Maine, at a cost say of SO apiece. If the
foreign product were raised to that

whole tariff, SO far as it is protective and
as the protection is not downright and
avowed swindle, that it is a system of
granting bounties for growing oranges ia
Maine; that ia to say, for creating indus
tries which do not naturally thrive, and for
diverting labor to them from industries
which do naturally thrive, at the expense
and to the direct loss of the people who
are taxed to make up the loss in these liv-
ing industries. The tariff commission is
opening the eyes of the people of the coun-
try, though its own eyes seem to be tight
ly sealed.

HON. JOHN HANCOCK AND THE Tariff
FIGHT.
dallas Herald

It seems that Judge John Hancock,
democratic nominee for congress from the
Tenth district, is not pleasing all democra-
tic auditors. There are great many wool
growers in that section of the state, and
their heads have gone ool-gathering in
the shade Of tariff sophism that upset. Mr..
Dan Voorhees, some time since. and who
afterwards tried to slide out of his faux-pas
on the rail OF that impossible quality
known as a tariff for revenue with in
cidental protection" as If there could be
such thing. It is true these sheep-raisers
have some ground for argument in demand
ing tariff on foreign woods, since if the
wooden manufacturer has such protection
they, too, should have it. II one set of
people are allowed to rob, another set
should also be. 1t would be difficult for
anyone to detect the falsitt of this logic,
the premise admitted the conclusion must
follow. IL the manufacturers have pur-
chased the right TO pluck the people. why
should not the producers of the raw ma
terial they use have the same permission7
The trouble is the whole system 10 vicious,
unjust and disgraceful In this enlightened
age and supposed free country of
equitable laws. The question has
resolved itself into one of Hobbies,
of influence, of bribery direct or indirect,
The wooden manufacturers, for example,
have to pay considerable duty on foreign
woods, high duty on foreign machinery,

CROWD OF TARIFF BEeaARs.
From the New York World, II.

Even the tariff commission has not heard
before such an incessant clamor of beggary
as it heard yesterday. A more shameless
and disgusting exhibition of greed was
never made anywhere. The fact that a
tariff is supposed to be drawn in order to
raise revenue for the government was dis
regarded by everybody as entirely
irrelevant to the real question how much
the beggars should be allowed to swindle
their fellow-citizens. Neither the beggars
nor the commissioners referred to the pre-
text upon which the swindle is carried on
on-exeept only Mr.. MacMahon, who is al
together too good for his company. who
has shown that his intelligence is suscept-
ible of insult and is daily insulted, and
whose independence and intelligence
are SO marked by contrast with his
fellow commissioners that the public
is beginning to look with some
confidence for q minority report which
shall bear the signature of Mr.. McMahon,
If it bears no other. Such report is
scarcely desirable IN the interest of the
public, which must be very stupid if it
does not already see that the commission
is simply the tool of the gang of public
plunderers in whose interest the tariff is
drawn, but it is desirable in the interest of
MIR. McMahon's own reputation. Mr.. Por
ter Is possibly too Intelligent not to agree
with Mr. Mcmahon; but the public ceased
to expect anything of Mr.. Porter since he
has consented, for the sake of his per diem
and travelling expenses. to remain MEM
Der of commission which he had de-,
nounced as fraud" and against which
he had threatened minority report. A
stomach which was not turned by the
arguments" yesterday must have
been very strong indeed, but all of
the commissioners, with the single ex-
ception of Mr.. Mcmahon, came through
the ordeal in triumph. The manufactur-
ing potters of Trenton demanded that
as high duties should be put upon pottery
as upon the product of any other indus
try, IN order to enable them to keep up
the rate of wages, while the operative pot
tiers of Trenton have had the sense to see
and the courage to say that the duty has
nothing whatever TO do with the rate of
wages, which is a fixed condition of the
business, and that they do not wish to be
protected" A maker of wool hats ap
peared before the committee to make the
significant remark that if he had free wool
he would be willing to see the duty on his
product disappear. Painful as it must be
to Mr.. Hayes, that 10 the truth, to an ap-
probation of which the country is very
rapidly coming. What the duty on

LET Us ALL BE GYPSIES.

Which is the way from the crowded city
To the land of shadow and hope and peace,
Where women can love and men can pity
And tears from sorrOwing eyes may cease"
For the tong town is harsh and hollow,
And Hate points eastward, Envy west;
Though many may fail, yet some will follow
To home of dreams and the haven of rest,
For the love of heaven, stretch forth your hand
And point the way to Bohemias land.
Where are the fields and their emerald cover,
The wayside flowers and their travelling cart,
The new found love and the lOng-t lover?
They are better by far than our feverish art,
We sick unto death of Jealousy's fetter,
The secret pain, the ceaseless strife;
There's triumph in fame, but freedom 5 better;
so give taste of a wandering life,
The senses sicken as fancys hand
Paints endless love in Bohemia 9 land.
Bohemia ways are strewn with flowers,
Her children free from the revel Of wine:
Her dust is Stacked by the sweetened showers,
Meath covering trees they halt and dine.
When care creepS close, when away they wande
To seek whatsoever the mind loves best;
For hope endures when the heart yonder
A brighter life and a surer rest,
How many despse, but how few Withstand
The ccaseless joys of Bohemia's land!
TO the fields away! for nature presses
On toiling foreheadS balmy kiss;
There's nothing SO sweet as her soft caresses,
Nor love more full to the lips than this,
God grant my brothers, when all is over,
And holiday hours cut short by fate,
That the sense of flowers and scent OF clover
May soften sorrow and silence hate.
Old Time soon measures the fatal sand,
And the curtain falls on Bohemia's land.

