A WARNING TO CHEESE MAX
Frs

A correspondent of the Utica Norm
ing Herald thus writes:
My correspondent in England writes
me, "That if Americans send adulter-
ated goods to this country they will, in
my opinion, kill the goose that laid the
golden egg. The English cheese. eating
people are becoming reconciled to
American cheese against which, in
many sections, there has existed a
strong prejudice,) but if they take up
bacon, the demand will materially de-
crease. Now is the time when the
make and quality should be the very
best. The cheese makers of this coun-
try are about giving in before the
American competition; but if reac-
ton sets in and the public pass Ameri-
can and demand homemade goods, the
now rapidly decreasing make of En-
glish cheese will be revived and Amer
leans will have all their work to 60
over again to regain popularity. Rely
on it, our members of parliament Qarge
land owners) will, on very little provo
cation, legislate to hamper and crush
the trade that for years has lessened
their incomes more than half. Dairy
farms are not fetching half former
values" CHEESE.

According to previous notice, the
teachers of the E. d. held meeting III
the Blackman school-house, No. s, Paris
May 81, 1881. Meeting called to order
by V. p. A. S. Carpenter. The teachers
were well represented, there being
twelve in attendance. After singing
by the choir, a lengthy discussion was
held on the subject of grading, as to
the success and difficulties met with in
different schools. w. H. Flett conduct
ed a class exercise in reading, taking
as his subject Byron's " Apostrophe to
the Ocean," One of the interesting
features of this exercise was the con-
cert reading by the class. Supt. Ma
honey thought that with little prac-
tice it would make a good class. A
short recess was then held, after which
w. J. Barnes said that as, Mr.. Flett
had given US something hard, he pro-
posed a change, and would give some
thing easy, and then brought out dis

THE POWER OF A SWEET
VOICE

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood yet do the
work of a soft heart, and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as a sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels /;
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth.
and be on the watch night and day, at
work and play, to get and keep voice
that shall speak at all times the
thoughts Of kind heart But this is
the time when sharp voice is most
apt to be got. You often hear boys
and girls say words at play with a
quick, sharp tone, as if it were the snap
of a whip. When one of them gets
veXed you will hear voice that sounds
as if it were made UP of a snarl and
whine. and a bark. Such a voice often
speaks worse than the heart feels. 1t
shows more ill will in the tone than in
the words. 1t is often in mirth that
one gets voice or tone that is sharp,
which sticks to him through life, and
stirs up ill will and grief, and falls like
drop of gall on the sweet joys at
home. Such as these get sharp home
voice for use, and keep their best voices
for those they meet elsewhere, just as
they would save their best cakes and
pies for guests, and all their sour food
for their own board. Use your guests
voice at home. Watch it day by day
as pearl of great price, for it will be
worth more to you in days to come than
the best pearl hid in the sea. A kind
voice is a joy like lark's song to a
hearth and home. 1t is to the heart
what light is to the eye. 1t is light
that sings as well as shines. Train it
to sweet tones now, and it will keep in
tune through -EGch0nge

A new law in Vermont on the mode
of making assessments of invisible
personal property has doubled the as
sessed value of the property within the
state. Heretofore real estate and visi-
BILE personal property have been as
sessed at about tWo-thirds their actual
worth. The new law required every
thing to be considered as worth its
market or salable value, and owners of
securities, monied men have been
obliged to make oath as to all Their
personal effects instead of placing it at
about what sum they pleased. The
law has brought out the real valuation
of mercantile goods and all other
classes of personal property, and, as
before stated, doubled the entire valu-
alton of all the property in the state
In some towns the valuation of year
ago has been quadrupled. These re-
suits will lead to lowering of the rate
of tax one-half and will tighten the
burdens of owners of real estate and
press heavier upon others, who, having
the property, are, of course, able to
pay. AS mode of equalizing taxes it
has proved q success. If some other
states would adopt measures for the
same end it would not be bad thing.

There is a great deal of interest cen
tering round the coming Albany cleo.
tions. If Conkling is returned, Will the
country receive it as a Yindication of
his opposition to Robertson? There
can be no danger of this. No man
who has read the papers through all
the stages of the controversy will &C.
cept it as meaning anything of the
kind. The New York legislature has
already passed upon that point. 1t
will simply mean that as a political
leader Conkling is superb and the state
cannot afford, nor can the Republican
party, to dispense with his services. A
large number of Republicans who have
not supported his opposition to Rob-
ertson, who regard the position he
took of assuming to dictate the nomi-
nations in New York as simply absurd,
will not oppose but labor for his return.
Because man has made a political
blunder he should not, therefore, be
politically hung. If Conkllng is re-
turned and accepts the results as a vim
dication of his course, and acts upon
that basis, he will find himself in hot
water again very quick. If, however,
he accepts it at its true meaning, that
he is a man the Republicans of the
state of New York and the Republic
cans of the entire country cannot af-
ford to lose, and devotes his superb
talents toward the great questions of
the day and the discomfort of the
Democrats, people will have reason to
believe that the late differences be-
tween him and the administration have
not been in vain. Conkling is unques-
tionably the foremost man in the Re-
publican party, and the same amount
of energy, personality and skill that he
has given to questions relating to state
patronage devoted to advancing pub
lie measures of national Importance
will win for him place among the
grand statesmen of the century.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Ll,l
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20, 1881.
Mr.. Conkling, when he resigned
from the Senate on Monday, forcing
Mr.. Platt along with him, must have
seriously misjudged public sentiment,
or have been honest in his intention to
retire to private life. AT any rate, in
the news that comes here from ALBANY
/ notice the opposition to him is in
creasing, and if the election for sena-
tors can be postponed until next fall
there seems strong ground for believ-
ing that he cannot be reelected. The
PRESIDENT yesterday did the square
thing by renominating the friends of
Mr.. Conkling, whom he withdrew
some weeks ago. They will be con-
lrmed to-day. The nomination for
commissioner has been given to Hon.
Geo. Il. Loring, of Massachusetts. Mr..
Loring is not theorist, but a plain.
practical farmer, and the agricultural
department under his management will
become what it should be, practical
aid to the farmers of the country.
General Grant is mentioned as the
probable successor of Senator Conk-
ling in the Senate. Chauncy M. De
Pew is a formidable candidate of
anti" persuasion. The Senate will
hardly adjourn this week, the Presi-
dent having notified committee that
ne had several hundred more nominal
lions to send in. B. K. Bruce, the col
ored ex-senator from Mississippi, has
been nominated for register of the
treasury.

