FUEL.

The question of fuel is one which
deeply interests the manufacturers of
salt on Saginaw River. and should
call forth combination Of effort in
the endeavor TO secure, if possible,
a reduction from present prices. In
New York this was effected some
years since by the introduction of
blocks worked with coal, during the
year 1860 one third Of the fine salt
inspected having been thus manufac-
tured, and since that time the proper
ton of coal blocks has greatly in
creased. The effect of the introduc-
ton of coal upon the wood market is
thus stated in the Annual Report of
the Superintendent of tho Onondaga
Salt Springs to the Legislature of
1861. "This species Of fuel is fur
'nished at remarkably low rates, at
''the salt works, the price averaging
"pearly SO per ton. The price of coal
controls the wood market; the best
qualities of hard wood selling for
$3.50, at tho highest. Within few
"years it brought five, and even six
'dollars per cord. All apprehen-
"sions formerly existing, that the
scarcity and enormous prices of wood
"would ultimately restrict the manu-
fracture of salt, have been dissipated
''by the completion Of the public
''worlss connectiinr the coat coat mines of
pennsylvania"
The Introduction Of coal into this
sectionis unquestionably impracticable
unless future developments should
result in the discovery of supply
near at hand, a result neither impos-
sible nor improbable in view of the
indications on Cass River and else
where in the vieinity-but leaving
coal out of the question, an intelli-
gent, careful investigation as to the
best mode of enconomising fuel, the
relative value of the different qualities
used, the best means for making
available the refuse from mills, single
and barrel works, and the most eff
fective plan for SO systematizing the
fuel business, as to guard against un-
fairness and extortion on the part of
operatives and others, would no doubt
prove advantageous to the salt interest
of the Valley. That the main interest
should be clogged and hampered as it
is byinterests only collateral, is neither
just nor judicious, and some plan
should be devised whereby its newt
able necessities may be better and
more economically answered.

The following table shows the receipts Of salt
for seven years;
Receipts Of saH for screen years;

The great increase in our salt trade Is due
partly to the superior facilities we possess for
cevng il by lake aud transporting II by our canal
and railways, and partly To the increasing pop
ularity OF Syracuse salt In early years the
idea was prevalent all over the West, that Syra-
cuse was good for domestic ue, but that for
hacking purposes nothing but foreign salt would
answer The inproy ement Of New York salt TO
the tests which have been applied, has graduall
removed this old prejudice The New York
packers of beef and pork were the first 10 mike
the trial, and since then the packers OF the
West have followed their example Packers had
long contended that for putting up beef, solar
salt was much preferable 10 the foreign; and IN
the discussion which arose In New York papers
ON this subject g. S. Hubbard, Of this city, testi-
fed that IL was preferable to the foreign salt for
beef, but admitted that on account OF color 1t
was not 80 good for pork. Since then, however
the packers in the West have tried it both in
beef and pork with the most satisfactory re suits
Messrs Cragin A Co, and X NJ. o. s. Hough,
in u certificate dated August IL, 1858, say
eve have used in packing beef and pork
coarse Syracuse, or solar SALT which we find OF
good properties for curing provisions, and, be-
yond doubt, is equal in quality to any salt in use
for curing purposes"
@. 5. Hubbard a Co., also, in the following
language, in communication on Syracuse coarse
salt:
"This coming season we shall use II for both
beef and pork, ana do not hesitate to recommend
it to our brother packers"

General Terry.
[FsolD the St. Louis Republican ]