Lewis ANGEL, Sanitary Inspector of West
Hum, in Essex, an outlying district of Lon
don, says, in illustration of the prevalence
of sanitary defects even in the best houses.
and of the need of thorough inspection, that
in the civic palaces of the Lord Mayor OF
London, 'three-quarters of an inch of float
ing fungi scurf was recently found on the
surface, and three-eights of an inch of mud
at the bottom of the cistern, while bottle
of water on bis lordships table contained
hundreds of nematoid worms" Offensive
mud and animal organisms were also found
i'm the cistern of the Athenaum Club, St
James. We habitually defy disease when
we leave the doors of our closets open and
the window shut. The reverse ought to be
the practice. He believes that sanitary
science should be put on a par with literary
and mathematical studies in the schools, and
that pnblic and official inspection should be
provided for everywhere, the expense in the
care of new buildings to be met by fees
charged upon the owners and builders, who
expect to derive profit from them He
commends what has been done in Chicago
in the official inspection of tenements, and
the official supervision of plumbing that has
recently been adopted in New York.

FASHIONABLE FLOOR GOVERN
Some Very Handsome Patterns in Car
pets-- Mating for the Bedroom.
Y Letter in Cincinnati Ennuirer

\. y. Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Carpets now show improvement in styles
and patterns. Small figures are in demand
and, in fact, large ones cannot be found in
the stores where ancient stock is not kept.
There was a time when room of the ordi-
nary fiat size wouldn't show single figure
complete. In some of the patterns now
shown small designs are crowded together IN
wonderful harmony of color and device.
Many treasured old tapestry has less art
than the ordinary carpeting OF the present
day Some are veritable pictures that can
be studied for hours without growing famil-
lar. Some of the favorite designs represent
ferns leaves, branches and foliage in SYM
metrical ENHANCEMENT. Borders are still
used, and often are wholly different from
the body, though harmonizing with it. A
feature of our carpet stores just now is the
display of Oriental mattings. Not only are
they bought to put down in summer resi-
dences, but they are coming into use in
chambers Of city houses.
A bedroom provided with white china
mating with half breadth of colored check
for a border and Turkish rug in the center
is quite correct. Another thing for the CEN
ter of a sleeping room, if the sleeper be an
unmarried woman, is small bed. This is
bran new affectation A brass bedstead, n
trife larger than the woman, and not much
wider than her greatest breadth, is placed in
the middle of the apartment and furnished
with the daintiest possible bed clothes; but
everything about the affair mustbe perfectly
plain, the desire being to suggest the utmost
simplicity on the part of the maiden. Some
times cot is used, and, if the occupant be q
she selects structure of frail
design, so as to prove how airy and fairy
she is.

Refreshing Drinks.

In Spain. where the sun is hot, the prep
aration of cooling drinks is reduced to an
exact science. On the Prado in Madrid,
which now extends for miles, there are I'M
der the trees, one may almost say at dis
tances from each other not greater than Hfty
feet, stalls for the sale of lemonade, ice cream,
orange ice, and drinks unknown to Amerl-
cans, but all refreshingly cheap The Span
ish national drink, the traveller say, is sugar
ed water. The dealer sells the ice water
cold and furnishes along with it a peculiarly
prepared sugar, which dissolves the instant
II touches the fluid. This beverage costs
cents @ glass, and the average citizen does
not hesitate to sit down with it before him
and wait for the procession ON the fashion
able boulevard to pass. If he has another
cent or two he buys some lemon juice 10
add to his drink II he is still more ex-
trayagant he pays cents for delicious
sherbet. The Prado is literally lined with
thousands OF chairs, and the gayety OF an
evening is one of the most delightful specsa-
c,es OF the Spanish capital. There are also
in Madrid large, airy and elegant conee
houses. where every kind of refreshing, but
no spurious drink may be had.

