CARLYLE AND AMERICA.

FRoUDE's PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION of
HIS LIFE OF CARLYLE.
In submitting to the American people my history
of the carly life of Thomas Carlyle attach an ex-
tract from Carlyle's diary, which will be read
among them with pleasure and perhaps with PRIDE
eth February, 1889.
Yesterday came n letter from Emerson, AT Concord
New England, enclosing me draft for 4lO0 lne pro,
duce OF my French Revolution there Already zoo had
come: this $50 in all not farthng having yet Deen
realized here by English bib1opoy. III IS very
strange this American occurrence, very gratifying
nothing has occurred III the history OF my eco
nonics Thanks the kind friends across the salt waters
youder. - -. -
This American cash is welcome because | am so
poor Had been rich could not have had that true
pleasure. Sic dc muits | must Own II, bitterly a. !
often grumbe over my poverty. ON the whole sha,l
rejoice 10 have been poor if in my old days Dc not sill
prosecuted and dogged by the spectre of absolute
poverty"
The swift recognition which Carlyle obtained
from America perhaps alone enabled him to go on
with his work at the most critical period of his
career

over the eighth and of the tenth over the ninth,
and the solid breast of ore eghtyiiyc feet wide and

the eleventh level will be the strongest and best

A NOVEL RIDE.
A Dangerous Trip on a Rafs Down
n Forty Mile FIume.
Chicago Record. Aun,lst 9

Chtcu9O record, AUGUST 3.
Ed FalcOner, formerly railroad station
agent at Durham, now working in the
mills at Smoky Flat, came to Chico
yesterday in the hume. He started from
the mountains about z o'clock in the
morning, when the atmosphere was cold
and crisp, with nearly everything COW
cred with frost, making one wish for an
overcoat He mounted q raft and showed
off, and did not stop until he had reached
a warm and sunny station along the wa
terry ride. Travelling in the fume is
dangerous but exciting sport. One is
sometimes gliding smoothly along on
level water, and then is suddenly dashed
forward on down grade at an almost
lightning speed, with the boat or raft at
a seeming angle of 40 degrees. Along
the fumes, through the canyons and over
gorges can be seen some of the most pic
turesque scenery of the Sierras, which
would make the heart of a true artist
leap with Joy. Very few accidents have
ever occurred on the Sierra Lumber Com.
panY's flume, but if there should be
break at some of the high places, per-
son riding along would suddenly be
dashed into kingdom come" Riding
down the flume has striking similarity
to sliding down hill on a sled-it is fun
to shoot downward with a tremendous
velocity, but difficult to ascend. The
boat that was once made by one of our
citizens, whereby person could ride up
the flume, has doubtless proved failure,
as we never hear any more of it. 1t was
the hope of the inventor to have his craft
ascend the flume by the aid of the water
passing against paddles like those of
river boat. Large quantities of lumber
are now being t1oated from the noun
tains daily, and person riding in the
fume encounters great danger of being
run into by floating timbers. Men
are employed to watch and work
along the 1ume the same as
workmen on>a railroad. Their duty is
to keep the passage way clear and break
up lumber collisions. They have sec.
tions to work, and can always be seen
moving along the sidewalk on the flume.
Very few persons are allowed in the
tiume, and it is only by hard efforts that
the mill hands can get permission to
make the trip to Chico. Boxes of trout
are sent down by the tourists to their
friends in the valley. and a few years
ago this wonderful forty mile length of
t1ume was used as a sort of message car
rier in bringing down orders for supplies
and calls for physicians, the messages
being written on board, or nailed up
in small box. But now, since we are
connected with the mountains by tele-
phone, the custom of message sending by
water has ''gOne up the f1ume."

The New York Comm erciaL Bulletin
thinks that the Long Branch Tariff Com
mission is having at least one desirable
effect, and that is, the exposure of some
of the multitudinous incongruities and
inconsistencies of the existing tariff. On
this point, it says, the statements of APP
praiser Sturges, of the New York Gus
tom house, must have been matter of
curious interest for the Commissioners
themselves He showed, for instance,
that peas and beans are taxed as provis-
ions, and we're also taxed as seeds; and
olive oil, when salad, is taxed at one
rate, and when not salad at another.
Again, he urged that the duty on olive
oil should be lowered, because nine
tenths of the olive oil consumed here
was simply cotton-seed oil. On starch,
there is one rate of duty when it is made
of corn and another rate when it is made
from rice. So of the duties on fruits.
An equally preposteFOus distinction be-
tween plums and prunes was pointed
out, the one paying p cents a pound
aud the other l cent. GA prune," the
Commissioners were informed by the
Appraiser, "was oEly grated plum"
a piece of natural history which doubt
less astonished statesmen in pursuit of
information, as Immediately afterwards
the Commission adjourned.

