ready for fireing, were not aware that
Inc temperature had fallen during
the night, and awoke to find that
tnelr vines were injured and the hope
OF abundant vintage past, Mr.. McIn-
Tyre proposes to make the falling
temperature itself give notice of cons
ing danger. To do this a thermos-
tat OF the usual form, furnished with
novel appliances for easy, and accu~
rate adjustment 10 any desired de-
gree OF tempera ure, is placed in the
vineyard, on,or very near the ground,
ana iully exposed; from the thermos-
tat a wire is carried any distance to
an electric bell placed in the sleeps
ing apartment of the person in charge
and the whole suitably connected
with battery. When the tempera-
ture falls TO the degree for which the
thermostat has been adjusted, "cir>
cult" is completed by action Of the
instrument, and the bell is caused to
ring, giving the desired warning.
Inc ringing may be stopped instant
ly by means OF a switch" conveD-
lept'y located, to avoid annoying the
HOUSEHOLD. The apparatus is in use
near ingleuook Wine Cellar, IN the
vineyard OF Capt. Niebaum, at Ruth>
eriord.
The frost instrument is working
with perfect success, and can be set
to give the alarm when the mercury
falls to 36 deg, or any other point.
On one occasion Mr.. Mcintyre set it
by mistake at ~ deg, land it rang him
up quite unnecessarily. Mr.. McTn.
tyre will not have them manufac.
tured for sale or complete his patent
until he has SO simplted and per>
fected the parts that all ordinary la. i
borer can set it. This instrument,
which, with the connecting wires,
battery and bell, will not be expen-
siVe, will be Of immence value TO
vineyardists and Others. After this
season, in April or May, the owner
or foreman who is pro$i:eed- with
Mcintyre frost annunciator, can re
tire safely to rest, apd remain in bed
until his usual hour OF rising, with>
out any risk OF I'M ding that frost by
lnslduous steps has, reached his vines

'In the meantime" continues the Re
publican. "our people have the breaks
off, and as in all periods of wild specu-
lation are buying from abroad at a rate
exactly in inverse ratio to their ability in
the aggregate to pay. The imports of
merchandise for the last four months of
the year 1881, instead of being conform
ed to our reduced exports, increased to
nearly $27, 900, 900 in excess of what they
were the year before. Thus the country
during the closing months of the
last year went through the some
what trying ordeal of beng "whip
sawed" As we are nation
of gamblers in one form or another we
can hardly expect to escape this sort Of
punishment when fortune, the tickle
jade, withdraws her smile. The balance
of trade which flowed so strongly in our
favor for three years is now, in fact,
estimating cost of ocean carriage, insur-
ance, ETC., really against US. But for the
prevalence of a spirit of extavagance
bordering on profigacY it would not be
so. The moment the new crop is assured
the balance will probably turn in our
favor again. But upon this fact the con-
tinuance of the phenomenal prosperity of
the country depends"

A SOUTHERN DEFINITION OF BOUR
BONIsM. The Philadelphia Press is the
only Republican paper which has ever
had the caudor to admit that the term
Bourbon" as applied in politics, may
be misleading. 1t confines Its admis-
sions to Georgia. and argues that, in the
light of the industrial progress of that
State. it may at least be regarded with
indifference. 1t is just as true of other
States in the South. We have no obiec-
ton to the term if that or a correspond
ing term be applied to a similar condi-
ton of political thought in the Republi-
can party We have never been able to
see the difference between the fossils of
the Republican party and those in the
Democratic party, or between those in
the South and those in the North. There
are various shades of Bourbonism in both
parties, and if Bob Toomhs may be
taken as type of extreme BOurbonism
in the one, we suppose Wendell Phillips
may be fairly set against him on the
other side. Between these and the lib
eral element in their respective parties
may be found every grade of Bourbon
ism. AS a term applied to the Demo
cratic party, and used to describe an I'M
progressive and every way fossil ele-
ment, it is altogether meaningless. So
applied, it is a mere begging the ques-
ton and raises the issue at once whether
the principles of Democracy are fossil
and unprogressive. - Nashville Tenn. }

Since the recent fire in New York

Since the recent fire in New York it is
proposed to place cheap fire escapes on
all buildings, and it has been suggested
that they be arranged in the following
manner To stake firmly driven in the
wall over each window, rope or cord,
say three-eighths of an inch in size, and
long enough to reach to the ground, is
to be attached. This cord is to be well
made and pliable, and knotted at inter
walls of twelve or fifteen inches. 1t is
then to be rolled into coil or a ball, and
tied in place by a small cord OF strap,
ready at a moments notice to be united
and the end thrown out of the window.
Men, and even women. could descend
this rope with little difficulty; and the
stronger and cooler headed could tie it
around the bodies of the weaker and
quickly lower them to those ready to
receive them below.

