1t is seldom that the death of public man
calls out more general and sincere expressions
of sorrow than have followed the sudden de-
mise under circumstances of peculiar sadness
of the late Secretary WINDOW. The whole
country rings with encomiums of his worth as
a man of great ability and sterling integrity as
a statesman and fnancier. All who were asso-
ciated with Mr.. WINDOW at any time during
his long and useful public career can find no
words too strong to express their regard for his
genial and loyable traits Of character, or their
admiration for his usefulness and ability There
is little doubt that his untimely death was in
large measure due to the intense strain placed
upon HIM during the recent financial disturb
ances, which might have had a far different
ending if less powerful and steady hand was
in control of the National Treasury, or if that
hand had not been guided solely by noble and
patriotic desire to avert the disaster which for
a time seemed imminent.

If life seems long, get to work, and

The world was male before some

they have done their duty TO the world

We have noticed that the man who

a napidly growing evil, and one that
reformers would do well to tackle, is
the custom Of young people marrying

1t must be the ambition Of the

family. You can always tlatter n

You can always please certain

Jolly English CIerpymen.

Owing to the fact that so many En-
glish citizens spend the summer on the
continent the different Church of En-
gland societies detail preachers of that
faith to take their own vacation on the
continent, and at all the resorts the
preachers conduct religious services
each Sunday. | have met a number of
these ministers or rectors, and they seem
to be a very jovial set of men. In con-
trast to our own preachers in the United
States they not only frequent the
gardens and drinking places, but they
do not hesitate to sit in the smoking
rooms of the hotels and indulge i'll
'grog'-Scotch whisky and water
why not !" said one of these preachers
to me, as he slipped his grogand smoked
his pipe. I've enjoy the good things of
this world, but do not abuse them
They are evidently the same kind of
parsons that Thackeray so wildly de-
scribed in his novels. | observe when
handed card by any of those preach
ers that they invariably give you their
club as we'll as private address, and this
is particularly true of London and the
outskirts. One of these preachers
seemed much surprised when told that
it was rare exception in the United
States for minister of the gospel to be-
long TO a club.-RichmonG Dispatch Cor

TREASURY'S BIG JOB.

Evidence Secured to Prosecute the Great
Op um in.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 1.-THE
United States Treasury Department has
a Job before it that has not been
equaled except by the Bristow admins
trat In 1876, when it attemp pied TO put
down the great whisky ring. For six
months the abiast detectives in the gov
e m nt's EN- loy ave b zen hunting out
tie acts IN RELATION to the great OPIUM
smuggling ring, which has its head and
center in the Puget Sound district.
They have made report which is APP
pallIng. The evidence now in posses
sion of the treasury covers 600 pages
of foolscap. The ring extends from
Portland, Ore, through all the cities
along Puget Sound down the line of the
Canadian Pacific TO the Canadian me-
tropolls. It'll SO enormous in extent that
the treasury does not know where to
begin its prosecution, and includes
many men of high standing. At least
two United States senators are involved
and I'VE congressman. 1t lS the most
enormous combination to cheat the
government III ats extent and power
that was ever known in the country's
history. For siN months the United
states treasury has been aware that
n opium-smuggling ring was in
slccessfnl operation on the Pacific
cast. 1t made its details for inyestiga-
uon with the utmost care, for it was
difficult to find men who could be trust
ed. Nobody from the section where the
work had to be done could be employed,
because the concern was all-powcrful,
and If bribery was not sufficient darker
means might be employed

Thank the Children.

They run on our errands, up stairs
for our books and slippers, our thin
bles, our new magazines: downstairs
to tell the servants this thing or that /;
over the way to carry our parcels; TO
the postoffice with our letters.
They leave their work or their play
a dozen times in a morning, to do
something to oblige us who are grown
up bigger, and liable to be less a sorb-
ingly occupied than they are.
No game of politics or business in
after life Will ever be so important to
the man as the ball and the top to the
little lad; and no future enjoyment OF
the little girl viii ever be greater in
degree and kind than her present in
her dolls and playhouse; yet Johnnie
and Jennie fly at our bidding, arrest
ing themsel in nid-career OF the
play which is their present work, and
alas, half the time We quite overlook
our own obligation TO be grateful. We
do not say, Il thank you" And be-
cause we do not say it, We make it
difficult for them 20 be as polite, as
simply courteous, as otherwise they
would be by nature. and h imitation,
which Is second nature TO all children.

I topian Schemes.

Dtopian schemes are plans, whether
of national improvement or of social
operation, founded on impractical or
visionary views. Sir Thomas Moore,
in writing his curious philosophical
work, utopia" added a new word to
the English language, and delineated
his IDEAS of perfect commonwealth.
Utopia, from the Greek, means no
Place" On the imaginary island of
Utopia, in the Atlantic Ocean ho
places people governed on the princi-
PIE that no one shall have the right to
separate proi erty. Here all are con-
tented with the necessaries of life, all
employed i'll useful labor, and no
nan desires in clothing any other
quality than durability. Since wants
are few, and every individual engages
in labor, there is no need for them to
work more than six hours per day.
Neither laziuess nor ayarice finds a
place in this happy region; for why
should the people be indolent when
they have sach little toll; or greedy
when they know there is an abundance
for all? This is somewhat like the
scheme proposed in Bellamy's Looking
Backward" and is as impracticable az
it is ingenious.

Licorice of Commerce.

The word licorice means sweet
root" and is of Greek origin, says Iar-
per's Young People. Most of it comes
from Asia Minor, where it is found
growing in great abundance all along
the flat, uncultivated, and almost unln-
habited lands of the rivers Tlgrls and
Euphrates. 1t is small shrub not
more than three feet high, with a light
foliage, and is never found far from the
water.
The season for collecting the roots Is
generally during the winter, although
it is possible all the year around. When
the root is first dug, it is full of water,
and must be allowed to q v, long,
tedious process, often taking a year.
1t is then sent to Bagdad, where it Is
pressed into bales and shipped to Lon
don, and from there to America, quanti-
ties OF 1t being used in this country in
in the manufacture of tobacco.
The black licorice sticks or rolls which
we see i'll the confectionery and drug
stores come mostly from Spain, and are
made Of pure juice mixed with a little
starch, which prevents it from melting
III warm weather, and before packing,
each stick is wrapped in bay leaves.

buildings.

Substitute for Steel.

An odd cargo of African vegetable
fibre, tough as steel itself, is being land
ed at Hanover Street wharf from the
Italian bark Nuova Monde. The vessel
brought 2,236 bales of it from Oran, an
Algerian seaport in the Mediterranean
Sea. The fibre has been found to be
SO elastic that it can be used as a substi-
tute for springs and the like in the man
ufacture of furniture backs and seats.
1t is so expansive and so easily affected
by higher temperatures in its dry state
that the bales are held in place b.
heavy bands of steel. The popularity
of the grass is that is thrives only
around the volcanic mountain slopes of
Oran, and tlourishes up to within Il
short distance of the Craters them
selves. The latter are always in a semi
active state, and the earth around is SO
warm that not plant of any kind can
thrive or is ever seen to grow except
