It is noted in the newspapers as an
item of news that ex-President Grant
lias quit smoking. Hard to believe.
From tuc present outlook on the
Soudan, and the fighting qualities
shown by El Mahdi's fellows, England
has undertaken a bigger job than she
calculated upon.
The unfortunate Guitesu's prophecy
has been fulfilled, aud District-Attorney
Corkhill has been kicked out of office.
Corkhill is an ignoramus, and Arthur
did well in Ms removal.
A Washington correspondent of a
leading Northern journal writes: "It
is a noticeable fact that the Southern
element which controlled "Washington
society before the war is coming to
the front again."

Philadelphia Becord: When Mr.
Blackburn takes his seat alongside of
Mr. Beck in 1885 Kentucky will be
more ably represented in the Senate
than any other State in the Union.
Verv few States have any advantage of
Kentucky in this respect now.
Mr. Blaine seems to be coming to
the front in Pennsylvania as the Republican
candidate for the Presidency.
The Philadelphia Press says that within
the past week in all the county conventions
held, his name was prominently
mentioned.
The New York Tribune says Mr. &
Mrs. Pitts, the parents of the young
woman who married Fred. Douglass,
are almost broken-hearted over the
marriage. They educated her to the
doctrine or tne equality 01 me races
and she in her marriage simply carried
out what they taught.
Some of the old-time Abolitionists
arc insisting that Wendell Phillips
was, in no .sense, the oracle of the antislarery
crnsade, since he advisecl nothing
substantial that was followed.
They declare that Theodore G. "Weld
was the true prophet of Radicalism.
But very few people ever heard ol
Theodore G. "Weld.
There are rumors in Washington ol
. cabinet changes, to the effect thai
Brewster will retire from the Department
of Justice and be sent to Paris
as minister, Secretary of the Treasurj
Folger taking his place and Folger being
succeeded in the Treasury by Mr,
Morton, of New York.

Speaking of ex-Senator McDonald''
speech at the unveiling of the statue
- ' of Oliver P. Morton, the Indianapolis
Sentinel says: "It was a beautiful
tribute to friendship, which, through
* - calm and storm, had known no abatement.
In the fierce conflict of parties,
when hates were cultivated and the
cry for vengeance was heard like alarm
bells at midnight, McDonald and Morx?
ton?Democrat and Republican?while
sundering every other tie, were heid
by bonds of friendship to the mooring
of their early manhood."

p. Eaton, formerly a Chicago journalist,
is supervising the translations of
the work into the foreign languages, a
force of ten translators having been

? ~ gives Mr. Eaton $5,000 for this work
unci a royalty of fifteen cents upon
cach volume sold in Germany and
France. Mr. Eaton goes to Paris next
month to organize agencies for the sale
of the book, and before returning

purpose. -*
_ The leading metropolitan journals
>^of Xew York and the most influential
of the Southern dailies are outspoken
in commendation of the Morrison tariff
bill, recently introduced iu the Honse
of Representatives. It is justly regarded
one of the favorable signs of
the times that the'agitation of this iin
portant Question has taken shape in the
practical measure now before Congress
' for adoption or injection. It is
sufficiently clear, practical and sub.
st-jntial in its provisions to justify the
D^ocratic party in staking the issues
_ of the approaching campaigu upon this
bill and it alone.
SAvikxAH News: It is a strong evii

deuce of the unselfishness of the press
of the . United States that Senator
Voorhees's proposition for the free
transmission of newspapers and other
printed reading matter through the
inails has awakened no enthusiasm.
No great demand has been made by
publishers for this favor. Should Congress
see proper to adopt the resolution,
it will save newspaper publishers
many thousands of dollars in postage
annually, and in many instances will
inure to the benefit of the reading public.

A cabeful and painstaking writer
in the Detroit Free Press, gives some
interesting and significant figures and
statistics on the subject of suicides in
tbis country. Among other things, he

