THl Wilmington Messenger of SuadaT last has a very caustic and pointed editorial 'the Democratic Committee. on the critics of State Executive ThB BiJaigh Signal claim9 that Mr. Nichols and Mr. Brower, the rrM from North Carolina, are not Republicans bat independents. This is a right sharp manoavre. The Democrats are abasing the in dependents while the Bepablicans are coaxing them to "walk into my parlor;" od if you don't walk in, why, we will all be independents. Cokokxss will convene on Mon day next. The country needs re lief from excessive taxation. The Senate branch ot the Congress is Bepabliean by a bare majority, the floaee is Democratic by twerve or fifteen majority. A square issue should be made on the tax redac tion and the responsibility hxed upon those who stand in the way. The easiest way oat of the difficul ty is to abolish the internal revenue taxes and fix the tariff on a revenue TKB Chatham Eecord of last week has a very sensible reply, jnat such a Bro. London is capable of writing, to the Wilmington Star's attacks upon the Democratic State Committee for its resent action in ' regard to the repeal of the internal rerenne laws. The Kecord claims thai the Star's inundoes are not based npon facts, and that the Star ought to be ashamed of itself to wage such an unfair aud unjust war upon the committee because their opinions do not happen to concur with the Star's. Thxsjb is talk of a compromise oo tariff redaction between the Randall and Carlisle Democrats. The party that will harmonize on reducing taxation agd bring it witbin the actual necessities of the gorerament will be the party that will command the support of the people ia the next election. The people are heartily tired ot paying Buore money Car the support of the government than is nectssary, and ta party that can not and will not potatopto it does not deserve and will not longer receive the rapport of the people who are being robbed every day. THK most satisfactory way of pro riding fands to pay the expenses of the federal government, is by a tax upon imports. Abolish the in teroal revenue taxes and let the tariff be fixed upon a revenue basis. By doing this an army of office bolder will be sent to the plow handles and the people will no longer be vexed with trials in the C S. district courts; nor will the Senators and members of Congress be tempted by the growing surplus. Bach flippant nonsense as "free chaws, free drinks aod free dips," oaght not to deter members of Congress from doing their duty fbllj in this matter. XOBTfl CAEOLI.M VIRGINIAN..

His style of living was leyond his income bat it was kept up until his liabilities amounted to $175,000 while his property is not more than $00,000. j Here is another striking lesson for those who are inclined to live beyond then means. Every young man who starts out in life should j have a definite idea of his income! and should bgin then and there to ; cut the garment according to the cloth.' To pursue any other coarse : j to make debts without any certain-1 tv ot the forthcoming of the means to discharge them ; to undertake to gratify every desire for pleasure and move with the fashionable world, will sootier or later bring grief, disappointment andraiD, not only to those who indulge in such profligacy, bin to their friends also. The way to avoid running iuto such a dangerous habit is to begin at once to keep accounts. Every yoang man who begins business for himself, whether as an employee or as tne "proprietor oi auuaiuess, should keep a strict account of in come and expenses. By this means he can soon ascertain whether or not his expenses are exceeding his income aud he can chauge his man ner of living lefore the habit be comes filed. There are many farmers who toil year after jear in the same old beaten track, who ketp no accounts, and consequently cannot tell how it gage instead of growing larger, counts with each n that the m -rt-bemg paid ort' is By keeping ac rop planted they conld soon find out which paid and which did nor, and, if possessed of common sense, they would change their plans on those that did not pay. The great secret ot success in this life is to lir? riihm iour uw'Dtr. How many do it ' La Grange Items. liev. .Mr. Swain and Benj. F. Sutton are awnv attending Ibe State Conlerence of the M. P. Ohurcb. The crops are alout housed, and the shortage can now be accurate ly told, at least one fourth short in the cotton crop. A number of visitors have been in cur place recently. We wih we eonld give names, &c., but cannot, however much we desire it. Iat little cotton is being brought here for sale, the bulk having been marketed. The prices paid by our buyers has been well np to other markets. Rev. Mr. Rose left for theM. K. State Conference at Fayetteville, Mondav. It is the wish of the t congregations served bv Mr. Rose and Mr. Swain that they be re ! tnrned the next year. I ,T W. S. Hardy and Hellen Scott ; were married in the M. K. Church ; in this place last Wednesday night, j Rev. Mr. Rose officiating. There was a large attendance to witness the ceremony. May sunshine and j not shadow, cross theirpathway. 