AustrO-HuDgaTy on the ordinary map
occupies one solid section, and to any
one unfamiliar with its history it would
naturally be taken to be a homogeneous
country, or at most, the two kingdoms
of Austria and Hungary. In truth, this
is not so. and there is no nation which
comprises so many diverse and continu-
ally warning elements. The empire in
cludes four duchies and one archduchy,
two principalities, six Kingdoms, two
margravates, three counties, republic,
and a free city, the Trent and Trentino;
the BOcche di Cattaro and the Primorie;
the military confines; the Voivodina and
Banat. and three Sandjaks. All of
these divisions have enjoyed separate
existence at no distant period, and
never have and never will assimilate.
Each hates the other, and it is this
hatred which has caused the recent out
breaks between the Germans and the
Czechs, which name is used TO denote
the Bohemians and Moravians Relig-
ion and race are the great points of diff
ference, and to settle these differences is
the task which the Austrian Government
has set itself. The harmonization of the
Irish, Scotch. Welsh and English by
England is scarcely strong enough il.
lustration of the difficulty of the task.
The suppression of the press, however,
will not be thought here proper means
Of going about the work.

The Fight in Ohio.
ers.

The Ohio Democrats have put their
ticket in the field, and as this is an off
year it is not improbable that Mr.. Charles
Foster may be retired to private life.
The contest presents but little to attract
attention. 1t is hardly likely that the
majority will be large either way. Book
walter, the Democratic candidate, is said
to be a good piece of timber, and is
quite popular. He is expected to divert
considerable of the German vote, but
Ohio Germans have way of voting the
Republican ticket straight, and though
the temperance issue may cause revolt,
it is not safe to count on large defec-
ton. The contest will be lively, as most
Ohio fights are, and Bookwalter's cleo
ton may be the result of it.

"Supposing all the planets in one line
with the earth at once, and in their most
favorable position" says Professor c. A.
Young, of Princeton, ''the disturbing
power of the whole conspiracy would be
less than one ten thousandth part of the
moons disturbing force. Now the sole
meteorological effect yet traced to the
moons attraction is a minute atmos-
pheric tide which causes the mercury in
the barometer to rise and fall about one
twenty thousandth of an inch day. If
anything in science is certain, it would
seem to be that the effects of planetary
attraction upon the earth's atmosphere are
so Insignificant as to be the hopelessIy
beyond our power of perception. 1t may
be that other influences, magnetic or
thermal, may yet possibly be made out;
but if they exist at all they have as yet
eiuded observation, and must be exces-
sively triiing and obscure"

Summer Living.
Food nnd HenIfh.

Summer living is an art. You might
as well have no summer as not to know
how to spend it. Do not waste it, but
learn how to use it. Clothing wants
changing; food wants adapting; the
house wants remodelling. We want air
and must have it. Light clothes, light,
digestible food; bright, airy rooms, and
all things fit TO bring about quick
changes. No laziness, no languor, no
torpor--but the actual living process &C
CELEBRATED and renewed Here, in our
dusty streets and stuffed-up houses, we
do not let the air have fair pay. We
call it keeping houses cool, to let the air
stagnate in them, till musty smells meet
you on the entrance. Get rid of those
musty smells, and let the air and sun
shine in, for you cannot live in close
rooms now. One Whit of fresh air is
better than the finest scents, we can tell
you, and he who understands will turn
with nausea from the scentladen, sitting
atmosphere, and prefer the outside to
the inside of the house.

The debt of Minnesota is as far from
settlement as ever, and likely to remain
50. The people having at three successive
elections voted in favor Of repudiating
the debt, it was resolved to take the mat
ter out of the hands of the people by q
legal trick and give the question over to
a tribunal OF five Judges, who should in
vestigste and report whether the debt
was legal or not. Here came the diff
Guilty. All the Judges are elective in
Minnesota, and are consequently afraid
TO offend the people, who are repudi-
atOrs at heart, and so every one of them
lodged this debt tribunal, and refused
to sit on it on some pretext or other.
The Judges of the Supreme Court could
not do so because most of them had
been attorneys in the case at one time or
another, and 1t vas the came throughout
the judiciary. The court of five Judges.
which was to pass on the matter, cannot
be obtained, and the question viii have

Distribution Of the National Debt.

