This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that arc loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A V Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles, Glycerine, and Soap"—the only ono to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their "BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme transparency of pure Paraffin() ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke acrd smell ; their good old-fashioned " B ELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only peifect burning without caring for transparency; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLI DIFIE I) GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr ps of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and whin this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison. with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be used. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very best Night Lights ma d e .

THE JAPANESE PRINCE. The Japanese Prince, Tokugawa Mimbutaiho, who arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday, from London, on a visit to the port and arsenal, made a long inspection yesterday of the ships of war in the harbour and of the dockyard. The Priace, accompanied by Major Edwards, R.E., and M. von Siebold, interpreter, and attended by his suite, arrived at the dockyard entrance shortly before 11 a.m., where he was received by Admirals Sir T. Pasley and G. G. Wellesley, C. 8., Flag-Captain Hon. F. B. Seymour, C.B A.D.C. to the Queen ; Flag-Lieut. Boger, and other officers the Japanese standard being at the same time run up at the main royal masthead of the Port Admi ral's flagship, under Royal salutes from her ➢ia jesty's ships Victory, Duke of Wellington, and St. Vincent. The Serapis screw Indian troopship, Capt. Soady, was the first object selected in the yard for the Prince's inspection. The magnificent proportions of this noble troop transport, and the luxurious completeness of all her fittings, were highly appreciated. On leaving the Seraphs the Prince proceeded to the King's:ttairs of the dock yard, where, with Admiral Pasley and the attendant officers, he embarked in the Victory's barge and was conveyed on board the Royal Sovereign turret-ship, at her moorings up the harbour. Some time was spent on board this vessel in exhihitiug to the Prince the mode of working the guns and turrets iu action. The third turret was manned and revolved to diffe rent angles of fire with bulwarks.down, the loading motions (in blank of course) and all parts of the drill being gone through. On leaving the Royal Sovereign the Prince was conveyed on board the gunnery ships Excellent an 1 Calcutta, C.Aptain A. C. 8., and here a stay was made of consider ably upwards of an hour, the Prince exhibiting much interest as the various description of ship's ordnance, from the 12-tog rifle on its costly iron carriage and slide, down to the latest converted Palliser," were explained to him by the offiers of the gunnery establishment. Batteries were manned, and heavy guns were whirled about in drill to the word of command in a wonderful and thoroughly excellent manner. Some very effective shell firing was made from the port broadside of the Excellent at 1,200 yards range, in independent firing and in volleys. In all cases the shells burst beautifully right on the faces of the targets. The shells fired in volleys from the big guns burst in clusters with grand effect, sending up a vast cloud of gas, which glittered and changed in prismatic hues under the rays of a bright sun. A few rockets fired at a target of 1,000 yards range with some shots from light guns—in both cases from light rafts moored under the ship's bows, and a small torpedo experi ment brought the Prince's visit to the Excellent's gunnery establishment to a close. On leaving the Excellent the Prince again lauded at the King's Stairs, and proceeded to the Admiralty House, the official residence of Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley, where he partook of luncheon. After luncheon the Prince, accompanied by the same officials as during the forenoon, made a tour of the dockyard, and went . on board the armour plated hydraulic propelled gun vessel Waterwitch, Commander P. Sharp, now under repairs in the ship basin ; the armour-plated iron turret-ship Scorpion, preparing for commission, and other vessels; afterwards visiting the woodtnills, where Brunel's wonderful block -making machinery was seen at work in all its marvellous efficiency and ac curacy of motion. The steam factory with its noble collection of machinery was visited, and thence to the armour-plate workshop was but a natural seq uence. Here, with huge armour-plates gripped by machines of immense power and novel form, the whole process of drilling, bending, and otherwise preparing the armour plates for the sides of our ships of war was fully illustrated and explained by the aid of Major Edwards and M. You Siebold. From the armour-plate shop a walk round the north side of the steam basin gave a view of her Majesty's yacht Osborne clearing out for further survey and repairs, of