THE coCkRoACH.


IN Unwelcome Importation from the
sunny Lands of Asia.
Comparatively few people know that
this familiar of the kitchen is not bv
any means native of these chimes.
1t is an importation from the warm
and sunny lands OF Asia, brought over,
perhaps, something like two centuries
ago. The first arrivals must have
reached this country rs stowaways on
board ship, and finding themselves in
congenial surroundings. they multi
piled apace. Now they seem almost
everywhere. but for long time after
they swarmed in the kitchens of town
houses they were unknown in the
country. No doubt if they had been
natives of a similar climate they would
have quickly reached even remote viii
lagos, out they fortuna ely have deli
cate constitutions and can not stand
exposure to cold. Many people must
have noticed that it Is only in hot
summer weather that they are seen
FAR away from the warmth of the
,itehen fire. 1t is this need for a high
temperature which causes them Ia
concentrate where it is most constant
y maintained. Cool larders and pan-
tries are comparatively secure against
heir attacks, in spite of the fact tina,
hey would find better fare therein
Than the crumbs and particles upon
he kitchen floor. Their common de.
,eription as horrible black beetles
IS u curious misnOmer. They are not
lack, nor are they beetles; the only
art OF the description which is at al
pplicab.e to them is the epithet '.hor
BILE with which few will QUARREL

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

] New 1OrK 1TeSS.
The american Economist hauls F, W.
Taussig over the Goals for defining the
true end of protection to young industries
as the supply of the commodity at aprice
below that of the foreign article:
Low prices on commodities" says
the Economist, "do not imply anything
whatever as to the prosperity of either
the producers or the consumers. They
only measure ratio between money
and things. The test of prosperity is
| the decline of the ratio which the aver
age cost of means of subsistence bears
to average value of labor, time and the
average time profits on capital, and the
increasing ratio which the portion of
means applicable to secondary and So
cial wants bears to our whole income,
"This advance may be greatest when
the prices of the commodity they pro-
duce are furthest from having yet reach
ed stage in which it underSells the for
eign. Bessemer steel is down within a
few dollars of the price at which the
rails may undersell the foreign. The
10 1uCAJlCdl WIFI
the price of foreign rails landed at Chi
cago free of duty. But the workers
who make them are not rendering as
useful work to the country as when the
manufacture was in course of introduc-
tion, because they are not now meeting
so imperative and pressing demand as
then. Hence, out of their compensation
larger percentage goes to mere sub
sistence, and a smaller percentage to
savings-to the house and its furnish
ings, to the mental culture of the work
er and his advancement in life"
The creation of new industries from
time to time, such as would follow a
high duty on tin plate, for instance,
would not only maintain the ratio of in
crease of diversity of production, but
counteract this effect of competition on
wages,

BLACK-KNOT.

Pittsburgh Stockman.
We again call attention to the absolute
necessity of cutting off and burning every
part of the plum and cherry trees affected
with black-knOt.
There is no other remedy that can be
depended on, and the malady, if left to
itself, invariably results in the death of
the trees. Not only this, but the spores
or Seed-fine dust almost invisible to the
naked eye-are carried by the winds to
other trees in the vicinity; and so the bad
work goes on. The disease has been al
lowed to spread until it has reached near
ly every part of the country; and neglect
means the ruin of all the plum trees, and
the mOrelle cherry trees as well, and that
in no great length of time.
A visitor in the northern part of Perry
county. Ohio. where the plum is cultivat-
ed extensively, remarked that every tree
he saw was disfigured with knots. In
Fairfield. Muskingum, Hooking, Ross and
other counties it was nearly or quite as
bad.
There is no mystery about the disease
now. 1t is not the work of an insect,
though insects may use it as a repository
for their egg. etc. 1t is fungus and is
propagated by seeds just as truly as trees,
grasses. and other plants not crytogamie.
A strong solution of eopperas in water,
after cutting the knot off the branch, is
said to be sometimes effective; but unless
it is on the body of the tree (Which is not
commOn) or on very large limb, it is
easier to cut off the branch at once; and
every days delay allows the trouble to
spread farther.

