ANOTHB* Another loom and blundering expres­ sion in the new tariff bill is pointed out. The paragraph placing salt upon the free list reads as follows : Salt in bulk and salt in hags, sacks, barrels or other packages; but the cover­ ings shall pay the same rate of duty as if imported separately, provided that if salt is imported from any country, whether independent or dependent, which imposes a duty upon that exported from the United States, then there shall be levied, paid and collected upon such salt the rate of duty existing prior to the pas­ sage of this act. The evident intention of the franters of the act was to impose a duty on salt pro­ duced in countries that impose a duty on American salt. But the use of the word imported," and the omission of any reference to the country of production, nullifies this attempt to pat a reciprocity arrangement into effect. The treasury department has decided that the para­ graph means exactly what it says--that all salt coming from England, for exam­ ple, no matter where it may have been produced, must be admitted to the United States free of duty, because Eng­ land admits American salt duty free. In other words, the question of whether doty must be paid on a cargo of salt will be determined, not by the country of pro­ duction, but by the port of shipment. A large portion of the salt produced in Europe is produced in countries which impose a duty upon salt, and they will now send their exports of that commod­ ity first to England and mainly to the port of Liverpool, whence it can be trans­ shipped, and, under the decision of the treasury department, come into this country free of duty. The Liverpool salt brokers will have their commission upon the salt of all Europe, and will perhaps be able to control largely the market of the United States. Thus a great home industry is to be in­ jured by the stupidity as well as the anti- protectionism of those who formulated the freak measure that has gone into effect. In this case the ruling of the treasury department is in accordance with the strict letter of the law. , mt Butter on the E!°is Board of Tr«d^ on Monday was firm at an advance over last week.

Morton was nominated by the Republicans of New York for Governor, on the first bal­ lot, in the convention held at Sarxtoga, last week. Chas. T. Saxton was named ~ for Lieutenant Governor. The attend- ? lance at the convention was large, both sin number of delegates and representa­ tive Republicans from different sections of the state. The platform adopted is a stalwart one and with the enthusiasm and harmony prevailing in the party it is confidently predicted that the Republi- cans will elect their ticket by 100,000 , majority in November. The people of the Empire State have not been so arous­ ed to the exigencies of the times since 1860. ma 'SUnrftnMS" Mine in Oolirado Seems to beta. Bonansa. Sis- Das Volksbladt, the German paper, published at Woodstock, last week changed its front and hoisted the Repub­ lican ticket at its mast-head and an­ nounced its intention in the future to join its fortunes with those of the Republican party. They give their reasons for this course at some length, bnt time and space will not permit us to publish them this week. At this time, when the people are beginuiog to realize that only by the wise administration of the Republican party I comes National prosperity, the Volksblatt has shown good sense in joining the large army of democrats who this year are flocking to the standard of protection and prosperity. We take pleasure in extending the right hand of i fellowship. m? sif; ••"The Marengo Republican says: "It Is asserted with much vehemence that three 0f the candidates nominated on the Democratic ticket--Messrs. Avery, Clark and Sheldon--who are candidates by pe­ tition on a so-called independent ticket, that their names will appear twice on the official ballot--on the regular Democratic ticket and on the independent. We do not so understand the case; the law is clear and explicit on this particular point, which says in regard'to "nomina­ tions by signature," or petition: 'Provided, that the name of any candi­ date whose name may appear in any other place upon the ballot, shall not be so added by petition for the same office ' Now this is the plain reading of the law, and the law so plainly stated that he who runs may read, and the duty of those who prepare the ballots is also made equally plain." JniJSJS WUUL £L miBIAIUS, It is well known thatthe true-blue tariff reformers are very much dissatisfied with the Wileon-Gorman bill, mainly on the ground that too much protection is left in it, but a criticism of decidedly novel character, considering its source, is made by that staunch Democratic organ, the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Free wool is the feature of the new tariff which is regard­ ed as of doubtful utility, and this is what the Plain Dealer says on the subject: A moderate tariff on wool would have afforded a much larger amount of reve­ nue, would have steadied the" price of wool in our own country, and would not have injured our manufactories. It is to be feared that free wool will take a large amount of money out of the country, and the only compensation for it is in the hope that an increase in manufacture at a lower cost will enable our exports in some measure to make up for the cost of importing foreign wool. There will be some very interesting figures at the end of the next fiscal year, and the question will be Folyed before two years go by as to whether free wool is not dear wool for America. There can hardly be a doubt that, with import duties abolished, there will be a considerable increase in the amount of money going out of the country to pay for foreign wool. Our own sheep growers will sell less wool, and the price of that which they do sell will be kept down to the foreign level. But can an export trade in woolen goods be built up that will compensate for the outflowing stream of wealth ? The Plain Dealer