Those of tbo democratic persua . - sion attribulo it to and tako credit . for it as the result of a governmental - policy. That is begging the ques tion. That business shall revivo now 13 ihe natural result of several causes. First, that of a natural rebound from, tho extreme depression caused by the radical change of administra tion from the protective policy to .that "for revenne only." Second, that during tbo suspen sion of largo importations and a de crease of manufactures a largo stock of both imported and domestic man ufactures, a surplus was worked off and consumed. And third, tbo most potent of all, is thefact that a republican con gress has been restored which stands in the way-of any further legislation inimical to prosperity. Tho elections last fall show that tho people repudiate tbe democratic policy as a whole. This causes a re storation of confidence of business men that investments will not be fur ther crippled by unfriendly legisla tion on the line of a false policy. But a return to the prosperity of 1S92, it is morally certain it will not occur within the next two years. TAXING TlIE DRUMMERS. ' The American drummer has been a Epbject of discussion in the house of commons recently, and the sagges tion was made that all commercial travelers doing business in tbe Uni ted .Kingdom should be taxed. The president of tbe British board of trade, however, thought it would be impracticable as well as impolitic to do this. It certainly would have been. We now permit the represen tatives of foreign industries to do business in our states without con tributing to the expenses of their government. American mannfactur ers are taxed upon the value of their land, buildings and factories, besides which they pay much higher wages to their employes. The foreigner, on the other hand, while paying lower wages contributes nothing to our state or municipal government, and would, if the free traders could only have their way, be allowed to sell his goods in our markets without jc paying any customsdnties. It would certainly not be politic for the Brit ish government to ax American drummers. CUBAN AFFAIRS. The Oregonian epitomises the state of Cuban revolt as follows. It is about the thing: One does not know what to be lieve about the Cuban revolution, in view of the conflicting stories from Tanons sources. The American pub lic has grown so incredulous npon this subject after years of Tain at tempt and delusive hopes, that nothing short of capture of Havana by the rebels will convince it The Fourth of July has passed. The anniversary day of our national independence passed off pleasantly, our feminine beauties were gaiJy ap paralled, and patriotism was triumph ant In the hearts of "Young Amer ica" as the small boy exploded his fire-crackers in honor of the day on which our revolutionary sires pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in defense of civil, religions and political liberty. The names of Washington and Lin coln were brought to mind. Wash ington as tbe father of his country, who in revolutionary times led tbe army of the colonies to victory, and Lincoln as the noble patriot and martyr, who, through statesmanship and devoted love of the union, quelled the most uncalled for and gigantic rebellion known in history, and gaye freedom to $4,000,000 hu man beings held in slavery. The Salem Statesman says: The Salem bog will not squeal, trrnnt, or split hazel when the sboate, pigs and runts of tbe county pnt yokes on, or rings in tbe snouts of tbe Salem porker, the Statesman. Tbe late de cision of tbe ciicuit court in tbe branch asylum case has settled tbe matter till the supreme court, to which the case will be appealed, confirms or reverses that decision. The Salem hog however will continue to root for a season. Judge Hewitt has rendered a de cision that (be act of the legislature providing for a branch asylum in Eastern Oregon, ia unconstitutional and tbe Salem bog grunts satisfac torily, just as any porker does after filling his belly 011 tbo contents of a swill tnb. According to tbe Galveston News tbe Texas democracy has long been divided into two factions, whosenniou has boen "merely a deceitful partner ship of two greedy old women ready and eager to pick tbe g?pe clean and divide tbo feathers.

