the points OF the political compass?
C.-By standing facing in all direc-

What is political economy?
C.-Runnlng in sure district.
P.-But theoretically speaking?
C.-Theoretically speaking, political
economy is book.
P.-Of what does it treato
COT Adam Smith and political
economy.
P.-Very good. Now, different parts
or the earth's surface produce different
things; and, by an oversight, these are
not governed in variety by political
crossing with good grace to the mount

splendid figure?
Chat when we do not find thing
at home we must go after it.
P.-AS. for instance. for what?
Gas. for instance. for peace, and
poker, and
fP.-But where do we go for commodi-
ties? Can you tell?
aC.-Why, certainly. We go to Paris
for perfumes, Belgium for bells

is it NOT?

P.-Tery good. Or, rather. we used
to go to Cypress; but now we can 90 for
copper to various places in our own
country, can we not?
C.-Certainly.
P.-But we won't get any copper. A
syndicate of Frenchmen has bought up
all the American copper; so if we want
copper we must still go to Cypress.
C.-Why, certainly.
P.-But, after we get it we cannot
bring it into this country because of
115 per cent tariff. We shall be obliged
to return to the Frenchmen and pay two
prices for our own copper. May we
consider this to be tough?
Give may.
P.-And what does this example about
copper show us?
C.-That we ought never to copper

which takes the name of the town
itself.
Flfth-All the conferences of the So
clety are united by council general.
1t will be observed that no pledges
are demanded, no initiation fee re-
Qulred, and no dues eXacted. Each
gives voluntarily what he can. The
collection box is passed around, as in
church, and no member knows the
amount Of his brothers contribution.
- The st. Vincent de Paul society does
not cohtine itself exclusively to visiting
the poor and sick and aiding them,
though this is the chief work of the So
Getty, Any act of Christian charity;
any OF the spiritual or temporal works
0fmercy, is within the province of the
association and will meet with its hearty
support and encouragement The grand
opJectof the society is to organize
CHARITABLE WORK,
to distribute carefully and only to the
needy and those really requiring aid,
the aims of the members and those who
make them the channel of their good
works; Every case of distress brought
TO the knowledge of the conference is
investigated, and if genuine and within
the means of the society, is relieved.
Members do not give from their own
pockets directly, but through the asso-
etlation's, and in most cases tickets for
bread, meat or other food are given in
stead of cash, so that the tempta-
tIon to squander the aims of
tne poor is greatly leSsened.
Besides the st. Vincent de Paul society,
OF the cathedral parish, there are con-
ferences connected with st. Mary's,
st. JoSeph'S and st. MichaeTs churches.
these conferences are all in flourish

silent, work in relieving the misery and
distress of our city.
The Cathedral conference is the larg-
est, as well as the Oldest, in the city,
containing membership, active and
honorary, of eighty. 1t meets every

More full parti culars of the unfortu-

in Walla Walla received a letter from
there few days ago which states that
there were some five persons in the
house when the slide Occurred-Mrs.
Brisky, three children and Rev. Biggs.
Mr.. Brisky was some distance from the
house chOpping wood. He was called
to by two men who lived on the oppo-
site side of the gulch in a shack. and
the moving mass was pointed out to
him. He ran toward their Shanty i'm the
direction OF the house and was himself
caught in the avalanche of SHOW and
buried to the knees, it having crossed
the gulch. OF the five persons who were
in the house, Mrs. Brisky and Rev.
Biggs were killed, and the children.
strange to say, escaped with their lives.
MIR. BriSky moved up to that place from
klickitat county last fall. He had some

Triple Expansion Engines.

81. DANES Gazette.
An interesting example of the yaIue
of triple expansion engines as compared
with compound was exhibited on the
Clyde or Saturday on the trial of the
Orient liner Cuzco, which has recently
been thoroughly renovated by the Fair
field Shipbuilding and Engineering
company and furnished with new boil,
erS working to Il pressure of $50 pounds
to the inch, and with triple expansion
engines of the most approved type. The
Cu2cO IS seventeen years old, and has
hitherto been regarded as 4 12L5-knot
boat. On Saturday she was tried on the
measured mile for 4 six hours run, when
she attained speed of IL knots and made
upward of u revolutions per inmate.
This increase i'll speed was accompanied
with the usual economy in coal con-
sumption, and the incident is remark
able on account of the success with
which the power of the new engines has
developed high speed in vessel the
model of which is comparatively obSo-

