A President without a Policy.

1t is new thing under this American sun
to have a president without a policy Gen.
Grosvenor, the Ohio oracle fences the pres
ent occupant of the White house against
criticism at the hands OF his own partisans
by declaring in substance. If not in terms,
that the chief executive of the United States
has no right to have a policy that congress
alone must indicate what Is to be done in
both war and peace, and that all the duty
of a president consists in executing the man
dates of majority OF the legislative body.
This is nothing If not new doctrine in re-
spect to the responsibility of the president
to the people by whose full and free suf
frages he was chosen to The highest trust in
their gift. The shade of Grant and the
sturdy form of Cleveland come up to refute
it as weak subterfuge, an excuse for car
tilage where there should be bone in &c

Hannas bounty and Democratic votes in his

ROquefort Cheese.

'Roquefort cheese. the delight-of modern
epicures. is made of a mixture of goat and
sheep milk" says the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph. The reputation of this cheese
extends back into dim antiquity, and Pliny
mentioned it in his writings.
1T is made chiefly from the milk OF Larzad
goats and sheep, and in the records in France
it is stated that, in the year 1866 $50 900 sheen
and goats out of a flock of 400 coo gave
enough milk for the making of ISL, 600
pounds of cheese.

No Use for wheelbarrow. in China

No Use for Wheelbarrosvs in China.
When the wheelbarrow was introduced into
the West Indies, with a view Of getting more
work out of the negro laborers, it was an
object of both derision and curiosity. The
negroes could not be induced to trundle it
filed with manure or earth, as the case
might be, but. their habit had been to
fill their baskets and carry them on their
heads, they did the same with the wheelbar
row. This odd adaptation of a civilized ap-
plianee is brought to mind by letter Of
the consul general of Shanghai, who says
he can offer very little encouragement to
American shippers Of wheelbarrows, scrap
ers dump cars and the like to China The
China wheelbarrow has one large wheel in
the middle and a seat on either side, where
loads, and not infrequently passengers, are
carried. Rather than carry dirt in a wheel
barrow, the coolie uses two baskets about
the size and shape of a grain scoop, which
he hangs on the end of bambo rod bal
anced on his shoulders. For this work he
will receive 7 cents to 10 cents gold per day.
There are tens of thousands of men willing
to work for this pittarce: in fact, in China
there is no market for labor-saving devices,
men are infinitely cheaper.-St Louis Globe

Largest ship in the world.


On Jan. q there was launched at Belfast
the new twin-screw steamer Oceanic, which
has been built for the White Star line. The
event marks an era in the history of ship
building as a feat of engineering for the
Oceanic is the largest vessel ever built. The
length of the Great Eastern was $50 feet,
that of the Oceanic is 704 feet. Their re-
spectfve disDlacements are lisa tons and
IS GOO tons, and weight of hull 900 tons and
p SEQ tons. When on a voyage the Oceanic
will weigh 2S.5OO tons compared to the Great
Eastern's $4,000. To compare their engines
would be almost absurd the older vessel
with its steam pressure of IS pounds to the
square inch against the Oceanics 192 pounds.
In shape, too, the Oceanic is the antithesis
Of the Great Eastern. She does not look at
all clumsy. but presents a graceful appear
ance. The Oceanic has been built to suit
admiralty requirements as an armed cruiser.
and she can steam % 400 miles at u knots
without recealing. The Great Eastern's best
time Southampton to New York, was eleven
days.-Bufalo Express.
