 HUMAN sacrifices are still quite common on the East African coast.
 A MEDAL is to be struck to commemorate the 70Oth anniversary of the mayoralty of London.
 A COMPANY Is being formed, with capi- tai of &S,OOO, 900, for the purpose of holding a worlds exposition in Buenos Ayres.
 Fon the first time iA 25O years the En- glish Presbyterian Synod was this year re- ceived at his official residence by the Lord Mayor of London.
 THERE was meeting of three sons of American Presidents in London the other day. Jesse Grant, Russell Harrison and Robert Lincoln were at the United States Legation together. Russell Harrison after wards dined with the Queen in company with Minister Lincoln.
 THE work of connecting by canals the two great arteries of navigation in West ern Siberia has so far progressed that boat fifty-six feet long and fourteen feet wide, taking three and one-half feet of water, has been lately drawn from the Obi into the Yenisei with 8 load of forty tons of flour. The two rivers are 63O miles apart. THERE were numerous casualties during | the erection of the Paris Exposition build

 ON the sides of the Jesen Fiord, on the west coast of Norway, mountains rise per pendicularly to height of several thou sand feet. Recently stones and rocks, some of which are said to have been as | large as house, began to fall on one side of the ford. The avalanche continued for more than two hours, and the crash was heard ten miles away.
 A CLEVER fellow has shop at the dizzy height of the third platform of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Exhibition, and is mak- ing a small fortune by selling books and pictures stamped "third platform" and to be had nowhere else. These are purchased at fancy prices by all the adventurous who ascend to the top, and taken away as pos itive proof that they really have made the ascent.
 THE Gladstone family seems to be one of the few In which intellect has descended not only from father to son but father to daughter. None of the statesman's chil- dren shine in comparison with their father, but they are all children of whom he may be proud-of none more so than his daugh- ter Helen, who was one of the first to take an active interest in the higher education of women, and who is now president of Newman College, Cambridge.

credited by his admiring paltisans, that mill 0 word would necessarily be losing rate for the company. The company can afford such rate for press dispatches be- cause these are duplicated to a very large number of papers and the rate is so brought up to a profitable basis. It cannot, how ever afford, unless it is satisfied to accept loss, to do government business at the rates demanded by Mir Wanamaker; and though it is not popular institution, the people generally do not believe it ought to be compelled to do business at m actual loss. If, however, the government should possess itself of the plant and take control of all telegraph service, just as it does of the mail service, better rates might be provided for all concerned, the people as we'll as the government 1t IS au ite probable that an individual or prl- vate corporation could not perform the mail service of the country at present rates without suffering an actual loss, nor can private corporation be expected to perform the telegraphic service without securing fair profit on the capital invest ed in the business. The government IS not run for purposes of money making, as prl- vate corporations are, and can afford to give mail facilities at an actual loss, which no corporation could or would be willing 10 do. The same would hold good of the telegraph service. If the government con trolled the business the public could be
 we'll and properly served at rates much lower than those which now rule and
 which might eventually even keep the | service on paying basis. One of the first
 steps toward nationalism which the Bel
 lamy school advocate is government control
 of telegraph but we believe there are
 many who do not accept nationalism in its
 full and perfect development who are
 willing and anxious that the government should take at least this first step.
 There is certainly much to be said in
 favor of government control of the tele- graph service, and the time is opportune
 for agitation of the subject. It would
 be not at all singular if the present diff,
 culty between the government and the Western Union should lead to the realiz
 ation of a project that has been before the public mind these many years.

ONE explanation of the falling off in immigration to this country last year is found in the large European emigration to South America. The increase in the mum Der of foreign immigrants who have ar rived at Buenos Ayres since January more than offsets the falling off in immigration to this country. At the present time the immigrants are pouring in there at the rate of 200, ,OOO year, indicating that the Argentine Republic is going to have it's hands full at the assimilating business before long,

SOME compensation for floods and hin. drances to farm work by continued rains may be found in the greater crop of grass.
 THERE is no reason why horse of good constitution at eight years old should not be able to do good work at thirty, barring accidents or abuse.
 WHEN having wet season, water will not stand on the surface of land deeply plowed as long as it does on that which only has the surface turned over.
 To HLTER-BREAK, begin by holding the colt and afterwards trying him for a short time and increase the period until you could leave him in safety for any length of time.
 WHERE one has not a subsoil blow, fair job may be done by running a second time in the furrow with the ordinary blow, be- ing careful not to throw up the subsoil too high
 IT is much easier to stir and pulverize the soil before weeds have made their appear ance than after they have invested the surface with their tangllng fbers. The crop will always be better for having noth. ing to encounter but 8 clean, mellow soil
 IT is said of kind and conscientious farmer that he always sent the laziest man he had after the COWS, and when he had none lazy enough to suit he went himself. He knew the folly and loss from worrying and hurrying COWS with udders full of milk.
 SKILLPUL orchardists who succeed in rais- ing the finest and most delicious peaches make it Q rule that none shall remain on tho branches nearer to each other than three or four inches; while of some large or fare sorts, 6 distance of SIX inches has been the rule.

