An epidemic of the grip is certain to be general throughout America im u very short cime. Already many cases have been observed by physicians in New York city, as well as ia other cities of the land. Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New York board of | health, says that the disease will mantfest its presence generally in the very near future and that iz Is already here more than is generally realized. He said: “I think we will have a stip epidemic soon, and there are indications that it will be @ looz siege. While I do not want to create a scare, I warn people to beware of it and to use all | precautions possible.

A deer, when started by a hunter or driven by hounds, usually returns in a few days to the same hill or mountain-side where he was first found; but a moose, when once thoroughly alarmed, will start in a long swinging walk, and, taking with him his entire family, leave for good. It is one of the great difficulties—and there are many—in still hunting this animal, to avoid getting him under way, for then the hunter may as well break camp and try other fields, since not a moose will be found within miles. They scent a moccasin track or the smoke of a fire at an incredible dis- tance.- A fresh trail may be found one day and arrangements made to follow it on the morrow. During the night the moose, re- turning to his old haunts, detects the dan- ger signs, and all the hunters find in the morning is a trail six or eight hours old, leading for parts unknown in an almost perfectly straight line. The moose at that moment, perhaps, twenty miles off, and still going. Although moose cannot be driven into water by hounds, like deer, but will turn savagely to bay, still they will not remain in a locality where dogs are running; so that when the white hunters became nu- merous in the north woods, and especially when they introduced hounding, the moose simply left the country, and passed either eastward to Maine or northward to Canada. It is a well-authenticated but little-known fact that they practically left in one season. They were numerous in the Adirondacks, especially in Brown’s Tract—a large dis- trict in what is now the southwestern wil- derness—until the period between 1850 and 1855 (probably near the latter year), when they suddenly disappeared. Before this several had been killed yearly. Scattered ones were shot later, but 1855 marked their exit from the annals of New York game. Years later four or five were brought back to Saranac, but would not sta —___ see ‘The property of C. T.

Y. City THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. Senator Mills Appointed im Place of Sen McPherson. Senator Roger Q. Mills, whose name Was given to the democratic tariff bill of the Fiftieth Congress, was yesterday placed on the Senate finance committee temporarily in the room of Senator McPherson, who is now in the south. The appointment was made at the request cf Chairman Voorhees. Mr. McPherson recentiy wrote Senator Voorhees, saying that if it should appear that his absence would occasion any -em- barrassment he was willing to have sofie ether Senator substituted for himself upon the committee. There is probability of Mr. McPherson's absence being prolonged, apd as the committee will soon be called upen to take up the tariff bill, it was thought wise to fill the committee's ranks, and Senator Mills was selected because of his familiarity with these subjects, gained by many years of experience as a member of the ways and means committee of the House. No Material Effect. His name was mentioned in connection with this committeeship when the Senate reorganized its committees at the beginning of the present Congress. Republican mem- bers of the Senate are quite concerned over the change, as they regard Mr. Mills ‘as far more pronounced in his leaning toward free trade than Mr. McPherson. it would appear, however, that the change is not likely to have any material effect upon dhe decision of the committee with reference:to the tariff, as, before leaving for the south, Mr. McPherson expressed if as will- ing to abide by the decision of the demo- cratic members on this question. In that event,his course would have been controlled by Senators Voorhees, Harris, Vest, Vance and Jones of Arkansas, and‘Mr. Mulls is in accord with these gentlemen on the tarii. The fact is also noted that Senator Vance is absent irom the city on account of his health, which has been so poor as to pre- clude his attendance upon the sessions of the Senate and the meetings of the commit- tee during the greater part of the present Congress. It is thought probable that it may be necessary to votain @ substitute for him. Senator McPherson is at Aiken, 8. C. He went urst to Florida, but found that his bronchitis was so affected that it was nec- essary to, seek a aryer climate, Senator Vance is in Florida. ——_—__-e-—_—_— The Tariff on Wines.

From the New ork Times. “Fudges,” a chocolate sweetie that is a cross between a bon bon and a cakelet, are very dear to the soul of a Vassar girl. “Fudge” parties are common in that well- known institution, and there is a dark sus- Picion that the moral sense of a “freshie”— only a freshie, let us hope—is blunted when the ways and means to provide materials for an impromptu “fudge” are being con- sidered. Cnocoiate and sugar, the two prin- cipal ingredients, can be kept on hand, but milk and butter, which are also needed, are perishable articles and have to be provided on the instant. But @ Vassar freshman knows a thing or two, even if she has not been at college very long. And if she is sud- denly attacked an hour after supper with pangs of hunger, of course she must go down to the refectory and beg for a glass of milk and a piece of pread and butter to mitigate her distress. And lly, of course, the sympathetic head of it department was never known 10 refuse so natural a re- quest. Two or three hungry (7) giris are all tnat are needed for a sizable party, and if the bread is discarded and only the milk and butter utilized, why, Vassar dormitories tell no tales, and “‘fudges” are too good to be lightly dispensed with.

Stocks would then be accumulated and held for specula- tion, the government reaping an irregular revenue and the speculators making all the gains. it must be recognized that there are no laws and no customs regulations which ef- tectually distirguish between pure wines and artificial compounds in imitation of wines. Artificial wines are compounds of alcohol, which is the chief element of value in their makeup. The competition between artificial and natural wines is chiefly re- strained by the cost of alcohol. A high in- ternal revenue tax favors pure wines. A specific tax on foreign wines checks the in- troduction of such compounds if the rate is based on alcoholic strength. With reference to artificial wines, it is in- consistent to have a specific tax on alcohol for internal revenue and an ad valorem tax on mixtures of alcohol called wines of foreign origin. An artificial mixture of foreign alcohol of 25 per cent absolute strength is equal to one-half the proof of distilled liquors, which are to be taxed for internal revenue purposes $1 per gallon and for importation $1.80. If made in our own country such a compound would pay a revenue of 50 cents per gallon; if admitted from foreign countries under an ad valorem tariff it would pay a revenue of not more than from 10 to 15 cents. It is plain, there- fore, that an illegitimate trade would spring up under an ad valorem tariff that would evade the internal revenue and demoralize legitimate industry. To prevent such a con- fiict it is necessary that a specific tax should be levied by the tariff on all pro- ducts ‘containing alcohol at least equal to the rate fixed for the internal revenue. Fortified wines and compounds masquer- ading as wines containing 25 per cent of alcohol are half as strong as distilled spirits at proof, and should pay at least 50 cents, whether an ad valorem rate be added to such minimum specific rate or not. Natural or unfortified wines, such as clarets, Burgundies, Sauternes, ete., vary in strength. The French government fix the highest limit at 14 per cent. The Brit- ish at almost 13. Following the same rea- soning as with fortified wines, such wines should not be taxed in the tariff less than the internal revenue rate on the highest de- gree of alcoholic strength. A rate of 30 cents for stilf wines 14 per cent or less and 50 cents for fortified wines would prevent unfair advantages to the foreign trade and illegitimate traffic. Un- der an ad valorem tariff large quantities of Hamburg sherries or similar compounds of diluted alcohol, slightly flavored to give the mere semblance of wine, could be imported to stretch whiskies and brandies for the Purpose of evading a portion of the in- oe nN stipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and derangements of the liver, stomach, and bowels are prevented, relieved, and perma- nently cured.
