' The PiMtoflM ^ Postmaster Oeneral Howe in his annual re­ port reccommends that a system of postal sav­ ings-banks should be inaugurated.

Upon the vexed question of the tit'e to Indian lands, the Beere'ary saVs th»t the savage Indian objects to land in several y because he has been taught, both as a question of political economy and Indian morals, thnt it is a crime to divide the land and iillow i ne man to o« n it to the • x- cluMon of ano her. To the end hat the Indiana may l>e secure in their titles and have the assnr- anc tha', they will not be r mo ed except by their free (consent, he recommends the passage of a law to e ve each tribe a patent for the land the Government has gu r nteed t it, leaving the Indians to determine the question of allot­ ment lor themselves.

The Secretary indorses this recommendation of the Commissioner of the Land office for the repeal of the pre-emption law and ths modification of the Homestead law. The Pre-emption law, intended as a me ns of enabling th" citizen wishing to make a home to do so cheaply and speedily, has been used largely U> aggregate large quantities of lands for the benefit of the speculator, and not for those wli >!»e benefit it was intended. It will be useless to repeal the pre-etqption laws if the opportunity still exists to commit the same frauds u der the cover of the Homestead law.

ADJUSTING THE TARIFF. Report of the Commission--Sweeping Is- forms Keoommended. The report of the Tariff Commission, says a Washington telegram, is a great surprise, both to the revenue-reformers and the protectionists. Such extensive changes as are proposed were not hoped for by the former or feared by the latter. The range of reduction of 90 to 60 per cent, on all articles which enter into consumption was certainly not anticipated. Neither was it expected that the commission would recom­ mend a reduction of duties on sugar of from 40 to 50 per cent., nor the use of the p<?larlncope, nor the admission of so manf articles to the free list As a clap the rev­ enue- eformers are much better satisfied with the rejiort, so far as they understand it, than ti:e protectionists arc. It is believed at a first glance at the suggestions ot the commits on that they will form a go d basis upon which to provide for a thorough revision, and that after all it may be at least said that the work of the much-ridiculed commission has not been value­ less. They propose to abolish compound duties with a few exceptions. They have revised the oustQm-house regulations in about a hundred particulars, and recommend the abolition of all fees, charges and commissions. The free 1 st Is extended by inclu ing many new articles, sue 1 as wood-pulp, quinine, all dye extracts, crude chemicals, and all gre n fruit except lem­ ons orange* an I grain's. 'Ine duty on these fruits is made specific. They abo ixh compound duties on iron ores and fix a specific duty of 50 cents a ton They abolish all com' ound duties O 1 manuf ctured t bac o and put a duty of (3 on cig.irs cigarettes, etc. They prop seto abol­ ish all compound duties on raw woo s and to make » reduction of about 2% cents a poun i on me lium fine woo', which includes the class genei ally sheared by Western growers. On manufactured woolen ar icles of lower grades they have made li.rge reductions. Ou cheap woolen blankets the tariff is reduced about r>0 per cent.

