NO ICE.


The Hudson river ice men are in de-
spair at the prospect of no ice. There
is usually about s1,OOO,OOO spent in a
good year in gathering the crop upon
which many families absolutely depend
in the winter season. The goosebone
superstition plays part in the ice busi-
ness and is thus described:
The superstition of ice men is associ-
ated with a wild goose's back. Like all
similar portents in other lines Of life
the goose's back, has no tangible con-
nectiOn with the ice crop, unless, per-
haps, it is that coming cold weather is
thought to affect the goose's back some
what as present cold weather affects the
surface of water-that is, hardens it.
This, however, is the belief. AS soon as
wild goose is killed, in the early win.
ter, and before it has grown old, if pos
sible tear the flesh and skin from its
back until the bone is exposed clean OF
flesh. If the bone is very thick and dark
the ice crop Will be Sufnclent, Dut II IL Is
either thick or thin and also white there
will be no ice whatever. 1t is related
by the believers that in 1870 of many
wild geese that were killed not one had
backbone. And many years ago, wher
the city's demand for ice had not reach
ed 100000 tons annually-it is now
100000 tons-there was winter wher
| all the backbones of the geese wert
transparent. 1t is pointed out that il
\ that year the thermometer never fell Il
20 degrees below freezing point. Blu
\ the same vagueness attaches to the fig
4 ures by which this year could be identi
fed as also applies to the superstition
/ which it is sought to be proven thereby
iIThis year reports are that all wild gees

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA late number
of German newspaper published at
Frankfort-on-the-Ma gives an account
of the meeting of literary society at
which the American Consul, Capt. A. E.
Lee, of Delaware, o., was present and
delivered an address in German uIoa
the literature of Germany. The journal
is very complimentary in its reference
to the ease and accuracy of the Captains
effort, and is also quite enthusiastic over
that portion of his address which re-
lated to German poetry. In this con-
nection, the attack made by Abram S.
Hewitt in the House upon the appoint
ment of Capt. Lee on the ground that
he had no knowledge of the German
language, will be recalled, but not to the
credit of Mr.. Hewitt. ,..s.a

Irangement could not and did not last
long. The peace of Amiens parted the
lslender ties, and Cobbett drifted over to
iithe Wings, and finally settled down to
what was his real work, domestic re-
form. 1.-The Political Register" became
q power in the land, and in season and
out of season Cobbett poured forth in ner-
yous English one after attack the other
upon the unreformed Parliament, the
corrupt civil service, the waste and ex-
travagance, the sinecures, the placemen,
the game laws, and the income of the
Church.
The England of Cobbett's time was
the Eldonian England, the paradise of
the few as opposed to the well-being
Iofthe many; and the few very naturally
and very wisely clung to their privile-
ges, and offered firm resistance to ev-
Iery change. They were formidable and
Edetermined adversaries, and they held
their own against the current of the
times for forty years. Cobbett was the
champion of the masses against the ar
istocracy. He was moreover sprung
from the people, and he is one of the
very few really great popular leaders of
whom this can be said. The agitator
and the fomenter of popular discomfort
Is as a rule man from the upper ranks,
who has been rejected by his natural al
lies, es,-vengeful, deceitful, and self-seek-
ing. Cobbett was not only one of the
class that he led, but what is efar more
extraordinary he was not "a demagogue,
but was from the beginning to the end
wholly independent and perfectly disin-
terested. He never pandered to the peo-
pie, ne never stirred up their passions to
serve his own ambition; and he had also
in ample measure the Unborn conserva-
tism of his race. He never advocated a
change for its own sake, but was always
able and ready to prove its practical ad-
yantages.-HENRY CABOT LODGE in In
ternatiOnal Review for January.

