1t ia amazing that any gentleman of
education and intelligence should venture
again and again to represent Mr. Calhoun
as advocating at any time between his
birth and bis death the issue by Govern
ment of irredeemable paper. He was
the most earnest and persistent advocate
ofpaper money that should always be
convertible into coin upon demand OF the
holder. No man can put his finger upon
any declaration OF the great South Caro-
lima Senator that is inconsistent with
this principle, which was with him life
long. Richmond, Virginia, Dispatch.

England's Interest in Turkey.

An article on the injury which would
be caused to Austrian commerce by the
carrying out of the stipulations of the
treaty of San Stefano is published in the
semi official FrensdenblaH of Vienna.
All the railways of the Balkan peninsu-
la, says the writer, pass through con-
siderable portion of the territory of New
Bulgaria; it would comprise nearly one
half of the main line from Constantine
pie to Phillippopolis, wo-thirds of the
line from Salonica to Mitrovitza (Which
is the PRINCIPAL channel of Austrian
trade to the Egean Sea), and the whole
of the line from Rustchuck to Varna.
From this it is evident that the whole OF
the eastern trade of Central Europe to
the Egean and Black Seas would fall in
to the hands of the power that would be
dominant in Bulgaria. g Nor would the
land trade of ia-Hungary only be
thereby deprived of all the conditions
necessary to its prosperity; her trade
by sea would equally suffer, for Salonica
and Constantinople would be of but lit
tie use to it if Immediately behind those
ports there were Russo Bulgarian GUS
tom houses, and if Russian lines between
Varna and Odessa, or between Ismail
and Kieff, were to monopolize the trade
Next to Austria Hungary, England has
the greatest interest in preventing such
state of things, while Germany is but
little concerned in the question.
According to the trade statistic:
of the past year, 25.51 per cent. OF
the steamers which touched at the Turk.
ish ports were English, 23.11 Austrian,
16 Is French, IL SO Turkish and 11.22
Russian. OF the sailing vessels the most
numerous were Turkish, Greek and
Italian; but these can not be taken as a
standard of the amount of trade, as the
tonnage of steamers is far greater than
that of sailing ships. Of the $3.50
steamers which last year entered the
harbor of Constantinople, no fewer than
1,720 were English, 427 were Austrian,
286 French, Cos Turkish, 35S Russian,
and 179 Italian. The total tonnage OF
the English ships was 1,24O,996; Of the
Austrian, 38l ,191, and of Turkish only
1876, 797 tons. A similar proportion is
observable in the trade of the Darda-
nelles, which at Gallipoli is chiefly car
ried on in Austrian ships, and at
Tchanak-Kalessi in English ones. AT
Salonica the largest number of ships is
French; at Varna, Austrian, and al
Sulina, English. The ships employed
by Germany, on the other hand, in the
whole trade of the Levant are only O.4e
per cent. of the total number, England
sending 1851 per cent. and Austria
23.11 per cent. Pail Mall Gazette.

THE SCHOOL BOY.


We bought him aAbox for his books and
things,
And a cricket bag for his bat;
And he looked the brightest and best of
kings s.:. ts-.
Under his new straw hat. ri
We handed him into the railway train,
With a troop of his young compeers;
And we made as though it were dust and
rain
Were filling our eyes with tears.
We looked in his innocent face to see
The sign of sorrowful heart;
But he only shouldered his bat with gIee
And wondered when they would start.
Twas not that he loved not as heretofore,
For the boy was tender and kind;
But his was world that was all before,
And ours was a world behind.
Twas not his futtering heart was cold,
For the child was loyal and true;
And the parents love the love that is old,
And the children the love that is new.
And we came to know that love is a flower
Which only groweth down;
And we scarcely spoke for the space of an
As we drove back through the town.

Kill the Fish You Catch.

Charles Hallock, the accomplished
editor of Forest and Stream, has very
humane and thoughtful article on this
subject. Not only because it improves
the quality and flavor of the fish, he urges
upon all anglers the duty of killing all
their fish as they catch them. Many
anglers do this, habitually; but all do
not. We subjoin an extract from Mr..
Hallock's article:
AS boys, we were taught that fish had
60 feeling, and we believed that what
might be cruelty to dog is harmless
pastime as respects fish. But autopsy
and science have proved our belief an
error, and we discover that contortions
and gaspings are evidences Of pain and
distress, though we assume that their
nervous system is comparatively of q
low order. That fishes have intelligence
and can be taught; that they have
memory; that they have discrimination
and discernment; that hey possess the
five senses, each to great or small de-
gree; that they are to limited extent
sentient and reasoning creatures
all these have become evident.
If it is ordained to us that we are to de-
rive sport from the prolonged appre-
tensions of the fish while hooked mot
from his bodily pain, for the mere prick
OF the hook gives little, and often none
at ally, then let us handle him merci-
fully after his torment begins, and it be-
gins after he is withdrawn from his ma
tive element. If he is small, take him
around the body and CONSIDERABLY rap
the top Of his head upon a stone or the
thwart of the boat; if large, rap his
head with a heavy stick; or, what is
more genteel and to the point, pierce
the cervical column at the base of the
brain with a sharp knife. This produces
paralysis, and almost Immediate death.
1t leaves the corpse in a shapely and
seemly condition. Admiration of its
unbattered beauty is added to the pleas
ure of capture, and your fish remains a
proper subject for the market or the
studio. Brother anglers, learn to be
humane.

Don't Propose to Bulge.

