The Okolona Crank Outdone.

Savannah (Ga.) Recorder, Dem.
The Southern States showed no will
ingness to come back into the Union up
on the terms offered but, with bayonets
at the breasts of our people, we were
compelled to recognize those bastard
amendments to the Constitution, the sug-
gestions from the brains of such fanatics
as Sumner, and such knaves as Stevens
Morton, Chandler and others. They are
truly bayonet amendments, and nothing
else. Universal suffrage-and negro suf-
frage in particular-was given the ne
gro, first, with the direct intent to insult
the whites of the South and secondly to
use him as an unthinking tool to keep
the Republicans in power.

Timely Caution.

Genuine Hop Bitters are Put up in
square paneled, amber-cOlored bottles,
with white label ON one side printed in
black letters, and green hop cluster, and
on the other side yellow paper with red
letters; revenue stamp over the cork.
This is the only form in which genuine
Hop Bitters are put up, and the sole
right to make, sell and use them is grant
ed to the Hop Bitters Mfg Co., of Roch-
ester, n. V, and Toronto, Ont. by pat
ents, copyright and trade mark. All
others put up in any other way or by
any one else, claiming to be like it OF
pretending to contain hops, by whatever
names they may be called, are bogus and
unit for use, and only put up to sell and
cheat the people on the credit and pop
ularity of Hop Bitters.

THE Drover's Journal presents some
well-known figures in the following
shape: The roast beef of old England is
largely furnished nowadays from the
stOckyards of Young America; and so
with the beef on the hoof. In 1875 four
millions pounds of fresh beef were sent
from this country to Great Britain; the
next year the export jumped to thirty
three millions; the year following to for
ty-nine millions, while for the past two
years it has been fOrty-four millions each.
This increase is prodigious, but it is par
alleled by that of the export of live cat
tie. In 1876 there were 81 ,593 live cattle
exported, in 1879 136,72O. In the
in the past four years there have been ex-
ported in round numbers, 300, 0,eO0 live cat
tie and 20O.OO0,OOO pounds of beef. Enor-
nous as these figures are, they still in
crease, and lately have been supplement-
ed by great shipments of live sheep and
fresh mutton. The fact that the last two
years, 1878 and 1879, had almost precisely
the same total exports fresh beef, may
indicate the reaching of maximum; but
an increase Of 20 per cent. in the live
cattle export of 1879 over 1878 may ac-
count for the lack of gain in fresh beef.
At all events, the trade is already i'm
portant and lucrative; and besides, as
Col. Sellers would say, there is all Ger
many and France that must one day be
supplied. The success of the expert
ment has been in underselling British
beef, the less agreeable side of the pict-
ure is that good American beef can Of
ten be bought cheaper at retail in En-
glIsh cities than in America

THERE are many interesting details
connected with the butchering business,
as conducted in large city, with which
the general reader is unfamiliar. Que
ries as to what becomes of this OF that
part of the beef are by no means I'M
common. To begin with, a large ma
jority of those who cater to the appetite
for animal food are Germans-the most
economical class of citizens we have, in
the matter of saving odds and ends, and
utilizing what the average American
would throw away. The typical Ger
man butcher wastes nothing which can
be used for any purpose. After dispO-
sing of the hide, steaks ,roasts, ,bOils, ,stews,
etc, he has only fairly commenced to
work up his beef for various purposes.
The head is boiled, and everything
which can be gathered from it, with the
liver, fat, trIpe, and such odds and ends
as are not made into bologna sausage,
are, in the winter season, made into
pudding" a rather unSavory but staple
diet with our German citizens. Much
less pudding is made in summer, as it
has to be used at once to prevent spoil
ing. Brains are considered delectable
dish among nearly all classes, and sell
for round price. The green tongue
sells for about fifty cents, but when
dried or cured is worth more. Kidneys
are also tid-bit, and sell readily at ten
cents earch, some really tine dishes be-
ing made from them. The tail comes in
for its share of inquiry, and takes its
place on the table in the form of ox-tail
soup. At this season of the year, when
pudding is at a discount, the butcher
makes nearly everything into bologna
sausage, and gets good price out of
what would otherwise be dead waste.
At all seasons whole animals are often
bought to be made into bologna, and "bo-
lOgna bulls" are regularly required
kind of stock. The average butcher
will kill from to head of cattle per
week, and many 10, II and Is mead in
the same time. Very few sell less than
three head. A large amount of small
stock is used along with the beeves. va
rying in kind according to the season.
A butcher who kills from to cattle
per week will take from to head each
of hogs, sheep. lambs and calves, hogs
being confined to the late fall, winter
and early spring months, and sheep,
lambs and calves being served up most
literally in spring and summer.-Pitts-
burgh Stockman.

Secretary Sherman.

No man can point to a blemish on the
private reputation or public record of
John Sherman. He is what Abraham
Lincoln termed plain man of the peo.
pie, rising from poverty by his own ex.
ertions to the highest fame. There is
no taint of corruption odorizing his po.
litical garments. No public officer ever
made fewer professions or exhibited bet
ter performances. He is what the demo.
Gratis truly say, "the dangerous man to
the Democratic party."-Dayton Journal

A dastardly attempt was made, last
week at New York, to take the life of
the Spanish Consul, General Hypolito de
Uriarte. He was sent, by the would-be
assassin, a package by mail from Phila-
delphia, apparently harmless, but in
reality loaded with powder and nitro
glycerine 50 arranged that, when opened,
it would explode. The plan miscarried,
the explosion was only partial and the
Consul but slightly injured. Detectives
are working up the matter.

How the ''PiOneers'' Fell Ont.

An old pioneer sat in Michigan ave-
nue. grocery yesterday, stroking his
white beard and telling the group there
that he had seen a dozen such seasons
as this, when in came a second old piO-
neer who had seen just as many wolves
and bears in olden daOs, and who felt
his Importance just as much. The two
eyed each other askance, and directly
the first observed:
Seems to me you are looking poorly
for man only seventy-two years old"
Poorly snapped the other, "why, L
sawed quarter of cord of wood this
morning and went to market twieel
never felt better in my life, but it seems
to me that you have weak eyes"
weak eyes! Why can read print
without glasses; my eyes were never
keener than now.
Lets see which has the best eyes,"
remarked the grocer's clerk, as he took
a card from his pocket, and the two old
pioneers cheerfully agreed.
The card was red on one side and blue
on the other, and the clerk held it so
that only one could see at time. The
first pioneer took Il Squint and called
out:
blue rs whetStonel Can't fool my
eye ON that"
The red side was turned as the other
looked, and he called out:
Guess this is your blue dayl If that
card isn't red then I'll never pitch any
more hayr'
The other looked again, saw the blue
side, and sneeringly remarked:
I'D hate to have your eyes! That
card is no more red than blue-bird."
"Do you mean to insult me ?" demand
ed the other. won't stand nosueh talk
from any man. say it's Ied!"
"And l say it's bluel Don't try to
bulldoze me, sir"
Who's bulldozing you9"
While one sat down in basket Of
clothes-pins, the other burned his elbow
on the stove. Both made rush for the
door, to seek Justice and a warrant,
and there they collided and sat down on
the floor. The one who got out first
hurried up the street, and the other
down. and each was saying to himself:
"rll see whether man who fit lnjuns
on the site of Detroit can be assaulted
and battered in this way."-Free Press.
