How Two Grocers Came to New York.

The Troy IN. W Wing tells this
story: A couple of clerks in large
grocery store on River street, not far
from Washington square, had a very
pleasant trip to New York on the City of
Troy, Tuesday evening. Some packages
were to be shipped by the boat, and the
young men were hurried off with them
few moments previous to departure.
In their haste TO get to the craft they
went in their shirt sleeves, and without
hats. On board the boat they met a
couple of fair ones with whom they stop
ped to converse moment, and the chat
was SO interesting that they did not hear
the cry call aboard" nor realize until
too late that the boat had moved from
the dock, and they were obliged to make
the trip to the metropolis minus hats
and coats, and what was still more en-
barrassing, without cash in their pockets.
They managed to negotiate loan when
the boat arrived, and with borrowed
coats and hats returned the next evening.

The Potato Starch Industry.

The Springfield Republican says of
the potato starch industry, which has
already assumed considerable proper
tions in Washington, Clinton and Essex
counties of New York:
One of the most important manufac-
tured products of the small country
towns of New England and New York
State is potato starch. It is believed
that nearly 8, 900, 600 bushels of potatoes
are frequently consumed per year in the
States of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont and New York in the production of
potato starch. This amount is three
eighths as large as the potato crop of
Maine, three-fourths as large as that of
New Hampshire, three-fifths as large
as that of Vermont, one-tenth as large
as that of New York State, of about the
same magnitude as that of Massachu-
sets, and much larger than the crops of
Connecticut or Rhode Island. There
are about 225 factories engaged in the
manufacture of potato starch, and proba-
bly, all of them, with one or two exceptions,
are located in the States of New York,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
The average price paid for potatoes by
starch manufacturers during the past
season has been thirty cents per bushel.
The aggregate annual production of all
the factories is usually from 5000 to H.
900 tons. A bushel of potatoes generally
makes eight pounds of starch, $50
bushels, therefore being required for a
ton. AS the average market quotation
for potato starch is about five cents per
pound, it follows that bushel of pota-
toes brings only forty cents after being
converted into starch, and the value of
the total production of potato starch in
the country is from $500, 900 to 81, ,2OO,-
600 per annum

A WOman's " No."

He spoke to her with manly word
With honest speech and slow;
She felt she loved him as she heard,
But yet she answered "No."
She saw him rise, she saw him stand,
As staggering from blow;
She could have kissed his trembling hand.
But still she answered "No."
And SO he goes-to come no more
But let him only go,
Her voice will call him from the door
Who trusts a woman's "No?"

Goldsmith Maid Defeats Rarus.

At San Jose, California, on Saturday,
Goldsmith Maid and Rarus commended for a
purse of $4,000, mile heats, best three in
five, to harness. There was a large at
tendance, the weather was fine, and the
track in excellent condition. The pools
sold 10 to in favor of the Maid. Budd
Doble drove the Maid, and ]. Splann Ra-
rus. The latter drew the pole. In the
first heat they got off well together at the
third attempt. At the quarter pole the
Maid drew ahead in 35i, widening the gap
Rarus then pressed tho Maid closely, and
nearly got abreast of her, but on the home
stretch the Maid drew slightly ahead, win
ming by half a length in 2.225.
In the second heat a good start was
made after scoring twice. The Maid took
the lead, making the first quarter in "a i,
Rarus close behind. The half-mile was
passed in 100. Down the homestretch
they came ct tearing pace, Rarus doing
wonderfully well, the Maid only leading
him half length under the string in 2. 1867.
This was the best time ever made in the
state, except that of Occident at the state
fair in 1878, which was the same. In the
third heat the Maid took the lead, making
the quarter in 34aa, the half in 1.0Sa, and
winning by neck in 2.1Si. By the con-
ditions of the race, as the Maid did not
beat 2 16a, the purse was reduced to SO,

A Threatened Railroad Strike.

