A curious case, illustrative Of the mag.
niieent meaness Of certain kinds Of human
nature, has lately come before a Brooklyn
Court Some seventeen yeals since one
WIN. Baker erased name from a will and
substituted his own. By this he fell heir
to 100000 worth Of property, upon which
SIS collateral be raised $50, 900 borrowed
money. He now refuses 10 pay the sGO,-
600, because the viii was fra udulent, braz-
enIy admitting that be substituted his own
for anothar mans name. Underth the limi-
tation statues he cannot be punished. In
all Court records from earliest times we
doubt If an example Of meanness and
criminal sharpness equal to this can be
found. The perpetrater deserves to be
spitted on the point Of every pen in the
country and held up to public opinion,
since Ibis Is The only punishment that can
nov be sncted him.

A HEAVY DAYS WoRK.-The Cum
berland Neics of the 18th instant, says
The suspension Of the running Of trains for
two or three days on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad interferes sadly with the
immense business Of the railroad, aud
makes things very lively for twenty-four
or thirty-six hours after the resumption of
business. The new bridge at North Branch
station was completed on Sunday night
and fifty Or sixty trains that had accumu-
lated in the immediate vicinity Of the
bridge were sent forward, but the heavy
work was not commenced until daylight
yesterday morning.
During the eighteen hours ending at
midnight last night thirty -eight freight
and coal trains, comprising eleven hundred
and forty-fisc cars, passed through this
city, going west, and going east, forty
trains, comprising eleven hundred and
twenty-nine ears, making in all eighty-five
trains and two thousand two hundred and
seyenty-four aars. All the east bound cars
were loaded and about one-third Of those
westward bound.
When we add to this immense number

Hog Products and the Packing Season.

The season is now sufficiently adj
| vanced to enable the situation of the
/ future market for hog products to be
4 judged with some intelligence. There
were 10000, coo head of swine of all
/ es in the thirteen principal producing
states on the first of last January, ac-
cording to official reports. The total
packing in the west during the winter
season of 1973-'74 was 5, 466, 200, against
/ 5,410,S14 during 1872-'73. The total
packing to Jan ], last winter, was ap-
proximatelY 4, 600. 600, against 3, 300, 600
to same date season of 1872 and '73.
The corn crop of the four great corn
states is better than year ago in both
quality and yield per acre, and the aver
age is also larger while the apple crop
largely used for feeds plentiful,
| and the demand for corn for human food
is greatly reduced by the low price of
wheat. These facts evidently ere those
made use of by the bears" On the
other hand, the high prices of ''spot"
and " future" corn make it more profit
able for farmers to ship the corn instead
of feeding it, wherever they are near a
railroad. This will have a tendency to
rush poor, light hogs to market early
and give the opening of the packing
season the appearance of a large crop,
which will be fallacious. The recent
heavy receipts of hogs at Chicago give
evidence of this tendency already.
There is stress also laid upon the fact
that Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
shipped large number of hogs during
the summer and fall on account of the
grasshopper plague. This is true but
by careful inspection of western market
reports, it appears that those shipments
were largely of stock hogs, which did
not go to market, but into Illinois and
Iowa to feed, where they now are, wait
ing to come forward. In this line of
argument, the absence of any surplus of
old crop left over of any staple of hog
products is brought forward as evidence
of an early and pretty active export de-
mand, as markets both sides are unusu-
ally bare of stock.
These are the chief points upon which
the new campaign of the spectators
and dealers in provisions will open, with
the theory of a short crop more gener-
ally accepted. This theory will doubt
less influence the market at the opening
of the season but whether the argu-
ments are so much on the i" bull' side
as to warrant any speculation upon them
IS another question, which, IN all prOba-
bility, will only be answered late in the
season. The high prices of hogs are
certain to bring out all that are fit for
market, unless corn goes lower, com
polling the farmers to feed it. The fair
supply of other kinds of feed than corn
and low price of wheat, will all have an
influence against prices, and may send
enough to market early to over-burden
holders of stock while, from the above
facts, the later arrivals may not prove
to be so poor as might otherwise be ex-
pected. The quality of the corn, also,
is so much better than usual, that in
sections away from railroads, where it
will be largely fed, the hogs will be fat,
if not large.-NelO York Bulletin.

ROthschiId's Maxims.

