FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 21, 1881.
An Aniericau Carrying Trarte.
International Uevlew.
It ma ba conceived that u nation may
have such facilities for ship-building that,
although it has no cemmeice and does net
engage in the freighting business, it may
make shipbuilding a pi eh table specialty;
and la&tly, it would net be an impossible
supposition that a nation comprising ex
pert seamen might have neither commerce
nor shipbuilding te any extent, and yet
might engage iu a luciative business of
transporting the goods of a commercial
people iu vessels bought from these whose
ptinciial occupation it is te build them.
Fer tlic purpose of making the distinc
tions cle.tr these prepositions are thus
broadly stated. The lirst is very nearly
true in a literal sense as te the foreign
cemmeice of the United States. It is car
ried en for the benefit of ethers in vessels
which we cannot afford te build and are
net permitted te buy. The lirst, second,
and tliiid combined apply te England. She
has her own cemmeice and that of ether
nations can ied in ships which she builds
and owns. Germany represents ths last.
She lias lillle commerce of her own aud
little ship-buil ling, but she buys ships of
England and carries the goods of all na
tions ever the sea. Would it be geed
policy for her te deprive herself of the car
rying trade because she has se little either
cemmeice or ship-building? Is it geed
policy, then, for us te deprive ourselves of
it, because, although we have commerce,
ship-building must still lemain a lest art
under the high tari If which wc cheese te
letain? Of the three distinct industries
wc new have one. Wc might have two ;
but because we cannot have three we will
net teve the t e wc prefer te keep only
eneWhy net, upon the same basis of
reasoning, give up the whole? Our carry
ing trade might be worth mere than a
hundred million dollars a year te us. We
will net have it. Our commerce in im im
peits and experts, a shown by Mr. Xim Xim
me's careful statistics, amounts te $1,108,
082,23 1, neatly all of which is carried in
foreign bottoms. As we cannot have ship
building aud will net have ship owning,
why net dispense with commerce tee ?
Te he consistent, we should carry our
high tariff te its logical conclusions. If
the importation of ships is te be still pro
hibited, why confine the prohibition te
ships and eb.scene books, which are deem
ed se equally detestable that they are cou
pled together as the sole luxuiies in which
an American citizen may net indulge ? In
stead of being totally excluded, while all
things else en some term aie admitted,
ships should be the first articles en the
list.
The ocean is the common pieperty of
the win Id, and no Washington legislation
can have dominion ever it. If we desire
te compate for the traffic upon it, wc must
have ships as cheap as they can be pro
duced or bought by ether nations, and
these we can only have by inipei ting them
absolutely free of duty. There is only
one ether method of obtaining them and
that is by building Ihem at home and mak
ing up the difference in cost from the pub
lic treasury te every individual who wishes
te own a ship Subsidies te any paiticu
lar line of steamships te aid shipbuilding
arc manifestly p.ntial and unjust, and
even if they v.eie net m, they would net.
aid in giving a carrying trade te any ship
owners beyond the few who would receive
such cxtiaeidinary favor.
AVlicn our ships cost one-third mere
than these of England, and thcic is conse
quently one-third mera interest and in
surance at stake ; and when they aie taxed
as personal prepeity at the annual rate of
two and one half per cent, besides a na
tional fax of thirty cents per ten, te say
nothing of the inequality of our maritime
laws touching theexpense of sailing them,
which I have net space new te consider
there is needed te bolster them up an
amount of subsidy which Congie-s will
never he induced te grant.
It has been said that if wc should repeal
our registry I.iv.s wc should net by that
mcnsiuc lcg.iiu our carrying trade. This
may be admit ted : but at the same time,
without this irpralinir legislation, we
should also fail. It is the first step nit the
ladder without which wc cannot teach the
ethers, hewi vor smooth and e.i-iy they
may be made What we need is, first,
repeal of our navigation laws, se that
Ameiiran citizens can own ships as cheap
ly as fercignnis ; and then such further
legislation as will enable them te sail then;
ships te the .-ame advantage.