The President regards very philosoph-
ically the preparations of the implaca.
bles and machine men to drive him out
of the Republican party. In converse
ton with a friend, the other day, apro,
pos of the recent slop-over remarks OF
Blaine to newspaper interviewer, the
President stated that he was not insen.
sible to the motives which might actu.
ate the Democratic party, but that he
was not to be the judge of that, and
what seeming inclination to recognize
them might exist, such steps were well
considered and would, in the end, he be-
lieved, be fully JUSTIFIED by the results
The President having formally declared
his intention not to be candidate
again, under any circumstances, it was
intimated that the contest in the Senate
was simply with view to individual pc
litical aggrandizement, and that the Ad
ministration was not to be drawn into
any such contest. The President will
act for the interests Of the Republican
party, and will neither be driven out Of
it, nor driven into another party.

Railroad Legislation in Iowa.
Hamilton Freeman

There has been considerable discuss
ion through the press, and much that
has not found voice through that me-
dunn, in regard to the probable action
Of the legislature this winter upon the
Railroad Problem" That there will be
some modification of the law of 1874,
which prescribes rates for the convey
ance of freights and passengers, seems
to be admitted on all hands. The i'm
portant question is just how far it will
be wise and safe to go in the opposite
direction. This law is so sweeping and
binding in its effects that it has abso-
lutely proven injurious to the best in
terests of the State While it may be
doubted whether it has been of special
benefit to any class of our people-aside
from the jobbers in some of our river
towns-it has proven injurious to the
general interests of the State in many
respects When the law was passed we
were building railroads at rapid rate,
and thereby developing our many res
ources. We were doing this with
capital drawn largely from the East.
But when it was known that we, as a
State, proposed to place such restric-
tions upon capital that no profit could re-
suit from its investments within our
borders, we couldn't get another dollar,
and our railroad improvements were
brought to standstill. Little of i'm
portance in the way of railroad building
has been done since the passage of this
law, and capital will not come here for
investment until the law is materially
modified During last autumn several
Narrow Gauge companies-with large
amounts of local aid-sent their agents
East to try and raise means by selling
their bonds. But what was the result
Simply that they could not raise the
money. And so these meritorious> pro
jects are stopped at the very entset, un-
less home capital can be ENLISTED in their
behalf. That it is practically keeping
foreign capital out of oAe State, no one
can deny. Nor can it be shown that the
practical workings: Of the law inures to
the common bereft. while it very certain
ly seriously cripples the railroads. We
hope to see such changes and modifca-
tons made as will be just to all concern
ed-that will serve alike and fairly the
people and the railroad companies.
There, is an inseparable community of
interest between the people and the
roads that must be maintained without
prejudice to either.

AN important decision has been rem
dered by the Supreme Court of Iowa,
regarding the seizure Of liquors under
the State prohibitory law. The case
was from Muscatine county and was
tried before Judge Hayes, in the Dis
trict Court of Clinton county. Itinvolv-
ed the possession Of $500 worth of IL
quor seized under the statute. 1t was
repleviped by the owners, who procured
a temporary injunction to restrain pro-
ceedings for it's condemnation. Judge
Hayes, upon hearing of the case, held
that under the statute the liquor could
not be replevined, and he therefore
dissolved the injunction, and ordered
that the liquor be restored to the off
GERS for confscation. The case was ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, and there
argued by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, for the
plaintiffs, and d. G. Cloud for the liquor
dealers. The result was signal tri-
umph for the lady attorney; the Su-
preme Court sustained Judge Hayes
rulings, and thus established the fact
that under our laws when liquor is once
seized by an officer, it cannot be taken
from his possession in any legal manner
The men who deal in it have no alterna-
tive but to submit with the best grace
pOssible.

The public mind on both sides of the

The public mind on both sides of the
Atlantic has been in feverish state,
the past week, over the threatening i'm
mlnence of general European war over
the Turkish question. England sent an
official note. to Russia, conveying over
lures of peace in behalf of Turkey. This
was construed to be an ultimatum,
which, if Russia should reject, would be
followed by hostile demonstrations by
England. Russia answered promptly,
CURLY declining England's intervention,
and intimating that she would treat with
no party but Turkey. The Russian re-
ply is before the English Cabinet, and
meanwhile the war and anti-war parties
are stirring up public sentiment to force
their respective views upon the govern
ment. 1t is not probable that the refu-
sal Of Russia to accept England as a
mediator will cause the latter power to
go to war, but there is one thing that all
parties in that kingdom are agreed upon,
and that is, that when the final settle
ment of the eastern question does come,
England must have a hand in it. Other
nations of Europe besides Russia and
Turkey will want to have something to
say, also. Russia is not going to be suf-
fered to gobble up the choice bits of
Turkey without question or equitable
division.

4 NitrO.Glycerine Explosion.

CHICAGO, Jan. An Inter- OCEAN
special from Marquette, Mich, says that
while Chicago & Northwestern box
car was being loaded with nitro-giycer-
inc at the Jackson mine, near Negaunee.
at 10 this morning, the mass exploded
instantly killing seven men and demol-
ishing the car. The locomotive was Eff
ted in the air and thrown fifty feet and
landed in a confused mass of wood and
iron. Of the killed, S. A. Wheeler, son
of Walter, and Ira Hinckley, were en-
ployed at the nitro-glycerine works,
Hinckley being Superintendent The
bodies of these three were blown to at
oms, no piece larger than two pounds
being discoverable. The other four were
railway employees, and were in the cab
of the engine when the explosion came
Their blackened and mangled remains
were found there with the flesh stripped
from their faces and limbs, and the
bones broken. Their names are VIM
Myers, VIM. Shellman, Chas. RULER and
Jerry Foley. Ishpeming, three miles
away, plainly felt the shock, and the
damage in Negaunee was probably g.
500. Some persons there are reported
seriously injured by the concussion.
