The leaves of the pawpaw tree are employed by the negroes in washing linen as a substitute for soap. They have also the proper ty of rendering meat wrapped in them tender, owing to the alkaloid papain which they contain and which acts as solvent.

 ican institutions, the people consti-
 tute the Government, and the Gov
 ernment is supreme, and the logi-
 cal ultimate of the argument that
 justiies Government control and
 regulation of monopolies will prove
 it the duty of Government to con-
 duct and operate all National mo-
 nopolies in the interest of the whole
 people. Any man who says this is
 socialism, or tendency toward so-
 cialism, or too much law, is an an
 archist, because he advocates an- archy, or too little law, by insisting
 that the Government has TO right to control the robber that preys up-
 on its citizens, because in doing so 1t interferes with his individual lib- erty. The doctrine of individual ism cannot be carried beyond the field that is susceptible of regula- ton and control by competition without becoming rank anarchy. The question of principle, then hinges upon the one point, is the power to coin or issue money mo- nopoly per SC? The answer is un- questionably in the affirmative, and, therefore, it is a peculiar function of Government. It can be nothing else but a monopoly. The Govern ment forces the people to pay an nually taxes in money amounting to about $40O,00O,000, and is the banks should continue to keep the gross volume in circulation, as they now do, down to something near that amount, the present depressing tendencies would continue to pre- vail. The taxes paid the Govern  ment then, as now, would not be a tithe of the sacrifices made of the products of labor tU secure a DOT tion of such an abnormally scarce medium of exchange, forced to cir cufste rapidly enough to do the business of the country equal to many hundred times it's own vol tune; and, in addition to that, every l dollar of it must pass through the National Treasury at least once year. These considerations seem to have been recognized by the founders of this Government, be- cause they inserted a provision in the Constitution authorizing the Government alone to coin money, and the word coin includes for all practical purposes the word issue. This has been the law from the be- ginning, and the only excuse for State and private banks of issue would be to supply a deficiency caused by lack of the exercise of this function by the General Gov ernment. This being true, it is evi dently better for the Government to perform its whole duty and supply plenty of money for the people than to now legalize any substitutes. For these reasons the general conclusion must be sustained that the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax law is in no sense of the word the relief now and the fight will be con- tinued as now commenced, the ob- jeet of which is to secure more money by the Government, which shall be a full legal tender, and less taxes.-The National Economist.

For good or for i'll, the Farmers Alliance movement is fast growing into the proportions of an epidemic. Its strongholds are chiefly, so far, in the South, notably in South Car olina and Georgia, but there are symptoms of the advance of the disease, if so it may be called, in the West. It is likely to sweep, first, over the strictly agricultural States, but no portion of the coun- try can count on remaining free from it's ravages. It has broken out with great yigor in Tennessee, where Buchanan, the President of the Tennessee Alliance, has been selected as standard-bearer by the Democracy. It has invaded Mary land, and has already some victo- ries to show in North Carolina. It Is time, therefore, that all men made up their minds as to what are the objective points aimed at by the leaders in the movement, and what

"EurekaPp

An old Greek philosopher who had
long been wrestling with mechanical
problem, suddenly had it "come to
him" one day while in the bath. In
an ecstacy of delight he ran out into
the street, in about the same costume
as that worn by Joseph of old when
he made his escape from Madame Pot
iphar's boudoir, crying "Eurekal Eu-
rekar'-"I have found it!' Califor-
MIA has adopted the word for her
state seal. and it has become popular
exclamation to announce any impor-
tant discovery. Since The Burling-
ton" opened new line between St.
Paul and Minneapolis and Chicago and
st. Louis. hundreds of thousands of
Northwestern people have become ia
miliar with the word, discovering the
finest railroad in the country-none
equal it. Any railroad agent can sup
ply you with tickets by this line, and

The Prince OF Peace.

Ii is not often that we review such
book as 1.-The Prince of Peace, or
The Beautiful Life of Jesus; by Mrs.
Isabella NJ. Alden, whom the world
knows and honors as ''Pansy." As
may be Judged from its title, this book
deals with peerless theme.
Search the world around and the
ages through, and no nobler specimen
of manhood can be found than that
presented in the man Christ Jesus.
This is by no means partizan judg
ment, but historically considered, this
is point generally conceded.
The title suggests the view made
prominent in the book. 1t is the
princely; presenting the royal side.
In sketching his beautiful life. Mrs.
Alden never loses sight of the loving,
lowly, humanitarian side of Jesus
nature and work; but he is always the
noble. exalted. princely friend of man.
lie is clearly above those among whom
he moves but he is not above them in
unapproachable separateness. He is
accessible for the lowliest, and when
one comes to him, there is always for
that one moral uplift. The prince
exhalts his subjects every time.
The peaceful nature of his con-
quests are beautifully shown. The
world has had long lines of princes
who have ruled the nations and of
conque rors who have swayed national
destines on the fields of conquest; but
this Prince is greater conqueror than
them all, and yields a wider sover-
ignty, and yet peace is the watchword
of his cohorts. as it was the song of
angels who announced his birth.
One need not be assured that such a
theme receives matchless treatment
at the hands of Mrs. Alden. Her life
long devotion to the interests of
this Prince and her hearty love for all
that pertains to his kingdom, guide
her skillful pen and enrich her fervid
rhetoric as she discourses on the great
events of his career. 1t is not too
much to say of her book that, while
it will charm the child, it will also
edify the man. IL is rich in Incident,
clear in exposition, faithful in appli-
cation, transparent in phraseology,
and beautiful in all its parts.
The publishers, X. S. Peale & Co., of
Chicago, Ill.,, have made worthy
book. Its generous, readable pages
are adorned with a wealth of illustra-
tions. Elegant colored Autographs,
choice tinted photographers. and SUI
perb assortment of wood engravings
adorn the pages. Bida, Hoffman,
PIockherst, Defreggre, Fem, and a
host of other eminent artists are rep
resented in the establishment of this
volume. Nobody can go astray in Sc
curing this book.
