BULWER LYTF0N'S BRIDGE,

'What beautiful bridge between old age
and childhood Is religion. How intuitively
the child begins with prayer and worship
on entering life, and how intuitively, on quit
ting life, the Old man turns back to prayer
and worship, putting himself again side by
side with the infant remarks Sir. e. BulWer
LyttOn, in his strange Story"
Yes, but between its distant abutment the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar
alone do not sustain these. Natures solid
rock must lie mistaken beneath, and human
art and skill must rear and solidify the struct-
ure overhead. Gods will is best exemplified
in the laws He has made for the creatures He
has placed under their control. Neither the
child's trustful ''Our Father" nor tho old
mans ''EOrget me not in the midst Of mine
infrmities," will alter this by the weight of q
single grain.
Science and art frst-then faith and prayer

are the discoveries of man not the vague an

results can DC atCalneu Dy better feeding.
But it proves, think, clearly, that it is
much better for us in this section to feed
all our steers at home, and sell them in
the best condition, and not put them on
the market in competition with all the
cattle raised on the western plains. Let
the ranchmen have the market in the
fall; we take it in the spring when there
is less competition.
That there is money in feeding Mime
sofa steers is evident, also by the fact
that SO many buyers from Illinois and
Iowa are here every fall picking them up
for that purpose. They are evidently
making, good thing of it, and will con-
tinue to do SO, as long as we will sell
them. Suppose We as farmers change as
fast as we can our system of farming.
Raise more cattle, hogs and sheep, grass
and coarse grain. Feed it all on the
farm, and thus concentrate the products
of the farm in the form of beef, pork,
mutton, wool, butter and cheese, and
thus save large percentage Of cost in
transportation, and also keep up and in-
crease the fertility Of our lands. We
would then have, / think, less occasion
to complain Of the greedy, grasping mo-
nopolies, of which none of us are mem

garrets, but that day has gone by, and
the American artist is no longer a men
dicant or suppliant. He lives in a
fashionable house, his studio is fire.
quently as fine as lady's boudoir, he
holds his receptions, he keeps his car
riage, and this altered condition in the
American artists estate is in no small
measure due to the influence of the
National Academy of Design in raising
the standard Of art. In this letter
it is impossible to speak of the pic
lures in detail. many of them are of
superlative merit.
One thing that is particularly grati-
flying to people who wish to adorn
their homes with good pictures, is the
reasonable price of many excellent
works. Of course artists like Cropsey,
j. G. Brown, Church, Hart, DeHass
and some others, can ask what they like
and get it-one picture by Brown and
another by Cropsey being held at
S2,5O0. There is large number of
young artists coming forward who will
yet leave their mark. Woman is as

whom the Academy owes much, is at
his post as usual, wrapt up in his art.
He hopes to live long enough to see his
beloved Academy one of the grandest

Gould, or Vanderbilt, or Stafford,
shall give two or three millions for a
free gallery where the American of the
future may realize the noblest inspira-

THE ABOLITION OF EXCIsE TAXEs.
In my annual message OF 1882 rec
ommend the abolition of all excise tax
es except those relating to distilled
spirits. The recommendation is now
renewed. In case these taxes shall be
abolished, the revenues that will still
remain to the government will, i'll my
opinion, not suffice to get it's reas-
enable expenditures, but will afford 4
surplus large enough to permit such
tariff reduction us may seem to be adj
visable, when the result of the re-
cent revenue laws and commercial
treaties shall have shown in what quar-
ters these reductions can be most judic-
ciOusly affected.
A COMMERCIAL COMMISSION.
One of the gravest of the problems
wlich appeal to the wisdom of con-
gress for solution is the ascerlainment
of the most effective means of increas-
Ing our foreign trade, and thus relicv-
ing the depression under which our III
dustries are now langulshing. The
secretary of the treasury advises that
the duty of investigating this subject
be entrusted in the first instance to u
competent commission. While fully
recognizing the considerations that
may be urged against this course,
AIN nevertheless of the opinion that
upon the whole no other would be like
ly 10 effect speedier or better results.
That portiol of the sccretary's report
which concerns this condition of our
Interests cannot fail TO command YOUR
attention. He emphatically recon-.
mends that as an incentive to the in.
ves!men. Of American capital in Amer
lean steamships. the government shall
by liberal payments for mail transpor-
tation or otherwise, lend its active as
sisianre TO individual enterprise, and
he declares his belief that unless that
course be pursued our foreign carrying
irade must remain as il il today;
almost exclusively in the huiltls vi
foreigners. One phase of this subject
il now especially prominent in view
of the repeal, by the act of June 2G,
1884, of all salutary provisions arbi.
lrarily compelling American vessels 10
carry the mails TO aud from the United
States: AS 1t is necessary to make
provisions to compensate the owners
OF such vessels for the performance of
that service after April ls, 1885, II is
hoped that the whole subject will re-
ceive early consideration that will lead
to the enactment Of such measures for
the revival Of our merchant marine nv
the wisdom of congress may devise.

THE NEGROES AND THEIR DE-
OEIVERS.

Many of the more fair minded and
intelligent colored men of this place,
says Washington City dispatch, are
surprised that Fled Douglass should
aggravatc the fears that are agitating
some Of the deluded negroes of the
south, owing to the election OF demo.
cratic president.
This sort of stuff coming from 80
prominent man as Fred Douglass
will do much harm by exciting the
fears of the ignorant, and prolonging
the deception which has for many
years been practiced upon them by
inscriptions politicians.
Ex-Congressman Rainey (colored)
OF South Corolina puts before Doug
lass a good example when he saws:
"Were l in a position to speak to The
100000 of negroes in the United
States, would say to them, possess
Your souls with peace, your liberties
are not in danger"
Mr.. Chase, editor of the Bee, a paper
published here in the interest OF the
colored people, says: 81 am very hope
tul that the ,change will inure to The
benefit of my race in the south. The
presence of an Office holding class of
men in the south whose chief endeavor
has seemed to be to stir up strife and
set the whites and blacks by the ears,
will be done away with, thus remov-
ing great cause of race feeling.
