II Is estimated that the pork packers
OF Chicago have paid out over $40 000,-
900 for hogs packed there since the
beginning Of the season on the first of
last month. Besides this, it is esti-
mated that at least S4.000,G00 more
have been paid by Chicago shippers
for lige hogs to forward 70 the East.
Including the October packing and
shipping, there can hardly have been
less than SI5,OO0,O00 paid out at the
stock yards for hogs since the middle
of October. Estimating the Chicago
packing and shipping at one-haf Of
all that is done in that line in the Yves
tern States, it gives the grand total Of
$4,000, 900 paid out Tor hogs in the
West within the last fifty days, the
greatest part Of which has been paid
. farmers in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin. Ada ID this the fact
that these States viii have received
several millions Of dollars more for
corn IN 1874 than they ever received in
any previous year, and it must be APP
parent to all that the West is really
growing rich.

tn NsmDhis appeals blood Is up.
i seems that Just after the elections,
the editor Of the Shreveport Ia
Times came ont in 4 Observation-Disclosures
article suggesting awholesale slaughter
Of the republicans in that section.
Such -4onstrous brutality was shocking
TO the Appeal, and it said as much in
veryvg 5coas English. Back came the
Shreveport man charging and snOrJing
worse than a fiery untamed bull at a
red flannel petieoat-but the appeal
may as well tell the rest:
He said we treated hun with ruff
anlv' insalt-"denOunced him a fool,
murderer and God knows what else. y
Aulho did the chiyalrOus hero seek
% avcngs his insults? BY pouring
upoa us a half column Of insane abuse.
This was the salye with which the gen.
t!euan, who confesses thathe was ''ruf-
family insulted, called fool and
murderer seeks to vindicate his
furnished honor. 1t seems, however,
the offended brave did not Ind suhclent
balm in mis- first TRADE to cure his as
smiled honor. and he makes another at
tempt by applying the same plaster to
the same sore. This is the stale device
OF worstad foes. Abuse and black
guaraism is not the way to meet ''rut-
fianlv" insults, or the chargeof fool, T."
murderer and assassin, as this pusil-
luminous coward knows. But If he Is
satisfied with his mode for redresslng
acknoElg dyed insults, be 1t so.
And now it remains to be seen
whether said "pusillanimious coward
will swallow all this and confess him
self satisfied" If not, Memphis and
Shreveport are within easy reach Of
each other and the interesting country
affords some lovely spots foI quietly
and comfortably "redressiDg acknowl-
edged insults"

The latest feature Of paternal gov
eminent comes in.the shape of bill
presented to Congress last week for the
relief Of sufferers by The tornado in
Washington last July. it actually
provides that taxes shall be abased 70
property holders, whose roofs were
lifted by the wind A contemporary
suggests that the Government buy
wigs FOR theunhappy individuals whose
hair was blown off in the same gale.
The Supreme Court of Minnesota, a
few days since, rendered a notable, and
we must say, peculiar decision on the
liability Of telegraph companies for
non-delivery Of messages. The cir
cumstances were that Beaupre &Kee.y,
of St. Paul, had correspondence with
Dubuque parties, finally telegraphing
that they would take 200 barrels Of
pork 1T. a certain price. This tele-
gram vas handed to the company on
the 10th. bat was not sent till the 18th.
In the meantime pork had advanced II
price, and Beaupre & Kelly sued for
the difference. The court decided that
they wereonly entitled TO recover price
ofmessage, and not for any loss result
ing from an advance pork, the dam
ages claimed not arising naturally from
the defendants breach of contract, and
not being such as may reasonably be
supposed to have been contemplated by
the parties, when making the contract,
as the probable result Of the breach.

" A Voyage Down an Un-
known River"

In SCRIBNER for JANUARY we begin the
thrilling narrative by NAL POWELL, OF his voy-
age OF discovery down the Canon OF the Colora-
dO-almOst literally voyage through the center
Of the earth
The cliffs lowered sometimes more than mile
above the heads Of the travellers, involving
them in gloom, and hiding from their sight the
dangers toward which they were hurried by the
impetuous torrent
The narrativs Is enliyened by charming bits
of description of the gentler and more beautiful
phases Of nature, which were strangely mingled
with those weird and awful scenes.
A part Of the expedition, refusing TO go for
ward upon what seemed an insane journey,
turned aside and met death in the wilderness.
The illustrations will be mrvels OF engrav-
ing, the finest We have ever produced

DIR. r. SHELTON MACKENZIE, the
Literary Editor of the Philadelphia Press,
says:
"Sr. NICHOLAS, tell you in private, as I
have told my readers in public, Is the very best
magazine for Young people that have ever

praise for the judieiOus manner IN which she has
executed her task. have found heaps Of things

CHINESE FUNERAL IN CHIoAGo.-Chicago
had its first Chinese funeral last week. From
the following description from the Times it
would seem that not even Chicago's inau.
ences can shake John from the observance
of the customs of his mother country:
A large number of square pieces of paper
with holes punched in them, and bearing hi.
eroglyphics, were then scattered in the coffin,
after which the undertaken placed the corpse
in, which was sprinkled over with these pa
pers, and then covered with white cloth and
red one. More papers were scattered over
these after which the lid was put on and
screwed down. The undertaken and bis as
sistants then lifted the coffin from its trestles
and changed its position from foot to head
three times, the audience looking on with
great soemnity. Then the bedding last used
by the deceased was rolled up and tied, and
five potatoes ranged along the top of it, the
middle one being stuck full of tapers. After
several holes had been burnt in this bedding
an expressman took charge of it and pre-
coded the procession to the grave.