BAR HARBoR is the Mecca toward which New York ofice-seekers are now turning their hopeful eyes. Friends of Secretary Blaine are taking heart of grace that Presi- dent Harrison is up there, and the fact that he failed to make the New York ap- pointments before going gives ground to hope that the secretary will have finger in the distributing pie. Bar Harbor will be big with certain kind of attention for the next week.

Is would be interesting to know what the Illinois miners who are "dy. Ing to escape slavery" think of protection. There is, in- deed, such thing as protection for the rich mine owners and others who get the fat out of the tariff, but the workingmen have their protection only in organization. When monopolists are forced to pay decent wages to their employees they do it, but seldom otherwise.

QUAY'S ALLIED HAND.

The mailed hand of Boss Quay was seen yesterday in Pennsylvania. From the opening ode to the closing lamentation there was no note that vibrated discord- antly to the key as pitched bv the mailed hand. It was all powerful and before it's iron touch the courage of Chris Magee and the anti-Quay republicans oozed out like frost from the sun kissed ground. Real king that he who fights and runs away may live to fight some other day these choice spirits bottled their anger to un- cork it in the gubernatorial fight.
 The platform is sickening compound 6 adulation and stereotyped rehash of long settled questions -adulation of Boss Quay, Corporal Tanner and war taxes under which the Carnegies have pros pered while their miners and employees have eked out miserable pittance from the bowels of the earth; rehash of the questions that were settled by Lees sur lender at Appomattox and the successful reconstruction of the south. Of course the Quay heeler nominated yesterday at Harrisburg will be elected-the glory of equal rights and the greatest good of the greatest number as reflected in the principles of democracy have not yet permeated the benighted regions of Pennsylvania. It's citizens prefer to put up foreign castles for Carnegie rather than break from the mailed hand of Boss Quay.
 The mailed hand clutches the throat of Pennsylvania as strongly as of old.
 ONE WAY OUT OF IT.
 One way out of the dispute that at pres snt engages the energies of our pious post master general and Dr Green would be to have the national government take control of the telegraph service of the country and run it as it now does the mail service The plan would be absolutely and entirely feasible, and would be approved we be- lieve by all who are not interested in the preservation of the Western Union mon- epoly.
 It IS not 8 new suggestion that we make as way out of the dispute, but it's prac- Aicability seems to take on a new phase now that the government, through it's pious postmaster general, is demanding that the Western Union do it's telegraphing at an actual loss. There can be no doubt that Dr Green has made out good case against Mir Wanamaker, and the latter must see for himself, if he has the busi- ness sagacity with which he has been

The House Votes to Repeal the Local Op-
 tion Law-Hot Debates.
 TRENTON, Jan. 3O-The first showing of hands on the repeating of the local option bill was made when the committee on the re- vision of laws made their report on Assembly man Wiedenmayers bill to repeal the local option law. Messrs. Farrell Marsh and favorably, and the minority members, Messrs. Riker and Herbert, reported adversely The vote was taken on the acceptance of the report and carried by 30 to 27, strict party vote

 There will be a joint meeting Monday night to take action on the death of ex-Governor Parker.

A Lively Contest for the Position of De

 TRENTON, Jan. S0.-The contest for depart ment commander of the Grand Army of the Republic is becoming exceedingly warm, and there is much speculation as to the outcome The orders have been issued for the state encampment to be held Feb. 1a and IS, but the council of administration considers the advisability of changing the date.
 There seems to be disposition to postpone the encampment until the latter part of the week following. The crowded condition of the hotels during the session of the legislature is the reason for gathering the last of the week
 There are at present four candidates for de partment commander in the field: Capt w. B. Miller, of Camden, rifle inspector of the Sixth regiment; Senior Vice Commander Smith, of Newark; Post Commander Budd Bodine, of Trenton, and Post Commander Widdriclz, of Warren county.
 Gen. E. Burd Grubb, the present depart ment commander, is still considered candi- date
