TpE TINES IyToRNs u that in 1887
tie compulsory feature of the Tobacco
Inspection laws was repealed, but W.
restored again during the dark days af
the Civil war, when, in 1861. tb' Repub
lican party had control in this Stt'.--
We always thought there was something
very iniqutous about thi. compulsory
inspection, and now that the W. Lave
been informed as at present IN force, IL
is the outgfowth Of tue wicked Il publ
cans, the whole matter Is plain, and We
feel justified in our an'ipa;iy % it: and
are only surprised that 50 earnest
Democrat, a. the editor Of the Times
should dud anything ia the system to he
tolerated or defended. Ii the Repubh-
cans. who wickedly and by intimidation
4r-e-Voters. obtained control Of tie l"si-
Intive aud executive branches of our
State government, re-enacted this law
which the good sense Of the people O.
the State nearly thirty years before
abolished, it is much stronger reason
why We should wish to get rid Of it now
that Democrats have come to their cwn
again. If the good sense Of INC people
forty-four years ago abolished compuI-o
ry inspection, and We lived con entcIly
without it for twenty-seven years and
during that time were steadily accumu-
lating, as the Times says, an annual
contribution to the warehouse sinking
fund.- it is certainly an additional ana
very strong argument in favor of the
abolition now Of the compulsory system.
Certainly the present system is not max
ing any annual contribution to the
warehouse sinking fund" for as We
showed recently, from the C)mptrollers
report, the expenses of the warehouses
for the fiscal year, ending 30th Septem-
Der, 1880, were $7775 81 over and
above all receipts, which amount had to
be made up by the State Treasury from
taxes levied on the people at large
These facts aud figures are incoutruvert
able, if the Com ptroller'- report -. -----

button to the warehouse sinking fund. y

If this Objectionable feature was the
offspring of Republican corruption, let US
abolish it at once, and return to the sim
pie plan Of allowing each man to sell his
product when and where he pleases and
to whom he pleases If the fountain
was poisoned by Republican corruption
all that flows from it must be polluted
If that party did this thing, because, as
the Times says, they were DESTROYS of
building up most outrageous system
of patronage" let us abolish it because 1t
maintains "a most outrageous system OF
patronage" and nothing more.

A Fly's Mouth.

apparently, is unfolded long organ
looking very like an additional leg; and
with this the fly scrapes the sugar, licks
up the cream, spoliates the jam and
effects destruction in other and varied
ways. To understand what the organ
in question is, let us briefly glance at
the typical structure of the insect mouth.
-Four sets Of organs Or appendages COM
pose the "mouth." There is first an
upper lip, then pair of large jaws,
then a pair of lesser jaws-forming a
tube or tongue in butterfiies-and last
OF all lower lip. In beetle the chief
mouth organs are the greater and lesser
jaws, whilst in a bee or wasp the Jaws
are also well developed for the work of
the hive, but the under lip forms a
tongue wherewith the bee sucks up
honey from the flowers. Now in the
fly the mouth parts are of modified ma
ture. Speaking generally, the "iaws" "
are represented by small bristle- like
organs, and the upper lip IS developed;
but it is the labium, or under lip, which
comes to the front in the development
of the fiy's mouth. Here it forms, as in
the bees, the chief organ of nutrition.
1t is the under lip which we see un-
folded from beneath the head when the
fly attacks the sugar. And when we
place this organ beneath the microscope
we can readily discover the secret of its
service.
The "tongue,'' as we may term the
under lip, consists of stalk highly
movable and muscular, at the end of
which couple of broad leaves expand
outward from the middle to form a
sucker-like organ, beautifully adapted
for licking up fluids, and for scratching
solid matters also. This fan like end is
supported on firm tubular framework.
acting as set of springs to open and
shut the fans, whilst the microscope
shows us that this structure is really
like. a file or rasp in its nature We can
understand, then, readily enough how
such muscular organ can be used for
the purposes of fly nourishment. When,
after a summer of flies, the morocco
covers of our books and the finely poll
ished surfaces of our furniture are
| scratched and eroded, we can readily
appreciate the cause of the damage.
With this file it wages war even on our
selves. For, as famous authority on
! insects remarks, it is by its means that
the fly ''teases us in the. heat of sum
mer, when it alights ON the hand or face
to sip the perspiration as it exudcs from
! and is condensed upon the skin"

A Word to Young Wives.