The will of the late Baron Rothschild
consisted of twenty-five articles, Of
which paragraph twenty, remarkable
for its beautiful lessons of fiIial obedi-
ence and brotherly love, is as follows :
81 exhort all my beloved children al
ways to live In harmony never to loosen
family bonds to avoid all differences,
discussions and litigations to use for
bearance toward each other, and not to
allow temper to get the better of them,
and to be friendly in their dispositions.
My children possess a good example in
their excellent grandparents. Friendli-
ness was always the sure condition to
the happiness and success of the whole
Rothschild family. May my children
now and never lose sight of this family
tradition, and may they follow the ex-
hortation of my late father, their grand
father, contained in paragraph fifteen of
his last will, always to remain true and
faithful, and without changing, to the
pRternal faith of Israel"

A Mexican GrOttO,

Among the recent discoveries of m.
cient ruins in Mexico is that of an arti-
ficially executed grOtto, fifteen miles
from Tancitaro, in the state of Michoa-
can. The grotto is represented to be of
immense depth and vast extent; the re-
mains of walls and arched corridors are
still to be seen, and many curious spe-
cimens of the handiwork of an unknown
race has been brought from this subter-
ranean palace. Two citizens of a
neighboring village recently penetrated
into the cavernous depth of the grottO
and lost their way. Three days and
nights were spent in wandering through
the labyrinthine passages of this won
derful place before they found an out
let from their strange imprisonment.
Subsequent to this competent persons
made a more thorough examination of
the grotto, when the fact that at some
unknown period in the past it had been
shaped by human skill, and walled in
on every side by human hands, was re
vealed. 1t is a dark labyrinth, surpass-
ing in extent and intricacy the tabled
one constructed by D@dalus. The
walls are of masonry, and the passage
ways, which connect vast chambers, are
arched over with stone. These evil
dences of human labor and continuance
lead to the supposition that it is the
work of AN aboriginal race which long
ago persisted.

Colorado Bugs and Potatoes

Forney's Weekly Press says: It is
remarkable that Colorado, which one
would suppose by the name to be the
home of the Colorado potato beetle, is
measurably free from the ravases OF
this destructive insect. The writer has
seen them in Colorado, but chiefly in
the lower lands this side the rocky
mountains, while the great potato crops
are in the elevated regions. The best
crops commence about Denver at an
elevation of about 6, 200 feet above the
sea level, and continue up to about TO-
600 feet. OF all agricultural crops the
potato is probably the most paying crop
in the territory. There are immense
tracts of land there that will never be
of any benefit for agricultural pur-
poses, as they are too steep and rugged
for irrigation, so necessary in a country
having little rain. 1t is only moder-
ately level places ia the riffs of the
mountains, near streams, that once in
awhile fifty or hundred acre farm can
be located. On these, in most of these
billy tracts, the potato is the leading
crop grown. On the lower land wheat
is the chief. This year one potato
grower near Denver is reported to have
secured 80, 600 bushels. This would be
a big thing for even a Connecticut
ryrOWar

Yesterday, as we were standing near

Fig Coffee.

And now it reaches us that they have
had on the market in Austria, through
the ten years past, substitute for coffee
prepared from figs, and thatrecent care
full tests of it indicate that it possesses
a more agreeable flavor than the chic
cory substitute, and has thus far been
brought into the market free from I'M u
rious authorizations, often present in
chiccory coffee. Samples from Berlin
in the form of a coarse, bIbwn powder,
including yellowish particles, formed
an Rdhering, slightly gummy mass on
being lightly pressed between the fin
gers, and possessed Rsweetish- bitter taste
like caramel, and n corresponding odor.
Austrian samples, although in the main
similar to the preceding, were slightly
more pulverulent, and of a sourish
taste, which fact, together with the
chemical analysis, rendered it probable
that cheaper, in erior, p erhaps even
spoiled figs had been used in lis prepa-
ration. At it's first introduction wonder
full medicinal properties were claimed
for it in Austria, especially in affections
of the lungs, ETC., and it Is recommen-
ded for nervous persons. Although 1t
may be servicable in such cases it can
hardly be considered medicinal, and the
! Berlin manufacturer claims that it is
more wholesome than pure coffee, simply
| because it is less stimulating. In all
cases it is recommended to employ an
equal quantity of coffee with the sub
stitute, and the color of the product is
said to be exceedingly fine, as well as
| the flavor.
We have not been able to learn all
about the nlOduS OperaItdi of prepar-
! ing the fig coffee, further than the fig is
first dried by heat aud then roasted.
Anything looking to a coming good use
for the fiU is interesting to the people of
| the gulf states, where the fig may be
grown in abundance, and is an ever
| failing crop. If we could only put it
upon the markets of the United States
as a substitute for the ground coffee
authorizations now in everyday use, it
would undoubtedly return us an i'm