THE INFAMY UNFOLDING.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
The charge of the Federal Judge to
the grand jury at Little Rock has al
ready begun to bear fruit. The ballot
box theft in Conway county, it will be
recOllected, was perpetrated for the ex-
press purpose of getting rid of Repub-
lican majority that would elect Clayton
and defeat Breckinridge, the Bourbon
candidate for Congress. 1t was while
Clayton was engaged in hunting up ev-
idence of this theft, with a view to un-
seating Breckenridge, that he was assas-
sinated. 1t has all along been maintain
ed by the local papers best acquainted
with the facts that there was nothing
whatever in the way to prevent the de-
lection and punishment of the guilty
persons except the indispositiOn of the
executive officers to discharge their du-
ties in the premises. This indisposition,
it is well known, was the result of par
tisan sympathy with the thieves and as
SasSinS.
Two witnesses have testified that
party of no less than twenty went from
MorreltOn to Plummerville on the night
of November 6, and on reaching the
town five of them were sent in to recon-
nOiter, and returned with the report that
''all was quiet" When abont half way
home it was learned that the party had
the ballot box, which was the object of
their visit. On reaching MOrrelton the
box and its contents were burned in a
store, the name of the owner of which
was given by the witness. In the ma
rauding party was the Marshal of the
town and other men of prominence.-
This is confirmatory of what has all
along been charged, and it looks now
as if the whole trnth might be divulged.
The principal witness was member of
the gang and testifes to what he heard.
Arkansas justice is very uncertain as
against crimes committed in the inter
est of the Bourbon Democracy, but there
is a hope that the ballot box thieves and
assassins will at least be exposed, if not
punished.

A HUMBLE HERO.

New York Tribune.
A heroic deed, which saved one life
at the cost of another, was done in Jer-
sey City recently. Patrick McTamany,
for twenty years an employs of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, had just opened
a switch for freight car which a loco
motive was rapidly pushing toward him,
when a boy stepped upon the track. He
would have been cut down in an instant,
but McTamany was not afraid to try to
save his life. He sprang in front of the
car, threw the boy aside, and the next
moment was knocked down and ground
to pieces.
The switchman may have hoped to es-
cape, but he was not a novice, and he
must have known what chances he was
taking Even if he acted on impulse,
and without deliberate calculation, the
impulse was sublime. Regardless of
himself, he leaped to save another. But
thought is swifter than car wheels, and
it may well be that McTamany had
time to comprehend the sacrifice he was
making, and was consciously willing to
die at his post. His name belongs upon
the roll of heroes.

WHERE THEY WORSHIP COOKS.

WHERE THEY WORSHIP COOKS.
Such sentiments as these come from
the French gastronomes:
The appetite constitutes the man.
Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you
what you are.
Delicate sensibilities are regulated by
the quality of ones food.
You must not expect a nice sense of
honor from gross feeder.
Gluttony consists in six mouthfuls
too much.
All cooking is barbarous that excludes
onions and lemons.
a dinner without wine is fit for saw
age only.
A touch of garlic often saves a feast.
1t is better to 90 without religion than
the earliest vegetables of the season.
Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo
and the control of Europe, because he
had bad dinner.
Earth furnishes provisions, but heav-
en- sends cooks.
The progress of digestion is the sci
ence of morals.
The final touch which makes a dish
perfect is always an inspiration.
Great cooks, like true poets, are crea-
ted.
The secret of happiness must be
sought within the kitchen.
He who has dined well is a compan-
ion for heroes.
\ dinner without flaw is cOnsum-
mate work of art.
A ba1 a1OIr cbni,Id cor1-a oe aEo
for any amount of wickedneSs.
When you sit down to an unexpected
good dinner you should no longer doubt
that God has answered your prayers.
The wine of Burgundy proves that
France is favored by Nature beyond all
nations.
When Careme is cook your conscience
is absOlved.
A wOodcock, properly dressed, is tri-
umph of culinary art.
Sauces attest the genius of the cook.
Dyspepsia is a disease not native to
France; it is to the body what melan-
eholy is to the mind, and essentially un-
GaIlic.
Unfolding the napkins on a well-ap-
pointed table is like the faint rustic of
the leaves of Paradise.
1t is never safe to admit that your
appetite is good until you know where
you are to dine.
Human life should be indexed by the
best meals one has eaten.
At the crises in mans fate the quail
ity of mans food makes or mars him.
More than half our discOmfOrts and
regret is derived, directly or indirectly,
from unintelligent cooking.

ABLE Ohio statesmen of the Demo-
cratic persuasion, who yearn for an op-
portunity to step into the official shoes
of Senator Payne, are not satisfied with
the old gentleman's mild intimation that
he is not a candidate for the succession.
They, as the Philadelphia Press puts it.,
"seem to think that the Senator has a
"string tied to his declination."

