Timely Hints.

The american Grocer has some
well timed remarks on the canned
goods business, and advises Gamers
to put up prime article. tits waste
of time, material and capital to put
up slop goods. The consumers of
canned goods will not purchase such
inferior articles and they injure the
whole trade by preventing people
from using canned goods to the ex-
tent they would if none but a prime
article was placed on sale. The
Grocer says:
1--WE urge packers to meet fully the
demands of dealers and consumers
for correct definition of quality upon
their labels. There is vast amount
of humbug in the terms used to desig-
nate the quality of food, and some Of
the canned goods dealers are among
the offenders. Tell the exact truth,
and back it up with responsible
name y rs X II y X Il The day
has gone by when anything packed in
tin will sell. The efforts of some
manufacturers and dealers to improve
the quality of their goods has forced
Others to do likewise. and has made
Improbable the packing of ordinary
and inferior goods"

Col. Mosby's Silver Cup.

On the eve of Col. John s. Mosby's de.
parture from Hong Kong, deputation of
Chinese merchants, through Mr.. Lee Tux
Cheong. waited on the Colonel in the parlor
of the Hong Kong Hotel and presented Col.
Mosby with handsome silver cup and two
magnificent Chinese screens, and at the
same time read an address in Chinese, of
which the following is translation:
ITO John S. Mosby, Esq, late Consul at
Hong Kong for the United States of america.
Sir: Since your appointment to the consul
ship you have benefited the merchants, and
have kindness shown to the people, both of
whom have felt deeply grateful. As you
are now recalled on sudden we cannot let
you depart from US without showing our
deep feeling and respect by writing few
ordinary expressions as tokens of affection
and remembrance. With sincerity we beg
to present you the following address:
"You arc both pure and clear
An example instructive and
Worthy of imitation
Just and impartial,
Mercful and compassionate
Accomplished and graceful,
Genial and kind,
Incorruptible and courteous to people;
Thus should an official be.
"Presented by the Chinese merchants of
Hong Kong, in the middle of the sixth
moon, in the eleventh year of Kwong Sui"
Here follow the signatures and seals Of
the Chinese merchants.
In reply, Col. Mosby said he was much
gratifed at receiving this testimonial from
the Chinese merchants of Hong Kong.
While he represented the United States as
consul there he endeavored to do justice to
all without distinction of race or creed. If
he succeeded in doing this, and at the same
time gave satisfaction to them, the chief oh.
ject of his ambition had been fulfilled. He
parted from them with deep regret, and
hoped they might meet again in his own
country, where he would be happy to well
come all his old friends.
The silver cup bears upon it the following
inscription: presented to John 8. Mosby,
u S. Consul at Hong Kong, by the Chinese
Merchants, July, 1885,"

The Trouble About the Caroline Islands.

MADRID, Sept. 9.-Senor Elduayen, min
lister of Foreign Affairs, had long inter
view to-day with Count Won Solms-Sonuen-
valid, the German envoy. 1t is rumorcd
that the government has received informa-
ton from the man of war Velasco, showing
that the report that the Pelew Islands have
been occupied by Germany is not true. Mil
itary men here insist that their comrades at
zap acted under orders from Madrid and
Manila in order to avoid conflict with the
Germans. The campaign against the press
is active.
MADRID, Sept. 9.-The press censorship
prevents true accounts being received ofthe
explosions of popular wrath against Ger
many at Saragossa, Valencia, Barcelona;
Granada, and twenty other places.
BERLIN, Sept. 9.-Much uneasiness is felt
here owing to the possibility that other Ger
man vessels in the Pacific, under orders to
annex the Carolines, may come into coils
ion with Spanish men-of-war.
BERLIN Sept. 9.-Emperor William has
received long and pressing letter from
King Alfonso, respecting the Carolines
question and the situation of affairs
in Spain, growing out of it. The details of
the letter have not been learned, but the
contents greatly impressed Emperor Will
liam, Empress Augusta and Crown Prince
Frederick William.
LONDON, September "a dispatch from
Madrid to the Times says: Emperor William
has sent dispatch to King AlfoDzo saying
that he has no intention Of trenching upon
Spanish rights and will do nothing to pre-.
ju1ice his old friend Alfonzo; that Germany
will withdraw from Yap, abandon all de-
signs on the Caroline Islands, and admit
Spanish sovereignty over those Islands pro-
vided it be made effective. It is rumored
that Prince Bismarck wished to pursue his
original plans but was overruled by the

WHEN THE republicans held possession Of
the Government General Mahone's reason
for supporting them was that Virginia had
been on the weak side long enough and that
consequently, policy dictated an adherence
to the strong side, in order to reap the ma
terial advantages possessed by the majority.
Ignobe and mean as that reason was, it
still had some effect upon those susceptible
to such influences. Effective as it was then,
it should be more so now; but the General
has no further use for it, though by ignoring
it he shows great Inconsistency and no inn
proyement in principle.