1 A onion thanksgiving service ( was given at the Methodist Church I in oot town last Thursday. Rev. Mr. llinea preached tbc thanks giving sermon. Business was sus pended during the day and the attendance at church was large. Eleven dollars was collected for the the Oxford Orphan Asylum. The "Rainbow Tart " given bv the ladies of the M. P. Church, and their friends in this place last Thursday night was a complete soccers. This parfv wis given in the interest of the M. P. Church now in course of erection in our town, and we feel justified in ex tending to patrons ot the par'.y the thanks of these ladies. Iast Sunday the reopening of the Bapst Church took place here as previously annoanced. Rev. Dr. Home of Chapei IJil), preached a most excellent sermon from Zachariah 14: 20. Dr. Hume is among the first pulpit orators of the Stale. The church has leen en lareed, remodeled and otherwise improved and is a tiling tf beauty. The seating capacity is much greater, and convenience and corn- tort greatly improved. Jlie con gregation on Sunday was beyond the seating capacity, and the aisles were filled to their fullest. After preaching. Rev. Mr. Sanderlin, in his usual happy itjle. m ule an ap peal to the congregation to aid the church in the enterprise. We think a liberal response was made, alter hearing Mr. Sanderlin it could hardly have Iveen otherwise. A Sunday Skool mass meeting was held in the afternoon in the church and adressed by Dr. Ilnae. The address was the right thing in the right place. Services at night cloevd for that day. We wonld be glad to give a more extended no tice. The Rapti.-t brethren have shown themselves up to the times in t bus enlarging and b-aiitilving j tneir place of worship. Our town j is one of churches and schools. The improvements that b i e taken place in five years, in these two part leu la rs,ar e a most beyond belief. We would like to say jlj we know aboat these matters but some would say it was a puff. They are well known among us nv.d are being understood abroad. 1 Lawyer Outwitted. Several years ago a y oung gentle man went to consult a certain at tornev how he might carry off an heiress. "Von cannot do it with safety," said the counselor : "but I'll tell you what you may do : Let her iwQDt a horse, and bold a bridle and whip; do you then mount be hind her, and you are safe, for she runs away with you." Jhfi coun- X oaaiihed for his quibbling adviee. I when neii day he found that it was his own daughter who had run away with his client Exchange. The King of ifp.iin. although, bui little more than one year old, is a general officer in the Spanish army. Of course he Is in the infantry ser vice. He has been ki arms all his life. Aurora Items. Capt. Saddler is at our wharf with a load of fine oysters. Rev. V. II. Cunniuggim of Chapel Hill is in town looking after his interest. Dr. Chapin, the editor of the Progress, is the happy man. The Progress is a progressive paper. Quite a number of oar people are at Washington this week attending the trial of Mrs. Lincke and W. A. Potts. If your Presbyterians in New Perne have as gocnl a preacher as Washington, tell him to come over and give us a call. A reverend gentleman told one ol our "cranks'' he was like the tiy on the hub of the wheel. Oh my what adust I am kicking up '. , Wo are glad to see a disposition , on the part of our large landowners : to divide up and sell off their lands ; in small tracts so as to encourage I actnal settlers. We hear that a terrible bad tight ; occurred at Yatesville a few days ago in which one Satchwell was shot and probably killed. Have not heard particulars. j ! The "ole hat man"' is getting in I I the biggest lot of candies and 1 Christmas goods ever brought to this town. He will buy up eggs and sell sugar and coffee. Kev. L. O. Wyche, pastor of the M. E. Church at this place left to day for the annual conference. We will miss this good man. We think S there are few better men of deep, , solid piety than Mr. Wyche. We ' commend him to the people wher ever he may be sent On Wednesday night, the 22d of November. Kev. S. M. Smith de livered his lecture "temperence in politics" at Chapin's ball to a large and