Business Of the Port.

Some statistics published on the fourth
page will give pleasure to those who care
fully watch the growth of the city in its com
mercial business. These figures relate to
the business of the custom house for the
two financial years, ending June 80, 1882,
and June 80, 1888. 1t appears that the
amount of duties assessed on merchandise
for the latter year was $275, 1884. 60 in excess
of the amount for the previous year; that
the official fees accruing to the government
were greater by $1,779.43; that the increase
in the value of exports was 81, 3S2, 019,
(more than 10 per cent? that the increase
in the number of entries of vessels aud
sealed cars was 2106 almost 81 per cent. J,
and that the increase of clearances of YES
sells and sealed cars was 458. 1t appears
further,-and this is a testimony to in
creased efficiency of administration, that
Notwithstanding the increase of busin ess
the expenses of the customs service at this
port were not increased but declined, and
that the fines, penalties and forfeitures col
lected in the latter year were S4,O15.1 II
against but $48927 the previous year, the
net gain to the government in the two
items being $9,966.14.
Comparing Portland with other cities it
appears that seventeen ports in this country
lead Portland in the value of their exports
of merchandise of domestic origin; that
eleven exceed 1t in the amount of aggregate
receipts from custom house business, and
that only one port, that of New York, dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1888, exported
more merchandise of foreign origin, the
value of these expectations from New York

The success of the McEnery faction in
the Louisiana Democratic State convention
insures another term of the bad govern
ment which has disgraced that State since
McEnery came into power. as be will prob
ably be elected at all hazards. The bet
ter class of Democrats seem to have made
sincere effort to turn the rascals out;r but.
as generally happens, when the decent por-
ton Of the Democracy undertake any re-
form, they found themselves handicapped
by the fact that the friends of the rascals
were in the majority. McEnery seems to
be the champion of all that is bad in Loui-
siana politics. he is the avowed friend of
the lottery ring, and was recently accused
of being at the head of land ssindle We
have been frequently told that it was the
negro only that stood in the way of good
government at the South. But McEnery
and the corrupt rings that support him are
whites.

w estern Compliments.

The selection of Chicago as the place for
holding the national Republican convention
and the Growing of the Chicago journals in
consequence have made st. Louis mad with
jealousy. The press of the latter city is
giving vent to its feelings in the matter by a
raid on Chicago hotels and hotel managers.
Among other things it is alleged that the
proprietor of the Grand Pacific charged the
Ohio delegation to the last Republican con-
vention 500 a day for the use of the United
States court room, which was in building
which he owned, but had leased to the
United States government, while the Judges
of the appellate court demanded and re-
ceived seven season tickets apiece to the con-
vention as the price of their consent to al
low the delegation to use the room.
The Globe-Democrat habitually aludes to
Chicago as Joe MedillvilIe and demands that
the price of air and water per cubic foot be
settled before the meeting of the conven-
ton
The Chicago Times retorls that St. Louis
was hopelessly crushed as city of conven-
tons by the discovery which the Democrats
made in 1879 that drinks were sold there for
15cents straight, INSTEAD of two for quarter
and four for fifty cents. Strange to say, as
yet nothing has been said about the compar-
alive size of the feet of the women of the ri
val cities.

The Bath Times, after quoting the sub
stance of the paragraph In the PRESS a day
or TWO ago about the statement alleged by
the reporter of the Oxford Democrat to have
been made at meeting of farmers in South
rarls, that the consumption of eggs exceeds
the supply, and our inquiry how that could
be, says it is clear that the PRESS has over
looked a recent article in the London Farm
er-which it reprints for the benefit of those
interested:
The manufacture of artificial eggs across the At
lantic is largely increasing; and one establishment
alone turns out upward of one thousand every hour
The yolks are formed of a paste composed of corn
flour, starch and other materials. The whites are
made of albumen. and chemically identical with
the whites Of real eggs. The inner skin is film of
of gelatne; and the shell is of plaster-of Paris and
Is somewhat thicker than the original The yolk is
first rolled into ball, and frozen hard then it is
enclosed in the slbumen, and submitted to a rapid
rotatory motion, which makes it proper oycid
forn and again it is frozen. 1t is then dipped into
the geatne, and after that iuto the plaster. which
while drying rapidly retains the fom Ter the con-
tents have melted. 1t is said that in point of taste
the eggs cannot be distinguished from the real ar
tice; while they win keep good for years, and are
not go easily broken. They can be favored to re-
semble duckseggs but up to the present it is stated
that seven the most assduous hen had failed to pro-
duce chicks from these compounds"
Referring to the statement which pro-
voked the first article, nobody should sup
pose that DR.. G. M. Twitchell of Fairfield,
who made the address, said anything of the
kind. 1t was reporters error; but one of
those misstatements that are curiously
amusing to everybody but the person misre-
ported and the person who blundered.

