IT Is the impression at Washington,
that In his forthcoming annual mes
sage President Arthur will advise the
abolition of internal taxes; that he
will at least recommend free tobacco
and lower whisky taxes, but there is
no belief that he will ask a re-
duction Of import duties in
favor of the great army of con-
sumers. The country d es not ask
for cheaper tobacco and whisky; it
asks for cheaper necessities of life,
made dear by taxation for monopo-
lies. Twenty years ago heavy tax
was put'on tobacco, and the present
generation know nothing of untaxed
tobacco, In the last few years the tax
has been reduced, and the price of the
article proportionately diminished, but
il may be asserted that to-day tobacco
is as cheap as consumers desire it to
be, To abolish an imperceptible ex-
else on luxury which yields a reve-
nue. Of about $40 100000 a year would
be such an indefensible violation of
all principles of public economy that
we may hope the president will not
be led to advocate such fatal legis
iatilln. The protectiopists want in
ternal taxes abolished, that import du
ties may be kept as they are, or raised

THE TRANSFERRED TEXAS AND
PACIFIC CLAIM.

1t is remembered that the federal
government made large land grants
to the Texas e Pacific railway COM
pany on its proposed line through the
territories between Texas and Cali
fornia. The Texas 81 Pacific failed
to build their line, but transferred to
the Southern Pacific railway company
for the right to connect with the
Southern Pacific road the right to
these lands. The Southern Pacific
having passed through the territories
and over the route set apart for the
Texas 81 Pacific there was no use for
any other railway, and the transfer of
lands was made, as stated. 1t is
now announced, that the Secre-
tary of the Interior declines to
act in the premises, announcing
his intention to leave the decis-
ion as to the patenting of the lands to
the Southern Pacific company, in lieu
of the Texas & Pacific, to congress
What this body will do is hard to tell.
1t has been contended that the trans
fer to the Southern Pacific is not just,
and it might therefore be suggested
that the proper place to settle such a
question is in the courts of the coun-
try. 1t is claimed that the Texas &
Pacific company has no right to trans
fer, since it had done nothing by
which to acquire title. It is
claimed that an essential element
in the consideration for these lands
was the construction of real railway
line. a good deal of opposition to
the grant is coming from quarters af-
fected by diversion of traffic to the
Southern route, but this has no bear.
ing on the justice of the transfer an6
the claim of the Southern Pacific
The opening of the Pacific lines tc
the northward were attended with
bounteous gifts by the government
which has contributed nothing to any
Southern enterprise. The legality
of the transfer is questioned, though
and congress is asked to decide as t.
the merits of the case. 1t is all power
full, and it can make or unmake law
1t might be best to try the case befor,
the courts of the country, and if con
gress fails to act, it may in the ent
reach them. If the Southern Pacifi
has any just claim, arising from tn
transfer, it ought to be respected
if it has acquired this transfer with
out any rightful consideration an,
without the Texas s. Pacific havinI
the right to transfer, then the claiu
should be declared null and void.
this claim be recognized, it viii be til
last contribution of the federal gol
ernment to any railway company.

noticed. Whenever wolves have been
unusually predatory, have destroyed a
favorite dog or so,or dug up cache OF
reindeer meat just when it is needed,
or in any way have aroused the ire Of
the lDnuit hunter, he takes strip Of
whalebone about the size of those used
in corsets. wraps it up into compact
heiical mass like a watch spring, having
previously sharpened both ends, then
ties it together with reindeer sinew,
and plasters it with a compound Of
blood and grease, which is allowed to
freeze and forms a binding cement
sufficiently strong to hold the sinew
string at every second or third turn.
This, with a lot OF similar looking
bats of meat and blubber, is scattered
over the snow or ground, and the
hungry wolf devours it along with the
others, and when it is thawed out by
the warmth of his stomach, it elong-
ates and has the we'll known effect Of
whalebone on the system, but having
the military advantage of interior
lines its effects are more rapid, killing
the poor wolf with the most horrible
sgonies in a couple of days.

The Eye with Age.
Chambers Journal


The sight of near object involves
in the case OF normal eve an actual
muscular effort. A near object is
seen by rays that are more or less
divergent, and which require to be
more powerfully reiracted than the
parallel rays in order to bring them
to focus within the same space. We
have seen how this Iefraction is
brought about-by an alteration in
the shape of the lens. In youth this
alteration is easy enough, Elastic
membranes yield readily, muscles are
vigorous, and, above all, the lens itself
is soft and highly elastic.
But, as years go on, grad
ual hardening process takes
place in this crystalline body.
1t gradually loses its elasticity and
becomes more and more rigid, and the
rover OF accommodation constantly
dimiuishes. 1t is found on an average
of observations that at ten years Of
age the crystalline lens may be
rendered so convex as to give clear
image of an object three inches from
the eye. At twentyNone it will only
accommodate itself to an object four
and halt inches from the eye. Any
thing nearer will be obscure, because
the lens will not assume form
sufficiently convex to refract to a
focus on the retina rays of light so
divergent as any nearer object will
radiate. At forty years of age, the
near point" has reached to a dis
lance of nine inches, and at fifty, to
thirteen inches. At sixty years Of age
the lens has so far lost its fexibility,
and therefore its power Of responding
to the muscle, that it cannot ordinari
ly give clear image Of any object less
than twenty-six inches from the eye.
At seventy.fve the power of accom-
mediation is wholly lost; light still
passes through the eye and is focused
on the retina, but divergent rays re-
quire that extra retroactive power
which the aged eye has lost by the
hardening of the lens. Not as a matter
of disease, then, but in the ordinary
course Of years, and in every eye alike,
is the bodily sight gradually weaned
from the scrutiny Of near objects
around, and permitted to turn a clear
vision only upon things far of.

An Instantnneous Light.


Such in word is the unique APP
paratus on exhibition at the rooms Of

and weighs but five pounds, and can
be carried with ease. The light, or,
more properly, lighter, requires no
extra power. wires or connections.
and is so constructed that any part
can be replaced at small cost. The
chemicals are placed in a glass re
tort; a carbon and zinc apparatus,
with a spiral platinum attachment, is
then adjusted so as to form battery
and the light is ready. The pressure
on a little knob produces an electric
current by which the spiral of plati.
mum is heated to incandescence. The
Portable Electric Light Company was
recently Incorporated, with a capital
of $1,000 under the laws of Massa-
chusetts. The usefulness of the APP
paratus and the low price-$5-will
no doubt result in its general adop~
ton. Some of the prominent bust
ness men of the State are identified
with this enterprise. In addition to
its use as a lighter, the apparatus can
also be used in connection with a
burglar alarm and galvanic battery.
