THE color of (lie 2-cent postage
stamp is not just what Postmaster
General Wanamaker would like it to
be and a change will soon be made in j
color and size. The size will he one- j
third less than the present style and
the color changed to metallic red or !
carmine.
THE legislature of Michigan on j
Saturday decided to place that state j
in the ranks of those which have '
passed laws for the purification and j
secrecy of the ballot-box. A new law, j
embodying the most important fea- ;
tuvos of the Australian system, was j
adopted and will be tried at the next
election. Pennsylvania's prospects of
adopting this much-needed reform
are not very encouraging, as Quay
has said it is not needed in this state.
INDIANA passed a law to prevent
the sole of Chicago dressed beef in
that state and the courts have declar
ed it unconstitutional. Free trade
between the several states is one of
the first principles of the United
States Constitution, and has been the
most powerful factor in advancing the
nation to what it is to-day. If free
trade between states has accomplished
so much good, would not free trade
between nations accomplish consider
able more?
TIIE Scranton Truth , situated as it i
is in the midst of protected industries,
has opened its eyes to the fact that j
protection is nothing more or less j
than a one-sided iniquity. In a recent j
editorial it says:
The Truth has been an ardent admirer ]
of the doctrine of protection because it
honestly believed that it was best for the
workingmen; but if labor is to be denied
its share of the profits arising from this
economic system, and monopoly is to use
it merely as a campaign cry to he forgot
ten as soon as the voteH arc counted, we
will have no scruples about denouncing
it at the very first opportunity when de
nunciation can be made effective.
GOVEIINOK NICHOLS of Louisiana has
thrown a wet blanket upon the pro
posed Sullivan Kilrain contest, which
is to take place within one hundred
miles of New Orleans on Monday next,
by issuing a proclamation denouncing
the tight as a "disgraceful exhibition,"
and that "all persons concerned there
in may be held to a strict legal
responsibility and punishment."
Whether or not the Governor is really
in earnest in his desire to improve the
morals of his state remains to be seen.
If this contest is against the law he
should see that it does not take place;
if it is not against the law let him
keep his hands off, and may the best
man win.
IT is astonishing with what rapidity !
labor and reform papers are springing
into existence. We know that it j
would astonish the great majority of !
our readers, for we know it astonishes
us. Tho Single Tax movement is j
taking like wild-fire, and the more the
people knows of it the more contagious j
it becomes. Old Greenbackers, Anti
Monopolists, Union Labor men, J
Knights of Labor and Alliance men I
are looking into the subject. Even 1
Democrats and Republicans, who have !
investigated the matter at all, admit j
the justice of it. It is all anti-mono- j
poly —in behalf of the many as against j
the very few. It works injustice to
none.— The Nonpareil.
THE Government, it is reported, has
contracted for 550,000 enameled bricks
of English make to be used in the
construction of the Congressional
Library building. Of course, the
Government will not have to pay the
tariff duty on imported bricks for its
own use; that burden is only laid on
the bricks made for or imported by
other builders. But if the encourage- \
liient of the home industry and the
employment of our own brickmakers i
are objects to which the Government
forces everybody else to contribute,
why does it turn tail on its own policv
when buying bricks for itself? The
brick rankers of Philadelphia, who
think they make bricks good enough
for Government structures, are some
what puzzled by the antics of this
I ligli Tariff Administration.— Record.
THAT charitable aphorism, to speak
no ill of the dead, has been generally \
observed in the case of ex-United
States Senator Simon Cameron, who
passed quietly away from this life at
Harrisburg last week. But those
papers that throw the mantlo of char
ity over the person of tho deceased in
kindness to his relatives, should not
forget that they owe a greater duty
to the living than to the dead. Simon
Cameron's treatment of the Winneba
gocs, his career as Secretary of War
which compelled President Lincoln to j
demand his resignation, his bare faced !
bribery of three members of the Penn
sylvania legislature to secure a seat in
the United States Senate, and the
authorship of an infamous system of
politics—bribery and bull-dozing
which continues in force to this day,
are matters of public importance and
should receive the condemnation of
all honest men.
Tariff ItleHHingH of Ono Day.
A little later than this time last year !
' numerous railroad excursion parties of j
i Indiana and Illinois miners visited In-;
; dianapolis to congratulate Candidate ;
1 Harrison and hear him descant upon the
beauties and blessings of the tariff. It j
I was the boast of the candidate in his
j speeches to these excursion parties that
I lie hail studied ''markets, not maxims."
: The coal miners of Illinois and Indiana
; who applauded these speeches, and who
have been thrown out of employment or
are working half time at reduced rates,
have now abundance of leisure to con
template the promised blessings of the
tariff in the light of actual experience.