dies, at least in recent years A. I. Benyon,
the President appears to have been as reck-
less and corrupt bank official as was ever
exposed and the narrative of his various
operations and combinations abounds in
amazing revelations. The Receiver alleges
that the cashier was a defaulter whose de-
falcation Benyon concealed by substituting
a worthless note for cash. The Directors
are accused of being some of them accom-
plices and others dupes, or dummies, who
exercised nosdirection, giving the President
full swing to carry out his plans, and he
was engaged in all sorts of wild speculations
in which the banks money was used and
lost Not the least astonishing part of the
story Is that which tells how the bank while
insolvent was enabled to begin business
again only to be wrecked by another gang Of
plunderers.

By the last report from the bureau of
statistics Of the exports of Breadstuffs it ap-
pears that the value of the exports from this
city for November last was S47, 641, and for
November Of last year $1,000, that the total
value for the eleven months ending Novem-
Der 90th last was $22O,315 against s160.1S5
for the corresponding period of the previous
year. Byshe reports from the same bureau
OF the exports of provisions, tallow and dairy
products, It appears that the value of the
exports during November of this year was
$l27,0S0 against $36,2s1 for November of
the previous year, and that for the eleven
months ending November Both of this year
the total value of these exports was SS14,-
203 against $790.13S for the corresponding
period of the previous year. All these statis-
tics show gratifying growth in the amount
of business done here, and are so far en-
couragng to the hopes of our citizens.

The citadel of Sontay from which the
Chinese must be dislodged before the French
will be in possession of the town is in the
form of quadrilateral each one of its sides
being about 1000 feet long. 1t is built of
brick and masonry, with bastions in the
middle Of each side. It was erected toward
the close of the last century by French en-
giDeers. Though it was regarded as
strong fortress at the time it was built, it is
likely that the improvements which have
been made in artillery since then have rem
dered it of little account, and that it will be
easily battered down if it is not surrendered
without resistance.

Tells the Pathetic Story OF Mary and Her
Little Ram In n Modernized Form.
Mr. Charles Seabaugh has developed into
poet, as the following extract from the Wool
Grower will prove;
The San Antonio representative Of the
Wool Grower respectfully dedicates the fol-
lowing to the memory Of "My Darling SAM"
a young ram slaughtered in West Teas
county few days ago by the cruel and irate
father Of a 10 year old young lady. This
young lady was particularly devoted to the
ram. He had been presented to her when
but a lamb by friend, and she had taken
great care and much pleasure in him. But
rom some playful cause ''Sam" placed Miss
Mary in predicament, which led the father
Of the esteemed miss to deprive her, at the
point Of the pistol, Of her boon companion
Mary had little ram
She led II by q rope:
And Mary's little ram, called "sam,"
Her darling-broke.
sam backward walked, and stood upright,
Then next afore did spring,
And with one butt he struck her calf
And broke her garter strings.
Miss Mary fell upon hor face,
Tho carriers flew In air,
And sam again a-browsing went,
Just though he didn't care
Miss Mary has no little ram,
Sans pelt hangs on n hook,
Aud all the people bout do say.
"Aolls dad Sans life he took"
II Mary wants another ram,
And Mary's love be true,
Wen put her on q shcepmans track,
