A MORTUARY SPLURGE.

has had a grand post mortem tiare-up
over the memorial and literary remains
of the poet Longfellow. We have been
affected by it SO keenly that we have
an irresistible desire to take some of
the drippings from its leaks for little
salad for the EVENING LIGHT. 1t is
rarely the editor of news daily gets
mounted on a Pegasus with such vast
wings and of such violent daring, and
a few hairs out Of the horses tail, or a
feather or two from wing, might do,
some day, to start museum. The ODD
and wonderful in the great art OF ex-
pressing the inscrutable in words, 60
together like white and red onions al
ternating on a huckster's chip. Its
marvellous depth and indistlnctness
could only be fully appreciated by the
audience of Boston Lyceum.
The caption OF the Times-Demo-
crat article consists of four livid look
ing latin words that are to us strangers,
while our latin dictionary is loaned to
a scholar who is getting faded IN his
classics. We usually have some &C
quaintance with the Latin that floats
into newspapers and lawyers briefs,
but suppose this to be excavated from
a profounder depth. We think it means
that when a man is dead there is a
funeral-it looks SO. But we could
not pretend thus to guess at the mean
ing of some of the editorial English.
For instance, we are told Of poor MIR.
Longfellow that he "has passed over
that Bifrost rainbow bridge that leads
to immortality" the only
of which that we can guess
is, that wherever the poet has gone, ne
has taken his mortality with him. Then!
with a BifroSt rainbow air of semi
the learned writer SEMI
comprehensively says, HE did not
own the grand sculpturesque power OF
Tennyson.' We take the Tennyson
of this quotation to be the immortal
author of The Charge of the Heavy
English Laureate, in
fact. In thus viewing that powerful
poem in the light of its great weight, it
naturally takes the form of sculpture,
and we recognize this passage as
somewhat ineligible and altogether
exceptional in the Times-Democrat
editorial. We agree with our learned
contemporary that this sculptureSque
faculty did not belong to our modest
New Englnnd poet. With little ex-
pldIldtlOIl, dS W Wiidl IL liSaHo, w
might further prepare ourselves to ad-
NIT that Ibis vapory lumlnosltles and
golden glows, his dreamy tlnts and
transparent shadows, were felt to be
Natures own" We know something
about Nature, but can yet have no
certain knowledge that these commodl-
ties are owned by her without a key
which should, indeed, have accom-
panied the article.
We regret that we can not go through
this teeming column of literary treas
ures, but they are too thick and slab
to wade in. We are constrained to
think that when an editorial writer feels
himself to be great and mighty the
most insignificant objects seem great
and mighty to him. Thus it happens,
probably, that the It'd. comes to speak
of those Withdrawing, water-spark-
ling stanzas, commencing with that
mighty line, When descends on the
Atlantic" We turn to copy of
our favorite bard, and tor the thou

rous Skaldic harp-throbbings, is abso-
lutely faithful to Snorro Sturleson's
"Heimskringla," even in the choice of
adjectives."
If our usually lucid, able and inau-
entail contemporary is going to have
many such turns, he should start a
branch of the I'D. in Massachusetts,,
say as literary and scientific Quar-
terly.

THE printers on the New York
World have struck, against reduction

CONGRESS refusing to reduce the tax
on whisky and tobacco will leave a re-
dundant public treasury upon which Is
likely to be logically grounded some IN
iudicious spendthrift legislation.
IT IS said the gulches of Harris Dis
trict, Alaska, are filled with gold. The
entire district is scattered with immense
boulders, alive with gold which can be
seen with the naked eye, all of which
by some CONFUSION of nature has been
separated from the main ledge. Gen
eral milling operations will begin as
soon as the necessary machinery can
be procured when it is expected vast
amount Of gold will be shipped.
HERE are, on the stocks, in ship
builders yards, five unfinished double
turret monitors, for the y. S. Navy,
upon which no work has been done for
the last five years. Appropriations
are asked to finish them, and it is eX-
pected that the Naval Committee OF
the House will report favorably upon
it. Their names are the Monadnock,
Amplitude, Terror. Miantonomoh and
Puritan. The completion of these will
cost the government, for one, ST. ,aoo,'
900, for three others ST. ,ooo,o 900 each,
and for the fifth, $4,000.
In THE foreign sugars imported for
refining there have been two conflicting
tests by which it has been claimed the
import should be guaged. The gov
eminent has exacted duties under the
chemical test of saccharine strength,
while importers have claimed the right
to paw under the color test, which the
government rejected under pretext OF
frauds. Many of the latter have paid
under protest. The Supreme Cout
have now decided that the PLAIN mean
ing of the law is that the color test is
the actual and only test, whether low
color has been artihcially produced or
not, and that if the law is defective the
fault lies with congress. This decision
will cost the government over S5,ooo,-
900.
Mrs. MARY F.. HOWE, president and
manager of the late Women's Savings
Bank of Boston, has been sentenced
to three years hard labor in the House
Of Correction. The savings bank prob
lem is still awaiting solution by the
class to whom the care of their savings
is of vital moment. When the convic,
ton arose some years ago that the
savings bank system was a disastrous
failure, there was general discussion
of the British plan of postoftice de.
post and delivery of an interest-bear.
ing government bond. The difficulty
was as to the amount of the minimum
bond. In the usual labor savings
banks the great mass of deposits have
been in less sums than 81, while the
government could hardly apply the
machinery with bonds under SIS, lro
visioning for the payment of interest
Some method should be devised, for
if the government is to issue interest
paving bonds at all, there is no reason
why they should be issued only to tn
rich. to fly off to Europe with, to spen'
the interest in luxury and show. Thi
is the long: congressional term, an
time should be found to mature som
such measure.

DRY GOODS.

The dry goods trade was fully as heavy
TODAY as at any time during the year.
Country dealers are beginning. TO learn that
prices here are as low or even lower than IN
st. Louis or Chicago. In those cities new
spring prints are quoted firm at ~, whlle
here in Dallas the same brands and styles
are sold from 81 to g. The same prices
that govern in Chicago rule IN st. Louis,
and if goods can be bought here at cores
nonding figures or less, country mer-
chants will soon learn it, and will not throw
time and money away by passing through
here to make purchases.
Late adyices from Chicago state that the
wholesale dry goods trade has been fairly
active for January during the past week,
sales continuing largely on account OF man
orders. New spring, prints have been
offered freely ut 6lc:, that hgure
being &c. below previous quotations.
The styles are more attractive than
ever before, though not so brilliant,
perhaps, and many of the new pat,
terms are already meeting with great deal
of favor. By comparing these prices with
those of Dallas it will be seen they are fully
as low here if not lower than in Chicago,
The boot and shoe trade i'll boston mas
been light, although perhaps little more
has been done than in the first two weeks
of the year Manufacturers as yet are do,
ing very little, not having commenced
/
work on new orders.
In New York the general demand for
dry goods has been considerably inter-
rupted by rain storms, as heretofore re-
ported. Spring specialties continue to have
the chief selections. The Canton gingihams
and also the Renfrew ginghams Will De
opened on Monday in all the markets.
Otherwise the market is unchanged as com
! pared with previous reports.
