Miss Anna Dickinson denies the re-.
port that she had declared against wom-
an suffrage, and explains her views,
which are, in brief, that there is too
much voting now, voting that is both ig-
norant and venal; that no man ought to
be able to control the destlnies of other
people by means Of constitution and
laws who is no. able at least to read
them; that, while intelligent men vote
she believes in intelligent women voting,
that while venal men sell their franchise
it is but fair that venal women should
enjoy like monstrous privilege; and
that while brutes are backed with this
additional means Of brutality and i'm.
punity, through rum shops and police
courts of travestied justice, she believes
in the life companions of these brutes
having in hand staff of protection and
defense. Miss Dickinson is not very
logical, and her conclusions are demor-
alizing, as applied to other things, as well
as to voting, and are of no consequence
out from the public notoriety she
has achieved in various ways.

that the amount OF beer produced in the
United States in the year ending May l,
1880, WAS 1880 600 barrels, and in the

the year it was made, and not drop left

The much abused Vennor can hardly
be called a prophet not without honor
save in his own country, for he gets little
glory from any source or section. He
predicted for October, in Canada, a very
severe month of rain, hail, frost and
snow. and, as consequence, the month
has been unusually mild and delightful.
In proof Of the assertion it is said that
wild raspberries have been picked at
Sault aux Recollect, seven miles from
Montreal, within the past few days. The
feelings Of Canadians toward Vennor are
more Of the nature of than ktulness than
admiration.

Through out the Northwest the month
OF October has been marked by its mel.
low weather, and almost perfect repose.
Local exceptions are too rare to be men
toned. The workings of nature have
been carried on more silently during
this month than any other in the year.
IN fact, it appears like pause before
the wintry storms set in store and its re-
cord made up, and the month may be
llkened unto breathing spell ere nature
and man enters upon the activities of a
new season. At no period of the year
has nature been robed more picturesque
ly than during the reign of the nut
brown maid," October. There are none,
artizan or producers, that can find fault
with the mild manners of the month lust
going on record, and scarcely any one
has valid excuse if he finds himself un-
prepared for the rigors of winter.

\ German writer, Emil Decher, con.
troverts the idea that North America is
to overwhelm Europe in products and
commerce. He says that Europe has a
foreign commerce twice as great as all
the rest Of the world; that she pre-
dominates in all other productions; pro.
duces four times as much coal and iron
asNorth America, three tines as many
cattle, four times as many sheep, three
times as much grain, four times as much
wheat; and has two and half times as
mnch horse power IN steam engines
Europe is something yet" says the
Cincinnati Gazette, land is holding her
own, while we are skinning our rich
lands. We ought to know that she is
something when We import from her to
the value of S700,OO0,OO0 year, when
the shipping Of Europe is increasing
while ours is disappearing from the
ocean, and when Great Britain alone
has driven our ships from every sea,
and is carrying nearly all our own ex-
port and import trade"

Chicago fresh beef sent on daily to
New York in refrigerator cars has caused
agitation among the metropolitan whole
salers Of meat. The prices of the Chica-
go steaks are from one to three cents
cheaper than the home steaks. The N. Y.
Sun says that in six hours one shop in
Second avenue sold Chicago beef over
the counter to LILO persons, independ-
ent Of hundreds of other orders sent inl
1t is believed that prices will go still
lower and that soon, for time at least,
the poor man can afford to taste sirloin
steak. 1t is rumored that parties inter-
ested in New York killed beef are forming
d pool of 81 100000 with which to break
down Chicago competition. They will
probably find chat there is money in
Chicago as we'll as in New York, and that
there are men there who know thing
or two about pools.

February Meeting Of North Ameri-
cam Poultry AssOciaai0m.

The Times Democrat
After regular business, the subject of
incubation was thoroughly discussed, and
the following facts substantially estab-
lished: That the only way to raise chick
ems with certainty, for early markets, is
by the use of incubators that good in
cubator will hatch from 20 to 80 per cent.
OF the eggs put in it; that people living
in cities, who have not room to keep hens,
can use incubators successfully, getting
eggs from grocers or farmers near by !:
that with special care 200 chickens may
be raised to market size in a room Is feet
square; that the business of raising poul-
try is particularly adapted to ladies' and
intirm people, both in city and country ;
that live chickens, from g to IL weeks
old, will sell in the East, in April, NAV,
June and July, from 40 to IS cents a
pound, or from 81 to $3.50 each, accord
ing to the variety and condition. As the
mass of people are ignorant of the profits
of poutry-raising, cannot afford to buy
expensive incubators, and do not know
that they can make good, cheap incu-
bator themselves, with which to hatch
both early and late chickens, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Res3tced, That the secretary of the
North American Poultry Association be
authorized to inform the people, through
leading newspaper in each State, that
plain directions and diagrams for making
a good incubator, that they can make at
home, at cost of less than s5, and that
will hold $50 eggs, can be obtained by
addressing our secretary, inclosing two
three-cent stamps for return postage.
At the next meeting the subject, How,
when and where to market poultry to
obtain the highest prices" will be dis
cussed and the results made known to
the public.

"A Washington dispatch saws that
General Rosecrans is now satisfied that
the Garfeld-Chase letter is genuine, and
that he is advised that other letters from
Garfield of like import are in existence
that will shortly reach the public through
the press that he will await for time
the publication of these letters before re-
plying, bat ut no distant day the public
will hear from him in vindication of his
military career from the aspersions cast
upon il by General Garfield, and that
when he shall be heard he has no doubt
rs to the verdict of the people and of
history in the premises. Mr.. Jacob W.
Shuckers, who was at one time private
secretary of Mr.. Chase, says there can be
no doubt whatever as to the genuineness
of the Garfield letter already published,
or as to that Of others which he SAYS he
has in his possession, and which, either for
the public good or in justice to various
individuals, may hereafter be given to the
world. The letters of the Judge were
put in Mr.. Shuckers' hands by Mrs. Kate
Chaee-Sprague and her sister, for the
purpose Of helping him to compile .
biography of their father The frst one
was taken to New York by Mr.. Shuckers
the other day, with the intention of offer
ing it to Mr.. Dana, of the Sssn. That
gentleman, rs soon as he saw it, pounced
upon It, and intimated that he would be
very glad to make it avAilAbie in his col
umns, which he proceeded to do.
