EOrsf's Old Theatrr.

Abraham Linco was assassinated in
Ford's Theater. and the building is now oc-
cupied.by branch of the Surgeon-Generars
Office Originally the edifce was erected
for church, q Baptist society, and for many
years they worshiped there. Since the
great tragedy the building has been con-
verted into Government Office and medi-
cal museum. As Government Office, II is
a travesty upon hygiene. The Surgeon
General is the chief medical officer of the
army. and yet that branch of his Office is al
most National disgrace. 1t was the same
under former Surgeon-Generals, and will be
under the successor of the present incum-
bent, who will soon be retired on account of
age The building is dark and noisome.
1t is without q cellar, and the floor rests
upon the ground. The records OF the med
ical officers Of the armies are shelved in
alcoves into which the light Of day never
comes Clerks are obliged to search those
records by gas-hght in midday. This Gus.
tom has prevailed for more than twelve
years past How much longer will the in
fanny continue.

The following special hints for inter
course with the bookkeeper were found
in a Broadway business house:
The bookkeeper likes n hearty slap on
the shoulder unawares, especially when
engaged with pen and ruler over the
ledger. His functions being altogether
more ornamental than useful, he will
feel offended If you confine yourself to
business. His favorite topic naturally
remains the weather, but he also keenly
relishes politics, your own inventions,
the cunningness of your dogs and chill
dren, and the general business of man
kind.
You will always be surest of his atten-
ton when he is making out a long state
ment for somebody who is drumming
with his hands and fee to retard his last
train. When you catch him footing up
a heavy column just give him a chance
for rest by confidentially whispering n
nice string of assorted anecdotes into his
ear, the older and longer the better, and
he will never forget you'll To fire his
imagination let him smell your breath
and other exhalations by leaning well
over him.
Don't neglect to deposit your cigar
stumps, ashes and dismissed guilds on
and around his inkstand; it will surround
him with an atmosphere of sociability
which makes him very proud.
The bookkeeper being q gentleman,
you should never be ashamed to ask him
for loans of money, of his umbrella, rub
bers, and his pencil.-Cloak and Suit

The Wecvn and the cut worm, they went as well
The mortgage stayed forever. eating hearty all

And happiness and sunshine made their place

And there came dark Gay among US when the

CURRENT COMMENT.

1t begins to appear, however, that while each
memier Of the protected class earnestly de-
sires that part Of the tariff maintain.d which
protects him, each quite as earnestly wishes to
secure all the free trade he can possibly get in
those things which he imports. Mr.. Wanamak.
ey, whose Zeal for protection in general was as
feryid as is his devotion to what he calls "our
Bethany life, even invoked the aid Of the
courts to enable him to import silk ribbons, not
as s"manufactures Of silk" under high duty,
but as that trimmings" under low duty, a
thing which all the silk manufacturers declare
to be as destructive to their industry as the
rankest free trade could be. And now certain
woollen manufacturers who helped to raise
the cry Of "free trade" when it was pro-
posed to put wool upon the free list by way Of
stimulating wollen manufacturers in this county.
and freeing the people from taxes upon their
clothes, are trying by surreptitious "rulings"
to get considerable measure Of free trade in
raw materials for their own benefit.

For the last three months the news.
papers OF the country, from north to south,
from east to west, have been talking about
a atwine trust" No one seemed to have
any doubts that such trust existed. No
one arose up to deny Il. Prices of iwlne
arose higher Than ever before. At length
the farmers of the Northwest, farmers
alliances, oranges aud other organizations
Of that class who are most injuriously af-
iected by the "trust," began to hold public
meetings to discuss retallatory measures.
Many Of these bodies resolved not 10 buy
twine of the "trus,, but, II necessary, they
would GO back to the old ways Of harvest
Ing, In order to break the atrust." The
"twine trust became alarmed and began
to fear that they had an elephant on their
hands,and that something should be done
to allay the indignation OF the farmers. To
that end they get up and asseverate In the
most solemn manner that there Is ne twine
trust that the advance In price Is owing
to increase In demand, shortage In supply,
the existence Of heavy tariff duty both
upon twlne and the raw material out OF
which Il Is used, etc, Two facts seem we'll
settled first, that there isa twine trust
and that they are alarmed at the attitude
Of farmers In Minnesota, Wisconsin, ,Dake.
Ia aud the Northwest generally. The Ma.
tional cordage Company began as early as
last October to buy up all the twine as wei
as raw material that they could get hold of
claiming that they were moYing In the in
terest Of cheap twlne. The present high
prices show In how good faith they were
acting. As bearing upon this point Il is
proper again 10 refer TO the matter OF put
tinglmanila and slssl hemp on the free list,
upon the former Of which Is duty of $as
per ton and upon the latter duty of SIS
per ton. These two grasses are the raw
material out of which twine Is made. The
removal OF the duty from these two arti.
cles docs not involve the question OF "pro.
lection" to which some men are welded,
for neither 10 grown In this country, hence
ducts to protect. Neither need the tariff
for-revenue man be alarmed as the treasury
I. already overfowing with revenue. There
is ne more good sense In having duty on
these articles than there Is on coffee and
tea, neither Of which Is product OF the
United States. The duty on twinc and
the grasses from which It Is made Is tax Z,
pure, simple aud inexeusable upon the
farmer without any beneficial return what.
ever. II these high duties were removed
Russia hemp twine could be imported,
which would make a competition In trade
that would at once break down the "twine
trust" Farmers in their meetings every
where should make loud demand for
legislation by Congress putting twine and
the grasses out Of which Il is made on the
free list. They nemssisss are AamG6le 10

BUSY MANHATTAN ISLAND.

1t is doubtful II there is buster spot in
the world of the same size than Manhattan
Island. With the year ending with Sep
tsmber the elevated railroads of New York
city carried more than 100000 passen-
gers. And that Is passenger traffic only
four and half million less than the whole
traffic of the German empire for the same
time, with It's $1,000 miles of roads In
Frincs, where there is more travel, the
record Is 2os,a7334o passengers carried
ever her 7o,r44 miles Of road, which is
about IS per cent more than wen: up and
down In New York and wandered 10 and
fro In II during the same time. In this

carried 47s,a7S,sr3 passengers over the
r40,oIs miles Of road but in this were in
ciuded the ITO. .ooo,oos Of New York's In.
