New Orleans and the Grain Trade.

In an article. published in yesterdays Demo-
Graf we gave facts and figures to show that the
ocean tonnage at this port is more than ade-
uuate for the shipment to Europe of all grain
that can be sent here from the West, In cor
roboration of this statement. and to show the
life and activity which have been recently given
to this trade, we will mention the additional
fact that on Monday last one dealer in this city
had fifteen sea-going vessels under charter to
carry grain to Europe. One of these ships has
since cleared Here in New Orleans. as we have
said before, there is an abundant supply of
ocean tonnage all that is wanted at the present
time is more barge room on the river for this
class of freight. The impossibility of one COM
pany supplying this demand is patent to every
one engaged in the trade. though efforts are,
seemingly, being made in some quarters to
convey different impression. We know of one
case where no transportation by the regular
barge line could be obtained for 10000 bushels
of grain from Cairo to this port. and a steam
boat and barges. which had been laid up
at Padueah, were chartered for the purpose.
In this connection we take the following
ex.ract s1om !. lons article in the st. Louis

The above parts OF sentences were

leaves OF the book The rest seemed to he

instances with red-iead pencil. Words

The unfortunate man had written his
name on the inside OF the first cover of
the book The presence of name could
be family seen, but not a single letter
could be made out Martin thought
the first name looked like William"
while French feels quite sure that it was
Charles There was evidently an initial,
standing for middle name. and the last
name was short enough for Wood, "
Gregg" or Brown" As near as they
could make out, there were not over six
letters in the name.
The bundle was lifted out with all pos
sible care, and in it We're found two pairs
of wooden socks, two wooden shirts, a
vest, the blade OF razor, buttons, and
bits of paper which resembled small
portions of greenbacks. Not one OF the
articles of clothing was much more than
dust, and the slightest breath tore them
to pieces. No book, card. or anything to
furnish a clue was found in the bundle,
nor in the boots, nor about the pile OF
blackened bones. The skeleton was lit

that a knife or tobacco-DOX might be

in one place, the sides were full of grit
and rock in this one place, which was a
stratum OF red clay, the poor man had cut
inches about foot apart, evidently hop
ing to reach the mouth OF the pit by that
means. He had cut inches to within thir-
teen feet of the surface, and in an evil mo-
ment had lost his balance, fallen to the
bottom, and rendered all hopes vain by
breaking his leg. He could do nothing
then but wait for death. He might have
had small supply of food-pcrhaps
enough TO last four or five days. Near
where the skeleton was found were nine
plain marks on the wall, each one stand

them TO stand for days. He could tell

he had made a mark to indicate the pass

braced his back against the wall and died.

the flesh and blotted out OF existence every
thing that might tell the world who the

Dear sr-From early youth was in feeble health,

only with great caution.
seven years ago the past Spring had severe
attack OF Diphthefia, which leIt my limbs paral-
yzed and useless, so was unable to walk or even
sit 40. Noticing the advertisement OF PERU WAN
SYRUP concluded to give 1t a trial, and to my
great joy soon found my health improving. |
continued the use OF the SYRUP until three bot.
ties had been used, and was restored to complete
health, and have remained so to this day.
attn ibute my present health entirely TO the use
of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and hold il in high estim.

unable to work or even to go up stairs without
great exhaustion. | suffered from frequent and

gish in circulation, and was for years suffering
all the fortunes OF a confirmed dyspeptie. About
six months since concluded would try a DO tie

Now that 10 has been demonstrated
that We have at home enough sulphur
to meet all local aud national require
ments, couple of things, it seems to
us, should at once be done; sufficient
capital should be furnished the parties
having this business in hand to enable
them to enlarge and prosecute it with
efficiency, a preference being giving By
purchasers and consumers to this over
the foreign article; then Congress
should impose a small duty on the i'm
portation of crude sulphur, just enough
to enable our own producers to get and
keep the home market, a policy that
would soon so develop this industry
that it could be carried on successfully
in defiance Of competition from abroad,
and which would finally result in
greatly reducing the cost of this COM
modify to the consumer.
DANGER OF ExpLosroN.
In an economic view there are good
reasons why consumers, and more es-
pecially the manufacturers of powder.
should encourage the introduction
upon the market Of pure article,
like this from Nevada. Ata meeting
of the San Francisco Microscopical So
ciety, held not long since. Henry g.
Hanks. the eminent analyti teal chemist.
made statement to the effect that
much of the sulphur here sold as sub
limated. consisted merely of the pow
dered a5ticle, and consequently con-
tanned o considerable per centage of
foreign matter. Mr.. Hanks illustrating
and ceafirming his statement by SUBJ
mitting to microscopic inspection
samples of what purported to be subli-
mated sulphur purchased by him from
various druggisis in the city. On the
strength of the same good authority
there is, reason to believe that many of
the otherwise upacconntable explosions
that occur ia our powder mills are due
to the substitution of this deteriorated
sulphur for the sublimated article, q
considerations that should admonish
great caution in the use of materials
for the manafscture of this explosive.