keeping pace with the growth in popu
lation. For instance, the total con-
sumption last year was about 3, loo. 600
bags, all increase of 400, 200 bags over
the previous year, and exceeding the
consumption of five years ago by more
than 100000 bags
Assuming that 100000 bags of pc a.
nuts were consumed last year, what
does that represent in mOney?'
swell, in round numbers it means
the consumption of 100,O00,OOO quarts.
and at the regular price charged by re-
tailers and vendors, which is 10 cents
per quart, it shows that peanut eaters
paid S10,000,000 to crafty their liking.
Probably Onc-half of this sum is clear
profit to the retailers, as the value of
the crop to the growers is estimated at
less than S2.0O0,000.
''Where does the supply come from?''
''AlmOst wholly from Virginia, Ten
nesSee and North Carolina. Virginia is
the banner peanut-growing state, aver
aging 100000 bushels yearly. Ten
nessee comes next with an average of
100000 bushels, and North Cardinals
production averages 100000 bushels.
The estimated supply for 1888 is $780,
900 bushels, which includes the nearly
60D.000 bushels of last years crop which
still remain in the Market

A Circus Man Before a King.

1t is not often that circus ''artistes"
find their way into the realms of a South
African native chief; but when they do
it would seem that their reception is
likely to be very enthusiastic. A
''strong man" from a Cape Town circus
recently journeyed to the far-off regions
of Ama-SwaZiland, and there gave dis
play of his skill and power before the
Chief Umbandini at his ''great place"
So pleased was Umbandi with the perfor-
nance that he forthwith dictated tes-
timOnlal gratis. Here it Is: 1--WE gladly
certify that you have performed at our
Royal Kraal, Swaziland, on rings. poles,
chairs, and sticks; that you have also
played with an iron tree, and also car
ried large cannon on your back, and
fired it off your back in our presence.
We were astoniShed and gratified at the
wonderful acts that you and your little
son have performed. We do not believe
that you will ever die, Given at our

Tie New York Republican con.
ventcH vas an augury of success
such ss has not been Witnessed in
that State for years. Ii is remarka
bic that in State representing SO
many aggressive elements in party
politics and with SO many diverse
views, that such entire harmony
and good spirit should prevail. The
four delegates at large to the Ma
tionzl convention were selected on
one ticket and by reclamation. THIS
is certainly q remarkable evidence
OF Republican harmony and a Re-
publican desire for success in the
Empire State. 1t is doubtful if in
any other State IN the Union where
there was no local candidate who
had made a request, that four dele
gates at large could be selected by
reclamation. But thors was q free
and frank conference with all the
Republican leaders and a general
desire that the Empire State should
present a united and harmonious
front at the National convention,
and the feeling that now the party
needed every vote in the State and
could not afford to encourage or
permit factional quarrels and dis
sensiens. So the party begins the
campaign in New York With feel
ing OF confidence because 1t is united
and harmonious. The party in
New York has been noted in the |
past Tor the intensity of its politi, 8
IN the lire OF rival factions. The

leaders, each with an enthusiastic
following. 1t was very natural that
with such aggressive and positive
men in the party there should he
strife for pre-eminence and conse-
9uent disappointment and bitterness
for the defeated. But this year the
leaders, without regard TO previous
utilization or fractional preferences,
have ioined together with the com
mon purpose Of carrying the State
for the Republican candidate. AL
though Mir. Depe~ WAS clearly the
'avorite of 5 large part OF the Con
rentIon and OF nearly all OF the

The Ocean in storm.

There is no grander sight than a storm
on the ocean, nor one that offers so great a
contrast to the laughing blue waters in
their gentler moods. The sea that but
yesterday toyed and spiashed its harmless
waves in play against the vessels side, to-
day, dull and somber, heaves with fury its
seething masses in awful power. Clean
ing white crests, like the red capes of
anarchy, excite the rebellious subjects of
Old Ocean to fury, and they rush about,
dull, gray and forbiddine, terrible in their
resistless might, rejecting in the great
troughs and swelling heights the rage of
the contending skies above 1t is an ex-
hilarating sensation to stand on the bow of
a bounding vessel, as it rises to surmount
some great billow or dashes in mass OF
foam through the heart of an opposing
sea The pulse viii quicken, the breast
will heave and high thoughts and noble
impulses be born in the presence of the
greatest of the manifestations Of Almighty
powers. 1t seems to Lac that when ones
time comes to die, death in the midst of
dashing waters and shrieking winds, a
death in the very presence of Natures
God, would be grand end, death worthy
of a man-Eorest and Stream
