Rates OH Dressed Beef.

CHICAGO, April S.-P. ID. Armour, the
leading shipper of dressed beef. said in an
interview tonight that it is not his inten
ton to visit New York at the time of the
coming meeting of the joint executive
committee of trunk lines, on the question
of raising the rate for carrying refrigera-
tor beef. He did not think his presence
was necessary, as he felt assured the rate
would not be raised. He understood the
Baltimore & Ohio and Grand Trunk roads
would not submit to it, and would, if the
matter was pressed, draw sout of the pool.
He considered the refrigerator beef trade
established. A railroad man, whose name
was not given, the Tribune says, asserts
that at the last meeting of the agents of
the east bound pool rate, it stood four to
three against recommending a raise in the
rates on dressed beef, and that four of the
seven roads in the pool will opposeit.

for governor, but he declined. Foster WAS
brought forward and elected. If Sherman
had occupied the place he could have been
nominated at sChicago, in 1880,
instead Of losing eternaily the op.
portunity of a life. What might have been
in 1880, will not happen in 1884 or any
other year to John Sherman. The man
who is beaten for national nomination
once, is beaten forever, and Sherman
knows 1t. If his name is used again it
will be to promote some Interior purpose,
and not that he will expect the nomination.
And this is the man Mr. Keifer wants to
nominate for governor. The sooner he
looks for some other candidate for his
forlorn hope the better. Why don't Keifer
take the nomination himself, and perform a
two-horse act, cunning for governor and sem
ator at the same time. This is the appropri-
ate thing, and as the gentleman is entirely
without modesty, political or personal, he
should make the race. His vanity may be
great enough TO lead him to expect to find
some Republican who is willing to become
candidate for governor, with the under
standing that he is to aid Keifer's senate
rial ambition; but when he finds such a
man he will find one that could not carry
a county in the state. It will be interest
ing to see the outcome Of Keifer's bossism
in Ohio politics.

A BILL is pending in the New York
legislature forbidding the sale of ''dime
novels" to minors. The objection is not
to the price, but to the character or con-
tents of that peculiar literature. The
proposition is well meant, but how it is to
prevent the youth, who have the depraved
taste to crave that line of reading matter,
from procuring it, does not seem clear.
The remedy is to prevent the publication

There are at Tonioka several small tenn
pies, but of only local interest. One there
is dedicated to the god of strength, and is
venerated by the mothers of weakly child
rem or children suffering from sickness.
Oadzuma Sama is the strong god. On
this feast day celebrated wrestlers congre-
gate here, and contest the championship.
They are almost entirely without clothing,
offering their bare bodies only to the grasp
of their opponents. 1t is q sight that would
delight the fancy wrestlers of the Western
world to witness these chaps tug
at each other for the mastery. AS
they take their places preparatory to
the trial of strength and skill they place
themselves in a partially squatting position,
their limbs wide apart, and slap first one
leg and then the other, at the same time
raising the foot and leg, and then bring
ing it (the foot) down again with an ener-
gy and force that portends a determine
ton that their feet shall not be tripped
from under them. They then squat IA
cling each other, and, upon signal, spring
upon one another as they rise, catching
such hold as they are able. Such wrest-
ling never came under our observation
elsewhere. The style is peculiar to Japan,
and appear 70 be more a demonstration of
power than skill, as they make heavy work
of it, sweating aad steaming as men only
do when putting forth their utmost
strength. Some Ley falls are sustained,
while /, can hardly be seen how the thing
is accomplished.

Japanese Wedding Presents.
Japan Weekly Mail.

On Monday last the marriage of Miss
Inouye and Mr.. Katsunosuke Inouye was
celebrated at the official residence of his
Excellency Inouye, minister for foreign
affairs. The ceremony was conducted
in japanese fashion, and attended only
by the near relatives aud intimate
friends of the family. The wedding
presents were displayed in an up
stairs room, snd of course attracted much
attention. WSh few exceptions the Japan
csc gifts, though costly and attractive, were
intended to express sentiment rather
than to serve any useful purpose. Most
prominent was q mountain formed of rolls
of floss silk, white and crimson. Each
roll was bound with strands of twine
the ends not brought round to a bow,
as is usually the case, but tied in hard
knots, emblematic of the ind1ssolubility of
the marriage tie. The fioss-silk was
intended to typify gentle yet en-
during constancy, the. strength of its
skeins offering noted contrast to their
softness and fexibility. Round the base
of this mountain were disposed number
of ornaments of fresh rice straw, plated
in the forms of the storks and tortoises,
emblematic of longevity, or the pine,
bamboo, and plum, of perpetual bloom;
while into the loops of the plaits were
thrust pieces of dried bonito, a favorite
accompaniment of wedding presents

CLEANSE TIE CITY.

