which we might draw upon almost
without limit.
But in this general decline it is pleas.
ant to know that there is one subject at
least which has come forward to par
tally make up for what has been lost.
Need we say we refer to the roller
skate? During the first four months Of
1884 the roller skate was the foundation
of but three paragraphs; during the cor
responding period of 1885 it has fur
nished the raison d etre Of 1864 witt
cisms of different lengths and Of various
quality. Therefore. providing there
shall be no increase in the monthly re.
turns (and the probabilities all point in
an opposite direction) there will be.
during the entire year. 214.3 mirthful
illusions to the skating rink set before
the readers of American newspapers.
Finally, then, while deploring the de.
cline of American humor in general,
le. us thank Heaven and take courage,
in view of the marvellous possibilities
presented by the roller skates, and let
us all pray that this last bulwark of our
Nations wit may forever withstand the

SOMETHING FOR FARMERS To CHEW
ON.-In our country there are S,0o0.0o0
persons engaged i'll agriculture. aud
about coo, 900 persons engaged IN man
ufactu. es. There is more than $4,000
600. 600 capital invested III farms. I'M
meuts, and live stock; and not $1,000
600. 600 capital invested in manufactures.
So SAYS the census of 1850. The profits
of the whole body of manufactures are
about equal to the whole profit on agri-
culture. yet the history OF our National
legislation shows every effort directed
toward the development and stimulation
of manufacturing interests, while a9ri-
culture has III the main been left TO work
u its own results. For many years
the feeble effort to maintain 1T Wash
ington a bureau devoted to agricultural
interests has the jest OF the country.
What Is wanted, is practical manage
ment of farmers interests by men who
have thorough knowledge Of farming.

80 degrees of alcoholic strength.
Some curious facts are developed BY
a reference to this table. 1t upsets the
preconceived notion hat Germany is
the champion beer-drinkiug nation. Bel
GUM and Great Britain consumes over
twice as much beer as does Germany,
while Denmark and the Netherlands
lead the column IN spirits or hard drinks.
Alter all our selt-condemnation as a
whisky-drlnking population the United
States makes a pretty respectable show
ing as to temperance, being sixth IN the
consumption Of beer and wine aud
eleventh in spirits, While there is more
drunkenness in England than in France.
the French are by ali odds the heaviest
of alcohol. The Frenchman
is a regular systematic wine tippler. but
imbibes by formula, INDUCING rarely in
excessive debauches, while the English
man, as a rule, is a sporadic drunkard,
swallowing enough OF fiery decoctions
during his Saturday night |carousals n
the gin mills and slums of London TO use
him up morally, physically, socially and
financially.
In France, men. and children
drink wine. There are no total abstain
ers III that country, and many of
their bibulous population consume vast
quantities OF spirits in the shape of Cog
nae. aOslnthe and ~vertnouth. The use
OF the latter stimulant is tearfully iuiu-
rlous to MIND body and morals. Nari-
Gus theories have been advance as to the

AT speech made to the graduates of
Columbia college law school, Hon. A.
s. Sullivan is credited with saying there
is a necessity for broader power of leg
islatlon by the national congress for
amending and unifying the constitu-
tons of the states, no two of which are
similar" Congress has no power to
amend and unity the constitutions of the
states, and it ought not to have any.
Their constitutions are beyond all federal
authority. They can only be changed by
the people of the respective states. 1t
would be a sad day for this country if
the system of local government, under
which the United States have become
powerful and prosperous should be set
aside and system of centralized dicta>
ton be substituted for it.