Considered with reference to their

Roscoe Coxklixg is eloquent and
classical even in his silence. A prominent
New Jersey Republican, a friend
and supporter of President Arthur,
some time since wrote to the Lordly
Roscoe and requested his opinion on
the Presidential situation, and asked
who would likely be the Republican
nominee for the Presidency. He replied
:
When the Persian Embassy was
about to take leave of the Grecian
conrt, once in olden time, they asked
and received some message from each
of the personages present. When the
turn of Zeno came he said: "Tell your
master that yon saw a gray-haired old
man in Athens who knew enough to
hold his tongue."
Please ascribe to my admiration for
Zeno and his teachings my silence
touching your forecast of my action in
the politics of the future.
Mr. E. W. Fellows, of Cleveland,
Ohio, after experimenting for two
years, has succeeded in inventing a
way to take instantaneous and abso
lately permanent, photographs upon
any substance haying a smooth sur
face, by the action of electricity. The
' expose is less than one cent on each
picture. The importance of this discovery
can hardly be estimated- It
opens up an entirely new field in the
art of photography, and will work a
revolution in all its branches. The
system invented will be especially valuable
to lithographers. This is the
first time that electricity has ever been
applied to the art of photography, and
some little excitement among the photographers
of Cleveland has been
created. Mr. Fellows claims to have
received some flattering inducements
from capitalists, but nothing definite
has yet been decided upon. Articles
describing the process are being prepared
for Eastern scientific journals,
| but mention of the new discovery now
1 j appears in print for the first time.
Tee vireenviiie j\ews is Doia aua
unttinted in its comments upon the
social rules and regulations existing
1 iu official circles at "Washington. It
says:
' There is too much flavor of privileged
order and distinctions of class
about it. Questions of precedence are
f repugnant to the whole spirit of our
; government. There is no real reason
why the wife of any officer of our government
should have any particular
5 place or be accorded any official recog'
nition beyond that which is given to
. any other woman equally well born
and bred. Social distinctions 011 a
' basis of congeniality and fitness are all
right, but when they are carried into
classes and minutely divided by subtle
and unfamiliar rules they become dei
graded, snobbish and ridiculous; when
5 tbev are carried into me mute xiouse
i and officially sanctioned there they become
dangerous. When the time
* comes that we have a class recognized
r as superior in rank to American gen[
tlemen and gentlewomen?and that
, class composed of office holders?the
5 mission of the Republican party will
be entirely fulfilled. We will have a
- frastiicc\ujwiPii\g1iKiuftri'Wi!rnm
the advantages of a real monarchy and
i aristocracy and all the evil and "none
> of the good of a Republic.
^ Mr. Morrison's bill for a horizontal
( reduction of the tariff has been care
J J J J L
iuny prepareu miu luuvuuccu in uju
Eouse of Representatives. The measure
only proposes a general reduction
of all tariff duties?about twenty per
cent. The bill is probably not as radical
as might have been reasonbly expected,
but it is better than no action
at all in this direction, aud the country
is to be congratulated upon the step.
Short as it is, it is a step in the direction
of a radical and thorough revision
of the tariff in the near future. The
Morrison bill, owing doubtless to its
conservatism, will likely pass the
House, while one bolder and more
sweeping wonld have been buried by
the timid vote of still more timid

counted 011 iu the Senate, but
its probable passage in the House will
serve the good purpose of putting both
parties squarely and jpenly upon the
record before the country. Once this
point is made, we will be able to wage
an honest, manly and aggressive campaign
in the fall-of the present year.
The Columbus (Miss.).2V?ir South,
commenting on the future usefulness
of the cotton-picker says:
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
thinks that the repe' ed failures of
Inventors to produce a ooiton-picKing
machine which would do satisfactory
work has led many, if not a majority
of the people of the South, to consider
such a machine as beyond the reach of
human invention. He freely confesses
to being one of the skeptics, and he is
still far from bein^ satisfied. In this
case "seeing is believing." But some
rery encouraging results have been
obtained from a recent invention of a
young man in South Carolina. It is
claimed that his machine has picked
2,000 pounds of seed cotton in ten hours,
and it is also claimed for it that it can
double this feat. The Charleston News
and Courier announces that a bale of
cotton picked by this machine has been
prepared for exhibition, and that the
cotton was picked in as good and clean
conditien as if done by hand. It is
hard to discredit these statement, coming
from sources so reliable and intelligent.
If this machine can be made
assuccessfni as is claimed for it, then a
very stubborn labor problem has been
solved. All of the cotion can be gathered
early and cheaply, and the expenses
of the crop will be greatly diminished.
The steam plough is already
on hand to prepare the land. Planters
are ready to drill the seed in the
most perfect and economical manner.
Thf? snlkev Tjlousrhs are here to do
rapid cultivation. A chopper has
besn invented that will lesson labor
and save time. If the picker followsthere
is nothing lefL for the planter to
desire in the way of appliances to ban,
die this great money-bearing crop.
JUSTICE1 TO PORTER.
The recent passage of the Fitz-John
Porter bill by the National House of
Representatives is but tardy justice to
a very worthy man. The party line3
were somewhat, though not sharply,
drawn in the vote, but sufficiently so,
however, to justify ns in calling it a
Democratic measure. Enough Re- (
publicans will support the bill to secure <
its passage in the Senate, and the ]
chances are that the approval of the ]
executive will be given it. The New
York Herald says editorially: ,
By a vote of 184 to 78 the House ,
yesterday passed the bill for the relief '
of Fitz John Porter. This was so
nearlv a strict Dartv vote as to suggest
the inquiry whether the Republicans
are not the real political Bourbons of
the day in the peculiarity of never
learning anything or forgetting anything.
In spite of the clear presentation
of the case by the Schofield Board
two of the three- members of which
were at first as hostile to Porter as any
Republican Congressman; in spite of
General Grant's change of opinion and
his unanswerable reasons therefor, the
Republican members to know nothing
but that Porter wrote and spoke disparagingly
of Pope.
The Republicans have been looking
so industriously for motes in the Demovo
fhaf. f.hfiv have lost a
splendid chance to relieve their own
vision of an enormous beam. They
have also lost some votes that would
be useful next November, for many of
Porter's soldiers were Repulicans. *
