this but ten per cent. is produced in this

difficulty which would result to the SUI
ear planters of louisiana, might be
met by paying a bounty Of two and q
half cents per pound upon all home
produced sugar, which would amount
TO some four or five million dollars,
thus making a net saving of some forty
millions Of dollars to the people direct.

taken his calling. lie should have been

Trained to Work.

Mr.. Oliver Ames, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor elect of Massachusetts, although
now a nan of great wealth, was trained
to work, and did work for years in his
fathers shops, as a common journey
man shoyelmaker. The proficiency he
attained as a mechanic is shown BY the
fact that for several years he alone
made all the prize shovels and other
tools exhibited by the firm at fairs in
this and other countries. His example
is now being followed by his son, now
20 years old, who daily works at the
bench and anvil.

The business of selling Autographed
sermon for lazy ministers was formerly
confined to England and Scotland. Now.
however, the New York Sun discovers
that there is a house in Chicago
engaged in supplying this very peculiar
class OF literature. For half a dollar a
clergyman who is too INDECENT or too
Ignorant to prepare an original sermon
can procure a very respectable-looking
one, which, if placed on his pulpit and
e a to his congregation will lead them
to believe it is his own composition and
~penmanship. This is a bonanza to a
certain class of preachers, and will re-
lieve them of much of the drudpery
which makes pastoral labor irksome.
and causes early decay among the minis
try. Certain clergymen who have ac-
CURED a reputation for brilliancy have
done so by picking up the published
sermons OF eminent ministers. This is
attended with great risk, and is almost
sure to be followed by exposure, when
somebody who has happened to read
such sermons in print discovers what
the brilliant clergymen have been doing.
The business of supplying sermon man
uoOtlPeS ~ is q specially by
itself. The houses which do it do not
Autograph the ermon of famous d.
vines, but keep in their employ several
clergymen who write sermon to order
for the purpose. The English concerns
keep a large and well assorted variety of
sermons on hand, as they have to meet
all manner Of requirements, both as to
subjects and the way of treating them.
The apology Of those who furnish these
sermons is that the people who hear
them preached will have the advantage
OF listening to far better sermons than if
the preachers who use them had deliv-
cred dlscourses of their own m~anufao-
ture.

How Nilsson Travels.

Mime Christine Nilsson travels from
Place to place, to sing, in sumptuous
style, in the same excursion car that has
been used by Mary Anderson and Sarah
Bernhardt. The car is divided into
sleeping, eating, cooking, and drawing
room compartments. Nine. Nilsson's
boudoir is the smallest but most hand
some room, containing a piano and
many choice books and pictures. Some
times the prima donna plays and sings,
and sometimes watches the changing
scenery from the windows; but more Of
ten she plunges deep into a novel, or
studies stereoscopic views, to while
away the tedious hours of tlavel.

A Wise Suggestion.

The recommendation of President
Arthur, in his message, that Congress
consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of an amend
ment to the constitution granting the
President power TO veto such portions
of appropriation bills rs seem to him
wrong, strikes at the root of an evil
which both congress and public should,
each for their own interest, Join in eX-
tcrpating. Congress may through ical-
ouSy fail toact upon the suggestion, but
the failure viii certainly return to vex
them in the future as it has just done in
the past. But whatever may be the
action of congress the subject will at
tract the attention of all thoughtful
citizea-. Too often is the case, oftcncr
the rule than the exception, that meas
urcs Of thomsrlvcs trivial and oftcntimeS
pcrnicious are tackled IN to appropria-
tiou bills in the shape of riders and thus
passed. when if allowed TO stand on their
own merits they would have been sub
merged without hope of resurrection.
BY the adoption of the amendment to
the constitution proposed BY the prcsi-
dent this way Of securing the passage Of
obnoxious measures would be securely
blocked. by vetoing the vicious por-
tious Of tine bin the executive could
force them to stand on their " merits
and few members would have the au-
dacitv to call up II scheme thus singled
out. II such vetoed portions of a bill
should ea pissed ever the veto it would
give the constituents az the different
members a chance to deal with their
representative ON a tangible issue when
he was found voting in opposition to
their wishes.
Again, on the other hand. il would
relieve members Of the odium which is
now oftcrtimcS wrongfully attached to
their vote for an appropriation bill that
contains many measures Of national inn
portance combined with others, wrong
in themselves and dangerous to the
moral tone Of the nation. Such por-
tions would doubtless be instantly We
tocd by any conscientious executive and
members would then have a chance TO
set themselves right on the record and
before the public. Both congress and
the people can lily afford to have this
matter dropped. In Importance it
stands alongside the tariff revision aud
the election count. In response 10 an
invitation to furnish the readers Of TIN

customary promptitude. y rush Of
memories, however, proved too much
for the primary purpose of II old

Of his happiest veins, it win he readily

Mr.. Fox, the father of the orator.
Charles James Fox, trained his son from
childhood to share in the government of
England. This anecdote shows the
child's precocity
While the elder Fox was Secretary of
State he used to allow Charles to read
all his dispatches. One day, when the
boy was only ten years of age, the Sec
rotary brought home a paper which he
had very carefully written-an answer
to be sent to a foreign government, with
whom England had good cause to find
fault.
He gave the paper to Charles, and
asked him to read it. The lad did so.
"What do you think of it?" asked
the parent, earnestly, for he thought it
extremely good.
The boy shook his head. Then he
looked into his fathers face then he
Strengthened himself to his full height,
and shifting his little fist upon his swell
ing breast, he exclaimed
"Oh make it stronger make it
big make it-Euglish !"
Fox caught the inspiration from the
look, the tone, the words of his boy. He
threw the paper into the fire, and ther
sat down and wrote again, and produced
a paper which electrified the country.
