REDUCE THE POSTAGE.

a strop" ressure is being brought
upon tn. 1gressiOnal postofice
committees reduce the rate on
letter postage to two cents. The
committees are represented as being
unfaYorable to the reduction, hence
it is not likely that any change will
be made by the present Congress.
The argument is presented that the
postofice department is not self
sustaining; that is, it costs govern
ment more to transmit letters than
it receives for the work, and that
this being true, the deficiency has to
be made up from the peoples money
hence to reduce the postage would
merely mean the increase of taxa
ton in another direction. If this
logic is good as to prospective defici-
encies it is equally good as to present
shortages, and the postage rates
ought at once to be increased so as
to cover the difference between the
receipts and disbursements of the de-
partment. Or, what would perhaps
come nearer to exact justice to
every Individual, would be to charge
postage according to distance as
well as weight. All this class Of
arguments are wrong. The people
deriue the benefit from cheap mails,
and no public money is expended
more wisely or more benefcially
than in this direction.

Dallas, Tex, 13.-The storm king,
after subjecting this section, yester-
day evening, a hail storm unprece-
dented in severity, completely
astOnished and bewildered the in
habitants this morning by a COM
bination of rain and hail, that COM
pletely eclipsed the previous efforts.
For four hours water fell in torrents
and the streets rivaled ordinary
rivers. Even metallic roofs were
perforated and the leakage has done
immense damage TO stocks of goods.
The total damage in Dallas is esti-
mated at $4,000. The rain this
morning flooded the basement of
many business houses. The worst
sufferers are the Daily Herald ;
damage to the press and stock is
estimated at $4,000 to $4,000.
Every effort will be made to get out
a paper, diminished in size, in the
morning. Water in the building is
FIVE feet deep. E. NJ. Fillnons
wholesale liquor store, in the same
building, was similarly visited.

ANOTHER ANTI CHINESE bill has
been drawn up by the California
delegation in Congress, and the
House committee on education and
labor has authorized its chairman
to report it to the House with a
recommendation for its passage.
The principal change i'll it from the
vetoed bill is the reduction of the
period for the suspension of Chinese
immigration from twenty to ten
year0 This, of course, is an i'm
pro, ment, but it does not make the
bill less un-American. inhumane OF
vicious. The California congress
men seem to believe the President
will approve the new bill, but it is
hoped he will not should the dema-
gogueS in Congress prove numerous
to pass it. An effort will be
made next Monday to pass the bill
through the House under a suspen-
sion of the rules.

REPUBLICAN MORALS.

For many years Ohio has been
biting off her nose to spite her face.
She was not so childish as to think
she could prohibit the liquor traffic,
but was so childish as to think it
wrong to regulate the business. Her
highly moral politicians and people
went upon the principle that if they
licensed or taxed rum-selling they
were morally guilty of supp orting or
at least of protecting a great crime
in encouraging intOxicatiOn. There
fore, lest they should be accused of
W rOng doing the piOus Buckeyes
have for long years refused to re-
cOgniZe the rum traffic, the argu-
ments being that its license would
be no more sinful and immoral on
the part of the state than the licens-
ing Of houses of prostitution. Last
winter, it appears, the legislature
had little of latter-day sense and
business ideas infused into it, and
the result was the passage ot the
Pond law imposing a tax Of $500
a year on each drinking saloon.
Contrary TO the claim of the party,
Is seems a good many Buckeye
brewers, distillers, whisky-drinkers
and rum-sellers are republicans. 1T
has been the boast OF tie party Ct
high moral ideas that champagne
was the beverage of republicans,
while the democratic DRINKS all re-
suited from such common stuff as
bourbon, rye and rum, with now
and then head-bursting debauch on
beer. The late municipal elections |
in Ohio proved the fallacy of the re-
publican claim, for the republican
makers and drinkers of distilled |
and malt liquors combined to defeat
their own party, which had pro-
vided the Pond law. Republican
were pretty nearly every
where reversed, and democratic
politicians increased. The cities
are now in the hands Of the demo
Gratis, whereas if the republicans had
really been drinkers of champagne,
the old condition of things would
have continued. But what is inter-
esting about the business is the fact
that some Of the very Legislators
who passed the law are already in
favor of its repeal. They see the
autumn elections coming on and
fear the great state will come over
to the side of the democratic enemy.
They prefer free or unlicensed
and the Offices, to taxed
saloons and the democrats in the
,at places. In other words, the re-
publican morality only goes with
he spoils. If party success depends
lpon a multitude of saloons and
nnumerable houses of prostitution,
he morals Of the republican will
permit him to indulge in them; if
axed whisky and licensed drinking
re necessary for the victory Of
,arty, then he is not adverse to en-
DlOying them for success.