evidently has doubts on thin point. Suppose the mill-owners of this country and Europe are placed on an equality as to the prices they pay for wool. Can American man­ ufacturers then capture the "markets of the world" without reducing wages and other items in the cost of production to the European standard ? Our Cleveland contemporary seems to take but little stock in the assurances of the reformers on this point. Ohio leads all the states of the Union in the number of its sheep, and the Plain Dealer probably circulates to some ex­ tent among people interested in wool growing. It naturally looks with concern at the attack on this great agricultural industry, and discuss the subject from a business rather than a political stand­ point. The suggestion that free wool may prove a dear experiment for the United States is likely to find verification in experience of not altogether pleasing character. In the St. Paul, Nebraska, Republican of Sept. 12th, /we find the following in re­ lation to two former well known and highly respected citizens of McHenry, viz: D. S. Smith and A. A. Martin, which will be pleasat reading to their hosts of friends in this vicinity. Below we copy the article iu full: Probably none but the most intimate friends of I). S. Smith of this city are aware that he, together with other tnem- bersof the family, including hin son-in-law, A. Martin, well known here, are sole own­ ers of a rich gold and silver mine in Col­ orado which promises to yield large quantities of precious metal to the happy proprietors. Mr. Smith has been very conservative in speaking of the property and when approached by a Republican representative recently declined to give out anything for publication in regard to the matter, stating that, he might. b«con­ sidered a boaster if he e xpressed himself in regard to the future o* the mine. The fame of the piece of property has spread, however, as the following "write- up" in the Omaha Bee of Monday will show. " There have been some. marvelous de­ velopments of ore going on throughout San Juan county this year, and for promising results the Silver Queen is no second in the race, says the Silverton Miner. This property is situated in Mas­ todon gulch aud in the immediate vicin­ ity of the famous Sunnyside Extension Mine. The property was purchased by Messrs Martin and Smith, of Kearney, Neb , in 1881, and while it was a mere prospect. These enterprising and ener­ getic gentlemen have devoted their per­ sonal attention to the property every summer since, and development made during these years has rewarded their efforts by disclosing to them a body of as fine ore as has ever been shipped from that locality. After the purchase of the Silver Queen other locations were made, the Alamaden, Ida B , Leslie D., and Maud S. were located. In 1882 patents were issued upon the Silver Queen and Alamaden; the others are still unpatent­ ed. The group covers an area 1,200 by 1,500 feet. The development is princi­ pally upon the Silver Queen, which is the leading claim, and constituting some 600 feet of opened ground. The upper level abounds in very rich ore running from 300 to 2,000 ounces in silver and from four to thirty-one ounces in gold, A stone has been started in this level, and over "three care of this grade of ore is now ready for shipment. From three shots placed in the croppings above the upper workings over 1,000 sacks of ore were gathered. The middle and low­ er levels are not in so far as the upper one, nor is the ore so compact or high grade. It averages sixty odd ounces in silver, and from five to eleven ounces in gold. The ore in these levels is the same in character as that above, and it is ex­ pected that when they are extended fur­ ther the fabulous richness, of the upper level will be encountered there. All levels are in good ore; thore are 20 men at work, and Messrs. Smith and Martin, having sold out their business interests in the oast, intend giving the property their undivided attention and to work a full force continually and in­ crease the output of the mine to its ut­ most capacity. flBM Whou Th«y Were Bestowwd Vpm Unwilling Subject*. It is to be supposed, "in the judg­ ment of charity," at least, that col­ lege degrees are never conferred in these days except as they are deserved. This has not always been true, how­ ever, and partly for this reason, partly, perhaps, out of a feeling of modesty, some men have shunned honorary tliles almost as earnestly as others have coveted them. Speaking about this subject, the Boston Watchman says: Judge Peters is authority for the statement that after La Fayette had been made a doctor of laws by one of our colleges, Baron Stuben was in great fear lest he should meet with a similar mishap. Having to pass through a col­ lege town where the marquis had been thus distinguished, the old warrior halted his men and thus addressed them: "You shall spur de horse veil, and ride troo de town like de mischief, for, if dey catch you, dey make one doctor of you." The tough old soldier had no more respect for such a distinction than his countryman, Handel, who refused to accept the degree of doctor of music from Oxford. "Vat, frow my money away for dat-- de blockhead's vishl I no vant to be von doctor." There is a story that not long ago, when college. degrees were scattered somewhat lavishly, an illiterate rich man, having been honored with a de­ gree by a college which he had laid un­ der obligation, made a wager that he could obtain a similar honor for his servant. He won the wager, and,' encouraged by his success, made another that he could obtain a degree for his horse. This time, however, he lost. The col­ lege authorities got wind of his game, and, in answer to his letter requesting a doctorate for so and so, the president wrote a courteous note, saying that though the trustees were very anxious to oblige so good a friend of the col­ lege, they had found on examination of the records that though they had once conferred a degree upon a jackass there was no precedent for conferring one Upon a horse. w A RABBIT MINER. tki • m Br?