cen, ham, apples and all kinds of produce, and with these the Milford Docks company believe they could deal satisfactorily, al- though so far away from mercantile cen- ter. Then with respect to export, large trade is done in Swansea tin plates, the sup ply of which is contiguous, and Birming- ham goods could be shipped as cheaply as from Liverpool, if not cheaper. These are examples of tine counter attractions of the rival port, into the full merits of which the companies may be expected to carefully in- quire.
 No one supposes that Liverpool is going to be destroyed by Milford Haven, but what with the Manchester ship canal threatening to divert cargo which at present finds it's way to Liverpool, and this competition for the transatlantic traffic by Milford and also by Southampton, considerable alarm pre- vails in the northern seaport The Dock Board is urged to undertake the task of mak. ing Liverpool easy of access at all states of the tide, and to improve the facilities for disembarking passengers and their baggage. Otherwise it may be found that Liverpool will suffer as Southampton did when the Pe- ninsula and Oriental company left that port.

THE NEW ROUTE TO LONDON.
Milford Haven as . Rival to Liverp0o
 in the Near Future. tr-a,,. tbA n nfou T2,,doat

From the PAll Mall Budget
 The suitability of Milford Haven as a port of call for American passengers and mails was demonstrated the other day by the City of Rome experiment, but the Milford Decks Company are hoping to make Milford ter minus as we'll as a place of call. The season is now practically over, and nothing is likely to be done immediately, but the next year one or mora of the Atlantic lines may be in- duced to make the more southern port their point of departure. The inducements offered by Milford are various. The haven is large deep, and land-locksd bay, which can be sns tered at any state of the tide, so that without
 loss of time the passengers can be landed
 by tender or direct on the quay from the steamer. The dock has two acres of water area and quayage of over 5000 feet. Its lock is seventy feet wide, so that it can admit the largest steamers afioat, and there are all the faculties for landing and embarking goods and passengers. Stepping ashore the passengers enter acommodious baggage-roem, where the Customs officers make their exam- ination, and in a very short time they and their impedimenta are on board the train on their way to the metropolis. At Liverpool, on tho other hand, there are often delays at the bar, which cannot be crossed except dur ing three hours of each tide. Then there is tho transshipmsnt to 8 tug, the delay in the Customs baegage-room and the drive to the hotel or 4srminus, all of which means an ex- penditure of time and money. With respect l to the former, the traveller to London has an 1 advantage by the Milford route, variously estimated at from ten to twelve hours. The railway journey takes over six hours, as com pared with three and half from Liverpool, l but the net saving is as indicated. On the score of expense, the frst-class passengers were taken from the steamer and placed down in London with all their baggage at an inclusive charge of something under sS each. No tips and no extras of any kind were per- mitted, which must be pleasant experience to the American traveller. With respect to the outward bound passengers, a day practi- | cal1y would be saved. It is usual to go down l to Liverpool the day before sailing and put | up et one of the hotels, but if the steamer
 were timed to depart from Milford. say, at ] in the afternoon, they could leave London ir the morning at S.30 and be put on board ir plenty of time.
 To make Milford Haven more than mere port of call, as Queenstown is at present, i
 will be necessary, however, to prove it's suit

 passenger steamers very often consists o perishable articles, such as fresh meat, ba

and United States Express companies at New Orleans, thinks that a plan which will prevent the stealing of express matter has been devised. All the cars are being sup- piled with stationary safes with combination locks, the combination of which the express messenger in the car will be kept in ignor- ance. Hereafter when money is shipped a responsible representative of the company here will go down to the train, deposit the valuables and money in the safe, check it with the messenger and then secure the safe. When the train reaches Memphis, Chatta- noega, or any other point, another repre- sentative of the company, also acquainted with the combination with visit the car and ascertain from the messenger if there are any valuables or money in the safe for that point. If answered in the affirmative he will open the safe and take out the prop erty. By this system if an express car Is attacked by train robbers they will be com- pelled to blow open the safe, as no matter how much they might desire it the meesen- ger will be unable to assist them.
 The late J. H. Rathbone, of Lima, Ohio, was once school teacher at Eagle Harbor, in northern Michigan, and while he was there the idea of founding the order of the Knights of Pythias was first conceived by him. He was at this time nineteen years of age. He completed the ritual and put the manu- script away without publishing his plan. In 1861, when he was called esst by the death of his father, he entered the United States servios at Germantown, Pennsylvania, being appointed clerk of tho hospital at that place. The young man first revealed his plans for founding secretrorder to the steward Of the hospital, Robert A. Champion, who was. pleased with the idea. Which thsya WEI Ws1f'e 1both transferred to Washington, soon after, they set about forming the first lodge, which was organized in .Eebruary, 1864, under the title. of Washington lodge.

