$4,000 wool-growers of Pennsylvania and
the million wool-growers of the United

some of the most reputable physicians in
the two cities (Pittsburg and Allegheny,

for treatment, but she rapidly grew worse.
She was then taken to the most reputable
physicians and surgeons in New York,
but with no better success. They had all

eaten away down to her ribs the breast
bone was laid bare. and the disease made

Sir,-The Executive Committee respect
fnlly request you to send so soon as elected,
| the full name and poStoffice address of del

publican Convention from the State at
large and from the districts. Care should
be taken to write the names plainly, that

Hon J.. r. Dezendorf, Washington, D. C. ::
Dear Sir,-In justice to yourself, as well
as all concerned, l feel bound to say that
the circular-letter sent you under date Of
April Is, 1884, was sent during my absence
from the city and unauthorized by me ,hav-
ing been transmitted, as I am informed,
through the misapprehension of clerk
who appended hisslgnature thereto. While
| will not assume to speak on authority for
the committee. Il will say, in my judgment,
the National Republican Committee can
only recognize one convention in Virginia
as responsive to it's call-namely, the con-
yention to be held in Richmond on the 23d
instant.
Very Respectfully,

Chairman National Republican Commit
tee.

There are 500, 900 persons employed IN
coal mines in Great Britain, and of these
in 1878 no fewer than l, Alb were killed,
and within the last ten years, since the
passing of the Mines act, the yearly aver
age has been 200 OF one in every thirty
eight employed, as compared with one in
seventy five of British sailors lost at sea.
There are many other accidents in mines
not officially recorded, and it is believed
the total lives lost in English mines is
$500 every year, forty-eight every week,
or eight every day.

The counterfeit butter business has be-
come the biggest fraud of the age !; Is, 000.-
600 pounds of butterine were sold last
year in New York. This is made from
lard heated only to from 100 degrees TO
14o degrees, so that people who eat but
terine practically eat raw pork. One val
liable fact has been learned in the use of
these fraudulent mixtures, that the Amer
lean hog must have been free from disease
or we should have had thousands of cases
of that dread disease, trichinosis, among
the consumers of raw lard butterine.

Of the 100000 acres over which the
surface of Great Britain extends the area
under the tillage of wheat has diminished
from 81 to Al per cent. Of the whole from
1874 to 1888, while the population has in
creased in that time by three and a half
millions. More than one and a half as
many people are now in England to each
acre of wheat as there were ten years ago.
In 1874, Great Britain showed nearer to
seven than eight persons to each acre of
wheat; in 1883, there were nearly twelve
inhabitants to each acre of wheat. The
wheat export from America is the chief
cause of this difference.
