Prices Advancing.

The report of the Agricultural Depart
ment furnishes evidence that the pro
,tective policy is working out good re-
suits. When it is considered that but
for this policy we would have very little
or no industrial activity, and consequent
ly much less demand for live stock, be-
cause of the increase noted below NAV
be easily seen. The report says:
'sThe price of horses has increased,
owing to an increased demand and i'm
provement in breeding. Mules have al
so advanced in price. The rapid growth
of small towns in mining districts may
have Influenced this somewhat. Their
number has not increased, owing to the
tendency in certain parts of Virginia to
divide up the large farms into smaller
ones, and horses are preferred on the
latter The number of milch COWS has
increased somewhat, with prices better
than last year. Sheep about hold their
own as to numbers. Better prices and
increased demand for them have caused
the farmers to sell off closer than here
tofore. Hogs have suffered ii coed deal
from cholera. In prices they range
about AS last year

ENEIA NnsS ARHK

England's navy, which once ruled the
wave, has been conducting itself in an as
tonishing and very costly manner lately,
and now Sir Charles Dixie says England's
army is too costly, and not especially well
trained. The armies of the British en-
pire, including the forces of India and the
colonies, cost SLIT, SOC, 900 year. The
German army costs about $167, SOC, 900 and
the French army little more than $140,-
600, 900. In return for the outlay either
Germany or France can put in the field
on the twenty-frst day of mobilization over
1900, 900 soldiers of uniform quality with
between 5000 and 1000 guns, while be-
hind this stupendous force would be held
in reserve vast garrison and territorial
army. The British empire, though COM
greater than that of either Germany or
France in Europe, could muster but 1885,
900 men of various quality, some
being quite worthless, and only
small proportion being applica-
BILE to European campaign. In the nom
inal aggregate of 765, 900 Sir Charles Dixie
includes, besides 211 200 regular soldiers
scattered throughout the empire and 6S,-
600 good native troops in India, $1,000 of
the frst-class army reserve, which, unlike
the reserves of the Continental systems, is
not periodically drilled; 1900 of the sec
ond-class army reserve; 117,0O0 militia,
who have but half the requisite number of
officers; II, 900 yeomanry; 224, 900 volun-
teers, whose value is questionable and at
all events has not been tested; 5000 un-
trustworthy native troops in India, and 81 =
600 described as odds and ends These fig
ures comprise everything, from the bat
talions of the Guards to the Irish constab-
ulary, the St. Helena militia and the native
policemen in India.
In other respects Sir Charles makes out
q strong case against England's military
system. But it might be found in the event
of war that the British soldiers would
fight well. They usually have.

ssTHE FORMS OF LAW,
Having trampled on the constitution of
the State by calling Judge Morris governor
when he has not been declared governor by
the general assembly, the Democrats are
now talking smoothly about proceeding
according to the forms of law" This
means, perhaps, that they are going to ask
the superior court to order the present
State officers to appear in court and show
why they do not give up their Offices to the
pretenders.
Such proceeding would be ridiculous.
1t would perhaps be proper for somebody
to ask the court to call the pretenders to
account for their illegal and wild perform
ances, but is it probable that any court
would allow the pretenders to ask the pres
ent State officers why they did their plain
dutys The judges know the constitution,
and they know that the pretenders have
de6ed it. Would any judge give them aid
and comfort in such a performance as is
proposeda
The Democrats made great mistake
when they demanded the Offices in the way
they did. If there are any legal proceed
ings to be taken in consequence of such
action the rightful holders of the offices
are not the ones against whom they should
be taken
Another thing which deserves consider
alton is the question whether the courts
would have any jurisdiction until asked to

Tvyenty-three Tea Balls.

intimate friend came in upon her, among
my tea balls" D." The friend echoed tine laugh
when she looked about. From chandelier,
candslabra and cornice, on cabinet, easel
and lamp, hung by their slender chains
these perforated globes of silver: they
swung from picture frames, glistened in
curtain folds, twinkled among the brasses
of the hearth, occupied on all sides unusu-
al inches, where in a spirit of jest their en-
barrased owner had placed them.

have developed this remarkable unanimty
of purpose on the part of my friends. but
when the Wedding girts began to arrive, it

Which points a moral concerning we'd
ding gifts. A casual acquaintance, a man
especially, shopping with generous inten-
tions towards coming bride, will be wise
to select nothing of which one only is
needed in a household. There are so many
other things, choice ought nol to be diff

Royal Berlin; bit of marble, bronze, brass.
or the French and Vienese gillian etching,
a rug, an artistic screen, or piece of tapes
try-these are only the beginning of the
list of things which are prized by the max
er of home and of which too many can
hardly be possessed. There is an aroma OF
taste, too, about wedding gifts that is toe
often offended. The more fornol friends

LONDON IN A SNOW STORM.
An Expensive Experience for the
British MetropolIs.

All EApShshNe tut
British Metropolis.
ga snowstorm is an expensive expert
ence for the metropolis, says the London
Pail Mall Gazette. apart from the higher
mortality among horses, the increased cost
of haulage, the interruption to traffic, and
other indirect losses, very lerge addition
is made to the normal expense of scaveng-
ing. What that extra expenditure is we
have no means of estimating, but if the
plan advocated by correspondents were
adopted and an army turned loose to cart
away the snow as soon as it had fallen, the
cost would be enormous. The surveyor
for the Chelsea vestry, making an estimate
on the basis of 1000 for his own dis
trict, puts the total cost for the metropolis
at e600, 900. That we think too large a
figure; as the city, with its one square
mile of area, does the work thoroughly for
something like "a 900 of extra outlay.
Being at the very center of traffic, it is of
Importance that there should be no scamp
ing in the city and so every bye-street is
attacked, but in the outlaying districts
there is not the same need for clean
sweep up and down every lane and were
the main thoroughfares effectually dealt
with. all would be done that the public
could reasonably expect. The cost, there
fore, need not be SO large as the figure
mentioned, but all the same it would
amount to a very considerable sum.
When the snow has absorbed too much
foreign matter it is carted to Lett's Wharf,
Commercial road, Lambeth, which belongs
to the corporation, and it is there shot in
to dock. A steam jet is then turned up
on it, and when melted is allowed to run
into the river, the deposit remaining being
placed upon barges and removed in the
usual way. During the great storm of 1881
large quantities of snow were deposited
upon vacant lands belonging to the COM
mission at Golden Lane, Petticoat Square
and other places, but the experience was
not an encouraging one. The hills of hard
pressed snow took two weeks to melt, and
