The news Of the safe arrival of the
whaleback Wetmore at Monteyideo on
September 2Gth, and her departure
therefrom after a stay of 80 hours, comes
along rather late, but it sets at rest the
growing apprehension that she had gone
to the bottom. She has made a good run
thus far and given additional proof of
her seaworthiness.

The New York Mail and Express
prints table of comparative wages in
this country and Great Britain as "pre-
senting a bulwark of defence for the
protective system that is entirely i'm
pregnable to the fragile arrows of free
trade Democratic press" Just 81 occu-
pations figure In this list and we must
confess to considerable inward amuse-
ment at finding catalogued among these
occupations the following whom no
reasonable man will contend are 'pro-
tected" at all Bricklayers, carpenters,
coopers, cabinet makers, farm hands,
laborers, masons, printers, painters, pat
tern makers, plumbers and railroad
engineers. Here are 10 out of the 81
who are manifestly not protected" by
the tariff at all, though they are all,
taxed for the alleged protection" of
somebody. There are Others in the list,
as boiler makers, book binders, clock
makers, matters, iron moulders, machin-
lists, shoemaIers and watch makers, whose
wages cannot possibly be much affected,
if affected at all, by the tariff. The
only remaining occupation, that of glass
blowers, has recently been the subject
of widespread strike, which we are
not sure is yet settled. There is proba-
bly, some "protection" in the tariff for
the glass blowers-if they can induce
their employers to "divvy" with them.
But the table as whole proves to the
intelligent reader, accepting the Mdil
and Express figures, that the workmen
in the entirely unprotected industries
such as bricklayers, carpenters, masons
and the rest-earn as high wages as
those employed in the protected lines of
industry.

After all, the newest authors are the
Oldest In this new edition Granular
Quotations'') we have familiar. sayings
traced away back to Greece and Egypt.
A new author by the name OF Pilpay
figures in this edition. He was Brah-
min, and he lived several centuries be-
fore Christ. Writing in some early dia-
lect of Sanscrit, he deliberately, and
with the most horrible heather deprav-
itv, stole some of the best sayings Of
Herrick, Shakespeare. Butler, Cibber
and others. He was bold enough to ap.
propriate such modern sayings as What
is bred in the bone will come out Of the
flesh,'' Possession is the strongest
tenure of the law" and so on. Hesiod,
who wrote in the seventh century be-.
fore Christ, was another of those an
tique plagiarists. Theognis, Hschylus,
Sophocles, Euripides, Plautus, Terence,
and many others were great suppliers
of modern familiar quotations. Every
time you say: "Hence these tears, the
flower of YOUTH 81 do not care one
straw 'with presence of mind" or
any one of several other things equally
familiar, you are simply quoting Ter
ence. who died one hundred and fifty
nine years before Christ. All the way
through he is as modern as Mr.. Howells
Here is one of his say ings, and after it
is quoted nothing more need be said:

When p. T. Barnum' s winter quarters
were burned two years ago one of the
lions escaped and entered the barn OF
Mrs. Gilligan, a widow living on
Pequonnock street, Bridgeport Conn.,,
Gays the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Mrs.
Gilligan bravely entered the barn,
grabbed the king of beasts by the tail
and belabored him with a. pitchfork
handle to drive him out. Her pluck and
courage were noted in the newspapers
at the time, aud she received many
offers of marriage from men in the far
west who needed brave wives.
Mrs. Gilligan has again distinguished
herself She is great poultry fancier,
and her hennery is a standing tempta-
ton to the lawless tramps and toughs
who make that neighborhood their
headquarters. One morning recently
she heard her chickens making an un-
usual noise, and, hastily dressing, she
rot to the coop just in time see two men
carrying of thirteen Of her fowls.
She followed them to their camp in the

the gang grabbed the chickens from

Pl0winfs with Dynamite.

Sub-soil blowing with dynamite is
one of the new methods in the south,
and it is said to be equal to the procesf
of trenching used by market gardener
to loosen the earth to q depth of two o
three feet and allow the absorption of a
good dealof water for sustaining vege-
tation during a drought. The inventor
drills holes two or three feet deep and
five feet apart, making sixteen hundred
to the acre. In each he puts an ex-
plosive, and, after ta1nping, discharges
it, the whole number being connected
with wire leading to a battery. In a
recent experiment the explosive used
was one-fourth of small-sized dyna~
mite cartridge, with about an ounce OF
Judson powder. The surface of the
ground appeared to be lifted two or
three feet, few small clods being
thrown up to the height of a house. IL
was broken to the depth of thirty inch
es at the points Of the explosion and
sidewise for a part of the distance be-
tween the holes.

A Cushion Car Wheel.

The latest invention to attract the at
tention and approval Of railroad men is
the cushion car wheel, which is said to
possess many advantages in the way of
simplicity, safety and economy, while,
at the same time, being almost noise
less. The wheel is composed Of two
parts, the center and the tire, while. be-
tween the two is thick rubber band
which acts as cushion to absorb all
the vibrations. By a peculiar construc-
ton, the tire is made SO that it may be
removed without taking the wheel
from the axle. The rubber is 50 inter
posed between the center and the tire
as not to be liable to injury from q hot
box or from the corrosive action Of the

Spurious Souvenirs.

DR.. LEM, the explorer, has warn
ing for tourists at Tangier VINO are eager
to buy Moroccan wares to carry home
as mementoes, says the New York Sun.
Two large bazaars are filled with goods
and kept by Jews for the tourist trade.
d.. LEM says that most of these ar
ticles are made in Paris, where the
business of manufacturing oriental an
tiquities and art goods is carried on to
a large extent. The price asked for
these spurious Moroccan wares is very
high. Tourists are advised, if they de-
sire to buy genuine specimens of Mo-
roccan handiwork, not to visit these
bazaars in company with native serv-
ants for interpreters, but to take with
them one of the European merchants
of the town, who can prevent their be-
ing imposed upon.
