T~‘ Of th* Trade In New World. cattle that were brought Into the American colonies were landed at the James River plantation, in Virginia, In the year 1007. They came from the West Indies anil were the descendants of the eattlo taken to those islands by Cohunbus on his second voyage, in the year 149:i. In 1001 several cows were landed and again in 1011 about one hundred head more were brought to the plantation. This, therefore, was the genesis of the cattle business in America. In order to encourage the industry to the fullest possible extent an order was passed forbidding tho slaughter of any animal of the bovino kind under penalty of death. Under this restriction tho number of cattle increased to thirty thousand in Virginia alono before the end of the year 1019. Tho first eattie brought into tho New England colonies arrived at Plymouth in D>24, and were imported from England by Gov. \,Winslo\v, Three heifers and a bnll /made up tho cargo: “in color,” the Sold, record says, "they were black, ^iaek and white, nml brindle.” In 1696 r twelve oows were- sent to Cape Ann, and In 1699, thirty more. In 1030 about one hundred were imported “for tho exclusive use of tho colony of Massachusetts Bay.” During tho same year one hundred anil three were sent from Holland to Now York; so that by the year 1030 4bere were a good many head of "horned eattlo” in the different colonies. The render naturally thinks of these animals as superb specimens of tho bovine race, hut they were not. History, that is, the carious and interesting part of history, tells us that the average weight of fat eattlo in the Liverpool market as late as 1710 was only three hundred and seventy pounds. What an evolution in one hundred and eighty-two years!—Philadelphia Press.

Aa Attempt to Correct Impression* Crc. •toil by Morten Published Broadcast of Alleged Oppressive Government to ltnnla, Utc. The following discourse was prepared and delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmnge in the liiooklyn tabernacle' by way of refutation of calumnies in regard to Russia and its ruler. Tho text wasf Presnuiploous »•* thry. self willed; they are not nfrall lo «i«.tk evil of dlyaitioe.—XL Peter, 11., la Amid a most reprehensible crew, Peter hero paints by one stroke the portrait of those who delight to slash at people in authority. Now, we all have a right to criticise evil behavior, whether in high places or low, bnt tho fact that one Is high up is no proof that he ought to be brought down. It is a had freak of human nature now. as it was in the time of the text a bad streak of human nature, that success of any kind excites the jealous antipathy of those who can not climb tho same steep. There never was a David on the throne that thero was not some Absalom who wanted to get it There never was a Christ bnt the world had saw and hammer ready to fashion a cross on which to assassinate him. Out of this evil spirit grow not only individual bnt national and International defamation. To no country has more injustice been done than to oiu^own in days that are past. Long beforo ‘‘Martin Chuaalewlt” was printed, the literature of the world scoffed at everything American. Victor Hugo, ns honest as he wns anequaled in literary power, was so misinformed concerning America that ho wrote: "The most singular thing is tho need of whittling, with which all Americans are possessed. It is such that on Sunday they give the sailors little bits of wood, because If they did not they would whittle the ship. In court, at tho most critical moment, the judge, whittling, says: ‘Prisoner, are you guilty?’ and the accused tranquilly responds, whittling: ‘I am not guilty.”* Lord John Russell called us "a bubblebursting nationality.” But our country has at last recovered from such caricature, and there is not a street in sny city of Europe or Asia where the wort! “America” will not win defer

