Our article to-day on the Whining
ton beef company will be read with in
terest by all " no are little, careful what
kind of meat they purchase. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond doubt that
fresh beef can be shipped from Chicago
TO Wilmington, being about five days
on the way, without sustaining any i'll
jury. When 1t reaches Wilmington, 1t
il just In good condition for use, as no
beef is good Immediately after butcher
ing. There seems to be no manner OF
doubt that this Chicago meat will take
the place Of home butchered meat in a
short time except through the extremely
hot summer months, when IL is difficult
to keep any kind of fresh meat over
two or three days without injury. Our
article to-day shows that sufficient safe
guards are thrown around the selection
of cattle for butchering in Chicago, and
the butchering of them to insure a
superior grade Of good beef to be sent
to market. These safeguards do not
exist even here in Wilmington where
any person that sees proper to call HIM
self butcher can set himself up in
that business and without restraint or
hindrance throw the vilest kind of stuff
called beef upon the market. II the
people of Wilmington, are compelled to
patronize the Chicago beef company, it
will be in part owing to the miserable
stuff thrust upon the markets by ire
sponsible men calling themselves hu CHI
ers. The honest butchers in the market

One OF the largest Irish
linen handkerchief = makers
being here yesterday, we
asked him what proportion
of so-called" linen "handker-
chiefs he thought were partly
of cotton. The larger part
by far" he said, if you 60
by quantity half, if you 90
by value" Confirmation,
almost by authority, Of our
estimate of a month or two
ago.
If half the linen" hand
kerch' els have cotton warp,
you probably nave your share
of cotton already. Cotton
is a smoother thread. Lin
en-, however fine, is lumpy.
Cotton is prettier. until it
gets yellow and frowsy.
Nothing is more tempting
than aye, even, snow-white,
new cotton. Linen is virtue
without adornment. 1t wears
like virtue.
Is it more or less surpri-
sing that we sell here one
flttieth of all the pure linen
and one fourteenth of all the
pure-llnen handkerchiefs that
come across the ocean?
BY the way our linens OF
every sort are ready for
trade to any amount. We
buy OF the makers in every
linen country in Europe. Our
prices are such as we can
afford to make with very
little regard to prices current
around us. On the average
we sell tor a little more than
merchants pay-merchants
who buy in this country.

The ORUELTIEs OF THE SLAVE TRADE in the
days OF its greatest development are quite
paraleled by the oruelties Of the Australian
shipmasters who sail among the islands of
the South Pacific in search of labOrers for
the Queensland sugar plantations. Where
they do not snccoedin cajoling the poor blacks
on board their vessels by presents or prom
ises they do not hesitate TO kidnap them or
TO kill them in case of too resolute resistance.
Tho atrooity of capture is followed up by
intolerable usage on the plantations The
death rate OF this class Of laborers Is from 20
to 30 per cent. per year. They are hardly as
well treated as cattle, and their livos are
equally at the mercy of their employers.
This barbarous system of labor is worse than
tho coolie trade, in which the laborer at least
has the privilege of making his own bargain.
There is but one step more for the sugar plan
ters to take. II they should buy their labor
ers outright the slavery would be complete
and probably less cruel, for they would at
least have selfish interest in preserving the
health and strength of their human ohattels.