The need of thorough sanitary measures
was never more urgent in st. Paul than it
is at the present time. The winter has
been one of unusual severity, and the five
months accumulation of filth on the streets
is yet unremoved, and a thorough street
cleaning cannot at present be accom-
plished. But there is abundant work for
the health officers to attend to. The alleys
are thawing out rapidly, and the deposits
of the winter are coming to the surface.
These, under the influence of the genial
spring sunshine, are sending forth deadly
efiuvia that is liable to bring on pesti-
lence of a malarial character that will
sweep hundreds from the stage of exist
ence.
st. Paul has always been an exception
ally healthy city, and cannst afford to lose
its reputation at the present stage of its
development. But unless the health Off
GERS of the city are vigilant and active; IN
less the street commissioners attend to
their duties promptly, we will be com

the alleys are putrid cesspools that exhale
disease by wholesale. At the earliest pos
sib!e moment these public and hidden
sources of disease should be
cleansed. The matter of cost
should not be permitted to stand in
the way of this work for an instant. Money
is nc object when the health of the com
munity is at stake. If the street force is
not large enough to make an expeditions
cleansing, it should be augmented to any
extent that may be required.
Happily for st. Paul the city is so sit
uated as 20 afford superior facilities fer
drainage. Our surface drainage is all THAT
could be desired; our sewerage system,
though not completed, is efficient as far as
it goes. But with all these natural and
acquired advantages there remains much
for the authorities to accomplish. No re-
fuse matter Of any description should be
permitted to remain an hour where it is
liable to breed malaria. The public, at
the same time, should afford the authori-
ties every assistance in their power, and
report every place where a nuisance exists,
so that it may be abated without delay.
A thorough and radical cleansing of the
whole city, by ways as well as public thor
oughfares. is urgently demanded. The tax
payers viii not grumble at the cost, pro-

The Spanish press are discussing the ex-

funds to purchase a collection of books.
manuscripts, and documents that certainly
any country would like to retain, especially
when already such powerful competitors as
the German and French governments, and
the British museum authorities are on the
alert. The Demidoff collection at Florence,
the Ashburnham and Hamilton collections
in England did not contain so many and
such rare treasures as the unrivaled curiosi-
ties of books, lore, and historical data
which are being catalogued by the trustees
of the late duke of Ossuna.
This wealthy peer at one time possessed
a princely fortune, scattered over Belgium,
France, and at least over dozen provinces
of the peninsula. He was the owner of
more than twenty castles, a grandee of the
first class in virtue of thirty titles, every
one of which carried with it the coveted
right of remaining covered in the presence,
of royalty, besides a dozen earldoms, mar
quisates, and baronies brought into the
houses of Ossuna and del Infantado by in
termarriages extending over 600 years.
Ossuna could vie in many respects with
the feudal houses of Alba, Medina Coeli,
Medina Sidonia, Fernan Nunez, the Oldest
of the peerage of the Christian conquest
from the days of Granada; and it is diff
cult to imagine the treasures of art and
historical lore that these great families yet
preserve in Spain.
The Ossuna library contains 1000 rare
manuscripts ana $1,000 volumes, which
are even more interesting than the,
paintings, the noble armory, the collection
of furniture, tapestries, objects of art,
china, and plate in the many residences of
the noblemen, whose extravaganza and
splendor surprised even the imperial court
| of Russia when the duke was Spanish am
bassador to the Emperor Nicholas. Ossu-
mas wealth formerly amounted to eli, 00O,.
600 sterling, and when he borrowed money
the Ossuna bonds were quoted at par on
the market even up to a few days before
his death.
Among the most curious specim ems in
his collections are manuscripts of one
hundred plays of Lope di Vega, several of
Calderon, and of Moreto, and the only ex-
tant Of Querido. The catalogue will contain
the CORES pondence of the Marquesses of
Santillana, and of Villena, the latter
| famous as the founder of the Spanish
academy; the diplomatic correspondence
| of Reubens; Code of Alfonzo XII, the
Missal of Cardinal Cisneros, an autograph
| of Bartholomew of Las Casas, and copy
| of the Diary of Columbus in the hand
writing of Las Casas. Among four thous-
and manuscripts is the authentic text of
the Roman de la Rose, for which Germany
| offers four thousand pounds.