The Cattle Plague.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Ne subject has attracted meie general
attention than the discussion of the cattle
plague. The uncertainty that prevails as
te the character of the disease, and as te
the extent of its picvalence inthisceuntty
and Europe, it is feared, will have a de
pressing effect en both our feicign and
domestic cattle trade.
The agitation in Emepe came last year
just as new impetus was given te the ex ex
eort of Aineiiean cattle and beef, and the
impeitanec of lomeving the impicssien
that there was likely te be r. general pre
valence of the disease in this country be
came apparent at once. As it was, the ex
portation of cattle from the Atlantic petts
were larger than ever befeie. This new
demand net only caused an advance in the
prices, but brought te the great counters
of the cattle trade a better grade of ani
mals. The influence extended te the plains
and te the great Southwestern graziug
regions, aud ranchmen as well as farmers
sold their cattle at geed profits. The effect
was te stimulate ellerts looking te the im
provement of Texas and far West cattle,
and if the country can be rid of the cattle
plague there is little doubt that our for
eign trade will be greatly increased and
the domestic trade greatlyMniprevcd as te
the character of the animals marketed.
All this will be te the advantage of the
farmeis, ranchmen, drovers aud dealers,
and te the consumer as well.
But at the very iiistmove made by lead
ers ea the plains for the improvement of
their stock cattle, by the transfer of dairy
and ether stock fiem the East, they wcre
met by the menace of the cattle plague.
Over 30,000 dairy calves, brought te
Chicago fiem New Yerk and Pennsylvania,
wcre sold last year at geed prices and
transported te states west of this line.
The number would hava been increased
but for the prevalence of pleuro-pncume-
nia in Maryland and ether Eastern states,
Fearing that the shipment of young cattle
from the East te the West would be the
cause of spreading the disease, there was
a strong pretest against it.
While it was generally conceded that
plcuro-pneumenia did net prevail in the
West, it was claimed that Western cattle
forwarded te New Yerk for shipment
abroad became infected, and se carried
the disease te Europe. This claim has
been investigated aud discussed in Con Cen
gi ess and out, and government commis
sioners were appointed te report as te
causes and remedial measures.
TIicfe reports are new before Congress,
aud there is little doubt that decisive ac
tien will seen be taken. Wc publish in
lu.ther column a lengthy aiticle rem a
cattle breeder, whose experience and
observation lead him te dissent from the
views expressed by the government com
missioners. He files an emphatic pretest
against the value of their reports, and
against their methods of procedure in rid
ding the country of the plague.
He argues the whole case from a new
standpoint, declaring against the "stamp
ing out" theory, and elaborating a theory
of his own, in which he discusses causes
aud remedies. He covers the question of
infection during transportation, and makes
some practicable and valuable suggestions
as te prevention.
Cattle dealers and furmcis may net
agree with Mir. Clark en all points, but we
imagine very few will deny that Ins inves
tigation has thrown new light en the sub
ject, or that his facts, arguments and sug
gestions aic made public at a time when
thcie is great demand for information en a
subject that has puzzled our ablest men.
Mark Twain.
lie Tells Some or His Traveling .Experience.
I get into the cais and took a seat in jux
taposition te a female. That female's face
is a perfect insurance company it insured
her against ever getting married te any
body except a blind man. Her mouth
looked like a crack iii a dried lemon, and
tht-ie was no mere expression iu her face
than there is in a cup of cold custaid. She
appeared as if she hud been through one
famine and had get about two-thirds
tin eugh another. She was old enough te
be great-graudmether te Alary that had
the little lamb. She was chewing prize
popcorn, and carried in her hand a yellow
lese, while a bandbox and cotton umbrella
nestled sweetly by her side. I couldn't
guess whether she was en a mission of
charity, or geiug West te stait a saw mill.
