tain publisher not thousand miles from
here, who raised his price but one cent

dilemma, and reduces the size Of his
sheet to correspond with the enhance
ment of paper. be wiz cripple his adver.
tisins SPACE. and deprive his readers OF
q material portion Of the local and other
news of the day, and soon ruin himself.
This is the straight between two" IN
which the papermakers' combination
has placed the country newspaper pup
fishers. They are being ground to DOW
der between the upper and neither mill,
stones of fixed subscription prices and
protected" monopoly combination on
paper. As congress has made a law
which enables the papermakers to fleece
the country publishers, the latter are
appealing to congress to repeal it. They
want to do no injustice to the papermak-
ers, and to this end ask congress to re-
move the taxes on chemicals and pulp.
whereby the manufacturers can make
cheaper paper. What objection can the
high-tariffites have to this proposition?
Why should they oppose removing the
duties on soda-ash and wood and straw
pulp? And, after those taxes are re-
m wed and the cost of paper-making es-
sentially cheapened, why should not the
tax on imported paper also be repealed?
This is what the country press ask at the
hands of congress, and 1t Is reasonable
and right. and should be granted.

in making it in every way a success.
Manufacturers and producers of all ma.
tons are cordially invited to take part
in the proposed peaceful composition.

A CRY comes FROM Brazil as bitter and
heartrending as that from Ireland, and
Russia and Silesia add their voices to the
wall for help which comes to US. There
are terrible mistakes in government in
all these places, or so much misery could
scarcely occur. No wider or nobler field
ever existed for the efforts Of philanthro-
~ than the rectifcatioR OF defects, not
always willful, in the control Of large
masses of people. A bad year or a
food or an epidemic usually finds the
wretehed sufferers totally unprepared to
resist calamity, and can do nothing but
lie helplessly and wait for succor. That
aid is 50 quickly and generously gwen is
creditable to human nature, but although
a Utopia is impossible, it is to he hoped
that the time will come when those who
have power and wealth will not wait for
disaster to awaken their sympathy for
their less happy fellow creatures, but
will exert themselves continuously TO
alleviate their condition and guard them
from sudden and heavy calamity.

John ChinamAn.

II would undoubtedly have been far
better for California if John Chinaman
had never set foot upon her shores. He
is a pagan, and a very inveterate and
vile one. Ia nearly every respect the
Chinese are aliens to US, and to our
usages, ideas and institutions. Scarcely
any points Of contact in sympatnles,
aims, motives or traditions exist between
them and U.S. They constitute an in
congruous aud disturbing element in our
American community, and the influence
of their presence amongst US Is unwhole-
some. Ii is all very fine 10 say that the
United States should welcome all comers
from all lands and gladly admit them TO
an equal participation in the benefits we
ourselves enjoy. There are limits, how
ever, beyond which the good-natured
doctrine of fraternity cannot be safely
carried. In one sense OF the word. all
men have joint origin and a common
destiny. But nature and history have
affixed wide differences betweeen the
various races Of mankind that We should
hesitate to disregard. The Mongolian is
about as far removed as can well be con-
ceived in all his traits and qualities,
physical, mental and moral, from the
type to which we belong. His civihza-
ton, if it may be called such, his man.
ners, his ethics, his habits of thought and
nearly everything about him are alto
gether foreign to those Of our branch OF
the human family. Unlike most other
heathan races, the Chinese cannot ap-
parently be brought into our modes of
belief and action. The converts amongst
them to Christianity are but few scores.
So as their methods Of thinking and ours
are concerned there seems to be no CON-
mon ground.

How Girls Go to Sleep.
lppincotts Magazine.

