Hog Products and the Packing
Season.
New York Bulletin


The season is now sufficiently ad-
vanced to enable the situation ofthe
future market for hog products to be
! Judged with some intelligence. There
were 100000 head of swine of all
ages in the thirteen principal produc-
ing States on the first Of last J&ntfary,
according to official reports. The
total packing in the West during the
winter season of 1873='74 was s, ,466,
200. against 5,41O,3 ,314 during 1872
'73. The total packing to Jan. 1.
last winter, was Approximately 4, 900,
600, against 3 100000 to same date
season Of 1872 and rs.
The corn crop Of the four great
corn States is better than a year ago
in both quality and yield per acre,
and the average is also larger; while
the apple crop-la-gely used for feed
is plentiful, and the demand for
corn for human food is greatly re-
dueed by the low price of wheat.
These facts evidently are 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 in
stead of feeding it, wherever they are
near railroad. This will have ten
dency to rush poor, light hogs to mar
ket 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 tenden-
cy already.
There is stress also laid upon che
fact that Missouri, Kansas and Neb-
raska shipped large number of hogs
during the summer and fall on ac-
count of the grasshopper plague.
This is true but by careful inspec.
ton of western market reports, it aps
pears that those shipments were
largely of stock hogs, which did not
90 to market, but into Illinois and
Iowa to feed, where they now are,
waiting to come forward. In this line
of argument. the absence of any sur
plus of old crop left oyer of any sta
pie of hog products is brought for
ward as evidence of an early and
pretty active export demand, as mar
kets both sides are unusually bare of
stock.
These are the brief points upon
which the new campaign of the spec
ulators and dealers in provisions will
open, with the theory ofa short crop
more generally accepted. This the
ory will doubtless influence the mar
ket at the opening of the season;
but whether the arguments are so
much on the "bulP' side as to war
rant any speculations upon them is
another question. which, in all prob
ability, 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,
compelling 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 mar
ket 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 al
so, 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.

The South no Longer an Out
cast.

From the Louisville Cour1er-Journa1 (Dem.)
The Opposition, under Democrat
ic leadership, has simply got itself
in position for effective work the
final issue-the overthrow of the Re-
publican oligarchy, must be a ques-
ton of time, properly handled. The
wisdom of elation is an eye for the
main chance and, at the risk of
throwing a wet blanket over the ar
dor of those thirsty souls, who, after
q prolonged drou'h, have suddenly
come upon a spring of fresh water,
we venture to suggest that, instead
of wildly dancing about it, we take
measures for improving its Condi-
ton, so that it may not dry up be-
fore our eyes, and leave us like the
poor fools in the fable of the en-
chanted well. In a word, let us
look about US and see what we have
won, in order that we may the better
determine what we shall do. Pos
session brings with it responsible
ties unknown to expectancy. As
suredly we owe our victory to our
liberalism, and we must keep on lib.
eralizing. Success should make us
neither exacting, nor critical, nor in
ert nor narrow. 1t should make us
generous. Steady is the word, and
broad broad as the whole country ;
stretching our banners, like the en-
sign of the Republic, from Cape Cod
to Texas, loving and forgiving all
round, wiping out the old bloody
score, and opening fresh set OF
books. As a nationalizer, our vic.
tory is of incalculable patriotic val
ne. 1t assures the South that it is
no longer an outcast. Tt tells us
that we are not aliens in our native
country. 1t gives us 8 motive and
O cure for sentiment which the Rad
icals, prescriptiye and venomous,
have denied us. South Carolina can
now salute Massachusetts, with gen.
uine feeling, as all of us do; and
New Hampshire can fraternize with
Louisiana as in days of yore. The
clouds have passed away from the
old flag. It floats for all of us again
i'm New England and in Dixie
the same godblessed symbol of equal
laws and universal protection. We
shall tear out of the book the leaves
which record the last flve-and-twenty
years of Democratic history, leaving
only the legend Of its glory when i
was, as it is once more. the party O
progress and the nation. Our faitl
is strong that these will be the rul
ing principles and inspirations Of th,
National Democracy, and that thi
times will raise up leaders to repre-
sent them out of the multitude 0

striyen SO long against odds in be

Feather Beds and Lightnin g
ackson oourier-Herald


A general impression prevails that
feather-beds are nonconductors of
electricity. Our old friend, DIR. VIM.
B. Wood, bears testimony to the fact
that they are certainly a protection.
Many years ago, and when he resid-
ed in North Carolina, his dwelling,
though apparently protected by
lightnins-rods, was struck by light
ming and the house was literally torn
to atoms. The charge Of electricity
passed down a chimney not protected
by rod, and passed into the rooms
and tore to pieces bedsteads ON
which members OF the family were
reclining on feather-beds, and not an
inmate of the room in which the
charge passed was even shocked.
Those not on beds and remote from
the part Of the house that was striek-
en- were severely shocked. So it
seems our scientists are right IN as
serting the nonconducting and safe
properties of feather-beds in an cleo
trical storm.

on Madison street, as is well known, is a
net work Of wires which are not exactly
non-conductors. During the storm last
Monday night the lightning played up

caused the operators to abandon the
keys in hot haste. Blue balls of fire
leaped from switch.boards to wires and
performed numerous acrobatic feats ON
the latter to the great establishment Of
Charley Marable, who acted as receiving
clerk in the business office. The fire
balls flew from room to room, which gave
the operators fine opportunity to or

that produced by an electric battery Of
fifty mule power was heard throughout
the building. Major Woodson, agent Of

when the fire balls commenced playing

and at once proceeded to attend to it,

Now that warm weather approaches it
might be well to recollect the following
fan Irritation rules which govern the
business in Europe:
When a lady uses her fan in an out

into space-it means that she is married
and you must not hope. The contrary
movement, inward, from space to the
body, means that she is free. If, how
ever, this inner movement is made by
tanning in a downward direction, it
means Shat she is a widow; if in an up
ward direction, that she has never been
married. A closed fan, held upright,
means do as you like An open fan,
resting on the breast means silence.
A closed fan, presented to you horizout-
ally, means an invitations" presented
by the small end indifference" With
one leaf open, friendship" two open
leaves, sympathy" three, love and
passion" A talking fan should be
composed of seven leaves, to correspond
with seven days in week. The hour

intimated by so many taps being made
on the leaf which represents the day. A
colored fan placed on the lips means

the fan means we are watched.

The highest compensation obtained by
any clergyman in America is $25, 200,
the annual salary Of Henry Ward Beech
err, of Plymouth CHURCH. If popularity
be the measure of payment, he is GER
tsinly entitled to every penny he gets,
for his sermons, whether heard or read,
have a wider audience or influence than
those of any clerical American. To
attempt to get inside of Plymouth when
Beecher is to preach is almost hope
less effort, unless you go an hour or two
before the sermon begins. In addition
to his salary as pastor, he has ten thou
sand dollars a year as editor OF the
Christian Union, for which he writes one
editorial a week. Besides this, he earns
by lecturing aud writing at least fifteen
thousand dollars more, so that his an
nual income amounts to fifty thousand
dollars, probably the largest enjoyed by
any mere preacher on the globe.