The publication of the official records Of
the war OF the rebellion il steadily
going on and the nineteenth volume has
Just been issued. When completed it is eX
pected that the number Of volumes will have
reached eighty and these will comprise the
full official records of the Confederate and
Union armies during tho lato war. II IL not
easy to comprehend the immensity Of the
work which the publication of these records
entails. An average Of 30 men are kept
busy copying manuscript, reading proof and
indexing from one years end to the other,
and at the present rate it Ia expected that
they will publish Ave or six volumes a year.
The work in done in n fine old mansion west
Of the White House, which has been used by
the government for years, aud which IL now
wholly devoted 10 this work. The files Of
papers arc brought here from the war depart
mentin wheel -barrows and carefully searched,
and the matter needed copied by pen. 1t
takes about peck Of manuscript to make
one volume Of the official record. Each vol
vume contains on an average 1000 pages Of
printed matter or about 5000 pages OF closely
written foolscap. An ordinary foolscap page
of the record eats up about 200 words, 80
that a volume would contain about GOO, 600
words. And the whole publication will oOn-
tain the immense amount OF iS,OOO,OOO
words. Estimating each foolacap page M
covering ono and one-half square feet of
space not a large estimate, | think-the
manuscript used TO complete this history will
cover $50, 600 square feet OF space il 1t were
laid out with the edges Of its sheets touch
ing one another in close patchwork. Aud AZ
an acre ia less than $4,000 square feet, II
would cover more than eight acres OF ground,
and leave paper 10 spare. The work on the
record in regard to accuracy ia wonderfully
complete. Every name, whether that OF pri-
vste soldier or Major General, must be spell.
ed right and its proper initial given. A sin
gle name often consumes days of research,
and Is found at the end to be far different
from the one II WAS originally supposed to
be- The ndexing is very complete and full
OF labor The card system is used in the
work, and the third part Of volume l3 took
| alone :, 37G index cards. The work OF print
ing the record is done by the government
printing office, and the men in charge OF
preparing the manuscript tell me there is an
| other volume which should have been out
before this. This record of the rebellion
embraces both the official papers Of the North
and of the South, OF the Union and Confed-
crate armies. 1t will, when it is completed,
disclose many unknown facts Of history, and
will form the most valuable historical refer
| ence book that has ever been published about
any war or any period.

The London Times prints a Calcutta de-
spatoh which says that the latest returns from
the earthquake in Cashmere on May Is state
the loss of life at 3, Osl persona besides 1000
sheep and goats and 5000 cattle. The num-
Der OF dwellings ruined is computed TO reach
10000. A correspondent OF the Calcutta
Engishman, writing on the 18th, says:
''The forco OF the earthquake appears to
have concentrated itself at certain spots, and
and there to have spent itself. These spots
look as though q large amount Of gaseous
matter under the earth had, with the strength
of dynamite, been struggling for an outlet,
and had torn and lacerRted the ground at the
point where It found an exit. Thus one soes
villages with the huts all destroyed, the earth
ad jacent being cracked and split, and the air
putrescent from the bodies Of cattle buried
under the houses, while not 20 yards distant
sloping, wooded hill seems untouched. In
other places the sides Of vertically scraped
hill has been sliced of a. II by the guillotine
the earth no severed lying at the base. Some
hillsides are only partially disconnected, and
deep incsion remains. Other hills again
present the appearance Of an ordinary land

Harper's Weekly says that dozen years
ago, during a visit to Europe, the late John
w. Garrett, then President OF the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad company, became much
impressed by the benevolent features of rail-
wny management in England, France and
Germany, and with the cooperation OF his
son, who has since then succeeded him in
the presidency, he resolved to apply the same
principles. In 1880 the corporation gave
SiOO, 600 AZ the nucleus Of a fund 10 be em-
ployed for the benefit of its laborers, and the
scheme was put into operation in May Of that
year. 10 originally contemplated idemnity
for accident suffered in the service Of the COM
pany provision for injury or sickness incurr-
cd In the discharge Of duty, insurance in case
OF death from natural causes, and the estab.
lishment of an annuity fund, TO which have
since been added savings and building feat
ures aud pension fund. All employees were
invited 10 participate in the advantages offer
ed, and they we're assured due influence in
the management by permission 10 elect five Of
the ten members Of the governing committee.
The amount Of contribution was graded &C
cordiDg TO the amount of pay received, those
getting 1876 and under per month paying 81
per month, which entities each TO one benefit,
and no on, those receiving over S100 contribu-
ting 50 a month and being entitled to five
benefits, although any member OF a lower
class may secure tho DenentA OF nlRnef Dy
paying the larger sum. One benefit means
80 cents per day in case of disabling by acci-
dent for a period not exceeding six months,
and thereafter ne-half as much for the re-
naming time Of disability; $500 in case Of
death from accident in the company's service,
and 800 in case Of death in the service from
any other cause, and 80 cents day, for not
over a year, in case Of injury or sickness
from any cause other than accident. The
man who pays SO or So a month Of course SO
cures three or five times "a large sums in each
case Payments to these relief features have
always been voluntary for those who were in
the service when the scheme was adopted,
and nearly all of them have joined the Rsso-
citation, while since early in 1881 all who en-
ter the service have been required 10 join.
The company provides Office room and pays
all the running expenses of management,
which now amount to over 800, 900 q year.
Between May /, 1880, and September 30, 1884,
the payments were as follows POI cases aoci-
dental DEATH $2O6, 525; 9O93 cases accidental
injury, $11I, ,712; 1915 cases surgical expense,
$40, 95S--a total of 1862, 1876 on account of
accidents;l19 ,O39 cases natural sickness, $275,-
49S; 1888 cases natural death, $1l3, ,214-mak-
ing grand total OF $3.50, 9O7 expended in 34,-
G9l Cases. The pension, annuity, savings
and building features of the scheme are de-
veloping with equal success.