THE SENATE has confirmed the
nomination of William E. Chandler
to be secretary of the navy. Chand-
ler's nomination is one Of the few
made by the President that reflects
nc credit upon him. Perhaps there
is wisdom in the selection, but it's
seldom wise to appoint political
rogue, & bribeT, or unscrupulous
schemer, to do honest work.

pretty head. "But OF course Captain
Drake, you must do rs you please"
"Yes, of course" he answered, alb
sently. and when he was gone, Flora
shed few quiet tears over the table
linen she was hSmming for Mrs. Awk-
right.
"How bold and unmaindenly it is OF
me-" she thought, "to let myself care
for a man who does not think twice OF
me If he had cared one iotG for me,
would he not have said SO thenS"
But the next evening, at dusk Captain
Drake sauntered in with that swinging
gait of his, as if ne were still treadmg
the deck of an outward bound vessel.
Don't run away, Flora, said he, as
the girl caught up her work, and pre-
pared for q precipitate retreat.
"Did-did you want to speak to naeF"
she faltered, with downcast eyes.
Don't I alUays want to speak to you.
Sit down, Flora" said he, "and hear
what I've been planning"
"Now it is coming" thought Flora,

TO be married, and he is coming to tell

the captain deter minsdly, "unless you'll

SLIPPING AWAY.

They are slipping away-those sweet, swift years
Like a leaf on the current cast,
With never break In their rapid now,
We watch them as one by one they 10
Into the beautiful past.
Az silent and swift aS weaver's thread
Or an arrows dying gleam;
AS soft as the languorous breezes hid,
That lift the willows long golden lid,
And ripple the classy stream.
As light as the breath Of the thistle down,
AS fond as q lovers dream;
As pure as the fluSh in the sea-shell's throat
As sweet as the wood-hird's wooing note,
So tender and sweet they seem.
One after another we then pass,
Down the dim lighted stair;
We hear the sound OF their steady tread
In steps OF the centuries long since dead,
AS beautiful and as fair.
There are only few years 10 come,
Shall we trample them under our ruthless feet
These beautiful blossoms rare and sweet,
BY the dusty way Of life7
There are only few swift years-ah, let
No envious taunts be heard;
Make life's fair pattern Of rare design,
And nll up the measure with loves sweet wine,
But never an angry word

The Tamar1nd.

This tree Is indigenous IN various parts
of Africa and Indla, and it grows wild in
several parts of the East Indian Islands.
1t is handsome tree, 80 to 80 feet in
height. Its COMPOUND leaves of ten TO
twenty pairs of small obiong leaflets form
a dense foliage. The dowers are white
when they first open, but soon turn yeI-
low. The fruit Is an indehiscent legume
or pod, 8 to 6 inches long, straight or
somewhat curved, and with hard. brittle
exterior shell. The seeds, from for to
twelve in number, are each surrounded
by tough, peppery membrane, outside
of which, between it and the shell, there
is firm, juicy acid pulp, traversed by
strong W Dody hbers, which start from the
fruit stalk. The rIpeness of the fruit is
known by the brlttleness Of the outside
shell.
In the West Indies its fruits is picked,
deprived of lts shell, and packed in casks,
and boiling sirup is poured over them un-
til the vessel Is full; when cool, the pack
age is headed up and is ready for market.
A better kind, rarely found in market,
is prepared by packing the shell fruit In
stone jars with alternate LAYERS OF sugar.
The pulp has brisk acid taste, modified
more or less by the amount of sugar used;
It contains tartaric, citric, and other acids,
and some principle not well ascertained,
which gives it laxative property. Tam
arinds are used in tropical countries to
prepare q refreshing drink by pouring
boiling water over the fruit. This drink
is also used as laxative and refngerant
in fevers. The wood is useful for timber,
and makes fine charcoal. The shell OF
The seed contains tannIn, and the kernels
are used as food in India In times OF
scarcity.

