The shre wdness and business capa- city that have made the Yankee the first of traders and promise to turn this country into the workshop of the world, received a striking and happy illustration the other day. The scene was hereabouts, the characters Q rising young merchant and a pretty woman. He had an affection for her, she liking for him, so they became betrothed. After time she found out that she didn't love him well enough to marry him, and the match was broken off. It was severe blow, and he staggered under it; but he fought well for him. self, protested that his life was ruined, asked if she could not learn to love him, and in all ways did the proper thing. She was immovable, however, and he sadly and reluctantly took his leave. While his eyes were full of gathering tears he bade his faltering farewells, then closed the door upon his hopes. A moment later he opened it, stepped back into the room. and, with tears in his voice, brokenly mur- mured, $ I hope this will make no diff ference about your coming to the store, Miss; and that your mother will continue to trade with us. I shall be happy to give the usual discount. Our stock is large and varied, our aim to please" And the door shut finally, leaving him alone with his grief.-YOT- Gck in Portlaud Press.

The English government has another

 tariff question on its hands, similar tc

 that which disturbs it's relations with

 Canada. It has been giving protection

 to the cotton manufacturers, which il

 now proposes to withdraw in part, il

 not wholly. At present the Calcutta and Bombay mill owners are able to

 import free coal, free machinery, and

 free skilled labor from England, and | with these aids to manufacture goods

 which the protective duty secures them

 ready sale for at higher than the nat

 ural prices in the Indian market. But

 these mill owners also export large

 quantities of goods to China and other

 foreign markets and the excessive

 profits obtained in India put it in their

 power to undersel1 English competi-

 tors abroad by charging less for their yarn and cloth than they would other

 wise be compelled to. The Bombay

 Gazette, commenting on this state of affairs, says a double injury is infiict- forced to buy clothing at dearer than the legitimate rate, and on the English manufacturer, who finds himself shut out of the Indian market and menaced with what may be described as a subsi- dized competition in other Eastern mar kets. It is absurd to expect England to maintain her dominion over India for the purpose of thus ruining an i'm portant branch of her own trade, for the benefit, not of the people of India, but of small class of Indian mill owners" The Gazette further says:

 The wealthy Babus of Calcutta and their friends, the mill owners of Bom bay, have probably less to complain of than any other set of people in this world. Utterly helpless as they are to protect themselves, they enjoy the ad vantage of being protected by the strong English government and allowed to accumulate riches In peace and they are so lightly taxed for the maintenance of English rule in India that the amount they contribute to the national exchequer may fairly be said to be in Yet they are so grasping and discontented withal that any one would suppose by their outcries they were being stripped of every rupee they possess whenever the government asks them to bear their fair share of taxation; and their antipathy to English infu- ence, which has at least made their for tunes, is so intense that under the pre- text of becoming champions of the cause of a struggling Indian industry they have the presumption to demand the continuance of a commercial policy which is doing serious injury to the cotton export trade of England. We have never been able to sympathize, for our own part, with the rich natives who claim exemption from direct taxation and, if we opposed the license tax last year, the only motive of our was desire to see an income tax imposed in its stead. As for the pretensions of the mill own CTS, we need not repeat the arguments we have often used to show that it is not desirable to destroy the Indian market for the cotton manufacturers of for the sake of enriching the Nursey Kessowjees of Bombay.

 The English government is likely to have plenty Of business in pacifying it's jealous and ambitious colonists, and in lighting their quarrelsome neighbors. American IrdUeler.

EXERCISE. A great deal depends upon the time chosen for needful exer- else. When it is properly conducted. the effect on the digestive system IS very marked. The appetite is increased. and more food is taken in order to sup ply forcs necessary for the maintenance of the mechanical powers. This increase of appetite Is especially noted when the exercise Is taken in the open air. When exercise is undertaken. however, with out due preparation. or the bodily powers are exhausted by fatigue, the power of being able to take food IS dl- minished. This condition, if the exer- else is continued and the power of taking food remains impaired. IS one of considerable danger, and the health IS often greatly affected, the force of the heart being much reduced. It IS of great importance, moreO yer, when great fatigue has been undergone, to see that the bodily powers are thoroughly re- cruited by rest before an attempt Is made to take food, otherwise there will be no inclination to take it, and If forced down it will not digest. An hours rest with cup of warm tea will do much toward restoring appetite in these cases Indeed it should be a rule in all e.lses that a period of rest should intervene between work and food.

Did you ever see Lotta's mother !? asks correspondent of a Philadelphia paper. They are as nearly alike as two peas. except, of course, that while one is still green, the other is somewhat withered. She keeps q watchful eye upon her daughters interest, be as sured. She is father and mother, and mistress and maid, rolled into one. She keeps the breakfast warm and packs the trunks and reads manu- scripts, accompanies her daughter to the theater, frowns down intruders and makes the bargains on the stopping tours. They are hardly ever parted, and, notwithstanding her decided opinions upon some things, she is a very affable old lady and good mother, and 1t Is to be hoped that she will be spared tO her daughter and friends for many years to come.

 A WISE ELEPHANT.-One very warm day, my attention was drawn to the conduct of an elephant which had been placed in an inclosure in the open air. On the ground was heap of newly mown grass which the sagacious animal was taking up by the trunkful, and lay ing carefully on his sun-heated back. He continued the operation until his back was completely matched, when he remained quiet, apparently enjoying the result of his ingenuity. After that we need not be surprised that elephants can be taught to dance.

MORE MERCIFUL TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS


Observation-Disclosures OF INDUSTRIAL


SCHOOLS.


The thirty-tourth annual report of the Executive
Committee OF the Prison Association of New York
has just been published. On the third page refer
ence is made to the practice of large numbers of
persons hold for trial in the courts OF in this
city who plead guilty and thus undergo trial.
The report considers that this practice fostered
by venal counseliors who take the prisoners money
and neglect their defence OF late years. since the
tenure Of judgeships has been extended. judges in
criminal courts have interrogated prisoners and
finding that they did not know the meaning Of plead
ing guilty have instructed their counsel to with
draw the plea and substitute one OF not guilty.
1t is suggested that for every city where there is
mail delivery by carriers the authorities should pro-
vide letter box accessible to the posman in every
place OF detention where persons awaiting trial are
confined and that they be furnished with stationery
under regulations approved by the District
The present system OF county prisons is condemned
perncious and it is thought it should be super
seeded by some rational method of separating tho
convicted from the unconvicted prisoner The en-
tire separation of children from all ether inmates Of
the jail and the proper separation or the sexes ana
the different classes OF women should be made oblig
atory on the officers of the prison. These things
is asserted. wholly neglected.

children Of fourteen should be saved from i'm

to establish such schools in neighborhoods where

a new postage stamp to be used on


letters not prepaid. Heretofore a
stamp has been held in the offico ct
which it was mailed. Tho postmast-
or ut this office then writes to tho
individual addressed, saying that
such letter has been held in That
office for him, the postage not hav-
ing been prepaid. The new stamp


which has just been ordered under
the new regulation is put on the
letter not prepaid and sent to tho
postmaster at the Office of it's desti-
nation, who he is charged with the
amount due, and to collect tho
same from tho person addressed on
the delivery of the lotter. A now
stamp has also been ordered to bo
put on the letter after it passes into
tho hands Of the carrier, who then
becomes responsible for the collec-
tion Of the postage. This new
stamp is intended as q check upon