appreciative audience. Prof. Bonner, assisted by some of the ladies and gentlemen in this section, gave some good masic, instrumental and vocal, which also added to the enjoyment on this occasion. Also on the morniDg of the 24th Rev. Mr. Smith preached to a large con gregation in the M. E. Church and took up a collection for the Oxford , Orphan Asylum and raised $30.00. ! Mr. Smith's lecture is very highly i spoken of, I heard a goodly number say "he spoke my sentiments.'" The choir sang at the close of the lecture, -Let Christians vote as they pray." A prominent gentle man asked if that was sang for the special benefit of the speaker. Mr. Smith left the cranks in our town still more cranky. Jones County Items. Several of our fanners slaughtered their hogs. SVe have sup pose these early killings .are a sure indication of a short corn crop. Coon and 'possum hunting is the rage now and coon dogs are in de mand. If any one desires to drive a trade let him come up and say that that dog is a good one. We have not any deaths, mar riages or accidents that we have heard of in our county during the past week. We believe the gen eral health of the county is at the present time very good. The cotton of onr county is nearly all picked out and the most of it ginned and sold and the money spent excpt a few old well to do farmers who are waiting for the speculators to put a boom on it then they will ship anil sell theirs. We see advertised in some ol the newspapers good watches for less than one dollar and yet we have right hero some men who are simple enough to answer these ad vertisements by sending them this little sum in a registered package with an order for a watch. Well, I have just bad the pleasure of ex amining one of them and we would consider them very dear bargains at any price. Major ilawkins has gathered and weighed the cotton on the stalk which I called attention to in the Journal a few weeks since with 410 bolls on it, which be says made 3 pounds of good seed cot ton and that there yet remains 40 bolls on it that has not opened. We would like to hear if any other farmer in our section bad a stalk to equal it. The fruit tree agent was at Tren ton on Saturday last delivering trees. e hope that our larmers will in the future recollect that it requires something more than the purchasing of trees to make an orchard. Careless, neglectfal farm ers need not expect to have fruit unless they give intelligent and careful attention to them after planting out in beautiful, straight rows. They must recollect that cattle when turned into an orchard will ruin them as effectually in straight as well as crooked rows. The cry in our county heretofore has been that onr lauds are ruined by making catton and the farmers too have been ruined by tending it and not making their home sup plies, les. that is all true, but let me call our farmers attention to another little ruin that is creeping in on them unawares. .Nearly every farmer is shipping off his cotton seed to get a little ready monev with the expectation of buying cot- ton seed meal next spring. We always found that money was a ter rible slippery thing and wo fear that many of our farmers will next spring realize this very fact. Cot ton sold, money spent and nothing to purchase cotton seed meal, and where they heretofore had made fine cotton by the aid of cotton seed. We tear that manv of them will be looking around to settle on a substitute each as fence scran- pings and ditch banks. Well, we will say to all such in advance that a poor man with poor land and with a poor mule hauling poor dirt to raise poor crops is certainly mighty poor business from all of which us Kill Arp says "May the Good Ivord deliver us," The Advantage of Being: Small. Little Willie had been very de voted to a certain pretty young lady at the beach. One day a gentle man me upstairs to the drawing room of the iiotel after dinner, with the young lady on his arm. Ab, Willie! You see I haFe Jfiss today :" said the gentleman. Little Willie threw both arms around the young lady's neck, and, kiss.ng both her cheeks, exclaimed triumphantly "Well you dase'r. do that it you ha e got heron your urm?" ipoch. L t no man boast that he is free from color blindness until after he has been seat to the dry goods store to match his wile's black silk and has come out of the ordeal : satisfactorily. I Why Girls Go Wrong. Youth is youth whereveryou find it. Young blood Hows swift and warm through pulsing veins. Young hearts long tor companion Bhip, young braius indulge in vague, sweet dreams of pleasure yet to come. A beautiful j oung girl can no more be content with prosaic duties, without