We had wandered out underthe moon.
lit larches, and we all talked and laughed
at n 1thing, in that silly happy way young
people have. We told riddles, and sang
the old college songs till finally sleep,
with his bright colored mantle of dreams,
called us, and We retired to what we
fondly supposed would be repose. But
if you have ever occupied a room with
six girls you will know that sleep is not
always to be obtained at once. One
young lady was an hour and a half by
the clock in brushing and braiding her
hair, in putting up her crimps, in clean
ing and polishing her finger-nails, in run
ming piece of silk floss between each
pair of her thirty-two teeth, in polishing
each one with little stick and some
powder, in giving them a vigorous brush
ing with soap and water,in washing her
hands and applying glycerine TO them,
in putting on wash for the complexion,
in reading her Bible, in kissing every
body good night, and in getting into her
hammock, which everybody who has
ever tried it knows is work of time
Just as We thought we were almost asleep
she recollected that she had not taken
her nur romicd, and she argued a long
time with another young lady to try to
get her to take ntr pomicd, quoting at
great length from DR.. Pulte and other
eminent homeopathic physicians 10 prove
that she and everybody needed nur rom
icd occasionally. When, to get peace, the
poor girl swallowed the globules, we
thought We had earned repose, but then
another young woman remarked in a
cheerful tone that she was cold, and one
of the windows must come down. This
occasioned what seemed to the sleepy an
endless controversy ,as somebody else was
burning up with heat" and wanted an
other opened. This was finally settled.
Everything was quiet for at least five
minutes, and we were all at length CIV
ing up to tired natures sweet restorer,"
when suddenly an awful sound was
heard. A great weight fell violently
upon the bare floor, the shrek of a wo-
man leaped upon the midnight air, quick
questions and exclamations were heard.
A light was struck, and it was discovered
not that robbers and murderers were uD-
on us, but that somebody's hammock had
broken down. This was reconstructed,
and again We addressed ourselves to per-
suading morpheus to knit us our sleeve
OF care which by this time was very much
reveled indeed. Ten minutes of utter
quiet passed away; nothing was heard
but the gentle breathing of the sleepers,
when one afectionate girl, turning over,
called out: "Weil, I'm going to sleep;
goodnight everybody"

Cripples to be Taxed In Germany.


The Berlin papers announce that
Prince Bismarck intends TO Introduce,
during the current session Of the Reich
stag. measure 10 be called the DE
fence Tax" with the product of which,
should Parliament think fit to sanction
its enforcement, he proposes to meet the
extra expenses about to be incurred
by the German nation for the increase
of its army. The tax in question is to
be imposed upon all male adults ex-
empted from military service on account
of physical infrmities and other disabil-
ities recognized as valid by the compe-
tent authorities, Upon each such per-
son, many thousand of whom are an
nually rejected by the Military District
Commissions, it is proposed to levy a
special rate of four marks per annum on
everv thousand marks of bis income for
the twelve wears actual service in the
standing army, reserve, and landwehr,
to which every German youth becomes
liable on his 2lst birthday. The cynical
turn Of the great Chanccllor's humor
was never more strikingly exempliiied
than in the conception of this project,
which is devised to intiict pecuniary
penalty upon the cripples of Germany
for the prejudice their bodily short
comings iniiict upon the empire by
shortening its live stock of able-bodied
soldiers. Ii is obviously Prince Bis
marck's view of German humanity that
no loyal subject Of the Kaiser has any
business to be born lame, blind, or halt,

What Country Pub i.hsrs Ask.

Something has got to be done to stor
the rise in paper, or the asylums for the
poor throughout the country will soon
be filled with newspaper publishers.
Wiilmdr (Mnn.) Republican. To which
the Chicago Tribune adds;
There is a serious side TO this facetious
remark. The average country weekly
newspaper has, for the past two years,
consumed from $1,000 TO $500 worth OF
printing-paper per year for its edition.
This paper in 1850 is costing the pub
Usher $500 where it was last year $1,000,
and $3.50 against $500 in 1879 or 1878.
This increase of expense of $500 to $3.50
year, seems like a small item TO big
city daily newspaper establishment, but
il is very serious amount TO village
weekly journal, of which there are some
5000 published in the United States. II
is large enongh sum to cover the ques-
ton Of profit and loss in some thousands
of cases. Add to the expense Of the av-
erage country weekly $3.50 for white pa
ner, and the publisher not only will no;
make dollar for his years labor, but
will drift behind and become involved
in debt in carrying on his business. So
that an advance Of so per cent. In print
is really no laughable matter with the
country editor. 1t places him IN this
dilemma-if he raises his subscription

