The Mexican Reciprocity Treaty ~
encountering much unfavorahle criti-
clsm, and 1t Is questionable If congress
will ratify the instrument ia face
oil the practical opposition that will
probably be put forward 10 secure its
defeat. IL may safely be asserted that
the Louisiana delegation will be Il unit
adverse to adoption,' and although
their constituents will he the chief pro-
ducers, subject toa possible competition
under Interpretations OF so-called com
mercial reciprocity, when the treaty
comes before congress for ratification or
rejection, that delegation may be en-
abled to make such representation as
will secure To themselves many
supporters, and so temper the senti-
ment of the members as To reject the
measure in its present shape. One of
the stipulations of the treaty admits
for period of six years Mexican sugar
free of duty into the ports of the
United States. As would naturally be
supposed the sugar planters of Louisi-
ana are clamorous in their hostility to II
scheme which proposes to bring the
Mexican productinto close competition
with their own. The firmest advocates
of the treaty Insist, in conciliatory
tone, that Mexico does not produce
more than half enough sugar
for home consumption, which
as a statement OF iacts is probably cor
rect, but ms an argument in justifica-
ton of the principle involved. is hope
lessly weak. Commercial intercourse
with Mexico in greater volume than
AT present is Que of the cerlainties of
the future, and it is TO be hoped the
diplomats of the two republics may ar
range II reciprocity in operation as well
us in name sort of commercial COM
ity that will he mutually beneficial
and not singularly preiudicial. A
treaty that will endanger the stability
of the nine millions of dol
lars of the Louisiana sugar
planters, invested in carrying on the
industry of sugar making, is mani
testify unjust and foreign to the spirit
of the most enthusiastic tariffreforiner.
The unsatisfactory consequences of the
Haiwaiian treaty, the substantial ben
etits of which appear to be munopolized
by the Sandwich Islanders, and the
powerful influences now being brought
to bear at Washington to procure its alb
| rogation, may suggest To the reflective
mind the outgrowth of like contin-
gencies and conditions under the pro-
posed Mexican treaty, 1t is II we'll

that the sugar of the
Sandwich lslaads is imported
and consumed on the western slope Ia

1t would be pleasant to have May weather
even now, but not profitable. This is the
way the matter is argued "Why an early
spring is desirab lie it is hard to understand
for it is fact, as well known as any fact can
be, that early springs prognosticate doubtful
crops of fruits, cereals and hay. Late cold
springs are always favorable to abundant
crops of fruits and grass. Oat.sowing may
be retarded, which might be against full
crop; the planting of the early crop of pota-
toes may also be interfered with, but in the
great corn crop and the later planting of pc,
tatoes it will have great deal to do with full
yields. 1t is well known that the early
blooming of peaches and cherries, and to a
certain extent of apples also, may expose
them to the late frosts and measurably de.
stroy them. Late cool springs are, in fact, al.
ways to be desired"

Sheridan once succeeded admirably in
entrapping a noisy member who was in the
habit ofinterrupting every speaker with cries
of "Hear hear I" He took an opportunity to
allude to a well known political character of
the time, whom he represented as person
who wished to play the rogue but had only
sense enough to play the fool. "Where," eX-
claimed Sheridan, in continuation, and with
great emphasis where shall we find more
foolish knaye or a more knavish fool than
this ?" Hear hearW was instantly bel
lowed from the accustomed bench. The wick
ed wit bowed, thanked the gentleman for his
ready reply TO the question and sat down.

What is Religion Worth.

In connection with the subject of giving,
Mr.. Spurgeon tells the following anecdote !:
A gentleman went around with paper to
raise the minister's salary. He went to a
poor man who had attended the church
twice, who put down f10. The gentleman
asked him if he did not mean los. 40 shil-
lngs?" said the man, "do you think that the
spiritual benefit and comfort that a man gets
from such minister as ours through year
is only worth ten shillings?" reckon it to
be worth great deal more but really can
not afford to give more" "Well," suid the
man who was collecting, to himself, "if this
man can afford fl0, / can afford 90" He
had never before given more than ten shil-
lings. When man gives sixpence, says Mr..
Sturgeon, who is laying up thousands of
pounds, can only consider that he forms
a pretty accurate measure of the value of his
religion. A man who was pulled out of the
river by another, offered him fourpence.-

Please take especial notice: Parker's Ginger
Tonic is not mare essence of ginger not a mere

attacks and disspates radical and chronic dis
eases of the Lungs, Kidneys, Liver and Nerves.
1t is as delicious to the palate as it is prompt and
effective in operation. Ginger is only one among
many powerful curatves which the Tonic holds
in combination. Test its virtue for that cough

invigorant for the whole system.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

To say to man who all his life has
been taking hot and heavy meal at
midday, that in warm weather mid
day is not good time tor such meal
is to cay something which to him
sounds very much like aacrilese. He
will at once reply that the heavy
meal of the day should be taken early
enough to digest before bedtime.
There are very few men, except those
who perform the hardest manual labor
who need meat three times day in
warm weather. A light lunch at
noon, Of bread and fruit, or cold meat,
if meat there must be; an evening
meal of vegetables, bread and fruit,
with a small portion Of meat, if meat
must come in again, is best for these
warm months.
There are very few men who can
load up with big hot dinner at noon
and return at once to their work
with a relish and a readiness for it.
Thoes who haven't time to "sleep it
off" as very few have, know that it

the three days from Sept. llth to 18th
inclusive, have already been actively
underway Tor two months or more.
In the way Of q pageant, it would be
difficult to imagine more extensive
or more brilliant programme than
that laid out. The number of tablsau
cars will be double that ever before
attempted in any single parade else.
where, and in dimensions, gorgeous
construction and superb finish will
certainly bear off the palm of the
world.
The wonderful strides which have
of late been made with electric light
will be turned to striking advantage,
as this character of illumination will
be introduced in many novel FORMS
The first nights display, made in
honor of the arrival of Lord Baltimore,
will be as unique as it will be mag
nifcent. 1t is proposed to arm the
military with electric lights in at
least ten different colors; to place
the powerful focus light at many
points to fairly turn night into
day, and in many more ways make
the night memorable ons.
The feature Of this years Oriole
will be the night displays, and it has
well been termed a Summer Nights

No matter how unreasonable may
be the weather prevailing during

to bet on July keeping up its chsrac-
ter as summer month. Up to its

pit on a certain occasion will express
the situation appropriately in Anglo
Saxon prose. In poetry commend me

And there Is thirst and fever in the air;
The sky is changed to brass, the earth to

NEW YoRK.-There is practically
nothing to report in connection with
the trade in bituminous at the tide
water ports. Business is confined to
the filling of the contracts that have
been secured by the various districts,
and this keeps the output pretty well
ahead. In the interior markets there
is fair amount Of bituminous going
forward, although the Pittsburgh
operators report very irregular
trade. All the districts are holding
their particular customers at sacri.
fee of the price, and many Of the op-
orators look forward to chance
at the transient trade with a higher
range Of prices, later in the season, as
a means Of avoiding complete disso-
luton as We have heretofore noticed
there is Clearfeld coal being offered
In this market that come by rail TO
