Tlio democnitiu party, ho said, had al

only proper motive of taxation wan to
provide tlio necessary rovenuo for use of

liouud to contrlhuto his just share. Tax

and indefensible. Tho democrat lu party
was hi favor of ruvising and reducing tho
tariir, and would carry It out unless
thwarted in its purjioso by u combination
of democrats, actuated by local interests,

Washington, March ltUh, 1883.
Thanks to tho Uopuhlicati obstructionists
Mr. Mill's tariir bill has not been repor
ted to the Housu. Tho time is belli'.' well
put In, however, by thu friends of the
measure in missionary work among the
few misguided democratic members, who
worship still at tlio shrine of protection.
It in now claimed that tho number of
democrats pledged to support tho bill
when It ucls Ik' fore the 1 Ioil.-tn Is unlv
live short of a majority, ami it is hoped
that enough Itopublicans will vote for it
to insure its pussngu.
Hut not much faith can lw attached to
that hope. llcpublicauB seldom vote for
u measure that is opitosed by their lead
dors, no mutter what their own opinions
may be, a ixjliticul lesson which the Dem
ocrats have never yet learned. However
it may result the Democrats who bcliuvu
in keeping tho pledges inudo to tho peo
ple, propose makiui! uu honest ellbrt to
redeem those pledges. If they full tho
causo of their failure will be apparent to
all.
Thu latent applicant for Maine's man
tle is Senator Hale, of Maine. Ho ban
been appointed Chairman of the Senate
Committee to investigate the alleged vio
lations of tho civil service law by the
Democrats. 1 his is expected to give him
a boom. It Is more likely to develope in
to a boomerang.
A ruunr w.h current hero tills week
that Senator Vest, of Missouri, proposed
retiring from public life ut tho end of his
present term, 'thu Senator brands the
report as u falsehood and s.iy.s that hu
Deliovcs It originated wiui ine isepuuii
Cans, who would doubtless be glud to see
him retire.
Senator oorheos, who In very fond of
n joke, has lots of fun with the Republi
can CHMiiitorn who are eiiowii as candi
dates for thu Presidency. Ono day thin
week he hud a colored cartoon untitled
"Just drauini: them on" which ho was
show ing around thu Senate Chamlier. It
represented u fox laying on tho ground,
thu head Mug that of Maine. One eye
wun closed ami thu other partly ojhmi and
woro a very viuo-awae expression, a
Dock of L'cef-e. each ono wearing tho head
of a Republican Presidential candidate,
Sherman in front, wuh represented as ap
proaching tho icciimlent fox. Thu
:ce."e included near, r.vuris, ingaiis,
Uncock, Doihjw and several other would-
bo candidates. Everybody took tho Joku
good-nuturcdly, even thu gentleman who
woru caricatured.
Acting Secretary Thompson, of thu
Treasury Department, ono of tho K'st
ami most cotnctcni omeiain ovonqt
iiolntcd by Mr. Cleveland, has written a
letter to tlio Secretary of Statu, hi reply to
a communication irom lion, ir.i Daven
port in regard to an alleged lack of iu
cipnx'ity between tho United States and
Canada iu tho luqiortation of nursery
products, such as plants, shrubs, etc., in
which he savn that thu matter in trovern-
ed entirely by the lawH of tho respective ',
countries, our laws admitting those arti-1
clon free, while the Canadian luilM' re
quires u duty of twenty jer cent ad val-1
orein on such articles. Ihusu being thu
facts ho does not heu how thu Tieasury
Department can take any action to rectify
thu injustice complained of by Mr.
DaveiiKirt. '
Senator Colqult'n sieech, miidu early i
thin week, wan strongly iu favor of rev-,
uutiu reform an outlined iu the President's ,
mcssugu. Hu said it is now tlmo for the
distinct assertions of Democratic princi
ples, tlio hearty maintenance of them
ami redemption of Democratic pledges.
Thu reign of thu opposing principles had
been long enough, and hail already genu
far towards converting the I U into u
plutocracy. Tho high tar hud
always been that of thu Torv iu
ioliticn, thu friend of class lcglslau i
principle.
Secretary Falrchlld. in answer to a rt,
quest for his opinion on SenatorSherman's
hill for thu investment of the funds for thu
redemption of national bank notes, has
written a lougletter on thu subject to the
Senate llnanco eoiiin!tlco. In disapprov
ing of tho inuasuru hu ohitn out thu had
rosultn that would probably follow its
adoption, llosays; "tho allernato ex
pansion and contraction resulting from
this bill, would hi my judgment only
promote speculation ; not healthful busi

