COOKED
CORNED BEEF

Articles are being published calculated
to prejudice the public against using
Cooked COrned Beef, and we would say
in answer to them that in no instance has
positive proof been established to show
that such is the case.
Our GOODS are packed in manner very
similar to that of Corn, Tomatoes, Fruit
and canned goods generally, (which have
long been tested) and we use nothing
whatever Of poisonous nature in their
preparation.
In addition to our own statement we
have the strong endorsement of Prof.
H0sfOrd Of Cambridge, one of the most
eminent Chemists in the country. who
has fully tested and is familiar with the
entire details Of the preparation Of our
goods.
We would also state that we use none
but the choicest qualities of Beef
that cur Chicago market affords, and
trust that with these statements the rap
idly growing popularity of our Corned
Beef may be increased.
For the information of those not know
ing the fact we would state that in the
process Of canning there is liability of
imperfect sealing, which causes the can
to expand. Meat contained in such cans
is unfit for use and will be cheerfully
paid for when returned to any grocer
selling it.

Hon. +. j. Ellis.

The city OF Now Orleans has sent TO
our halls Of national legislation one of
her foremost lawyers and first gentle
men In the person Of Col. f. John Ellis.
Louisiana, of which it may be said,
"shc who fell unconquered, but wearied
with victory, giving her soul to God and
her body to the enemy" sent no more
superb soldier to the war than this chi
valrous gentleman who, for four years,
wore her uniform in the front edge of
every battle. When peace came he de-
voted his time and talents to the great
work of restoring hope and confidence
to those who suffered most and longest
and Of endeavoring to save Louisiana
from the vile clutches OF the beasts
which have SO mercilessly preycd upon
her. He was a leader in the grand
revolution of the 14th of September and
on that day contributed largely to the
success of the movement by his intre-
pidity and ~sagacity. He fairly repre-
sents the great State and the beautiful
city where genius and hospitality and
all that is noblest OF the Southern type
Of manhood find congenial home.
Col. Ellis, although young man, is
Chairman Of one Of the most important
committees in the House. He is a bril-
liant orator and possesses what few
politicians can justly claim, a mind
richly endowed by nature with the keen
est apprehension of the beautiful both
in art and nature, and a heart full OF
sympathy and charity. Scholar and
gentleman there lies open before him a
future second to that of no man in the
South. Louisiana hOnors herself by
honoring him.-Albemarle (N ca Times.

The Ma lprOrk Trial.

ST. LOUIS, Feb 19.-The court in the
Babcock case opened at 1Oa. m, and
Hon. James Brodhead, special counsel
for tho Government, began the first of
the four closing arguments. He intro
duced his arguments by adverting TO the
great evils peculiar TO our country and
times, saying money enough had been
stolen by men In official position during
the last ton years to pay the interest on
the public debt. He attributed this
largely to the corruption OF the present
administration, and sought to impress
upon the jury their duty to crush out
these gigantic evils. The jury, he said,
should only consider the Indictment
as furnishing an opportunity Tor
inquiry and must be influenced by
action Of preceding juries in similar
cases. While the evidence for the Coy
ernment is largely circumstantial, it is
for the jury to decide il it does not CON
clusiveiy prove the guilt Of the defend
ant. II SO, no consideration OF his for
mer reputation and standing or high
Dosition should prevent their bringing
In a verdict OF guilty. The spea.-er. ex-
plained the conspiracy, and then review
ed the history Of the whisky ring opera
tiOns i'm st. Louis. All the dispatches
put in evidence by the prosecution were
claimed to show not only Babcock' 8
knowledge OF the existence OF the con-
spiracy, but also that he materially as
sisted the ring by important informa-
ton concerning the movements OF de-
tectives, etc.
