Bagby has left with his generation the proofs of that subtle and magnetic gift. It! is a langerous dowry. i At the chief centres of the electri cal lines is. found a dismal room from Aviiich the wires radiate. The; spark a, thousand raile9 away and the' view less influence -along the highways are the brilliant offspring of corroding anl bitter genesis in this gloomy in terior apartment, lhere is a sense of loss whenever virtue goes out to heal and help. Genius, like the peli can, nourishes her children on her ' own blood. Bagby was a sad man. And yet who ha- matched him as a humorist of exquisite flavor? This is no con tradiction. The wrinkles along the face in laughter are only the smoothed furrows of sorrow. Humor is the rainbow of tears. The choiced.vineyard is on the side of a volcano. The ashes from inner wes enrich the purple clusters. The "'014 Virginia Gentleman,"- with his foaming Falernian of fun, had a cer tain Kub acid of pathos that moisten er and moderated the broad creases of merriment.

Cheap rlolbinz and Necessaries. Charleston News and Courier, Dero. Senator Butler has introduced a bill tor j lie repeal of the whole of the Internal Revenue laws and the" abo lition of the Internal Revenue sys tem. The ocjmated reeeipls xfrom Internal Revenue taxes, for the cur rent fiscal yev, about $130,000,000. For the same period the estimated surplus, withouv making any' provi sion for the Sinking Fund, will be ".about "$100,000,000. The abolition thevefoi-p, will obstruct and prevent ttarilr. reform, even more completely than the election of Mr. Randall as Speaker would have done. Senator Butler, we know, js in fa--vor of a judicious reduction! of the duties n import.', and was outspoken an ins preference of (Jarlisl as the ejaudidate for Speaker. But ! his In lernal 'Reveuufe bill would cut off all Iiope of a revision of the tariff, in the direction of- a tariff for revenue. There is a little danger that the But ler bill wiU pass, for this reasom and ott er reasons. f Only a small number of States are affect-ad by the. misconduct of Reve nue officers. In but a small part of the United States is illicit distilling carried on. Probably the present law can be amended so as to make it less provocative of trouble in the Blue Ridge mountains, bat, even if it can not, the popular verdict will be that the taxes on whiskey and tobacco shall not be removed as long as the National debt remains unpaid and any taxation of imports is necessary. Whiskey and tobacco cause infi nitely more harm than good. "When they are not positively injurious, they are undoubtedly luxuries. The smoker, the chewer the snuff -taker and the tippler do not feel the tax. It is paid by them as consumers, eve ry man paying in proportion to the quantity he oses; There cannot be a fairer tax. And it is a tax that eve ry one can escape by' abstaining from drink and from the use of tobacco, COTTON. f ;New York Commercial and Financial 'Chronicle. . .jNew iokk, Dec. 7.

The high tariff organs, whether professing Democratic or Republi can politics, have done their utmost since the nomination and election of Carlisle to the Speakership, to "be joomble . the joodgment" of their readers. The theoretical ." idea of journalism is that it should convey accurate information ' and correct false impressions so far as it has the power. The practical idea of the Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette, New York Sun, Philadelphia Times, Bos ton Journal, et al., is apparently to oppose the fictions of malevolent imagination to the plain and undis guised declarations of fact. Having made extreme and untruthful i repre sentations of Carlisle's position on the tariff question before his elec tion, and finding the absurdity of their statements demonstrated by his inaugural address, these special ad vocates of the high protection princi ple turn furiously upon the placid statesman and accuse him of playing double, of taking one position be fore election and another after it. In all this they are simply beating their own brains, not successfully assailing Mr. Carlisle. That gentleman has been both fearless and consistent in the views he has entertained and ex pressed. The sentiments made pub- -.- - . v rra : ' lie several years ago in a speech by him upon the question of taritt and taxatiop receive no shock of violence from the speech which he delivered when his election to the Speakership was announced. He has very pro perly considered his time too valuable to be devoted to a contradiction of the loose and flatulent prophecies and definitions of his position that his candidacy and its success have seemed to invite. The trouble has been with the protection critics to whom, we have referred, that, like the Tribune, they know no difference between a tariff for protection only and free trade. - Sweet peace dwells in that particular cot taue where nervousness, dyspepsia, neural gia and headache are unknown.

