CANADIAN BUILT CARS.

DETROIT, Jan. 1S.-The new customs
order regarding Canadian built cars is be-
ing rigidly enforced. Heretofore Grand
Trunk and other foreign built cars have
been loaded in interior points in Michigan
and have run through to Portland, Me-,
without question. This was disregard
of the law, but was tacitly permitted to go
on through some misunderstanding in the
Interpretation of the international ar
rangement. Now the Canadian built car
can pass Detroit from any American point
to another through Canada with paying
duties if such cars are intended TO ply be-
tween American points. Canadian roads
are preparing accordingly by stopping cars
at Detroit that We're intended for loads be-
tween American points

NEW YORK, Jen. 1S.-Eccentric Miss
Harriet Coffin, the heiress. formerly of
Cincinnati, whose mad infatuation with
Actor Kyrel Bellew has in the past
tempted her to brandish knives and re

RhIl WAY REGULATIONS.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 1s.-A bill for the
regulating of railways was introduced in
the state senate yesterday. The long and
short haul clause Of the interstate law is
copied verbatim as well as many other
features. The issuance of all passes ex-
cept to railway employees and members of
the commission and the secretary is strict
" forbidden. The commission has power,
in case of complaint of unjust or discrim-
mating rates, to fix new rates which are
prima facie reasonable. The railway COM
pany interested must then either conform
TO these rates or prove bylegal process that
they are unreasonable Heavy penalties
are attached for infractions of the law.

A Dig in the Ribs


If on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke profanity
from chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fiendish. Look at Il mans
countenance ere you prod him under the
ribs If his skin and eyeballs have sal
low tinge, you may infer also that his
tongue is ferred, his breath apt to be sour.
that he has pains not only beneath his
ribs, but also under his right shoulder
blade. Also that his bowels are irregular
and bis digestion impaired Instead of
making a jocose demonstration on his
ribs, recommend him to take, and steadily
persist in taking HOstetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the finest anti-bilious and Alternative
medicine extant. Incompatible is it, also,
for dyspepsia, rheumatism, nervousness,
kidney trouble, and fever and ague.

EDUCATING The NEGRO.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 1S.-Rev. DR.. Atti-
Gus 6. Haygood, agent of the state fund
for the colored people, and who was once
elected bishop by the southern Methodists,
is preparing a reply to the charges made
by northern papers and periodicals that
the south has done, and is doing, nothing
for the education Of the negro. The doc
tor says.
81 want to make final answer to these
charges. | want to have a half page or
more of statistics showing exactly in dol
lars and cents what we have done towards
educating the blacks. There is an i'm
preston up north that the only education
the negro is getting IS from the funds con-
tributed by northern philanthropists to
certain colleges and schools in the south. l
ing him make an address on this subject,
that the south expended in her
system of common schools for
the education Of the negro
many times the amount contributed by
northern philanthropists to a few south
ern schools. He replied that he had nev-
er thought Of the matter in that light be-
fore, and that the suggestion was a revela-
ton to him. This will be the line of my
reply to these charges. | expect to show
what the south has done. From Alabama
| have received full, clear statement of
how much money has been expended in
that state in seventeen years for
the education of the negro Georgia keeps
no such record, though she ought to. IN
Alabama, S3.500,000 have gore toward this
object since 1870. All that l could learn
as to what Georgia had been doing We're
the figures for a single year, compiled
by School Commissioner Orr. They
showed that in one of the best years
this state gave about $4,000 for
the education Of the blacKs-that
means that In seventeen years Georgia has
spent 81, $4,000 to educate this people,
while Alabama has spent Sl.000,000 more
than we did. Virginia has spent more
than $4,000, 900. l don't think these figures
can be interpreted otherwise than that the
south is doing more for the education and
enlightenment of the negro than any other
people on the globe.