 Mr.. Reynolds seems disposed to carry things with high hand, and will succeed unless there is at lest one of his Democratic colleagues whom he cannot persuade or bull- idozs. How this is We shall soon see. It will be an agreeable surprise if one of tAem turned out to be Independent of him. There is ono scheme, atJ least, which he should not be allowed to sarry oqt and that is his scheme to resvvoolutionizs the 1naiiage, ment of the alnshouse by putting his men in charge there. Mr. Sanford has been criticised and-we do not suppose that his management has been perfect. But we have no idea that 1t has in any way been dishonest. His doings were carefully examined by the Investigating committee and he came out of the examination in good shape. He has abundantly proven his ability to deal with the difficult problems which confront man in his place. He is efficient and humane. He knows more about the town poor than anybody else could learn in five years. Con- sidering all the circumstancss 1t would be folly to displace him now.

AN INTERPRETING DEUIsIoN.

Patent medicines have heretofore four ished wethout let or hindrance. They have been sold for what they are and for what they are not. Some have been helpful and some have been harmful. When they were helpful sometimes the ones helped gratefully gave Testimonial" in favor of them. It does not seem to have entered anybody's head until lately that there was any way to get paid for harm done by patent medicine. But Georgian of original ideas has brought the matter to test. and the Supreme court of Georgia has decided that the proprietor of . patent medicine is liable in damages for injury done to any person who takes the medicine according to the directions. This liability does not fall upon the druggist who eells tho medfcine, but 1t attaches to the pro- prietor, even when tho consumer buys moi from him directly but from the druggist. The court says: These proprietary or patent medicines are secret or intended by the pro. prietors to be secret as to their contents. They expect to derive profit from such secrecy. They are, therefore, liable for all injuries sustained by anyone who takes thsil medicines in such quantities as may be pre-. scribed by them. There is no way for the person who uses the medicine to ascertain
 what its contents are ordinarily, and in this
 case the contents were only asoertained aftel
 an analysis made by chemist, which would be very yinconvenientand expensive to the pub
 lie. Nor would it be the duty of person us. ! ing the medicine to ascertain what poisonous
 drugs 1t may contain. He has . right to rely
 upon the statement of the proprietor, printed
 and published to the world; and if thus rely. | ing he takes the medicine and is injured or
 account of some concealed drug of which hs
 is unaware, the proprietor is not free from
 fault and is liable for the injury thereby sus l tained.
 This is very important decision, and | will be warmly approved by many. If il
 does anything to drive dangerous and harm
 full patent medicines out of tho market il will be beneficial. The good ones will not b. harmed by it.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Woman is the target of all the small wits. A wicked Frenchman says that women have such an innate vanity for dress that if you were to tell one that she was to be hanged in the presence of %, 1000 persons she would at once exclaim: ''Great heavensi I've got nothing to wear"
 An idea which might be made profitable elsewhere is furnished by a firm in Berlin which has made successful departure in the wholesale manufacture of mortar to be sold to small builders and private individu- als who can by this means furnish their own mortar for their buildings. About 2, ,000, 900 barrels were sold by this firm last year.
 The doctors who attended the late King of Portugal during the last weeks of his illness knew what their services were worth. They presented bills amounting to nearly $10o, 900. One of them demanded $14. .000 for ten visits, another demanded. .$17 1000 for fifteen, while third thought that $30,000 was not too much to ask for his attendance at sight- cen consultations. Eventually the new king succeeded in sfeeting settlement of their claims by means of lump sum of $e0, ,000. The Catholics are making q strong effort to defeat the con6rmatino by the senate of Thomas J. Morgan as Indian commissioner and Rev. Dr. Daniel Dorchester as superin- tendent of Indian schools, on the charge that they are discrininated against Catholics q teachers and have prevented them from ninistering to the wants of Indians who are Catholics. These charges have been entirely refuted, but the Democrats in the senate are disposed to make political capital out oi them. Itis to be hoped that the scheme te defeat these two men will fail. They are much needed in the Indian service.