several gunboats now preparing for com mission, and of the iron frigate Hector, 800-horse power, in dock, and being brought forward also for commission. The last part of the dockyard visited by the Prince was the great iron foundry, and there he stayed sufficiently long to see several lots of molten iron drawn off from the cupola furnaces and poured into a row of large moulds, which stood in readiness for the operation. On leaving the Serapis and the Excellent, and on several other occasions through the day, the Prince expressed, through M. von Siebold, his gratification at the courtesy and attention shown to him. It may also be observed here that every official who came in personal contact with the young Prince on board any of the ships or in the workshops of the yard was much impressed by his evident keen intel • ligence, and the shrewdness and pertinence of the many inquiries made by him through his interpreter. From the dockyard, after taking leave of Admi rals Sir Thomas Pasley and I'Vellesley, the Prince returned to his hotel at Southsea. The Fire Queen, steam yacht, Staff Commander Paul, is ordered to have her steam up in P or t smout h harbour by 9 .a.m. to-day for the service of the Prince, if required. It was, however, understood to be quite uncertain whether he would embark this morning on board- the , Fire Queen, probably for a short visit to Southampton - -water, visit the camp at Aldershott, or return direct to London. [ADVERTISEMENT:I—HoIIoway's Pills are decidedly the best remedy for all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the liver and kidneys. They act with so decided an effect, and yet so gently, that people of the most delicate consti tutions may take them with the most perfect confidence. They do not contain a single grain of mercury or other noxious substance, being composed exclusively of rare bal sams. They are therefore equally safe and efficacious, and as a: family medicine nothing yet invented or discovered can be compared with them for a moment. With these inestimable Pills at hand, together with the printed direc tions affixed to each box, no other medical advice or as sistance can be needed in ay ordinary case ofgallium The adjourned inquest on the surtercrs by the above disastrous explosion w is resum .ed at the New Inn, Dentyprill, yesterday. :Mr. migh, G,vern ment inspector of mines of the so. th-w estern dis trict, was present, in ace Rdance with nstructioas from the Secretary of State, who desp.dched him to the scene of the catastrophe as soon as he had re ceived official in telligmce of the disaptas , . Mr. Wales, the Government inspector of mine; for the South Wales district, was also present. t( watch the pro ceedings on behalf of Government. Two delegates from the National Mining Association of the North of England were also in attendance to represent the widows and orphans of the deceased mea. The first witness examined was William Walters, the only overman employed in. the pit, where he had been for about three years. His duty was to visit the pit the first thing in the morning, and to remain there until the men arrived to work. He had always a fireman with him in the pit. There were three day firemen, and one night fireman. The firemen had to report to him the state of the pit. He always saw the night firemen every morn ing in going: down the pit about six o'clock. Ile believed that Mr. .Williams, the manager, kept a register of the men who worked is the pit. About 300 were generally employed. Some 30, 40, or 53 . were engaged at work during the night. The witness proceeded at great length to explain technical details in re gard to the pit. Some admissions mlde by the wit ness caused great surprise. In reply to the coroner he admitted, after considerable hesitation, that he did not know what a thernforneter or barometer was. He believed that the deceased manager had an anemometer, or at any rate something like a box. The coroner endeavoured to explain to the wit ness the nature of these instruments. The over- imitted that he never saw anything like a weatherglass in the pit. The witness explained the reason why he had not been in the colliery on the fatal day. He was unwell, some days confined to his bed and under medical treatment. He lived near the pit and heard the two explosions, and rushed to the mouth of the pit immediately, and ordered the engine man to work the carriage up and down, so as to move the air. He ordered the fan to be opened so as to facilitate the descent. The explosions resembled the report of thunder. lie was so horrified at the time that he could not give a minute account of what he did or said on the occasion. On the Tuesday that he was ill one of the firemen did report to him that there was an accumu lation of gas in some portions of the pit, and wit ness pointed out in the plans of the colliery the headings to which he referred. He had found that a " blower" or large escape of gas had occurred about seven days previous to the accident on the north side of the Rhondda district. 