I was full of curiosity te hear her speak,
se I said :
"The exigencies of the time lequiie
great circumspection in a person who is
traveling."
Says she, " What ?'
Says I, "The eib of day shines re
splendent in the vault above."
She hitched around uneasy like, then
she raised her umbrella aud said, "I
don't want anj of your sass gel out "
and I get out.
Then I took a seat alongside a male fel
low, who looked like a ghost of Hamlet
lengthened out. He was a stalely cuss,
and he was reading.
Said I : " Mister, did you ever see a
catnclepaid ?" I said camelopard,
because it is a pious animal,
and never eats grass wit limit getting down
en nis knees, lie said lie iiailu t fccu a
camclepaid. Then said I. "De (you
chew?"
He said, "Ne, sir. ''
Then I said, "Hew swiei is natuie !"
He took this for a cenui'diiim, and said
he didu t knew, then lu said he was
deeply interested in the history of a great
man. " Alas !" he exclaimed, we are but
a few."
I told him I knew ene: "The man
that made my cooking stove was a gicat
man."
Then In: asked, "Would I lead ?"
Says I, " What have you get?"
He replied, "Walls's Hymns," "Rever
ies by Moonlight." and "IIew te Spend
the Sabbath "
I said, "Nene of them for Hannah,"'
but if he had an uuabiidged business di
rectory of New Yerk cit v, I would take a
little lead.
Then he said, "Yeung man, leek at
these gray hairs."
I told him I saw them, and when a man
get te be as old as he was he ought te die.
Said I, "Yeu needn't think these hairs
are any sign of wisdom, it's only a sign
that your system lacks iron ; aud I advise
you te go home and swallow a crow
bar." "
He took this I'.tr iron), aud what little
entente ceidialc there was between us was
spilled. It tui tied out that he was chap
Iain of a baseball club.
When we get te Rochester I called for
a bowl of soup. I send you the receipt
for niakiug it Take a let of water, wash
it well, aud boil it until it is brown en
both sides, then veiy carefully pour one
bean iu it and let it simmer. When the
beau begins te get restless, wcetcn it with
salt, then put it up in air-tight, cans, hitch
each can te a biick and chuck them over ever over
bear I, and the syiup is done."
The, above receipt originated wilh a man
iu Iowa, who get up suppers en odd occa
sions for Odd !''cl!es.s. Ileh d a leeeipt
for oyster soup, leaving out the salt.
Speaking el" Iowa lcminds me of the
way I get my money te pay for my ticket
and nay for that fellow's supper. I bet a
fellow a dollar that I c.uild tell hiin hew
much water te a quart went uuder the
railroad bridge ever the Mississippi at Du

all the 'upper was an awful swindle.

Culling a Hey's Hair. '
There is no use in footing around about
it. When a boy's hair has become long,
and bleached, aud scraggy, and full of
burrs and feathers, it is time te cut it and
the inevitable must be faced.
The boy doesn't want it enf el" course.
Ne one ever had a speaking acquaintance
with a boy who thought that the time had
an ived when he could pail with enough
hair te staff a sofa pillow. They must be
ceciced, and kind and btead premises are
thrown away. Coercion i; the only
method.
I let my bevs inn abeu se long and
when I get a spaic half day play barber.
There is no appeal from my decision
When I come out flat-footed I cany my
point, or die trying.
"Yeung man, you can :ct ready te have
your hair cut."
"Next week ?"
"Ne, sir new !"
"With a buzz-saw ?'"
"Yes, if the shears weu"t de it "
"Won't you draw blend ?"
"I may have te."
"If you won't cut my hair I'll biingin
'uuff weed and coal te last all winter, and
I won't ask for a light when I go te bed."
"Come out here and make le uly !"
