good quality can be made, not only for
home use, but for foreign trade, the
manufacture of glucose assumes I'M
thought-of proportions, and it is affect
ing the trade in all classes of sacchar-
inc products. Those forecasting the
prices for amber syrup should consid-
er the peculiar condition of the market
for such goods. Up to within two or
three years, the demand for syrup was
filed by the southern product. This, of
course, will yet force itself upon the
trade in some quarter if driven from
our section, and tend to weaken the
market. Glucose is appearing every
where and nearly always as an adul-
teration; with the large number of
manufactures for the product which
are now being put in operation, the
price will be cheapened and the inclin-
alton to mix it with other syrups
greatly increased. The effect of this
can hardly be calculated, but in my
opinion cannot easily be over estimat-
ed. Then the greatly increased acre
age OF amber cane will give US a great

OF the opinion that amber syrup has
created a market for itself to such an
extent that this year twice the acreage

but when | hear that in some localities
fifty times as much as last year will be
grown, become anxious lest next fall
our syrup should go begging a market
at 20 or 25 cents a gallon. If there
was possibility for turning the syrup
into sugar the demand would be uE-
limited, but that fortunate era has not
yet dawned. If the market is over
stocked next fall this industry will
receive shock from which it will not
recover in years.

MEDICAL USES or EGGS.

For burns or scalds nothing is more
soothing than the white of an egg,
which may be poured over the wound.
1t is softer as a varnish for a burn
than collo1ion, and, being always at
hand, can be applied Immediately. It
is also more cooling than the "sWeet
oil and cotton" which was formerly
supposed to be the surest application
to allay the smarting pain. 1t is the
contact with the air that gives the ex-
treme discomfort experienced from
ordinary accidents of this kind, and
anything that excludes the air and
prevents Inflammation is the thing to
be at once applied. The egg is also
considered one of the best remedies for
dysentery. Beaten up slightly with or
without sugar and swallowed, it tends
by it's emollient qualities to lessen the
Inflammation of the stomach and in
testines, and by forming q transient
coating On the organs to enable nature
to resume her heathful sway over the
diseased body. Two or at most three
eggs per day would be all that is re-
quired in ordinary cases; and, since
the egg is not merely medicine, but
food as well, the lighter the diet other
wise and the quieter the patient is
kept, the more certain and rapid is the
recovery.

