tOmt5c ~ 100 pounds had been estab-
blished. At the present time packers are not
prosecuting Strengthening operations very
actively, yet there are more houses engaged
| than one month ago. Prices of product have
been reduced to very low figures, while the
export demand Is exceedingly limited and
| the stocks on hand are quite large, therefore
there are lew encouraging features to the trade
the supply OF old Is large and prices do not
cuts-prime mess and extra prime are being
produced. Lard is also manufactured to a
fair extent and some packers are rendering
the sides from extra heavy hogs, though this
Is not general. The principal cuts OF meats
made are long clear. short clear, and short
rib sides, and shoulders and hams-the former
for export and the latter to meet the wants Of
the domestic market, and commanding
marked premium over winter cure.
The packing Of Chicago since the close of
the winter season aggregates about 5Si,0oD
hogs against 475,00O to date last year. and
$4,000 to date in 1876. The packing in the
West to date at the points reported indicates
an increase over the returns TO date last year.
yet it Is doubtful II the returns at all the
points would show any excess The supply
Of hogs Is quite liberal but Indications point
to the probabilities that the summer packing
of this season will be conferred at the large
cities, owing to the difficulty In obtaining Ice
In sufficient quantities to make the business
profitable.
The summer packing at Cedar Rapids to
date Is reported at 81, s32 hogs, against 4,lt5
for corresponding time last year.

The Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise

says:
We were yesterday told the particulars Of
a case of young man who is being eaten up
by interest Mt about as lively rate as though
he were being devoured by a devil-fish. His
case is q reminder Of the celebrated horse
shoe nail problem. 1t appears that In 1876
the young man, not then of age. was the
keeper of restaurant in this city. On
one occasion he required some money, and
a lawyer boarding with him loaned him
$50, the young man saying that. as inter
est on the sum, he would not charge the
lawyer for his board until he paid him
oil right, and next day brought the
boy note, to be signed by him, In which
interest on the $50 was charged at the
rate of 81 40 per day, the lawyer saying that
this was about the value Of what he was eat
ing each day The boy objected strongly to
signing the note, but was finally induced to
put his name to the paper. The lawyer went
on eating the boy not finding 1t in his power
to keep going and pay the s5o-till the res
taurant busted" out. Finally the young
man, who had gone to work in some restaur-
ant in town, was sued on the note by the law
yer, who obtained judgment with interest at
the rate of 81 40 per day. The young mans
wages. amounting to SIG, were attached and
Now the lawyer is going after his victim
again. and the principal and interest yester-
day amounted to just 1925 So not saying any
thing about what the lawyer ate and the SIG
he got by attaching the young mans wages. p"

An Incident Of the Putin Bay Fire.

The sandusky Register gives the follow
ing incident of the Put-in-Bay fire:
An incident occurred at the late fire of
The Putt Bay House which ought to be
chronicled for the purpose of encouraging
such acts Of heroism hereafter under like
circumstances. While Mr.. West WAS en-
deavoring to form bucket line to the lake,
and on account of the great excitement
was meeting with poor success, a beautiful
young lady, neatly and elegantly dressed
for the ball which was to come off at the
Putin Bay House that evening, placed her
self in the line down near the lake, where
it seemed difficult to get men, and soon
flied that end of the line up by her elo-
quent appeals to the bystanders to
come and join in passing buckets to the
house. Mr.. Richmond. son of the owner
of the museum, noticed her working in tho
line and said to her, "Madam, you will
catch your death-cold working this way in
the water" She replied 4" l wish to set
those men who are standing around here
doing nothing an example. cannot see
such elegant property Dnineu ~,Uuvuu
ing all can to prevent it, And she kept
working Oh, passing on as quickly and
steadily as any one, looking like an angel
of light dressed in her beautiful party ar
ray, her diamonds gllstening in the awful
ty grand light from the burning house.
Such girl, yonns man, is worth your
hand-one of grit and stamina, one that
will stand by you closely in adversely as
we'll as in prosperity. Her name, as Mr..
Richmond had it on his shirt cuff, is Miss
Sadie Wood, OF Buffalo, New York.