Feven me 1 bers presented petitions In Ihe THE TREASURY. Anmul Beport of Secretary Fto'gsr dw National Finances. The report rt the Secre ary of fie Treasury Is a lengthy d^eumen --nearly, if not quite, twice the bul'c of President Arthur's message--nnd f'tirly bristles with tabular showings i f the na­ tional finances We present below, in a summarized form, the main points of general Interest contained in this, the most im­ portant of ail the departmental reports. For the fiscal year ending .Tune w. 188J, the revenue of the Government exceeded the total or lnary ex­ penses $l45.!i4*,810, which, together with t JO,7:17,- 0 '4 drawn from the ca h balance in the treasury, was applied to t e reduction of the national <'eht. While the net increase of the revenue from all sources was $i'i 74i,!»S8 by the natural growth and thrift of the country, and not by in­ crease of tax levies, the expenditures < f the Government decreased $2,731,448. Tie decre se in the interest on the publ«" debt about balanced the increase in pensions. It is estimated that if the taxes should rem in throughout the year as now the surplus would amount to about $75,000,000. The coinage of silv-.T do'lars under the present act up to Nov. 1, 1H82, bad amounted to $12-1,329,880. There were, on the first rf last month 2,4'0 tons i of silver coin stored in the public vaults The Secretary thinks there should leahattn the coin'go, that the department should be autho ized to cr.in onlv ao muc as will be necessary to supply the demand. The gold certificates are passed < ver with a simple statement o the amount ready for issve ($1:18,- 620.'0 1 and the amount activlly issue 1 up to Nov. 27 $.11, iiKi.ooo). No di cussion of the re- stric ive or ew Y rk policy is entered into. 'Ihe total export of ooin and bullion for the year was H4'.Ml",t7!>; the total import, $1 > • 472 390. The cdnage of gold amounted to $80,413 447, about (11 000,0011 in excess of any previous year The mints did a large st oke Of business in minor coins, of whioh there wer<> no less than 4(5,805 7j6 pieces truck, worth $344 7GT.- Tfi. Over 40,000.000 of these pieces we>e pennies, the rf st for the most part. 5-cent nickels, the demand for which was very lar-ze. The total stock of United States coin and bullion available for coinage, not count ng anything but g jld and silver amounted, Oct 1, to $77:1, 81,7 >1. The Secretary recommends the rep-al of the special t-ixes on national banks, which, ho says, derives little or no profit on their circulation. He says that nearly one-h If of the interest- bearing funded debt of the Uni ed States $1,400,- 000,000i is held by the banks national, State and Srivate, thus forming the basis of our own me-ium of ex' hange. It follows, he claims, that the dobt could not be reduced more than that amount without endangering the stabil­ ity of our banking system. 1 he evil practice of overoertiflcation of checks by n monal banks is . nimadverted upon, an t those who pe sist in it are plainly warned that they will be prosecute I under "the law. The Secretary savs, in reg-n d to public moneys, that, so ar as known, there h ve been no losses to G ver ment from public officer * engaged either in the leceipt, the safe keeping or the disbursement of the public funds. The cost per cent, of col­ lecting custo'ns dues was 1 ever so low as now, and the internal- cvenue service seems to be 1 > most excellent eondition, from an econom­ ic point of view. The t tal receipts of customs were lo4; o Internal rcsenue, $1,6 523.- 273 I he Socetan strongly urges radical chan es ii the classification of s gar. Fo the est he discusses tariff reform in conne tion with the general subject of the reduction of t xation. Mr. Folger would abolish all internal taxation except that on spirits, fermen'ed liquors and to­ bacco, making a reduction of $22,000,000, and still leaving a surplus of $'.18,00 ',001. That he wou d ta'<e from customs by a general sys em of re- duc ion, especially on raw materials in general, and sugar in particular ihe rep 1 t state* that foreign 00^meroe of the cow try shows a balance in favor of expor i to the amonnt of i early $ 6.' 00, 00. Over * per cent, of our exports consists of agricultural products. Tne tonnage of vessels owned in the United Stat-s and engaged in the foreign t ade, is still declin ng, but the tonnage of those in the domestic trad'; increased more than ihree tlmr-H as much as foreign tonnage dccrea-ed. There were',37ti vessels built and documented as vessels of the United States during the year. Of these 502 wee steam vessels. Of the c ca­ bined imports and exports of mcrchandi e l<5 per cent, only was conveyed in Ame icnn vessels. The Secretary makes no suggestion on the sub­ ject of encouraging ship-bunding. M-. l olger discusses the pleuro-pneumonia question, reco nixing the fact that it is confined to cattle in certain districts of the Atlantio St ites, and has no foo hold in the ' est. He says that arrangements are being made which will justify the removal of the present ritlsh embaruo on American ive *to k There is a larg - demand lor stock cattle in England, wh cli this co ntry could and would supply, to a g eat extent, if the Englisu Government was not afraid Of contagion THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Thurlow Weed's Memory. "My wife told me," continued Mr. Weed, "that I must train my memory. 80 when I came home that night, I Bat down alone and spent fifteen minutes trying silently to recall the events of the day. I could remember little at first ; now I remember that I could not then remember what I had for breaklast. Finally I found I could recall more. Events came back to me more minutely and more accurately. At ter a fortnight or so of this, Cathaiine said, 'Why don't you tell it to me?

