HOP BITTERS.
Theory VS.. Facts.

All established theories are set aside by
solid facts. The solid fncis in this case
are, that the business interests of our fair
city have been more greatly enhanced
within the past year by one single enter
prise. conducted by one single mind. than
by all other productive institutions in Ro.
chester We refer to the manufacture of
Hop Bitters. The remedial properties of
hops, with the herbs introduced, princi-
paliy buchu. mandrake and dandelion, had
long been known, but there had been so
much mere stuff-aye. deleterious stuff
foisted upon the country, under the gem
eral cognomen of 'bitters' and remedies"
that this medicine which had been per-
fecting under the experiments OF skilled
pharmaceutists and chemists. had to over
come the dstrust Of all such ''renedies''
by the slow process OF Information, which
has been so successfully done that to-day
the druggist who does not embrace Hop
Bitters in the list of his regularly ordered
medicines, or the family that does not
know its beneficial effects, would be difficult
to find. u.,.
THE MANUFAcToRY
is located on Mill street, from which ema-
mates the preparation that is daily shipped
to all parts of this country and to sections
of the globe over which the American flag
does not float. The business is splendidly
systematized. and everything goes on so
quietly that it would be difficult to imagine
that so extensive business was done in
that locality. Each department is overseen
by competent persons. The items for bot
ties and for packing-boxes are enormously
surprising, and those who furnish thrse
two articles alone have reason to rejoice at
the discovery of Hop Bitters, while the
myriads of sick people who have been
cured by this invaluable remedy have
greater reason to rejoice. i Rochester Eve

Genital System.
New York Telegram, Dec. 20.

A very large meeting of the grain
trade was held to-day, at the produce
exchange, and an address upon the re-
fusual of the grain trade to adopt the
GENITAL system was read and ratified by
large vote. The address concludes as
follows:
1t is not competent for the grain tradeJ
to discuss the merits of the GENITAL sysJ
tenn. That issue has not yet been pre-
sented. When the necessary congress
sional and legislative action is taken
in behalf of the country; when Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Louis, Toledo, Detroit.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and other
boards of trade adopt it simultaneously
with New York, and all quotations
from leading markets are in centals, the
experiment may be successful, but un-
til that time the grain trade of New
York should not have imposed upon it
the burden of attempting to establish
such a radical change. In conclusion,
the grain trade of New York are un-
alterably opposed to attempting the
establishment of the GENITAL system until
the cooperation of the other principal
boards of trade of the country can be,
secured, and will deal only upon the!
basis of the bushel except as it may be
forced to do so in the GENITAL at the calls
under constraint of the board of man.

rules adopted by the board, but to which

A FIGHTING
The American Sea Captain who Cleaned
Out the Queens s.Navee.'

The American Sea Captain who Cleaned
Out the Queens ''Navee.''
Boston Times.
We have recently heard an interest
ing anecdote by which one can deduce
a novel and adorn it into tale, of how
second thought so often prevents vast
com 2lications. There is a Yankee
skipper from Maine, we'll known as a.
coal-trader, Capt, Pitcher. He is like
most Maine men, largely proportioned
and powerful. Some wears ago he ran
the Kranz from Washington to Boston,
but has been abroad since, trading be-
tween this country and the continent.
AS the story goes, a British troop ship,
commanded by an irritable, impetuous
old duffer of the Queens ''navee," was
at anchor in q foreign port. Capt Pitch
er's bark was being piloted in, and
through some Encouragement fouled
the jibbootn of the troop ship, doing,
however, little or no damage. The old
officer in fury of rage, howled:
"Come on board, sir"
The Yankee skipper not exactly
knowing what to do under the circum.
stances, pulled in his gig to the ladder
OF the troop ship, and mounted to the
deck. He was somewhat startled when.
as he stood upon it, the old officer call
ed:
Sentry, arrest that man."
The skipper was astonished, but
quickly answered: II am an American
citizen. I am unarmed, but no man
shall arrest me-"
"Arrest him sentry. Don't you hear
me? roared the Captain.
The sentry advanced to seize the
skipper, but was met with a left-hander
that would discount pile-driver.
Quickly the Yankee made for the q ng-
way, striking down every man who in
terfered, leaping into his gig, and pulled
off to his bark. Straight to the Ame1i-
Fcan Consul he went, and put his case
before him. The latter told him he
would attend to the matter, and the next
day the skipper called. The Consul
sat at the center of the table; to his
right was the English officer, no other
than Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope, K.
G. B., in all the splendor of full uniform.
"Admiral Hope, Capt. Pitcher" in
troduced the Consul.

you" responded the Admiral. "And
now let the war go on"
He spoke in the suavest manner, and
with the sweetest of smiles. The skip
per bluntly said that he thought the
English officer should apologize.
mot at all; not, at all; no, dear friend.
You came on board my ship, whipped
the entire Queens navy, and escaped
without a scratch. Is that not sufficient
satisfaction? Don't let us have any
Alabama claim business; please don't
ask an apology; you are too good fell
low l know, to force it,"
"Well, Admiral" begun the Captain,
greatly molli6ed: "well Admiral, I
sorter guess that perhaps it's all right"
''Of course it is. We are diplomats,
and / have some splendid brandy in my
cabin. These are excellent cigars; we
will adjourn to our brandy and cigars,
and our two nations will postpone the
war. If all OF your sailors are like you

Northern Pacific railroad at 5:45 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The train had been
delayed several hours on the Dakota di.
vision, and an endeavor was being made
to recover some of the lost time. All
went smoothly until the heavy down
grade was reached, five miles west of
Motley, when the train was proceeding
at the rate OF thirty miles an hour. Sud-
denly, and while progressing at this high
speed, the rails spread. There were two
locomotives drawing the train, the first
of which shot right ahead, the coupling
between it and the second engine break
ing. The second engine, however, was
not 80 fortunate. 1t was thrown from
the track and down the embankment
into eight feet Of water, and all the coach
es were likewise cast from the rails. The
engineer and fireman went down with
the second engine, beneath which they
were buried, but were rescued almost
instantly, having sustained only slight
bruises. No one else was hurt, the
wreck was promptly cleared, and the
train arrived at O'Clock last evening
the schedule time being 7:55 An.
