The daily Commercial Bulletin has advices from

have packed 6.555 200 hogs to date and estimate for
the season 100000. Packing at points not reported

OF the west 7,445,OOO. Decrease in the average
weight is estimated at ten pounds, which will reduce
the aggregate packing to 713400O hogs of last years
average weight. The yield of lard varies consider
ably and will probably not show much if any reduc-
non from last years. Stock on hand at points which

poorer than he is, and poor to those who
are richer. The man of thirty-ive is

him youth" There are SO many peo-

ENGLAND's ANTHEM The national an
them of Great Britain, adopted also by
Prussia and the German States, is ap-
parently adopted, as respects the words,
from the ''Domine Salvum" of the Ro-
man Church. The authorship has been
enormously credited to DR.. John Ruli,
organist in Queen Elizabeth's Chapel,
professor of music in Gresham College,
and chamber musician of James I.
About the time of the discovery of the
Gunpowder Plot he composed and played
before that monarch, on small organ,
an ode beginning "God save great James
our king" It is not shown, however,
that this or any other old composition of
