Wednesday, September, 25, the

Farrand & Shank, of Lansing. 1000
for damages sustained by reason OF
the law of 1885 prohibiting the
manufacture of oleomargarine,
which rendered their plants value
less. This action was authorized
by the recent Legislature, and the
sums awarded were considerably
less than the amounts recommended

SATURDAY, DECEMBER %, 1889.
TWO OF A KIND.

Within few weeks two great enemies
of human freedom have passed into the
great beyond. Jefferson Davis, who
fought that slavery might exist, died less
than month ago and the Southern
press is yet filled with ELUSIVE praise of
the arch traitor, apostrophizing him as
"Our dead president" A few days since
Henry W. Grady, "New South Grady"
was summoned to the presence of his
Creator with lie on his lips. Only a
few days before at Boston this really
brilliant man made speech. It was full
of glowing rhetoric but nearly every
word was false. He claimed that the
Colored people of the South enjoy all the
rights of Citizenship, that their votes are
not suppressed-in fact that they have
just the same rights and privileges that
the whites enjoy. Any sane man who
has studied tie Southern question knows
teat these statements are absolutely
false. Grady's living lips have been
stilled forever. Davis and Grady, two
men who lived only to Cypress and
wrong de fenceless race, are dead and
the Colored people have no tears to
shed.

REMARKABLE TOYS,

The curious Contrivances to Be Seen al
the Paris Exposition.
Among the many curious articles ex-
hlbited by Austrian and Hungarian
merchants at the Paris Exposition.
there is case of toys which will
bring special delight to the small folks
Older people, indeed, often stand with
greatly amused visages watching the
surprising antics of these ingenius play
things, which appear not only to pos
sess life-so cunningly are their inter-
nal parts contrlved-but to be possessed,
each, by some imp of mischief.
There is gorgeous peacock, which
not only walks with nodding crest and
stately step across the stage, but ex-
pands its broad, many-eyed tail in the
most natural manner.
A small dog next dashes forth, banks
furiously, then, as if recognizing his
master, wags his tail and frislks about. so
true to life that one can scarcely believe
he is an automaton.
A rabbit-a very lifelike little bunny
then comes out of his warren, priclzs
up his long, soft ears, stares timidlv
about for few moments and hops rapid
ly away.
Afterward monkey drops down from
his perch and performs VARIETY of
amusing antics, which invariably set the
children shouting with laughter.
But the most attractive toy OF the ex-
hibit appears to be a fat Chinaman,
which is in reality a huge top. His
large round hat seems to be another
top, top atop of top. The hat turns
around upon the Chinaman's head,
while the Chinaman himself turns slow
~ around, nodding, and presently un-
folding his large, gaily-colored fan, with
which he fans himself in most languid
but aristocratic manner.-Cor. Denver

a Vermont Church Service in the Early
Part of the Century.
AS soon as the text was given out,
Deacon Batchellor, who was old and
very deaf, rose from his pew, walked
heavily down the aisle, and half as
.cended the pulpit steps. Then he adj
]usted an enormous tin ear-trumpet, and
sat there through the long sermon, a
plous attentive, but most grotesque,
figure. The singers seats stretched en-
tlrely across the church in front of the
pulpit-two long rows, with a rack or
desk for hymn books between them.
The men singers sat with their backs to
the pulpit, while the women faced
them. When the leader struck his tun-
Ing fork and gave the key, all stood up
and literally bawled and sang in each
others faces. All the old mournful
minor tunes were great favorites, and
the rhymed stories of hell fire, damna-
ton and lost souls gave the greatest
satisfaction to both singers and
parson. Questions of doctrine
were Elder Whiteinch's greatest ioy and
most frequent discussion, and several
times a year he preached on the sun
pardonable SIM" but we must remember
that he had none of the sins of great
cities to form subjects of sermons and to
preach against-not even that of intern
perance, for the simple reason that it
was then considered sin in no one to
drink strong liquors provided man
stopped short of gross intoxication.
Habitual drinkers were all those New
England farmers In nearly every

pewter fagon or tankard filled with
boring water (and with straw-covered
handle to prevent burning the handy

o'clock, the regular bedtime. Then a
great pitcher Of rum toddy or cider flip
was brewed, and every one, men, women
and children, drank of it, and thus went
warmed to their ice-cold hambers,
where the snow sifted in little drifts on
the floor. No farm hand would work at
blowing and haying without three glasses
OF rum day. Even the few workwom-
en- who took their rounds among these
farms-a tailoress, wool-weaver, an In
dian "squaw nurse"-all demanded, re-
ceived and drank their daily glass of
rum. Bears were not infrequent visit
ors in Vermont in those day, and may a
bears tracks and depradations were re-
ported at the Sunday "nooning," and
the hunt was planned there as well. 1t
was subsequently carried out in action,
dealing death to the bear, and giving
sufficient reason for the large consump-
ton of New England rum. But the bears
are gone with the forests, and the old
Anclover Church is gone also. A chance
spark from an oil lantern set fire to the
jackson barn. The fire could be ill
fought with only the bucket from the
old well-sweep and milk pals to carry
water it. So the flames spread, and the
high winds blew them across the road
to the old wooden church, and all were
destroyed together, and only a cellar
wall and few half-burned bricks mark
the spot where so many dull happy Sun
days were spent.-Congregational Re-

PROTECTION LOWERS PRICES.

It is now about hundred years since
Alexander Hamilton asserted that the
ultimate effects of protective tariff
would be to cheaper the costs of the
protected industries, that competitor
would soon do away with attempts at
monopoly, land bring prices to basis of a
reasonable profit. Washington and Jeff
erson and other contempt rary states
men gave their assent to the soundness
of this view, and aided to the passage
of laws laying round tariff on Compel
ing foreign products. In like manner,
and in the same faith, did Jackson and
Webster and Clay advocate building up
by defensive legislation. every industry
necessary to the comfort and independ-
ence of the people. And grandly have
their patriotism and foresight been vim
Dictated.
Protection has proved boon to con-
sumers, in that the price OF every pro-
tected article the manufacture of which
has come near supplying the popular de
mand is cheaper to-day than when the
tariff was first levied.
But in the face of these irrefutable
facts, backed by the price lists of every
trade, and against the judgment and ex-
perience of the country's wisest and
most patriotic statesmen, the free-trade
advocates of to-day assert and repeat
the falsehood that the amount of duty
is added to the price, and not alone of
what is imported, but of all correspond
ing domestic products. English and
American makers have quoted the same
prices for steel rails within the past
month with the tariff standing at Sl7
per ton, while through long list Of
fabrics generally worn by the people,
the same relative facts exist. Certain
lines of cotton goods are now exported,
and American calicoes find sale in
English centers of cotton manufacture.
This could not be, if it were true that the
amount Of duty is added to the price of
the homemade article. In no other