During the last two months numerous :
weavers have quit work in Blackstone,
Mass., because the reduced wages were
not sufficient to support them and their
families. Many looms are idle on this
account. The "Home Market Club," of
Boston, told the weaversof Massachusetts !
last year that the wicked "free traders" j
in advocating free wool were endeavor- ]
ing to take the bread out of their mouths. t (
Thousands of Massachusetts weavers ; f
who listened to the professions <>f the
tariff beneficiaries are now learning how .
egregiously they were deceived.
In Bangor, Me, the workingmen in the ; 1
saw-mills and planing-inills have organiz-! ;
ed a strike which embraces nearly 2000 j
men. The men complain that they are .
not sufficiently paid for twelve hours of ;
1 work, and they demand that the day's
| work be reduced to eleven hours without I
any diminution of wages. In his appeals j
; to the workingmen of Maine last year 1
Mr. Harrison assured them that the j
; tariff, if left undisturbed, would shower !
I upon them continuous blessings and !
, benefits. He eloquently warned them 1
j against the insidious wiles of the free !
; traders, whose object, he said, was to j
I bring them to the degraded level of the i
I pauper labor of Europe. Two thousand j
I workingmen of Bangor are now engaged |
in a despairing struggle to wrest one i
short hour of respite from a day of un- j
1 remitting toil, and the tariff beneficiaries, j
I who enjoy a bounty of $2 per 1000 feet >
| upon the lumber which their employes
saw and plane into boards, refuse to j
I yield a single moment. The men must !
| work twelve hours a day for eleven-hour j
I wages or starve.
I These are among the brief chronicles j
of one day of tariff blessings in this I
j country as told by the telegraphic dis- I
, patches. The records are accumulating j
j at a rapid rate— Philti. Record.
Massachusetts'* New llallot Law. j
I The new ballot law in Massachusetts 1
{ will receive its first practical application '
! at the state election of this year, and
j much will depend upon its successful j
! working. Politicians and election officers
i who would like to see it fail might be !
able to contribute somewhat to the result j
if there was nobody to watch them or to \
j look out for proper efforts to make the !
new system a success. Realizing this
. fact, friends of the reform in Massachu
! setts have formed a llallot-Act League, i
! the object of which is to see that none of 1
i the steps for, making the provisions of
1 the law effective are ovelooked or neg
lected. It will look after the preparation
of the proper forms for nominations,
I ballots, etc., the plans for polling arrange
ments, the information of election
; officers and political committees, and in
general will see that the work is done,
that is necessary to put the reform into
successful operation at the start. It is a
j most desirable organization, and the i
, friends of the reform in other states that I
1 have passed laws regulating the ballot 1
will do well to follow the Massachusetts
example, and look after their proper i
j execution.— N. Y. Times.
Yicioun Newspapers.
By the term vicious we do not mean
those that advocate violent reform meas
ures or any radical changes in manners
or in customs. We refer solely to such
papers as print sensational news, chiefly
that which sets youthful minds aflame
j with improper desires, and instead of
elevating their morals, degrades them.
I Base stories of elopements, divorces,
sometimes coupled with murder, theft
j and other crimes, the perusal of which
week after week makes the readers of
such cases well acquainted with crimes
: and misdemeanors they should he en
: tirely ignorant of. Their advocates and
j supporters say that making such affairs j
! public deters others from committing j
them, and it is hut proper that vice
should he exposed that the unwary may I
he warned. Nonsense! Who ever'
heard of any one refraining to commit a ;
crime lest it should become public. Or I
who that has committed crimes and ex
-1 cesses fears the publicity of his acts.
They may dread the punishinet but not j
the notoriety it brings them. No, these i
I papers are gotten up with a different;
purpose than that of showing the malig-1
j nity of violating law. They cater to i
depraved natures, and the public that |
supports them is at fault. Some are
: illustrated, some are not. The latter
have as evil an effect as the former.

! The announcement has been made
that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of
this week, Thomas Ewing Sherman will
| receive the orders of sub-deacon, deacon
: and priest in the chapel of the Roman
j Catholic Cathedral at Philadelphia. The
candidate is a member of the Society of
Jesus, and comes from Woodstock Col
lege, Howard County, Md. The orders
will be conferred by Archbishop Ryan,
and only bishops, prominent clergymen
and relatives of the candidate will be pre
sent, admission being by card. Thomas
E. Sherman is the oldest son of General
William Tecumseh Sherman, and was
born in Lancaster, 0., in 1856. lie
graduated from Georgetown College, D.
