A NefariOuS Traffic.

The greater part of the opium con-
sumed in China is imported from India.
and the revenue derived from the tarffic
forms an important item in the Indian
revenue account. While India was gov
erned by the East India Company, the
whole of this trade was in the hands of
private individuals, as the company did
not choose to engage in business that
was prohibited by the Chinese Govern
ment. But in 1862 China was COM
PEELED to legalize the traffic, and, though
allowed to impose duty on the imp0r-
tatiOn Of the drug, England took care
that the duty was not so high as to
prove prohibitory, and thus iniure an
important and growing branch of In
dian trade. The cultivation of opium
IN India is extensively carried on in
but two special tracts of territory; on
the fertile tablelands of Central India,
which corresponds to the old Kingdom
Of Malwa, and where its cultivation is
free, the duty being collected as the
opium passes through Bombay; and in
the valley Of the Ganges, around Patna
ard Benares, where the cultivation is a
strict Government monopoly. Through
out the rest of India it is absolutely
gif nrnffhib6ittHd nffh1Jib6t6Ts In Bengal a number Of
tity Of land WitEfP fpoppy, and, as in
other Indian industries, a pecuniary
advance is made to them before they
commence operations, which is bal
anced when the opium. is delivered to
the agencies. The opium is purchased
by the Government at fixed rates ac-
cording to the quality, and the man
ufacture into opium is a Government
monopoly. The profit is enormous. In
1878-79, 81, 200 chests of opium were
exported from India to China, of the
value of 913,000,000, of which $780,
600 represented the net profit to the
Indian Government. At the beginning
of the century the annual exports bare
ly reached $500 chests.

been at it ever since" He published
several books which indicated his pecu-
liar love of research, and one of these,
'Arthur on Names" is a work of per-
manent value. Toreturn to our paral-
lei, our first and last vice presidents
We're lawyers, and were residents of the
city of New York. Had Jefferson
been removed by death BUR would
have become president, and his evil
destiny would have been escaped. All
his bad luck, indeed, occurred after
he was nearly through the vice presi-
dency.
Another point of similarity is found
in the fact that both were widOWers.
Had Burr reached the white house.
Theodosia would have been its tempo
rary mistress. Burr had then been a
widower five years, and was desirous
of marriage. His daughter Joined in
this desire, for she knew how lonely
her father must be after her union
with Alston. The latter deprived Burr
of his best support-the society of q
high-toned daughter-and when thus
bereaved he became the victim of evil
influences. Theodosia was married a
month previous to her fathers entrance
iuto the vice presidency, and having
witnessed this gratifying ceremony she
accompanied her husband to his south
ern home. The next time she met her
father he was mere refugee who
sought her hospitality, being crushed
by public vengeance awakened by the
death of Hamilton. Tho first New
York vice president, indeed, was the
most remarkable political wreck in
American history, and hence his
name will always hold an unenviabIe
distinction. He was the only one of
our vice presidents who was an avowed
duelist, and though that was one of the
sins of the age, it really seems strange
that so tragic an affair should have oc-
Cured while he was holding the second
Office in the gift of the people--thus
leaving the vice presidency stained
with blood.

THE comments of the London Echo
on the death of President Garfield are
perhaps the most significant of any
yet uttered by the European press. The
Echo says: "Sovereigns and statesmen
of Europe would do we'll to reflect upon
the cosmopolitan sorrow. Were every
one of them swept away tomorrow the
people would not be half so deeply
touched. European soyereigns and
statesmen still maintain their control
over the bodies and possessions of those
whose lives and treasure are lavished
in dynastic aggrandizement, but they
have lost the hearts of the people. In
the hour of her sorrow the great cosmo-
politan Republic commands far more
sympathy beyond its border than the
proudest historic monarch of Continen-
tai Europe could command over its
subjects"

CESAR had his Brutus, Charles 1. had
his Cromwell, and Roscoe Conkling has
his Lowery, who, though he may not be
as illustrious as many of the other per-
sonages who have figured on fame's
immortal camping-ground, is quite as
busy as any of them. ''Sam" LOwery
has been a thorn in Conkling's side for
many years. He has at last succeeded
in carrying his home county against
him, when "Conk" was personally in
the field and peddling tickets in his
own ward. Sam" is, according to the
Nation, an Ulster Protestant, popular
with the Catholics, and has for many
years made it his life work, a CORE
spondent of the Sun says, ''to whittle
down the ConklinG Caesar to ordinary
mortal proportions" He has kept at
this steadily for many years,
and would have doubtless accom-
plished it before now but that
he has had occasionally. for some
unexplained reason, ''to keep out of
sight" He never, however, allowed
any of the whiting he had done on the
Caesar to be repaired, or puttiei over,
or anything of that kind, so that when
he resumed operations there never was
anything to be done over again. He
must in fact long ago have damaged
the magnificent torso" more than the
world knew. This whiting, too, is de
scribed as having been 4 labor of love
with him. He is a ''master of polihca,
intrigue" but does not seek office, and
will be satisfied with the honor of Gust
ing Mr.. Conkling from seat in the
convention and occupying it himself
he IS not an orator, but excels in
drastic reports" He certainly seems
from all this to have been made for the
humilition of the great senator"