Among Americans up to 1S55 tho uso and nbnsoof stroiiR drink were almost universal, but it certainly affected their health less injuriously than at tho pres ent time. Tho worry and strain of mod ern business and social life shatter nerves now and lead to drain driuking to repair them. On tho contrary, most of tho excesses in tho old times camo oiter n solid dinner, and three or four hours were spent in rest and convivial ity, but the amount drank was enor mous. When tho exchange was com pleted, in 1S32, a dinner was given, and thero was some apprehension that tho wino would run out, and a well known broker on tho committee expressed his surprise, as the company had not aver aged more than three bottles apiece. This would be thought a very largo al lowance of strong Madeira in these times. In 1S53 the final audit of tho accounts of tho United States bank was complet ed, and on behalf of tho government James A. Bayard of Delaware, John JiL Mason and n Kentucky gentleman named Dates appeared. It was a mere formality, as the matter had been settled ten years before. John Young acted as clerk. Tho party met in tho northwest chamber of the bank building uow tho customhouse at 11 o'clock. A bottle of brandy and six of Madeira wcro on tho table, and after a short inspection of papers tho wine was opened, and by 1 o clock was drank. Tho day was warm, and a bowl of bishop was order ed, and this was mado by tho servant with the brandy and a flask of Curacoa. This was drank, and the three com mitteemen went to dine with Charles J. Ingersoll about 5 o'clock. They returned, bringing a friend. A dozen Madeira were at band, and smoking, drinking and whist were in order until 12, when the last bottle was drank, and then Prosser, tho cook, brought in cold ducks and a mighty lobster salad. A gallon bowl of brandy punch was made as con ducive to digestion. A tumbler of this finished the clerk, who went to sleep and was aroused at daybreak to drink a cup of coffee, and then all went down the steps and walked awav in the fresh meaning air, none the worse in appear ance from the Kight's potations. It is apparent that in a life like this it was the survival of tho fittest. The steady ones carried off tho honors, but gout, gravel and dropsy played havoc with the others, and these .complaints wcro charged to port and Madeira by tho doctors, and so the habit of drinking claret and light wines came into fashion. Gambling was almost universal, and many fortunes of old Philadelphians dis appeared in this way. Philadelphia Times. Financial Affair of Fnucr. The financial speech of tho ex-Prime Minister M. Loubet, iu the senate, is to be pasted, by order of that house, all over France. There are some statements in it worthy of consideration. Thus, the national debt is set down at 1,200.000. 000. It alsoappears that tho difficulty of making both ends meet has greatly in creased since M. Meline secured tho tri umph cf his system. The court of audits has discovered 211 irregularities in the last budgetary account of monoy paid. By irregularities it means embezzle ments, set down under the he id of " vi re men ts." Among them figures the $00 spent on behalf of a minister for "cab?,' and 640 a month for little "de jeuners at vouan s, where a min ister of justice entertained his friends. Tho "virements" at the home office are set down at 650, those of the war of fice at 1,330, those of tho colonial office at 2,090, those of tho rraulsc works of fice at 2,373. When M. de Freyeinet was war minister, tho "vircmeuts" of his department amounted to about 6, 000 a year. He, as minister of public works "and war, swelled the national debt more than any cno etc in power since Thiers' retirement. The redeem able loans wero an expedient of M. de Freyeinet to give employment to tbo public works department. London Jfcws. Some Foipta A bent Will. Do you know that you cannot will away your body ; that a c!anj in your will giving your body after death to any person or institution is not legally bind ing? Your executors cannot be forced to carry out your withes, though they may do so through deference to your ex pressed preferences. It is also important to remember that three witnesses are needed in devising real estate instead of two,as in bequeathing personal property. "When a woman will, she will, de pend on't," says tho proverb. But there are so many sharp turns and short curves in the course of the law that though a woman will3 to will what tho wilL how tho will iu nine cafes out of ten sho cannot mako her will so that she wills what the will as sho wills to will. New York Press. Ants 31 niters. Ants are terrible fighters. They have terypowerfnl jaws, considering tho size tf tbeir bodies, and therefore their method is by biting. They will bite ono another and hold 011 with a wonderful gnpof the jaws, even after all their legs havo been bitten off by other ants. Sometimes six cr eight ants will bo clinging with a death hold to one an other, making a peculiar spectacle, fcotno with a leg gouc and mibo with half the body gene.

