, scooped out the lakes from pla-
teau previously existing there, gradu-
ally broadening their basins by grind
ing away their southern margins with
an incOnceivable power. At length the
intense cold period passed, and the gla-
cier which had before flowed over the
watershed in Ohio was so far reduced
as to be unable to overtop its summit,
but, DETECTED by it, flowed along its
base, spending its energies in cutting
the shallow basin in which Lake Erie
now lies.
The professor goes on to say that this
melting of the glaciers was accompa-
MED, perhaps occasioned, by sinking
of the Continent, which progressed un-
til the waters of the Atlantic flowed up
the valleys of the St. Lawrence to
Kingston, and up the Ottawa to Arm
prior. The valley of the st. Lawrence
and the, Hudson were connected by way
of Lake Champlain, and thus the high
lands of New England was left as an
island. 1t is also possible that the sea-
water penetrated TO the lake basin
through the valley of the Mohawk and
/ through that of the Mississippi, but OF
this we have no evidence in the pres
ence of marine fossils. The theory oil
the formation of the great lakes has
always been an interesting subject, and
| the late Prof. AgassiZ made special
study of Niagara. According to the
opinions Of some experts, this so-calleC
"new-world' of ours was really the "olC
world"-that is, the first to become rea.
sonably fit for the abode of primitive
man