The MALIGNANT PURsUTr OF Ex-PREsIDEST
Hayes in his retirement, in which GER
tain classof papers delight TO Indulge, has
had its latest exhibition in the reports that he
was the owner of building at Omaha, Neb.,
used as a liquor saloon from which be derived
an uncommonly high rental. The editor of
the Brooklyn magazine has taken the pains
TO ferret out the truth in the matter. The
slight foundation for this attack upon Mr.
Hayes appears to hinge on the following facts :
Twenty years ago in company with Gen. r.
z. Buokland, a townsmAn and neighbor, the
OK president bought by way of investment
several lots in the growing Western city
These have been leased at times by local
real Hesitate agent to parties who have built
upon them for various business purposes,
the lessees owning the building they had er-
ected. One of these was converted into a
saloon, which, according TO the story OF his
detractors, Mr.. Hayes sold for round price
as soon az it became public that his income
was swelled by the rental of liquor saloon.
Gen. BuoklRnd, however, says that neither
Mr. Hayes nor himself knew that saloon oc-
oupied the land until after II was sold, and
that ho himself negotiated the sale while MIR.
Hayes was away from home and quite ignor-
ant OF the transaction.

Two MaIds.


They we're two young maids that wandered away,
And one wore skou gown,
And RULES aud ribbons aud lace 40 gay,
Aud wonderful curla OF brown.
Right royal fair IN the face was she,
And passorH maryellod who she might be
And they wandered far from town.
The other walked, in homospun clad;
Her faco-it was scarcely fair;
No ribbons, rulies nor lace she had
Aud she braided her yellow hair.
But she dropped a coin In a beggar's palm,
She soothed child with kiss like balm,
Aud smiled at the fresh'niDg air.
That dainty maiden gathered her lace
From the beggar's touch aside;
She frown'd at the ohild's small, fearful face;
She scowrd whom the wind blew wide;
at rufies my toilet 80 cOmpletein
"Yet, ah, !" said the other, at blows 40 swcotl"-
And they wandered side by side.
"Now listen" said she Of the yellow hair,
'Do you hear the sheep bells ring7"
But the other answered, "Care--tAke care
"Soo that ugly spider swingl"
"Its web ia finer than finest lace"
said Yellow Hair with sparkling face,
"And it's crown is ft for klngl'
Then that dainty maid In a vexed despair
Said the marsh had wet her feet
But Yellow Hair, with the happiest air,
Cried "Vioets l-ah, how sweet"
And she pluoked them fresh from the moisten'd
And deckd her girdle, and on did pass,
with steps that we're always feet.
1.-THE suns 10 hoti" on the meadow crest
Cried the maid 10 dainty bred;
Afar the forest nodded at rest,
And the new oak shoots were red
All tremulous ahimmered the heated air
with eyes upifted-'"rhe worlds 40 fairl"
Was all that the other said.
And ever to one the woods were dim,
And the trOublous thorns detained.
There was mud by the rivers crystal rim
And the strange wood berriea stained,
While the other hearkened the forests hush
And noted the rivers gloam and rnsh,
In the strength Of the spring unclaimed.
when questioned, "whAt have you seen to-day ?"
Then the dainty maiden cried,
"Thorna, spidera, marsh 80 hot the way =
I'm torn and awry bosidel"
But Yellow Hair, " Twas 80 fresh and sweet
The fair land blossomed beneath our feet,
And the sky 50 blue and widel"
And Oft aud Oft TO myself say,
. maid with the baughty grace,
You'll go through life ia the aelisame way,

But give me the maid that can sec Alway
