certain test of Its purity, cream being
lighter than milk, its removal leaves
the fluid comparatively heavier Water
might be added to this, and specific

for ascertaining the specific gravity,
and the lactometer, the only mstru-

required by law is an actual chemIcai

WIN. Murphy, Esq.

The above-named individual, who
claims to be an insurance agent, is not a
stranger here. His red and sensuous
face is as familiar as lamp-post.
He spends most of mis- time loafing at
the door of the Public Library, and kim
dred places, where young ladies are in
the habit of visiting, and does mis- little
best to carry on Irritation with them.
His last victim is young lady of emf
nent respectability, whom, the other
day, he followed from the corner Of Filth
and Vine to the Public Library, and
very insolently endeaVored to strike up
conservation. H
She gave him no encouragement what
ever, and finally reached the Library.
Here the young woman met an acquaint-
ance, Mr.. +. III. Johanning, of Mount
Adams, and, relating the circumstance
of Murphy's insolence, the young 'nlan
tackled the "mashing' Murphy and
gave his cowardly hide good beating.
Mr.. Bickel, the watchman at the Lii
brary, arrested both men, but no charge
was preferred against Johanning. Muir
ply appeared before Judge Lindemann
this morning and was fined $25 and costs.
| The next time, he should go to the Work
house.

Exports of American Manufactures.

The export OF American produce and
manufactures to Europe, particularly TO
Great Britain, is steadily increasing, and
now in addition to cotton cloth and
some other fabrics the list of exports
embraces large variety. AS an
example, we specify representative
cargo recently taken by one OF our
ocean steamers to Liverpool. The bulk
of the freight consisted of bacon, lard,
wheat, cheese, talow, butter and cotton,
the bacon and cheese together amount
ing tonearly two million pounds. The
next item of Importance was agricul-
tural implements, of which over thou
sand were sent. There were seventeen
packages OF castings, seventy-hve cases
Uf rifles, and twelve packages of machin-
cry. Two hundred cases OF canned
goods were no trifling item, though there
was only one barrel Of apples, IL being
| not the seaosn for their export. Eng
| land depends largely on us now for her
| apple supply. IWenty-one cases OF
type-writers went probably on specula-
tiohs, and with them eight cases Of
stationery. There were hundred and
thirteen packages OF furs and hundred
and sixteen bales OF leather; fitty-ont
bales of hops, aud one hundred boxes o
extracts. There were three cases o.
toys, probably little wooden buckets
two cases OF books, ont usua
direction for books to take these
Jimes-and one case oil drugs
These items make up costly
cargo and give good idea OF what we
are capable of doing to supply th'

Grant may not be worth more than
$25, 900 per annum, but it would be parsi-
mony to confine respectable President,
who abandons outside dickers and de-
clines gifts, to that amount. The Gov
ernor General of Canada receives twice
that amount. England's Queen has an
annual income of nearly $1,000, 600, drawn
mostly from public revenues. in one way
or another, and members Of the royal
family are paid as follows: The Duchess
of Cambridge, $50, 900; Princess Augusta,
$4,000; Duke Of Cambridge, $4,000;
Princess Mary, $4,000; Princess Alice
Maud of Hesse, $4,000; Prince of Wales,

thur, $45,O0O; Princess Helene, $4,000;
Marchioness OF Lorne, 1000; Prince

Prussia, $4,000. The Queen receives
about $245, 900 additional per annum from
the Duchy of Lancaster, and Wales
about the same amount from the Duchy
of Cornwall. OF course we don't want
to ape royalty, but we can afford to pay
good President good salary.
