Mrs. Willis, an aged lady of Cumber
land county, tKy., died recently and lefi
$1,000 to the editor of the Glasgow (Ky.)
Times in token of the c mfort she had
found in reading his paper iu her sorrow.
Every Western editor will now begin to
print columiiS of comfort for aged and rich
women.
The only memorial to Capt. Cook at
present existing in England is a mural tab
Jet erected by his widow, who died in 1837,
having survived him fifty-six years, in a
chuich at Cambridge, where one of his
sons, who died an undergraduate , is buried.
Mrs. Coek left 1,000 to maiutain the
tablet, the surplus to go to the poor of the
parish.
Lord Lan8downe Lord Carlisle writes,
said it was unquestioned that the three
greatest novelists iu the world were
Cervantes, Fielding, and Le Sage. Mac
aulay, who was present, said he thought
"Don Quixote" the first novel of the
world, and "Clarissa Harlowe" the next.
He thought it well established that "Gil
Blaa" is a translation from Freuch novels.
The Cleveland Plaindealer says the
question is lo be tested whether one man,
and ho elected by fraud, shall overrule the
Legislative Department of the Government,
and a majority of the people who elect that
Department. The Democrats in Congress
must repeal the infamous Supervisor law
which gives absolute controlat the polls to
the paid minions of au unscrupulous and
fraudulent Administration. Oue mar
power must not control.
D ckens, when over here, said one
evening that he always found the people
most like his characters objecting to
them as improbable and extreme. A
Mr. Kickleby had talked to him in so
peculiar a strain that he was thinking,
"Good Heavens! she is going to charge
.ae with putting her into my book;''
when sna began to observe on the char
acter as utterly unnatural. So with sev
eral Pecksnifis.
It is said of northern Texas by the
Dallas Herald that the tillers of the soil
there make far more provisions than they
nave any use for; always have -eorn and
meat for sale, and their cotton and cat
tle crops corne in as clear profit. They
are raj. dly growing wealthy, and in less
than fifteen years from now north Texas
will be as prosperous as the blue grass
region of Kentucky ever was in its palm
iest days. ,
The debt reports of France show that
one million and abalf of the people -bold
over $1,000,000,000 iu 5 per cnt. rentes,
aud nearly two million more hold $2,452
9S1.000. This result has been secured by
the issue of small bonds. The mass of
the people have an opportunity to invest
their earnings in government securities at
a fair rate of interest. Thus the bonds
remain at home and the government and
people are benefited in a vauety of ways.
If more facilities are afforded to the masses
in this country a similar result will follow.
The Russian peasants, though 'officially
under medical supervision, find it hard
to secure the services of a doctor. The
physioian of a district with perhaps fifty
square miles, can but hurriedly pass
through the village once every month.
Under these circumstances many of the
peasants, when suffering 'from disease,
resort to conjurors, who practice their
incantations with holy water, and to the
trainers of tamed bears, who lay the sick
man on the floor and compel a bear to
walk over him several times.
A new play by Charl,js Reade, called
"A Woman's Life," has been produced in
San Francisco, with Rose Eytinge in the
principal part. It is a melodrama of the
most lurid sort. The San Francisco
Bulletin says: "The writer seems to
have worked with the idea predominant of
making each scene as telling as possible
and ef working up exciting tableaux."
The Call says: 44 The piece is a sort of
modified melodrama, with a story, and ia
followed clcsely by the audience. " The
Chronicle condemns tke play as bad ic
nearly every respect.
THE DEBATE IN CONGRESS.
Tha debate on th Army Appropriation
bill was continued fc the House yesterday,
when speeches were made by Messrs.
Singleton aud Tucter Democrats ; Wea
ver, De'La j aiyr, Jafies and Wright,
Greeiibadke.'s, and flaWtey atW Garfield,
tiepublicans, the Utter closirg 'he debate.
A vote is to be i&kn iu the House to-day,
and on MonrTafne fijht will be transferred
to the Senate. Mr. Tuckers speech wavj- .- . " . ,.
... 17.. , partisans, tnan whom nose are more skill-
especially good ; it was highly applauded
and he was warmly congiatulatedt Of the I
Greenbackers Mr. De La Matyr, o'
Indiana, plainly stated his intention to
vote for the bill as it now stands; Mr.
Jones, of Texas, opposed the placing of
political legislation on an appropriation
bill and Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania,
had never heard disputed the right of the
House to engraft on appropriation billb
other necessary measures ol legislation
Thus, of the four Greenbackers beard
from, two may certainly be scored as in
tending to vote for the bill.
Thus far the advantages are certainly
with the Democrats. We believe that the
bill will undoubtedly pass both Houses
and we do not believe that Mr. Haves wil,
e
veto it. We think that he wili either