A general strike is imminent on the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad, in conse-
quence of an order issued to their employees
to sever their connection with the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. Sunday a
secret meeting of engineers was held at
which over $50 members were present.
The divisions represented were 81, 40
and II Of Philadelphia, 70 of Reading, 76
of Cataquissa, 80 of Pottsville, affected by
said order, and No. % of Camden and the
divisions of Trenton and Jersey City. ].
L. Worrill presided and addresses were
made by Grand Chief Engineer p. M. Ar
thur and others.
1t was urged that harmonious action be
taken and no violent resistance made, such
as leaving engines, etc. If strike was
agreed upon the engines should be taken
through to their destination in every case.
No formal vote was taken, but each men,
Der was left to make his own choice.
There was determination, not expressed
by vote, however, to remain in the brother
hood at all hazards. The next twenty
four houre will determine whether there
will be a strike or not.
The Reading officials say they are pre-
pared for any emergency, and that the pub
lie will not suffer any Inconvenience should
a strike take place. They further say the
company does not desi.e to deprive the en-
gineers of their benefits, but purposes to
establish and endow life and accident in
surance fund for the engineers.

Live Cattle for England.

The British steamship Istrian, Captain
Fit, sailed from Boston Sunday forenoon
for Liverpool, taking out as part of her
cargo 27S live cattle, which are destined
for the English markets, where the de-
mand for American beef has heretofore
been sufficient to absorb all the shipments
that have been made on this side of the
ocean. The arrangements for receiving
and transporting the cattle were similar to
those made for the lot that was sent out
last year by this line, and it is believed
that the present enterprise will prove as
to the owner as the other ven-
lures of this kind have been. This is the
largest lot of cattle ever sent from that port.
They were purchased in Chicago at cost
of six cents per pound.

Rhode Island Election.

The Rhode Island election, the second of
the New England spring elections, will be
held next Wednesday. There are three
tickets in the field, republican, democratic
and prohibition, the latter party in their Sc
lection of state officers, having named a
mixed ticket, containing four of the repub-
licans nominated and one Of the democratic.
The republican and prohibition candidate
for governor is Gen G. c. Van Zandt, and
the democratic candidate ]. B. Barnaby.
The Rhode Island campaign is very Ian
guild one. The republicans and prohibit
tionists heretofore have been uniformly
successful there, and generally by large
majorities. Hayes majority for president
was 5,075. The great spring contest in
New England-the Connecticut election
which formerly stirred up the politicians in
early April is now thing of the past, the
day of election in that state having been
changed from April to November.

The Issue of Additional National
Bank Notes.

The amount of additional national bank
notes issued by the comptroller of the
currency during the past month was
s1,979, 100. The comptroller says this is
the largest amount of additional circula-
ton issued during any month for the past
two years, and that about two-thirds of
the amount was reissued to banks which
had previously retired their circulation and
taken up their bonds. The amount of
national bank circulation outstanding on
January IA, 1875, was $351, 100000. The
act of that date authorized the issue of
circulating notes without limit, subject to
existing laws; and also provided that an
amount equal to eighty per cent. of the
additional national bank notes issued should
be retired of legsl-tender notes. Since
that date $57,000,000 of national bank
notes have been retired and surrendered,
and $24 100000 of additional circulation
issued, making total decrease of S33, 000-
900 of national bank notes, the amount
now outstanding being S319 000 900. If
the amount Of legal-tender notes on de-
post for the purpose of retiring national
bank notes amounting to $4,000, 900 be
ucuuCleu IIOlH lHe amount Oh udtlOnAl
bank notes now outstanding, it will leave
| $500, 900, which is but slightly in ex-
cess of the $500, 900, 900 authorized by the
national bank act of June 30, 1874.
The total amount issued under the act of
January IA, 1876, to date, was $24, 179, 745
eighty per cent of which amount, or &c.,
| 343, 795 in legal tender notes, has been re-
| tired by the secretary of the treasury, leav-
ing the amount of legal tender notes out
standing $3.50, 1856, 204.
The comptroller says that considerable
amounts of doubtful paper, of which, how
ever, greater or less proportion may rea-
sonably be expected to be recovered in fu-
ture, are being charged to the accumulated
surplus of the national banks, as result
of the hard times. AS might be expected,
there are signs of weakness among some of
the banks, but as whole the national
banks of the country are in good con-
dition, and in his opinion the national bank
| ing system will be stronger after having
successfully sustained itself during so long
| a period of business depression.