Last Tuesday morning, as the van OF
the Criminal Court, of Washington, D.
c.. was on its way from the Jail with
some ten or twelve prisoners, a fight took
place between two Of them-John Jack
son and Edward Williams-both colored.
Although each had one hand attached to
another prisoner, yet with his free hand
he was doing his level best to spoil the
appearance Of the other. Jackson had
lent a ring to Williams, and that morn
ing asked for il. Williams surrendered
If. but struck Jackson, and they fought
from East Capitol street to B street,
where Perry Carson. the officer of the
van, and James Leonard, the driver, sue
ceeded in stopping the row by threaten
ing to shoot the eombatants. When the
fight was stopped one of the prisoners
said that as Guiteau had been allowed to
have his way. he did not see why they
could not have their way also.

The House Ways and Means Commit
tee have agreed to report Kasson's bill
for a tariff commission with certain
amendments, the principal of which is
by striking out the clause including an
investigation into the existing system Of
internal revenue laws, leaving to the
commission simply the tariff question.
Evidently the protectionists think they
can manage the taxes on whisky, tObac-
co, etc, themselves; but when it comes

TO call to their aid commission of ex-

Rerersal Of the BALANCE Of Trade.

Reversal Of the Balance Of Trade.
The Mossuri Republican thinks that
three causes have conspired to check the
shipments abroad of American products
agricultural products-for we export
nothing else scarcely except petroleum;
the drought and short crop, the unpar-
alleled speculation in grain, and the abili-
ty of Europe to do without our bread
stuffs. 1t reasons that the year 1881 started
off with the expectation of an astonish-
ing volume of products. The partial
failure of the American crop was
not suspected, and the European
crop had not yet relieved the
demand for grain. In January,
February, March and April the ex-
ports from the United States increased
500, 900, 900, as compared with the pre-
vious year; but, during the same period,
there was a great decrease in imports,
amounting to $43, 175, 900 as compared
with the same months in 1880. There
was thus relative gain to this country
in the state of trade as it affected the
balance of 500, 900. 900. But the season
in both hemispheres revealed a condition
of the crops and foreshadowed short
age here and an abundance there which
completely turned the scale, as is shown
by the following statistics of the exports
from the United States during the last
four months of 1881 as compared with
those of 1880:

Repeal of the Poll Tax in Virginia

The recent repeal of the poll tax in
Virginia, as prerequisite to voting, by
the Readjuster Legislature of that State,
is a piece of shameless demagogy en-
tirely worthy of MahOneism, committed
solely for the purpose of capturing the
negro vote Of the State. Not only is it
right that all citizens should contribute
in this way their mite towards the gene
raj support of State, but 1t is especially
just and proper that negroes who enjoy
all the rights.of citizenship, are protected
by the State, are allowed the privileges
of the public schools-to the mainlen-
ance of which the Virginia poll tax is
directly applied-and who vote to levy
taxes while, as rule, they pay none,
should be required to bear, at least, their
portion of the general burden. And there
is no way so effective for ensuring the
collection Of such tax as to make its
payment a condition precedent to the
exercise of the elective franchise
Commenting on this action of the Vir-
GINA regulators an exchange pertinent
ly remarks that such laws as that Just
repealed in Virginia exist in Massachu-
sets and other States with only shadow
of the reason for them that prevails in
the Old Dominion. The tax there went
into the school fund which the negroes
share equally with the whites. 1t was
almost the only way they could be in
duaed TO contribute something toward
the education of their own children, an
object which ought to have made the
measure acceptable to them. With the
great debt which weighs upon that State,
scarcely any legitimate method of taxa
ton can be wisely overlooked. But the
exigencies of the corrupt alliance of Re-
publicans and regulators, and not the
good of citizens and honor of the State,
are now to be first considered in Vir-
ginia.

''It's an i'll wind that blows no one

in Virginia was a piece Of fragrant dema-

fourths of the negro vote pOlled at the
last election was purchased outright by
the cOaliiOnists under the guise of pay
ment of this tax. 1t says: The origi.
nal intention of the law was to protect
