REASONS WHY.

The reasons why DIR. Prices True Flavorng
Extracts, Lemon, Vanilla, ETC., are superior to
all others is because they are prepared from
the choicest selected fruits and aromatcs, with
out coloring or poisonous oils, that ali the fla
voring principles are retained unchanged by
chemical action, highly concentrated, requir-
ing less to flavor, that there is no deception In

TIE LIBEKrINt,s WORK.
From the Owyhee Avalanche.

DIR. Green, formerly a respected and
prominent citizen OF Virginia City, Ne
vada, died at the Woodbridge Insane
Asylum on the 18Th instant. His loss
of reason and subsequent death are
said TO have been brought about
through grief caused by circumstances
which took place during the Summer
Of 1874, an account OF which was pub
li-hed in the Aratdnche Mt the time.
The facts i'm brief are as follows; In
1872, the beautiful and accomplished
IL year old daughter of DR.. Green was
married to a poor but honest and IN
dustrious young man named Brady,
at Virginia City. In due time a dangh-
ter was born unto them. But Mrs.
Brady was not contented with her lot.
She sighed for the excitement AMI dis.
sipations of fashionable life which
money alone could give her. Her hus-
band vas poor, hut he Was inaulgent
towards his petted and handsome
Young wife, even to a much greater ex-
tent than his scanty purse could afford
Time rolled on until the Spring of 1874,
when she became intimate with a man
named Quimby, Who had plenty of
money. At length she freed herself
from the restraints Of her humble
home by getting divorced from her
bu sband. She then went to San Fran
cisco Ostensibly to reside with some
relatives, but in reality to enjoy the
company of the willy Iibertine, Quimby,
who followed her down to the Bay,
having at the same time a wife and
three children in Virginia City. About
the LIST Of July, 1874, DIR. Green was
taken sick, and telegraphed his daugh-

INITIATION.

The following Washington dispatch
appeared in Yesterdays issue of the
SENTINEL:
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
directed the retirement Of S764,412 of
outstanding legal tenders. that amount
being so per cent. of the National Bank
circulation issued during the month.
We have reproduced this item to
show how matters work under the
boasted financial policy of the dom
inant party. The action OF the 'Secre-
tary of the Treasury was in pursuance
of the provisions of the Finance Till
passed by the last Congress. The
practical workings Of this measure
should be of especial interest to those
journals that have all along contended
that the Republican party honestly
and consistently favors contraction.
What sincerity there is in these pre-
tensions WI will allow the figures tn
explain. We are told by the telegraph
that for the month just closed the Sec
rotary has retired S764,472 of legal ten
ders, that sum being eighty per cent.
OF the National Bank circulation issued
for the same period. To be a little
more explicit, we have got rid of
$764,472 of legal tenders, and have in
their stead 1855, $50 of National Bank
notes, a clean characterization is the
better word-of $i9l ,l1S. AT this ratio
how long will it take the country to
get back to specie payments? Perhaps
the Enterprise can inform US. Our
Jones, ct al, say the thing will have
been accomplished by 1879, and still
these gentlemen are permitted to run
at large. Insanity commissions are
remiss in their duties i'm these latter
days.

the board is now awaiting the arrival

Jelly's testimony before the Water

LONDON, Aug. 21.-A large warehouse
at Gloucester burned this morning with its
contents, including many thousand quarters
Of grain. The building was a nine story
structure, and 200 feet long.
The investigation by the Board o. Trade
in.o the loss OF the steamer AbbOtsford, re-
suited in a verdict that the captain made
an error of judgment, but his certificate is
returned TO him.
The Times, in its commercial column,
says the grain market is inactive, but pre-
vious prices are obtained for wheat. 1t
seems to be the opinion that the prices Of
wheat will be well maintained this season.
This has sustained the market in spite of
the heavy arrivals of foreign wheat. Brit
ish wheat 80 far brought to the market has
not been Of good quality. There is not
much that is new to report about thereon
dition of trade abroad. HarVests will gener-
ally be per cent below fine yield, but
with old stocks to draw on, there can be
nothing approaching scarcity, and mode
rate advance on last seasons prices is likely
to secure an abundance. The improved
feeling recently manifested in the sugar
market has subsided, and several parcels
have been withdrawn from public sales on
account Of reduced prices.

WASTED FLY POWDER.
Hartford Courant


II was Hamlet who expressed a prefer
ence for the fly to ills we know not Of or
words to that effect, and Hamlet either was
or pretended to be insane. The idea that
there is any more annoying torment posi-
bic than the frequent fy affords is an un-
sound notion, a sign Of very thick skin or
a very thick head. But setting aside for
the time the direct discomfort that the
creature works for man, it is interesting
and instructive, too, 20 see
the seriously injurious effect that
its indirect influence seems to
have upon tie worlds industry. There are
in round numbers 100000 COWS, oxen,
horses, and the IKE in this country, which
for about ten hours a day during tly-time
keep their tails in almost constant motion.
It is no eIsggerstion to estimate that they
swing them at least ten times a minute
with fOrcs equal at each swing to raising
one pound a foot. That is, their tail-force
is ten foJt-pOunds q minute. One horse
power is $1,000 fOOt-pOunds in a minute,
so $500 cattle would exert with their
tails One-hOrse power, and all these
creatures in the country would put forth
upon the fly the aggregate force OF 10000
horse power. Now the entire force Of all
the steam engines and water wheels in the
country used in the manufacture of steam
engines and boilers is less than 1900
horse power. That is, the force wasted by
our domestic animals in waving tails to
keep the hy away is almost sufficient, if
rightly applied, to make all the motive ma
chinery in the land.
