Massachusetts has an act to prevent the
 adulteration of food, and two chemists are
 now at work under it examining various ar- ticles to ascertain their purity. One of the chemists has reported on 100 specimens o1 milk purchased at various times and places, and finds nine of them so badly adulterated that prosecutions will probably follow. Ir some of them from twenty. five to forty pc, cent of water and other ingredients not SC harmless were found. Only two out of seven specimens of olive oil were found to be gen. uine, the others being cottonseed oil. which, though harmless, is much cheaper than the article for which it is sold. The sam. pies of sugar examined were all good, but some of the samples of syrup were posi- lively bad, one of them containing free sul-
 phuric acid. Some so-called sardines were
 found to be .herrings preserved in cotton
 seed oil and thongh harmless as food, they
 are a fraud. Of $50 samples of all kinds ex- , amined, 222 fell below the proper standard. Ex-Chief Justice Agnew of Pennsylvania says concerning the political situation in that State: In 1882 the Republicans divided be-
 cause of the prevalence of 8 machinery
 which disregarded the true voice of the peo-
 pie. But, with the reform in popular repre- sentation, it has again become solid, for Re
 publicans are solid in fundamentals, and all they desire is to know that their principles are supported by their own chosen and faith ful agents No great party can exist in this enlightened country which is not founded in right, justice, liberty, and the welfare of the people. This is an essential, for, though parties may differ upon measures, our people have the sense and the conscience to know that any other foundation Is contrary to their own interests and the law of true govern ment. But when machinery usurps popular power and holds our destiny in it's hand, cor ruption is inevitable and the heart rot begins
 There can be no dependence on it's agents. The return of Republicans to the true prin- ciples on which the party rests gives assur- ance of victory now and in 1884; while this is strengthened by the fundamental error of it's opponents in the persistent attempts of one branch of the State government, and that the inferior in legislation to coerce the legislative branch against its conscience and sense of right.

The president of the Chicago branch of the Young Mems Christian Association has been telling what an usher who serves in the house of the Lord ought to be. He says Besides the spirit of Almighty God cor dial manner and common sense are essential characteristics of an usher" Further, an usher should be honestly glad to see a per son, and should welcome him as his best friend and in his own house. Again, an usher should use his discretion in the locat- ing of strangers in church pews. poor mother. just from the washing of her dishes, and clad in 8 humble way, would feel uncomfortable in a front seat where she might feel that the entire attention of the congregation was attracted toward herself.

feature of the week was the non-anxiety of
prominent manufacturers to sell except at
about their fgures-that is there was no
deposition on that part to follow closely
the breaks in prices consequent upon
speculative manipulation, and for this
reason the purchases on consumption &C.
count were not SO large as they otherwise
would have been, as there were good
many inquiries both from foreign and do
mestic points.
Hogs have came in moderately free, have
been good in quality and have command
ed rather steady prices, as compared with
week ago. The changes in values are
hardly worth anything. There is very lit
tie question but that the situation is just
now very prospecting to the trade in
general, and the future is full of uncer
tainties. We started into the new season
poets of good demand for product and
only moderate crop of hogs. On this
hypothesis operators did not foresee any
possibility of serious break in values,
but break occurred, and a very serious
one, too-so serious, in fact, that many who
were bulls when prices were much higher
are now bears. At inside prices, they have
lost all confidence. In fact, the bears have
been so successful, that,while in the minor
ity, they seem to have absolutely held the
majority in awe.
To date the packing OF the West is only
about 100000 head short of
the corresponding period year ago. But
it must be remembered that last season
was very short one, that we produced less
than we consumed, beginning the present
season with considerably smaller stocks
than year previous. If we produce as
many pounds of product this season as last,
which is likely, we shall then be short.
The country is growing rapidly and is con-
Stunning more and moro each year, SO that
the production to equalize the situation
should also show an increase steadily.
There has been and is to-day large con-
sumptive demand, and the country does
not contain nearly as many pounds of pro
duct as it did year ago.

