Meat Exports.

The large and steady increase 10 our ex-
ports of meats to other countries is one of
the most instructive facts presented in our
commercial reports. Sailed meats are, of
course, the leading item in these exports.
10 1875 they amounted to $39,2l7, l76; in
1876 to $40, 1922, 1874, and in 1877 to $67,-
2SS,75s. But sailed meats are not the
only kind we send abroad. Our exports
Of preserved meat, that is, meat preserved
otherwise than by sailing, increased from
$4,000 in 1872, to 81 100000 in 1876;
aud our exports of fresh meat increased
from 1860 in 1874, to nearly $2,OOO,O O0
in 1876, This export of fresh meat,
chiefly beef slaughtered in the Atlantic
cities and carried across the ocean in re-
trigerators on board ships, to Liverpool, is
a new business; but the success that at
tended the experiment three years ago
will probably cause it to be one of the
steadily increasing features in our provision
trade. The amount of meat of all kinds
we sent abroad last year, SCI, 2SS. 1853, is
enormous. And it is likely to increase,
for our facilities for exporting are con-
stantly improving, and Europe cannot pro-
cure as good meats as we send, and as
cheaply from any other quarter.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE. in
various forms has for many years been one
Of the chief articles in the Mateyia MedicG
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive. and circuIatory or
gans. The difficulty that was long ex--
perlenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction OF
Helmbold's Extract of Buchu, which for
the last quarter of q century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been Uni
tated, and those who have use for it will
do we'll to see that the obtain the genWt's6

reliable preparation.

The Michigan Senator'S Silver Opinion

Senator Christiancy. of Michigan, offers
this solution of the silver and gold
problem:
while / am in favor Of making silver a
legal tender to any amount, and briging it
into general irculation-without which /
fear we shall not be able to reach specie
payments at as early day as we Ought
am opposed to making the present subsi-
diary coin or the old silver dollar q legal
tender to any amount above FIVE dollars at
the present standard OF the subsidiary coin
or the old standard of the dollar, accord
ing to which it is really worth much less
than greenbacks, which are still far below
par as compared with gold. But l would
overcome the difficulty in one Of two ways
First las TO all, at least the subsidiary coin,
IT not including that. by adopting the
market value Of silver as compared with
gold; and by making the silver coin in
dollars, or any larger pieces, legal-ten-
der for all amounts at such market vaIue,
and by providing a board for the deter
mination and publication Of this value at
short intervals"

Why Shouldn't They Pall ?

Of eighteen savings banks in New York
city there are six which pay out more than
$4,000 year in salaries alone, four more
which pay more than $4,000 year, and
only six which pay less than $4,000.
There is but one bank in the whole eighteen
which does not pay between $4,000 and
$4,000 to a single officer, and that bank
pays its secretary $4,000 per annum. One
bank pays its president $4,000 aud its
secretary $4,000 per annum. In another
the same salaries are $4,000 and $4,000,
while $4,000 is paid to an assistant secre-
tary; and yet another pays the president
$4,000, the comptroller $1,000, and the as
sistant $4,000. Then there is one with a
secretary at $4,000, and a cashier at
$4,000 Altogether the eighteen banks
pay out nearly a quarter of a million Of
dollars to thirty-fve officials, and yet PEG
pie wonder why savings banks break.

Hugh Riddle, president of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad, on return
ing from a trip ofinspection over his road.
He reports the crops along his line in ex-
celent condition. Mr.. Riddle has also
taken a look at the demolished Omaha
bridge. He says the destruction Of this
structure is the greatest mystery on record,
as no two persons agree as to the cause Of
its giving way. It is his opinion that
lightning had nothing to do with it, for
there is no trace of it on the wreck; on the
contrary, he thinks that whirlwind and
waterspout lifted the two spans out bodily.

Yesterday afternoon there arrived in

and after a brief illness died, leaving his
wife and family, and unharvested crops,

money. To pay the expenses of the fu-
neral Mrs. Scranton secured an advance
on the growing crops, and when she had
paid the last tribute to her dead husband
had nearly $50 in cash,
With this sum she procured few neces-
saries and selecting a camp outfit from her
household furniture set out with her child.
