Fruit and Vegetable Canning.
The wonderful increase in the bus
mess of putting up fruits, vegetables,
etc, in cans, whereby supplies of
these useful articles are afforded to
the masses at reasonable prices the
year round, affords pleasing indica-
ton of the progress of civilization
and division of labor. Take the ar
ticle of tomatoes, for example. No
less than 2,l60,l23 cases Of "A cans
each, or 81, 322,S52 cans, were pack
ed in the United States in 1882, or
nearly one third more than in any
previous year A single can of good
tomatoes is now obtainable at ten
cents, against 40 or 50 cents fifteen
or twenty years ago.
Within the past dozen years the
number of establishments engaged in
this industry has more than quad
rupled, and the value of yearly pro-
ducts has more than trebled. In
1870, ninety seven houses We're re-
ported in the business; in 1880 the
number had increased to All. In
the former year the value of the pro =
ducts was S.. 400, 900; in the latter it
amounted to $l7, 100000. The de
tails, if given, would show a cores
ponding increase in the number OF
articles canned. Formerly but COM
paratively few things were preserved
in this way. Now, about every KIND
of fruit, vegetable, meat and fish is
put up for use i'll any season or any
place. Great as the growth of this
industry has been in the past ten
years, it is likely to be greater in the
coming decade. 1t is, indeed, likely
to become a great American indus
try, but there is room for invention
to displace the tin can, at least, for
fruits or vegetables that have acid
iuirrS.

The Trade Dollar Nuisance

The war on the trade dollar reached
this place on Monday last, since
which time they pass current at but
eixhty.hve cents.
Small communities have no option
in a matter Of this kind, but to com
NV with the custom, even though 1t
be as in this instance, but an unreas-
enable craze or which is equally prob,
able a gigantic speculation. This Is
the second time that this miserable
pretsnse of coin has unsettled trade
in small dealings and if We remem ber
Alright, the discount then demanded
was the same as row, fifteen cents.
1t certainly requires no argument
to prove that holders who parted with
them at that time for eighty'tive ce nts
lost fifteen and that those who held
them when the movement ceased
made fifteen cents. Now, in the
plainest possible form, this was a
swindle, for if they returned to the
value of one hundred cents, there
never was any legitimate reason for
their falling to eighty-fve; as they
did return to one hundred cents,witl
all the f.icts Of their worth known
then, there is little reason to doubt
that in like manner they will again
return and those who part with them
will lose and those who receive and
hold them will make fifteen per cent
on the deal.
That the government should by its
inaction permit its currency to work
such an amount Of petty annoyance
is not right and that it should stamp
a piece OF silver weighing 40 grains
and another weighing '4l2! grains
and by refusing to receive or make a
legal tender OF the former reduce 1t
to value fifteen (l364 to be more
corrccN below the latter is matter
that borders upon absurdltv, cspe-
.ially when but the paltry sum OF
less than $40, 900, 900 were coined and
great proportion OF which are out
of the country. We are decidedly OF
the opinion that this is species OF
midsummer madness and that those
who receive the Trade Dollar at
eiyhty-hvc cents and has spare CAPT.
tai enough TO hoard them, possibly
for six months, will find that he has
made an investment that will net
him aproft at the rate Of so per cent
rer annum. by their return to par
At any rate he will make legal inter-
est on his money, or three per cent.
in six months, for, if at the end OF
that time he should despair of their
return to par, he can dispose of them
at their bullion value, which is now
something over three per cent. more
than eighty five cents.
The reason why a nation such as
ours, should permit even the possibil-
ity of anything so monstrously absurd
IN its currency is, as Dundreary was
wont to say, lone of those things that
no tellah can find out"

Besides the people here thought that

The fight against the Trade Dollar
has broken out again, and wholesale
dealers are determined to force it out
of circulation. Grocers aud other
retail dealers will be the heaviest suf-
ferers from this at first, because the
middle and lower classes with whom
they deal as a rule pay with trade
dollars. Factories and other large
concerns which employ great num-
hers Of men as a rule pay with trade
dollars which they frequently buy at

From Dlmietta, the first place IN
Egypt where the disease manifested
itself, it has assembled the eastern
branch Of the Nile as far as ManSoo-

from the fact that on the 10Th OF

death OF lib persons, out of q total
population of 10000. and at Nansoo-
reh. ON the day following, - persons
succumhcd to it. Should the disease
ascend the Nile to Cairo, where the
bulk Of the English army of oc"Npa-
ton Is encampcd, serious results
might be anticipated. Butaccordlne
to Lord Harrington every precautlon
has been taken to guard the troops
in Egypt against it, and the panic
that followed the first announcement
Of it presence has already measulably
subsidized. Happily the disease is not
difficult to guard against, though cx-
tremely difficult to master when once
it gains Il footing, Considering the
facilities which foreign trade creates
for the introduction of the cholera in
to our Atlantic ports, it behooves the
custodians Of the public health to be
well on their guard.
The United States Mint at Phila-
delphia, is now turning out about a
ton of silver a day, most of it being

daily, which amount scarcely supplies
the demand. Three-quarters Of a
ton of pennies are made daily, and
the demand is equal to the supply.

All the preliminaries have been arranged
for the boat race at Wsllsburg, to-day, be-
tween Clator and Layberger, the money,
$500 a side, having been deposited and
referee and Judges selected. The men
have been praCticing daily and are in good

splendid race. T. C.. Adams will be the
referee, and if the race is square, it will be
a good one. Clator has been in q good

WeiSgerber once, and Boil one. Layberger,
the man against whom he rows 10 day,