The Wonderful Sight a Sea Captain i .- SajiheSaW. - Boston, December 6. The bark William H. Besse, Capt.

She reports that on Ausr. 27 Babie Island bearing north by west, dis tant five miles, at daylight noticed a heavy bank, rising from the west ward, the barometer suddenly falliDg to 29.40. Some time afterward the barometer suddenly rose at one jump to 30.70. Had everything furled, and ; had no sooner let go the port anchor when heavy showers of sand and ashes began falling about noon time. Then it became darker than the darkest night, the wind blow ing a perfect hurricane and the sea being perfectly smooth. A heavy rumbling like thunder was heard continually. The sky was lighted by flashes of lightning," and a strong smell; of sulphur pervaded the air, making it difficult to breathe. Alto gether it formed one of the wildest and most awful experiences imagina ble. The tide was setting strongly to the, westward throughout the gale at a rate of 14 knots. The sky became clearer at 3 P. M., though the ashes continued to fall. On August; 29, while passing throngh the Straits of bunda, we saw a large number of dead bodies, and the water for miles was covered with trees and ashes, the sea for 600 miles being a field of lava. - Cored when Phyalclana Give up.

I . - Gov.Cleveland has no Doubt the Tariff will be an Important issue. . By Telegraph to the N. Y. Herald, Albany, Dec. 9. Gov. Cleveland, when asked what significance should be attached to the election of Carl isle by so largea majority, said: "If Congress at its present . session shall fail to reduce the revenues, now adr mitted to be larger than necessary, I have no doubt that the question will become an important issue in the Presidential election of next year. and that the election of Mr. Carlisle to the Speakership will "tend to com mit the Democratic party to advo cate such a revision of the revenue laws as will secure a reduction of excessive revenue by removing or lessening such dnties as increase the cost of the necessaries of life, rather than those which enhance the price ot luxuries."

