Ben Wade, at a public dinner party, in
San francisco, insulted Mr.. McCoppen,
Mayor of that city, an Irishman. Wade
sat beside the Mayor in the course of
conversation the subject of Chinese unmi-
grafton and suffrage coming up. after his
coarse fashion he 5lurted out to the gen.
tlemen on the Mayors right: swell,
why shouldn't the Chinese come here and
have all the rights and privileges They
are ID sight better than the Irish y
All the comment we have to make on this
lis, that Mayor McCoppen deserved all he
got fer lowering himself SO much as to
entertain such an old ruffain as Wade,
though, through some dire calamity he
once sat in the United States Senate

THE RESULTS Of THE RIVER GRAIN TRADE,

In an article showing the increase in
the river grain trade, the St. Louis
TINES says that the receipts of wheat
at St. Louis for the month of July
1868, were 365, 16s bushels. For the
month ending July 31st, they have
been 526,OS1, showing an increase
over last year of 16O, 913 bushels. The
receipts from January LIST to Angus,
1st, 1868, were 1,530,766 bushels
From January LIST to August LIST, 1869
they have been 2,506,217 bushels,
again showing an increase of over
100000 bushels over the correspond.
ing period last year. These figures
possess peculiar and unusual signif-
canoe just at the present time. They
convey to the public mind more clearly
than mere words could do an idea Of
the operations of the grain association.
and the legitimate fruits of the concert
ed effort to divert the cereals of the
northwest from the lakes and canals to
the great natural route by the Missis-
sippi. While the grain association has
handled but comparatively a small por-
ton of these receipts, and less, perhaps,
than was expected of them, yet to the
influences they have brought to bear
throughout the producing regions as
well as upon the market must undobt-
edly be ascribed in very large meas
ure the enhancement of receipts, and
consequently of trade, which has at
tended, if it has not been occasioned by
it's organization. The most sanguine
expectations of those who were the
projectors of the association scarcely
looked forward to more than the doub-
ling of receipts during the first season
of it's operations. This we have seen
accomplished, or very nearly so, as the
figures we have presented will show.
Through the agency of the grain as
ISOLATION St. Louis has simply been ad-
vertised, and the result which never
fails to follow like enterprise in private
business has, in this instance, attended
the community at large. The lesson
herein conveyed is one well worthy the
consideration Of every business man.

Free Trade.

Free lTaues
The citizens of Milwaukee favorable to
the principle of Free Trade, have just
established a "Free Trade League in that
city. Mr.. Sufferns. of New York, said
that the American Free Trade League of
New York city embraced gentlemen of
both political parties, and that they had
already distributed a vast amount ofinfor-
nation among the people by means of
tracts, speeches, documents, and newspa-
per articles in the free trade interest,"
But this association, no longer able to
meet the demands made upon it in that
way, now looked to the west for co>opera-
ton and assistance. 1t was important
that free trade leagues should be organized
everywhere, and Milwaukee being the
metropolis of the State, was naturally
looked to for the initiative step in the
movement.
d. w. Maxon, of Washington county,
said that a free trade club had been in ex'
istence some time in the vicinity of his
residence,and it was gaining accessions
continually from men of all political opin-
ions. He said there was scarcely man
to be found in the party who did not endorse
the essential features of the free trade
league. He was opposed to tariff for
any purpose whatever, but would waive
his objection somewhat, and be cortented
with repeal of high protective tariff.

CANNING SWEET CoRN-Mrs. Zena
A. Lindsey writes to the New York
Farmers club that corn can be canned
so that it will stay canned in the follow
ing way: Boil the corn Is minutes on
the cob and then cut it off and dry in
the sun. The corn should then be
seasoned to the taste with salt, and put
into the cans with very little water.
The covers must then be placed on the
cans, leaving only very small aperture
for the escape of gas; then place the
cans in kettle of water and boil slow
ly three quarters of an hour, when the
can may be sealed with a drop of solder
or even little putty. Corn preserved
in this way will always keep as long as
it is necessary to keep it and there is no
danger of bursting the cans.

Mrs. Kate Hobbs, wife of DR.. A!vah
Hobbs, of l26 Washington street, Boston,
was shot dead by Major Thomas L. White,
at about half-ras ten on Tuesday night,
in her own parlor, in the presence of her
husband and son. The murderer was
arrested at once, and yesterday morning
waived an examination. White had
loved Mrs. Hobbs for many years, and in
1861 attempted to stab her because she
had rejected his addresses. lie was then
sent to an Insane Asylum, but was after
wards discharged, when he entered the
army in the Ninth Massachusetts Regi-
ment, and received the rank of Major for
gallant and meritorious conduct. After
the close of the war he settled in the
South, and was delegate to the Chicago
Convention from Mississippi in 1868.
Recently he removed to Tennessee, where
he contracted lung disease, and few
weeks ago he returned to Boston to con-
suit his old medical adviser, DIR. Hobbs,
who took him into his house for treat
ment. Here his old passion was rekind,
led, and eliminated in the death of Mrs.
Hobbs. White is described as genteel
parsonage, about thirty years of age. He
came originally from Nova Scotia to Dos.
ton, where he studied law and was admit
ted to practice. His victim was thirty,
five years of age. She was highly re.