*' Breckinridge Defeated ,33he contest for the Democratic nomi­ nation to congress in the seventh Ken­ tucky district ended in the defeat of Col. Breckinridge. The canvass has been one of the most peculiar and exciting in the history of American politics, and has bean conducted with great earnestness. Its salient features and the issues back of it are too well known to require reca­ pitulation at this time. The result is gratifying to all friends of clean public sentiment and to e^ll believ­ ers in those homely virtues which form the basis of a pure social structure. Breckinridge is repudiated after making a tremendous fight for "vindication," and itis to be presumed that his personal humiliation iB complete. He can hardly hope to re-enter public life at any future time by the suffrages of the people, al­ though it has been hinted that he may receive some executive appointment from Washington. W.C.Owens, the successful candidate for the nomination, is spoken of as one of the most brilliant and able men in Kentucky. He has been a state senator and speaker of the lower house of the state legislature. As a Democrat he will probably figure creditably in congress. Hie nomination will save the district for his party, as there is little doubt that Breckinridge would have been defeated ;,*t the polls by a Republican opponent How to* Vote- To vote the straight ticket make a cross mark in circle at the head of ticket aud no mark whatever on the ballot To vote a split ticket, let tbe circle en­ tirely alone, and make a cross mark in square at the side* of the name of each candidate voted for. SUBJUGATION OF WILD CATTLE. How It WM Skx.V.i t '.I&.Mi" KKV../ Accomplished by Primitive Europeans. The first and simplest use made of the animals from which man derives strength appears to have been brought about by the subjugation of wild cattle --the bulls and buffaloes. Several wild varieties of the bovine tribe were originally widely dissemi­ nated in Europe and Asia, and these forms must have been frequent objects of chase by the ancient hunters. Al­ though in their adult state these ani­ mals were doubtless originally intract­ able, the young were mild-mannered and, as we can readily conceive, must often have been led captive to the abodes of the primitive people. As is common with all gregarious animals which have long acknowledged the authority of their natural herds­ men, the dominant males of their tribe, these creatures lent themselves to do­ mestication. Even the first generation of the cap­ tives reared by hand probably showed a disposition to remain with their mas­ ters, and in a few generations this na­ tive impulse might well have been so far. developed that the domestic herd was established, affording perhaps at first only flesh and hides, and leading the people who made them captives to anomBdic life, that constant search for ftelds and pastures new which clmr acterizes people who are supported by y heir flotdta aiulliarda» WOODSTOCK.

The famous silver mipes of Fotosi, in South America, were discovered by an Indian who was in pursuit of an antelope. lie was climbing the steep slope of a hill and seized a bush to help himself up. The plant gave way and he started to fall backward, but by a desperate effort saved himself, and, falling forward, cut his nose against a projecting ledge of stone, says the New Y"brk Journal. Stopping to stanch the flow of blood, he chanced to look at the "stone which had done the damage, when, to his as­ tonishment, he perceived it was almost pure silver. This story may be apochryphal, but tale which comes from Mexico is tolerably well authenticated. Ac­ cording to this narrative, one of the richest mines in that land of mineral wealth was found by a rabbit. An Indian was hunting rabbits and his dog chased one to a hole in a hillside. The Indian hesitated for a moment whether to dig out the rabbit he had seen enter or go in pursuit of another. Determining finally that one rabbit in hole was worth more than half a dozen on a rocky hillside, he got a spade and went to work. Before h# had turned over half dozen spadefuls of earth he had for­ gotten all about the rabbit, for he made the thrilling discovery that he was handling almost solid silver. The man dropped his spade and ran to his employer with the intelligence, the latter returning with him to the spot to see for himself and verify the dis­ covery. The rabbit escaped; at least it supposed it did, for it enters no more into the story, but its memory is preserved in the name of the mine, which, being translated into English, signifies the "Rabbit's Den."- It would have been well for the Indian if he had escaped when the rabbit did, for, according to the story, the poor fellow was murdered by the Spaniard, who desired to keep the secret of the mine and was afraid that the Indian might reveal it and the gov­ ernment might step in and claim either the whole or a large part of the pro­ ceeds.

The mining of coal is attended with many dangers, but none more to be dreaded than the dust explosions that are liable to occur at any instant and against which, in many instances, not even the most Ordinary precautions are taken. The air becomes thick with dust, which by some means comes in contact with flame, and the fire, spread ing with inconceivable rapidity, causes the most terrific explosions. It claimed that all danger in " this direc tion may be removed by a carefully arranged system of spraying water through all the passageways. The wet particles at once fall to the ground and may be washed away by falling water or trodden down by the feet of the miners. Recent investiga­ tion seems to prove that gas alone pro­ duces comparatively few pf the more dreadful accidents, but that gas and coal -dust mingled make an explosive compound that is greatly to be dreaded. On Board of a Donkey. A man-of-war was lying off Gibraltar, and permission was given the men to go ashore for the day.