I never take any chances en a boy. I
have an old chair belted te the fleer, and
then I belt the boy te the chair. I fix him
se that he can move neither hand nor feet,
i put a soft gag in his mouth te pi event a
neighborhood alarm, ana negin weric. tnc
first step toward cutting a boy's hair is te
put in ten minutes' hard work with a curry
comb. If it hasn't been running around
loose ever two or three years this feel will
be found sufficient te take out the snarls,
buttons and articles previously mentioned.
A basket is placed behind t he chair for
them te drop into, and they can be deco
rated with fancy pictures and made te
serve as parlor ornaments.
When the boy's head is ready for the
shears brace your feet and shear away.
Shear front, back, top, and sides without
reference te lines or angles. The object
is te remove hair. There is no use of any
conversation, net even when the shears
find a piece of wire and refuse te cut it.
The boy wouldn't knew hew it get theie
I if yen asked him. ne lias had his head
in closets,' cellars, gariets, barns, fence
corners, barrels, boxes and all sorts or
nooks, and such extra attachments are no
surprise te him.
Ne one should be less than half an henr
robbing an ordinary boy of his capillary
substance. Any attempt te hurry the job
will result iu overlooking a let of shingle
nans, tue missing screwdriver or some
thing wiiich may damage his Sunday hat.
My average" is thirty-five minutes, and I
have only two minutes left after being
able te see that he has a scalp. It then
takes an additional ten minutes te leek
him ever and identify him as tbesame boy
I began en. nis neck has grown longer, the
size of his ears increased and the whole
shape of his head is altered. When I feel
sure that he is my boy and net the son of
some neighbor who has skulked in en me,
I brush him off with an old broom, crack
his head three or four times, draw the
belts and remove the gag, and then held
the deer open for him te sheet into the
back yard. I am a loving father in all
else, but when I cnt a boy's hair I am a
stem old Reman of the first water.
Opening Oysters.
A rreucliuian Criticise tbe American Plan
or Dolne It.
XewYeikSnn.
" Among all the hundreds of persons
who open oysters in this city, there is net
one who opens them in the European
plan," said an exasperated Frenchman te
a Sun reporter.
"1 have lived in your country 26 years,
and during all that time I have seen only
one oyster-opener who knew his business.
That man was in the famous old Maisen
Deree,"in 14th street. Here the French
man heaved a sigh. Martinez, peer
fellow, had te advertise for weeks before
he get him, and I'm net sure but that at
last the oyster-opener had te be imported.
Theie is a correct way for doing almost
everything, and generally the correct way
is the easiest, as iu this matter of opening
oysters. The way te open an oyster se as
te save all the liquor, which, te connois
seurs, is a valuable part, is net te smash it
and murder it. as most of your oyster
openers de, nor te stab it, as they de in
Bosten, Baltimore, Washington aud ether
places. And then oyster-openers always
lay out the oyster en the flat or convex
shell, se that by the time your plate of
raw en the shell comes te you what little
juice that was net spilled in the slaughter
ing has all run away. The live oyster
opens aud closes its shells at will by means
of tough little membrane or 'hinge' about
a quarter of an inch in length. This hinge
is at the small or narrow end of the oyster.
It fellows that all that is needed te be done
te separate the two shells, whether the
oyster is alive or dead, is te sever this
little hinge. It is invisible when the shells
arc closed, but these who understand the
busiuess(and any one can learn it in five
minutes) knew exactly where and hew te
find it.
"I have showed this little trick te
scores of oyster openers, but because it is
a little difficult at first they go en with
their mauling and stabbing. New. when
Mai tincz had filially secured this French
oyster opener who knew his business lie
set him at work at the side of the man
who opened after the barbarous fashion
still in vogue in this country. What was
the result ? Why he opened two oysters
while the ether man was opening one, aud
every oyster that he opened was laid out
en the deep shcel without a drop of the
liquor being lest. It is one of the great
est pleasures in the world te eat oysters
opened in that way. But you Americans
always go in for appearances. And when
I ask an oyster opener why he doesn't
give me my oysters en the deep shell, even
if he must open they in the wrong way,
he always says he presents the in en the flat
