Night Scenes in a New York Market.

Describing the famous Washington
market q New York correspondent
says: The regular market closes at
o'clock in the afternoon, in order that
the parties may rest for the next day
traffic. The stalls are placed in the
care of Waterman, each of whom
serves score of employers and re-
ceives enough to pay him $50 per
week. BY dark the entire market is
deserted, but toward 10 o'clock signs
of business reappear, and by midnight
the preparation is in full force. The
market is ablaze with gaslight. Here
at the wholesale meat stalls one may
see the huge wagons loaded with quar-
tiers of beef, which are quickly hung
up on appropriate hooks. Each quar-
ter is marked with its owners initials,
and a commission of ten per cent. is
charged About 500 quarters of beef
are here sold daily. There, too, are
the long rows of slaughtered swine glis-
tening in the gaslight like an array of
ghosts, while on either side carcasses
of mutton stud the stalls. These are
fresh from the slaughter-houses, and
will be gone before next day at II
O'Clock. Five hundred muttons are an
average daily business. Here, too, are
long rows of swine hrslets, which bring
ten cents each, and also beef livers,
which sell at twenty cents. They are
bought by sausage makers, and also by
dealers in blood buildings, an article
which finds sale in New York, though
most Of our readers would refrain from
its use even at the expense of hunger,
By O'Clock the entire market, en-
bracing four acres, is astir, and the
watchmen have gone home to rest.
The array of fruit and vegetables which
greets the eye on every side, embraces
everything that our continent can pro-
duce within space of 900 miles. The
hardest work is now to be done for
six hours, during which time 5000 re-
tail grocers with their wagons will visit
the spot to lay in their stock for the
days trade. You can hear the rattle
of their distant wheels, and in half an
hour the vanguard of this army will be
on the ground. Whata mob this place
will present in the course of two hours!
what tumult, what chatting, what oaths,
what wriggling of wheels to get through
tho in, pacted street

stricken from the list of members OF
the bar, and she would no longer be al
lowed to practice in the courts. AS

three or four thousand dollars year

by which there splendid and benefcient
results have been established. Vast
aggr egations OF credit and capital as
they are created by the great corpora
tons, could alone have built these
roads and established them as connect
ing lines leading to millions of homes
spreading out fan-shaped, from the
great commercial centers to the i'm.
mense radius of wheat fields, pastures,
forests and mines where the property
which they transport is produced, and
forming unbroken channels Of com
merce between the most distant points
of the country. These aggregations of
capital are formed under the laws, and
are fostered and regulated by the con.
tracts with the state under which they
were created. They should, of course,
also be restrained by law, and aggres-
sion upon private rights, extortion and
wrong should be resisted. But simply
because they are corporations, because
they are powerful in their resources and
capabilities, does not destroy the fact
that they have been of incalculable
benefit to mankind and to civilization,
and that we can hardly conceive of an
evil which they might cause that we
would not cheerfully endure rather than
to have them obllterated from exis-
tence.

Value of Our Butter and Cheese

At home $1,000, 100000 are invested
in pasture lands and 100000 in
mich cows. Besides the many .hous-
ands of our domestic diaries, which de-
lieh5 the palates of millions of our
horne people, are 5000 manufactures
Of cheese. And yet of the thirty seven
states only about seven supply their
own consumption of cheese and butter,
even with the tens of thousands of pri-
vate diaries in the country. The value
of the butter and cheese produced in
the United States, and of the large
amount exported, presents almost in
comprehensive results TO those who
have not become acquainted with this
industry.
OF butter the make is 1900, 100000
pounds, and of cheese 350,000,000
pounds. and the export of cheese this
year will be 100000 pounds, and of
butter at least 130,000.000 pounds.
Here is value to the country Of $780,
100000, and only the entire corn crop
is in excess of it in value, while cotton,
and wheat, and hay, and oats, aud po-
tatoes are all dethroned as kings add
princes in favor of butter and cheese;
and no part of the old world approx
mates in the raising of COWS to the new,
where there are % COWS to every 100
persons. and hence the increase of SO
per cent. production this year, with a
like increase of exports. It is proper,
however, to say that 107 1863, 666 pounds
ofcheese exported last year not a pound
went TO France on account OF the pro-
hlbitory tariff.

false Impressions on the subject OF
Health

Are eagerly encouraged by those who endeayort to
hoodwink the public as 10 the mode of its attain
ment. Vague statements as to the causes of dis
ease are coupled by such nostrum vendors with
groundless and preposterous claims az to the in
fanihility of the remedy. Widely different from
the above has been the course pursued in relation
to uostetter's Stomach Btters. Only plain sub
stantiable and reasonable allegations have been
anti-billous medicine, preventive and remedy
for malarial fever, and a benefeent corrective of
weakness and irreguarity Of the stomach and
bowels, are facts which the American people have
had ample opportunity for verifying during the
last quarter of century. Ii btnishes the mental
dependency begotten of dyspepsia, as well as its
originating cause, promotes appetite and sleep
