st. Valentine,

With the advent of coarse carcatures, the
medium of insults and innuendoes, Valentines
Day fell into diSrepute, but the card mania has
restored it to something of its former estate, and
it has even become. in a sense. a rival of Christ
mas. naSmuch as ii is made the occasion for
exchanging handsome gifts which under other
circumstances could not be permits sablc. Origi-
nally it was lovers day, and still, as Of yore.
Cupid'S mi>siveS crowd the mails and delight
the females, though not to the exclusion of of
ferings of friendship and remembrance. The
Valentines offered purchasers this year are GER
tainly an advance upon any heretofore display

paper, as we'll as the Herald, comments the lee
ancc in a body Of some fifty or sixty Harvard
students who Were got up for the OCCASION
and who marched in procession to the front
seats they had secured. The students wore
dress coats, knee hrcccheS. silk stockings and
long-tocd shoes several had on blonde wigs
shaped in the aesthetic STYLE and all had rolling
collars with large satin ties in various colorS.
Their decorations were mostly in the form OF
sunilnWrrS, and these Were placed upon the
shoes, cuffs, and lappcs Of the coat. IN his
hand each student carried a lily or a srnhower

for proper carriage would permit They did
not diScompo~e the lecturer and were among
his most attentive listeners
That Mr.. Wilde has been interviewed at every
stopping place On his lecture tour almost rocs
without the saying. The American reporter is
ubiquitous and irrepreSsbe; anC-the lecturer

has been complimentary in his opinions. He

OF Mr. Wilde'S poems the American reading

A Ru,Ine.s NAM. Views.

WASHINGTON, July lO.-Joseph D. Weeks,
Secretary OF the Iron and Steel Association,
OF Pittsburgh, Is in the city. Mr.. Weeks
does not think that the proposed reduc.
ton on the rate Of duty on Bessemer rails
Will be Of benefit either to the public or
the trade. In conversation to-day Mr..
Weeks said:
u am afraid that the gentlemen who are
giving their approval to the proposition TO
reluce the duty on steel rlils do not e1.
actly apprehend the consequences OF their
action. The caucus has decided to reduce
the duty eight dollars per ton. Possibly
the price Of rails will thereby be reduced
tye dollars per ton. making the price Of a
ton oil rails about iorty.fve aollars. In order
70 make any profit there must be re-
ductlon In the price Of pig iron. The
manufacturers must 20 abroad 10 buy their
pig iron. Pig iron can't he made at any
lower price than il is now sold, unless the
price OF ore is reduced, and manufacturers
made their contracts for ore for the year
last winter. A reduction in price OF iron
rails must inevitably follow the reduction
in price OF steel nails, iron rails can not be
made at profit TO be sold at thirty.eIght or
iorty dollars per ton. Hence ii logically
follows that makers Of iron rails must either
close their mills or begin making bar or
merchant iron. They have not the plant
to make steel blooms for rails, and Il
would take them long time to
put in new plants. II the iron

Gus trouble ahead for our people. Neither
the Knit goods nor hoop-iron men are in
any sense responsible for the reduction OF
duty on steel rails and / think all OF US
deprecate it, but the kni, goods bill could

hoop.iron amendment, and while the in.

WASHINGTON, July lO.-The report OF
Secretary Folger upon the spurious charac.

eflectual quietus upon a conspiracy OF de-
tectives which has several branches, and
which, in one or another OF its forms, hes
been in active progress for years. The
Doyle plate is only one OF its later forms.
1t has been one OF the standing jobs OF
noted detectives to find genuine plates or
reproduction from genuine plates, from
which it was claimed immense sums OF
Government securities had been put sfloa,.
The object in this branch OF the busi-
ness was 10 obtain reward
from the Government. The pre-