his lecture season in California on the
9th inst, at San Francisco. The follow
ing were his farewell words.
Again return to you my most hearty
thanks for your greeting, and for the very
kind hospitality which have received up
on these far shores. Tomorrow return
to my home and to my duties again. May
the blessing of Almighty God rest upon
this great State of the Pacific. observe
your soil-how fertile it is; say that,
thanks to your even summer sun and to the
wonderful fertility of your soil, the things
that with us are pigmy with you are giants;
that which is moss with us is shrub with
you, that which is but scraggy tree with
us with you becomas the robust and mag
ni6cent sequia.'' Everything grows
large in California. May, also, that ciyili-
cation and that religion which have done
so much good to US of the Eastern States
have IN Californis a growth as great and
as much greater than in our soil as the
seeds and plants have, and may that sun
which brings to you all cheer and all boun-
ty and all civilization from older nations,
when it leaves you and travels on, give
from yon an example TO the islands Of the
seas and to other nations on other conti-
nents, of q respondent civilization founded
on Justice, built up in love and purified
throughout it's whole extent, SO that the
blessings of God. with open eye, shall look
upon you and abide with you for evernore.

High Pressure Education.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the I'd
contains the following regarding the system
adopted in many schools of forcing or cram
ming children
A young girl who but few days ago was
in her place in one of the advanced classes
in public school in this city, has died of
brain fever and was buried yesterday. She
had been straining every energy to meet the
requirements of her teachers, most of the
lessons being required to be learned out of
school hours. Her delicate, nervous organ
ization could not endure the strain, and the
oyertaxed and oyerburnened brain gave
way and delirium and death ensued. Could
her teachers nave anticipated this result,
they would undoubtedly have lighteued
her tasks as far as possible and saved her
Ii life. t IS net their fault. but the fault of
the stimulating, high pressure system of
education in vogue at the present day,
which consumes almost the entire school
hours in recitations and general exercises,
and sends the pupil home with long lessons
to be learned for the morrow. Of course
there are many pupils who are of such a
temperament, and are SO strong and endur-
ing, or who learn SO easily, that they pass
through the ordeal without apparent dam
age; but not few of the brightest and
best, but most sensitive and delicate, will
be sacrificed. While the present crammlng

ITEMS FROM THE SouTH.-Memphis,
before the plague, had population of 50,-
600, but of the people who now remain
only 1000 are in health. The fever pre-
vailed in many parts of the country inclu-
ded within a radius of ten miles Of this
city. Fifty volunteer physicians have died
in Memphis and twenty others are sick.
Eight Catholic priests and five Protestant
ministers have also perished. At Vicks-
burg physicians fear wet weather, and con-
sequently q renewal of the fever with black

burned by quarantine officers at Galveston,
and postal agents protest against its wan

Girls Should Have a Trade.

An exchange thinks it should become a
part of every girls education to learn some
trade by which in an emergency she could
support herself, and perhaps others depend
ent on her, and thus runs over some of the
arts adapted to her physical capacities
"Sewing, dressmaking and millinery, of
which she is supposed to know something,
is a very trihing quantity. Teaching re-
quires long preparation and considerable
natural adaptation
Cooking is an art neglected in this
country, and one which would seem to
promise well to those who should make
themselves experts in it. Telegraphy is
easily learned SO is type-setting, and both
are permanent business, always furnishing
large amount Of employment. Painting
on china, engraving and carving in wood,
are all occupations ia which women would
be likely to excel, aud in which fair remun.
Grafton could be earned. Bookkeeping,
too, is profession easily learned, and for
proficients in which there is always a de.
mand." a

Bishop Simpson On Evolution.

Bishop Simpson, in his San Francisco
sermon, said:
But then they tell me, "Well, this sys-
tenn of evolution does seem to overturn
Christianity, does it not, and if things were
evolved from some first types, how can the
Bible be true % Now, the Bible don't tell
you exactly how all tidings were evolved.
1t tells me God made them, but | do not
| know how, Now, am not saying that
evolution is true or untrue. There is a
great deal in it that is unproven yet, as l
think, and if were put into the iury-box
and called upon to give conclusion in the
dict, and say, It is not proven.' But let
| us lock into the matter for moment
Here is a matchmaker he makes very
beautiful timepiece it is jeweled in many
holes and is an almost perfect chronometer
and extol his praises and say he is an ar :
tist, a wonderful artist. Now, suppose,
the artist could not only produce the watch
keeping such excellent time. but that every
succeeding watch turned out by him was
| more and more perfect-huw it would ex-
alt my idea of his skill. And here, they
tell me, the theory of evolution, that God
made certain types, first creatures, and
they have been evolving and producing bet
ter ones until man is evolved, and man is
getting higher and stronger-if that IS true,
ard my Father can do all that, He is more
grand and glorious than even I had con-
ceived the idea of. It requires more wis
dom and skill to create IN that way than to
speak into life, as in moment, these Or
ganisms of ours. Evolution does not effect
my faith at all.''
