Ir mas been remarked that no in
vcntion was ever made by a woman or
a negro; but a young lady Of Albany,
y. ", Miss Skerritt, has just per.
fected and had patented a folding
step for passenger coaches. which.
when lowered. comes within a foot Of
the ground. When the train is
ready to star, the steps are turned out
Of the way by means Of lever, which
also holds them secure. This renders
them free from ice and cinders, and in
ascending from them one is in no dan
ger Of slipping. Another important
feature is that when folded. these steps
prevent passengers from jumping of

The American farmer has gained
as dairyman the trife he has hitherto
lost as a hog-raiser by the European
trichinosis scare. With short rations of
American pork our transatlantic Gus
toners are bound to have full rations
of Ametican cheese-hence a large in-
crease in our exports ofthat commodity.
During the month of March our exports
of it were worth S455,562 against
$l96, $50 in the same month last year,

A Louisiana jury that has just
been trying a man for killing his
daughters seducer has convicted the
prisoner of mauslaughter, but asked
that only the lightest legal punishment
be inflicted. Such verdict is credi-
table alike to the heads and hearts of
the jury. The general expectation of an
acquittal has been disappointed; but
:his is all the more to the jury's honor,
for the average juryman intensely dis
likes to oppose public opinion. Man
slaughter is the least offence, teohnl-
oally, of which man can be guilty
when he kills another except in self-de-
fence, and the temporary insanity plea,
by which some juries dodge their duty,
is not believed by half the men who
make it the excuse for a verdict Of ac-
quittal If man chooses to avenge
bis private wrongs by taking the life of
fellow man he should be man enough
to take the consequences if public
opinion supports him in bis illegality
there is legal method of expressing it
and claiming consideration for it, and
the only honorable course FOR q sympa-
thetic jury is that embodied In the
Louisiana verdict just alluded to.

The uoolen interests of this IN,

The woolen interests Of this coun-
try have been placed in peril through
carelessness in the work Of revising the
United States statutes. BY the tariff
laws as originally passed stockings
and other knit goods composed wholly
or in part of worsted were subjected to
specific and an ad valorcm duty. In
the Revised Statutes, which went
into effect June %, 1874, the language
was changed somewhat, and this has
led to serious complications.-Before
the case comes up again for decision it
is probable that Congress will correct
the defect in the law by declaring its
meaning to be that of the original
statutes, under which there has been
no question as to the right Of tue &c We.
nue. Authorities to collect both specific

The revelations that are being
made ip the star route business in
Washington 20 to show that the Post
Office Department. during the past four
or five years, at least, has been man
aged in a reckless, corrupt wa. Enor-
nous sums have been paid to favorite
contractors for carrying imaginary
mails over eqnally imaginary routes,
and we are told that portion of the
moneys thus squandered has beep used
in rpnpipg tbe machine in political
campaigns. 1t Is difficult to estimate
how much has been unlawfnlly taken
out of the treasury in this way, but the
lowest estimates run the figures into the
millions. The new administration has
started out well in exposing this scan
dalous jobbery. and it ca9nQt fail to
haye the support Of impartial men ofall
parties who value honesty and purity
In the administration Of the government.
The suggestive point connected with
the exposure is the inquiry which every
one will naturally make-namcly. how
many other leaks Of greater or lesg
magnitude are there ia she same depart
ments 1t is almost impossible to re-
sist the conclusion that the star route
swindle is not the only one in the postal
service. Thisis for the new Postmaster
General to discover. II be shall succeed
in putting an end to the jobbery in the

One of the most effective move
ments toward reform of late has been
the effort to improve the character of
literature sold on railway trains. In
years past most of the reading matter
offered for sale by the train vendors has
been of highly sensational character.
Generally quick sales and large profits
were realized. The dealers, however,
felt themselves justified in selling what
would yield the best returns on account
of the large amount they were charged
by the railway companies for the privi-
lege of selling their wares upon their
respective lines. One of the first to in
aucurate the reform was General Su-
perintendent Paine of the Lake Shore II
Michigan Southern Road. By him all
obscene publications, or those having a
tendency to produce immortality were
banished from the company's trains.
Gradually the same rule was introduce
ed upon other roads. and much that was
formerly Objectionable in the books and
periodicals sold has disappeared entire