C., in elementary studies in 1875. He
* took a two-year course in science at Yale,
after which he studied law and graduat
| ed. He went to England, where, at
Koehampton, he entered the novitiate of
the Society of Jesus, the rules of that
order requiring the candidate to give two
years' reflection on the career he has
chosen. If, at the end of that time, he
remains firm in his determination, he is
allowed to make his first vows of chastity,
; poverty and obedience. Hethen devotes
live years to study and several years to
i teaching.
Mr. Sherman went to Woodstock from !
Roehampton. Latter he was sent to the
Jesuit College at Detroit, and then to the
I St. Louis University, in each of which
he was a teacher for some time, after
which he returned to Woodstock. He
will spend two years more after ordina- j
tion in the study of theology.

It is estimated that there are at this
very moment dogs in the
United States. Now it is plain that no
dog can be boarded for less than three I
cents per day, which would run the keep 1
of every dog to at least ten dollars per
annum, or $20,000,000 for all the dogs in I
the land. What is worse most of these 1
dogs are absolutely useless. The money I
required to feed this enormous kennel !
would gi vc 400,000 families SSOO each j
every year. Just think of the vast '
wealth Gaily thrown to the dogs!

A Letter of Lincoln;
The following is contributed by Dr.
W. C. Wilkinson to the Century : "The
remarkable popular interest iu every
thing that throws light upon the char
acter of Abraham Lincol, which the
| serial publication of his life in the
! Century Magazine in part finds and in
part creates, emboldens me to believe
that a recent discovery of my own
bearing on the matter may be accepted
by many readers as a contribution not
, without its value to the growinguub
lic fund of Lincoln memorabilia. I use
| the word 'discovery,' although that
word may not seem lit, when I say, as
| I must, that what I discovered was al
j ready public enough to be seen framed
I and hanging on one of the interior
walls of the line State Capitol in Nash
i ville, Tennessee. The documents to
, which I refer are now no longer to be
; seen where I saw them, they having,
! since my visit to Nashville a few years
| ago, been removed to a much less
frequented place of custody in the
j same city. Through the intervention
of a friend I lately found them again,
j though not without trouble, aud here
| show them for examination of the
I curious.
j "They consist of two letters, one
I written to, and the other written by,
, Abraham Lincoln. How they came
; into public keeping, and with what
; history, in the case of the illustrious
; writer of one of the letters, they may
' be associated, I have sought in vain to
learn. But the letters happily explain
themselves. Perhaps the enterprising
I authors of the biography now being
published in the magazine may bo able
to bring these letters into their proper
| sotting in the circumstances of Lin
! coin's life.
! "One thing was very noteworthy in
. the autograph letter of Lincoln, and
1 that was its immaculately neat and
j correct mechanical execution. The
manuscript had tho physiognomy and
air of one produced by a habitually
fastidious literary man. The hancl
j writing was finished enough to bo call
i ed elegant; the punctuation, the spell
ing, the capitalizing, were as conscien
tious as tho turn of tho phrase may be
seen to bo.
! "It is a Mr. W. G. Anderson who
writes a covertly threatening letter to
j Lincoln—little dreaming at that mo
; ment that it was an historic document
! that he was so seriously inditing. The
i date is Lawronceville, October 30,1840.
The address is stiffly, meant perhaps to
he even more formidably, formal. It
iis 'A. Lincoln, Esqr.; Dear Sir.' Mr.
Anderson straitly says:
'"On our first meeting on Wednesday last, a
difficulty in words ensued between us, which
1 deem it my duty to notice further. 1 think
you wero tite nturressor. Your words import
ed Insult; and whether you meant them as
such is for you to say. You will therefore
please Inform me on this point. And if you
desifrn to offend me, please communicate to
mo your present I'eolinKS on the subject, and
whether you persist in the stand you took.'
"Anil Mr. Anderson sternly signs
himself, "Your obedient Servant."
"There now was a chance for Mr.
Abraham Lincoln. How will he meet
it? Will he chatf Mr. AnilorsonP Will
he give him stiffness for stiffness?
There will surely be an interesting
revealtion of character. The actual
fact is, if Abraham Lincoln had known,
in writing his reply, that he was writ
ing it much more for the whole world
and for all future generations, than
simply for his personal friend Mr. An
derson, to read, I do not see how he
could have written it better for the
advantage of his own good fame. Here
is his reply;
" 'LAWKBNCEVIT.I.E, OCT. 31st, 1840.
*"W. G. ANDERSON.
" 'DKAR Silt: Your note of yesterday is re
ceived. In thcdilliculty between us of which
you Bpoak, you say you think 1 was the ay
yressor. Ido not think 1 was. You say my

Kissing tlio Ladies.