THE UNITED STATES AND
MEYTnO

One of the best signs of the times is
the growth of commercial relations be-
tween this country and Mexico. Dur
ing the past year our business men
have been waking up to the great pos
sibilities in that direction which they
have so long neglected, and the new
administration will do all in its power
to promote intercourse between the
two republics. 1t Is a remarkable fact
that our trade with Mexico steadily de-
creased from the time when she be-
came independent until 1876. The
centennial exposition drew the atten-
ton of the Wide-awake men of each
country to the resources Of the other.
and since then American goods have
begun to grow popular IN Mexico.
De Zamacona, the Mexican minister
at Washington, says that he was sur
prised on his recent visit to see how
considerably the consumption of Amer
lean goods of all sorts has increased
within the last two or three years.
Nothing is needed except better trans
portation facilities to build up a great
trade between the two countries, and
such facilities will be afforded by the
new railroads which are either being
constructed or are contemplated.
One difficulty in the way of close rela-
tions has been the Mexican suspicion
that this country was bent on getting
another slice of their territory. Gen.
Grant suffered from this suspicion
when he went to the City of Mexico
on railroad business, few weeks ago,
ard, instead of the splendid reception
given him on his visit year ago,
found nobody to greet him when he ar
rived at the capital. But he has made
a speech which must go far to dispel
this illusion. With the admirable
frankness which sometimes character
ICES him, he recalled the failure of his
San Domingo scheme as evidence that
this country doesn't want to annex
any more territory, and voiced popular
feeling exactly when he assured the
Mexicans that they needn't feel the
slightest fear of our trying to capture
them. Mizs0auEee Sentinel.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., May o. 1881.
Not only has the deadlock been
broken, but war, to speak metaphor
ically, has broken out between Senator
Conkling and the man at the other end
OF the avenue. or, as is generally un.
dersto0d, between Senator Conkling
and the Secretary of State. The senior
senator from New York has had 1t in
his power, at any time during the past
two months, to secure an executive
session, and the confirmation of the
New York appointees whose names
were yesterday withdrawn by the
| President. OF Judge Robertson's con-
firmation there is no doubt as soon as
his name is reached, and now. unless
his name is reached, none of the New
York appointees will be reached. and
Senator Conkling finds his personal and
political friends held as hostages in the
camp Of the enemy. Senator Conkling
said some time ago: IF once cross
the river, | will never come back"
Whether he has crossed the river by
his own act or not may be questioned,
but there is now an impossible chasm
between him and the executive.
The friends of Stanley Matthews are
counting fayorably on his confirmation
by the aid of Democratic votes at an
early date, or as soon as his name can
be reached. They claim to have made
thorough canvass of both sides of the
Senate, and to have found sixteen. Re
publicans and twenty-five Democrats
who will vote for him beyond question
Southern Democratic senators are said
to favor Matthews because the Presi-
dent has expressed an earnest desire to
have him confirmed, and they do not
wish to antagonize him, many of them
having favors to ask of him in the way
of patronage. .
Twenty boxes of tea, of the crop of
1881, raised on the plantation Of Mr..
John Jackson, in Georgia, arrived at
the Department of Agriculture a, few
days since. Commissioner LIE Due
sent out invitations to the leading
grocers of the city, several of whom
assembled at the Department yesterday
afternoon Tea from all the boxes was
thoroughly tested at the laboratory,
and compared with some of the best
India teas on hand in the Department
from last years crop. The city grocers
were satisfied that the home product
was as good in every respect as any of
the India teas in the market.
The handsome room of the Senate
Committee on Railroads was yesterday
the scene of a novel exhibition. A
track sixteen feet long was laid on
high office stools, with gas mains, tele-
graph wires and other addenda to ele-
waited railroads, besides four stations
and train of good-sized cars. The
invention, to exhibit which this dis
play was made, was Mr.. r. G. Jen-
ning's automatic railway signal sys-
tenn. This consists in placing gas or
electric lamps at stated intervals apart,
the space between the lamps consti-
tuting block. Connected with these
lamps is system of pipes and electric
wires, operated by valves, which are
moved by a trip lever attached to the
locomotive. This, it is claimed, makes
complete and automatic block, and
gives absolute security against acct
dents from collision.

STICK TO TT, AND SUCCEED.


Perseverance is the main thing in
life. To hold on and to hold out to the
end is the chief matter. If the race
could be won by a squirt, thousands
would wear the blue ribbon; but they
are short winded, and pull UP after the
first gauop. They begin with flying,
and end1n crawling backward. When
it comes to the collar work, many take
to jibing.
( If the apples do not fall at the first
shake of the tree, your hasty folks are
too lazy to fetch a ladder, and in too
much of a hurry to wait till the fruit
is ripe enough to fall of itself. The
hasty man is as hot as fire at the on
set, and as cold as ice at the end. He
is like the Irishman's saucepan, which
had many good points about it. but it
had no bottom. He who cannot bear
the burden and heat of the day is not
worth the salt, much less his potatoes.
We ought not to be put out of heart
by difficulties; they are sent on pur-
pose to try the stuff we are made of,
and depend upon it they do us world
of good. There's sound reason why
there are bones in our meat and stones
in our land. A world where every
thing was easy would be a nursery for
babies, but not at all a fit place for men.

LONDON LETTER.