[Fsoia The ST. Louis Republican
A good many people will DO inter
ested to know something about the
man who did that which General But
Ter couldn't, and accordingly we give
a brief sketch of his career.
Alfred Howe Terry wasborn on the
10th of November, 1897, and is there
fore but little more than thirty-seven
years of age. Hartford, Connecticut,
is his native place. He was educated
in New Haven, and adopted tho pro-
fession of law, the practico of which
he began in 1913. In 1854 he be-
came county clerk in New Haven,
serving six years, when he resigned
and travelled few months in Europe.
When tho military laws Of Connecti-
cut were revised, in 1854, he was CONF
missioned as Colonel of the I'd militia
regiment. Colonel Terry offered his
services to tho Governor Of his State
on the breaking out Of the rebellion.
He was Colonel of a Connecticut regi-
ment Of three months men at the bat
tie of Bull Run, bringing up the rear
in the retreat In the report of Gen.
Reyes to Gen. Mcdowell we find his
services particularly acknowledged. =
On the expiration Of the three months,
he raised the 7th Connecticut regiment
for three years, and left New Haven
Sept. IL, 1861, and was attached to
the Port Royal expedition of Gen. /.
w. Sherman. His rogir emit was de-
tailed to occupy the captured fort on
Hilton Head during the winter, and
great portion of the labor w VIA II re-.
suited, in thf frf Pulaski % sss' performed
by the men under Col. Terry's COM
mand. To this regiment, therefore,
was assigned the honor Of occupying
the fort after its surrender. lie was
promoted to be Brigadier General Of
volunteers, March -, 1862, and dur
ing the summer had command Of tho
posts and forts on the Atlantic coast
of Florida. Io commanded a brig
ade In the battle of Pocotaligo, and
has since been conspicuous in various
engagements and affairs. He ranks
now as a Brevet Major General

Salt Trade 9. ca;oaeo.

The following account Of the salt trade Of
Chicago is extracted from n review Of the COM
merce of that city for the year 1853, published
in the Press and Tribune, Jan. ], 1881
SALT.
Few Of our readers are aware Of the impor-
lance which the salt trade of Chicago has as
sumed during tho past few years. Quietly, yet
surely, has IL grown up 10 the rank of one of the
foremost aud most extensive branches of our COM
merce.
Of the early history Of the salt trade we have
been able TO CLEAN few facts, which may in
terest and at the same time inform the public.
Until within few years, the feeling was strongly
in favor Of foreign salt, and the whole valley Of
the Mississippi was supplied chiefly from st.
Louis. Even es late tho year 1853, 1921
bushels of salt were received in this city by tho
Illinois and Michigan canal Previous TO this
we had received some foreign salt by way of the
lakes. In lS4s, cargo of foreign salt was re-
ceived, by n small schooner IRON Canada, which
was sold Mt 80 cents TO so cents per bushel.-
Since then, several cargoes have, from time TO
time, been brought TO this city, sometimes as
ballast and sometimes nj low rate Of freight,
rather than take in ballast
Previous TO this however, Syracuse salt, which
was then acknowledged to be the best for domes-
tic use, had been received at this port. Among
the old books and papers Of tho firm Of Messrs.
Nevberry and Dole, we find that the schooner
Austerlitz brought to this port 100 barrels coarse
and l20 barrels fine salt from Detroit The fol-
lowing is a copy Of the bill for the same:
Detroit, 10, 1892.
Chicago store; Bought Of o. Newberry-
100 bbls. coarse SALT at. .............. 50 90
100 bbis fine salt, at.................. 2 6sf
Above is the price Of salt delivered. You will
deliver Mr. Owen 80 barrels of salt, for which he
will pay you 80. Deliver Mr. Joseph Bailey two
barrels Of salt. Charge him 81 and freight.
D. NEwBERRY.
We also find another bill for al barrels fine
salt sent from Detroit to Chicagolby the schooner
Napoleon, on Nov. ~, 1882. The price Of the
salt was $242.

salt given to the Indians, on account Of the

not be familiar 70 many Of our readers, but 10
some Of tho ''old settlers they we're we'll known;

THE BORDER PASSPORT SYSTEM The
Cincinnati Gazette administration
says "that for furnishing any protec-
ton against incursions, the passport
system is absurd. The whole frontier
is open, and it is stated that new fer
ries are doing a thriving business in
carrying those who turn aside to avoid
the hindrances and the exactops Of
our consuls at the usual crossing
places. And once among our popula-
ton, who is going TO demand their
passport, or find that they need one ?
The system has imposed great annoy
ance on the unoifending, and has done
nothing to obstruct offenders and it
has furnished means Of extorting I'M
reasonable fees. We wait to see the
good of il begin to operate"