A widowed woman in middle life was
once asked by friend, if she should
ever marry again? "No," she replied,
IN all candOr and with no traces Of Bit
terness. 81 am too old to learn to live
with another man. She recognized
the fact that there were peeuliarities of
character and disposition in every one
that required an especial education as
one went along to make life harmonious.
Perfect adaptability cannot be expected
from those who had been brought up in
widely differing homes and spheres
oftentimes. Young ladies brought I'D
on novels make no account of this fact,
hence much of the disappointment and,
perhaps, bitterness of spirit which arises
when the fact dawns upon them that
the beloved one is only a common-p place
mortal with many failings, like her
father and brothers and uncles, or even
herself.
Take it for granted that there will be
Objectionable points of character or
manner that are real trial. But do
| not take it too much to heart. Above
all bury the fact in the secret depths
OF your soul, rather than speak of them
to others. Nothing spreads faster than
the whisper that a young wife is dis
satisfied with her husband. A prairie
fire cannot keep up with it. And trjfies
hight as air are magnitied as they sweep
along, until you would be astonished at
the results. You have gained nothing
and lost much. But woman of cheer
full tact and loving heart can educate
young man into almost any style she
chooses. Sulking and fretting will never
do 1t, but brave, true heart and steady
persistence will make over a character
marvelously. | have seen it done more
than once, not the less effectively be-
cause the work went on all unconscious
~. That was the beauty of it. Dear
girl, If you find John is not the ideal the
novels pictured him, you can mould him
into something great deal better, and
at the same time establish yourself as
queen of true heart, sphere wide
enough to satisfy even an ambitious
woman.
DO not give yourself too much dis
tress over tribes that may be unimpor-
tant, though not exactly to your mind.
allow to each person certain amount
OF individuality. Often those most in
tolerant of these things in others are
those OF the most marked pecularites
themselves. Differences of early train
ing make marked difference in habits,
which may be a source of much discord
if you only give it full play But a bet
ter way Is to pass over in silence what
cannot be remedied. and not waste too
much sentiment overit. People can be
very happy in each others society,
where love reigns, even though they are
very unlike in many respects.
You will need to learn the art of liy-
ing harmoniously, with almost any man
of character sufficiently marked to be
of any force in the world. An ener-
getic, efficient character will have it's
angles. Learn to dwell more on the
good traits than to be always searching
with a microscope for the little failings.

The corsage bows of satin to be worn
at the left side of the belt have reached

Embroidery and hemstitching in the

applied to table linen.
The old-fashioned flowing sleeves of
lace are again popular. The wide direct

Dove-colored silk stockings embrosd-

Egyptian scarabees and South Amer

bridesmaids wear short wells of white
silk tulle, and shoulder capes, and
dainty mouchof muffs, formed entirely
OF white flowers, and edged with frills
of rich lace
Chenille flowers and foliage are very
fashionable; they are used for coiffures
and the trimming of bonnets, and are

During a recent session of the New
Jersey Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Salem, N. j. IA
brother moved that those members of
the Conference who had completed fifty
years in the ministry be invited to oc-
cupy seats on the platform during the
session. We mention the fact, says the
Graphic, merely to show how slow pro-
motion is in that denomination. Very
few preachers live to make a record of
fifty years in the work, and when they
have done so they are old men. Yet
from the action of the New jersey Con-
ference we infer it takes half century
of straight preaching to entitle brother
to seat on the platf form in the rear of
the Bishop. This is discouraging