LONDON, England, April 20, 1881.
With a milder temperature, some
slight rainfall, and several days of
bright sunshine, the wheats have re-
gained healthy color and have made
decided progress. The narrowing and
rolling which the bulk of the wheat
acreage has now received has been of
material assistance to the young plant,
and it needs now but a genial rainfall
to put the wheats into vigorous growth.
The lateness of the season has not, as
yet, afforded any condition which, by
itself, can be taken as initiating against
harvest prospects. The condition of
the wheat crop-where there is plant,
of course-is very satisfactory, not
withstanding it's exceptional backward
ness, and, providing we have an ordi-
nary rainfall in April and May, the ad.
vent of a hot, dry, and forcing summer,
should it occur, would not be against
favorable results. In the case of
spring corn, however, the possibility Of
such a contingency must now be a
source of anxiety. Arrears of spring
soWings are being fast overtaken, but
the ground is too dry on the top to
make frst-rate feed beds. The grain
markets of the past week have been
quite of a holiday character, and very
little business has been done anywhere.
There has been no actual difference in
the tone of the trade between London
and country markets, but in the latter
case supplies have been in many cases
so exceedingly short that prices have
been maintained where otherwise they
must have declined. In London and
other large port markets this influence
has been counteracted by the extrane-
Gus supplies, and at the present time
London ard. Liverpool are cheaper than
most inland markets. AT Mark-lane
on Monday Cd. to Is. per quarter re-
duction was submitted to on English
wheats, except for the very best quail
ties, and on Wednesday the rates were
nominally the same as on Monday, but
the very small amount of business
transacted was scarcely sufficient to
test values. English flour remains
unchanged in value, but the retail trade
is in a very languid condition. Barley
continues very quiet, and values are
quotably unchanged. There is no
change to note in the malt trade. Sup
plies are coming forward freely, and all
inferior qualities are very difficult to
sell. Oats rule steady for good heavy
samples, all others being in buyers
favor. Beans and peas slow and UNI
changed. The quantity Of wheat on
passage now stands at 2,5O2,5o0 qrs.
and flour equal to 1S1, 700 qrs. of wheat,
an increase on the previous weeks
figures equivalent to $4,000 qrs. of
wheat. California stands credited
with 100000 qrS. of wheat; Austral-
asia with $4,000; the Atlantic ports
of the United States with 267 900;
Chilli with $4,000; India and Egypt
with III 1000; Russia with 1880; and
Danubian provinces with $1,000 to
direct ports and ports of call. Foreign
flour meets slow consumptive de-
mand, but sales are tedious at prices
which in nearly all cases favor buyers.
In fact, all foreign breadstuffs are
cheaper to buy. The off-coast market
is now becoming tolerablg we'll sup
piled with maize, the trade for which
is very quiet in All positions.

The floods are everywhere subsid'
ing and rivers are resuming their
wonted course. This spring will long
be remembered as a season of great
freshets. The destruction Of property
has been tremendous. How dependent
upon all things pursuing the even
tenor of their way is mortal man. 1t
takes but a little overstep of nature to
scatter the fabric Of his wealth and
put his life in jeopardy. A little
more than the usual accumulation OF
winters snow, and the flood descends,
bearing away the fruits of years OF
labor, A little shaking Of the earth's
crust and the structures he has raised
.tottering, fall, and 10000 people are
buried beneath the ruins. Life is full

little by little the full nature of the
star route steals and the way they
have been managed by the ring are
coming to light. The investigation is
bringing out every day the full details
of particular steals, and the parti-
cipants are accordingly coming to grief.
The case of Blackman, Funk and
Capon, Of Philadelphia, which is now
on the docket, the full details of which
appeared in Saturdays Inter Ocean,
will serve as a sample. Blackman and
Funk, who are contractors in the star
route service, are found to be men of
not very responsible character. Black
man is a coachman, Funk lawyers
clerk, and Capon, their surety in three
separate cases, for $4,000 each, is
clerk in metal brokers office. In
looking over the records it was found
that Blackman's address was in care of
prominent factor of the star route
ring, brother-in-law to an ex-congress-
man, who is at present in Washington
representing one of the leading ring
firms. 1t is believed that Blackman.
Funk and Capon are mere tools.
Their mode of operation has been as
follows: They would put in bids for
certain routes at prices much lower
than it was possible to perform the
service for. BY the expenditure of a
little money and making lavish prom
Uses, certain individuals along the route
would be induced to begin temporary
service from the terminal points. The
certificates of postmasters along the
route would be obtained as to the per
Torrance of the service. With these
certificates, backed by petitions, in
dustriously circulated among the peo-
pie on the route, the contractors would