Hut thoro is a sister Ration on the other side ot the sea point through th o process of international defamation. There is no country on earth so misunderstood as Russia, and no monarch more misrepresented than its emperor. Will it not be in the cause of justice if I try to set right the minds of those who compose this august assemblage and th«> minds of those to whom, on both sides of the ocean, these words shall come? If the slandor of one person is wicked, then the slander of one hundred and twenty million people is one hundred and twenty million times more wicked. In the name of righteousness, and in behalf of civilisation, and for the encouragement of all those good people who havo been dlshoartsned by the scandalizntion of Russia, I now speak, lint Russia is so vast a subject that to treat it in one discourse is like attempting to run Niagara Falls over ope mill-wheel. Ho not think that the marked courtesies extended mo last summer by the emperor and empress and crown prince of Russia havo complimented me into the advocacy of that empire, for I shall present you authenticated facts that will reverso your opinions, if they havo been antagonistic, as mine were reversed. I went last summer to Russia with as many baleful prejudices as would make an avalanche from the mountain of fabrication which has for years been heaped up against that empire. You ask how is it possible that such appalling misrepresentations of Russia could stand? I account for it by the fact that tho Russian language is to most an impassable wall. Malign the United States or malign (Ireat Jlritairt or Germany or Franco, and by tho next cablegram the falsehood is exposed, for we all understand English, and many of our people are familiar with German and French. But the Russian language, beautiful and easy to thoso born to speak it, is to most vocal organs an unpronounceable tongue, and if at St. Petersburg or Moscow any anti-Russian calumny were denied, the most of the world outside of Russia would never see or hear the denial. What ore tho motives for misrepresentation?* Commercial interests and international jealousy. Russia is as large as all the rest of Europe put together. Remember that a nation is only a man or woman on a big scale. Go into any neighborhood of America and ask the physician who has a small practice what he thinks of the physician who has a large practice. Ask a lawyer who has no briefs what he thinks ot the lawyer who has three rooms filled with clerks trying in vain to transact the superabundant business that comes to him. Ask thp minister who has a very limited audience what he thinks of the minister who has overflowing audiences? Why does not' Europe like Russia? Because she has onough acreage to swallow all Europe and feel she had only, half a meal. Russia is as long as North and South America put together. "But,” says some one, “do you mean do charge the authors and the lecturers who havo written or spoken against Russia with falsehood?” By no moans. You can find in any city or nation evils innumerable if yon wish to discourse about them.

I said at 8t Petersburg to the most eminent lady of Russia outside of the imperial family: "Are thoao stories of cruelty and outrage that 1 heard and read about true?” She replied: “No doubt, some of them are true, but do you not in America ever hare officers of the law cruel and outrageous in their treatment of offenders? Do you not have instances where the polloe hare clubbed innocent persons? Have you no instances where people in brief authority act arrogantly?" I replied: "Yes, we do.” Then she said: "Why does the world hold our government responsible for except:'onal outrages? As soon as an official is found to be cruel, he immediately loses his place.” Then I bethought myself: “Do the people in America hold the government in Washington responsible for the Homestead riots at Pittsburgh, or for railroad insurrections, or for tne toren of the villian that consumes a block of houses, or for the ruffians who arrest a rail train, making the passengers hold up their arms until the pockets are picked? Why, then, hold the emperor of Russia, who is as impressive and genial a man as I have over looked at or talked with, responsible for the wrongs enaeted in a nation with a population twice ns large in numbers as the millions of America? Suppose one monarch in Europe ruled over England, Scotland, Ireland, Prance, Germany, Spain, ftaly, Austria, Norway and Sweden. Would it be fair to hold the monarch responsible all that occurred in that mighty

It is moat important that this country hare right ideas concerning Russia, for, among all tho nations this side of Heaven, Russia is America's best friend. There has not been an hour in the last seventy-five years that the shipwreck of free institutions in America would I not have called forth1 from all the despotisms of Europe and Asia a shout of gladness wide as earth and deep as perdition. Hut who ever else failed us,' Russia never did, and whoever else was doubtful, Russia never was Russia, then an old government, smiled on the cradle of our government while yot in its earliest infancy. Empress Catherine of Russia iu 1770, or thereabouts, offered kindly interference that our thirtaen colonies might not go down under tho cruelties of war. Again, in 1818, Russia stretched forth toward us a merciful hand. When our dreadful civil war was raging and the two thunder clonds of northern and southern valor clashed, Russia proetlcaily said to the notions of Europe: "Keep your hands off and let the brave men of the north and the south settle their own troubles.” I rehearsed some of those scenes to the emperor last July, saying: "You were probably too young to remember the position your father took at that time,” but with radiant smile, he responded; "Oh; yes, I remember, I remember,” and there was an aceentntion of tho words which demonstrated to me that these occurrences had often been talked of in the imperial household. I stood on New York battery, during the war, as I suppose many of you did, looking off through a magnifying glass upon a fleet of Russian ships. “What are they doing there?” I asked, and so overyono asked. "What business have tho Russian warships in our New York harbor?” Word came that another fleet of Russian ships was in San Francisco harhpr. “What does this mean?” our rulers asked, hut did not get immediate answer. In these two American harbors, tho Russian fleets seemed sound asleep. Their great mouths of iron spoko not a word, and the Russian flag, whether flying in the air or drooping by the flag-staff, made no answer to our inquisitiveness. William II. Seward, secretary of state, asked the Russian minister at Washington the meaning of tlioso Russian ships at Washington, tho meaning of those Russian ships of war in American waters, and got no satis