Bis Views A Cnans;eln Node of Col- . lectins. . 1 Charlotte Observer's Interview, " Washington, Dec. 8.1 was ortunate in finding: Gen. R. B. Vance at home this afternoon, and getting .from him an expression . of views on the : subjects of - the tariff and internal revenue. For' several years, as is well ' known, he . has labored for the abolition of the in ternal revenue laws, and especially for the wiping out of the machinery by which, as he says, th8- people of North Carolina have been held in thrall and some have been' corrupted. Gen. Vance: I have long thought that abolition was practicable. I still think.80. ; And yet, as there '' are so many who do not, . and .so many other interests to be - considered. perhaps it would be best to. . attempt only a reaajustment of the system to the actual wants of the people. While 1 .desire, as our people desire, to sweep away the whole "corrupt and corrupting institution full of moral and political evil 1 would accom plish something when the effort for relief is made. - . . Ciiablottk Obsebvee. You think the work done will be in the line of reducing the iniquity to its, smallest proportions preserving the tax and the skeleton of the agency for its col lection? - ; . . ; Gen. Vance. Just so. . I wovld. re duce the 4ax on spirits, (you know I am personally against the .liquor drinking and the liquor manufactur ing business, but as a Representative nave to choose between evils, and prohibition is not practicable,) as nearly as possible equally ail around. That is, whatever reduction is possi ble, 1 would have to accrue ,to the benefit of brandy and whiskey man ufacturers alike. Ch aelotte Obseevee. Have you a bill ready, or do you propose at this session to introduce one on the subject of the internal revenue laws and system? Cien.' Vance. Yes, sir. I have thought out a measure which I hope will meet the emergency.- 1 he draft is not yet ready. But the outlines are something like this: I would col lect in a new way the tax, which I would reduce as far as practicable, bearing in view the principle, the more moderate the taxation the more encouragement to manufacture and the larger the revenue. 1 would have in every county where spirits are, manufactured one bonded agent, and only one, whose bond might be ex amined by the Federal Court to en sure good faith and perfect solvency. This agency could sell the stamps as in the case of tobacco. N'ow this sys tem of licensure would greatly sim plify the business both to the people and to the government, lhere would be only one set of officers im mediately responsible to the central authority at Washington. The whole concern of surveying, gauging, spy ing setting one man to watch an otherwould be at an end. Revenue would be Just as certain, ever more certain, in reaching its proper place, and the unpleasant inquisition, the corrupting machinery, the fraud and the terrorism as thev exist now would be obviated. ' Charlotte Observer When do you propose to introduce this bill ? Gen. Vance At an early day, I will state that pending a recent can vass for the Speakership I submitted my general ideas on the internal rev enue to Mr. Carlisle, and found that they were very much like his own. I fee? free to say that the Speaker is clearly in favor of important modi fications of the laws in being . He would go to the utmost limit of pru dence to bring relief. He told me that he was for a rational but tho rough revision of the internal reve nue legislation on the statute books, including every possible change in the odious bureaucratic plan of col lecting. .". , Charlotte Observer No w,Gen eral, what of the tariff? Are we to have a general reduction all along ,the line, a reduction on a few arti cles of prime importance, or will it end in smoke, do you think? Gen. Vance. No, not the least, nor do I incline to the opinion that the reduction made will be general or sweeping. Hardly anything radi cal, in disturbing industry of any sort, will be effected or seriously at tempted by the real leaders of the party. The revision will be care ful. Further, Gen. Vance said he was in favor of abolishing the duty on salt as an article of necessity to life as oreaa itseii. REASONS AND RESULTS. Washington Post, Dem.

