The New Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-A new
tariff bill will be submitted to-
morrow to the full Committee of
Ways and Means. The present
number of articles in the tariff law
is reduced to about 500, all told, in
this bill. All changes have been
made from al valorem to specific
duties where practicable. 1t is
claimed that the bill will reduce
the cost of collecting from $780,
600 to less than $3,000,000. The
bill proposes to raise $159, GAG, 600.
Estimates by Treasury experts are
upon an average of the imports of
the past six years. The publica-
ton of the new bill at this time Is
with a view to eliciting express
sions Of public opinion before
final action. Among the more i'm
portant sectious is an expression of
privileges to American shipbuild-
ers in allowing them to import
free ofduty all foreign materials
used in the construction of vessels
designed for further encourage
ment of American navigation and
the promotion of foreign trade.
Section 3 comprises new principle
intended to encourage the exporta-
ton of American manufactured
goods made of foreign materials,
by giving to manufacturers the
privilege of obtaiuingraw materials
fres of duty, the product of
such manufacture to he exported
with due safeguards against fraud.
Section 90 makes an entirely new
provision, intended to encourage
other countries to establish recip-
rocal commercial and tariff reg uia.
lions with the United States. 1t is
an extension of the principles now
existing of discriminating duty
against vessels of foreign countries
which discriminate against the
United States in admission to their
ports of the growth or production
of this country, by admitting the
growth or production of other coun-
tries upon more favorable terms
than those of our own. This dis
elimination Is not intended as re-
taliatory, but as an inducement TO
and encouragement of such coun-
tries as now discriminate against
the United States to put us on an
equal footing with the mort favor
ed nations by treaty stipulations.

"De Minimis Non Curat Lex"

The circuit judge was aided by two as
socate Judges, whose judicial services
were paid for at the rate of three dollars
for each day of session, no mileage or
other expenses being allowed. The grade
of professional ability likely to be called
out bv such rate of compensation may
he imagined. When ithappened that the
Judge, because of some legal disability,
had temporarily to vacate his seat, the
elder of the two associates presided, and
on such occasions judge and counsel not
infrequently came into collision. An eX-
ample of old date, which went the rounds
of the bar at the time, occurs to me.
The elder associate on this occasion was
an illiterate farmer, short OF stature, lean
of person, and acrid of temper. An old
friend of mihe, John Pitcher, who has
since served with much credit as judge of
our Court of Common Pleas, was cOun-
sci in the case. He is still living, an &C.
togenarian, and was noted in younger
days for acumeu and wit, the latter usu-
ally of caustic character. In the eXer-
else of this somewhat dangerous faculty,
he had, on some occasion, offended the as
socate now presiding, who bore him
grudge in consequence.
1t was suit for damages, and Mr..
Pitcher, retained for the defense, took &C.
casion, in the early part of his remarks to
the jury, to say:
"There is a legal maxim applicable in
this case, to which invite your attention
-"De minimis non eurdt isr."
Here he paused, intending, doubtless,
to add the translation, but ere he could
do so, the judge broke in
Come, Pitcher, none of your Potto-
wsttomy Give us plain English"
The other, without turning his eyes
from the jury, or intimating by word or
gesture that he had heard the remark,
proceeded quietly in his speech for more
than half an hour before he again revert
ed to the matter, winding up thus:
But, gentlemen of the jury, this case,
at last, turns chiefly on that well-known
legal axiom, which have had already
occasion to bring to your notice, de min
imis non curdt ler,' which, reduced to the
capacity of this honorable court, means
observe, gentlemen-means law does not
care for little tritling things and'-turn-
ing sharply round on the little diminu-
tive figure, representative for the nonce

Grace Green wood at Home.

Lucy Stone visited Grace Greenwood
at her home in Colorado. which she says
is "a neat brick house, covered all over
with vines the door-yard was green with
grass, soft and fresh as that on Boston
Common in June. Thrifty apple and
cherry trees grew by the back fence,
while elm and cottonwood trees were all
along her sidewalk. Grape vines AID
Strawberries III abundance We're in their
appropriate places, while flowers, rare
and beautiful, filled every available place.
This uncovered and shaded house has,
in it, coy parlor, fac library of stand
ard books. well bound and set in hand
some bookcase. There is a piano and
violin; engravings and painting, GA the
walls, around which the climbing fern
and many another wildwood growth
twines in and out. The bay window on
one side, and the broad mullioned win
dow on the other, attract the passer, by
the bright flowers in one and the green
and growing plants in the other. The
neat dining-room holdsits share of plants,
and the cuzy living-room, with its open
fire place, looks out over a great wealth
of color from choice places in view. Or
der ,neatness and comfort are everywhere.
The mistress and owner of the house
whose artistic touches are everywhere
not only makes this hospitable home a
thing of beauty and of comfort, but
strong, sensible, executive and consecu-
tive, she carries on a large, profitable
business, and helps to organize and ar
range all the suffrage work for this great

The Duchess's Watch.