A fame that is worldwide and acquired in
the short space of few years, must have
true merit for its support. DR.. Pierces
Family Medicines have gained such fame
and the foreign orders for his Golden Medi-
cal Discovery-the greatest blood-puriier
of the age, for his Pleasant Puigatiye Pei
lets, little sugar-coated pills., his Favorite
Prescription = woman's best friend-and
other remedies became so great, that
branch OF the Worlds Dispensary has been
established in London, England, for Their
manufacture. From this depot they are
shipped TO every part of Europe, and to the
East Indies, China, Japan, and other coun-
tries. Their sale in both North and south
America Is perfectly enormous and increases

Ar the Crescent Steel Works in this
city a steam-pipe two and half inches
in diameter, carrying from 90 to 100
pounds pressure. was laid under ground
about three years ago, incased in COM
mon pine boards about one inch thick.
A few days since occasion was had to
dig up the pipe, and the whole length OF
the wooden drain was found to be char
red and apparently burnt about three
quarters of the thickness of the wood,
the other quarter being partially rotted.
The whole inside of the drain was turn
ed to charcoal, with here and there spots
OF white ashes, showing that ignition had
actually taken place. 1t seems probable
that il the casing had not been excluded
irom the air by the earth covering it, 1t
would have blazed and been entirely
consumed. 1t is generally admitted that
q steam-pipe cannot set fire to wood, but
this case seems to prove the contrary,
and il may explain the origin Of many
mysterious fires.-Ner York Erpress.

THE ORANGE CROP.
Something About the Profits Of the Flor,o.
Groves.

Seth French Of Jacksonville, Fla. An
old and experienced orange grower
gives the following as an estimate Of the
cost Of an orange grove, according to 10.
cality: Cost of ten acres Of land for
grove, $50 TO 500; cost Of clearing, SlOO
to $3.50; cost Of fencing, $50 to S75; cost
Of breaking, 500 to $25; cost Of setting ont
500 trees, 500 to $500; cost OF care and
fertilizing five years, $500 to 81 900; total
cost, 1920 to 81 $40. In addition to this
the young trees cost; ready for seettino
out, from 35 to so cents eacn. At the ace
of nine or ten wears from the seed the
tree begins TO produce, the average being
about 500 oranges TO the tree. For the
next five years the increase in produc.
tion is rapid, being about 1000 oranges
per tree each year. There are quite
lot of trees in Florida that produce TO-.
600 oranges, but these are aged, having
Deen planted before the war. Oranges
like apples. have their off years, but al
fifteen years from the seed il is safe 10
say that the trees will produce on an ay.
erage 5000 oranges each. There are IF.
ty trees to one acre, according to Mr.,
Trenches figures given above, though il
ID usual TO set out sixty, which at 5000
oranges per tree would give 500 600 or.
anges as the yield of the ten acres. These
at II cents apiece as they hang on the
tree, the average price this season, would
give $22, 500 off the ten acres. This es-
innate, let 1t be borne in mind, is a low
one for some Floridians are this year re.
alizing $4,000 from six acres. The
Florida orange croD this wear is mnch
larger than ever before. From such
counties as are easily accessible the fig.
ures point to a crop Of about 440, 600 box.
es. In Putnam county alone the 1879
year was nearly 100000 oranges, and
next year with the large number Of
blooming trees that will come into bear.
ing, the crop will amount TO 25,0000O0
oranges. 1t will require train of ten
cars once a day for ninty days to trans
port the crop Of this country.

A MODIFICATION of the American audi
phone, which has proved of great service
to the deaf and dumb, has been describ-
ed by NJ. Colladon before the French
Academy of Sciences. Instead Of hard
rubber, a peculiar kind of pasteboard is
used for the disk, and there are no cords
needed to regulate the tension. That
part of the instrument which is held in
the mouth is provided with surface to
resist moisture.