Mr.. R. P Porter, Special Agent of the
Census Bureau, has ascertained from his
Investigations that out of $644, 900, 400
registered bonds, the sum of $40, 49,
400 is held in amounts of over $50, 900,
and only s.. 555, 300 in amounts of less
than $500; also, that the distribution OF
the amounts less than $500 is amoung
%, 613 persons, while the larger amount
stated is held by onlJ . ,529 rich men
and corporations. This fact is spoken
of by BrGdstreefs and other journals as
startling" and as "matter for rehec-
tion." The intimation is that, if the Re
pudiatiOnists or Communists shall ever
make any Roadway in this country, they
will find strong basis for appealing to
popular passions and prejudices IN
the fact that the great bulk OF
the debt is held by a compare
lively small number of wealthy men
and corporations. There are reasons to
believe, however, that any such appre-
hension is entirely unfounded. 1t is en-
tirely natural that government debt
bearing 81 and per cent. interest should
drift into the hands of few retired
capitalists, for the rate of interest is too
low to attract popular and permanent
investment among an enterprising peo-
pie and in a country full of opportunities
for more profitable investments. But
there is no danger that either Communism
or Reputation will grow to any alarming
extent so long as any vestige of the
present government debt shall remain.
1t has been paid off, is being paid off,
and will continue to be paid off so
rapidly, and with such small burden to
the people, that it will never at any
stage excite anything like popular an
tagonism. The public debt is to day
only about one half what it was at the
close of the war 1t is the opinion of
ex Secretary Mccullough that the actual
debt, including obligations and con-
tracts which were subsequently liqui-
dated out Of the Treasury funds with
out going into bonds, was at one time
not less than $4,000 5000. 1t is now
only s., 200, 0OO.O But the burden of
the debt has been decreased in still
greater proportion. In 1865 about thir-
ty-three millions of people were paying
something like $3.50. 900, 900 annually for
interest on the public debt; to-day about
fifty-two millions are paying only
$64, 100000 of interest. In other
words, at the close of the war,
the interest charge amounted to
about 81 80 per capita, while it now
amounts to only 81 20 per capita. The
debt itself has been reduced one half,
and the burden of carrying it has been
reduced nearly three-quarters within six
teen years. Such a showing is the
strongest possible argument against flu
ture trouble. 1t accounts for the pres
ent unparalleled credit of the govern
ment, and the universal confidence of
money lenders all the world over. Be-
sides, though the American debt be not
in the shape of a popular loan, it is rap
idly assuming the shape of native loan,
and in the latter respect appeals to the
selfish interest as well as the patriotism
of the American people. Reputation is
one of the dangers that have been left
behind in the progress of free govern
ment on the American continent

presents will be i'll used if we do not
learn from it something very definite
about the cost and real value of secon-
Diary batteries and of many different
systems of electric lighting. Telephone
systems will form a very important fea-
ture of the exhibition, and there may be
something of interest and value in plans
for underground telegraphy, which is a
subject of growing Importance in all our

bilities as the application of electricity
to the driving of railway cars and its
use for heating and cooking purposes

A well known citizen of Albany, New
York, occasionally relates the following
experience OF his early life to illustrate
the danger of a conviction on circum-
stantial evidence: He had had lovers
quarrel, known to her family, with the
lady who has been bis wife now for
twenty years. One evening he called
upon her and a reconciliation took place.
In the anxiety of restored love and conf
dence she expressed the fear that he
might be assaulted while passing through
a disorderly part of the city on his way
home, aud to reassure her he took pis-
toll from his pocket, told her that he al
ways carried it, and was explaining its
mechanism, when it was accidentally
discharged. The girls parents rushed
into the room. expecting to discover a
murder or a suicide, but fortunately no
harm had been done, although the bullet
grazed the girls face. On his way home
the lover threw his pistol into the river
and has never since carried one. He
thinks that any jury in Christendom
would have found him guilty of murder
if he had killed his sweetheart, for
against his unsupported denial the
strongest circumstantial evidence of a
motive could have been brought

If the demand Of English working
men for reciprocity of tariffs should pre-
vail, American protectionists would very
soon be struck by a great light upon the
tariff question" The game of prOtec
ton is one that two nations can play at,
and when England places heavy duties
on wheat, cheese, butter, etc, it is quite
possible that the tariff question will be
better understood than it was last year

An English peer and some friends
were returning from the races. In the
adjoining compartment were eight book
makers, who, cleaned out by successive
failures, were travelling without tickets,
hoping by a turn of good luck to escape
payment. At last one Of them hit upon
a brilliant idea. Pulling his cap down
over his eyes and buttoning his coat he
went to the carriage of the noble Lord
and his friends, and, assuming an off,
cial air, collected all their tickets. These
he distributed among his friends, and on
reaching London the noble Lord mar
rowly escaped seeing himself and his
friends taken into custody for attempt
ing to defraud the railway company. 1t
was only by paying their fare a second
time that they escaped from the clutches
of the railway servants.