BECAUSE Senator Sherman will take a

MASSACHUSETTS SAYS NO"

New York Mail and Express
| The battle in Massachusetts is over
The amendment has been rejected by
more than 10000 majority. The people
of that Commonwealth do not want
their Constitution to declare that no in
toxicants of any kind shall be made,
sold or used within the limits of the
State.
The details of the vote, so far as they
have been received, show a majority
against prohibition in every Congress
ional district but one, and in every city
but two. Not only in Eastern Massa-
chusettS, where there are large numbers
of foreigners, but in the central and
western parts of the State, where the
voting population is almost all native,
the sentiment seems to have been in IA
vor of local option and high license rath-
er than constitutional prohibition.
The significance of this result should
not be misapprehended 1t does not
mean that majority of the people of
Massachusetts favor free whisky by any
means; it does not even mean necessari-
ly that majority of them do not favor
the prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating beverages. 1t
means that the majority do not believe
that the adoption of constitutional
amendment is the best means of restrict
ing or prohibiting the liquor traffic.
Thousands of those who voted against
the amendment have voted, and will
vote again, against granting licenses to
liquor dealers in their particular cities
and towns.
Friends of temperance, therefore,
need not and should not be discouraged
by this vote. The evils of the liquor
traffic are restricted within comparative
ly narrow limits by the present law in
Massachusetts. The law has been grow
ing more rigorous from year to year, and
as fast as the majOrities can be made
and public sentiment can be brought to
the point of sustaining it, actual prohi-
bition can be enforced under the Local
Option law.

ABOUT five hundred changes in the
railway mail service have been made
since March 4. But there have been
none too many, nor have they been any
too soon. The service, as the Cleveland
administration left it, was in very bad
shape. Complaints came from all parts
of the country, notably through some of
the leading Democratic newspapers of
the South.

OLD HOMES ARE REST.

Prof. Charles Eliot Norton in the May Scribner'S.
If one runs over the list of the persons
known to him he finds very few of more
than forty years old living in the houses
in which they were born. OF the twen-
ty houses built more than fifty years ago
nearest my own, only one is lived in by
the family by which it was originally Oe-
cupied, while most of the others have
had numerous successive owners or ten
ants. OF my own friends near my own
age there are but two OF three anywhere
who live in the houses which their faith
ers occupied before them. This lack of
hereditary homes-hOmeS of one family
for more than one generation-is nov
el and significant feature of American
society. In its effect on the disposition
of the people and on the quality of our
civilization it has not received the at
tention it deserves.
The conditions which have brought
about this state of things are obvious.
The spirit of equality, and the practices,
in regard to the distribution
of property, that have resulted from it;
the general change in the standards of
living arising from the enormous devel-
oment of the natural resources of the
country, and the consequent unexam-
pied diffusion of wealth and material
comfort; the rapid settlement of our i'm
mense territory, and the astonishing
growth of our old as well as of our new
cities, have been unfavorable to the ex-
istence of the hereditary home.
There is scarcely a town in the long
settled parts of the Northern States
from which considerable portion of its
people has not gone out in the course of
the past fifty years TO seek residence
elsewhere. Attachment to the native
soil. affection for the home of ones
youth, the claims of kindred, the bonds
of social duty, have not proved strong
enough to resist the allurements of hope,
the fair promiee of bettering fortune,
and the love of adventure. The increas-
ing ease and the vast extension of means
of communication between distant parts
of the country have promoted the move
ment of the population.

THE Secretary of State is to be COM
mended for refusing to incorporate the
Saloon Keepers Association of Hamil-
ton. The articles of incorporation as
presented to him gave as one of the OBJ
jects of the association "to protect fts
members against oppressive laws" Its
evident purpose was to fight the enforce
ment of the liquor laws, and as such an
object is unlawful it would manifestly
be contrary to public policy to sanction
such an organization by Incorporating it.

THE advantages of Arbor Day are pro-
claimed by the fact that when it was first
observed in Nebraska, seventeen years
ago, 100000 trees were planted, and
there are now growing in that once large
ly barren State 6O5,0O0,O00 trees. So we
learn that 100000 acres of valueless land
on the Bay of Biscay were planted with
trees by Bremontier, which now yield to
France an annual income of a hundred
and thirty million francs.

THE ROSES BY THE RUN.


The roses and the clover
Are very sweet and fair,
And ! love the fragrant OdOrs
They breathe upon the air;
But sweeter seems the blossoms
Beside the meadow run,
The time that you were twenty
And was twenty-One.
How fOndly remember
The time We cuIled them there,
And meath the shady naples
wOve them in your hair;
How there i'll bliss we tarried
Until the set of sun,
The time that you were twenty
And l was twenty-One.
1t may have been the flowers,
Perhaps a look from thee,
That bade me whisper softly
How dear thou vert to me;
Inever stopped to question,
only know twas done,
The time that you were twenty
And was twenty-One.
We We had our summer, darling,
The fields of life are brown,
We We Travelled up the hillside,
We re on our journey down;
Yet oft l wake from dreaming
Those days have just begun
That you again are twenty
And l am twenty-One.
When life and love are over,
And l am lald at rest,
hope some one will gather
And place upon my breast
Such f1Ow'rS as used TO blossom
Beside the meadow run,
The time that you were twenty
And l was twenty-one.
