1t is said that last year was not profit
able one TO the London newspapers, or
rather that II did not maintain the enOr-
nous prosperity of previous experience.
A curious statistician has gone to the
trouble of analyzing the advertising coll
umns of the principal newspapers, and
has arrived at some startling conclusions,
He states that the shrinkage in the Times
for last year represents decrease in rev.
enue to the extent of $4,000 compared
ard diminution of $4,000, and of the
Daily Telegraph $4,000. These figures
may be true or they may not, and still the
fact remains that these newspapers yield
an enormous profit to the proprietors,

charges being 50 80 per ton for freight and

John Tyler, Jr., son of President Tyler,
is the latest to write on the hackneyed
theme Of John Howard Payne and "Home,
Sweet Home" It was from President
Tyler that Payne received his appoint
ment as Consul at Tunis, at the request
Of young Tyler, who found that the author
was in almost destitute circumstances.
Mr.. Tyler had it from Payne's own lips
that his ventures in the theatrical way in
London were failures in pecuniary sense,
and it was at this period that, his money
having become exhausted, he wandered
one night in the streets greatly detected,
and without shilling to pay for bed
Getting fatigued, he sat down ON the front
steps of a nohleman's mansion, and be-
meath the entrance lamps wrote with pen
ell on some blank paper he carried in his
pocket the original lines of ''HOme, Sweet
Home" Afterward, he introduced them
in his drama of ''Clara, the Maid of Milan"
and so made them famous, He was ulti-
mately more successful with his pen while
in London than he had been on the stage.

AN INGENIOUS SCHEME.

I
 The whisky makers have disturbed Con- gress and the country all they could during the last few months. The powerful lobby at work for them in Washington pulled all ''the wires" it could get hold of to induce Con gress to relieve the distillers, and many sad 1 things, including a financial panic, were prophesied in case the Bonded Whisky bill should not pass The bill did not psss, but the distillers do not appear disposed to fall into irretrievable ruin and carry their fellow citizens down with them yet.
 Their scheme to save themselves is an in genious one. A section of the Revised Stat utes permits the transportation of exported articles which when consumed at home are subject to an internal revenue tax, on the payment at the custom house of dues equal to the internal revenue tax. Whisky dealers, under the provisions of this clause, can with draw their whisky from bonded distillery warehouses, ship it to the seaboard in bond, export it to Bermuda or Liverpool, and re- import it whenever 8 market is presented in this country on payment of tax equal to the internal revenue tax of ninety cents per gal lon. It may remain in 8 custom house ware house. after being reimported for twelve months before paying the tax, and it can even remain in bonded warehouses two year s ,onger by payment of ten per cent. on the tax, as penalty.
 The advantages of this plan over that pro posed by the Bonded Whisky bill which failed to become law are important. The bill made no allowance for leakage. permit ted the bonded period to be extended only two years, and charged for that extension five per cent. per annum on the amount of the tax By exporting whisky and storing it in Bermuda or Liverpool practically unlim- tied extension of the bonded period can be obtained The freight to Bermuda and re- turn is only three cents per gallon, less than the interest on the tax for one year. The freight to Liverpool and return, if brought within year, is five and one-half cents per gallon. When whisky is reimported the tax of ninety cents per gallon is required to be paid on only the actual quantity of whisky contained in the barrels. It is estimated that forty gallon barrel of three-year- old whisky loses by leakage in one year two gal Ions, the tax on which would amount to $1.8O.
 It is thought that $50, OO0 barrels of whis- ky will be exported this yeaT. and that 15o,- 900 barrels will be reimportei It is queer condition of things, but perhaps the country ought to be thankful that the whisky men have concluded not to bring on their threat ened panic.

It is said that MT. Gladstone will make an effort to reconstruct the government of Lon don. The city proper covers only about a square mile and contains only 60, 900 people.
 chiefly porters, police, janitors and the.h6e. Twenty six Aldermen elected for life, 2O6 Councilmen elected annually, and che Lord Mayor, who is chosen by the iverymen of the City Guilds, now govern with much pomp and great powers the little district. The AL dermen are ex-oficio Justices of the Peace, and choose one of the three Judges of the Central Criminal court. The other two are elected by the CouncilmeN. The little city elects it's own Sheriffs and manages it's own police. The great and true London is prac- tically governed by the Metropolitan Board Of Works-a bureau of modern origin The police are under the direct contr ol of the Grown. It is said to be the Premier's design to reform and modernize all this, and to make all London one corporation divided in- to wards, whose taxpaying inhabitants shall elect their own Aldermen and Counoilmen,
 who in turn shall choose the Lord Mayor. The great Board of Works will be merged into this new body. The Aldermen are to cease to be Judges. The vestries and minor
 bureaus will remain, but under the supervi- sion of the new Municipal Council. It is predicted that it will be found difficult to
 brush away institutions dating from time inn memorial, as the Londoners are tenacious of their customs, and the country at large is not
 likely to interest itself against them

The Anti-Monopoly League is naturally disgusted with the action of Governor Cleve- land in vetoing the Five Gent Fare bill, and has sent memorial to the Legislature ex- pressing it's disgust. In this memorial it is claimed that the frauds practiced by the ele- vated railroad managers in the issue of stocks and bonds ''vitiate the contracts between them and the State, and that the elevated railroad promoters accepted their charters subject to the reserved power of the State to modify or repeal them. The estimate of the amount of "water" in these stocks is placed. with great exactness, at $24, ,641, ,S14.O5, and l sufficient reasons are given to show that it is ! as near the truth as any estimate not based on an examination and the books of the coz porations can be.
