In the examination before the Board

In the examination before the Board
OF Trade in Chicago some months ago, il
reference to the adulteration OF hog lard,
one OF the witnesses testified that he had
'put in the rendering tanks the fat OF
hogs, sheep and cattle, skimmerinss and
swcepings from the butterine taos, anC
sweepings and skimmerings from the
canning rooms." We have no objectio,
to sound tallow, mutton TT or hogs lard,
but when they are combined with the
''sweepingS and skimmerings" of the
dirty tubs and floors, we must confess
that the amalgamated mass is not at
sweet scented as the altar Of roses. Per-
haps it can be safely said that the fat o.
sheep or cattle is as healthy us that
hogs, but to mix all these even pure artl
cles with the dirt and trash of tubs, can
and floors, does look like an imposition
upon the delicately organized stomach.
But such is lard manufactured inChicago,
unless the witnesses lied, and their testi-
mony was not disproyen. The remedy
fortliis is two ways. Use purely refined
cotton seed oil, or let our farmers rails,
their own meat and make their own lard
and enough to spare for the town people. I.

A Man That Twice was King.

Joseph Bonaparte was very affable man.
He liked to tell occurrences walking up and
down after dinner. One day, having come to
talk of the Inquisition and Llorente, he said to
me: "Llorente was my chaplainl he was a

Some Comforting Statistics.

The annual report of Gen. Merritt, or
consul-general in Great Britain, excites
lively comment in the tight little isle.
Among other things Gen. Merritt points out
that while here only one person in 2S5 is
pauper, in England the proportion is one in
35. He also shows that the reduction in
the English national debt is not as great in
the year as our reduction often is In month.
He gives the somewhat startling informa-
tion that one out Of every SO of the G, 60O,-
600 houses in the United Kingdom is ell
gagged in the sale of intoxicating liquors.
The English press is not quite willing to ac-
cep' his statement that many small farmers
with capital of from $500 to 50, 500 are ak
ious to quit England, and emigrate to this
country because of the agricultural depres-
sion, if they only could get trustworthy IN
formation as to the value a. fertility of
land in different parts of the United States.
The consul-general is very severe upon ''the
scandalons practice of some European gov
ernments in shipping vagrants, lmbecies,
confirmed inebriates, and scoundrels who.
having run the course of their jails for years.
ha We been pronounced incorrigible" Up
on this complaint the Err glish press does
not care to dwell, and treats very disingen-
uousIy those parts upon which it does dwell.
The contrasts and comparisons made by
Gen. Merritt are very comforting reading
this side the water.

receives no mercy at the hands of his exas-

bill which, after the expected Democratic

taking the offices, is an offense too heinous
to BIZ forgotten or condoned by any Ohio
Democrat. The Cincinnati Enquirer. after

of its former idol, gravely informs It's read
ers that Pendleton is an Imperialist and a
candidate for the next Republican nominal

By the latest figuring of the agricultural
bureau at Washington it is reported the corn
crop of 1882 is placed at 1886, 100000 bush
els, and the yield of wheat at 510,OoO,O 900
bushels. Up to 1879 the maximum yield of
Indian corn in this country (which occurred
in that year, was 1,547, 9o1 900 buahels.
Last years crop, by the above estimate, ex-
ceeds that of 1879 by $1,000, 900 bushels, and
falls only about 2O7, 100000 bushels under
the crop of 1880. The latest official estimate
of the last years wheat crop places it at
about 100000 bushels more than that of
1878, 100000 more than that of 1870 and
50000,000 more than that of 1880.

THE foreign trade of this country for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1882, Vas not as
large as that of the previous year by nearly
seven per cent, but the imports of merchan-
disc were the largest we have ever had, the
exports of merchandise being also the lar
gest save those of the years 1880 and 1881.
The decrease of the exports for the year
1882 was occasioned in the main, doubtless,
by the lessened crops of cotton, wheat and
corn in 1881.

Ex-Gov. John P. st. John, on the
grand stand in the presence of ten
thousand people, take each other
by the hand and pledge themselves
toa never ceasing warfare upon the
whisky curse, was a grand sight.
There they stood, fair representa-
tives of two great sections of the
country. Brooks representing ev-
erything from the southern stand
point, and a Democrat; St. John
the opposite. Each had served his
section in the army during the CIV
il war; each forgetting the past /;
each looking to the future and the
lifting up of the whole country to
a higher, purer, brighter, and bet
ter civilization each recognizing
in the besotting influence Of whis
ky the great enemy to his country
and kind. These men stood and
the late rebel was cheered and
cheered, and cheered again by the
Kansas Jayhawkers, and the voice
of the whole multitude went up in
applause, and men right there in
that hour were strengthened in
their purposes and thousands said
cause SO true and holy as that
which binds in the bonds Of love,
men from the antipodes Of political
life cannot but be good. and with
Missouri and Kansas marching at
the head of the Column; with the
temperance banner flung to the
breeze, with Brooks and st. John
and such leaders, the time is not
far distant when the sunlight Of
sobriety will pierce with it's inspir-
ing rays the sorrow stricken home
Of the victim of drink, and these
grand men will take him by the
hand and lift him up, and start him
on his road to manhood and honor.

wealths shall lift up their voice,
