Notwithstanding the pretensions of the
distillers, when trying to secure an extern
sion of the bonded period by Congress,
that their business was suffering great de-
preston from production, the late
annual report of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue shows that the number of
distilleries in operation in the United
States is greater this year than last. On
the first of the last month there were ri
distilleries in operation with a produc-
tive capacity of 297, 900 gallons daily.
Illinois stands at the head of the States
IN the manufacture Of spirits. The Peoria
distilleries alone have a capacity of 1884,
600 gallons daily. Kentucky is second
and Ohio the third State in the manufac-
tnre of alcohol and spirits.

latitude 400 10,, longitude $50, they dis
covered an immense live trunk turtle,
which was at first thought to be a vessel
bottom up. The schooner passed within
twenty-five feet of the monster, and those
on board had ample opportunity to esti-
mate its dimensions by a comparison with
the length of the schooner. The turtle
was at least 10 feet long, 80 feet wide and
80 feet from the apex of the back to the
under shell. The flippers were 90 feet
long. 1t was not deemed advisable to at
tempt its capture.

were drawn up under the old form, and

CHANGE IN THE LIEN LAw.-The Mem
Jersey Lam journal for May contains the
following, of interest to mechanics and
many others Public warning should be
given of dangerous amendment to the
mechanics lien act made by the last legis-
lature. The provisions of tho act have
been extended to alterations in building.
Heretofore the lien was created only upon
the erection of building of additions to
the outside which could be seen by credi-
tors who were cautious enough to prowl
around the premises before taking mort
cages, but now the change in the parti-
ton wall of a bedroom may give me-
chanic lien for his work by which he
can sell the house and lot and obtain n
title free of a mortgage taken after the
work was done and before the lien was
filed and without notice to the MORTGAGE
This is gross injustice.

The New York Sun, which is said to
represent the Democratic party in the
press, has formulated four harmonious
principles rs follows
|. Let tho tariff be FOR revenue 1t win
then be protective also.
ii. Let the revenue tariff DO the only
source of revenue.
III. Let all internal taxes DO abolished
at once, except only the tax ON spirits.
w Let the tax on spirits be retained
only to meet the necessity OF means to
pay arrearages of pensions. When those
arrearages are provided for let the spil II
tax be likewise abolished.
This is another example of the difficult
ty Ofexpressing great things in few words
What would DO the effect of the adoption
of these principles ? The 500, 900, 600 of
revenue from spirits would be retained on
ly long enough to pay the pension arrears
The tariff thereafter would be the only
revenue, which is very different from n
tariff for revenue only" Exclusive of
arrears of pensions the cost Of Govern
ment in 1881 was $500, 900, 600 in round
figures, according to Mr.. Spofford, in
Guiding the interest account, while the
receipts from customs were sos, 900, 900.
If the revenue tariff should be the only
source of revenue it would seem probable
that the tariff would have to be increased,
which is hardly what Free Trade Demo
Gratis like Mr. Watterson would like,
though the Sun says all patriotic men
could unite on its platform. But perhaps
Mr.. Watterson is not patriotic.

Miss Clara Barton, who has Just seen
appointed Superintendent of the Woman's
Prison, Mass, was at one time q teacher
in the public schools in Boidentown, New
Jersey, where she began with six pupils,
and at the end of eighteen months left a
school of 600 pupils in iino brick build
ing. Failing in voice, she went to Wash
ington and assumed clerkship in the
Patent Office. This position Miss Barton
held until about the middle of President
Buchanans term, when she was removed
because Of her anti slavery tendencies.
After the election of Mr.. Lincoln she was
reinstated in her former position. Reused
to patriotic earnestness, she volunteered
10 fill the desks of any two disloyal per-
sons, below an examineiship, provided
they be dismissed and their salaries turn
ed into the national treasury. This offer
could not be accepted legally. Then she
turned her attention to the sick and
wounded soldiery crowding in and about
Washington, in which work she was aid
ed by other loving. hearted women
Through this beginning she quickly found
herself in field service. Her father ex-
horted her to follow this call to duty. A
royal arch Mason himself his daughter
was initiated to the degree to which the
daughters of Masons are admitted and
the emblem of the rite she had observed
she always wore upon her breast, and its
usefulness was often proved. Her later
career during and since the war, and IN
the Franco-German war, together with
her recent successful effort to have the
United States to join the Red Cross So
eiety Of Geneva, are we'll known.
