IHE AMERICAN NEGLECT OF MUTTON.
"A leading butcher in a suburban city
informs me that he sold but one sheep
during the entire summer; in fact, he on
~ sold portion of that After keeping
1t IN his ice-box more than month he
took If home and ate it III his own family.
Notwithstanding the length of time he
had 1t on hand, it was sweet and good,
proving that mutton will keep as well as,
IT not better, than any other meat. Dur
ing this time he sold thousands of pounds
OF beef which had been brought on the
cars hundreds of miles. In the autumn
ne sold hundreds Of pounds of pork. To
us there seems to be a want of wisdom in
all this. His patrons refuse to eat the
cleanest, healthiest and most easily digest
ed meat in the world, and without
thought, apparently, Or consideration, fol-
lowed fashion, or habit and ate beef more
or less feverish and unhealthy, not know
ing or caring where it came from, and
pork which might have been reared in
filth, and might be reeking with disease.
The farmers would be glad to furnish
mutton IN abundance, if there was only
demand. 1t seems to be a universal
practice with Americans to dislike NUT
ton, or, at least, to eat scarcely any meat
but beat and pork. They will pay twice
as much for beef as mutton can be bought
for. Chops always sell high, because
every one wants them, and nobody wants
the restxo the carcass. Butchers saw they
must sell one-third of the sheep for
enough to pay the whole, as all the rest
has to sell below cost Americans seem
to be totally unused to mutton in any
form as corned OF salted meat. There is
no better meat than corned mutton. 1t
is excellent for soups and stews or to boil.
The hams may be corned and then boiled |
and eaten cold for any meal.-Rwal
New Yorker.

IT must now be apparent to every re-
publican in Wisconsin that the last re-
publican state convention did wise
thing in not nominating Harrison Lud-
ington for governor. In consequence of
his failure to secure the nomination he
has carried his sorehead over into the
democratic camp, and has publicly de-
clared his purpose to give his support to
Jenkins, the democratic opponent of Gov.
Smith. Ex-Gov. Ludington can give no
good reason for acting with the opposition
and against the republican nominee for
governor He has not been misused by
either Gov. Smith or the republican par
ty. The contest over the nomination for
governor in the July convention was a
fair, open and honorable one, and the
fact that he is now found on the other
side through personal spite and malice is
evidence enough that he is too small a
man for Wisconsin's governor. His &C
tons would be more becoming in an over
grown boy than in an ex-governor. -Four
years ago Harrison Ludington was cleo
ted governor by the republicans of this
state, and would have received a re-nom-
nation for second term without doubt
had he not declined it in q public letter
months before the convention met He
was taken at his word and another man
| put in nomination, at which the ex-gov-
ernor has been whining ever since. Gov
Ludington will not benefit himself by
carrying his imagined grievance over tc
the enemy. He cannot compass the defeat
Of Gov Smith by so doing; but will
ALLEVIATE himself from his own party
forever. If he persists i'll his support Of
Jenkins his political death may be looked
for in November, so far as the republican
party is concerned.

The last Democratic platforms of Hi

nearly every other State in the West and
South don't read that way, but, On the
contrary, demand the fimsiest of paper
money III the place Of gold and silver.
And that also.is the Democratic plat

The democratic papers do not love Col.
Villas as much as they did a month or
two ago. They say that he has refused
aHee too often, and that the democratic
party will never offer him anything again :;
all of which does not worry Villas very
much. He can see further into the 20
htical milestone than any of them, and
Knows very well that the chances are
that the democracy of this state will have
nothing to bestow, in this century.

The Oakland (Cal.) Tribune gives the
following reason why Dennis Kearney
wilted in regard to his Grant effigy
threat: Captain Jack Crawford. the
poet scout is great admirer of General
Grant, as of all military men. When he
heard OF Kearneys threat, he became ex-
cited and went to Kearney's headquar-
tiers to interview the hero of Santa Ana
alone. Not finding him there, Crawford
thundered out the following message to
Kearney's representative: "Ten him
that if he ever burns General Grant in
effigy, or even attempts to perpetrate that
lndignity, | will make it my individual
business to kill himH' Jacks reputation
for veracity and skill in the handling of
weapon is good, and, therefore, Kear-
ney crawfished."

to a heavy wind and an inefficient fire de-
partment the flames could not be check
ed until the fire had destroyed the bust

and fifty or sixty dwellings were consum-
ed. Large stocks Of merchandise were
also destroyed The loss is estimated to
be between S1,500,000 and $4,000, 900.
A great many people were rendered home
less by this sad catastrophy, but SO fa1
there has been no loss of life reported
Thieving operations were carried on to

