Where the Tourist. Come Ftnn,.

Some pains have been taken Of late years
by statisticians and parties interested to as
certain approximately how many tourists
annually enter Switzerland While tbs
figures are found to vary somewhat from
year to year, owing to financial depression,
political uncertainties Or the existence of
temporary attractions, such as the French
exposition, the Victoria jubilee, etc, else
where, yet it is pretty accurately determined
that the yearly number Of pilgrims TO this
Alpine Mecca averages about quarter of q
million. OF this enormous army Of tourists
four-ffths come from England, Germany,
the United States, France and Italy, England
alone sending 80 per cent. Of the whole num-
Der and the other countries proportionately
in their order as given
About thirteen In every huYdred are from
the United States, which, considering the
long journey across tee Atlantic, is a large
ratio as compared with the ten in every hun-
dred sent by adjacent France. How steadily
the percentage of American tourist travel in
Switzerland has grown Of late years is evil
denced by the fact that in 1861, the Cnited
States was tenth on the list Of countries re-
presented; in 1871 the fifth; in 1851 the
fourth, and HOW, as above stated, the third,
and a close second; Germany and England
being the only competitors in excess. 1t is
also Of interest TO know that in every thou
sand summer tourists who pass through
Switzerland, far off Australia is represented
by ten, Africa by eight and Asia by SIX. But
John Bull is largely in the majority every
where. On the quays az Zurich, Lucerne or
Geneva, along the dizzy footpaths Of the
Jungfrau or the Metterhorn, on the steamer
decks at Vevey or Thun, in the railway
acknowledgement, he jostles you at
every turn, and challenges your mute adj

which he addresses everybody or anybody,

seasa o stormy Wind, thy wailing!
Cease thy roaring, restless sea!
All night long thy pillows beating,
Like strong souls IN agony.
On the tempest, landward sweeping,
Sailor voices come to me-
And see close reefed vessel
Tossing on an angry sea-
Long watched her IN the citing,
TIL the night shut down the day
SIeepless watchers still are waiting
For their kindred long away;
Peering through the stormy Darkness
With their weary, anxious eyes,
Watching, waiting, hoping. fearing,
While the waters higher rise.
Cease, o cease, thou roaring ocean!
Hear you not my bitter cry'
Ger my loved your waters rolling.
In your sunless caves they lie.
And my eyes o'eraow with weeping
When hear those pillows moan
Oh, the hearts that thou hast broken,
Only to their God are known

Reducing the surplus.

question has our attention, and that Is
the reduction of the Surplus COnsump-

marked decrease in the mortality from
this dreaded disease, and it Is possible
to still further reduce the number OF

There is some talk of contestlng the
seats of our Democratic congressman
elect in this State. OF course, there IS
no ground for a contest, if We may
judge from this district, but as the Re-
putlicans claim the House, and as
they have hitherto never troubled
themselves much about the reasons
when they wanted to accomplish a
partisan purpose, the leaders here
take it for granted that no reasons will
be needed to unseat LOuisiana's Re-
representatives.. They forget that times
have changed materially since the
days of reconstruction, and ever the
party that once ruled this neck OF the
! woods with an iron rcd has o got
to proceed cautiously in these ques-
tons of the rights of a people to self
government, lest it should outrage the
sense of independence and patriotism
of the whole American Union.

Sanity in CHRISTIAN science.

and have withdrawn allegiance
ashamed. Its rapiu spread was due to
that peculiarly of human nature that
finds truth to bold assumption of super
natural power, and infinitely prefers
the ipse diXit of charlatan to the care
full, thorough truth-telling physician.
One of these quacks, at the time in
immense practice in London. once con-
suited the great Abernethy for some
personal ailment. Curious to know the
secret of his success in attracting eli
ents the surgeon asked him if he knew
why he had.sO many more patients thar
any regular physician. Drawing Aber
nethy to the window, he pointed to the
surging crowd OH the street below and
asked: doctor, of every hundred per-
sons who pass this window how many
do you suppose are educated people
capable of approaching study and cu1ti-
walton in others?"
perhaps ten," answered the surgeon.
Exactly" rejoined the charlatan.
"Well. you get those ten; the rest come