squarely on thu head. Any llnuuclal mea

Ozokk as A Gr.iiMii'im:. Iii some ex
periments with ozonu as a curative agent,
an English lady, so far advanced in con
sumption that her caso apiicarcd heir
less, has been treated with inhalations of
this gun, with results described as mar
velous. After a month's treatment, thu
upimtltu wan repined, the sleep culm and

prospect of recovery, Tho ozono wan
prepared by passing a stream of oxygen
through thu current of an imluction'coii,
and was administered with utmosiiherlc
air in thu proportion of 1 iu f. Tlio ex
crhncntcr has reached tho conclusion
tlmt the or.ono treatment Is specially ap
plicable to all germ diseases.
Wind and Ei.kctiiicity. Tlio samo

to warn htm of his danger. At n station
near tho mouth of thu Seine u windmill
Is made to drive a dynamo, thu electricity
produced being stored in suitable batter
ies, mid afterward employed lu lighting
beacotiB to umldo thu seamen. Possibly
tho windmill dynamos might bo adapted
to domestic purjioses.
In the early forms ot electric Incan
descent lumps thu filament was of plati
num, and it wan noticed that a llhu of tho
metal soon formed on thu Inside of tho
glass bulb. In recent investigations Dr.
Alfred Berliner lion found the phenome
non to bo due to thu Icarlnc away of solid
particles by the violent emission of gasen
thu platinum hud absorbed.

An Ancii-.nt Homu.-t-TIio primitive man
may bu said to bu absolutely unknown,
and it wan not until after they had miidu
considerable progress toward civilization
that our prehistoric ancestors loft works
by which wu have learned something of
their rude life. Tills picture of tho mis
erable homo of thu ancient European who
for it considerable period, dwelt iu caves,
or oven more sheltered places among thu
rocks, has Ik-uii drawn by Prof. N. Joly,
of Totilousu. Iu 'this rocky ictreut he
took his meals, and allowed thu remains
of his food, uninviting to our fastidious
palates, to collect. Thu tlusli of thu mam
moth, of thu great cave bear, of thu am
phibious rhinoceros, of thu horse, the au
rochs, thu reindeer, thu fox, and, doubt
less, also wild fruits and roots, formed
his staple diet. Usually the ilesh of thu
animals was eaten raw; hut tire had long
been known, and even pottery had been
invented, and wan used for culinary pur
poses. Hunting was his principal occu
pation. Armed with the stone ax, or
mace, with tho lliut-headed lance, javu In
or arrow, hu Wildly attacked thu animals,
often of colossal slu, which then (iconlcd
our lauds, and of which many have lung
since disaiijieared. Hu clothed hlniM'lf
lu their skins, which hu had curly learned
to smooth with the scriicr, to soften and
prepare with fat or marrow, and later by
moans of a stone polisher. During thu
reindeer age fish were piocured villi u
barbed harjioou, and thu shooting of
binls wan no longer neglected Thu
Ismon and teeth of thu reindeer unit of
coiitcniMirury animals were used in thu
manufacture of weapons and tools, and
even articles of luxury and ornament.
The arts of design were born, ami thu
luluilcur hunters of Pcrlgoid and thu bear
hunters of thu Pyieuees employed their
leisme lu curving their weapons, and In
drawing or engraving on wood, bono and
Ivory the llgures of thu animals, mid uven
their own linage.
