NEW YORK, August 26-The close Of the
weeks return OF sales shows that business
with jobbers has been very good, much larger
than supposed. A large number of buyers
are present from all sections. Advices an.
nounce that a larger number will be here the
coming week. At first hands the market has
been quiet in demand to-day, while a large
distribution of specislties has been made.
That such volume Is not greater ia due to
the absence of stocks. The tone of the mar
ket is very steady. An improved business is
expected for the coming week.

The Beacon Light OF safety Needed.

In the act making appropriation for sundry
civil expenses of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1855, is embodied a
clause which reads as follows: That all
parties owning, occupying or operating
bridges over any navigable river shall main
tam at their own expense, from sunset TO
sunrise, throughout the year, such lights on
Ineir bridges as may be required by the
Lighthouse Board for the security of naviga-
ton; and. in addition thereto, ali persons
owning occupying or operating any bridge
over any navigable river shall in any event
maintain all lights on their bridge that NAV
be necessary for the security of navigation"
In the opinion of Commander J. j. Read.
this clause makes it compulsory that ali
bridges must be lighted, whether the iuris-
diction of the Lighthouse Board is ex-
tended over the river or not. This re-
1ers especially 10 the Illinois river.
where there are any number of railroad
prlages, none OF which are graced with the
beacon Of safety. The river men desire that

tion to the fact that soil and climate are fa- vorable to the laying down of land to perma- nent pastures, and therefore to the produc- ton of meat and dairy produce of high quail ty. Last year this colony had mine times more land in English grasses than all Victo- ria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia put together" For six years past the sowing of these grasses, he says, has been extended at the rate of 3OO,OO acres year, (which means" adds the agent, "that New Zealand meat and dairy stuff will be coming to England in refrigerator chambers, not only in large quantities, but (what is more to the purpose) in exceptionally good condition" The agent is not without his point against American meat. If, " he says, in the concluding paragraph to his published letter, 'the land owners and farmers of Eng land have to look at these food supplies from the other side of the world as a 'prodigious fact, they will remember how much better it is for England to receive the food from her own kith and kin than from those who may one day be her enemies"

A man at Manchester. N. H, dreamed that he was chasing rabbit and he jumped from third story window and broke both legs. He was awful mad to think he woke up before he caught the rabbit.-B0stO71 Post.

 An utterly too young married lady with a still tooer husband, living in one of the fashionable homes CD of the day, worked a motto with the inscription, 'God Bless Our Flat" And @ neighbor to whom it was shown had the hardihood to ask her whether she referred to her residence or her husband -NtagarG Democrat.
 A certain clerk in a western village recent ly made the following comment on Pocahon tas Said he: 'tPocahontas was a great man Pocahontas was @ kind-hearted man. !"

 Seven young ladies were perceived in 8 horse car, of whom not one had both gloves on, and none were wholly bare e-handed. Of these four had gloves on their right hands and three on their left, and in every instance the ungloved hand lay in the lap above the other All of the seven bare hands had dia mond rings upon them, and whenever any attentions were needed by the hair or raj ment of the ladies in every instance the un- gloved hand was employed to bestow them, and in the necessary movements the stones flashed and glittered very much. And when, as happened in process of time, the seven young ladies left the car one after the other. four of them waved their lsft hands to the conductor to direct him to stop, and the other three agitated their right hands, and again the rings sparkled quite copiously. All of which was very curious and interesting to the scientific mind.-B0St0Ts Journal.

Cocoanut Shells as Spice.

''What do you do with your coeoanut shells?" asked Raoorf reporter of promi- nent candy manufacturer. ''Sell them to be made into pepper" '" said he {; and the aroused curiosity of the reporter was not quieted by his statement that the shells were really ground and used by spice men to adulterate pepper and other of their wares. Further investigation showed that a factory where the shells are ground up is in Camden, and is g one story brick building. the capacity of the mill being about two tons of ground shells per day. The shells are brought to the factory in bags and deposited in the roasting depart ment. Here they are carefully scrsped and put in great revolving ovens, which are con- stsutly kept turning over beds of blazing coal Some of the shells are roasted to light brown. while others come out crisp and black After being carefully sorted, the dark shells are put in hoppers in the grinding depart ment and reduced to fine powder, like pep per. The brown shells are not ground so fine, and come from the mill looking exactly like ground coffee. This Camden factory is said to have been in operation for about a month. The shells cost very little, and the milling is done at an expense of about ? or 21 cents per pound
 A representative of leading spice house, in speaking of this novel preparation, said that while his house had not used it, he sup posed it was 8 harmless adulteration for spices. We have our own method or sdul teration," said be- ''and sell to the trade probably more adulterated goods than pure. We can't help it. There is no pretense on our part that the lower grades of spices are pure We simply sell the retailer what he wants. We sell them spices at almost any figure. Pepper, for instance, as low as eight and nine cents, but it is about as much some thing else as it is pepper. It would ruin the trade to prohibit adulteration, and, besides r,oF E,,r l. the United States alone if nothing but pure spices were sold. We are constantly making experiments to discover the cheapest harm less foreign matter with which mix our goods in order to supply the demand for the lower grades"
 The powder made from ground cocosnut shells has fine color, and on account of it's weight and appearance is considered by spice dealers to be choice adultsrsting material

 Why is it that the officials of our beautiful ''City of Elms'' are so dilatory in making preparations for celebrating the coming Fourth of July, the greatest of all nat ional holidays?