Anthony Trollope, the famous English novel­ ist, died at London on the 6th of December, in the 68th year of his ag>;. The death of Mr. Trol­ lope is the loss of the last link between the old school of fiction and the new. What made hia w< itings great was their fidelity to actual life He did not possess the melodramatic power of Dickens, nor the keen satire of Thackeray, nor the metaphysical analysis of George Kliot., nor the realistic i>ower of description of Charles Kingslev ; and he did not have the Ingenuity in plot-weaving or Williie Collins, nor the power of fascinating and holding the attention of his reader that Charles Iieade has; his forte lay In building a no\ el, distinct lrom romance, but being an analysis of real characters Hnd the arrangement of real-- his is possible and natural --events and circumstances. In this Anthony Trollope was the leading novelist of his time. He never exceeded the limits ot probable matter in Ills stories, and his wi rks are 1 ruei to life t an either those of Dickens or Thackeray, being at, the same time remarkable for tlie command of language which they dl-play. li has been truth­ fully said 1 hat his novels have 110 plot in ihem, but this is just what English lile it--1 lenty of character, but little incident in it.

Romany literature is like the ballads of Homer, inasmuch as it is entirely oral; yet, unlike the Iliad, it is limited in extent. They are full df proverbs, parables and quaint stories. Among the many maxims found with the Romany folks, here are a few: "Never buy a handkerchief or choose a wife by candle light." "Nice reeds make nice baskets." "It's like a kiss--good for nothing unless divided between two." "Never ask for anything when you can't get it." "There may be adversity in a large house as well as a small one." "Keep it a secret in your own heart and no body will know it." "Clean water never comes from a dirty place." "Behind bad luck comes good luck." "There is a sweet sleep at tlie end of a long road." "Wait till the moon rises." "A11 ass that carries you ia better jthan a horse that throws you." "The true way to be wise ia to hear all and bear in mind." "The man who' has not the whip hand of his tongue and temper is not fit to go iireonipftiiv." "Change your side according Io the circumstances." Dressing Men by Contract.

"Would it be possible forme to sell the Tri bune a story ?" he continued. "What kind of a tale have you gronnd out ?" asked the liox'se reporter. "The story," said the visitor, "is one in which the triumph of love is depict­ ed, and " "It isn't one of those 'and as Ethel stood there in the moonlight, her lithe ligu re sharply outlined against the West­ ern sky, there MOS a loud crash in Coa-stoliff Castle, and the girl knew tlint her mother had dropped the doughnut jar* kind of stories, is it--be­ cause they won't do said the reporter. "There is nothing at all about dough­ nuts in this story," replied the visitor, rather haughtily, "but if yon like I can read a portion of it." "All right." ""Where shall I begin?" "Anywhere," replied the horse re­ porter. "Suppose yon give ns the last sentence of it." "I should hardly think " "Oh, never mind that. We do all the thinking for young authors that come up here." The visitor seated himself and read as follows: For answer Gladys' beautiful eyes dropped, but she give him both her hands; find there under the heavy fruited trees, the golden bees flying all about them, and the air filled with their dreamy monotone, he drew her upon his breast, and, raising her long ringlets to his lips, kissed them rever­ ently. "That's the last sentence, is it?" asked the horse reporter. "Yes sir." "I should hope it was. Tt makes me tired to read alxmt such ducks " "Why, I don't see " began the au­ thor. "Of course yon dont. Probably you were the hero of the novel. Did you ever hear of Thompson's colt?" The visitor admitted his ignorance ooncerning that historical animal. "Well, Thompson's colt," continued the horse reporter, "was such an eter­ nal idiot that he swam across the river to get a drink. . Now that fellow in your story is a dead match for him." "I dont understand--" "Probably not. It is not expected of literary people. But I will tell you. This young fellow in your story is out under an apple tree holding a girl's hand, ihn't he ?" "Yes." "And, according