Two New York Vice Preside nts.
New York Letter in Rochester Democrat.

The fact that General Arthur is the
most recent vice president elected from
the state of New York recalls the mem
CRY and character of the first. One
point of similarity holds in this paral-
fel-their clerical parentage. Aaron
Burr was the son of a Presbyterian
preacher, while Arthur's father was
prominent in the Baptist ministry. I
well remember the latter as man of
both robust body and mind. He stood
six feet high and was well proportioned,
and yet, Notwithstanding his great
strength and physical development, ne
was mild and gentle to an extreme.
He was a teacher as well as a preacher,
and seemed indeed best adapted to the
first-mentioned Office. I remember
hearing an address which he delivered
on this subject and was so impressed
with the freshness and power of his
views that it led to some personal in
quiries. He told me that he had al
mays loved to teach, and had been to a
greater or less degree in that service
since boyhood Indeed" said he,
"when l was mere boy they called
me the wee schail master, and I have

AFTER a vast amount of preliminary
vaporing something has really been
done in the star route cases. Warrants
have been issued against Brady and his
immediate pals, upon an information
fled against them in the district court.
This course was taken because an ad-
journment Of the grand jury was secur-

Dorsey's case is not reached by this in
formation, but it is to be brought before
the grand jury later.

lations that will secure to the whole
people just and impartial rates for the
transportation of flelght and passen-
gers. Several other equally pertinent
suggestions were made. The alliance
also passed resolution saying that
they emphatically condemn the prac-
tice of receiving free railway passes by
judges, members of congress and the
legislatures and other officials. St.
Louis was chosen as the place for the
next meeting.

THE official autopsy of the late presi
dent having been published, the war o.
the roses will now commence. The
medical profession will take sides, one
party demonstrating how badly the case
was managed, and the other side de-
Tending the course of the attending sur
geons. Meantime the majority Of peo-
pie will conclude that the practice of
medicine is, even in this nineteenth CEN
tury, still a matter Of experiment.

An Enterprising Fisherman.
Hartford Times.

A couple of Hartford gentlemen who
were off Montauk Point blue fishing on
Wednesday, say that the waves were
running high, and bluefish were plen-
ty. The waves breaking into the boat
drenched them to the skin, and made
them think that the spot was spiced
with danger. A short distance away
was one-armed man, alone in his
boat, nd he was handling five lines,
besides keeping his boat right side up.
When a fish was hooked he would hold
the tiller between his knees and haul
in the fish by winding the line round
the stump of his lost arm.

A Very Strange story About Guiteau.

MENTOR, O., Sept. 21.-The Rev. w.
b. Hendryx, pastor of the Disciple
Church at Mentor, said that in the
midst of the campaign a year ago Gen
eral Garfield's family received intima-
tions from Chicago of his being in dan
ger. Being demonstrated with for not
being more cautious, Garfield replied
to Hendryx: II did not seek nomina-
ton, and the Lord will protect me if it
is His will" Hendryx then said that
one very dark night during the cam
paign, after the family had retired, a
knock was heard, and Garfield went to
the door. A man there said another
man Ia a buggy outside, fully six rods
away, in darkness, wanted him to come
out to see him. 'He is welcome in, but
[ cannot go out there" This ended
the interview. When Guiteau's por-
trait reached Mentor after the shoot
ing, several persons recognized it as a
suspicious-looking face they had seen
several times in the village. His last
words on leaving Mentor, said Hen
dryx, were SO bod that we feared for
him. He was thoroughly in earnest to
oppose Mormonism and carry out the
principles of his inauguration. The
baser clements of society saw in him
an uncompromising enemy. and he has
fallen victim to his boldness of speech.
These things show that the people of
Mentor had @ fear of some trouble be-
falling President Garfield. From the
very beginning this fear was also the
measure Of their love, which was shown
in their attendance at his house to-day
with words Of tenderness for the stricl2-
en- family, especially the two youngest
Garfield boys, who felt their fathers
death keenly, and would not be COM
forted for long time.
