A locomotive running at the rate OF
thirty miles an hour will pass over
forty-four feet in second Many per-
sons never think of this when they
cross railroad tracks, and more than
one person has lost his life because OF
not calculating the speed of an oncom-
ing train and the corresponding slug
gishness of his own motions. No one
for moment would suppose that the
man killed on Saturday last, wilfully
or carelessly threw away his life. The
most sensible theory is that he, stopping
but for moment to observe the posi-
ton of the locomotive, had not time
afterward to escape. If train is
within three or four hundred feet Of a
crossing no one should attempt to cross
in front of it. The few seconds lost by
waiting are not worth saving at so
great risk.

A FoRETAsrE of the advantage of
the Brooklyn bridge in winter weather
when the ferry boats cannot run, or
are delayed in their trips, was given
the other day, when heavy fog settled
down on the river. 1t kept communi-
cation open between the two cities
while the ferry boats had to tie up to
theslips. 1t appears incidentally even
the electric light cannot penetrate a
heavy fog, the bridge lights being in
visible from the ferry houres-which
are at the base of the piers. In this
respect the electric light is not unlike
the disk of the sun. About $4,000
people crossed the bridge on Sunday.

COMMUNICATIONS.
A COUNCIL PROCEEDING.

Mr.. EDITOR For the first time in
the annals of the City of Beverly, at
the solicitation of our new City Solici-
tor, the public at large were excluded
from the Council Chamber in order
that a secret meeting (star coursel
might be held. The outcrep of thia
secret session, we understand, was the
reading of lengthy and unsolicited
opinion by that worthy official upon
what he thought was the unconstitu-
tionality of our City Ordinances. He
stated that they had not been legally
printed and posted. The City Solic-
itor has not been a resident of Beverly
for number of years and his knowl-
edge Of the affairs of our City is rather
limited, as it was proven that our or
dinances were entirely legal, having
been carefully revised and duly en-,
acted by previous Council in accord
ance with our Charter. The whole
business was a fiasco as far as our legal
advisor and his opinion were con.
cerned.

The creditors of the city of Elizabeth,
New Jersey, are brought up standing
by the decision Of the United States
District Court that it has no power to
compel less than majority Of the
Board of Assessors to do what the law
requires to be done by majority. An
alternative mandamus having been is
sued requiring the Board of Assessors to
add to the tax levy the amount Of a
judgment obtained against the city by
the Etna Insurance Company, four of
the Board resigned, leaving that body
without the required quorum 10 do bus
mess. Under the decision of the
Court this action Of the refractory As
SCISSORS has brought matters to dead
lock. 1t seems to be quite as necessary
TO do a careful business with spend
thrift corporations as with spendthrift
individuals.

Is it not time that Beverly shall be
clear of the vexatious license ques-
ton? 1t disturbs every plan proposed
for the good of the city, and there are
those in the Council of the city who
sink everything else in the question of
rum or no rum. Some act as though
their hope of happiness here and here
after was wrapped up in there being
general liberty to vend ardent spirits !;
and so there is almost halt in

RACES of nameless kinds that are con.
stantly being committed by tramps

SOME of the Western farmers have
had hard time this year. For three
months tornadoes have played havoc
with their buildings, fences, and or
chards, and it looks as though we had
not yet heard the last of these fierce
storms. Lately disastrous rains have
added their destructive powers to the
tornadoes, sweeping away whole fields
of grain, and now the great floods
along the Mississippi have inundated
many thousands of acres of the rich
farming lands, and destroyed all the
crops growing upon them. These I'M
fortunate farmers deserve the sympa-
thy and assistance OF the whole coun-
try.

ONE of the rich men of New York
was found dead upon the sidewalk in
that city the other night. Whether
he was murdered, or fell in a drunken
fit, causing his own death, has not been
determined, for he was known as a
hard drinker. One of the dead mans
friends remarked that the princi-
pal troubles with him was that he
had too much money and that he
had nothing to do. There are lots OF
men in the country whose physical and
mental condition would be improved
if they were obliged to labor ten hours
day in order to keep from starving
to death.

IT costs The Government about
one cent to coin silver dollar. The
trade dollars could be exchanged for
Bland dollars and recoined at profit.
The trade dollar never would have
circulated if the legal-tender dollar
had been honestly made with a dollars
worth of silver in it. The whole re-
sponsibility for the needless loss which
is now inflicted upon people who are
not able to stand it is due to the Gov
eminent acknowledgement. The fact
that trade dollars are only "pieces Of
silver" does not alter the situation nor
shift the blame from where it properly
belongs.

WHERE is Beverly? What is Bev-
erly? Such are the questions asked
any one who goes among strangers. 1t
has so little reputation that people
have to be informed as to its location
and desirability as place of residence.
We are sometimes vain enough to sup
pose that we amount to great deal in
the public eye, and that the little stir
that now and then wakes us up must
be convulsing the outside world, where
as we are like the gnat on the horn of
the OK, our presence or existence is
not known.

A QUEER divorce case is reported
from Ohio. A woman asks for a d.
yorce on the ground that her husband
holds family worship three times day,
and in his prayers points out all the
great sins mentioned in the Bible and
makes them apply to her in bitter
terms before all the members of the
family. She regards her husbands de-
nunciations as cruel in the extreme.

Tho Precious Metals,

The special report of Mr.. Burchard,
Director of the Mint, upon tho produce
ton of the precious metals in heUnited
States, which was ordered to be printed
by the last Congress, shows that the
yield of the mines of the United States
for the year 1882 was $32, 500, 900 in
gold, SAG, 100000 in silver, q total Of
SIS, 300, ,000-a decline OF 81, ,200,O 900 of
gold and an increase of $3,900,00O of
silver compared with the preceding year.
Tho greatest, relative decline was in
California, while in silver production
Idaho, Montana and New Mexico
showed the greatest increase. The ex-
cess Of production over consumption of
the year, added to the net imports Of
gold, resulted in a net gain to the
circulation Of less than $500, 900 in gold,
but by coinage and net import of coin
the metallic circulation gained nearly
$39, 700,0 900 in gold and about $27, ,6OO,-
900 in silver coin.
The California gold fields show no
evidence Of exhaustion, and Nevada
gives signs Of recovery from the mis-
management and stock speculation that
have affected its production. Idaho,
Montana, Utah and. New Mexico furn-
isll evidence Of the increased Importance
Of mining industry in those Territories,
while Arizona maintains her large pro-
ductiOn OF the precious metals.

Gathoriig and Drying Tea in Japan.

Tea gathering is commenced III May
Girls are employed, at an average of Ave
cents day, from sunrise 10 sunset. The
sprig of leaves is nippcd off carefully
with the finger nails and deposited in
basket, and other servants carry these
baskets, as they arc filed, to the tea
planters house and necessary outhouses.
Here other employees spread them out on
large palm mats and here the frst and
only adulteration essaycd by the tea
planter is executed. Having decided the
percentage Of exhausted leaves TO mix
with his fresh leaves these are put also on
the mats. The drying is IN the open air
and In the sunlight. That having been
completed, the next operation is tic curl
ing. To effect this the dried leaves are
poured into open cast-iron rcccptaclcs over
charcoal furnace beneath Of accurately
graded heat. Sufficient laborers are
placed around those pans to constantly
take In their hands the leaves as they be-
come heated and to roll them. When the
curling Is done the leaves are packed IN
coarse, cheap boxes, tre,ghtcd to tho
nearest tea market and there sold to
foreign tea dealer. Every foreigner Keeps
a special variety Of tca.tastcr, who has to
tell tho quality OF tho fresh leaf and to
make guess at the amount of leaves that
have already done service.