allow it to become a law by default or else
will do as President J oh a eon did, sign in
and send in with it a protest.
IMPORTS AMD EXPORTS.
Among the many commodities which
occupy a prominent position in its rela
tion to cur material wealth, an i which
has always been an important factor in
the commerce bf the nation, we must
nominate iron, in all its different forme
and shapes, whether in the native ore as
it comes from the minas or in its various
stages of manufacture, as one of the mobt
notable. In taking this article into
account, we shall include, not only iron,
in all its conditions of ore and manufac
ture, but we shall also inc ude steel as
belosgiug legitimately to the same class.
Since the formation of the government
we have been iargly dependent upon
foreign industry for articles of ruanufac
tered iron and steel, and down t within
a very few years a large proportion of the
machinery, tools and other commodities
necessary to onr use and proste -ity have
been imported from abroad. During the
past ten years, however, there has been
a most decide'd change so that now, while
our exports of iron arc much larger, oar
imports of the same commodity are materi
ally less.This condition of things establishes
two noteworthy facts: First, that our
mining interests have been more fully de
veloped, and, secondly, that our iron
and steel manufacturing industries have
been perfected to such a degree that we
are no longer dependent upon foreign
artisans in those metals for the manufac
tured articb. We can now furnish what
ever we need through the skill of our
own mechanics. To show the increase in
our exports wagiv the follow figures as
taken from the report in question.
Exports of iron and steel and
the manufactures thereof
in the year ending Julo
80, 1878.
...$15,882,608
In 1868 8,258,700
Increase in ten years 7,623,808
This increase has a much greater sig
nificance and force when we compare it
with the imports of the same commodi
ties in different years, aud to illustrate
and give a more complete comprehension
of the matter we give the value of the
imports of iron and steel for the years
1873 and 1888, (a period of five years)
respectively. In giving these figures we
name the aggregate value of the imports
of iron and steel whether in pig, bar,
Ksheet, scrap, irg t or in manufacture ar
ticles, foi thoac years, without attempting
to particularize:
Value ed imports in 1873 .. . $50 308.452
Value of imports in 1878 9,057,632
Decrease ia five yeard... 50,250,820
It would seem at first view that this
immense decrease in one of the most com
mon and important articles of merchan
dise, was owing to such a stagnation in
business in this country that we have not
been able to purchase a liberally a m
'ornaer years, but that is dispell d in f
measure by reference to our figures ivinf
the comparative value of exports for 1868
and 1878.
To tin r manifestly establish the fact
that suh is not th? casS, we quote the
imports of one itfm iu inanufacted iron
and steel Jbr the five years eliding June
80, 1878, In railroad btrs ot iron and
steel there were.
Imported in 1873 $iy,740,702
Imported in 1878... 530
Decrease in five years....!.... lj, 7-40, 172
Here in one single industry, which in
1873 was one of the most important, ot
our importedarticlet, our purchases from
abroad have dwindled into such utter in
significance that it can hardly be con
sidered as worthy of an es.imate. It is
well known that during those five year
there has been no diminution in the demand
for iron and steel rails. On the contrary
the opposite is (he fact. The demand
has been uneeasingly on the increase, and
we have no data to state positively) we
imagine the amount of steel rails laid dur
iog the past year will far exceed that of
any previous year, and probably the
tonnage of iron rails would equal that c f
former years. Instead of purchasing
these from our neighbors across the ocean,
we mine them from American soil, mould
them Into shape and form with American
mechanics in American manufactories,
thereby developing our resources, giving
euin'cvmetit to mnr own moohantM and
ial, and keep our money to spend among
Our own people.

The cost of Congressman Whiteaker "s
hurried trip from Oregon to attend the
opening of Congress, including the special
palace car from San Francisco to Ogden,
is estimated to have been from $1,500 to
$3,500. He went from his home to Sac
Francisco, which he had not seen for
nineteen ears, by steamer The voyage

Golden Gate. It was his purpose to re

San Francisco Bay to the railway station
of the Central Pacific Hail road, where a
special locomotive and palace car were
waiting, with steam up, and was whirl
ing away with nothing in the way of food
auoard except some cold luncheon, noi
did the car stop anywhere to get a warm
meal for the drooping Congressman unt.l
the regular train that was Bure to bring
him to Washington in time was overta
ken. It took about twenty-four hourn
to do it, daring which double the usual
time was made. Who is to pay for the ex"

it is not Mr. Whiteaker.