Thn Conntess of Dudley a Devoted Wife to a Ilcpnlslve Unsband. G:orgina, countess of Dudloy, enjoys tho well deserved reputation of being uot only ono of tho most beautiful ma trons in London socioty, but also ono of tho kindest nud most warm hearted of tho great ladies of Mayfair. Shu is a de votod mother and deserves n groat amount of credit for tbo manner in which sho has brought up hor children and for tho dovoted care and loyalty which sho manifested to her eccoutrlo husband. Until his death her oxistenco was littlo better than a martyrdom, which sho boro with tho most exemplary paticuco and fortitude Tho late, earl was many years her senior and the re verso of handsomo, in addition to which ho in many matters was entirely insane, having inherited his madness from his father All this would havo caused many a mother to hesitato before even permitting her daughter to wod such a man, but Lady Dudley's mother, Lady Louisa Moncrioffe, dazzled by tho carl's iucomoof over $3, 000, 000 a year, forced her lovely daughter to bind herself to him. Tho contrast between tho beautiful woman and tho almost repulsive, look ing husband who was her constant com panion was so startling that it drew forth tho hackneyed exclamation of "bcanty aud tho beast" wherever they went Had Lord Dudloy been less wealthy ho would inovitably have boen confined in a madhouse, but even dur ing tbo closing years of his life Lady Dudley never permitted him to bo con sidered as insane, although ho seldom experienced lucid moments. Lady Dud ley was tho second wife of tbe late oarl and has seven children, six sons and ono daughter. Philadelphia Press. A Tough .Manxman. I'm a Manxman, and I havo inherited a rugged constitution. I seldom wear gloves even in your winters, and much of tho time I go without an overcoat. For many years I followed the sea, and I had ono adventure that few would havo lived to tell of. It was a midnight of December when I was ordered aloft to stow tho main royal, and beforo I" knew what I was about I fell from the yardarm into tho sea. No one on deck had noticed my fall, aud apparently no ono had heard my cry, for tho ship kept right on. Thero I was, with heavy boots and n heavy coat, alone amid tbo waves of tho Atlantic. You may not believe me, bnt I did not feel greatly alarmed. I managed to get out of my boots and coat, and thn I began to swim to keep myself afloat. Somehow I felt that I should be saved. Wo had passed a ves sel about sunset, and I thought she'd comoalcng and pick mo up. I had been a good swimmer all my life, and I kept afloat till daybreak, when that other vessel did como along and fish mo out, four hours after I fell in. We got into New York threo days after my ship ar rived, and when 1 camo aboard, as she lay at her wharf, my mates took me for a ghost New York Sun. Truthful. "General Grant was," says General Horace Porter in McCluro's Magazine, "without exception tbo most absolutely truthful man I ever encountered in pub lic or private life. Ho was not only truthful himself, but bo had a horror of untruth in others. " An anecdote illus trates this trait. Ono day whilu sitting in his bedroom in tho Whito House, where ho bad re tired to write a message to congress, a card was brought in by a servant An officer on duty at tho time, seeing that tbo president did not want to bo disturbed, remarked to tho servant, "Say tho president is not in." General Grant overheard tbo remark, turned around suddenly in his chair and cried ont to tho servant: "Tell him no such thing I I don't He mvself, and I don't want any ono to lie forme!" A Scrap of Paper. Not long ago, says a writer in The Realm, I was walking in tho garden at Hawarden with Mr. Gladstone. "What would you do with that?" ho said sud denly, pointing to a bit of newspaper lying on tho lawn. "I think I'd pick it up and take it away, " I answered, aston ished. "Ah! Well, this is what I do with it," said Mr. Gladstone. There upon ho placed tbo point of his walking stick on tbe middle of the scrap of pa per, twisted tho stick round and round, aud with much dexterity left tho bit of paper in the soil and out of eight "Tho Dnko of Bncclcugh taught mo to do that" ho said as we resumed our walk. "It is good for tbo ground. " Sheridan and Waterloo. An American gentleman recently went over tho field of Waterloo with a guido wbo boasted that ho escorted General Sheridau over tho scene of Na poleon's great defeat "What did Gen eral Sheridan say?" asked my friend. "Oh. nothing." "Ho must havo said something." "Well, ho only said. I was n good place for a fight ' " in Zante, one of tbo Ionian iiles, thera i3 a petroleum spring that is mentioned by Herodotus.
