Stephen Dunn, who has been kept in Canadian
Jail two years without trial, only to be discharged
for want of evidence at last, appears to have just
cause of complaint against the Dominion Govern
ment There is no excuse or apology for such an
Incarceration 1t is in effect denial of justice, and
it does seem that strong representations made from
Washington would have been warranted under the
circumstances and would probably have led to the
trial of Dunn long ago.

During the last week the Treasury has paid
ont $S71,677 more gold than its receipts in
gold and gold certificates, and during the
month thus far 81, 054, AL. But for the ship
ments to Europe therefore, the banks should
have gained. But the exports for the week
amounted to $5, 1874 634, nearly all gold, max
ing nearly 500, 100000 gold and $4,30O,OOO
silver this year, against only $90,25O gold and
Sl.696, S67 silver to the corresponding date
last year. Nor is there any reason why this
outgo of gold should cease, while the Treasury
continues to put out more silver dollars and
paper every week.
The feature of the markets last week was a
strong speculative advance in several impOr-
tant products. Wheat touched the lowest price
for many years on Monday, selling at SO cash
for No . Red Winter here, and 80 for May
The recovery to 81 OF for April and 81 023i
for May was 80 sharp that little confidence
was felt in the market, and at the first sign of
change of aim by the spectators the price
dropped again, though the close on Saturday
was about cents above the close of the previ-
ons week Corn did not reach its lowest price
until Tuesday, when it closed at 54aa for April
and SOS for May; it sympatLized with wheat

subsequent reaction, selling at 563i for May on
Saturday at p. IN. Oats followed substantially
the same course Pork sold at $40 20 on the
9Th for spot mess, rose with rush about 81
Der barrel, and closed about SIC Is. Lard
closed at $40 on the 9Th for city spot, rose to
s. 80 on the 9th, and dropped 70 $50 on Satur-
day, the options fuctuating still more widely.
In all this movement of grain and provisions
there was nothing to be seen. except the un-
reasoning disposition Of spectators to follow a
few strong Operators. There is no important
enlargement of the foreign demand as yet, and
the prospect as TO this years crops is favorable.
The cotton market acted with quite as little
regard to facts. Exports were cut down to
81 600 bales last week, against 90,4SO for the
corresponding week last year; the weather at
the South was generally favorable; and the
state of the market for goods brought into
prominence the fact that the cotton which sold
Saturday at IFS for spot, and at 10i4 one year
ago, when mado into standard brown shcetings,

II is stated that the British pOstoice authorities
find gambling TO be as fertile source Of crime as
drunkenness among the employees. The latter often
steal in order to pay gambling debts and bets. The
curious moral perversiOn which regards these obli-
cations as debts of honor is doubt responsible
for the consequences. Probably few of these men
would steal to pay their butcher and baker, but
rather than be thought capable of evading " debt
of honor they will resort to robbery The truth is
that the sO-called debt of honor" is relic of bar
barism only fit to be bracketed with the duellO

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made Of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases arc made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilyer case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made Of gold. Those Of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilyerWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

THE SHAM AND THE REAL.

Every good thing has its host of
imitators; every genuine ar icle its
counterfeits. Bad manners and wicked
habits have theirs also; but he who shams
the bad never boasts of it, while they
who ape the virtues OF the good or simulate
the genuine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their
most alluring tones. When these people
initiate they always choose a pronounced
type or popular subject to copy from:
and when they claim to be as good as
$50 and So" or to sell an article equal
to $50 and So, the public may depend
upon it that Mr.. $50 and So" and his
are always the best of the kind Thus
the sham is always proving the genuine
merit of the thing it copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen
produce and popularize an article of
household use, such as the Royal Baking
Powder, whose convenience, usefulness
and real merit make for itself an immense
and universal sale A hundred imitators
arise on every hand, and as they hold
out their sham articles to the public,
yelp in chorus; "Buy this; it's just as
| good as Royal, and much cheaperp'
The Royal Baking Powder IS the standard
the world over, and its imitators in their
cry that theirs is "as good as Royal are
all the time emphasizing this fact. In
their laborious attempts to show by
analysis and otherwise that the
"SnowbalP' brand has as much raising
power "as the Royal" or that the
Resurrection" powder is as wholesome
cas- Royal" or that the "Earthquake''
brand is cas- pure as the Royal" as well
as by their contortive twisting of chemical
certificates and labored efforts to obtain
recognition from the Government
chemists and prominent scientists who
have certified the superiority of Royal
over all others, they all admit the "RoyaP
to be the acme of perfection, which it is
their highest ambition to initiate, But
the difference between the real and these
limitations, which copy only its general
appearance, is as wide as that between
the paste and the true diamond. The
shams all pay homage to the "ROyal!"

EXTINCT ANIMALS AND BIRDS

EA llNCl ANIMALS AMI DlE6DC.
There are vet al least four species Of
the sea-cow in existence The Manatus
Ameracanus is found about tropical South
America; the Manatus Senegalenis on
the opposite shores OF Africa; the Hall
core dudong in the Indian ocean; the
Manatus Australis in the Southern ocean.
In the Haytian language the animal is
called the manatee. The generic term
manatus is given to it because Of its
Handicapped fipper or fore fin.
One hundred and fifty years ago there
were numerous representatives of another
species of the sea-coW in the Arctic seas
called the Rhytina This was the finest
specimen of the genus, When full grown
it attained a length of 50 feet and a
weight of several tons. The general col
or was dark brown; the skin thick and
leathery, covered with a thick, bristIing
hair that matted together; forming a
protection from the ice and cold, and was
comparable in appearance to the bark of
tree, They pastured in vast herds
among the weeds of the shore They
showed no fear of men, even allowing
themselves to be touched. In 1742, a
vessel was wrecked i'll the Arctic sea and
the crew escaped to Behring Island. Out
Of other food this crew began warfare
upon the sea COW. 1t was found to be
excellent food and its fat valuable. After
the final escape Of the crew from Behring
Island as result of their information
numerous ships went there and loaded
with the fat of the unfortunate sea COW.
In 1880 the last living specimen was seen
by a native of Volhynia. A number of
skeletons in the possession of naturalists
are all that is probably left of these large
and powerful animals.
Among the birds of the Arctic seas
that have been also exterminated by
thoughtless sailors, are the great North
ern AUX, the Labrador duck and the
dodo Of the Island of Mauritius. There
is the skin of an aux in the Museum in
Central Park, New York, valued at one
thousand dollars. Not more than dozen
similar specimens are said to exist.
