The Tariff Bill.
railroad,

Representative Morrison of Illinois,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, on Monday introduced in the
house of representatives the long looked
for tariff BILL The bill makes reduc-
ton of at least 20 per cent. on all man
ufactured articles and fixes the rates on
an advalorem basis It provides that
ssno duty or rate of duty shall after the
said first day of July, 1884, be levied
collected, or paid in, except 40 per
cent advalorem or its equivalent, on
cotton and cotton goods, so per cent.
advalorem, or its equivalent on metals,
and 60 per cent. advalorem on wool and
woolen goods.
Many articles used as food and for
medical and mechanical purposes are
placed upon the free list. It will be
observed that the same rate is estab-
lished upon wool and woolen goods.
This makes material reduction of
from 40 to l25 per cert. on manufac-
tured woolen goods and increases the
rate of duty on wool eqnal to or greater
than it vas before reduced by the last
Republican congress. This is mani
festly just, The wool growers of
America have had greater competition
from the large herds and cheap pas
lures of Australia and South America,
than any other industry, and have never
had the same amount of protection that
will be thus afforded them by this
equal advalorem tax for revenue pur-
poses. 1t is right and just that the in
dustrious farmer should have an equal
share in the incidental protection af-
forded BY tariff duty.

The Star OF Bethlehem in 1887.

Mr.. Frank Gilbert. in his new
"Worlds Historical and Actual" quotes
the learned Professor Gounmier as fol-
lows: Tn 1887 the "Star of Bethle-
hem" will be seen once more in stCleo-
patra's Chair" and will be accompanied
by total eclipse Of the sun and moon.
The star only makes its appearance ey-
cry 3l5 years It will appear and
illuminate the heavens, and exceed in
brilliancy even Jupiter when in appo-
sition to the sun, and therefore nearest
to the sun and brightest The marvel
Gus brilliancy of the "Star of Rathle-
hem" in 1887 will surpass any of its
previous visitations. It will be seer
even by MONDAY, shining with quick
flashing light the entire year, after
which it will gradually decrease in
brightness and finally disappear, not tt
return to our heavens until 2202, OF
315 years after 1887. The star FRS
attracted the attention of modern as
tronorers in the year 1875. It'wa:
then called a new star. It was no new
star, however, for this was the star
which shone SO brightly D. c., and was
the star that Illuminated the heavens at
the nativity of Christ.

A Blsz,! !!

About half-past six o'clock Monday
evening the cry Of FIRE caused breeze
of excitement on Jackson street. The
smoke and flame led to Morty Sulli-
vans marble shop, which was on fire.
The partition wall, composed Of rough
boards, had caught about four feet from
the floor and burned hole large
enough to throw dog through, and
was getting pretty well under headway
when the door was forced open and by
the aid of buckets and water the flames
were readily extinsuished. During
the excitement the officers of the yari-
ons fire companies donned their uni
forms and got out their engines, but
were too late to exhibit their skill.
While the Hose company were first to
get their engine on the ground, it was
a member of the Hook and Ladder
company who put the first water on the
fire and extinguished the flame. Some
minutes after the fire had feen put out
the chief of the department. was seen
to Issue from his quarters in fall uni
form, trumpet in hand, hair curled and
moustache waxed in the heighth of
fashion. With martial tread he
made his way toward the scene of the
excitement. He was met by citizen
who asked where he was going. He
said: "To extinguish the fire." He
was informed that the fire had been put
out some time ago. He replied, in
measured tones: 81 have duty to
perform" One of the boys became SO
excited that he goe into neighbor's
hen roost. So ends the first blaze since
the organization of the fire department
in Roseburg.