Nicolatts de Bcthlen, a pupil of
Doctor Basire at Alba Julia, visited
Kngland during the winter of 1663-64.
and relates the following in his "Auto
biography": "Being unaware of the
fact that it was customary in England
to kiss the corner of the mouth of
ladies byway of salutation, instead of
shaking hands, as we do in Hungary,
my yottugcr brother and I behaved
very rudely on one occasion. We
were invited to dinner to the house of
a gentleman of high rank, and found
his wife and three daughters, one of
them married, standing in array to
receive us. We kissed the girls, but
not the married ladies, and thereby
greatly offended the latter, but Duval,
a French Protestant clergyman, apolo
gized for our blunder, and explained
to us that when saluting we must al
ways kiss the senior lady first and
leave the gil ls and children to the last; ■
after dinner it was considered sufficient
to kiss the hostess only, in recognition
of the hospitality received." There
after, he adds, he and all his traveling
companions, with tho exception of one
who could not bo prevailed upon, com
plied most scrupulously with tho rules
of etiquette. Bethlen moved in the
best society in London. Ho was re
ceived by Charles 11. "in publico
solemni audentia" surrounded by a
throng of noblemen; ho called upon the
Dux Lboracensis, Rupertus Palatinus
Rlioni, and many noblemen of high
rank. At Oxford he was entertained |
and made much of by tho professors,
who, he informs us, spoke Latin with
difficulty. In fact, everybody in En- j
gland, he tells us considered it a great
torture to be obligod to speak Latin,
and he was therefore compelled to air
his broken English, which ho had ;
pickud up at Leydon undor the tuition j
of a poor Englishman. |
MEN WITH LONG HAIR.
An Era of Them IN Predicted an Already
oil ItM Way Hither.
The newest, fad among the young
men in New York is to let their hair
flow long, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
t seems that in a certain set in Lon
don there lias arises a sudden rage
for those lengthy locks which not
a great while back were looked upon
as effeminate and ridiculous.
A club man standing in the window
of his favorite club house the other
day, tartly commenting on the passers
by, noticed one of them smooth-faced,
abundant locked young fellows, and
bttgan to examine the question in the
leisurely, minute manner that only
club loungers have time to bestow
upon trifles. Said he: "See that thing
out there, with a bang ail over his
head! It's the first oue of the sort I've
seen here. Over iu England last spring
1 saw a lot of them. They are the sig
nal of a uew ideal among the young
men—those long-locked fellows are.
When I was young the military tvpo
was what we all patterned after, liair
cropped close, big mustache, square
shoulders, and all that sort of thing.
Later the Prince of Wales set a new
model, which had less of the military
air auil more the type of the society
man about it. The hair was still short,
but the martial mustaches dropped
their points, and a Vandyke beard
was added. It was a very unpictur
esque type, and was better suited to the
middle-aged men like the Prince than
the young fellows who, nevertheless,
endeavored to couform to it. They
weren't satisfied, though, and when I
was on the other side, a few months
back, I saw the enormous infiuence of
the stage, which seems to be para
mount just now, was appearing even
in this. Both the beard and mustache
has disappeared, aud most of the young
swells had faces as free of hair as a
I girl's. They claimed that a man look
ed more 'distinguished' with a clean
face, aud I don't know but there is
some truth in the claim. 1 never had
anything but annoyance from the big
mustache I wear, and I think nature
tripped up when she gave man hair on
his face anvhow; it isn't of the slight
est use, and it's an awful lot of trou
ble.
Well, but, as I was saying, the real
reason of the young fellow's clean
shave was the infiuence of such men
as Irving, Wilson Barrett, and the
voung 'beauty men' on the stage, who,
by the nature of their profession, and
often much against their will, are
obliged to keep their face clean-shaved.
It is a curious fact that when a man
takes all the hair off his face it imme
diately becomes necessary he should
let it grow on his head/ If he still
keeps his head cropped he gets a
prison convict, a picked-chicken kind
of air that is eminently unbecoming.
If you will notice our ancestors of the
past generation, who used to consider
hair on the face an unforgivable vul
garity, wore their hair not less than
two inches long. You'll see it in all
the portraits of the judges and Sena
tors of that day. And, indeed, if you
will look over any book of costumes
you will find that in every period a
smooth face aud long hair, mustaches
and a close crop, have always gone
together. So as a result of this shav
ing of countenauces the locks began
to sprout again, and now here's a
specimen of the fashion among our
own gilded youths, Kyrle Bellew has
helped on the style; Henry Irving be
gan it. Of course there will always be
a lot of red-faced or turnip-nosed or
stocky young fellows who will fight
shy of a fashion sure to be unbecoming