'Water had accumulated in some portions of the pit to a depth of 18in. He took measures to drain away the water. Thomas James, one of the firemen, had reported the presence of gas in the places I which the witness indicated on the map—No 8 heading, Dutfryn branch of the workings. The gas had accumulated in consequence of a fall in the air way, which caused the air to be partially obstructed. The place was cleared in three or four days. Ile hid not observed any gas since. The defect was remedied as soon as possible. He got rid of the gas by " screening" the air. That was done by opening one canvas door and shutting another. The Coroner here remarked that he considered experiments of that kind very risky. The witness stated that he had done so in other pits with success. He felt assured that there was no danw.r in doing so. Ile had seen gas iu some of the h..adings about four or five weeks before the explosion. The witness proceeded to describe all the " blowers" that he had seen in the pit. The remainder of the evidence referred to the presence of gas in the pit on various occasions. The witness insisted that the ventilation was generally good, and that no complaints bad been made of any defeets iu that respect. The inquest will be resumed this day. w•-• :et w ^ o on ei.2 ...3. ... .c... til 0 ~.,,i r• H F'. EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION. The friends and promoters of the East London Early Closing Movement met l as t evening at the Beaumont Institution, for the purpose of making a demonstration in favour of the above excellent pur pose. The proceedings consisted, as is usual on these occasions, partly of speeches and partly of music, the latter portion of the entertainment being pro-:" vided by a choir of a hundred voices, under the direction of Mr. Jules Benedict. The hall was well occupied by friends of the movement, which deserves the best encouragement from all who are interested in the welfare of a large class of the population. The chair was taken by Mr. C. 11.)ed, F.S.A., and he was supported, among others, by the follow- . ing gentlemen :—Mr. Walker, Captain Campbell, Rev. M. Kennedy, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Hamilton, &c. Letters of regret at unavoidable absence were read from Messrs. Cohen, Venables, Ealaud, Clay ton, Lonsdale, &c. The Local Secretary (Mr. Wall) read a statement of the proceedings during the week, which showed in reference to the present statement of the move ment in the East-end of London, that the committee had to deplore a retrogression on the part of some of the drapery establishments in the Commvrcial road, owing to the withdrawal by one of the firms from arrangements entered into in the spring of last year, for closing on Saturday at seven instead of nine o'clock. The committee had spared no pains to obtain the revival of the original understanding, and they thought it right to state that, in spite of the defection referred to, two of the large drapery firms—Messrs. J. Crane and Co. and Messrs. Bur dett and Ealand—had liberally maintained their promise of closing at five o'clock on Saturdays. With the exception of the woollen-drapers and the leading ironmongers, who close at seven o'clock, the following are the earliest hours of closing at the present season in the various trades in the Commercial and Mile-end-roads. The leading linen drapers close at eight (and one firm, Messrs. Yen ables and Sons, at seven) ; grocers at nine, cheese mongers at nine, hosiers at half-past nine, boot makers from nine to half-past nine, hatters at nine. Amongst the later closing houses are some of the drapery establishments, which remain open till be tween nine and ten o'clock. In summer the hours are still later, extending, in the largest and most favoured establishments, to later than nine o'clock. the actual hour of release for the assistants being nearly ten o'clock. On Saturdays Messrs..Venablea close at two o'clock, and the other houses at three. The leading ironmongers of Whitechapel close at six; one of the leading linen Irapers in S!ioreditch at four, and one in Whitechapel at five ;" two in the Commercial-road at seven, other establishments at eight. In other trades the hours are eleven and twelve. It is found that the late hours prevailing in Whitechapel and Mile-end are found to seriously retard the movement i❑ the Commercial-road, and much yet remains to be done. The importance of the object in view will be understood when we say that in the east of London there are 3,000 assistants of both sexes in conncctiou with the retail trades, wh3 get released on an average at half past. nine o'clock, on ordinary nights, while about two-thirds of that number *are really at leisure at the average hour of eleven o'clock on Saturday nights, and of these the young women are the greater sufferers, as in such case they are the later of the two, being in many instances not able to retire at the end of the week till one.o'elock on Sunday morning. The object of the association is to secure the closing of the prin cipal shops at seven in the winter and eight o'clock in the sunainer ; and they earnestly appeal to the public to support the movement by abstaining from shopping after the hours named.

