Northumberland News.

WASHINGTON, September 14.-A re-
port hiss been received at the State
Department nom Consul General SUIT
ton, at Matamoras, embodying trans-
lation OF the new law promulgated on
the 7th OF July relating to the rights
OF foreigners. 1t provides that any
foreigner may be naturalized in Mex
leo alter two years residence, upon
furnishing proof that he is in the full
enjoyment OF civil rights in his own
country and that he has business or
an income sufficient 10 provide him
with the necessaries OF life. Colonists
coming into the country by virtue OF
contracts executed by the government,
and whose trans porlation and settling
expenses ehall be pad by the govern
ment, shall be COM idered Mexican
citizens, subject to the power reserved
to the Executive OF banishing those
whose residence may be considered
pernitioue. Vacant pub ic lands or
real estate or VI ssels may be acquired
by foreigners without a residence in
Mexico, but they must abide by the
res rictlons imposed upon them by
the laws in force. Any relesse OF
real estate made to a foreigner
for a term OF more than ten
years shall be considered as
transfer, The Federal law may re-
str ct the civil rights OF foreigners to
the extent Of subjecting them to the
same liabilities which the laws Of
their own countries impose upon Mex
ycaus. Foreigners shall contribute to
public expenses in the manner pro-
vided for by the laws; they shall sub.
nit to the decisions and sentences oil
the tribunals "withoutspplyir g to diff
ferent resources THAI those perm tied
by law TO Mexicans They shall apply
TO diplomatic Intervention only in
casps OF denial of justics or OF volun-
tsry de ay in the administrat on of the
same, and after having tried ia vain all
the different means afforded them by
the laws OF the Republic, and in the
manner determined by international
laws" The compulsory naturalization
OF foreigners is repea ed. This law
does not repeal the twenty league
frontier limit or the FIVE league maine
limits; consequently to purchase real
estate within twenty leagues OF the
frontier the permission OF the Presi-
dent is still necessary, and to purchase
landed property within five leagues OF
the coa.t permission NUT be obtained
by special act OF Congress.

The New Public Printer.

WASHINGTON, Seetember 14.-Thos.
+. Benedict, of New York. this morL-
ing took the prescribed oath and i'm
mediately entered upon the duties Of
the office OF Public Printer.
AS soon ss Mr.. Benedict took pos
session OF the Office the several fora
men OF the various departments were
introduced to their new chief. Mr..
Benedict, after greeting each one indi-
vidually, addressed them collectively.
He announced to them that each was
to continue in his present position for
the time being, or until he should fur
Their communicate with them; that al
as early moment IS YVES practicable
he would address to esch some inqui-
ries respecting the work OF bis dlvis
ion, the property in his hands, etc.,
and W. u'd give directions in detail S
to the work. Until such time tho sys-
tenn ia existence under Mr.. Rounds
would continue in force. Mr. Bene-
dict impressed upon his assistants that
he wanted to avoid any interruption
or delay in the work of the Office. He
wanted the work to 90 forward smooth
ly and expeditiously. Special vigilance
in guarding and protecting public prop
erty and interests was enjoined upon
the men, and they were urged to be
| industrious aud attentive. They were
espe clally requested 10 be watchful
against fire, as conflagration now
would bs peculiarly disastrous. All
the lorenen were directed to report to
the Public Printer any work that
might reach their desks outside the
regular order, and were notified not
10 undertake any work OF any kind
unless 1t had the approval OF Mr..
Benedict. They were also directed
not to make any contracts for the pur-
chase of new material or to sell any
old material, except upon the author
ity of the Pub ic Printer. Those bav-
ing charge of public property were
ordered TO make al inventory OF all
such and submit it 10 the Public
Printer. Some reduction in the force
OF employees In the office will proba-
bly, have to be made soon. Mr.. Rounds
informed Mr.. Benedict that the pres
emit force was too large, and that the
condition Of the Appropriation would
not warrant its continuance. The
law provides that 80 per cent. OF the
money appropriated for the office
shall be unexpended and available on
the lst Of January. Mr.. Rounds de-
layed making the reduction that this
provision nee assitates because he de-
sired to leave bis successor unembar-
raised in the matter. Congress apprc-
priated $3.50, 900 less for the office than
Mr.. Rounds's estimate called for.
There lie, therefore, a demand for the

OF devouring grain and fruits, but all
the harm done in that way is thou
sandfold compensated for. Hawks
are accused Of killing chickens; they
pay for their rare feasts, and the owls
with them, by devouring field mice
aud other pests. In the orchard and
garden the birds make q grateful re-
turn for any little depreciation they
may be guilty Of by destroying snails,
worms and grubs without stint. AT
one time In Egypt the vultures were
exiirpated for eating peas. When
they were gone the loss incurred by
swarms OF black beetles they had in
dustriously kept down made their loss
bitterly lamented. Spare the birds;
they not only rejoice the heart with
music, but they beautifully repay
protection.

