NIAGARA Park,

At length it seems as if Niagara is to
be rescued from factories and other dis
agreements. 1t is to the credit of the
Canadian government that it has not
permitted unsightly buildings and work
shops to obstruct the view of the great
falls. But. so far, this State has taken
no steps to save the American side from
the proclamation of flour mills, factories.
and sight shows The New York Leg
islature, however, has taken measure to
clear away all disfgurements, and to
permit this wonder of the world to be
seen in all its splendor. All Americans
should at least once in the course of
their lives pay a visit to Niagara. The
Victoria Falls in Central Africa are said
to be even more stupendous, but they
have meyer been seen save by two white
men. When aerial travel is perfected,
1t may be possible to visit Central Afri-
ca, but until that time comes we must
be satisfied with viewing the great wa
terfall of our own country.-Demorest' $

The st. Louis Republican speaking OF
the appointment of Judge Gresham. OF
Indiana, to succeed Timothy o. Howe,
deceased. as postmaster general says tina
the selection OF Indiana for this honor
strengthens the view that Mr. Arthur is
man9uvering for the republican nomina
ton for the presidency. The selection
of a candidate who can carry Indiana ha.
been a party necessity with the republi
cans as with the democrats. By snch
strokes of policy as this Mr. Arthur may
hope to make himself SO solid IN that
pivotal state to greatly enhan-e his
chances of nomination. 1t was through
the influence of the pOstoffice depart
ment that Indiana was carried for Gar
field and it may be thought that the same
influence may carry it again. The APP
pointment of a man not before spoken of
aud taking him from Indiana is not with
out political meaning. Indiana, for a
state that has received so much consider
alton from the republican party in "a pecu
MARY point of view, has been particularly
fortunate in the way of rewards for its
public men. There was Window, from
Minnesota chat resigned the treasurer
ship in expectation OF occupying his new
house in Washington as a senatorD who
was directly in the line of being cared for
in the cabinet; and there were many
others of like martyrdom; but all had to
give way To the question of political ne
cessity. Indiana, too, has always had a
weather eye on the postoffice department..
1t was thence that Brady came. Tper
was an fndianan. From the days OF
Morton the Hoosier state has been nicely
taken care of.

VALUE OF SKINNED MILK.

The New York Herald reports that
recent investigations by the German
chemists Rtthausen and s. KONG have
| led to important conclusions They are
| to the effect that the nutritive value of
skinned milk is much higher than is gen
orally supposed According to these
authorities, the price paid for the aibu-
minoids in skinned milk is lower than
that paid for them IN any of the ordinary
foods in the market, excepting stock fish.
The former chemist states that about two
quarts of this milk contain as much nitro
geneous matter as a pound of meat, and
the latter that given number of muir tive
units of the milk cost about "A per cent.
less than pork and still less than butter,
While further experiments may some
what modify these conclusions, they are
sufficiently accurate to show that the
popular prejudice against SKINNED milk
is unfounded, provided the article is una
dulterated 1t is known that the proper
ton of fatty matter in unskimmed milk
is not more than A per cent, and while
this ingredient may he very necessary to
make the milk suitable for the use of
children and anernic persons there are
large classes of milk consumers who can
do as we'll or better without it, The
great difficulty with skinned milk is that
of getting it pure and undiluied. But
the same may be said of ilnskihilned
milk.
If, however, the city authorities took
proper precautions to prevent the sale of
both when diluted and adulterated, the
cheaper article might be safely employed
on large scale for purposes for which
the unskimmed article is now used
Were this done, and creamless milk more
generally used, very considerable econ
omy could be effected by consumers, the
amount of cream left for the creameries
would be so much increased that We
might hope for cheaper butter and with
the reduced demand in cities for unskim-
med milk the public would not have to
pay 10 cents a quart for it.

The injuries which Don Cameron Is
suffering from, and for which he has lust
undergone surgical operation, were re-
ceived, according to the Bloomington
Pdn&agraph, in Rock Island. In 1877
when Senator Cullom was running for
governor. Cameron came west, and with
Cullom went to Rock Island. They were
taken over on the Island, Swhere the gov
eminent has an arsenal The grounds
are very elaborate, and while they were
being taken over there in carriage by
Colonel Flagler, the commandant, the
team took fright, ran away and threw
Cameron out. The inquiry sustained was
slight, and at the time nothing was
thought of it. But it is said he has
never seen well day from that time tc
this, and at last has had to submit to 8
cruel operation. He is now in bed
waiting to recover strength, when he il
