GRAINS OF GOLD.

Handsome apples are sometimes sour.
4 single grateful thought toward heav-
en- is perfect prayer.
Partial culture runs to the ornate; ex-
tTeme culture to simplicity.
Who keepeth his mouth and his tongue
keepeth his soul from trouble.
The feeling of gratitude has all the ar
dor of passion in noble hearts.
Q how bitter a thing it is to look into
happiness through another mans eyes!
We never injure our own character so
much as when we attack those of others.
A life without love is a painted fire;
in vain do you expect light and warmth.
Evil to him who laughs at woman's
sufferings; God shall laugh at his pray
ers.
Satire often proceeds more from ILL
nature than from desire of displaying
wit.
Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire called
conscience.
The three things most difficult are-to
keep a secret, to forget an injury, and to
make good of leisure.
Calumny is the homage of our contem-
poraries, as some South Sea Islanders
spit on those they honor.
The man that works at home helps So
ciety at large with somewhat more GER
tainty than he who devotes himself to
charities.
Don't hurry. Don't fret. Don't wor-
ry. Whatever you have to do, do it
with your might; but don't get into
fever about it.
There is no merit where there is no
trial; and, till experience stamps the
mark of strength, towards may pass for
heroes, faith for falsehood.

TALK ON THE TARIFF.

New York Press
One of the best known and heaviest
importers of wooden goods in this city,
speaking of the classification of worSted
goods yesterday, declared that the strong
est reason for placing imported worsted
goods on the same tariff basis has not. so
far as he had seen, been called attention
to in the public prints. The rule of
similitude," said he, makes it absolute
" imperative. under the rulings of the
court, that worsted goods should have
levied on them the same duties as wool
en- goods. The law declares that where
any article is not specified in the list of
dutiable articles it shall be claSSed with
that article which nearest approaches it
in material, manufacture and use. Now,
as a matter of fact, worsted goods are
not specifically mentioned in the dutia-
BILE list. Through some hOcus pOcus or
for some other reason the Democratic
administration just ended has allowed
worSted goods to be imported at lower
rate than they should be.
The class of goods which wOrsted
goods nearest approach in material,
manufacture and use is wooden goods
The material is the same in both, and
the use is identical. In manufacture
the only difference is in one phrase. as
between combing and carding. There
was a test case made under this simili-
tude clause some time age, when certain
importers sought to have bichrOmate of
soda admitted as a grade of chemical
salts, the tariff on the latter being com
paratively low. The case was carried to
the Court of Appeals, which held unan-
imously that, as bichrOmate of soda was
used for the same purpose as bichro-
mate of potash, it should be classified
with it, the duty therefore being made
much higher than if the goods had been
classified as chemical salts. In that
case bichromate of soda was not on the
list of dutiable articles, while bichromate
of potash was. Thus on Similitude in
only one of the three points material,
manufacture and use-the court SuS
tanned the classification as have stated.
From this it is perfectly clear that
worsteds should be classified with wool
en- goods. The rule of similitude is an
absolute clincher."

SUBSTITUTE FOR WHEAT
pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette.

Pittsburgh COmmeTcal-GaZette.
Prof. WilletS, the Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, thinks he has solved the
very important economic question of
what shall take the place of wheat on
farms where it can no longer be raised
with profit. His scheme is to encourage
the growth of flax through the estab-
lishment of linen manufactures in the
United States. To-day there are only
two weaving linen factories in the coun-
try, both small, and neither making any
thing finer than crash. The reasons of
this are that linen needs more costly
manipulation than cotton, wool. and
silk, and that the duty on it is not near
large enough to be protective in charac-
ter. The Professor says that as good
fax and linen may be produced in every
State in the Union as in any other coun-
try in the world. He estimates that the
American farmers should yearly culti-
vate a million acres of flax, which would
grow crop worth S100,000,000.

THE TERRITORIES

The elections last week in the two Da-
kotas passed off very satisfactorily. In
South Dakota the vote was on the rati-
fication of what is known as the Sioux
Falls Constitutin of 1885. They also
voted for delegates to the Constitution
al Convention, which meets July 4.
The North Dakota electors chose del
egates to a Convention to frame a State
Constitution, as did also those Of Mon
tana and Washington. Under the ena-
bling act the several conventions will
meet July 4. The vote on ratification
will be taken on the first Tuesday in
October, and the admission of the new
States will promptly follow.

EXPAND THE MIND

By seeing as much as you can of the
world; but ere you set out either as a
tourist, commercial traveller or emigrant
whether you go by rail, steamship or
steamboat, provide yourself with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which the travel
ing public recognizes as the finest medi-
cal safeguard and preventive of sea sick
ness with which any one jOurneying by
land or water can be provided. 1t furn-
ishes to the western pioneer adequate
protection against malaria, rheumatism,
and those disorders of the bowels which
miaSma tainted water beget. Its sedative
effect upon a stomach pertubed by the
rocking of ship is truly magical, and it
is capital appetizer and nerve inyigOra-
tor Excellent is it for biliousness and
kidney inaction, and it cOunteractS, in a
remarkable degree, the effects of fatigue,
physical or mental. After wetting and
exposure in inclement weather, it should
be used as preventative. 52-4t

TIE Pennsylvania Railroad, which pro
poses to maintain its position as one of
the best managed railroads in the world
is making experiments to mitigate the
horrors of burning trains. 1t is proposed
to place on the engines a connection with
the steam m-pump, by which hose can be
attached and used to quench fire. A trial
was made the other day in West Phila-
delphia, and the pump threw a stream
over the highest buildings. If further
experiments prove successful, a number
of passenger engines will be equipped
and the train crews exercised in the fire
drill.

MURDER OF NEGROES.

Pittsburgh Telegraph.
The negro 'rising" at Gretna, across
the Mississippi from New Orleans, was,
according to all accounts, terrible af-
fair-for the negroes. An engine house
belonging to colored fire company, a
colored church and the dwelling house
of the colored member of the Legisla-
ture for the parish were burned, and
five fleeing negroes were shot and
wounded, one mortally. AS usual in all
such terrible encounters in the Southern
States, between the two races, no white
men appear to have been hurt. The af-
fair had no immediate political signifi-
canoe, but if the colOred men had not
been enfranchised it is safe to say it
would not have occurred. The lordly
white man of that section cannot bear
the idea of "nigger" voting, and his
protest usually takes the form of shot
gun or revover.

THE question of miners wages in tn,

The question of miners wages in the
Pittsburgh district has been settled
The operators offered 73 cents, or one
cent less than the miners asked; and the
latter very sensibly concluded that it was
not worth while to fight over the cent.
The mines resumed operations on the
18th, on a basis which speaks well for
the moderation and good sense of both
sides. The miners accept a decline of
three or four cents ton on last years
average rate; and on the other hand the
operators pay rate for the entire year
considerably above any other district in
the country.
This secures steady work in the rail
road mines for the ensuing year, which
is great deal better than the enforced
idIeness and possible disorders of a strike.