one day ol pleasure to brighten her life, than a meadow lark can be content In a cage. To attend faithfully to the mont commonplace tasks all day, to bear no word ot praise for her labors, and to retire at S o'clock on a beautiful moonlight evening is little less than torture to a girl full of sentiment and undefined long ings. Yet this is the existence ol hundreds of country girls. The parents regard any hours spent in pleasure as m much lost time. They exact industry and obedience Irom their otl'spring, in vite no confidence, and object to late hours or merrymakings. The V0UH2 heart seethes in silent re bellion, and learns to hate its lot, jand lives in hope th.it something will happen to give color to life. If the city idler, oi the amorous i farm hand, or the married seducer i happens to find her in these rebell ions moods, why then we read in the newspapers an item about tin "Strange IMsappearance" or "Un accountable Mesalliance" or ' "Shocking Depravity " of a hither to quiet and respectable gill. The heartbroken parent ate 'crushed with shame and sorrow. ; They cannot understand why their beloved daughter should go astray. Ah! if they had only shown her demonstrations of their love, if they had only sought to know her secret thoughts and longings, if they made an enort once a montti to g've ner a few hours of pleasure, (die need not have gone astray. Klla Wheel er Wilcox's Letter. Offensive I'ublic Notices. It is related of a good uatured king that, upon takiug a walk in 'his park, he saw a notice which set ; forth that all persons were -or Idered" to keep the footpath. lie ' told his atteudant to have the word ! ord ered painted out, and requested put in its place. The ranger ob jected shat people would not regard so mild a word ; but the king said : "That is their affair ; I will not have them ordered."' The king showed good sense in this matter, as well as good feeling. When we see in any public place, J say a hotel, restaurant or assembly room, a printed notice calling upon guests to "report any inattention or neglect on the part of the wait lers," we conclude that the manager of the establishment does not know 'the art of getting men to do their j best. Such a notice is not neces sary. The guest or customer j knows verv well what to do in case he is not served to his liking, and the notice casts a kind of reflection upon the corps of waiters. lu large factories there are sometimes no tices ending with words like these : "Any man violating this rule will be discharged." How unnecessary snch harshness ! As if every man did not know that a willful and persistent violation of an important rule necessitates such a penalty. The old gentleman near Phila delphia knew human nature, and acted upon his knowledge when he placed over a public garden which he had given to a factory village : "Respect this place; it is lor the public good." .The people did re spect it. Y. Ledger. More Humanity Needed What is required to divert the trade in noultrv of its present hor rors is to draw the needed supplies Irom points adjacent to all large centers of population. The State of New Jersey alone, if wisely farmed, cculd supply 'ew York City with fresh killed poultry; but though Jerscymen are credited with being astute, still a huge monopoly stands at their threshold, and asks in yain to be embraced. Solongas poultry alive or dressed has to ar rive from afar, just so long will attendant losses exist; modified more or less in the ratio of care to want of care. Coops should be constructed high enough to allow of the occupants resting at ease. Those coops bad best be construe ted of cheap material, and not be returned for use ; the bottoms ought to of board pierced with many small circular holes, the sides of wire, and the tops of wire or open slats. When ponltrv has to be forwarded alive, care should be exercised in feeding, before being cooped; twelve hours previous to the start, all sorts would require a substantial meal ; food easy of di gestion and subsequent assimila tion, with free access to pure water. On the journey water should be provided at all times; but food only when the trip exceeds the period of eighteen hours. In a market where sales are effected on weights, every ounce lost tells on the profit side of the ledger. Ah manner of animals suffer most in trausit from the want of water; food is secondary ; water and air are life. A shipper's hu manity is most readilv reached through his pocket; aud if he can be successful as a merchant, and lose beavilv "n:- at pre. ent, his busi ness would be far more lucrative if better cariicd on, so that the mini mum of loss was attained.

