Cheap Coal and Dear Butchers
Meat

The reduction in the price of coal and
in every thing else which enters into
consumption by the working classes, x.
cept meat, encourages the hope thai
less distress may prevail during the
coming winter than has been expert
enced by the poorer portion of the COM
munity for many winters past. There
ls, indeed, no reason why the price of
meat should not have fallen in
correspondence with the price of
other articles of domestic con-
sumption, especially when it Is
known that we are exporting ship
loads of beef and mutton in reIrigerators
to British markets ,at eight cents q
pound, and are paying from twenty TO
LSrty cents pound tor tA.ee aaM5S cllts
and qualities Of meat in our own
markets.. r.ere is a question which
our Economists and philanthropists may
perhaps be able TO elucidate, although 1t
is one entirely beyond the comprehen-
sion Of the butchers, who continue to
adhere to old prices, just as the retail
coal dealers who peddle the poorest quail
ity OF coal continue to demand from poor
people, who Can only purchase it in
small quaECities, the same price which
they Tere in the habit of receiving from
tneir most needy customers in the
seyerest wiuters, when coal was twice
as dear as 1t is now.

There is fellow in New York who in.
Varlably gets seat in crowded street
car by carrying an old oyster can, which
he deposits with extreme Tenderness
beneath the legs of the most tmid-
looking passenger, begging him for Gods
sake not to move his feet around much,
lor there is enough nitro glycerine in
that can TO blow up thousand such
cars. The passengers who dou't hap
pen to sit in the corner seats generally
get out through the window, SO that be-
fore throwing the can away the man has
a choice of seats on both sides, with the
privilege, as lar as the conductor is con-
cefned, of putting both cushions on one
side, and lying down with his feet cooked
up Oh the indicator. Another pleasant
and efficient method is to label small
valise Savannah" and carry it with
the labeled side out, assuming mean
while distorted expression OF counle-
nance, as though the symptoms were

gehteel than the oyster-can method, and
