We have received from Messrs Houghton,
Miflin & Co.. of Boston, beautiful new
portrait of the poet Whittier which was
finished just as he completed his eghtieth
year. 1t represents him in his beautiful old
age, yet seems the portrait of a man little
more than sixty. To Mr.. Whittier's intimate
friends this is much the most satisfactory
portrait of him that has ever been made it
presents his features and characteristic ex-
preston with remarkable accuracy. 1t is
cause for congratulation that so good a
portrait has been secured of a man so dis
tinguished as poet and philanthropist, and
embodying so many of the highest qualities
of American manhood, and one held in so
affectionate reverence and respect by the
American people. The portrait is life-size,
and to secure its widest distribution is sold
for 81 90.

The Game Outlook in IcnSnS.

There is every reason to hope that
the game season Of 1883 will bo the
best Tensas has had for number OF
years. For years there has been no
overflow and the forests are DOW well
filed with deer; bears are numerous in
the north western portion OF the parish
and will afford excellent sport to the
hunter who cares to brave The fatigue
and hard work attending such hunting.
Occasionally wild turkeys are found,
but as yet are scarcely in sufficient
numbers to promise very successful re-
turns to the sportsman.
The extraordinarily large quantity
OF corn, peas, oats etc, which has beeu
planted should insure the presence of
any number of geese and ducks next
fall.
AT the expiration of the close season
pariridges can be found in greater mum
bers than at any time within our recol-
lection, and the devo,cc Of this Kind Of
shooting anticipates large bags,
Nor is the festive Jack sDipu to he

our low lands, and it is all the more
desirable as n game bird from the fact
that however few in mum Der they may
come, still the shooting j. good, foI

Methodist Nuns arc to be "a novelty

that was done by the conference, but
the Impression is that the Methodist
nuns will wear distinctive costumes,

A PRESIDENTIAL IGNORAMUs.
The Man Who Done Know Within 5000 Ar
ticies What the Tariff L..

New lOrk tribune.
at is about time to dispose Of one Democrat
ic stock cry-that duties are collected upon 4, 00C
different articles under the existing tariff. Dem
ocratic orators and editors are fond OF this, be-
cause they want TO give the impression that
this 'iniquitous' tariff reaches out ito arms in
every direction, and lays all forms of industry
under tribute. Now the fact IS, as the inquir-
ing reader may find by reference to the com
msrce and navigation report for 1886.
the latest detailed figures yet available. that the
articles upon which duties were collected during
that year numbered only 982. or less than one
fourth Of the number claimed. This is . most
significant showing. The number Of articles on
the free list WAS increased by the tariff Of 1888,
Republican measure. to more than 300, or al
most exactly one-third the number OF articles
that paid duty in 1886; and this latter number
does not vary materially from year to year.
Another fact Of great Importance bearing
upon this effort OF the Democrats to give the
impression that the tariff has endless ramidca-
tons and inflicts enormous complications upon
commerce, may be also briefly stated. The
report Of the Secretary Of the Treasury shows
that Of 1912 032 4A customs duties collected dur
ing the last fiscal year. $l47. IA, 1924 or about
seven-tenths of the whole, were collected from
seven classes of artcles-suRar. iron and steel.
wool, silk, tobacco. with the manufactures OF
them, glass and fruit. All the remaining articles
produced but $64, 284, 800 This shows that =
vast proportion Of the effect of the tariff is felt
upon . small number Of articles. If the
1000 articles existed they would not have room
TO turn around in, after sevep-tenths Of the
revenue had been deducted for only seven
articles.

The Welsbach Incandescent Gas-lieht Com
pany gave an exhibition At % South Meridian
street last night for the benefit Of the City
Council and the Board of Aldermen. Several
chandeliers and side lamps were fitted up with
the Wesbsch burners on them and natural and
artificial gas turned on The test was quite
satisfactory TO all the spectators, natural-gas
jet with Wslsbsch burner burning
two and half feet an hour.
Those of the Council who were present ex-
pressed themselves as highly satisfied with the
test Mayor Denny and Councilman Thalman
thought the light frst-class. The company is
going to make q proposition to the Counsel TO
light the streets with natural gas by the aid Of
the Welsbach burner. They claim that the old
gas posts can be used, and that, with the pur-
city can still be done cheaper than by electricity
or by artificial gas.