Jenkins, Dresden, Ger many, m treating upou the merits of the Saxon Merino Sheep, writes, in the Americau Agriculturist for December: Perhaps the most remarkable flock of Merino Sheep in the world is to be louml at ljentewitz, near; Meissen, in Germany. Here have been bred lor four generations of men the descendants ol the famous importations of Spanish Merinos to Saxony in 177S. Like all other true Merinos, these were in the be ginning small aud hardy unimaL', welding a small quanitv of very tine wool, but having no great value as mutton. 2s"ow they average in weight: rams, two hundred and twenty to two hnndrud and sixty five pounds, and ewes, one hundred aud seventy rive pound-; and the unwashed wool: from rams, seven teen to twenty three pound , aud from ewes, thirteen to rilteen pounds. Iu the mutton, the fit is well mingled with the muscle, and not accumulated in inedible masses, and its quality is now regarded as approaching the Southdown. The unsurpassed fineness of the S.ixon tleeces is recognized everywhere. "These results have been accom plished thiongh a firm purpose, persistently carried forward during a period of eighty years. Although soil and climate have favored the development of these sheep, the chief success is due to the intellig ence aud persistence w:th which the orignal plan has been followed. Neither the present proprietors, nor the generations before them, have ever allowed any other interest to interfere with the purpose which from the beginning they had set before themselves, viz., to breed the perlect sheep and to obtain in everv twl:,r.Tt.ar nn.sil.lannantitT 1 of wool upon a frame easily fatten- ed Seltlxh Parents to Blame. A generation or two ago plain American lathers and mothers did not entertain the tancilul idea 'that the state should take charge of every body's education, morals and habits. They believe that it was their daty to keep an eye ou their boys, and in cases of misbehavior they resorted without compunction to a tough hickory or a barrel stave. Thirty or forty years ago, if a Georgia lather had been told that his sixteen-year-old boy was in danger of having a congested brain from the smoking of cigarettes, he would have rushed the youngster out into the back yard ana saueu into nim with a stick. In those days people didn't .ippeal to societies or a Women's Christian Temperance I'niou or the legislature when their boys went wrong. They simply made a fami ly affair of it and straightened it out satisfactorily. The other day we said that there could be no great improvement in morals until we restored the thorough and efficient system of family education and government which formerly prevailed. What we said applies directly to this cigarette evil. If boys are to be allowed to be their own masters, choose their companions and dis pose of their time, we may rest assured that the majority will pick up many vices that will injure them in the future. Do you want your boy to grow up pure, li nesr, sober aud industrious? Begia your work on him at home, and keep at it. Good laws and good schools can never take the place of the old fashioned family training. We cannot afford to have a lot of tobacco hearts and congested brains pushed into society and business circles. The great problems and gigantic concerns of this age de mand men who enjoy the largest measure of physical and mental health. We must have them at any cost. If they cannot be pro duced under our present system, let us go back in some degree to the common sense simplicity of our fathers. It will not hurt the youngsters; it will be their salva tion in'more ways than one. At lanta Constitution. "Lay IJy Something for a Rainy Day." Do you really need the article! It is probably a pretty trifle in dress, in furniture; but what solid benefit will it be to you? Or it is some luxury for the table that you can as well do without? Think, therefore, before you spend your money. Or you need a new carpet, new sofa, new chairs, new bedstead, or new dress; you are tempted to buy something a little handsomer than you had intended, and while you hesitate the dealer says to you, 'It's only a trifle more,' and see how far prettier it is." But before you purchase stop to think. Will you be the better a year hence, much less in old age, for having squandered your money! Is it not wiser to "lay by something for a rainv dav?" All these luxuries gratify you only for the moment; you soon tire of them, and their only permanent effect is to consume your means. It is by such little extravagancies, not much separate ly, but ruinous in the aggregate, that the great majority of families are kept comparatively poor. i ;' i j I nor llf.

As I have said, the let ters of Columbus are infinitely more attractive to the reader of today. The devoutly religious spirit of the writer, his mingling ol prac icai shrewdness withchild like credulity, his artless relations of the dreams and visions which induced him to set our on his discoveries, his en thusiastic belief in being divinely appointed to his work, his argu ments to prove that he had landed near the Garden of Eden, expressed m that simplicity of style which is the chief grace of the early voy agers, all together form a charm for na that superior learning and more correct rhetoric cannot rival.