THE ENGLISH COMMONS.
An investigation Into the Barbs'
villa Murder Demanded.

LONDON, September 14.-The OBJ
struction tactics Of the Parnellites
have led the government to insist that
the debate on the supply bill be con-
cluded before day be granted for the
discu sion OF Mr.. ParnelPs bill. 1t is
almost certain that the House OF Com
mons will b, asked to sit on the re-
naming Saturdays of the session.
Even so, in view OF the present
temper OF the Parnellites, it
is improb lble that the House
will prorogle before the end
of the month. Assuming that Mr..
Parnell's bill is already ted, it is
almost certain that every stage OF the
appropriation bill will be made the oc-
sion of a prolonged disc 1ssion Of
Irish ma tiers. In the House OF Com
mons tonight, while the appropriation
for the Ilish coDstsbulfy was being
debated, Mr.. James lutte, member for
Northwest Meath, Nationalist, Iiniti-
ated discussion OF the Brbavilla
murder. He demanded an inquiry
into the case, saying that the persons
now imprisoned for completely in
the affair were undoubtedly
innocent. The debate lasted eight
hours, most Of the time being taken
up by the Parnellites. Mr.. Biggsr,
Mr.. Harrington, Mr.. Chilly aud others
,equently moved to report progress.
Mr.. Biggar pro ested against the &C
ton OF the Conservatives who, he said,
had made the arguments Of the Par
nelites inaudible. The House was
like beer garden. A motion to re-
duce the sum asked for by 100000 was
rejected by a vote OF l78 to rs, and fin
ally the full amount was voted. The
House then adjourned.

THE STEAM RAM.

While immense improvements have
been made in many things OF o:di-
nary life, street paving remains gen.
orally in very unsatisfactory cond,-
ton. Though the material be good,
unless dus care be given when laying
1t down, disappointment will follow.
In some OF the streets OF this city, good
solid blocks OF stone have been used,
but after a moderate amount of use
the surface becomes uneven, and the
saving to vehicles and the smoothness
and comparative no sless les5 30 much
to bs desired are lost. This dissp-
ment is bound to follow, however good
the material and however sound the
workmanship, unless the pavement
after being laid down is thoroughly
rammed until 1t can sink no further.
When the only ramming comes from
the passing vehic'es, some loaded
heavier, some lighter, the narrow
wheels ram irreRularly, and hills and
hollows are the result What Is need
ed Is a rammer that is heavier than
any loaded veh c'e, that shall ram the
blocks co solid that no load that passes
over them can force them further
down and 30 make hollow places
where water settles and soitens the
soil below, and Sd cAus,s further sink
ing. The steam rammer accomplishes
what is wanted. II is of immense
weight and passes over the blocks
again ana sgain until there is not the
slightest sinking under the tremen-
dous pressure. A Chattanooga paper
awhile ago stated that Hamilton
county had purchased one Of thete
rams. On pavement property put
down the result was most satisfactory.
Montreal, in Canada, uses the steam
ram, and the result, especially where
the small block Belgium pavement Is
used, is most gratifying, The ram
makes the road bed solid. The pass
ing vehicles may wear away the ma
terial in time, bat they are powerless
to shape it into hills and hollows. A
steam hammer, which runs by lis OWL
steam, would save Memphis its cost
many times over by rendering vel
constructed pavement permanent, and
to save the outlay for taking up and
repavlng every few years, especially
when the foundation material IL
properly rammed down before thu
blocks are laid upon it.

SPARE THE BIRDS.

The shooting season has opened,
and now is the time to enter plea on
behalf Of the small birds. That plea
is especially appropriate here, as orni-
biologists have declared that the
slaughter OF small birds is greater in
the sod,h than in the North. 1t is
not TO the credit OF human beings that
the music OF the mockiug bird, aud
the songs OF the other winged melo-
dists, are not a sufficient plea for for
bearance toward them. Who can de-
libeIately aid to make our woods
voiceless, TO exchange the exuberant
; bird notes for q gloomy and mournful
silence? Even those who are 30 toul
less as TO be deaf to the harmony Of
Gods own choir should spare the
birds for the services they render ia
their ungrateful slaughterers. Such
should know, or knowing remember
that we must either have birds to
keep down insect life or our crops, oui
vegetables and our orchards will be
infected with enemits. Destroy the
birds, ami worms, g,ubs and
hles in countless multitudes will
aveDge their loss by destroying
human food. Some birds are accused
