The Guano Trade between Peru and the
United States is in litigation. The Peru
Wan Government, through its attorneys,
brings grave charges Of fraud against vari-
Gus American dealers in guano, and has
sued FIVE New York firms, the complaint
charging them with selling adulterated
guano as genuine, with improperly using
old bags, and with appropriating the Pc
ruvian trademark fraudulently. These
suits have caused some sensation, and the
firms in question say that all the guano
that comes to this country arrives in bulk,
and they claim the right to put it in bags
and combine it as they see it, In fact,
guano in the hands of some dealers, has
all along been "fixed up for the trade, y
and the genuine Peruvian article is said
to be often so mixed with extraneous sub.
stances as to be useless. This refuse it i
the custom to remove, its place being sup.
piled with cheaper guano or some phos.
phate fertilizer. This manipulation, those
in the business say, so far from injurine
the article, really enhances its value, whilst
enabling them to sell it at reduced price
They also claim the right to buy old bags
and refill them if they see ct, and If the
Peruvian trademark happens to be on
these bags, they say that the Peruvian
Government has no right to interfere
These are the statements of the wholesale
dealers who have been bro1ipbt into Court

About Lightning.

The Hartford Courant, has lately given
this interesting subject some attention, and
after careful analysis has arrived at the
following very satisfactory conclusions,
showing how slim the chances really are of
being struck by lightning. Taking the
figures of the last census for our facts, says
that journal, we find that during the year
1870 there were in the whole country 2O2
deaths from lightning stroke. Let wo-
mankind take notice that out Of these 148
deaths were Of males, and only "a Of
females. The total number of deaths
from all causes was nearly 100000.
There were 2,437 deaths from other causes
to one death from lightning, and there
were 190, 1888 persons living to every one
killed by this cause. II is somewhat sin
gular that the lightning was decidedly
more destructive with both males and fe-
males between the ages of ten and Thirty
years than with any others. Between tea
and fifteen years is the most fatal time, but
even then the number is very small.
Much comfort for those still inclined to be
timorous is to be found in going back
further on the record. The deaths by
lightning in 1870 were only IL more than
in 1860, while the population had in
creased more than 1000, 900, and the rate
is declining, in spite of the hasty conclu-
sions formed by reading the news of day.
In 1860 there were forty-eight deaths by
lightning out Of every 100000 deaths
from all causes. In 1870 the rate was
only forty-two. But now, while only 202
persons died from lightning stroke in 1870,
there were 397 deaths from sunstroke, or
nearly twice as many. Yet the number Of
persons who shudder when they see the
sun rise would bear very small ratio to
those who shudder at the rising of tie
thunder cloud. The rate of deaths by
sun-stroke has declined during the decade
from ninety-one to eighty-one in 100000
from all causes; and with the increase in
care and information on the subject is
likely to decrease still; but it will always,
probably, be largely in excess Of the
lightning. 1t is also noticeable that there
were l ,345 deaths by suicide, while there
were only POP deaths by lightning--an
individual is six times as likely to kill
himself as lightning is to kill him.

Maryland, Ny Maryland. +"

Clement Sulliyane, Esq. editor Of the
Cambridge Chronicle, was one Of the edi-
torial excursionests, who recently journeyed
through the West. He returned home
convinced that Maryland has many advan-
tages over the West, in that we have a
genial climate, kind soil, and the best
markets for produce within easy reach Of
the farmers. If we had half the industry
and enterprise of the people who have
populated these new States, we should soon
outstrip them in many respects. The
editor says "After all, we saw no coun-
try on our entire route, excepting only the
great mineral beds Of Virginia and Penn
sylyania, that we consider superior in ma
tural advantages to our own loved Mary
land. We are satisfied that If the same
people lived here that congregate in the
West from every part of the civilized
earth, full of life, energy and money max
ing ayidity the same results would follow
here that in the Western wilds have as
tonished the world, We have the ocean
that girdles the earth ut out doors, thick
studded with great cities that furnish mark :
cts for every species Of produce or manu-
features. We have as genial climate,
and, what can be made as fertile soil
We observed out there that every field not
actually covered with crops was thick set
in clover and are assured that is one great
cause Of the apparent inexhaustibility of
their soil. They lead harder life in the
West than our people in the East. Every
farmers family, old and young, male and
female, work at something on the farm,
and instead Of, as with us, spending all
over and above their actual needs in pro-
curing comforts, they invest it in some
thing that will produce more. A salt
water country is superior to fresh water
country, in that it has all the advantages
Of the latter and many more, and we re-
turned to our home with feeling Of de-
light as we met once more the pure, strong

waters Of the Chesapeake, and Toasted our
eyes upon all the fair scenery that makes
Maryland one of the gems in Columbia 4

THE WHALE FIsHERY.-The steady
decline Of the whale fishery goes on with
out change. Even in the hyperborean re-
gions of the Arctic and Antarctic Seas, to
which whales now have to resort, the
fishery is becoming gradually Of less value
and Importance. The Greeland fishery
for good many years was profitable
field for whalers, but even that is now Civ
ing out. The feet of whalers last year
fitted out in Scotland for the Greenland
Seas numbered only ten vessels, and down to
June LIST but two small whales had been
taken, although the fishery usually closes
by July LIST. This looks very much as il
the Scotch, notwithstanding their indomi-
table perseverance, would be tempted to
abandon this almost fruitless pursuit.
Whale oil is already largely superseded by
petroleum, but whalebones will not be
abandoned without pang Of regret,