The cow pea draws its sustenauce largely from : the atmosphere, as is demonstrated j by the fact tnatjit will flourish upon ' jour poorest sandy soils. It is a common saying "down South ' in speaking derisively of very sterile soil, "That land is too poor to sprout cow peas !" For green ma nuring they should be sown broad cast at the rate of from three to five ! pecks per acre, according to the ' soil aud variety planted. In plow ing under a crop of cow peas, the returning of plant food to the soil, tnough tne principal good, is not the only benefit exerted on the run- down sou. The roots arc very penetrating, reaching down into, and rendering more porous, the un derlying stratum of our fields. A pea crop is one of the easiest meaus of supplying vegetable matter to i , 7 " . . cnemicai ana mechanical manure at the same time. Cow peas for green manuring should have a rank growth of vine, as this is the most valuable part of the plant for this purpose. When the crop is in full bloom, and ready for turning under, more seed should be sown on the same ground. The plowing covers the seed sufficiently, and if this is done in the latter half of Jane, a second crop will mature before frost destroys vegetation, and will pro duce a luxuriant pasture for cows, horses, or hogs. Cow peas make most excellent food for fattenine hogs. American Agriculturist. SeUntifle Farmers. The intelligent farmer, who gives thought to his business, finds his mind occupied with matters be longing to the year that is just clos ing, while he also looks forward to the season rapidly approachiug. Have there last year been failure with some crop, while others have been unusually successful! We should examine into the failurs, not to mourn over them, but to ascer- taiuifthey were due to avoidable causes, or to natural phenomena beyond human control. We are apt to ascribe our losses to a High er Power, but are we so ready to accredit our success to the same controlling influence? The "scien tific farmer," so called, is the sensi ble farmer who sees that all Nature, on his farm or off of it, is governed by wise and immutable laws. Those who study to learn hat are these laws, and how they can best work with them, aie the most successful farmers; they are called "scientific' American Agri cnlturist. "Yes,'' said, a portly man, th a patronizing wave of his hand, as he stood on the railroad station platform, "I am now interested in Dakota myself just bought a farm for my son, you know, I consider tbat their are phenomenal chances for a young man in this Territory. By the wav, what is the most remarkable instance you know of a young map doing web financially in Dakota?" "Bill Hostetter did pretty well," said the small 'man on a coil of barbed wire. "Ah, tell me about him," said the capitalist, as he rubbed nis nanus. "i'ii warrant my sou will do as well how muoh did Mr Hostetter make?"' ' Sixty thousand dollars." "Ah urn snug little sum.

According to information received at Lloyd's from the Governor ol South Australia, dated the 22d ult. a dead albatross has been found on the shore at Fremantfe, antl attach ed to its neck, was a pieoe of tin, on wuich the lollowing was written in French: ''Thirteen shipwrecked persons are on the Crozet Islands, 4th August, 1887." The vessel to which these shipwrecked persons belonged is supposed to be the Tamaris, bound from Pordeaux for Noumea, which vessel was posted at Lloyd's as missing on the 31st of August, and the crew of which was composed of 13 men. An Italian physician who has given close attention to causes and remedies oi malaria recommends a decoction ot lemon as especialh usefull. The rind and pulp of a fresh lemon cut in thin slices is boiled in three cupfuls of water in an earthen yesse and boiled down to ope cupful, then strained with pressure through linen and set aside over night. The whole is to be drunk in the morning before breakfast. Dr. Foote's Health Monthly. Enilorienttnt of s. K,cfeinjr Piyslclan. ''I have used Darbys prophylactic fluid extensively as a disinfectant and deodoriser, and Sod it an admirable preparation. Whenever there are of fensive discharges from wounds, ab scesses, etc., it is wonderful in its ac tion. I consider it the best preparation I know as a gargle in diphtheria or scar let fever. J. CRE&w.r.r. Lewis, M D.. Phila. A Talk About London. Londou, as all are aware, is the largest city in the world, and the capital of the British