4uvvui j nuiuu ui * ui t u v o««i to n Russian officer after dining in the home of that eminent politician, Thnrloiv Weed, ihnt maker and nnmaker of presidents: “What are yon doing here with those Russian vessels of war?” Not until after tho war was over was it found out that in case of foreign intervention all the guns of these two fleets in New York and San Francisco’ harbors were to open in full diapason upon any foreign ship that should dare to interfere with the right of Americans, north and south, to settle their own controversy. And now I proceed to do what I told the emperor and empress and all the imperial family at the Palace of Peterhof I would do if I ever got back to Amorlca, and that is to answer some of the calumnies which have been announced and reiterated and stereotyped against Russia. Calumny the first: The emperor and all the imperial family are in porpetnal dread of assassination. They are practically prisoners in tho Winter palace, and trenches with dynamite have been found dug around the Winter palace. They dare not venture forth, except preceded and followed and surrounded by a most elaborate military guard. My answer to this is that i never sow a face more free from worrimont than tho emperor’s face. Tho Wfnte^ palace, around which the trenches are said to have been charged with dynamite, and in which tho imperial family are said to bo prisoners, has never been the residence of tho imperial family one moment since the present emporor has been on the throne. That Winter palaco has bepa-ohanged into a museum and a picture ^gallery and a place of great leveoa. Ilo spends his summer in the palaco at Petorhof, fifteen or twenty miles fram St, Petersburg, ms autumns at the palaco at Oatschina and his winters in a palace at St Petersburg, but in quite a different part of tho city to that occupied bv the Winter palace. He rides through tho streots unattended except by the empress at his side and the driver on his box. There is not a person in this audience more free from fear of harm than he is. II is subjects not only admire him, but almost worship him. There are cranks in Russia, but have we not had our Charles Guitcau and John Wilkes Booth? “Rut.” says' some one, “did pot the Russians kill the father of the present/broperor?” Yes, but in the timo jthat Russia has had one assassination of emperor, America has had two presidents assassinated, “lint is not the emperor an autocrat?” By which you mean, has he not power without restriction? Yes, bnt it nlP-^o-pends upon what use a man makes of his power. Are yon an autocrat in your factory, or an autocrat in your store, or an autocrat in your stylo of bnsin6ss? It all depends on what use you plUte of power, whether to bless or to oppress, and from the time of Peter tho Great—that Russian who was the wonder of all time, the emperor who became incognito a ship carpenter that he might help ship carpenters, and a mechanic that he might holjy'rafcchanies, and put on poor men’s /gartyjlhat he might sympathise with ppor men, and who In his last words said: “My Lord, I am dying. Oh, help my unbelief’—I pay from that' time the throne of Russia has, for the most, part, been occupied by rulers as beneficent ahd kind and sympathetic as they powerful.

Calumny the becon«£* II you go to Russia yon arc under severest espionage, stopped here and questioned there, and in danger of arrest But my opinion is that if a man is disturbed in Russia it is because he ought to be disturbed. Russia is the only country in Europe in which my baggage was not examined. I carried in my hand, tied together with a oord so that their titles could be seen, a pile of eight or ten books, all of them frqm lid to lid cursing Russia, but I had no trouble in taking with me the books There is ten times more difficulty in getting your liaggage through the American custom house than through the Russian. I speak not of myself, for friends intercede for mtfon American wharves, and I am not detained. I was several days in Russia before I was asked if I had any passport at all. Depend upon it if hereafter a man believes he is uncomfortably watched by the police at St Petersburg or Moscow, it is because there is something suspicious about him, and yon yourself had better, when he is around, look after your silver spoons. I promise you, an honest man or an honest woman, that when you go there, as many of you will, for Europenn travel Is destined to change its course from southern Europe to those northern regions, you will have no more molestation or superviaal than in Brooklyn or New York or the quietest Long Island village.

