had "neyer read Shakespeare's works

This last recital called out Mr.. W.,
who convulsed our little group by rela-
ting this comical story of venerable Mr.

Boston as not the hub only, but the for.
ward wheels also, of the universe.
The excellent old gentleman, having
confessed to L. e. that he had never
found time during his busy life to read

do SO during the winter then approach

season just passed. "Yes," he replied,
he had read them all.

The New Law for Standard Weight oi
Produce.

The new statute prescribing, and in
some instances changing, the weight of
grain and some other products, which
took effect January Ist, is as follows:
A bushel of wheat, potatoes, peas,
beans, clover seed, and all kinds of
beets and turnips, shall be deemed
each sixty pounds; a bushel of rye and
Indian corn, tifty-six pounds bushel
of barley, forty-eight pounds; bushel
of buckwheat, forty-six pounds; IL
bushel of oats, thirty-twO pounds a
bushel of herd grass or timothy seed,
forty-tive pounds; bushel of apples,
forty-six pounds bushel of carrots,
fifty pounds bushel of onions, fifty
two pounds, as the standard weight
and measures of the same, in all pur-
chases and sales thereof
Each and every kind of produce emu
merated in the preceding section, shall
be in good order for shipping, and
beets, turnips, carrots and onions shall
be reasonably free from the soil in
which they grew, and fairly trimmed
of their tops.
This law lessons the weight of buck
wheat from forty-eight to forty-six
pounds per bushel; herds grass, or
timothy seed, it raises from foIty-twO
to fOrty-tive beans drop four pounds,
from sixty-fOur to sixty; onions drop
two pounds; while apples for the first
time are fixed by law, mt fOrty-six
pounds to the bushel.

The One Man Power.

The odd judge virtually settles the
whole matter The presence of four
teen men, selected because they are sup
posed to be equally divided, does not
alter his power in the least. Virtually.
the odd judge is to be the returning
board.
What are his powers to be That he
is to decide. Mr.. Edmunds admits that
the Democrats, as a rule, hold that Con-
gress can go behind the certificates,
while Republicans, as rule, hold that
it cannot. Each having chosen Repre-
sentatives of their opinion, the odd
judge is to decide whether the Consti-
tuition does or does not give power to
throw out the votes of State. More
over, his decision will be final. 1t car
be overruled only by concurrent vote OF
the two Houses, and either decision is
certain to be sustained by one House OIL
the other. In effect, then, one man is
to fix his own powers, and then exercise
them as he pleases. Is not this most
dangerous and revolutionary measure
Let it be remembered that nc one
claims a similar dangerous power fol
the Vice-President. Those who urge
that he alone can count the votes insist
that he has no power except to open
and announce the certificates of those
who are duly certified as having been
appointed by States. In the case OF
Oregon the same rule would hold. Be-
fore him are the certificates of the State
showing that three persons were ap-
pointed. Before him, also, is the cel-
titicate of two of those persons, showing
for whom they voted, and that the third
refused to act with them. In no case
is it claimed that the Vice-Paesident
possesses the power, in the last degree
dangerous to the peace of the country,
to throw out the duly certified vote OF
State.
Where will the assumption of this
power end Is it not evident that il
this bill passes, contested elections will
occur with planetary regularity, once
in four years ?-Nelo York Tribune.

The Newspapers and Their "Ads. Z"

There is no better evidence of the
depression of business than is furnished
by the advertising columns of the prom
inent newspapers of the country. Be-
fore the advent of hard times and the
orOstratiOn of trade, newspapers had
three or four times as great an adver-
tlslng patronage as they now enjoy.
The advertising of the Herald has fallen
OFF twO-thirds, notwithstanding the fact
that the very stringency compels many
to advertise for employment; the
Times, Tribune and World have much
less than formerly, and the Sun has
never acquired that position as an ad-
vertising sheet to which its large circu-
lation ought to entitle it. The great
newspapers of the West are even worse
Oft. Take, for instance, last Mondays
issue of the four most important-the
Chicago Tribune and Times, Cincinnati
Commercial, and st. Louis Republican.
The Commercial, which expresses the
wants of three states, contains barely
four and half columns; the Republi-
can, the great advertiser of the Missis-
sippi valley, rises to seven columns of
paying "ads )" the Chicago Tribune, in
some respects the greatest paper in the
country, has only six; while the Chica-
go Times, whose tireless enterprise and
audacity have given it a circulation
perhaps equal to that of all the other
three papers put together, has the beg
carly showing of three and half col
umns. Five to ten years ago, these
same papers averaged from fifteen to
forty columns IA day apiece of adver-
tisements. Trade seems utterly col
lapsed. Every paper in the country
feels the effect of it. Nine papers out
of ten are running on their expectations
of better times. Not more than one in
ten pays expenses. When business
really revives, the newspapers will be
the first to feel it, and, until that happy
reaction, no newspaper will be expected
to do much more than to stand on its
feet and keep alive.-N. Y. Graphic.