COMING BACK.
Cincinnati Commercial SentemI

Cincinnati Commercial, September 16.
There has been an unprecedently
heavy importation of gold from Europe
this week. The money market was com
paratively easy, with and per cent. as
the ruling rates for call loans, and excep-
tlonal transactions at 7 and per cent
the latter rate prevailing at the close.
In connection with the bank statement
the movements of the treasury and assay
office this week were very important.
From Sept. 8 to Sept. Is the amount of
gold from Europe aggregated$S, 100000,
OF which 100000 were deposited in the
assay office. The balance was in double
eagles, and went into the treasury.
During the same time the assay Office
issued checks to the extent of 81 ,55S, 900.
To-day the assay office has also paid out
some large amounts.
The treasury received during the week
$3,O6O,O00 legal-tenders on account of 4
per cent. bonds, which reduces the re-
naming collateral for these bonds to $5-
100000.
The currency balance of the treasury
last Saturday was $24,O0O,OOO, while to-
day it was down to $4,000, 900, owing to
the payment of assay office checks for
gold, and also for the direct deposits of
American gold coin received from Eu-
rope
From the figures it will be seen that
the banks received large amounts of mon
ely from the treasury On account of the
gold arriving from Europe, but at the
same time they paid considerable into
the treasury for the 4 per cent. bonds, and
sent large amounts Of currency to the in
terror.
If it had not been for the arrivals of
gold from Europe, there would have been
great disturbance in the money market
The influx of gold from Europe, as indi-
Gated, has assumed enormous proportions
the amounts received by the various
steamers during the past week aggregat-
ing nearly $9,00O,000, while to-day comes
the dispatch from London for this port of
Fl, 100000 in bullion.

SaIadee's Eclipse. .

Either as pleasure or business Buggy, has never
yet been approached in the art of carraige bni1dl
ing. 1t is superior to all other buggies for it,
simplicity because the complete running gear
of these buggies is constructed with fewer narts
and pieces than the ordinary side or eintic hnos
giSes, and hence, Lightness, Strength and bura-
bility are secured There being no rigid connec-
ton between the axes, no violent shock or sra in
can be impaired to the wheels or any other Dart
of the vehicle. P"i'
Anease of motion is impaired to the BODY never
before equaled in any kind or class of Pleasure
Carriages While, at the same time, the buggy
presents an elegance in appearance, and a SfyIe
of Finish never yetapproached. The Eclipse is
positively an Anti-Rattling Buggy, there being
no piece Or part about the entire gearing that
can ever wear SO as to become loose or ''shaky.i
A New Coupling is substituted for the ordinary
fifth wheel (which is novelty for its simplicity

vehicle ever yet produced without rigid perch
that will not throw the hind wheels out of track
when one spring is more heavily loaded thar the

Subduing ana Avoiding Fever and

Of all chronic diseases fever and ague is
perhaps the least conquerable by the ordi-
nary resources of medicine. There is, how
ever a remedy which completely roots it
out of the system in any and all of its va
rious phases This celebrated ant-periodic
is vegetable in composition, and is not only
eficacious, but perfectly safe, thing that
it can not be predicated with truth of qui-
nine. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is, be-
sides, most efficient means of defense
against malaria as it endows the physique
with an amount of stamina which enables
it to encounter miasmatic influences with
out prejudice to health. Persons about to
visit, or living in foreign countries, or por-
tions of our own where intermittent or re-
mittent fevers prevail should not omit to
lay in a sufficient supply of the great Pre-
ventiye, both to avert such diseases and dis
orders of the stomach, bowels and liver
common to such localities.

Washington Post. !

Washington Post.
Prof. Spencer F. Baird, Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution made fly
ing visit to Washington Tuesday from
his annual retirement on the Massa-
chusetts coast as member of the United
States Fishery Commission. He was
captured at the Smithsonian by Post
interviewer, to whom he said:
"The Commission have been carrying
on the work of investigating the fisheries
of the coast, ascertaining their character,
productiveness of the present as compared
with previous years, and endeavoring to
calculate what the future is going to he;
also, studying location along the coast
with reference to the establishment of
stations for the artificial production of
Goldfish, mackerel and halibut, the three
great staples Of American fisheries. The
work has not closed as yet. We oe-
cupied all last winter at Gloucester on
Cape Ann, in experimenting in artificial
Matching Of Goldfish, and met with great
success. Ten or twelve million were
Matched and turned into the water at
Gloucester harbor, which is now filled
with young fish, the result Of that exper-
iment. Great results are anticipated
from the systematic effort in the direction
of propagating the three kinds of fish
named, and it is hoped that very valua-
Bile and extensive shore-fsheries can be
developed and materially effect the fu-
ture Of American fisheries in relation to