While in st. Paul on Friday last DR..
Waiter, of this city, slipped and fell on the

The members of the Muller post are
striving hard to become perfect in their

give the post full house on the night of
the performance, which, it is stated will
take place on the evening of Jan. %.
By the present appearance of that piece
of sidewalk on the east side of Third
street, commencing at Johnson's store and
ending at the school house yard, it will
need the usual repairs in the spring. A
different plan will probably have to be
adopted before the foundation becomes
permanent. Street Commissioner Butler
can take the matter under consideration,
SO that he can go at work as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the spring.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The speaker laid
before the house the recommendation of
the naval advisory board, asking an ap-
preparation of $2O,O0O,OOO for testing de-
fensive armor. Referred.
Also message from the president, trans
hitting communication of the superin-
tsndens of the census asking an appropri-
alton of 100000 to complete the eleventh
census. Referred.
Mr.. White of Kentucky, offered resolu-
ton reciting that large quantities of dis
titled spirits are now in bonded warehouses
owned by Illinois capitalists, who are pc
titioning for another extension of the
bonded period, and calling on the COM
missioner of internal revenue for infor-
nation as to the number of gallons now in
warehouses in that state, and inquiring
whether or not the presence of the com
missioner is required at this time in Hi
nois preparatory to the collection of taxes
on largo quantities of distilled spirits,
which under the Carlisle bill have been al
lowed to remain in bond three years at a
loss of revenue of many million dollars.
Referred.
The shipping bill was then taken up for
consideration, and Mr.. Cox delivered a
carefully prepared speech in support of
the bill. After giving a detailed account of
the navigation laws he said: Amid a
divided marine dominion, in which one
power alone has half the rule of the ocean,
America sits scepterless and forlorn, de-
throned, ignoble, dispirited and disgraced.
The symbol of our nationality, taking its
stars from the vault of heaven, by which
brave men sail, is an unknown emblem
upon the sea. We welcome every race to
our shores in vessels of other nations.
Our enormous surplus, which feeds
the world is for others to
bear away. We gaze at the leviathans of
commerce entering our harbors and dark
ening our sky with penaons of smoke, but
the thunder of engines is under another
flag and the shouting of captains is in an
alien tongue. Others distribute the pro-
duce, capitalize the moneys, gather the
glories and elevate their institutions by
the amenities and benignities Of our COM
merce, and we, Boosting of our invention,
heroism and freedom, allow jealous and
hated and selfish policy to place gives
upon our energy and imprison our genius
in sight of these splendid achievements.
Mr.. Speaker, if you would that we should
once more fly our ensign upon the sea, as
sist US to take off the burdens from our
navigation and give to US first, last and
best, ''the indispensable condition of civil
ization by the commerce of liberty" APP

the proceeds to be given to the "Home of

expect another surprise and occasion of
delight at what this body of singers will
present, is set down as certain, and the ex-
tent to which the public will patronize
them will show, at the same time, the ex-
tent to which they are willing to assist our
most worthy charitable institutions.

Mr.. George H. CoIgrove, the correspond
emit of the New York Mirror, several days
ago laid on our table the Christmas mum
Der of this well known publication, which
should have received attention before this.
The number is very elegant one, and
bears beautifully Illuminated title page,
which forms very striking and attractive
picture. This number is enriched with
contributions from most of the distin-
guished actors of the day. Mr.. John
Mccullough has an interesting sketch of a
Rocky mountain trip. Other articles
are furnished by Joaquin Miller, R. G.
Moore, David Belasco, Jennie June, Henry
Edwards, Mary II. Fiske, Modieska, Cor
nelius Mathews and many other promi-
nent people. 1t is also further illustrated
by a striking representation of Edwin
Booth as Richelieu. Aside from the illus
trations and general excellence of Its ty-
geographical appearance, this number of
the Mirror contains vast amount of ex-
ceedingly Interesting reading matter,
which, from its great excellence and dis
eliminating character, renders this not
only beautiful number, but also a very
useful one. The New York Mirror is one
of those publications that is an honor to
the newspaper profession, as well as au-
thority upon all theatrical and art matters
