In this country we eat what is set before us, asking no questions, especially if we break fast on sausage and hash. Professor Swift, comet catcher in ordinary to a Bochester patent medicine firm, is going to Africa to observe an ec'lpse next May. He is also to hunt op the ''lntramercurial" planets that escaped from him in Denver In 1879. Thtk Obsbbvbb recently remarked that: "There is said to be no equivalent for "hash" in French. There is no equivalent for hash in physics. Each hash is a senarate sDecies a comnound that nev er was before and never will be again." In study ing the subject farther we find that the old Greek word for hash was .Lapadotemachonelachogaleo krardodlrtpanloarimupotrlnm UtokatakectumeonekicmepiKesupaepiHfopensier-siektruonoptegdephaioklefclOpeletdJigoshlralobap-hetraganopterugon, and that that's the reason why neither a synonym for the word has ever been found, nor any well defined recipe has been laid down fixing the "inards" of any particular hash. THE COTTON TIE QUESTION. The Cotton JPlanters of tne South vs. the Northern ITIanufactnrere. St. Louis Republican. There are only six or seven manufac tories of iron cotton ties in this coun trytwo in Ohio and the others in Pennsylvania, the largest being in rittsburg. These ties are maae 01 hooriron. but as they are a special fabric, with; a peculiar asjtenitig, Und are maae, not in uie usuai iuiiu i hoop-iron, but in the form of ties, the Treasury Department very properly distinguishes between them and hop iron, and decides that the duty on the latter does not apply to the former. It makes the duty on ties 35 per cent, ad valorem, while the duty on hoop-iron is 1 cents a pound. The old method of tying cotton bales with hemp rope has been discarded, and the cheaper and better iron ties are now employed ex clusively, and it requires about 1,200, 000 bundles of them a year to supply the planters. The question whether these ties shall be subject to a duty of 35 per cent, ad valorem as a special fabric, or be classed as hoop-iron and made to pay cents a pound twice as jjreat a rate 33 the other at issue, next to the proper construction of the law, is whether the half dozen hoop iron manufacturers in Pennsylvania and Ohio shall be. allowed to extort this extra amount of money from the cot ton raisers of the South, or not. The manufacturers pretend that the Treas ury ruling is a great injustice to them, just as the New England manufactu rers of knit goods pretend that a simi lar ruling on these goods is very injuri ous to their vocation. But, suppose the Treasury shall alter its ruling and de cide that cotton ties shall pay a duty of V cents a Dound about 80 per cent. ad valorem would not this be a far greater injustice to the cotton planters, who buy and use these ties ? The duty of (. cents a nound. which the manu facturers, who demand, would cost the planters $600,000 a year. It would oe a prohibitory duty ; it would prevent ties from beinsr imported and give to the half dozen home manufacturers a mo nopoly of the market with power to make their own prices. It would, in short, deprive the government of the revenue it now receives on imported ties and place the planters at the mer cy of the half dozen combined manu facturers in two States. Yet these manufacturers have the effrontery to say that a ruling which prevents them from robbing cotton planters oi fcoutv 000 a vear is a wrong to them ana an iniurv to American industry ! Admittinethat home manufacturers of ties ought to be protected at some body else's expense, one would think that the 35 per cent, duty, whicb the treasury allows, with the ocean freight, insurance and other expenses on im ported ties added, ought to be protec tion enough. And it is enough. If they do not make ties with that degree of protection it is because they are too busily and prontaDiy engagea in maa ing plain hoop-iron and other similar fabrics. ! THE DAILY NEWSPAPERS. Interesting Statistics In Regard to the Circulation of Dally Papers in Unix ted States. Washington, May 9. The census office has issued a-preliminary exhibit of the statistics of the daily press of the United States, during the census year, from which the following figures are obtained : Total number of daily journals in the country during the cen sus year are placed at 962, which in cludes 80 dailies which were suspended and 114 which were established in the course of that year. The aggregate daily circulation is placed at 3,581,187, and the aggregate annual circulation at 1,127,337,355. With an aggregate daily circulation of 3,581,187, -at an average price per annum of $7.33, it appears that the people of the United States pay out annually $26,250,100 for their daily newspapers. The State' of New York takes the lead in publishing the largest number 'Of: dailies 115; Pennsylvania nexVwith 98; Illinois, 73; Ohio and California, each 54; Mis souri, 42; Indiana, 40; Massachusetts, 35; Michigan, 33; Iowa and TexaSi32 each; New Jersey, 27; Virginia and Wisconsin, 21 each ; Colorado, 20 Kan sas, 19; - Connecticut, It; Georgia, 16; Maryland, Nevada and Nebraska, 14 each; North Carolina, 13; Tennessee, 12; Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine, 11 each; Minnesota, 10; Arkansas and Oregon, T each; Alabama and Rhode, Isand, 6 each; Delaware, Mississippi, South Carolina and Termont, 5 each; Florida and West Virginia, 3 each, and 41 in the Territories and District of Columbia. The statistics of the weekly press proper, and of all periodicals other than daily, or issues connected therewith, as well as some important information regarding the daily press notably the amount of capital interested and value of the annual products are reserved for a subsequent statement.

In others words, the window glass made was made at 50 works, which operated 76 furnaces, contain ing 665 pots. - Ten of the 82 glassware factories, with 16 furnaces and 130 pots, were en tirely idle; and in factories that were operated in part, 9 furnaces, with 92 pots, were not run in the census year. That is, the glassware made in the cen sus was made at 72 works, which oper ated 129 furnaces with 1,237 pots.

TALKING ACROSS THE SEA. Conversation Hesurd from Calain to Dover. London, May 7. The Paris corres pondent of the Daily Telegraph sends the following account of the latest scientific sensation: "A remarkably interesting experiment has just been made at Calais and Dover, between which places a conversation has been kept up viva voce by means of a new kind of telephone, which ha3 been pat ented under the name of electrophone. Not only were the words whispered in to the apparatus at Calais distinctly heard at Dover, but the listener at one end was perfectly able to distinguish by the mere tones of the voice the per son who was speaking at the other end. The inventor maintains that it is just as easy to talk across the Atlantic as from one room to another, and he has succeeded so well in the first practical illustration of his apparatus thatxne is scarcely justified in doubting big asser tion that he has found out a system by which words spoken from .the, -other side of the. ocean can be distinctly heard...
