From thirty thousand to forty thousand work ingmen recently gathered on Skiorat moor, at Halifax, England, to vindicate the people's right to the free and unrestricted choice of their re- presentative. Bradlaugh was the hero of the occasion, and Herbert J. Gladstone, son of the Premier, sent a letter of sympathy.

in many cases much more than the service would cost iflet to the lowest bidder. The amount of the subsidy a fixed by private contract, and the companies patronised are generally the oldest and most substantial. The total amount paid for these subventions and all attendant ex penses in 1882 was £617,267 or more than $3,080,000. Nearly a million dollars of this amount is for subsidies for lines connecting with American ports, while $1,800,000 goes for the Asiatic service, including East India and China. The Peninsular and Oriental Company has been subsklhed ever since the organization of the company in 1837, while the subsidy of the Royal Mall is of nearly as long standing, dating back

to 1839.

to invite the sympathics of the reader, or rather; of the notion that of reason and common sense. Argument and experience alike point to the same conclusious. The difficulty of reaching the masses except by example, the right direction of fashion, and the instruction of those who supply dresses to the multitude, stands in the way of material re- forin. The evil, however, may be much miti- gated by these means. It is old and deeply seated. The real difficulty lies quite as much in convincing people of its existence as in arousing public opinion to the need of something being done towards remedying it. Modern estheti cism has in many ways, and on many occasions, been brought into ridicule and contempt by an affectation of false assumption of excellence, which in the absence of scientific principle and critical knowledge, has led to spurious and ab- surd imitation. But in the teachings of esthetical sanitation we have a tangible-basis-for real and permanent reform which, from its very nature, is free from the dangers of exaggeration or of corrupt following, and which must necessarily lead to a higher appreciative study of the "human form divine."

He says: "Dr. Bulwer illustrates it by men. tioning that when Sir Parter Wyche was Am- -bassador from James--to-the-Grand-Seignior at Constantinople, the Sultances expressed a wish to see his lady, who went in great state, buried-in-the-verdingdale, to wait upon-ber, The Sultaness entertained her respectfully; but withal wondering at her great and spacious hips, she asked her whether all English women wer so made and shaped about those parts, to which my lady Wyche answered that they were made as other women were; withal showing the fallacy of her apparel in the device "of the yerdingdalej until which demonstration was made the Sul- taness verily believed it had been her natural and real shape.” As far as health was concerned this was a comparatively harmless custom, though esthetically it was an extremely peculiar, which in a different manner and in a minor not to say ludicrous, disguise of natural form, degree, as we have seen, is still exhibited now, and at a far greater injury to health.

A valuable article in the London Economist on the shipping interest of Great Britain contains one comparison which (observes an American, paper) brings home to us forcibly our pre- eminence in railway building. It is a comparison of shipping and railroad investments, as follows: Value of British shipping, $1,000,000,coo; value of British railroads $3,700,000,000; value of American railroads, $6,500,000,000, Great Bit- ain herself, the queen of marine commerce, finds her railroad investment to treble that in shipping, while American railroad plant nearly doubles in value that of the mother country. Shipping, a old as civilization, and once the greatest element in the world's commerce, finds it outstripped by a institution but little over fifty years old.

When Brigham Young was alive he collected his tenth of the farmer with a persistency that balked at nothing. On one occasion he called before him a subject who has since removed, elsewhere, and said:Brother Blank, you have not brought in my wheat this year. I didn't raise a single bushel, was the reply. Then I'll take it in oats," "I have none.” “Well, | a withering rottenness,” - hay will do." "I have no hay," "Then bring in potatoes or corn.” “Both crops were a failure, wise prophet. All I have on my farm are ten bushels of onions, and of course the Lord don't cat onions," May be not," growled the old ➡mas, “but you bring me in a bushel and we'll take the risk of it." "Mr. Blank says it was that bushel of onions which convinced him that there was something suspicious about old Brigham's inspirations.. "It was too strong a religion,

Exuberance of bust, if not in itself to be con-

sidered omamental, is at the present day at least endured patiently, for the sake of the supposed advantage of slenderness of waist which, by the 'contrast, is thus greatly emphasized and enhan- ced. This exuberance, was repressed former ly by a fearful ordeal, of which Malcolm says: infatuated by the idea of being considered slender and genteel, the young ladies of 1650 used every means to compress their chests and persons. To accomplish this pernicious purpose, high-bodied stays, extending, from the hips above the breasts, were worn and laced almost to bursting; by which deadly artifice, says Bul- wer, they reduce their breasts into such traits that they soon purchase a stinking breath; and, while they ignorantly affect to an august of narrow breast, and to that end by strong com- pulsion shut up their waists in a whalebone prison, they open the door to consumption and

M. Leroy-Beaulieu, who has been for some, though he has hardly surpassed, M. Léon Say time back the Cassandra of French finance, as a prophet of evil, has a very dismal article on the present outlook in the last number of the Revue de Deux Mondes. The appropriations of 1883, which the Chambers have just voted, amount to the enormous sum of $608,000,000. This however, is less than the actual amount tem, "supplementary credits" for things over will be, because, according to the French cus- looked, or for the deficit of the previous year, will have to be added to it. So that he thinks it will reach altogether $525,000,000. The receipts, all things considered, will leave in the accounts of the current year a deficit of $29,000,000. The outlook for 1884 he does not think any hopeful. The appropriations will have to amount to $620,000,000, and the receipts, judging from the returns of 1882, the last year for which, ac all cording to another vicious French custom, the accounts have yet been made up, will leave a deficit of $40,000,000. He acknowledges, how ever, that this is probably too dark a view, as since 1882there have been certain elements of improve- ment in the revenue; so he puts the deficit of 1884. at $30,000,000. Accepting this as correct, it ap pears that there will then be a total defeit in the three years ending with 1884 of $90,000,000. The only mitigating feature in the situation which he thinks can be counted on with certainty is the conversion of the fives into four-and-a-halfa, which will reduce this amount by about $80,000,000. For the elasticity has apparently gone out of the taxes since 1881. Every year since 1875 the yield has shown an increase, and generally a consider-
