say that the United States, with a
few years more such prosperity, will
consume as much more as they did. Two
distinguished men have alluded to
this subject-one was the President
of the United States, and he said that
the prosperity of the United States

drawn shows that the statements were true. The
day before the Pommerania sailed Mr.. Lucke had
his will drawn up by senator Habe. and deposited
with the Safe Deposit Company. of this city. The
combination not being known the company, after
the of Mr.. Inckc's loss reached this city. al
lowed the lock to be broken open on the order OF

clause of the instrument provides that ii the tesator
