Tills was inoVeaaed to SO per oeuU by the Tariff Aot t,f 1862, distinctively at a w u measure sod ''to make proer rep arataun" to sbe mauafaetarers, as Mr. Morrill said in. iotrodncing the bill, fur thn internal Uxea ftnpoMel on tbero and long ago repealeJ. Htmileriy Thd Stevens said : "Wo iutended tu i Jff . an additional .1 ,i" oo imKrts eoal to the tax whiuh had been put oo domestic srtloles.'' To meet the neeossitiee of tbe war tbe duty was gradually ioorees ed until io 1808 it reached the mexl mr m of 48, 70 p r cent. At the height of the war tezatioo the tariff prodticci $179,000,000 and internal Utae$309,. 000,000. In tbe year just cloeed tbe tariff produced $217,000,000 and Ike internal taxes $1 19,000,000 an in crease from tbe tirst source of $58,000, 000,s droreaae from tin latter of $190, 000,000. Tbe tvercge duty test year was 45.5A per oent., or 2 tim aa muob as before tbe war and within 3.1 ft per cent, ol tbe higher t war rate. Mr. Kendall says ! "It has been the in varying prt-cedsiit of DetJsOCiatio sd ministratious to abolish the toterosl reveeue taxes just so soon as be neces sities of war bad reodered them un necessary." This ia juat what Coogrese baa done. Of all tbe internal tax re only those on spirits and tobaoco remsio, while tbe tariff stilt tax's over 4.000 arltettoM, and produced last ynar m -ft rereoue then in sny year of the war or in any of tbe Brat ten years after its cloen.

All the minute articles manufactured heretofore have been made with small tools and in some cases with the atd of a microscope, hot there is a man in the 8ea Breese palace exposition on Coney leland who works out the mrst delicate articlea with a land saw nineteen feet long and revolving at tbe rate of over a mile a minut. Opon this immense fuachiu the skilled operator in my presence sawed uat four chair, eJl complete wiib lg and hscks, but so u. h.I that the four were placd oo the end of a lead pencil at one lime. Then a dizen knives and forks of the moat diminutive sixe were made and pleeed around the lead pencil. Ho small were they tSat although tbe entire dozen were placed round the penil.not one of tbem touched the other. Tbeu the operator trimmed bis finger nails on tbe huge saw ss cleverly and as easily as o&e con id do it with a penknife. Wetting bis thumb, be preesed tbe ball of it into some aawdust ami tbeo sawed tbe sawdust off tbe thumb without scratching the skin, yet single nerv ous twitch of tbe arm would bsve cost him a hand. All sorts of curious puz zles are turned out with astooisbiog rapidity from all ot!s of misshapen blocks of wood. Even srticles of cloth iog, as ibio and flexible s oloth, ere worked out by ibis mswicisu from little pieces (.f wood with hia nig saw. Tha Cap he works in was snwed out of over 1,000 pieces of wood, uo two of which aie the same sise or shape." The New York Commercial Advertiser iu h orig article on the Knights of Labor, suys : "Prom figures given out lately by Powderly, not to teporters, however, it is ascertained that the mem bet ship of tbe order has fallen from 1,000,000 to lets than 600,000 within the last fourteen months. The loss has been steady and on the increase, while accessions to the ordr have grown fV.wsr each month. This is attributed to itn failure to carry its points in its vital strikes in two great struggles that on the Missouri Pacific and the coal-handlers here." The article continues ss follows: "Losses have been greatest in New York. Dintrict assembly 49 lost hlf i's members within fourteen month.

