which he is sure would de-
 velop a large trade ''under a rational tariff" Our cotton yarns are the best in the world, and therefore best adapted to weaving
 with silk. He thinks that once admitted to France they would grow to be worth a trade of $25, 100000 year. Outside of it's great cities and important towns France still de- bends upon candles for artificial light, and even where candles are not exclusively used there is large consumption of them with the barrier of the tariff once removed petro- leum would enter as large and growing item of trade, and with it the unequaled American lamps. French hardware is large ly hand-forged, and is still primitive and clumsy; our axes, hatchets, hammers and tools in general are so light elegant and su- perior that they would sweep the market if once introduced Except perhaps Italy, France is the worst provided of all countries with apparatus for cooking and heating; hence there is market for stoves, in which this country leads the world for variety and excellence. Spades, blows, rakes, hoes, and agricultural tools generally are wretchedly made in France, and American makes would be seized with avidity, but manufactures of wood, iron and steel are prolMbited Under the present tariff. So with boots and shoes, in which Massachusetts and Connecticut could secure trade of which they have now no conception. Sheet and tube brass and goods made therefrom, furniture and household goods, cutlery, nails, paints, writing paper, carriages, textiles machinery and a large va riety of miscellaneous goods for which there might be found market are named.

A CALL FOR HEROES.

Usually when 8 railroad train in the West is stopped by robbers the passengers do just what the robbers tell them to, and are re- | lieved of their valuables with neatness and I dispatch. Recently, however, colored sol dier, who chanced to be travelling on a rail- road train in Colorado, took it into his head l to vary the monotony of such proceedings. I The train in which he was riding was stopped by band of thieves and the passengers were l requested to hold up their hands. The col ored soldier declined to accede to this re- quest, ard instead of holding up his hands held up bis trusty rife and shot the imper- tinent stranger dead. This unlocked for operation so disturbed the calculations of the dead mans companions that they left the train without carrying out their plan
 This heroic action of the colored troops deserves the praise it receives, and it would be well if it were initiated when occasion offers. A few such incidents would make train robbing unpopular. The Journal of Commerce, in an able and interesting article headed "Wanted, More Heroes" points out that there is great opportunity for the dis play of true heroism in resisting to death, for the sake of society, robbers and highway men. It says: t'There are forlorn hopes where men have marched out to certain death and freely given their lives for the sake of a cause dear to their hearts. We believe that no sacrifice of life ever earned higher good than would follow the first hundred deaths that might result from this resistance to crime. We wish to leave as n nur kha that it is not a question whether the surren- der of 8 few dollars, or a basket of silver. or a box of securities is not better than the risk of valuable life. There is in every case higher principle involved. Ought any c1ti- zen to hold his life more valuable than the establishment of law and order and the put ting down of crime? It is not what the startled sleeper might lose or gain if he lay supinely in bed and left his valuables at the city, his country and the cause of truth and right would gain if he reckoned not his life dear unto him, as against the call of nobler service, and met the demand with the high consciousness of what is at stake in such an issue. There was never time when heroes were more needed than in our day, and @ lit-
 
 tle revival of the true chivalrous spirit would 1 be blessed subject for devout thanksgiv ng." The Journal is right, as usual, but we do l not imagine that there will be general ;esponse to it's call for more heroes. Few 1 nen or women are willing to be killed by 1 hieyes for the good of society. Yet if there ! were enough heroes to make it very danger 'us for robbers to pursue their nefarious 1 york there would be great decrease in the l lumber of robberies. The burglar or the | lighwayman goes prepared for assault and lefense but he hopes and expects to accom- 'lish his purpose without getting attacked. | f he thought there was one chancein dozen # fair fight he would relinquish the scheme g altogether too unpromising and dangerous. l

Man-Eatlng Sharks in Narragan-
 sett Bay.
A Young Man Attacked in the River at
 Providence.

From the Providence JournalJ
 On Friday @ number of boys and young mes were bathing in the Seekonk river, near Carpenters wharf, which is on the west side, where there was an occurrence which will not soon be forgotten. Among the party was young man named Jerry Lowney, who lives on Gano street, Providence. and a Water street, in this town. Lowney went into the water, leaving pair of dry pants to put on when he came out Fleming, seeing the pants, for joke put them on, unob1 served by Loyney, who, on coming to the shore and finding his pants gone, and that Fleming had taken them, to be square with him, put on pair of overalls which Fleming had left upon the shore, and again enter ed the water, and to the change of pants he probably owes his life, for he had swan but 8 short distance when a huge shark made an attack upon him, seizing hold of his pants by the flesh, but the overa1ls hanging so loosely about him his flesh was not pierced. The shark dragged him for some distance, making terrible splashing as he turned over in the water, sometimes pulling Lowney under the water until the pants gave way. The young man of course was greatly frightened, but was not so paralyzed that he could not swim, and called to man who was rowing boat near him, who came to his assistance and helped him into the boat. The overalls bear the marks of the attack, being ripped the whole length of the leg. Sharks are ire quently seen in the river at this season of the year, though this is the first instance where person has been known to have been at tackled by them in this vicinity. They are reported to be uncommonly numerous this year in Narragausett Bay Lowney feels that he has had narrow escape from ter rih1e doatb

From the Popular Science Monthly. ]


 Whenever an Ahehasian ie drowned his friends search carefully for the body, but if this is not found they proceed to capture the soul of the deceased, a measure which has then become matter of importance A goat skin bag is sprinkled with water and placed with its mouth, which is stretched open over hoop, looking towards the river, near to the place where the man is supposed to have been drowned. Two cords are stretched from the spot across the river, & bridge on which the soul can come over Vessels containing food and drink are set around the skin, and the friends of the deceased come and eat, quietly, while song is sung with instrument tai accompanimsnts. The soul, it is believed, is attracted by the ceremonies, comes over on the bridge that is laid for it, and goes into the trap. AS soon as it has entered-that is, when the bag is inflated by the breeze-the opening is quickly closed, and the bag is talk en to the burial place, where grave has al ready been prepared. The bag is held with the opening to the grave, the strings are un- tied, and the soul-thst is, the wind in the bag-is squeezed into the grave, and the burial is afterwards completed. This rite is considered of equivalent value with the buri- al of the body, and the grave is treated with the same honor as if the body were really within it.
