AuPpl ms Tonnage.

Complaints come from American ves-
sel.owners at New York that while trade
Is generally very brisk aud business
prosperous, their vessels find diff
Guilty in obtaining employment, not
withstanding the extraordinary mag
nitdde and enterprise Of the domestic
exports. This is explained by refer,
ence to the immense fleets Of foreign
craft seeking cargoes in the American
ports. As TO the extent Of that bust
ness it may be inferred from the fact
that four thousand empty ships come
to our ports annually In search Of car
goes, exclusive of all The foreign craft
that come hither with eargoes. In
Great Britain all the ports swarm with
unemployed vessels to such an extent
AZ TO reduce freights to the lowest pos
sible rates by sheer competition. The
truth is that the foreign shipbnilders
overbnilt the market, and even in the
midst Of the imitation their competition
had become ruinously excessive. Yet
they still go on building vessels for
sale, apparently for the purpose of
still controlling the general market.
To such an extent has this been car
ried that they could take possession OF
our entire domestic coasting trade to
the utter exclusion Of American ton.
mage If the navigation laws did not
make it a domestic monopoly. Thous.
ands Of foreign vessel owners have suf.
tered seriously by the depreciation Of
this property.

The .'City Of Homes"

The Ledqeu publishes a statement to
show that in Philadelphia there are
now III, ,346 properties valued at $4,000
or less, out of q total Of l6S, 1859, and
nearly 0ne-half Of the remainder are
valued at less than five thousand dol
lars. There are two groups of houses
for which Philadelphia is famous--one
which would probably be valued at
from $1,000 TO $500, the other at from
1900 to $4,000, and the&gures given in
dicates that these are very numerous.
The tables, however include all Kinds
Of real estate, much the larger number
beiffe dwellings. In 1876 a police cen
-iis returned l53, 1886 dwellings in Phil
adelphia, or about one for every six
inhabitants. The business of the Build
ing Associations of the city, and stats,
tics gathered in 1876 from the Recorder
of Deeds Office, show that a very large
proportion OF these dwelling houses are
owned by their occupants, 1t is s,doubt.
full whether there is any other city in
the world that can make as good
showing as this, for IT. is a good thing

still refer to it as one OF the NEST pleas,
urable affairs of the Ball season, and
We know that the mere announcement
of the fact that the young senators are
arranging another Of their popular So
ciablrs is guaranteeing an evening of
rare pleasure to all who may attend.
The evening Of the Oath Of January has
been set apart by these Young gentle
men rs the one upon which they pro
pose to meet their many friends and
while awav the hours ian tripping the
light fantastic. No psi are being
spared to make the occasion a pleasant
one and the young men composing the
Harkins' Senate are even now streup-
ously preparing for this event and We
may safely venture the assertion that
those who attend this Ball on the 24th
Of January will at least spend one eve

The Pork Trade.

The price of pork has never been so
dew as now within our recollection, the
reason for which is that the hag crop
in the West is simply immense. The
present seasons supply is estimated at
l0,O00,0 900 and it may be even Crater.
The Chicago 7ribme asserts that it is
not likely that the price of live hogs in
the West will he above three cents per
pound for a long time, and any fair
minded observer can not help but come
to the same conclusion. There is only
one way in which money can be made
out Of them. That is, by raising only
the best breeds, and giving them the
best Of care. II is probable that the
low price will discourage many farm
ers, and that ina couple of years there
will be a large falling off in numbers.

A New NJ Mes nod

Of giving signals of warning at sea,
said TO be an American invention, has
been successfully tested. A hollow
cylinder, closed at the lower end, is
secured by an anchor to the bottom Of
the sea. In this cylinder is a pump
which sucks in the air, congresses it.,
and sends it ont through whistle. A
huge fagot, floating on the surface of
the water, and rising and falling with
the waves, furnishes the force by
which the pump is worked. Tn.
whistling which will vary in loudness
according to the violence Of the move
ment of the fagot as it is tossed by the
waves, is repeated at short intervals,
and can be heard for long distance,
even against the wind.

HOMES PoR THH MULTITUDE.

II IL gratifying to know Sthat men
who have been trying to get a living
by swopping jack knives with their
neig h bors-a great crowd of middlemen,
who have been producers, who
have eked out ap ecarious living during
these years Of depression, are finding
ComfOrt table homes in this Northwestern
region of Dakota and Minnesota, just as
others are doing in Nebraska, Kansas
and all along the line. The books of
the United States Land Office show that
along the line of the Northern Pacific
,324 zoo acres have been entered dur
ing the present year. AS no person
can enter more than 100 acres this is
equivalent to S270 farms. Last year
the entries were nearly as many, while
next year they will doubtless be even
greater.
On a summers day in 1870 | rode
amid the waving grass through this
valley of the Red River. II was soil
tude. No voice, save my own or the
voices Of my companions disturbed the
universal stiffness.
The virgin soil was as it had been for
ages. There were not fifty people with
in fifty miles Of the present line of the
railroad. Bnt now wherever you look
you behold farmers driving their teams
afeld, preparing the ground for next
springs seeding.
The mel who put their money into
the railroad have seen it sink out of
sight, bat through their impoverish-
ment thousands are being made rich.
What land grabbers they were--those
men who built this road from Lake
Superior to the Missouri They were
