MISCELLANY.


Laugh out, laugh out, ye orchard lands
With all your ripened store;
Such bOunteOus measure nature ylelus'
What could heart ask for morey
with earth's broad lap abrim with food,
The azure skies above,
The heavens whisper, Earth is goodi
Earth answers, Heaven is love
The winds that wander from the West
Ger fields afar or near
Find plenty nowhere manifest
In richer stores than here.
The golden rick, the bursting bin,
OF rich and rpened grain
Bespeak the wealth which all may win
In industry's domain.
The corn fields set in grand array
OF solid rank and row
Are streams of wealth which set this way
And soon shall overflow
Laugh out, laugh out, ye ripened helus,
With e'er increasing mirth;
The Joy your bounteous measure yields
Shall bless the whole round earth.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The action Of the
tariff committee of the French senate in
recommending duty Of twenty five francs
per 100 kilos on salted meats Of all kinds

opinion that the committee Of the French
senate will agree in conference with the
committee OF the chamber OF deputies to
the rate fixed last session by the chamber
OF deputies. According to that rate there
is sliding scale, fifteen francs being the
minimum and twenty francs the max
imum. The action Of the senate commit
tee Tuesday was he thinks, simply prop
osition TO raise the maximum. The fixing
Of the exact rate will be left to the cabinet
And this rate, the secretary believes, will
be twenty francs.
III am right he said, .'the duty will

fore the new year be materially lowered.
The next country after France to raise the
embargo is expected to be Austro-Hun-
gary. Oyertures have already been made
to this country by the agents OF Emperor