A CONSTITUTIOATALIS7'S COMPLAINT. Mr. Newdegate, M.P., responding to the toast in honour of an worwiegsnire at the Rugby and Dunchurch Conservative Associa tion yesterday, discarded the title Conservative, since it nowadays involved he knew not what, and styled himself a Constitutionalist. He was a Pittite, too, and justified his vote in favour of the Reform Act of last Session, because its best part—the dis franchisement of peccant boroughs —was based upon a principle laid down by Pitt and Chatham ; but he complained that a reduction of the franchise in boroughs to household suffrage was a sad falling away from the principles of those two Constitutional statesmen, especially because no compensation was at the same time given to the upper and middle classes for their loss of political influence. Ile re gretted that the Constitutional cause had lost a scat by the defeat of Mr. Pell, and he regretted this the more because the loss might have been prevented by better management. Mr. Pell at first declared him self a supporter of Mr. Disraeli, and this told against him, because a feeling prevailed in South Leicester shire that Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli had dealt very short measure to the counties. Then, when it was too late, Mr. Pell announced that he was a friend of the Church and a Protestant, but that he also desired to seethe differences between Protestants ' and Dissenters healed. That was a very proper ' sentiment, but Mr. Pell should have published it earlier with appropriate clearness, for " when a man is in a fight the first thing be has to do is to throw his hat into the ring, and then either folio wit up or tell his second to fling up the spunge." If a candidate hoped to succeed he should not offer himself merely as an adherent of one poli tician or another, but state his opinions clearly, and stand by them. He had acted for nine or ten years on the principle Mr. Pell had adopted, un fortunately, too late; during that time he had tried to persuade Mr. Disraeli to endorse his proposal to make church-rates into a charge upon property, similar to the property-tax, and to place the pro duce at the disposal of the vestries ; but he com plained that Mr. Disraeli had always dis countenanced his proposals, and, although he did not vote against him, he systematically cleared the house when the matter was brought forward. The concluding topic touched on by Mr. Newdegate was Lord Russell's educational propositions, which had " nearly paralysed the House of Lords," and seemed to be put forth as the sequence of the great revolutionary change introduced by the Reform Act. Believing with Hooker that education was one thing and instruction another, lie objected to Lord Russell's resolutions; he desired to educate the people by strengthening their intellectual and moral faculties, while Lord Russell only sought to give them tools wherewith to work. As a test of the Irish system of national education, be asked how many Irish schoolmasters had been tried for Fenianism, and declared that the Prussian school masters were the nlost active of the revolutionists of 1848. A BRAVE LAD.--During the recent hurricane th.i brig Miner,y, ,of And front Sunderland for Dieppe, was wiccked. Ta'nfaSter and five- men took" to tote, but, unfortunately as it then seemed, they were unable to bring off a lad named Thomas Dudgeon, an apprentice, the rope attaching the boat to the vessel breaking and carrying the frail craft into the roadstead. The brig drifted into the broken water on the Scroby Sands, but being in ballast she drove right over the dangerous shoals, and Dudgeon, despite the fearful gale which raged, contrived to loosen the foresail, and . by constant perseve rance and unremitting attention he brought the briE safely Of the Tercel The Pont concurs in a widely-spreading belief that the necessary power should be conferred on the coroner by Act of Parliament, that in no case should a fire b. , 3 adowed to pass without a full and complete inquiry into its origin, and that no claim should be settled by any insurance company without the production of a certificate shewing the result of the investigation. On the Continent, and in Australia and America, inquiries of this kind are held in every instance, and the result has been to " reduce the number" of fires, a fact which furnishes the best possible argmnent for the adoption of a similar course in this country. There is another growing danger of a different kind in the increased traffic in explosive and inflammable merchandise. Something has already been done to diminish the risk arising from these, but