This is, substantially, the "Sapling
Story" Judge Marshall was peculiarly
great in his faculty of mental abstrac-
ton. Riding along in his sulky, the We
hicle came to full stop by the wheel
running between two saplings. The
Chief, undisturbed, retained his sulky
seat in the broiling sun until an old ne
gro who happened to know him, came
along, and aroused him from his reVery
with familiar, "Hil Massa Marshall,
what's the matter?" Marshall, c. j.:
"Well, uncle, 1 seem to be stuck fast

pull through" Certainly, Massa Mar
shall, certainly; but, Massa Marshall,
wha' for you no just back your sulky

judgment and wheels, anticipating the

A STRIKING illustration of the differ
enee in quality of stock of similar
weights is shown in the representative
cattle sales of Monday. Two loads of Is
head each, with exactly the same aver
age weight-1,55 ,555 pounds to the head
were sold, one at $4.90 and the other at
$3.50 per cwt. The difference was alto
gether in quality. Both lots had been
well fed, but in one the result was SYM
metry, beauty and the perfect develop
ment Of every point required to make a
first-class beef animal; in the other the
result was simply size and weight-only
this and nothing more. One load was
sold for $139.5O less than the other, after
coming here at perhaps the same ex-
pense, and after having without doubt
consumed as much grain as the load
which brought 60c more to the hundred
pounds. Extended comment is unneces-
sary. 1t is wholly matter Of what
kind of stock the feed is put into. Time,
labor and grain devoted to the develop
ment of good animals will generally
yield fair profit, where the same atten-
tion given to scrubs is often worse than
wasted. Pittsburgh Stockman, 18th

The Grain Clint.

| Phe condition of the grain trade at the
present moment is unprecedented. A
syndicate, of which j. R. Keene is said
to be the moving spirit, operating in
New York and the West, controls the
market. There are 100000 bushels of
wheat now stored in Chicago, nearly as
much in New York, in Philadelphia
100000 bushels, in Baltimore 1,5S4,76S
bushels, and in other cities in proper
tion. The total amount of grain now
stored in this country amounts to over
S0O00,O0O bushels, and in january, 1878,
| but 8. 100000 bushels. Besides this, it is
reported that farmers in the West are
much troubled because they cannot mar
ket their wheat, while in previous years
they had by this season sold out the
largest part of their crops. The condi-
ton of the corn trade is about the same.
The amount now stored in this country
is 100000 bushels, against 100000
bushels year ago and 100000 bushels
in 1878. The full storage capacity of
every prominent grain centre has been
brought into requisition, and in Chicago
and New York there are millions of
bushels of grain afiOat. The Keene syn
dicate, which has been manipulating
this enormous bulk of grain, has been
accumulating it in the expectation of a
large foreign demand and consequent
rise of prices. Foreign advices show,
however, that the probability of any
considerable increase of demand or price
is small. In Liverpool on January 1st
the stock of wheat amounted to 3,S0O,OO0
bushels, against only 100000 bushels a
year ago. At Odessa 100000 bushels
are accumulated, waiting for the opening
of navigation, and at all other European
ports the accumulatiOns are much larger
than in January, 1879. Reports of the
failure of the European wheat crop ap-
pear also to have been exaggerated, as
wheat is reaching the market in large
quantities from localities whence none
was expected. The ring still holds its
wheat at prices at which it cannot be
profitably shipped abroad, and the crop
of 1879 in this country was so large that
they have not been able, as they expect
ed, to secure complete control of the
market. On the Sd instant January
spot wheat was quoted $1.511S@1.52; I;
yesterday it was S1.42. February spot
ruled S1.57@1.5S, while yesterday it had
fallen to $1.44, and for March it was de-
clined from $16O to $1.4S. This shows
an average decline in less than two
weeks of about twelve cents per bushel.
which means to holders shrinkage of
nearly $4,000 900. There are no indiea-
tions that the fail has reached its limit,
and it is hardly probable that the hold
ers can stand the siege much longer;
and before the price has fallen so that
shipments abroad become profitable
again, it would be we'll for all who can
to stand from under Baltimore
American 18th inst.
