Some points of interest are disclos-
ed by recent statistics of the British
revenue. 1t was shown by the Chan
cellor Of the exchequ>r, In introduce
ing the budget day or two ago. that
the revenue derived from spirits
showed q persistent decline in COM
parison with the estimates for the
year just closed aud with the receipts
for the preceding year. Within the
decade the decrease in revenue from
alcohol has amounted in round num-
bers to nearly So. 100000. This de-
cline has been concurrent with an in
crease in the revenue derived from
the comforts of life. Taken together
the facts seem to reflect change ia
popular habits The most satisfac-
tory feature ofthe lately issued reve-
nue. returns is the gain 10 the reve.
nue. derived from the postofice and
telegraph services, the returns from
which have exceeded the estimates of
the excbequer authorities.

claims to be q universal language, !"
by which natious and tribes will be
taught to speak and read one language,
and thereby prevent a confusion Of
tongues. Now, Schleyer, don't try
to make people speak the same tongue
until you have frst taught them to eat
the same dishes. live in the same
houses, have the same customs and
wear the same clothes. 1t can't be
done. It's agin Later. Languages,
SchIeyer, are not invented" any more
than climate and complexious. You
might as well try to invent one
suit of clothes to ct everybody. And
then to think of all our books being
printed in one language, and our
young ladies becoming interested in
the plot of chinese novel of 600
volumes in small type. Get out,
