New Life

New Life
is given by using BRowN's
IRON BITrERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it cnriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system In per-
feet condition. Browns
IRON BITTERs ensures per-
feet health through the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure
water and miasmatic air.
and it prevents Consump-
ton, Kidney and Liver Dis
ease, &c.

Predictions Verified.

Senator Jackson, of Tennessee, was
reminded not long since by IA friend who
was at the University of Virginia with
him of the curious veritication of predic-
tons made thirty years ago and more.
Jackson, Thomas Malone and Charles
+. Fennor occupied contiguous rooms
in the University Of Virginia. They
were fast friends, constant companions
and the foremost MEL in their class. A
brother student skctched the three in o
group one day. "What shall / put un-
der each figure ?" he said, when he had
completed the drawing. Put under
mine," said Jackson, jackson address,
ing the Senate of the United States. ;"
"And under minc," said Malone, "de-
iveling lecture to the students OF the
University Of Tennessee" "And under
yours, Fennor "Oh, Fennor an
nouncing decision from the Supreme
bench Of Lou siana." The inscriptions
were appended. Jackson is to-day in
the Senate of the United States, Malone
is at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee,
and Fennor is member Of the Supreme
Court Of Louisiana.

TIE population OF large cities
lind an enormous share of their
sustenance in manufactures. This is
made apparent by the census re-
turns of 1880. In Baltimore, for in
stance, 5000 persons were so en-
ployed that year; in Boston 56,8l3,
in Brooklyn 55,225, in Chicago, TO-
COL, in Cincinnati 52,l83, in New
York 2l7.877, and in Philadelphia
1882. 1t is no wonder that pop
ulation, trade and wealth seek such
vast hives of industry, for in them
are to be found opportunities, en-
ployment and occupation not to be
found elsewhere. We hope 10 see
the enterprise and capital OF our own
citizens directed into this channel
more in the future, until our terfi>
tory is numbered among the great
manufacturing States Of the Union.

THE SCALING LAW.

The operation Of the Govern
mcnt scaling law on Puget Sound
is certainly peculiar. Although the
intent of the statute is doubtless
good, still as it exists at present it
Is practically imperative, and moth
ing more nor less than an Must
burden OH the logger. 1t is to be
hoped that the arrest Of several par
ties recently for unlawfu)ly towing
logs before they had been scaled by
officer appointed by the Government
for that purpose, will have the eff
feet of definitely determining the
constitutionality Of the law, and re-
suit either in having the. same rig
idly enforced or at once andsforever
repealed. According to this law
the logger is compelled to pay the
inspector five cents per thousand feet
for scaling, which, at the end of the
year, amounts to quite considera-
BILE sum. The logs arc then allowed
10 be towed to EMIL, where they are
measured by the scaler employed by
the company, who refuse to accept
the government scaling. The re-
suit is, in most instances, a great
discrepancy in the two measure
ments, that of the mill COM
pany being generally less than the
government scale. The logger, hav-
ing his boom already at the mill,
has Of course no alternative but to
accept their measurement, and thus
LOSES the amount paid the governs
ment inspector. Many are anxious
to have the law abolished altogether
or else S, Q the mill companies forced
to comply with its provisions.
1t is urged on behalf of the latter
that the law is unjust and unconsti-
tutional, and that the Government
has no power to compel them to ac-
cept the measurement of its agent.
Why not, say the mill men, apply
the same arbitrary rule to other
kinds of business; provide a Gov
eminent weigher Of hops, wool, hay,
grain, etc.. and compel buyers to ac-
cept tie Government weight. 1t
would certainly appear to be as fair
in one case as in the other. AS the
matter stands at present there is
much dissatisfaction among:lumber.
men on the subject, and the result
of the suits how pending is looked
forward to with interest. What
ever may be the outcome, the legal
battle will assuredIy be fought to
the bitter end, as the several parties
defendant in the action are backed
by two Of the most powerful mill
corporations on Puget Sound, the
Port Blakely and Port Gamble com.
panics, who will spare no expense
to defeat the Government, and, if
possible, accomplish the repeal of
the obnoxious law.