Empire. The population at the last census (1881) was 3,814,571. Of (this immense total of nearly four million human souls the fair sex predominates, there being in the gieat metropolis nearly a quarter ot a roilliou more women than men As compard wiiii Paris, which ranks second in Kize of the cities of the world, it has just double the population. For a space of seventy square miles Lon dou is just a network of streets, alleys and canals, st udded here and there with parks, squares, markets, etc. At the present time there are considerably more than 5u0,000 houses, aud last year eighty miles of houses w re added to itSis. London is situa'ed on both sides ... rr , -a, ,.. ,oi me laames, tne .uiaaiesex and Snrrnr P.an n t lue itutri rf oun noir,..! V. i nine bridges, all of wh eh are l're from toll. The first of these it Lon don Bridge, fifty miles from the mouth of t he Thames. Below Lon- jdou Bridge the only connecriou is me l names luiiueioi sir Isaac protect the low lying parts of the city in j times of floods, and these form ' pleasant promenades by the side : of the muddy river. The docks on' the Thames are very extensive, Ibr j London ranks the largest seaport in the empire. By railways the city is connected with all parts of Great Britain. No less than 2,200 traius leave the stations every twenty four hours. Of these traius, i which are dispatched daily, l,7o0 serve the suburbs and rui burban ' regiou of thirty miles round tlte . underground raiUva, a-i mot of : you have heard, is a tunnel com pletely encircling the metropolis. I may say that waiting at a stati n ou this line is not over pleasant; iu tact, a great mauy people never use this line on account of the foul i air likely to accumulate in the tun i nel. Tnnnth mniini tr-n-i.ii.,0, i are chiefly by omnibus and cabs, ; ' though tramways are to oe found j ; here and there, but are not so ex j itensively us as in American cities, i Londou is well supplied with i places of amusement, there being j between thirty and lorry theaters, I I varieties and music halls innumer able, besides other attractions. i The national institutions are all ! worth a visit. The British Museum is probably the tnoxt iu'eresting, then the South Kengsington aud Bethncl Gieek Museums, situated in dinerent parts of the city. The National Picture Gallerv contains j one of the finest collection of paint I ' " 5 oo cce ..,... t lie oiu 111 aste; s being represented, as also the modern painters. Another point of interest is the Tower of London, where the crown jewels are kept, and are open to public buildings 'may be mentioned the Bank of England, Royal Exchange, Royal Academy, the L'niversity, the law courts, and the two finest building St. Panl's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. In St. Paul's most of the British heroes are buried, monuments erected to their memories fill the exterior. Old Westminster Abbey, where a num ber of Kings are buried, still stands as erect as ever.QThe Queen's re sidence, Buckingham Palace, is a grand building, finely situated, and has extensive grounds. It were needless to add it is always well guaided by soldiers. The mouuments run in hundreds, the most notable being the monu meut to commemorate the great fire of 1GGG (the finest view of the metropolis can be had from the top). Iu monuments Nelson and Wellington are tne two .bnglana is proudest of. The most handsome memorial is the one erected to the memory of the Queen's late bus band, Prince Consort. London can well boast of her hospitals aud dispensaries, all of which are supported by voluutary contributions. These are scattered all over the city, the principal oues being London, Guy's, St. Thomas, St. Bartholomew and St. George. In such a crowded city it is neces-1 sary to have public parks and open spaces for benefit of the health of the inhabitants. There are some seven or eight large parks, besides smaller oues. Hyde Park is the largest, aud then Regents', where can be found the Royal Zoological Gardens, containing the largest collections of animals in the world. The city is well protected from for eign iuvassion by the numerous forts at the Thames' mouth, and for public safety by the well organi zed police force numbering over 13,000. Stationed in.London are also several regiments of the army, including the Life Guard Cavalry, rhe finest body of men tbe British armv possesses. Port Huron-, Mich. W. T. Sight Improved. New Yokk ity.
