THE WAR OF 1885,"

The pamphlet entitled "The War
of 1886. between the United States
and Great Britain" lately issued in
London, is exciting much attention.
The interest which it has excited is
not by any means confined to army
and navy officers, but is generally
shared by public men. 1t is regarded
as the clearest presentation of our
inadequate border and seacoast de
fenses yet made by any of our writer's
or speakers. The fact that it pur
ports to be only a fancy sketch ap
pears to be lost sight of by those
persons who discuss it, so entirely
plausible and possible do all of it's
propositions appear. To most it
seems startling presentation of the
subject, and it seems certain to at
tain its evident object-namely, to
direct attention to the weak spots of
our system of national defense, or
rather. to our utter lack of effective
coast or border defense. 1t is ex-
ceedingly significant that the story
of supposed events is not regarded
as extravagant. either with respect to
possible future attacks upon our lake
cities or those of the seaboard.-

IRISH SKIRMIsHING FUND.

The Investigating Committee sub
mittcd a report at the meeting Of the
Irish Skirmishing Fund subscribers.
Alluding to the allegation made by
the skirmishers that the sum of Sill
had been charged against the fund
for telegram sent 10 Sir Vernon
Harcourt. when the said telegram
had cost only Sl4. the committee gave
Trustee John Dewey the benefit
of his personal statement that he
paid for the telegram out of his own
pocket, without retracting its pre-
vious allegation. however. The com
mittec then made various charges,
and asked Mr. Dewey to deny them
publicly if he could. 1t charged that
Trustee Carroll got $500 from the
fund without giving any considera-
ton therefor; that ex Trustee Luby
received $50 for doing nothing more
than to write paragraphs; that
Trustee BotTke got $50 for doing the
same thing, and that Trustee Dewey
received $1,000 for no consideration
at all The committee, after calling
attention to the fact that these
charges still remain to be explained y
offered to cease the investigation if the
Trustees would hand over the money
remaining in their hands to persons
"who will use 1t for the purposes fol
which it has been subscribed" The
language of the report following this
proposition is: I'VE will make lie
inquiries as to what WAS done with
the missing portion of the fund, but
will cease right of. We
ask these Trustees to set this investi
CATION at rest. They are not asked
for anything which belongs to them
selves, nor are they expected to make
public single transaction of then

clusion, warned the Trustees that i

A Naples correspondent makes
some interesting comments on this
text, that Southern Italy has never
experienced such socialistic rancor as
is common in France. The reasons
are adduced: /. There is q greater
scattering of manufacturing and
other mechanical labor throughout
the country, and there are no polit-
ical inducements for bitter radicalism.
The press is entirely free. schools
are multiplying and education diff
fusing, suffrage is widely extended
and emigration easy. There is de-
votion to royalty-not an abstraction
but real animating principle-and
the King and the community alike
see foe in the clerical party. The
crown is so little antagonized that not

Swans SKIN AND ENGLISH COMPLEX
IoNs.-An English statistician says
that no less than 1000 swans skins
are annually imported into London
alone for the exclusive manufacture
of .'puffs" used for the purpose of
laying powder on the face. Every
swans skin makes about sixty puffs,
which would make an annual con-
sumption of 100000 puffs. Is, then.
the natural whiteness of the English
skin myth The same English sta
tistician says that tons of rice and
wheat powder are consumed annu-
ally in England, and he regrets the
waste of so much rice and wheat,
which might be better used to feed
the starving.

A MIND, knowing itself, and its own
proper powers and virtues, becomes
free and independent. It sees its
hindrances and distractions, and
finds they are wholly from itself. and
from opinions wrongly conceived.
The more it conguers in this respect,
the more it is its own master, feels its
own natural liberty, and congratu
lates itself on it's own advancement
and prosperity.
