from the liverpool P0St")
Mr.. Froude'S new boOk on the West
Indies will be almost as popular as
"OceanH.' In the winter Of last year he
spent about two months in our West
Indian possessions, and at Cuba, and he
records his impressions of their social life,
of their physical features, and political
condition with picturesque power and
vig0ur. Mr.. FrOude is always taking up
the parable against democracy and OratO.
rical statesmen. He has discovered now
that orators who are statesmen have
never been aiming at anything except dis
t%inction. Even DemOStheneS and Cicero
did not understand their OWN times, and
the only political orator who has shown
any capacity for governing was Lord
Chatham. In these structures on rhetorical
politicians we all see at what Mr.. FrOude
is driving. When he speaks of Cicero he
really means Mr.. Gladstone. But if We
do not always like the instruction of the
politician, we can always enjoy MIR.
Froude'S brilliant descriptions Of what he
sees. Mr.. Froude's descriptions are more
agreeable than his political disQuisitiOnS.
His interest in the West Indies is patriO.
tic and historical. They are, he says, the
earliest, ard once the most priced Of our
distant poSSeSSions, and have been the
scene Of some of our greatest naval vic
tories. Mr.. Froude, indeed, gives an ami
mated description of Rodney's great vic
tory over the French Admiral, DeGraSse.
The publication of the book will attract
atteption to the condition of the West
India Islands. Mr., FrOude has a great
horror Of a democratic negro suffrage. If
the islands are to be prosperous, they
must be governed by the mother country,

there are high, higher and highest things.
Food. raiment, art, architecture, the pur-

life is more than meat, and the body is

truth is higher than the temple, consecra-

that he was very sorry to hear that the habit
of lying had grown SO prevalent among
us, and earnestly advised us to quit it as a
step toward reformation. There is an old
saying to the effect that liar is worse than
thief, for while you may be using proper
precautionary measures to prevent the dep
radiation of the latter. the former will get
in his work every time in spite of every eff
fort made to prevent it. The rigorous en-
forcement OF Rule places a premium on
lying and tends to encourage deceit and. as
l.. NJ. says, weeks, months. and years of
practice make an adept at deceptiOn-the
habit is fixed.
Let us suppose that man of ordinary in
telligence, in good health, and of sound
intellect were to pass say two years here,
during which time the silent system was
rigidly enforced. DO you think that he
would 60 forth with an intellect wholly un-
impaired? | think not. and venture to as
sert that an expert On insanity would after
investigation arrive at the same conclusion.
How much worse then is the case of the
men and boys who are unable to read and
write. and who have no other employment
during the fourteen or sixteen hours they
are confined in their cells than to mediate
over their misfOrtunes? Strong, indeed,

Tale Of Il Doomed CITY.

1t was in the latter part of May, 1878, one
beautiful morning, that landed at the foot
of Jackson square, New Orleans. in the
vicinity of the French market. from the
deck of one of those steamers which make
weekly trips between the Crescent City and
Cedar Keys, Florida. in which latter state l
had been spending the winter months. Very
picturesque and foreign is the sight of this
part of the city to the eye of stranger; but
as it has been so often described by various
writer's l will forego any views of mine on
the subject. The first thing l sat about on
my arrival was to secure a comfortable
room in some convenient locality. for had
come to stay; and after few hours search
found desirable lodgings on Custom House
street, near Bierville, at very reasonable
rate. l was indeed stranger in strange
land and having no letters of introduction
at first felt somewhat lost, but southerners
are proverblally hospitable people. and
especially 50 in New Orleans; so in a few
days | began to feel at home. My efforts
to obtain employment were not crowned
with success. but as l was fairly we'll
''heeled" and the weather was beginning to
get very warm l did not exert myself so
much in that direction as might otherwise
have been the case Everybody seemed lazy
and inclined to take it easy, and l did not
ind 1t difficult to fall into the same groove.
My favOrite rendezvous in the day time
used to be the Crescent Hall billiard room,
which occupies nearly whole block on the
corner of st. Charles and Canal streets, and
with which many of the readers of this
story are no doubt we'll acquainted. for at the
time OF which write do not believe there
,,ciV ,alx h<,I
room OF Its kind in this country. Billiards
and pool in any form having always had an
attraction for me, and being little above
the average for an amateur, found these
rooms pleasant place to pass the heat of
the day, and after awhile became acquainted
with several others who we're, like myself,
strangers in the city, and who had been at
tracted to the Crescent Hall by the excel
lence and comfort of its fittings and the
genial atmosphere which pervaded it.
There were, think, seven of US in all
that formed sort OF clique. and met there
every day. Three of them from the north
like myself, two Louisianians and one..from
Kentucky. The latter. who will call
Harry Miner. was the life and soul of the
party. About twenty-four years of age,
good looking. naturally witty, and we'll
read, fine all-rOund sportsman, generous
to fault, but an inveterate gambler.
Aside from frontier and mining towns
there is, think, no city in the United
States where gambling is so extensively and
openly conducted as in New Orleans; and
any one who is familiar with Royal and St.
Charles streets will attest the truth of this
statement. One might walk for several
blocks on the former street any still evening
before he would be out of hearing of the cry
of the keno dealer and the rattle of chips