MWH»vp Bat what aro the facts? I had a long ride in St Petersburg and Its suburbs with the prefect » brilliant efficient and lovely man, who is the highest official in the city of 8t Petersburg, and whose chief business is to attend the emperor. I said to him: **I suppose yon religion is that of the Greek .church?” “No,” said he, “I am a Lutheran.” “What is your religion?” I said to one of the highest and most influential officials at St Petersburg, ile said: **I: am of the Church of England.” My-' self, an American, of still another de-j nomination of Christians, and never] having been inside a Greek church in1 my life until 1 went to Russia, couldnot have received more consideration.' had 1 been baptised in the Greek! church, and all my life wor-f shiped at her altars. I hod it' demonstrated to me very plainly that aman's religion in Russia has nothing todo with his preferment for either offiocor social position. The only questions taken into such consideration are honesty, fidelity, morality and adaptation. I had not been in St Petersburg an hour before I received an Invitation to preach the Gospel of Christ as I believed it Beside all this have you forgotten that the Crimean war, which shook the earth, grew out of Russia's interference in behalf of the persecuted Christians of all nations in Turkey? “But says someone, “have there not boon persecutions of other religions >n Russia?” No doubt Just as in other times in New England wo burned witches and as we killed Quakers and as tho Jews in America have boon outrageously treated ever since I can remember, and tho Chinese in our land havo been pelted, and their stores torn down, and their way from the steamer wharf to their destined quarters tracked with their blood. The devil of persecution is In overy land and in all ages. Some of us in the different denominations of Christians in America have felt the thrust of persecution, because we thought differently or did things differently from those who would, if they had the povrter, put us in a furnace eight times heated—one more degree of calorie than Nebuchadnessar's. Persecutions in all lands, but the emperor of Russia sanctions none of them. I had a most satisfactory talk with the emperor about the religions of the world, and ho thinks and feels ns yon and I do—that religion is something between a m m and his God, and no one

has a right to interfere witn «. ion may go right up to St. Petersburg and Moscow with your Episcopal liturgy, or your Pi'esby torian eatechism, or your Congregationnlist’s liberalism, or your immersionist's baptistry, or any other religion, and if yon mind your own affairs and lot others mind theirs, you will not be molested. Calumny the fourth: Russia is so very grasping of territory and she> seems to want the world. But what are the faets? During the last century and a quarter, the United States have taken possession of everything between the thirteen Colonies and the Pacific ocean, and England, during the same length of time, has taken possession of nearly three million square miles, and by the extent of her domain has added two hundred and fifty million population, while Russia has added during that time only one-half the number of square miles and about eighteen million population—England’s advance of domain by two hundred and fifty million against Russias advance of domain by eighteen million. What a paltry Russian advance of domain by eighteen million as compared with the English advance of domain by two hundred and fifty million. The United State? and England had better keep still about extravagant and extortionate enlargement of domain. Calumny the fifth: Siberia is a den of .horrors, and to-day people are driven like dumb cattle; no trial is afforded to the suspended ones; they are put into quicksilver mines, where they are whipped and starved and some day find themselves going around without any head. Some of them do not get so far as Siberia. Women, after being tied to stakes in the streets, aro disrobed and whipped to death in the presence of howling mobs. Offenders hear their own flesh siss under the hot irons. But what are thb faets? There are no kinder people on the earth than the Russians, and to most of them cruelty is an impossibility. I hold in my hand a card. You see on it that rod circle. That is the government’s seal of a card giving me permission to visit all the prisons of St Petersburg, as I had expressed a wish in that direction. As the messenger handed this card to me he told me that a carriage was at the door for my disposal in visiting the prisons. It so happened, however, that I was crowded with engagements and I oould not make the visitation. But do you suppose suolv cheerful permission and a carriage to boot would have been afforded me if the prisons of Russia are such hells on earth as they have been described to be? I asked an eminent and distinguished American; “Have you visited the prisons of St. Petersburg, and how do they differ from American prisons?” Ho replied: “1 have visited them and they are as well ventilated and as well conditioned In every respect as the majority of the prisons in America.” Are women whipped in the street? No; that statement comes from the mannfaotory of fabrication, a manufactory that ruhs day and night, so that the supply may meet th* demand.