Sim Changlo, a Chinese laundryman in
st. Louis, Is something Of a genius. He
possesses a knowledge Of painting, clock
making, engineering, engraving, fancy
sewing, and is well up In the arts and
sciences, including chemistry and other
branches Of learning. At present Changlo
10 engaged In completing what he pleases
to term the "Werld's far" This curi-
osity consists of a miniature Chinese
house containing towers and verandss,
aud possessing other features peculiar to
Mongolian architecture. The structure
rests on table. 1t is about four feet high
and five feet long, and Its rooms are all
open on one side, in order that the spec
tator may see what is taking place within.
Directly in front of the house is q yard In
which two Cinnamon are represented as
playing Mongolian game, and two DINERS
IN the act of building brick wall. On
the steps two ladies are standing face 10
face, in the act of sauting each other.
Three Chinese la1les sit on the veranda
engaged in close conversation, while two
men on the vsranda directly over thei-
heads are leaning forward and endeavoring
to yerhear what they are saying. About
the building butterflies, that look as natu-
raj as life, are seen with wings outstretched
In the act of flying. This is what the OBJ
server Iinds on the exterior of the build
ing, but he becomes more deeply inter
ested when he Inspects the contents of the
apartments within. In one apartment he
sees an army of soldiers mouHted on horses,
in another a solemn procession of priests,
and In another lot Of wild animals, etc.
When the elockwork that operates this
vast establishment is wound Up and
started, the effect produced is decidedly
striking. The butterflies tremble on lnvis-
ible wires, and appear to be flying about
in the air; the mon ct the brick wall work
vigorously, the characters in front OF the
main entrance bow gracefully, with their
nands clasped before them, Chinese fashion;
the soldiers move around trisKly, the anil
mails run swiftly, and the women on the
veraLda over the main entrance vociferate
wildly. In fact, everything connected
with the establishment Is natural and life
like.
"How long did it take you, Mr.. Changlo,
to make that concern?"
.'Oh, it took me not longer than month.
| work very fast and can make such things
very quick. The house, you see, is com
posed of wood. All the trimmings are OF

tains. There are in the building and yard

London Names.

So far from Slough being a eorrup-
ton of "slow, the place, as might have
been expected, had a name long before
coach. or even q wagon, trundled
through its rutty street. AS far back as
1442 the village was called lice
Slowe, and the bricks with which Eton
College is built were made, according
to authentic documents still extant, at
"Slowe." Thus the local derivation Of
the name of this ancient hamlet, which,
at the first blush, could have deceived
no one, falls to the ground. Etymolo-
gy, indeed, is q dangerous pastime for
unpractised hands to play at. 1t some
times leads to awkward consequences.
At one time the railway authorities in
sisted on naming station not far from
Cambridge Darlington, though the
country folks in the immediate vicinity
knew the locality as Hockington. This,
however, was deemed a Cockneyism
until sceptical, antiquary discovered
that the. name was derived from the
family of Hooking, and that in reality
the rustics were right and the railway
wrong. Again, no belief has been
stronger than that a court of LHdgate
Hill was named in honor of Pocohontas
LA Belle Savage" Unhappily,
however, further research proves that
the spot has no association with the
beautiful daughter of Powhatan, EN-
perour of Virginia." but was the
quondam site of the "BeIl aud Savage"
public house.. If the world was to be
dominated by scholars of the Slough
type, Hampstead, instead of being a
corruption of the Saxon "hamstede,
or home place, would be named from
| somebody who once lived there, and
preferred pigs flesh to mutton. Again,

Hackney has nothing to do with coaches

ogist we'll read in old chronicles easy to
associate with one of the old lords OF
the soil, Osgod OIapa, the Dane, at
whose daughters marriage feast Hardi-
canute drank himself to death. But we
are at once silenced when we find that
in the Chertsey Register the place is
named Clappenham as far back as the
reign of Alfred. and that by the time
the Domesday Book was compiled the
name had become transformed into
Clcpeham. Piccadilly is limo way con
