The usually well informed Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says that it is privately given out that the Demo cratic members of the Ways and Means com mittee will agree to present bill proposing an average reduction of existing duties amounting to between fifteen and twenty per cent. The bureau of statistics reports that the average ad valorem rate of duty paid during the first quarter of the current year reveals reduction of less than three ger cent. The significance of this fact is brought out when it is considered in connection with the report of the tariff commission which ad of twenty-five psr cent. While the bill pre- pared by the commission was made the basis of the new law, yet it was modified in manS particulars, especially by the conference con- mittee and instead of reduction of twenty or twenty five per cent, as advocated by the commission, the lay has effected a reduction of less than three for the first quarter of the current year, and it is altogether improbable that the average reduction for the entire year will reach five per cent, and it may fall below three per cent. In the light of the general argument of the tariff commission the revenue reformers of the house think that a bill which will sffsct an average of be- tween fifteen and twenty per cent cannot be reasonably opposed on the ground that it is too radical

Notwithstanding the great shrinkage in the market value of railroad stocks, fifty four leading railroads, most Of them ia the West, show about ten per cent. increase in earnings and mileage-46,o o94 miles and $288. 4O1 ,673 for 1883, against 42, ,G45 miles and $261.- 539, ,O7S for 1882. And yet there is no rise in the price of their stocks because people have heard too much about "big earnings" and suffered too much from their faith in them.
 The recent revision by the English society of Friends of their book of discipline, which was founded upon the journal of George Fox, shows that this strict ssct is losing some of it's atrictness. For instance, the injunction against music is removed. Musical enter tainments are now allowed, although the brethren are cautioned against attempts to
 stcombine religion with certain amount of amusement" The duty of taking ''needful recreation" is another innovation on the old order of things.
 Silk culture is assuming great importance in California It is said by those wko have tried it that some parts of that State are pe- culiarly well adapted for that industry. At 8 recent meeting of the State Board of Silk
 Culture steps were taken to import the best varieties of mulberry trees from Italy for grating, and it was stated that large box of siIkworm eggs was about to arrive from Japan. It was decided to continue the school of instruction for silk culture if sufficient money for the purpose is forthcoming. The water of California is better adapted for silk reeling than that of any other country on account of peculiar softness which charac- terizes it, and it's freedom from all alkaline substances.

 According to the statement of the vice director of the Rio Janeiro Faculty of Medi cine in Brazil, where all the inhabitants take coffee many times 8 day, acoholism is un- known; it is further stated that immigrants contract little by little the fondness of the Brazilians for drinking coffee and their aver sion for liquors; and as the children of these immigrants never contract the fatal habits known to their parents, it would seem that the number of drunkards in the country is in inverse ratio to the amount of coffee consumed. A South American correspondent of the Medical Times confirms the above, as- serting that the number of cafes in the large cities of Brazil-where multitudes of persons from the highest to the lowest go-is enor- nous, while drinking saloons are few.

Utah divorces have been condemned in the courts of sever al States. case in point is that of Mrs. Mary M. Hardy, of Boston, who paid her husband, John Hardy, $5, 1000 to permit her to secure divorce He was to give her nominal cause for the suit, and was to have the money on the day that the decree was granted. She proceeded to Utah, and in twenty -four days returned with one of the peculiar divorces to be had in that territory, and married Ezra G. Perkins, 8 wealthy contractor. Less than one year from this time she died, leaving will bequeathing her property to Cher husband" mentioning no name. That will was contested by the astute John Hardy, and when all the facts in the case came to light it was decided by the court that he and the woman had never been lawfully divorced, and that he was, therefore, her husband. The money will therefore go to him, and as Mrs. Hardy was very rich John is probably rejoicing over his trade and its result.

The following significant comment is

Possibly the most striking feature of the
entire debate has been the strength of the
national banking system and the very
marked weakness Of the greenback element
For instance, against the bill to-day there
were but twelve votes, and forty-two votes
in the affirmative The strongest vote on
the Greenback amendment was that on the
proposition of Mr. Vest to use Treasury
notes in lieu Of national bank circulation

the latter are withdrawn This amend
ment was rejected by vote of IA ayes