to the story, he 'raised her long ringlets to his lips, and kissed 'them reverently.' That right?" "Certainly." "Now what do yon think of a yonng man that wonld go nibbling around a girl's back-hair when she had her face with her ? Such stories do not possess Hie fidelity to nature that should ever characterize the work of genius. No, my genial imbecile, you cannot get the ^weight of vuxa powerful JOUlllltl OU me side of any such young man as your story depicts. We were onoe young and up to the apple-tree racket our­ selves." "Good da^" said the author, starting for the door/ "So long," was the response. "Make George act like a white man, in your story, and come around again."--Chica­ go Tribune. Some Statements About "Snobbery." The congregation of a fashionable New York church is just at present en­ ergetically discussing the question of "Ought we to visit her?" a large major­ ity of the members, it is yeported, in­ clining to the negative. The "her" in this caso is the mother of the pastor, a woman ot irreproachable moral charac­ ter and unobtrusive manners. Although no fault can be found with her manners or her morals, she lias in tlie past l>een guilty of that which determines a soci­ ety ol Christains to withhold from her tlie ordinary courtesies of social life. Her offense is that, in former days, in order to support herself and family of children, she pursued the calling of a washer-woman, and a people who wor­ ship a son of a carpenter refuses to ex­ tend social recognition to a worthy wo­ man who by the faithful performance of lowly duties lias aided her son to at­ tain his present honorable position. This is an illustration of the spirit exhibited by society toward women who are compelled to support themselves. It is still disgraceful for a woman to work for a money consideration. Ac­ cording to the code of society it is far more creditable for a woman to depend on the grudgingly-bestowed bounty of relatives or friends --to be, in fact, a pauper in all but name--than for her to go out into the business world and win a livelihood for herself. A girl may accept costly gifts from her male acquaintances on the mcst flimsy pre­ texts and not lose caste, but if she en­ ters a factory, store or office, the doors of society are closed against her. This applies to all the industries, and to all but a few of the professions. For the great body of working women society has only snubs or at best condescend­ ing patronage. Contempt for those of the sex who work for wages is deliber­ ately fostered. In a private school in this city the young girls when instruct­ ed in deportment are warned against walking on the west or east side ave­ nues at 6 o'clock or thereabouts, and adjured never to appear on the street with ungloved hands, and all this that they may not be mistaken for working f irls. Could snobbishness go further ? t is not to l)« wondered at that in order to escape so disgraceful (?) a fate as that of being compelled to support themselves, girls should resort to all manner of unwomanly and indelicate maneuvers to secure rich husbands. If a girl is without money, and if she may not earn it, she has no choice but to en­ deavor to marry it, and if the spectacle of a girl paying court with matri­ monial intent to a rich man is repulsive, the blame for the unwomanly exhibition should bo laid at the door of society, which scorns the woman who works.-- Art Interchange* - l«r!y Glass-Wsktny ht tmurtemi 3.'he first glaqs-iaotory established in America was in Virginia, soon after the settlement of that oolony. It was situ- - a ted in the woofls, about a< mile from ; Jamestown, but we have only very meagre records concerning it. The • product was principally beads, for use in trading with the Indians. A sum of money was raised in 1621 to start a factory solely for the manufacture of * glass beads, and Italian workmen were brought over to operate it. In 1632 this factory--we are not sure if there were any others--was destroyed by the - Indians, who attacked the colony, and glass bead making was not resumed in Virginia until a century and a half later. The colonists of Massachusetts, wanting bottles, tableware, and window glass, and not satisfied with the tardy • business of obtaining their supplies' from Europe, determined to establish factories for themselves. A