4 Modern Arcardia.
London News.

According to a paper lately communicated
to the French Geographical Society by DIR.
LIE Bon, there exists high up among the Car
pathian Mountains of Galicia, in district
known as Tatras, one of the most primitive
and unsophisticated communities in Europe.
/ The population of this remote region num-
bers several thousand individuals. They
neither use strong drink or eat animal food.
Riches have no charms for them. Though
poor they are content, and though their diet
is spare and monotonous, they enjoy perfect
health and live long lives. The food OF these
Arcadians is principally oats, either simply
boiled or ground and converted into cakes.
During four or five months of the year those
of them who accompany their tiocks and
herds to the mountain pastures live eX-
clusively on goats milk whey, of which each
man consumes from three three to four
liters daily. Practically, therefore, these
goat herds live on the sugar and mineral
salts contained in the whey. They do not
consider this regimen a privatiOn, and, says
DIR. lie Bon, who has been among them,
when they return to the valleys at the end
of the season they are as strong and as Wig
orous as when they set out. The entire race
of Podhalians as the people OF Tatras call
themselves) are remarkable for their vigor

Italians are easy and tranquil, not because
of the abundance of their resources for they

but because their needs are few, and they are
free from the craving for stimulants, which
is the curse of working people in other parts
of Europe. Their physique is OF remark

sion and frank in manner. Though far from
being highly cultured, the Podhalians are
poets and artists by nature. They are fond
of dancing, and often when the labors of the
day are over, meet to indulge in their favor
ite diversion. They are born improvisatores,
too and many of them can sing their own
songs set to music of their own composition.
Their poetry, says DR.. LIE Bon, is tender and
artless in sentiment, generous and elevated
in styIe-qualities which he attributes to the
wealth of spontaneous resources" possessed
by natures that know neither violent pas
sions nor unnatural excitements.

Shortly after the breaking out of the
French revolution, its adv coates denounced
our Premier as IAN enemy to the human
race"-that man, 80 easy to live with' who
sung the song about himself, called, Billy
Pitt, the Tory" His secretary one day told
him that foreigner who spoke English tol-
erably well, had twice or thrice asked to see
him, but not looking like proper applicant,
had been sent away, the great mans time be-
ing too precious for him to admit every
stranger who, ON frivolous pretexts, might
seek to crafty an idle curiosity. This per-
son, however, had said he should return in
an hour the secretary, therefore, thought il
his duty to inform Mr.. Pitt of such inten-
ton, and asked his further orders in the af-
| fair.
| Have the goodness said the Minister ito

net, and bring me it's contents"
These were pair of pistols and a morocco
case; opening the latter he produced snuff
box in which was set q portrait.

tary.
"Ha, | have expected him for some days
he is sent over to assassinate me- so, when
he calls again let him be shown up"
Sir. !" exclaimed the attached retainer
"will you expose to danger your life on which
SO much depends?'
There will be no danger, l thank you
but you may ne within call, if you please.
Accordingly the Frenchman, on his return,
was ushered into the room where William
Pitt sat alone-a loaded pistol in one hand,
the miniature in the other.
Monsieur Mehee de La Touche,' said Pitt,
calmly, you see am in every way prepared
for you, thanks to an agent employed by
this government. Attempt my life and your
own instantly pays the forfeit. In any case,
| shall have you secured and given over to
the law"
The intended assassin stood paralyzed and
dumb at this cool reception.
But continued Pitt, there is another al
ternative-personal safety and high rewards
are in your power. Sell your services to

ever secret information you can procure that

tions and you shall be as literally paid as

The clever miscreant joyfully accepted
these terms, and for many years earned the
bribes OF spy.

A True Dog Story.
Rochester n. " Union.


The animal in this case is owned by a
party residing within few rods of this office
and the facts come directly from the family.
The dog is white terrier, of a most affec-
tionate disposition, and when she meets with
any stranger to whom she takes fancy she
will 20 to him, sit up on her hind legs and
reach out her fore paws for recognition. A
day or two since boy called at the side door
to beg for something to eat. The dog trotted
to the door with the servant, who told the
beggar that she had nothing. "Give me only
piece of bread said the boy. The girl
answered that they were out of bread, and
that she was baking at that time. Meantime
the dog was momentarily missed, but quickly
returned, bearing in his mouth a large piece
of bread that had been previously thrown to
her to eat She went directly up to the boy,
extended her paws, with the bread in her
mouth, and offered it to him as intelligently
as any mute being could do. The girl was
actually frightened at this remarkable exhl-
btion of intelligence on the part of dumb

The Science of Dreaming.

A somewhat eccentric French sayant, NJ
Delaunay, has been investigating the sub
ject OF dreams, and fancies that he has laid
the foundations of science of dreaming. He
finds that he can control the character of his
dreams by stimulating certain portions OF
the brain by means of heat. For instance,
by covering his forehead with. a layer OF
wadding he obtains sane, intelligent dreams;
but he also finds that the position of the
body is an important factor. Thus he finds
lying on the back productive of sensorial
luxurious dreams, while those experienced
while lying on the right side-the most easy
and natural position-are full of exaggera-
tion, absurd, and refer to old matters. On
the contrary, those experiences when lying
on the left side are intelligent and reasona-
BILE, and relate to recent matters. These lat
ter are the dreams in which one often speaks.
NJ. Delaunay's investigations have thus far
been purely suggestive If he should go
further and found school of dreamers it
would not be the only one in existence
