TarifIing Against Nature.

The arguments which protectionists use
to defend heavy tariff on a certain man
ufactured article cannot be made to apply
to the wool tariff It is simply an effort
of government to induce American farm
ers to continue the raising of sheep for
wool in spite of unsuitable climate, In
spite of heavy losses and in spite of cost
largely in excess of wool growing in more
suitable countries. It results in compell-
ing American woolen goods manufact-
urers to pay from 20 to 40 per cent. more
for wool than they could buy it for abroad.
Thus while Uncle Sam imposes tariff to
encourage woolen goods manufacture in
one law, he imposes tariff which, in
effect, discourages woolen goods manu-
facture in another law. Woolen goods
manufactures actually decreased in num-
ber from 1870 to 1880 partly for this
reason, and less money is now paid out in
wages to workers in woolen goods fac
tories than was the case in 1870.
But this effort of Uncle Sam to enable
sheep raisers in America to compete with
more favored climates has not injured
woolen goods manufacturers simply. It
has largely increased the price of winter
clothing for everybody, has scarcely ben
Gifted any number of laborers to any ex-
tent, and in spite Of it the number of
sheep raised in the United States has only
slightly increased, and has largely dimin-
ished in Iowa, Indiana, New York, Penn
sylvania, Michigan and Ohio In Ne
braska the number has only slightly in
creased, and California and Texas are the
only states showing a decided increase

Voorhees, Supports the President.

Senator VOORHEES, said to an Enquirer
representative that he was preparing
a speech on the tariff question and the
presidents message, which he proposes to
deliver on the floor of the senate the very
first day the senate convenes, if he can get
the opportunity.
''Will the speech indorse the message?'
eyes, every word of it, and the people
indorse it, too," answered the senator.
In this connection it can be stated that
nearly every Indiana Democrat here who
is close to the senior senator from that
state. says that President Cleveland is
anxious to have Mr.. voorhees, nominated
for the second place on the presidential
ticket next summer. They intimate also
that this arrangement was practically de-
cided upon when the president visited
Terre Haute last fall and saw how
sincerely and spontaneously VOORHEES,
was greeted when he arose to introduce
the president to his people. Mr.. Cleve-
land, they say, realized how very popular
and near the senator is to the people of
Indiana, and they make no secret of the
alleged fact that Mr.. Cleveland wants
Senator VOORHEES, to have the nomination
for the vice presidency on the ticket next
fall with himself. Washington Cor. Gin

New Way of Earning Money.

A new method of earning money has
been adopted by women in Boston. It is
to organize classes in literature and his
tory which are to meet and listen to read
ings. The reader receives members into
the circle at stated price for each per-
son. These are not lectures, you will OBJ
serve. There may be now and then a
thread of comment, but not much of it is
heard. The instructor selects topic;
and then reads extracts relating to it, and
calculating it from sources which she finds
in authorship. There is labor in this, and
when the work is well done the result is
somewhat equivalent to a lecture. Large
classes are gathered in this way, and there
are more than one of them. The members
read by themselves in the intervals be-
tween the readings by the instructor. La
dies known in society adopt this method
of adding to their incomes. There have
long been classes of ladies to be instructed
in the game of whist in Boston. A
daughter of an ex-governor of the state,
who is q skilled whist player, has had as
much as she could do at this work in the
winter season. She takes three ladies to-
gether, and plays the fourth hand her.
self, thus teaching them the points Of the
game and correcting their errors as it pro-
gresses.-Boston Cor. Hartford Courant.

Manning's Marvellous Memory.

Another thing which gave Mr.. Man
ming an advantage over most men was
his wonderful memory. One winter at
Nassau a banker from Chelsea, Mass,
came into the room, saying he had just
found an old book containing piece he
used to recite at school. Mr.. Manning
asked to hear it, and then to hear it a
second time. After the second recital
Mr.. Manning said: ''You do not repeat
it the same" Some little discussion en-
suing, Mr.. Manning continued, "I give
you my word as man I've never heard
the thing before, yet If Mr.. Uline will
read it twice aloud, I'll wager you can
repeat it better than you can. !"
The piece was read, and then Mr.. Man
ming repeated it with absolute correct
ness, syllable for syllable.
When the banker expressed some doubt
about Manning's not having heard it bo-
fore, the latter offered to repeat any piece
of the same length which the banker
might choose, after it had been read three
times. And what is more, he accom-
plished the feat. This mental trait en-
abled Mr.. Manning to recall, almost ver-
batim, at any time, reports, motions, reso-
lutions and anything else he had read
months before.-Albany Argus.

How the Blind "See,o

also asked those who became blind in
youth, or later, whether they were in the
habit of giving imaginary faces to the
persons they met after their blindness,
and whether they ever saw such in their
dreams.
Some answered in very vague terms,
but several undoubtedly make good use
of this power. probably somewhat ON the
same basis as we imagine the appearance
of eminent men of whom we have read or
heard, but whose features we have never
seen. When we remember how erroneous
such impressions often are, we can under
stand how it often misleads the blind.
Such imaginary faces and scenes also
enter into their dreams, but to a less ex-
tent than into those of the sighted. Doc
tor Kitto quotes a letter from a musician
who lost his sight when Is years old, but
who retains very strong visualizing
power, both in waking life and in dreams.
The mention of famous man, of a
friend, or Of a scene, always carries with
it visual picture, complete and vivid.
Moreover, these images of his friends
change as the friends grow old; and he
feels himself intellectually in no way diff
ferent from the seeing Princeton
Review.

Randall and Carlisle.

Long ago, and when the Democrats were
but q mere handful in the house, Randall
and Carlisle stood shoulder to shoulder in
many hot parliamentary fight, and
shoulder to shoulder resisted and baff1ed
many partisan attempt at vicious legis-
lation. 1t was in those days of radical
intolerance and prescription that their
friendship was first formed, and, as a mat
ter of course, and because of inborn and
sterling qualities of the two men, the
more they were thrown together, the more
they saw of each other, and the more they
had to do with one another, the more this
friendship was cemented, deepened and
expanded. 1t was very natural and
thoroughly honest and disinterested.-

The Home of the Negro.

If there is any place in the United
States where the negro is known and ap-
preciated that place is the south. The
people of the north, for political reasons,
have made great professions of friendship
for the negro, but the fact remains that
the negroes who are so unfortunate as to
live in the north are subjected to more
humiliations and insults in week than
they would receive at the south in ten
years.-Atlanta Constitution.