glass works was accordingly started at Braintree at an early date, and at Salem in the year 1639. These were very successful, being fostered and encouraged by tbe govern­ ment of the colony of Massachusetts Bay. The one at Braintree flourished until the time of the Revolution. In 1683 a glass honse was established in ' Philadelphia, and New York City had at least two, as far back as 1732. Win­ dow glass of an inferior quality was made in New Jersey during the Revo­ lutionary war. After the revolution^ glass manufacture was fostered by both the federal and state governments and ; a protective duty of 10 per eent. was levied on all imported glassware by the former. The Legislature of New York, in 1788, advanced £3,000 for eight years to* the proprietors of a glass faetory near Albany, and in 1803 the State of Massachusetts granted a bounty to a factory in Boston for every table of window glass made. The industry was similarly encouraged in Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia, all of which States had factories in operation before the beginning of the present century. General O'Hara established a bottle - and crown glass works at Pittsburgh in 1896. It was a great success and is, al­ though greatly enlarged and modified,- in operation at the present time, under < the ownership, we believe, of Thomas Wightman & Co. The success of Gen­ eral O'Hara induced others to try the - business, and the war with Great Britain in 1812, caused a scarcity of glass, as well as a great increase in the price of that commodity. Pittsburgh being re­ mote from the scene of active operations and comparatively free from the danger of invasion, offered great inducements for glass manufacture, and, accordingly, we find five factories in full blast here in 1814, making bottles, window-glass, and tableware. One of these was the - flint glass-works of Bakewell & Co., the first of its kind on the continent. The following statement shows the progress of this industry in the United States- from 1832 to 1870. In 1832 there were 44 factories in this country; in 1840, 81;; in 1850, 94; in 1860,112; and in 1870, 201. The value of the product in 1832 was $2,500,000; in 1840, $4,000,000; in 1850, $4,641,000; in I860, $9,000,000; and in 1870, $19,233,000. In 1870, of the 52 factories in Pennsylvania (more than one-fourth of the number in the United States), 47 were in Pittsburgh, and all in active operation, and that number i@'J nearly doubled at present, as was shown in the abstract 1880. THE Empress Eugenie is reported to be very wealthy. Her property really consists of three houses in the Rue do l'Elysee, valued at $120,000 but mort­ gaged for $100,000; two houses in the Rue d'Alba, valued at $180,000, but mortgaged to tlie Credit Foncier for • $160,000; the estate of Les Jucheres; the Solferino estate, valued at $30 >,000, = but on which there is a charge of $200,- 000; a small estate at Arnes in the Pyrenees, valued at^8,000; the Palais do l'Elysee, at Biarritz, valued at $200,00 ); a small mansion in the Rue Courcelles ; a chalet at Vichy; the palace at Vei> sailles, valued at $315 000; a life annuity of $15 000; and the estate she lately bought from Mr. Longman. An Apt Retell* A party of Texan wagoners, after a hard day's pull, were chatting around the c mp fire while they smoked their pipes. " Sambo, me bhoy," exclaimed Pat, a rollicking Irishman, to a jolly durkey, "tel us wh it makes vonr nose so flat." "Dun'no, Mars Pat," answered Sam, "but I 'spec it's to keep me from pokin' Into udder people's business." AVARICE is said to bo the eon of ©fit age, and Byron, who grew old pre­ maturely, acknowledged its power. He says, in one of his letters, written two years before his death: "My notions of money coincide with those of all men who have lived to see that every guinea is a philosopher's stone. The noblo feeling of cupidity grows upon us with years." In some parts of Spain where butter is a rare article of merchandise it is sold not by the pound but by the yard. It is brought from the mountain districts in sheep intestines, like sausages that aie "tied off" with string in lengths as required by the buyer. To travelers butter by the inch seems rather curious bargaining; the product is usually neitj^P? palatable nor particularly clean. THE MARKETS. tfEW YORK. Rira.. Hoos.. COTTON.