EXCITEMENT IN ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1e.-Through advices
which came to hand this morning from
Lincoln, Neb, it was learned on Change
that certain roads in the northwest COM
template scheme which, if put through
successfully, will be the death blow TO one
OF the largest interests possessed by the
city Of St. Louis.
1t is a fact generally known that the
city has been for years the second largest
corn market in the United States.
Its territory includes Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa The receipts
of corn here since the first of the year have
been three million bushels, being million
bushels in excess of that received by Chi
cago. In other words, st. Louis receipts
have been three million bushels, while
Coicago receipts have been two million.
carry the idea of the extent Of the
corn trade of this city. 1t is one
of the chief, if not the chief feature
of the city's trade. In all receipts for
number of years past this trade has been
maintained and increased by the existence
OF freight rate from shipping points in
southwest which is called ed by the railroad Saa
from all points called Missouri river
points and west to all points called Miss
issippi river points. The differential
works this way: Corn is carried from the
field in southern Nebraska and northern
Kansas to this city at a rate which is
cents per 100 less than rate from these
same points TO the city of Chicago.
The consequence is that corn is always
worth 3 or 4e per bushel more in Chicago
than in St Louis. The differential was
based on the fact that Chicago is long
haul from these points and ST. Louis
short haul, and, furthermore. that Chicago
can ship its corn to the seaboard for &c
lac hay, 81 r$xv
to The ports. Thus, while st. Louis is a
short haul from the corn fields the sea-
board is the short haul from Chicago and
the long haul from st. Louis.
Roads over which this corn is hauled from
the corn fields to Chicago are mainly the
Northwestern and Union Pacific. These
roads have no terminals in this city, but
now contemplate move which will throw
the entire. crop of corn shipped from Mis-
souri, river points directly into
Chicago, placing it there free on
board at the same rate which
Is now operated for Mississippi river
points. The proposition which they are
about to submit to the western associa
tlon is this: That the rate on corn from
all Missouri river points and places west
OF that line to Mississippi river points,
namely, all points south of Burlington, be
advanced cents per 100 weight. This
means corn can be bought in at Chicago
exactly the same price that it can be
bought for in ST. Louis, and the latter city
will be completely swept out of existence,
SO far as ability to reach
the seaboard is concerned. With the pres
ent ditferential abolished, ST. Louis would
De as powerless to compete with Chicago
IN the matter of exporting corn as 1t would
to compete with New York or Boston, if
exports could be purchased for the same
price in both cities. The Merchants Ex-
change has appointed committee to in
vestigate the matter and argue with the
railroads AGAINST such action

ALIREL SUIT DECIDED.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 1S.-The jury in the
trial of Editor VIM. E. Sackett, of the
Sunday Morning News. of Jersey City, for
alleged libel of Thos. Potter, a wealthy
contractor. returned a verdict of acQuittal
this morning. Judge Lippincott charged
strongly for the defense and the jury de-
cided the matter on the first ballot.
Potter claimed to have been intimate
with Julia ~ Plumb, widow. Sackett
published letters written by Potter to the
lady and was arrested eight times during
the past year for as many successive arti-
cies that gave Potter ofense. Mr.. Sackett
has instructed his counsel to Sue Potter
for $4,000 damages for false imprisonment
and malicious prosecution.

A Pianist's Peculiar Hair.

Now that Dir. Hans Won Bulow, the
piano player, has closed his musical tom
in America with IL balance of some SIP
600 to his credit, Il curious story is
quietly current about him. DR.. Van
Bulow, MS people familiar with his APP
pearance know, wears his hair long and
thin on the top of his bold and some
what bald head. Over his dreamy ewes
and mobile brows this sparse but silky
thatch waves mt times with an odd effect.
a curious story was told by barber who
shaved DIR. Won Bulow. The barber
avowed that the great pianist's top hair
was so musicaIly electric that when
combcd with gutta-pcrcha it stood III
and emitted IL singular, soft, humming
sound in which an initiate might trace
divine melodies. Everybody who heard
the tale was seized at once of an earnest
desire to possess one of Dr. Won Bulow's
musical hairs. As the consequence of
gratifying this mnltifarious desire would
be entirely dcpilatory, as well as disas
trous to himself, DR.. Won Bulow, rumor
has it, las so far positively refused to
part with . single strand.-Nc.o York