further legislation app ar to be required on this point also, especially with regard to the storing of petroleum, turpentine, nitro-g - !yeerine, and such like dangerous substances. All ti es r 1 .tters require treatment at as early a period as possible. In the opinion of the Daily Hors, the immediate canoe of the Lambeth Conference, in which Pau-Angli canism has found its highest expression, was the dis satisfaction felt in some quarters with the deci cisions of the ecclesiastical tribunals, and especially those of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, in cases involving points ( f doctrine. It was therefore resolved to set up a body capable of neutralising by its utterances such judgments as Lord Westbury pronounced in the case of the " Bishop of Salisbury v. Wilson." The Judicial Com mittee could neither be attacked in front nor subverted; but it seems to have been thought that what was known in the American civil war as the "anaconda system" might be ap plied to it. If the Pan-Anglican plan can be carried out, the lay judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts may sit and decide whether this or that clerk has forfeited his benefice in the English Establishment, but the doctrine of the whole Anglican communion will be laid down by " spiritual" persons of the highest order of the hierarchy, gathered from all parts of the earth, and sitting in a council or synod. As far as moral or doctrinal authority is con cerned, the Ecclesiastical Courts will be crushed in the ample folds which the bishops are already preparing to wind round them. The ecclesiastical judgments of the Privy Council may be more or less objectionable from a doctrinal point of view, but the bishops are not on that account entitled to constitute themselves a grand council for the government of the Church, and still less to bring in strangers to meddle in the affairs of a national institu tion. The Standard approves or the action or the Mayor of Liverpool in interdicting the projected Fenian procession in that borough, and has a good word to say for Dr. Goss, the Roman Catholic bishop, who has warned his flock against joining in such a demonstration. It does not think there is much danger that after this exhortation from the bishop, and the precautions taken by the authorities , any at tempt will be made to form the procession. Its authors have been very slow in determining upon it, and they will pro. bably be glad to have an excuse for abandoning a project about the success of which they had evidently considerable‘ misgivings. A similar proceeding is threatened by the Fenian sympathisers in Glasgow for Sunday, and there, too, the Orangemen have announced their intention to make a counter-demonstration. Large as is the Irish Catholic population of Glasgow, the Fenians would stiffer the same discomfiture there as they would in Liverpool. At all events, there will certainly be a riot if the proces sion is permitted, and we trust, therefore, the magistrates of Glasgow will do as the magistrates of Liverpool have done, and preserve the peace of the town by prohibiting the procession. This, the stock topic of M.P.'s during the recess, is tno subject of a leader in the Telegraph. No doubt, it observe; the machinery for instructing the people is inadequate ; but the results would be far different from what they are if the endowments were rigidly applied, and if the educa , tional system were adapted to the popular wants. Indeed. some districts which are scandalously ignorant have "lots of schools," even as in the Government offices there are " lots of forms." Seeing the sorry result, some people clamour for inquiries into modes of education and educational statistics ; bnt the shelves of our public libraries and our club reading-rooms are cuirassed with educational blue-books. We have been inquiring and heaping up statistics for fifty years; numbers of clergymen and barristers of seven years' standing, who have been appointed educational inspectors, go forth periodically and furnish reports full of mild remarks, that in the county of Merionethshire the children of such and such a school all answered readily to inquiries about the number of the Beast, and that in West Somerset the readiness with which the pupils at another school spelt the name " Jehosh aphat " was quite charming. And so we go on, and so we shall go on, until Lord Russell's " Coming Man," the Minister of Education—a Minister with a capacity, a power, and a will— shall arrive. Let it, urges the Star, be adopted as a principle by the enemies of the Irish Establishment that they will not even discuss this vexatious and superfluous question, but will insist upon the disendowrnent pure and simple, with out reference to petty difficulties, which may safely be left to remove themselves. This resolution would be the best earnest of speedy victory, and we trust the country at large will thoroughly appreciate and retain in mind Mr. Miall's remark in closing the London Conference, that the man who raises at this juncture the question how the property of the Church is to be made use of is either st staunch friend of the Establishment or a very lukewarni advocate of its abolition. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN SCOTLAND The Northern Evening Express reports two very destrne‘ 44v. ;„ g~.+l.—a 11- Wednesday morning_a fire broke out in the woollen manufacturing works of Messrs. Dickson and Laing's, Hawick, which speedily resulted in the destruction of property to the extent of at least £lO,OOO. Shortly after twelve o'clock on Thursday morning, a fire broke out in the old mill at the jute factory of Messrs. Mather and Chalmers, East Milnes-lane, Dundee. The building. which was filled with jute, yarn, and machinery, was totally destroyed. The damage is estimated at £15,000. Two hundred persons will be thrown idle. The rest of the factory is saved. The loss is covered by insurance with the Northern, and London, Liverpool, and Globe office 6„ POACHING AND MURDER. According to the She f field Independent, a desperate, encounter took place on Wednesday night near Pilley-.4 a village situate nine miles from Sheffield and five from Barnsley—between a gang of poachers and a party .of gamekeepers in the service of Lord Wharncliffe, of Wort. ley Hall. The conflict resulted in the murder of on* of the keepers and the injury of another. Between nin and ten o'clock, when it was moonlight, while two of his lordship's watchers, named Thomas Mayes and Thomas Oram, were on duty in a wood near the village of Pilley, they detected a gang of five poachers, busily engaged setting nets. The poachers were armed, not only with guns but with bludgeons, and they were also accompanied by a dog. The watchers convinced that they " were unable cope with so formidable-looking a gang, sent, before discovering themselves, for his lord. ship's head keeper, Mr. Thirkell. He promptly responded to the call, and came to the assistance of his men. No sooner did the keepers discover themselves than than they were attacked by the poachers, and a short but murderous encounter folluwed. Mr. Thirkell attempted to seize one of the poachers, and while struggling with him another of the gang seized a gun, and at a distance of about four yards took aim and fired at him. The charge entered his abdomen,' and he fell and died almost immediately. He was not even heard to speak after being shot. With the murder of Thirkell the affray terminated, and the poachers, abandoning their nets, hastily made off in the direction of Thorpe Hesley. They also left behind them a hat and a walking-stick, but they took with them the gamekeeper's gun. POLLUTION OF RIVERS COMMISSION.—This com mission, under the presidency of Mr. E. Rawlinson, C. 8., is now proceeding with a personal inspection of rivers, in the vicinity of Liverpool and Manchester, preparatory to the examination of witnesses. By this means it is antics. pated that time will be saved in the examination of wit nesses that the commissioners may call before them, and that they will be able to submit their report to Parliament shortly after its reassembling in February. THE ALABAMA CLAIM3.—The Alabama claims aro soon to come up both in Congress and in Parliament. We earnestly beg that some kind of settlement may speedily be made. The greatest obstacle to a mutual understand. ing is the factiousness of a party which tries to nurse a cause for war with Great Britain, and hopes sonic day to use these unsettled claims as a convenient pretext. The two Governments are so nearly agreed now that it seems hardly possible to avoid disposing of the matter, unless there is a want of good faith on one side or the other.— Nee: York Tribune, Nov. 30. THE AMERICAN PEDESTRIAN FIAT.---Edward Payson Weston, the pedestrian, arrived at Chicago at 10 a.ni. on the 25th of November, having ac complished the feat of walking from Portland, 1,2371' Miles, to Chicago in 2G walking d a y s .

'NV - atoll failed in all his attempts to walk 100 miles in 24 hours,- and on the last occasion made SG miles in 21 hours 15 minutes. The stakes were 10,000 dollars a side for the feat, but Weston loses six-tenths for not having walked the 100 miles, and there. fore gets but 4,000 dollars.