THK ObD Tbe continued attack i tj en Presi dent Cleveland and Pension Commis sioner Blsck in the alleged bebslf of tbe old soldiers bj certain Republican pa pers has led to the investigation of tbe charges made of discrimination against the relet aus by tbe present administtaa tioa. The result is shewn ia tbe fal lowing statement by a Washington or respondent : The pension bureau hss prepared statistics relating to the cumber of pen sioo bills signsd by President Grant and hia successors in office that will prov interesting to Grend Army men end others. From this statement it ap pears that daring Orsnt's first edminie- tntion 321 special sote were approved, and during his eooud 251 Predtbmt Uayoa approved 903 epeeial sote, and Prfsidnt Arthur 26. In the first two years of President Cleveland's sdminie- tt at ion be approvnd 826. or 275 fwr cent more than durinir Grant's first ' rtn. 940 per cent more than during Great's second term, and nearly doub'a the number, or 100 per oent more than in Grant's two terms. Prestdeut Cleve. lend has approved 185 per jent more then Hayes, and over 17 per cent mo'e than Garfield end Arthur combined. As a still further msnifoatation of tne attitude of the present demoorstio sd minietretion toward the anion eoldters. the pay-roll of the pension ofiioe alone, n bureau more closely connected with tbe soldiers of tbe eofhltry than aoy other, show tbat out of 1,531 employes, 831, or 54 jier cent, are einr soldiers' or sailors widows, eons or daughters, while only 1 00 ar civtluns, most of whom occupy the minor positions, as messengers, watchmen, etc. Three buodmd and aerenty soldiers or lhair kindted ooeupy the higher positions, pay in $1,200 and upward, against 292 civilianr, a difference in favor of tbe soldiers of nearly 27 per oent.

The brilliant Intellect which conceived the immortal tele of" Uncle Tom' 8 Cabin" is perceptibly shatter ed. The death of Professor Stowe has added years to the appearance of bis lonely wife, and sho hss lost on ttrely ber vigor and enthusiasm.

Next yeai's round up of cattle on the Colorado ranges will probably be the last.if the Denver Republican is correct. Cattle raisiog on the range exclusively is said to be a thing of the past in Col orado, the change having been brought about by farmers settling on the grazing lands, which they are taking up under the homestead and timberculture laws. Mnv persons do not know that Jef ferson Dsvia is blind of an eye ; and mre do not know how he was thus afflicted. When he waa about fqurteea years old he and his cousin, Joseph L.

Y.f baa attained local reputation by the manner in which she rides n fierce young mustang pony. Bhe frequently rides the Utile horse at a breakneck psoe through the streets, without sadd!o or br!dle,emJ nothing but her tiding whip to guide or re strain the horse. Bhe may be seen almost sny dsy by the passengers on the trains toward and from Coopers town, wheeling and rait ing alongside the railroad tracks, going somewhat faster at times thsn the train. Bhe is vain of her skill, and before tbe pssscngers she vaults fences and dltchrw without ceremony.

A Portland, Me , girl wit awakened by a noise In ber r om Mondny night, when a burg lar put his band over ber mouth, kissed her and said : "Keep still, sis ; I won't hurt you, All I want is these trinkets."

The First Sign Of failing health, whether tn the form of Night Sweats end Nervousness, or in a sense of General Weariness and Loss of Appetite, should suggest the nee of Ayer's Sarsapsxilla. This preparation is moat effective for giving tone and strength to the enfeebled system, pro moting the digestion and assimilation of food,; restoring the nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purify ing, enriching, and vitalising the blood. Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fail. I was troubled with a distressing Cough , Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous ness. I tried various remedies pre scribed by different physicians, out became so weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. My friends recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaporilla, which I did, and I am now as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs. E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer's SarsapariUa, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease. I have also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alterative, and must say that I honestly believe it to be the beat blood medicine ever compounded. W. F. Fowler, M. D., V. D. 8., Greenville, Tenn. Dyspepsia Cured. It would be impossible for me to de scribe what I suffered from Indigestion and Headache up to the time I began taking Ayer's SarsapariUa. I was under the care of various physicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary re lief. After taking Ayer's SarsapariUa for a short time, my headache disap- S eared, and my stomach performed its uties more perfectly. To-day my health is completely restored. Mary Marley, Springfield, Mass. I have been greatly benefited by the prompt use of Ayer's SarsapariUa. It tones and invigorates the system, regu lates the action of the digestive and assimilative organs, and vitalizes the blood. It is, without doubt, the most reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
