loss. and yet there had been great loss;
that debt, which at first lay so heavy on
Mr.. Brooks, and which he intended to
lift as soon as possible. he had grown used
to, and did not longer feel to be burden.
And the debt to society troubled Mrs
Brooks, and the other parlors must be
furnished, and royalty, to match the H.
brary, and then a grand reception was
given. ....- ...
For these money had to be hired.
Benevolent balls and quasi-litcrary So
cietlcs, fashions caprice mingled with
the dancing parties, and Mrs. Brooks was
worn and weary with the manifold
duties OF her position, and must be re-
lleved of some household duties, and
another servant was indispensable.
MIR. Brooks confinement TO his bust
ness wore upon him, and he must have
recreation, which means fine horse
and buggy. But it was so selfish for him
and his wife to drive off every evening
and leave those dear girls at home after
they had been shut up all day in school.
SO two horses and a carriage and hostler
were needed.
Thus little by little expenses increased,
and his business, like all mems of the.
time, was dull, but his was on sound
basis; he was yet young and full of en-
ergy, and no one feared the result, nor
had he one thought of danger.
A party was made up for the sea-
shore. They joined it; it was their first
indulgence OF the kind, and sniff of the
salt sea is a luxury that strengthens.
One morning the bathers were very
gay, and Mr.. Brooks passed the safety
line, and the sea n,.yer gave him back.
The estate paid twenty cents on the
dollar.

Postage ON Nswsnaners.

This office is in receiptof a letter from
the Business Manager of the Kansas City
Times, live and progressive Western
journal, in reference to the subject of the
proposed repeal of postage ON newspapers
when sent from the office of publication.
The repeal proposed was suggested by the
Postmaster General in May last in a let
ter to the Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and the suggestion is repeated
in his annual report lately transmitted to
Congress.
A bill introduced at the last session by
Mr.. TOWNSEND, of Illinois, providing for
the repeal suggested, is still pending. The
management of the Kansas City Times,
before mentioned, have undertaken to
awaken publishers of newspapers in the
interest of the proposed modification of
the postal laws, and request our co-opera-
ton to this end. The fact is recalled that
twenty-eight leading papers of the
country paid over a quarter
of million dollars postage
for the year ending June 30, 1882. Know
ing the amount of postage paid by the
News for the same period, we are able to
appreciate the problem from pecuniary
standpoint. No doubt the proposed re-
peal would BE agreeable to news
paper publishers generally, and if
Congress in its wisdom shall
see fit to relieve publishers from this
truly burdensOme tax, the proprietor
of this journal, in common with his
brethren, will welcome the relief.
Taxation of newspapers is a tax on in
telligence, and if the postal service can be
made free in any respect, newspaper
should go through the mails without cost
| to the sender.
We trust that wise craftsmanship in the
matter ofraising the Federal revenues will
/ in time permit of free mail service fol
/ written and printed matter.
! If the Postmaster General or his as
! sistants will wrestle with the problem Of
rapid and regular mails, and solve
it, they will lay publishers under debt o.
gratitude fully as heavy as would be in
CURED from receiving the relief rendered
by the bin of Mr.. Townshend.

We have received from Senator Joseph
E. Brown the report of the United States
Commissioner of Education for the year
1880. 1t is a cOmpendiOus volume, con-
tanning valuable statistics of the educa-
tiOnal interests throughout our entire
country. The work will most certainly
attract the attention and careful investi-
CATION of the educators of the day, for GER
tainly there is no subject of such national
Importance inviting the attention of all
classes, as the betterment of the educa-
tiOnal advantages of the children Of the
masses of our people.
MEMORIAL ADDREsSES.-We are in
debted to Senator Brown, also, for the
memorial addresses on the life and charac-
ter of Ambrose Z. Burnside, delivered in
Congress on the 23d day of January, 1882,
and on the life and character of Mathew
H. Carpenter, delivered in Congress
on the 18th day of January, 1882,
both of which have been elegantly gotten
up at the Government Printing Office, and
prefaced by fine medallion portraits of the
distinguished dead, whose memory they
illustrate.
The frequent explosion of steam boilers
throughout the country of late, to the
great destruction of life and property,
should attract attention and in
duce some method of inspection nero
efficient than the mere ordinary viewing
and prOnouncing safe, perhaps, by incom-
petent inspectors. But few days ago a
boiler explosion in a Northwestern viii
lage killed nine men outright, besides
other mischief, and two or three days
later, one in Cincinnati, killing one man
instantly and terribly scalding and mutt
lating number of others. The rear end
of the boiler blew out and sent the frag-
ment of four tons weight of iron four hun
bred feet through the foundry building
and crashing into the river, killing one
man on its way and damaging a coal boat
lying at the wharf. This boiler was
found ON inspection to have been
cracked almost entirely around
on the inside nearly three-eighths of an
inch deep, probably from the trial test,
and had been ever since endangering
many lives and much valuable property.
Such dangers anywhere are not
to be regarded lightly; but in a city
crowded with population, and the locality
Of the steam works perhaps surrounded
with valuable property, the danger is
vastly increased. A system of weekly or
semi-weekly inspection by competent en-
gineers might preserve many of the valu-
able lives lost by these terrific explosions,
and also the great losses so often sus-
tanned by the owners of the machinery
and of the neighboring property.

At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876

Worlds industry were assembled at Phila-

that tremendous competition was a task of no
ordinary difficulty Inventions and prepare
lions for the alienation of pain and the cure

variety, representing the skill and the pro-
foundest study of the age, and it may be OF
vital Importance to you, personally, to know
that the highest and only medal given to rub

facturers of BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS

Working a Cold Deck.

In fact, the'author of the bill justifies the
failure to provide for competition by the
declaration that such a provision might
exclude men of manifest merit" as if
the very object of the competitive system
were not to ascertain and secure manifest
merit. The evil which it is sought to cure
is the disregard of ''manifest merit in
the selection of public servants, and Mr..
KassOn proposes to cure 1t by perpetual
ing the present system. 10 Whom Is tne

A Pathetic Illusion DispelIed.

''They are sinking before the mighty
tide that is pressing them away, and must
soon hear the roar of the last wave that
will settle over them forever" was writ
ten of the Indians half century ago, and
children wept when they read it in their
school readers. But the Indians didn't
sink. and they don't sink, and they don't
appear to mean to sink. On the contrary,
our Indian population is increasing at the
rate of one thousand year. There are
now in the country, exclusive of those in
Alaska. about 262, 900 Indians, distributed
among some seventy agencies.

The report Of the Bureau Of Statistics
shows a considerable decline in the vO-
lume Of emigration from Europe. In the
five months ending on the 3Oth Of NOvem-
Der, 1852, the total emigration was 244,644,
against ~. $50 for the same months of last
year. This decline appears to be pretty
uniform in Germany, England, Ireland,
Sweden. Norway and all other sources of
emigration from Europe. The most marked
decline is in the emigration from Ireland,
whence there We're 1850 arrivals in the
five months of 1852, against 25,066 for the
corresponding period of 1881. The decrease
in Irish emigration may be attributed
partially to the liberal land legislation.
In Germany and other parts of Europe
better harvests, and an improved cOndi-
ton Of the people in consequence, account
for the partial failure in the contributions
TO our foreign population as witnessed in
the official statistics.