When Queen Victoria was about thirty
years younger than she is now, she was
inclined to be very exact in the way of
business, and more especially in the way
of promptness to appointed times and
places. Seven years queen, four years
wife, and three years II mother, she felt
probably more weighty dignity resting
upon her than she has felt since. And
yet no crust of dignity or royal station
could ever entirely shut out her innate
goodness of heart.
At the time of which we speak, the
Duchess of Sutherland held the office OF
Mistress of the Robes to the Queen, and
on public occasions her position was very
near the royal person, and deemed OF
great importance. A day and an hour
had been appointed Tor certain public
ceremony in which the Queen was to take
part. The hour had arrived, and of all
the court the Duchess alone was absent,
and her absence retarded the departure.
The Queen gave vent more than once
to her impotence, and at length, just as
she was about ready to enter her carriage
without her first lady Of honor, the
Duchess, in breathless haste, made her
appearance, stammering some faint words
OF excuse.
MY dear Duchess" said the Queen,
smiling, II think you must have bad
watch" And as she thus spoke she I'M
loosened from her neck tho chain of a
magnificent watch which she herself
wore, and passed it around the neck of
Lady Sutherland.
Though given as present the lesson
conveyed with it made deep and lively
impression. The proud Duchess changed
color, and tear, which she could not re-
press, fell upon her cheek. On the next
day she rendered her resignation, but it
was not accepted.

Love Song.

Ii were violet, sweet, white violet,
Growing in the sun and in the dew,
Struggling through the cold spring time,
Hard beset by cruel rhine,
should surely blow for you.
Ii were rose, Love, a great red-hearted
rose, Love,
Blushing on my stem, as roses do;
After tedious, sad delays,
In the first warm summer days
would sweeten life for you.
If | were daisy, golden hearted daisy,
Shining in the field season through;
With my petals you should spell
That love YOU love you well, .
With my whole heart, only you.

The Social Organization of Ants.

Let Us suppose that, having no previ-
Gus acquaintance with the subject, we
were suddenly informed, on good author
ity, that there existed in some part of the
globe Il race of beings who lived in domed
habitarions, aggregated together so as to
form vast and populous cities; that they
exercised jurisdiction over the adjoining
territory, laid out regular roads, executed
tunnels underneath the beds of rivers,
stationed guards at the entrance of their
towns, carefully removed any offensive
matter, maintained "a rural police, organ
lied extensive hunting-ex petitions, at
times even waged war upon neghboring
communities, took prisoners and reduced
them to state of slavery; that they not
merely stored up provisions with due
care, to avoid their decomposition by
damp and fermentation, but that they
kept cattle, and in some cases even cul-
tivated the soil and gathered in the har-
vest. We should unquestionably regard
these creatures AS human beings who had
made no small progress in civilization,
and should ascrbe their actions to reason.
If We were then told that they were not
men, and they were in some places for
mIdable enemies TO man, and had even
by their continued molestations caused
certain villages to be forsaken by all hui
man occupants, our interest would per-
haps be mixed with some little shade of
anxiety lest we were here confronted by
a race who, under certain eventualties,
might contest our claim TO the sovereign
ty of the globe. But when we learn
that these wonderful creatures are insects
some few lines in length, our curiosity is
cooled; we are apt, If duly guided by
dominant prepossessions, to declare that
the social organization of these beings is
not civilization, but at most qudsi-civili-
cation; that their guiding principle is not
reason, but "instinct,' or quasi intelll-
gence, or some other of those unmeaning
words which are so useful when we wish
to shut our eyes to the truth.-Poputar

After this, matters went from bad 10
worse with the painter; every few days
some one of his instruments broke under
his hand; they had been So poorly taken
care of, that they did not last half as long
as they were meant to. His work grew
poorer and poorer, until he fell so low
that ne was forced to exc out miserable
living by painting the walls of the COM
monest houses. and making the coarsest
kind of water-ja jars out of clay. Finally
his last instrument failed him; he had
nothing left to work with; and as he had
for many years done only very Coarse and
cheap work, and had not been able to
lay up any money, he was driven TO beg
his food from door to door, and finally
died of hunger.

PRoFANrTr-We are emphatically in
the age of profanity, and it seems TO us
that we are on the topmost current. One
cannot go on the street anywhere without
having his ears offended with the vilest
words and his reverence shocked by the
mos, profane use of sacred names. Nor
does it come from the old or middle aged
alone, for it is Il fact that the younger
portion of the community are most pro-
ticient in degrading language. Boys have
an idea that it is smart TO swear; that ii
m axes them manly, but there never was
a greater mistake in the world. Men,
even those who swear themselves, are dis
gusted with profanity in young man,
because they know how of all bad habits,
this clings the most closely and increases
with years. Ii is the most insidious OF
habits, growing on one so invisibly that
almost before one is aware he becomes an
accomplished cursor.