The merciful character of the present emperor was well illustrated in the following occurrence: The man who supervised the assassination of the father of the preseut emperor, standing in the snow that awful day, when {he dynamite scattered to pieces the legs of Alexander the Second—I say the man who supervised all this fled from St. Petersburg and quit Russia. But after awhile the man repented of his crime, and wrote to the emperor asking for forgiveness for the murder of his father and promising to be a good citizen, and asking if he might come back to Russia. The emperor pardoned the murderer of his father, and the forgiven assassin is now living in Russia, unless recently deceased. When I talked to tlio empress concerning the sympathy felt in America concerning the sufferings of the drought-struck regions of Russia, she evinced an absorbing interest and a compassion and an emotion of manner and speech such as we men can hardly realligp. because it seems that God has reserved for woman as her great adornment the coronet, the tear-jeweled coronet of tenderness and commiseration. If you say that it was a man, a Divine man that came to save the world, I say yes, bufit was a woman that gave the man. Witness all the Maudonnns, Italian.

his Burchard, Harrison his Carnegie,” it wails, ancl goes on to say that as it is an open question whether Burchard -was a blunder-heels or an assassin so it may be so whether Carnegie really wanted protection continued or overthrown. Carnegie, it says, must have known when he precipitated the Homestead difficulty that he was doing Mr. Harrison and the republican party the greatest possible injury; therefore Hr. Carnegie desired free iron and free steel. This is pleading the baby act with a 'vengeance. Jt does not require a very long memory to recall how persistently the republican organs argued that there was absolutely no politics in the Homestead incident. Whatever may be the truth about the contribution of Carnegie, Frick & Co. to the republican campaign fund, there is no controversy over the point that toward the close of the campaign Postmaster (Mineral Wannmakor sought an interview with Frick, and this interview was heralded by a republican paper as relating to that business. There is no room for doubt that the republican leaders tried to get a contribution from the Carnegie establishment, and did it in so public a manner as to imply that they wore not ashamedfof it if the reaction did tlfem an injury, as there is every reason to believe it did, they have only themselves to blame. They had won so long by means of corruption funds that they had come to believe that such means were irresistible. But after all, Mrl Carnegie whs not the real Burchard of the campnigu. That eminence must he reserved for Hon. William NeKinloy, of Ohio. It was he that did the work with his tariff bill of abominations. A month aftor its passage the people rebnked it with the voice of a political earthquake and the sweep of a tidal wave. Hr. McKinley was not convinced and not dismayed. He coolly said that the pepplo did notkndw what they were about;|hat they had not had time enough to appre- > ciatc the beauties of his bill, but that in two years more they would he madly in love with It The party accopted that view of the matter, aud re tidily adopted the McKinley nonsense about the foreigners paying the tax. Two years of deliberation have not changed the views of the people upon this question. The disciples of McKinley should not shrink from the issue which they forced upon their party. Carnegie is only a side issue. McKinley is the real liurchard of 1803.—Louisville CourierJournal.

The triumph has come from a long four years' fight for principle, and we have won on principle. Democracy knows that it can win now every time. Federalism has been driven out again and it cannot reenter without a new disguise of speciousness.—Kansas City Times. -The triumph of democracy is the triumph of patriotism over venality and corruption. It is triumph of the people over the plutocrats. Let the democrats rejoice then. Let the people rejoice heartily and "in everything give thanks." Let the country thank God for its deliverances from the hand* of the *pollevs! -JUiuoia ftfeta

If it doesn't benefit or ewe, you bnw ywnr money back. years ago I had Bronchitis, which Anally drifted into Consumption, so the doctors said, and they had about given me up. I was confined to my bed. One day my husband went for the doctor, but he was not inhisoflice. The druggist sent me a bottle of Piso’s Care for Consumption. I took two doses of it, and was greatly relieved before the doctor came. He told me to continue its use as long as it helped me. I did so, and the result is, I am now sound and well— entirely cored of Con- ' sumption.—Mrs. P. E. BAKER, Harrisburg, Illinois. February 20, 1891. Abbot Seven

MICROBES. Bacteria are micro-organisms that exist everywhere in countless numbers. They are of many different species, but fortunately, ^nly a limited number of these species are detrimental to human beings, it ir(hought now by scientists that many processes of digestion are assisted by these microbes, and that in some cases they are absolutely necessary to preserve good health, it is only when they attack the ileum, or lower intestine,.that they become dangerous. They can be expelled from the system by a mild laxatjive like the Laxative Gum Drops. These gum drops contain nothing deleterious. They are mild and gentle; they contain nd tas*e of medicine, but they act upon the liver, stomach and bowels, expelling all undigested food and cleansing the whole system. They are thus a certain remedy for fndigestion, heart bum, flatulence and dyspepsia. They can be taken without the slightest danger, for they contain nothing deleterious. In order to get the best results, they should be taken every night for several nights. When this is done, the patient Will find himself entirely relieved. Get them of any dealer. The small boxes are 10 cents, large size 25 tents. SYLVAN REMEDY CO., Peoria, III
