THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION OF THE THREE AMERICAS. The management of the North, Central and South American Exposition, which opens at New Orleans, Nov. 10, promul gates the following: "The leading object of this exposition in to develop more intimate trade rela tions between the 56,000,000 producers and consumers of the United States, and the 48,000,000 producers and consumers of Mexico, Central and South America, and the West Indies." I ne way to ueveiop intimate commer cial relations between the three" Americas would be to put aside the present iniqui-1 tons obstructions to commercial relations between the three countries. Those ob structions are the Protective Tariffs, which tend to prohibit foreign trade, and Paleolithic raan used to eat his brethren; ana so usoa his comparatively highly cm hzed successor (we must not say descend ant) of the new stone age. In Italy, in the dried-up lakes (terra-mares), .which con tain remaihe of the old stone age, one finds human bones not gnawed only, but broken for the sake of the marrow treat ed just like the beasts bones among which they lie. In France it is the same: ex perts say they can tell the diiferenco be tween a rata or tiger's tooth and that of a man, and no animal ever got so far as breaking the bones that it mumbles. In British harrows there is not the slightest doubt, from the arrangement of the re mains, that, when a chief was buried, not only were his slaves killed and buried with him, but ' their bodies first furnished out the funeral feast. The horrible old Hel lenic myths, such as Tantalus cooking his son Polops as a meal for gods, and Atreus dishing up his brother Thyestes' children and asking him to dine off them, are sur vivals of the time when a man-cooking oven was as much of an institution in Greece as it was the other day in New Zealand or in Fiji, Dog does not eat dog; very few animals will devour their own kind, unless, like sows aiyl rabbits, they do it under the influence pf terror; but man in this, as in some other matters of conduct, soon got 'below the brutes, even if he was not a cannibal at the outset. Milk Better Than Brandy. Dr. Clauston, in the annual report of the Roy al Edinburg Asylum for the insane, writes: "The greater my experience be comes, I tend more to substitute milk for stimulants, In very acute cases, both of depression and maniacal exaltations, where the disordered' working of the brain tends rapidly to exhaust tin suengin, l reiy more and more on milk and eggs made intp liquid cus tards. One such case as this got eight pints of milk and sixteen eggs daily for three months, and recovered under this treatment. I question if he would have done so under any other. He was almost arc kept up for that purpose. By estab- dead on admission, actually delirious, ab- lishing a Zollverein between the "Three Americas" and Canada, and fixing a uni form duty of live percent, on all foreign importations, the revenues of tho com mercial union would be satisfied, there would be free trade througout all North America, and business would get asend- rif that would astonish tho old fogies. And all would be satisfied, because all would partake of the general welfare. solutely sleepless and less. very nearly pulse- The subscription list of TnE Highland- er is increasing every week, but not much money coming in.

Kicked by a Horse. A little son of High-License in Nebraska. Mayor Hardy, of Lincoln, Nebraska, is reported by a correspondent of the Christian Cy nosure as saying recently concerning high license in that State, that "As a means of lessening the horrors of the drinking curse it is a failure, and worse than a fail ure. There are no fewer poor, miserable drunkards' wives or worse than fatherless children. Before it Lincoln had twenty three licensed saloons. The first year it had five licensed saloons, the next it had twenty-four. After it no drinkincr man had to go thirsty, and there were no few er criminals and paupers to support. There is little doubt that the thine which most needs to be preached to this generation of Americans, by clerical and lay instructors of youth, by all who have public influence or private authority, is a sense of honor. It must be shown and insisted upon that every position in life, wnere one person is employed bv anoth er to do a certain work, imposes an obli gation to fulfill the duties of "the place wuii u iiouoraoie ana aisinterested re gard tor the interests of the employer.