A FAvoRTE employment of the Re
publican press is to misrepresent the
Democratic position on the tariff. This
is very neatly marked by their treatment
Of the question Of free wool. They are
never tired of reiterating that the Demo
Gratis say to the wool-grower eve create
market for your WOOL and to the
manufacturer, 1--WE give you cheap
wool" This is a smart, ad captandum
way of putting the matter, but there is
great deal OF insincere thimblerig in it
The fact is that, under protective tariff
wool has been for years steadily de-
creasing in price, and for the reason that
a high scale Of duties has prevented the
importation Of the long stspled foreign
wools which are needed to intermix with
the short stapled American woods. The
manufacturer has had to pay SO much,
under high protection, for these
foreign wools that his operations
have been cramped, he has manufactured
relatively little and there has thus been
a diminished demand for the American
short wool staple. 1t is under this artif-
cial condition Of things that the price has
declined for the home staple. Once
admit the long stapled foreign wools free
Of duty and our wool manufactures will
be vivifed, we will be able to compete
in the markets OF the world; and, as a
result, there will be steady and in.
creased demand for American wools for
admixture. Slowly and surely, under
the sagacious Democratic policy, our
wool growing interests would regain
their old time prosperity. These are
not the views of theoretical newspaper
writer's. They were had in view when
Grover Cleveland wrote his message, and
they were expressed by John II. Wise,
one OF the greatest of our California
wool commission merchants, in an
interview with newspaper reporter.
One thing is certain, and that is that our
wool interests could not possibly be more
depressed than they are now under pro-
lection, while they might be very much
improved 1t is certainly worth while to
take the chances. That great injury has
been done to the wool men by Republi-
can Misrepresentation of the facts and
of the future cannot be doubted, but those
who have stampeded their sheep on the
market through false and gloomy stories
Of coming disaster have only themselves
to blame. The Democratic policy will
really revivify dying industry if it lies
in human ability to do it. Wool selling
for nothing under high protective tariff
certainly calls for some radical and dras,
tic measure of relief. Experiment in
such a case is the true wisdom.

Mr.. WooDBURNE, Of Nevada, seems to
have forgotten the old adage that whom
the Gods would destroy they first make
mad. As he failed to receive the renom-
ination of his party for Congress in the
Sagebrush State, he might have dropped
out Of public life without any special
note. But he could not resist the oppor-
tunity of being brayed as in a mortar,
and he essayed a contest of wit with Sunset
Cox. As a result, Mr.. Woodburne re-
sembles very much the tailings which
have for years flowed from the mills OF
his own fayorite Comstock. The versa
tile and brilliant New Yorker ground
him as between the upper and neither
milestone. And yet it is something even
to have been the inspiration for one of
Cox's witty and merciless efforts. The
Nevada statesman has served to point a
moral and adorn a tale in the Congress
sional annals.