VANCEXANH CROP REPORTS, r . , December Return 'to the Agrlcultu : ral Department The Cotton Crop Estimated ar Six million BalesA - Large Portion of - the Corn Crop Damaged The Yield or Wheal, Oats, &e., dee. IBy Telegraph to the Mornuut Star. Washington, Dec." ll.--The season for cotton picking, - since the occurrence of frosts, as in the gathering of the cotton crop, has been quite favorable. Local es timates of the aggregated product have not been diminished and the tone of general comment has been comparatively hopeful. Indications nf the December returns favor a reduction of about 13 per cent, from the crop of last year.' The per centage of that crop, now indicated, - for the harvest of 1883, is as follows : For Virginia 75 per cent. North Carolina 87, South Carolina 76. Florida 95 Georgia 82, Alabama 84, Mississippi 88, Louisiana 92. Texas 90, Ar kansas 83, 1 Tennessee, 102. This report f oints to a crop of about 6,000,000 bales, t is possible that the cotton movement of the year may pass that limit Returns of corn productions are more conservative than those of October and No vember. From injury to soft corn by "warm moist weather, north of the 40th, parallel, corn that has been cribbed is in worse condition than for many years. The proportion : of unmerchantable corn is, therefore, large. The final estimate of the quantity produced will fall a few millions short ot' the indications, of' previous re turns, or about 23 bushels per acre. This estimate relates only to quantity and makes ne discount for . inferior quality, which se riously increases the practical shortage. The losses from packing in masses, or in juiy of soft corn from mild and wet weath er, are treated as after-harvest considera tions. An investigation will be made of the extent of such injury1 v The -wheat1 aggregate slightly exceeds 400,000,000 bushels. . -. The oat Crop is about 4 per cent, larger than that of last year, and exceeds 500, 000,000 bushels. . . The yield of rye and barley is a little less than in -1882, and buckwheat is reduced more than Be third. The December re port will include a record of average prices, which are also indications of the quantity grown. i WASHINGTON. Postmasters Ordered to make Ex change for Xhree-Cent Stamps and Envelopes The Republican National Committee. . v-. B? Telerraph to the Morning Star.1 Washington, Dec 12. The Postmaster General has issued the following letter to postmasters: In consequence of the re cent reduction in the letter rate of postage postmasters arc directed to exchange for the public, as applications may be made, three and six cent denominations of post age stamps and stamped envelopes, for others of different denominations. Post masters are informed that under no circum stances must money be given in exchange for stamps or envelopes.. Stamped en velopes will be exchanged at their, full cur rent rate. Stamped envelopes bearing printed cards and special request, as well as ordinary stamped envelopes, are to be exchanged. Also, stamped envelopes that bear printed addresses. Stamps and en- . velopes of issues prior to 1861 must not be exchanged. Stamps received by postmas ters on exchange must be held as part of then stock in hand, until notified to return t.bem to the Department The Republican National Committee se lected Chicaeo on the fourth ballot, as the place for holding the convention. Mr. Frye, of Maine, then submitted his proposition for a new basis of representa tion at the next National Convention, al ready published, and supported it in a speech. Mr. Frye quoted statistics to show that representation from the Southern States which were anti-Republican was nearly as large as that from Stages which were surely Republican, and argued that his proposition was in the interest of abso lute justice. He did not- wish to be under stood as being antagonistic to Republicans , in the Southern States, tie did not re lieve in intimidation in the South, and if he had had his way it would not have ex isted. While in Congress he had put his soul into the task of maintaining Southern Republicans iu their rights, and he wished lo say to representatives from the South that he had never truckled to the Bourbons. He had never melted down his words. He had called murder, "murder," everywhere, and no man could charge him with forget f ulness of the rights of any one. The proposition was finally laid over tempo rarily. . si s mm ': MARYLAND. Tobacco Dealers and Manufacturers to . memorialize Congress. IBy Telegraph to the Horning Star. Baltimore. Dec. 12.

Complaint is frequently made by those who use baking powders that they leave in bread, biscuit or cake raised by them a dis agreeable, bitter taste. This taste follows the use of all impure baking powders, and is caused either by their containing alum (introduced to make a cheap article), by the impure and adulterated character 01 other ingredients used, or from the ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper methods of combining them. These baking pow ders leave in the bread a residuum formed of lime, earth, alum or other deleterious matters, not always, though frequently, tastable in the food, and by all physicians classed as injurious to health. The Royal Baking Powder is free from this defect. In its use no residuum is left, and the loaf raised by it is always sweet, light and wholesome, and noticeably tree from the peculiar taste complained of. 1 be , reason of this is because it is composed of nothing but absolutely pure materials, scientifically combined in exactly the proper proportions of acids and alkali to act upon and destroy each other, while . producing the largest amount of raising power. We are justified in this assertion . by the unqualihed state ments made by the Government chemists, who, after thorough and" exhaustive tests, recommended the "Royal" for Governmen tal use because of its superiority over all others in purity, strength and wholesome ne8s. .

These people often become despondent, and say that, nothing can be done for them, and that they think i they will die just as their grandparents died. This is a very bad blunder. The blood that courses in your veins, good neighbor, is not your great grandfather's blood ; it is your own It is your own body that is ailing; not that of some good old grand mother who has been in her grave for half a century. ' Instead of com plaining that ; your ancestors have gone back on you, you had better begin to tone up your own blood, regulate your own troublesome liver, set your own stomach to rights, and get ready to enjoy first-rate health. You want iron in your blood.; You want a tonic for those flabby muscles and those, bothersome nerves. You want something which will drive out that debility and brace you up and give you robust health. ' In a word, you want Brown's Iron Bitters. This is a medicine for the living, to make them enjoy life by driving out disease.