the Radical family in New York have
necessarily soiled a great deal of linen
since the last washing, and as this is an
off year they are embracing their oppor-
tunity to have it aired. Governor Cor
nell openly charges in the Albany Ecen-
ing Journal that Mr.. Conkling attempted
to bribe him in behalf of Mr.. Jay Gould
in the matter of signing two bills-one
for the relief of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, and the other af-
feeling the interests of the elevated rail
ways. OF course, the Governor took
high moral ground and was proof
against temptation, though the trevity
of his last veto showed how long he
wrestled with the tempter. Mr.. Conk
ling is indignant at this move of a man
whose fortunes he made. He pointedly
remarks that he would hardly have ap-
preached Cornell had he not known
his man. On the other hand Cornell's
assertions admit his approachability, and
the question narrows down to Conkling's
capability of the conduct charged upon
him. We have always regarded Conk-
ling as Lot, as it were, in the Sodom
of Radicalism, and would be 10th to
believe that he, too, is smirched with
the common pitch. It's lovely fight as
it stands. but we will go little on My
Lord Roscoe.

OF Mr.. Singleton, who is to run as an
independent candidate for Congress in
the Twelfth Illinois district, this story
is told. A well known Pennsylvania
member, who was YainlY struggling to
get a new public building voted for his
own district, and knowing that Single
tor had somehow got an appropriation
through without attracting attention,
asked him how he ever managed to do
it, "Well, you see, said Mr.. Singleton,
''you have to look sharp, but it can be
done. The morning is the time-just
after the reading of the minutes. There
is little lull then. Members are getting
seated and not attending to business, and
those fellows who object to everything
are absent at their committee meetings.
Let the Speaker know you want to be
recognized; get right before the desk,
and then is your chance. Your bill is
taken up and passed by unanimous con-
sent before you can say Jack Robinson.
You NAV have to be on hand a good
many mornings before you get good
chance. but it will come. That is the
way / got my public building for quincy,
and if you watch sharp you can get yours
too"

Another difference has arisen between
the Porte and Lord Dufferin. England
wants Turkish mules for service in
Egypt. The Sultan declares that she
can't have them. Lord Dufferin replies
that England will hold him responsible
for damages. Damages may be a good
thing hereafter, but what she wants now
is mules. Why bother the Sultan
when the Georgia mule can be
had in abundance for the cash?
He may not be as serviceable for wonted
purposes as his brother of Turkey, but
when it comes to close quarters his
merits would need no advertising. If
he failed to box the compass with his
heels he would belle his record. In fact
he might set up for an automatic Cat
ling gun with decided chances of success.

The Mississippi valley and the Fever.


Notwithstanding the outbreak of yell
low fever on the Texas border the peo-
pie of the Mississippi valley seem to
have no fear of Visitation in that sec.
ton, and it is stated that the sanitary
rules at New Orleans are so thorough
and rigidly enforced that the introduc-
ton of an epidemic disease there is well
nigh impossible. Only two or three spo.
radio cases have occurred, and the
Board of Health of the city not only
keep it in a remarkably good sanitary
condition. but are exercising strict watch
fulness to maintain the present healthful
condition until after the coming month
has passed, when all possible danger will
be over.
1t is mentioned further on this subject
in the columns of the Louisville Courier
Journal that a most rigid quarantine is
maintained on the Mississippi seventy
five miles below New Orleans, and on
the Rigolettes and on the Atchafalays
river, and the portion of the city where
the two deaths from yellow fever have
occurred has been scientifically disin-
fected with lime, carbolic acid and cop
peras. The President of the Louisiana
State Board of Health, DR.. Jones, states
tn at it is too late in the season for an
epidemic, and the weather continues so
cool that there need be no apprehensions.
The probability is that the fever will not
extend from the lower Rio Grande towns,
as those communities have been isolated.
Every plecaution is being taken to pre-
vent any spread of the dread disease,
and it looks now as if these efforts will
be successful.