lowing circular yesterday: with a

Young NJ. DIS are turned out thick
nowadays-thick in numbers, but SUI
perlatively thin in all those prerequis-
ties that are supposed to accompany a
diploma. A desire to obtain an instru-
ment of this kind is the thought that
animates the breast of two-thirds of
the students of not only medical col
leges, but schools of all kinds, public
and private, and accordingly there have
sprung up all over the country disre-
putable and unworthy establishments
to supply the demand. Any school is
unworthy and disreputable which will
grant diploma to an unqualified per.
son-that will fix standard by which
the character and completeness of the
work may be judged, and then graduate
persons who have not attained to that
standard. The diploma is a delusion
and a damage to the holder, fraud
upon the public and death-blow to
the school itself, whose graduates will
eventually fix the character and COM
pleteness of the work in spite of elab-
crate schemes of study or programmes
of requirements.
State laws have been passed in many
states requiring all practicing physi-
clans to hold diplomas. Such laws
have served rather to increase the mum.
Der Of graduates (word of doubtful
meaning) of medical colleges rather
than to raise the standard of the pro-
fession. A diploma, unless received
from well known school, whose
graduates stand high in the profession
which requires qualifications on the
part of its graduates up to the stand
ard it points, is utterly insignificant
and the holder should be looked upon
with great distrust.

The sale of the revised Bible com
menced in New York city OH Saturday
last and it promises to go outin larger
numbers than any book ever before
offered to the public. The Saturday
dailies are full of quotations from the
old and new text, and some OF
the Sunday papers contained the
New Testament, as revised, in full
A comparison does not show marked
changes, most of them being the adap-
tatiOn of the text to more modern
modes of expression. The peculiar
style, however, of the Bible is not al
tered, and the changes would not be
recognized except by one thoroughly
familiar with exact wording. The
book is the product of ten years of
labor on the part Of the most learned
theologians and philologists of the old
and new world, and, though hostilely
received by large number of divines
who are constitutionally opposed to
anything like investigation on so sacred
subject, will in due time become the
accepted translation for all Protestant
churches. We will quote the Lords
Prayer as sample of the character
of the changes: "Our Father which
art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
as in heaven, so on earth. Give us this
day our daily bread. And forgive us
our debts, rs we also have forgiven
our debtors, and bring US not into
temptation but deliver us from the evil
one"

The lease of the Northwestern tele-
graph lines to the Western Union
Company may be regarded certainty.
The directors of the former company
at their late meeting took favorable
action upon the proposition of the
Western Union Company, and as soon
as the necessary inventories can be
made and other affairs of the company
brought to settlement the transfer
will be fully consummated. The
Northwestern Company has been in
operation since about 1856, when it
started an Insignificant enterprise with
lines radiating from Kenosha to neigh
boring towns. Its present title was
not assumed till 1868, the company
previous to that time having been
known rs the Wisconsin State Tele-
graph Company. Mr.. z. G. Simmons
connection with the company dates
from 1858, when he bought control
ling interest. He became president of
the company in 1868, and still retains
that position. Under his management
the company has kept pace with pub
lie demands and railroad progress in
the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
1t also has lines extending into Mani
toba and westward with the Northern
Pacific Railroad. This transfer will
be a decided loss to the business inter
ests of Kenosha, which has been the
headquarters of the company since it
was organized. 1t is loss Kenosha
cannot well afford. Our industries
and enterprises are not SO numerous
but that the loss of any of them is
seriously felt.

siberian EXiIes,

A large proportion of the persons who
are in Russia sent to Siberia belong to
the class whom not few New York tax
payers would be delighted if they could
similarly dispose of.
Ii man is idle, drunkard, or q nuis-
ance In any way to q community, the au-
thorities of his district, meeting in coun-
Gil, decide to pay the cost of deporting
him to Siberia, not as prisoner, but as
q colonist; for one of the objects of the
Russian Government is to develop tho
resources of that vast and thinly popu-
lated land. The numbers sent have av-
eraged, of late years, from 10000 to
10000.
A trustworthy authority says that the
number OF political prisoners sent to
Siberia is enormously exaggerated. AS
rule, the work imposed on those in the
mines is by no means severe.
The prisoners no longer go to their
destination all the way on foot. From
Moscow, whore they assemble, they 90
by rail to Mini Novgorod, and then by
water to Perm; thence by rail again to
Ekaiernburg, whence conveyances take
them to Tiumen. The remainder of the
journey is by water or on foot.
Prisoners are divided into classes. The
first arc treated as felons; the second
only partially lose their civil rights, do
not always undergo imprisonment, and
in any case only for period, at the ex-
piration of which they become colonists
