which the general reader needs in order
to understand the discussions on the
subject now so frequent in cultivated
circles as well as in the journals. "On

deals with incidents which, if not very
probable, are vividly told. There are
several poems, by Philip Bourke Mars

ment and variety of papers in the edi
torial department. A new serial, enti-
tied Fairy Gold," will commence in the
July number and run through the rest
of the year.

In speech in New York the other
day, Comptroller Knox gave an inter
esting illustration to show the small
part which gold and silver played in the
business transactions of the banks. If
the receipts or payments of the banks of
the country, he said, were to be made ex-
clusively in gold and silver coin, the to
tai coinage of the year, amounting to
S1O6, 900, would be sufficient only to
supply the banks of the country in max
ing payments for one hour and forty
minutes. The national banks of the
City of New York alone would exhaust
the amount in about three hours, and if
used exclusively by the banks outside
the City of New York it would be ex
hausted in about four hours.

of the decision:

THE Washington Republic publishes
the following chapter of history regard
ing the origin of the Peruvian claims,
about which there has been so much
controversy during the past winter:
"A long, long time ago there dwelt in
the Republic of Peru a poor but enter
prising Frenchman named Alex. Cochet
He had an iRquiring turn of mind, was
something of chemist, and made some.
scientific discoveries as to the uses and
qualities of the guano deposits, which
are the principal product of that country.
He likewise made similar discoveries as
TO nitrates, which are also found there
in great quantity. The Peruvian Gen.
gress, on his petition, awarded him as a
recompense for his guiana discoveries
5000 tons of the article, but on condi-
tion that he would reveal all that he
knew about the nitrates. The condition
was not accepted, and Cochet returned
to Ia belle France, leaving behind him
an unsatisfed claim and an illegitimate
son named Gelacio Cochet. The father
died in France, and Gelacio claimed to
be the inheritor of anything of value be-
us
ly thing was this paternal claim against
the Government; but as the award had
been made and rejected, and did not
seem to be very valuable inheritance.
However, Pennsylvania Dutchman
named Havener discovered Gelacio, and
for some trife procured from him an as
signment of his claim. In course of
time it made its way into the possession
of some New York speculators, who
were soon metamorphosed into a joint
stock corporation entitled the Peruvian
Company, with the now famous Jacob
r. Shipherd as its promoter, President,
counsel, diplomatist and chief man of
business. The claim itself had now at
tained enormous proportions. Il was
no longer mere appeal to the generosi-
ty OF the Peruvian Government, but a
formal demand for one-third of all the
guano existing in Peru and of all that
had been removed since the time of Co
chefs diScoveries-the whole claim
amounting to at least a Thousand mil
lion Of dollars. This was based upon
decreee which offered to the finders of
concealed church property (at time
when it was all cOnfscated) One-third of
its value. Then there was another claim,
also of Frenchman, named Landreau,
in connection with the actual finding of
the guano deposits. ard this claim pass
ed practically under the control or man.
agement of Mr.. Shipherd. 1t was, how
ever. only for comparatively small
amount (anywhere between seven mil
lions and three hundred millions). IL
had come into American hands by the
fact of Landreau having a brother here,
who was partner with him in his con-
tract, who became naturalized and who
is now in the service of the United States
as Consul at Santiago de Cuba"

A Wool BuVer on Wool.

| EDITOR CHRONICLE: season being near
at hand when farmers will be washing and
clipping wool, thought that perhaps some
general remarks might be of interest to both
the farmer and dealer. Notwithstanding we
live in wool growing county there seems TO
/ be but little done by the farmer in breeding
and preparing his wool for market. This,
perhaps, may be almost entirely owing to the
lack of just and proper discrimination on the
part of buyers. In our section the buyer pays
about the same price for each clip, whereas
one clip will often be worth five to eight
cents per pound more than an other on account
of not only its growth, but condition. Thus
the buyers have educated the farmer to pro-
cure heavier wool, and get all the grease into
it possible, as he sees by long observation that
there is no inducement offered by the buyer
for him to increase tine grade and condition of
his wool. Every intelligent farmer knows
the best woods of the United States are raised
in small section of Eastern Ohio, Western
Pennsylvania, and the pan handle of West
Virginia. These woods command the highest
price in the eastern market, at least have done
so for some years. Now if this reputation is
to be maintained there must be more attention
paid to breeding and condition. By condition
is meant whether the tleeces are clear of
grease and bright, or whether they are greasy
and dark. The more fleece loses in securing
the less it is worth to manufacturer, and
the percentage of loss by securing is always
taken into account by the judicious buyer.
Here allow me to say to the farmer that when
he has a clip ready for market, and all or a
portion of it is not in proper condition, and q
buyer comes and proposes to buy it without
any reduction, he may be positively certain of
one Of two things-that the buyer is not
judge of wool and is therefore paying too
much for the wool, or, on the other hand, he
is not Offering the market price for merchant
able wool. Wool should always be sold on its
intrinsic merit. l feel justified in saying to
the farmers that this year more than formerly
wool will be bought more strictly upon its
merits than for many years past; and it is to
be hoped that wool growers will prepare for
this Wash well, do not allow the sheep to
run too long after washing, and then tie with
a proper quantity of twine, and don't attempt
to add to the weight of the fleece by stufing.
Lastly, let me say, put your wool in the very
best condition and hold it at the very top of
the market and you will get it. And to the
local buyer let me say, pay full price
only for well washed fleece, and obtain fair
reduction on all poorly washed. Look out
for stuffed fleeces. In this connection | must
say there is growing complaint from eastern
manufacturers about the negligence of Ohio
farmers in getting up their wool. Farmers
look to it that the reputation Of our wool be
fully maintained. Wool BUYER.
