The Cody Traffic.

A Cody was lately carried before a
Judge at Hong Kong, charged with muir
dering the captain and crew of a British
Cody ship, on board of which the defen-
dant, with others, was being transported
The Judge dismissed the complaint on
the ground that, by British law and
treaties, the Cody trade was identical
with the slave trade ; that those engaged
III 1t were, therefore, pirates, and that
the kidnapped Coolies are justified in
gaining their liberty at any ard, even
if it involved the sacrifice of life. If this
decision be sustained it may have good
effect. But the difficulty of the Cody
trade, which distinguishes it from the
African slave trade, is that each Cody
represents an emigrant, or is supposed
to do so. Most of them land all are sup
posed to- ship under an engagement,
against which there is no legal objection,
and which, if faithfully carried out, there
probably wodld not be much to com
plain of. But, unfortunately, this is not
so in all cases. In the guano islands of
the Pacific this is particularly the case
No attention is paid to the expiration of
the limit of servitude expressed in the |
agreement with the Cody, or as to the !
for hls labor. He is fed
badly and used harshly, until death re-
ieves the poor wretch from the engage
nent. Even if the Peruvian authorities,
who control the islands, felt disposed
which is probrbly doubtful--to interfere,
he poor Cody, working to death away
'ff III his seabound grave, has no means
If presenting his case to the tribunals.
We believe it is only in the dependencies
If the South American countries on the
'acitic that these outrages are practised
With impunity. In Demerara and other
British colonies, the trade is under legal
upervision, and the condition of the
)ooly is that of an ordinary laborer, and
lis rights are protected.

To DETECT THE ADULTEKATIoN OF TEA.
The simplest method is to burn the
tea and weigh the ashes. Any kind of
tea from the best quality down to the
most common must not leave over 8 per
cent. of ash; while those adulterated sorts
have actually given 30 to 45 per cent Of
ash, proving that at least 80 to 40 per
cent. of worthless or injurious stuff had
been added. If a pound of such tea
cost 81, it would contain from 60 to 40
cents worth Of tea and some six ounces
Of plaster, sold for about 9 cents per
ounce.

PRICES IN PARIS. Poor people can
not go to Paris now to live, everything
is SO costly there Never, for the past
quarter of a century has the cost of liv-
ing there been so excessive. The shop
keepers really add to the recognised
value of an article so much for the loss
of trade during the past year, Plus so
much more for the rent they owe and
the bills they have not yet taken up, JDius
again the composition money due TO
them for the agony of feeling they nave
endured during the seige of Paris, for
the time the Commune lasted, and for
the knowing that the Prussians aIe still
on the soil of France Put these differ
ent items together, and the result will
be that the consumer who buys his or
her dress, or furniture, or stationery, or
jewelry, or what not, in Paris, pays from
20 70 30 per cent more for the same az
ticle in Paris than it would cost in Lon
don. And the same rule, only ia larger
holds good as to eating,
and rent.

How TO DO IT The Chicago Tribune
has "A plan for settling the Mormon
troubles 1t says Politically, there
is no reason for continuing the terrific
rial organization of Utah. The terri
tory ought to be annexed to the state of
Nevada, which has now very small
population. The population of Utah
added to that of Nevada would give the
latter about enough to entitle her to one
representative in Congress. In the re-
organized state the Gentiles would have
a majority, and union of church and
state would be abolished Mormons
would be emancipated, particularly the
women, and then the fabric of Mormon
would fall"

The N. Y. Tribune gives Secrets-
ry Boutwell, generous praise for one
feature of his financial administration
his keeping his own integrity above re-
proach Of friend or foe. It differs
from him, however, on the subject of
the Treasury surplus. In twent y:one
months he has reduced the national
debt by little less than two hundred
millions. But had he converted all
his surplus above ten millions into
bonds within the first quarter Of his ad.
ninistration, and thenceforth kept the
Treasury as nearly empty as was con-
sistent with proper adjustment Of
every liability, the debt must have
been reduced hundred millions more.
The interest that has accrued on the
hundred millions that he might have
paid off at the outset must be nearly ten
millions the saving in the price Of the
bonds purchased could have been lit
tie less. Mr.. Boutwell, thinks specie
in the Treasury will hasten resumption
The Tribune thinks specie in thu
Treasury Is an obstacle to resumption

LIVELY TRAD1.- Notwithstanding the
usual dullness that follows the opening Of
the year, most Of our merchants are doing
lively business. We notice this specially
at the extensive hardware establishment Of
Messrs. G. F. &. W. Powell, who are daily
serving crowds Of customers. Starting in
the early days Of St. Cloud, they have built
up trade which has steadily increased
with each year. Being experienced buy
ers, they understand the wants Of this mar-
ket, and purchase accordingly; and buying
for cash they are able to obtain the best
figures that Eastern manufacturers can
offer. We can commend this house to
strangers for fair dealing and low prices
old settlers do not need this information,
having discovered it for themselves.
