EDITORIAL NOTES.

In spite of the deficiency of the rye crop in Russia there will be I'll ,000, 900 poods.
 We move that General Humidity be re- tired with pension, and back pay also if he will stay retired.
 President Harrison made ten speeches in Vermont on Wednesday, and they were all pretty good ones, too. The presidents record as speechmaker will be hard to surpass. He knows what to say and how to say it.
 Things are not equally distributed in this world. Here is the only Kelly getting twenty-five thousand dollars for playing ball few months, while negro minister of Louisville has felt obliged to steal be- cause his salary was only forty-seven cents month and he was starving. A Maine farmer thinks he has made a valuable discovery for the prevention of potato rot Finding last year that some of his potatoes were decaying, he cut and | removed the tops from half the patch. On digging the tubers some weeks later he found all those that had been deprived of l tops were sound, and all the rest unfit for use. The remedy is easily tested. l A celebrated chemist tells how to defeat

the pernicious mosquito. He says that of the various remedies recom- mended for mosquito bites, such as ammonia, oil of cloves, chloro- form and carbolized glycerine. none is bet ter. than ordinary soap. He is an ardent naturalist, and on his excursions in the country invariably carries small piece of soap, with which, in case of bite, he makes lather over the affected part and allows 1t to dry. He declares that the re- lief is instantaneous and that all pain soon ceases. /
 Stepniak draws terrible picture of the impending famine in Russia in the August number of Free Russia. He declares that it will be the most terrible on record, more terrible even than that of 1840. ssThe crops have been destroyed" he says, -''or almost destroyed, in twenty-six provinces of European Russia. In six provinces more than one-half of the dis tricts are afflicted with the same calamity. In thirteen provinces the harvest promises to be middling-suficient for the needs of the population, leaving no surplus. Only in the northern Caucasus, in the few northern provinces, and in three districts of the southeast, the har- vest is expected to be above the average" 1" Signs of acute famine, he adds, are already visible, and he speaks of "thousands of peasants starving upon grass boiled in water" Ca statement since confrmed), of people dying of hunger in the streets, and of parents advertising their children for sale in order not to see them die before their eyes. There remains, of course, the hope that he may have been misinformed or that he may be exaggerating little with the view of stirring public sympa- thy.
 The negro is showing his ability to hold his own. Among the richest citizens of the southern States to-day are several col ored men. who began active life under most adverse circumstances. MT. Sylvester, of Galveston, is said to possess real estate and personal property valued at more than $250, ,000. His wife employs only white servants. Milton Sterrett, of Houston, is one of the most successful men in that town. He owns fine house, surrounded by beautiful grounds which are cared for by landscape gardener, and several plan tations in Texas. During the Civil War he was a waiter on the boats running be- tween Galveston and Houston. His for tune, estimated at $400, ,0O0, was made in real estate speculations. Senator c. N. Burton, of Fort Bend county, Texas, was born a slave. He is now the enviable owner of the plantation of his former master, and three other farms in the most fertile parts of his native State. He cares tenderly for his mistress, who, like so many of her kind, has been reduced to poverty. He sent the good woman back to her old home in Virginia, where she still lives. For fifteen years she has re- ceived $150 month from the man who was once her slave. His success, he de- clares, is due to her alone. Senator Bur ton is a good lawyer and is popular with the members of both political parties. Henry Black, the ranchman of Tom Green and Pecos counties, is also worth $500, 900. Mrs. Harvey, the widow of 8 mulatto who died few years ago, is one of the richest women in the State.

AM OBJECT LESSON,

AN OBJECT LESSON.
 It is astonishing how slow people are to learn, even when the lesson is plain and forcible one. There are thousands of peo- pie in this country who are vociferously arguing that imitation of the currency would be good thing, and especially good thing for the laboring man. In order to see what imitation will do for him the laboring man has only to take a look at the condition of affairs in the Argentine Republic, where paper money has been is- sued in such abundance that gold is about 300. A correspondent says of the situa tion: To the laboring classes the practical cessation of all construction of railroads and public works, and the restriction of all private enterprise, has been a terrible blow. Over 5O,0OO emigrants left the country during the first six months of the present year. Want of means alone pre- vented many thousands more from follow ing the same course. Among those who remain, misery and hunger stride about in the gaunt garb of terrible reality. The pie ture of Buenos .Ayres of to-day is sad one in the extreme, and it is heightened by the knowledge of the fact that the il-ad- vised iberality of European lenders has been greatly instrumental in bringing about the existing state of affairs. Servants have to be discharged, carriages given up, houses sold and economies prac- ticed in every possible way. On those whose occupation it has been to minister to the comforts or the follies of the rich the burden of this general retrenchment entails much privatioa and even misery. All classes of tradesmen are suffering keenly. In many cases they prefer to sell off their stocks of goods by public auction, and, taking what is left out of the wreck, to emigrate to other countries where the conditions of life are less difficult, and do not involve a constant struggle for bare existence.
 This shows what can be done. There wasn't money enough in the Argentine Re- public, so they printed enough and kept sailing along until the inevitable crash came. It will take many years to recover from it. We do not want disastrous infa- tion in this country.

Youth and Age.

When all the world is young, lad, and all the trees green, And every goose swan lad, and every lass a queen; Then hey for boot and horse, lad, and ride the -. world away; Young blood must have it's course, lad, and every dog his day. When all the world is old, lad and all the trees are brown, And all the sport is stale, lad, and all the wheels run down; Creep home and take thy place there, thy early friends among; God grant you find one face there you lnv'd when all was young.

 TWO TRAVELLERS.
 Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, the we'll known author of books descriptive of her wanderings in ''unbeaten tracks," has @ new book on her recent travels in India, Persia, and Turkish Kurdistan, nearly ready for publication. Mrs. Bishop has the honor of being the first woman to de- liver an address before the house of com mons, being summoned to relate what she had seen and discovered of the treatment received by the Christian population in Kurdistan. Her recital of the atrocious cruelties and expressions to which they are subjected by the Turks made @ deep i'm pression upon the members of parliament, who, it is to be hoped, will not allow the matter to drop without some larger ex- precision of the popular opinion, or de- cided measures against the present system or barbarities.
 Mrs. Bishop is as fond of writing as of adventurous journeys. Writing is to people. delight in describing what I | have seen." It is this pleasure in descrip- tion that makes her pen pictures so vivid and brings to the reader many vision of strange scenes otherwise all unknown and unvisited.
 l Another traveller, who has recently issued her first book. is Miss Menie Muriel Dowie, the granddaughter of Chambers of ency- clopaedia fame. She is young, daring and independent Scotchwoman, and hay 1 ing travelled much in the beaten tracks of ordinary tourists she determined to seek the untrodden ways, so struck out brayelJ for the Karpathian mountains ir Russia Poland.
