THE topic of live stock market at
St. Paul is proving unusually interest,"
ing to the business men of that lively
city, and there is scarcely day that
the subject is not discussed pro and
con in the papers. An all-around
view of the enterprise is given below,
taken from Sun lays Pioneer Press:
1T has been suggested that, owing to
the low frei sht rate, 1t is as cheap to
ship Montana beef through IT. Paul
to Chicago and slaughter it there and
send ba TX the meat as To kill it here.
The statement of few facts would
seem to overthrow this theory. The
rate on a ear of live beef from Mon
tIna to st. Paul by the Northern Pa.
cific averages 500 to 800. Here 1t is
unloaded and reloaded into cars of one
of the Chicago roads, which charges
$40 for taking IL to Chicago. II
slaughtered there and the meat sent
back, there is another freight bill to
pay, which would seem to indicate
that large saving could be made by
stopping the beef here and killing it,.
Speaking on this general subject of
Chicago and Kansas City competition,
A. b. Stickney argues that Chicago is
the central market, whose.prices rule
in Kansas City and st. Paul. A bull
lock is worth in st. Paul or Kansas
City what it il worth in Chicago, less
the freight thither and the cost of
selling. The rate from Kansas City
and st. Paul to Chicago is nearly
equal, so that both stand on practically
the same footing, except that Mon
tana beef il worth little more than
the Texas article, it being of superior
quality. And so the only advantage
possessed by either Kansas City or
Chicago is in the better facilities for
economical slaughtering, the most im-
proved appliances being used to appro-
pirate and make profitable every part
of the animal. Slaughter houses now
located in st. Paul have not these ia.
cilities, and 80 waste from 81 to 50 on
every bullock that is slaughtered,
which is more than the freight to
Chicago and back again. 1t would be
impossible to compete with Chicago
meat without saving this waste, and
i'm order to do so the same processes
and operations for making available
the offal must be made Use of. Slaugh-
tering under these conditions, Mr..
Stickney cannot see why St. Paul can
not compete with Chicago aud Kansas
City, certainly and immediately for
home consumption, and eventually in
the eastern markets. This latter will
OF course he of slow growth. The old
dressed meat establishments own their
own refrigerator cars and refrigerator
buildings In all the principal cities
where they have built up their busi-
Ness and secured customers. 1t will
be work of time, energy and patience
to get foothold against that system" 4"

GOOD ADVICE.

Washington Correspondence 10 Picayune.l
started out the other day to
make q call on Mrs. Belva Lock-
wood. Some of your readers will
recollect the noble looking photo.
graph of her that had a place in
the Worlds Fair. She lives and
has an Office in L street, but was
not in when | called. However,
she is not quite so noble looking
as her portrait makes her out to
be, although generally wellregard-
ed in Washington. Not long since
she was arguing a case before JUS
tice Carter. She didn't get on
very well, and every point she
took the Justice told her she
could not take that point. Mrs
Lockwood was harassed and nerv.
Gus. She threw up her hand and
exclaimed in a fine, full voice
she has a fine, full voice, you know
swell, will your Honor tell me
what | can do ~
"G.g.go out and re.re-tain good
lllaw.yer and get him to t.ttell
you,r stammered the Justice, with
q jolly twinkle in his eye.

Montcagle Summer Schools.

We have just received a circu.
lar of the Monteagle Assembly,
giving full particulars about that
famous institution. The Assem-
bly, and the Summer Schools open
at the same time this year-June
30th. The schools, we are pleased
TO note, have increased from seven
to thirteen in number, and are
more attractive and useful in their
scope than ever before. The Fac.
ulty have been selected with great
care. Specialists will give iDstruc-
ton in English, French, German,
Spanish, Greek, Latin, Mathemat.
les, Natural Sciences, Botany. Ge.
ology, ETC.; Industrial Arts -
Wood.carving, Drawing, Phono.
graphy, Stenography, etc. Music,
Elocution; Fine Arts-Oil and
Water Color Painting, Artistic
Embroidery +; Pedagogy, Cookery,
etc, etc. The School of Normal
Training will be especially good.
The primary teacher is SAID to be
one of the best in the South. In
the course of lectures we see that
live educational questions will be
discussed by the leading educators
from all the Southern States and
many Northern States. Eichhorn's
band, from Louisville, KY, will
furnish the music. This mountain
resort, we are pleased to see. will
offer varied aud delightful enter.
tainment to all comers, and at
cheaper rates than can be found
elsew here in this country.

An Old Ftiend Of Madison, Hamilton and Burr
Visits the Capitol.

Washington, April 10. - Mr..
Charles Jones, formerly OF New
York City, but temporarily rcsld
ing here with bis daughter, Mrs.
Cuthburt, visited tho Capitol to.
day. Mr.. Jones is in his ninety.
sixth year, aud II was bis first Wis.
1t TO the Capitol Building for sey
enty five years. When he was
here last Madison was President
and among the leaders of the
House were John Randolph and
Henry Clay. When Madison was
the occupant of the Executive
Mansion Mr.. Jones was freqent
and welcome visitor, often spend.
ing several days rs q guest of the
President. When o visitor at the
Capitol, as well as in New York,
Mr.. Jones had for his companions
Aaron Burr and Alexander Ham.
iltop. His mind is well preserved,
and bis memory of men and public
events is remarkable.
He still clings TO the Jefferson,
Madison and Jackson ideas OF
Democracy, and believes the Re.
publicans should be turned out.
Mr.. Jones is now a wanderer, as
he calls himself, his wife having
died q few years ago. For some
years he lived in Georgia, where
he married great granddaughter
Of Gen. Mcintosh, who, with Gen,
Oglethorpe, organized the State
of Georgia. During his short stay
in the members gallery Mr.. Jones
was visited by number of Rep
resentatives from the floor. Be.
fore leaving the Capitol the old
gentleman said to a World repre-
sentative that he wanted to see

DRUcCISrs' PRESCRIPTIONS.

The results OF a curious but very
important test rs to the accuracy
with which chemists, druggists,
and others make up prescriptions
committed to their care has re.
Gently been presented to one of
the London vestries. Fifty pre-.
scriptions were sent out to ordi.
nary druggists, to co operative
stores, to doctors Shops" and
to certain traders styling them
selves drug companies. The mix
lures made were afterward anal
yzed, to find out how nearly they
agreed with the prescriptions they
represented; hut in order to give
a liberal margin for error it was
resolved not to put n black mark
against any one if the chief con.
stituent were within 10 per CT. of
the right amount. Notwilhstand
ing this margin, no fewer than II
out of the fifty mixtures were in.
correctly dispensed. In one case
the principal drug was less by 50
per cent. than the amount ordered
while in another II was 81 per cent
in excess. The chemists and drug
gists came out best in this strange
competition, as only q per cent. Of
their prescriptions had to be called
in question. Next came the co
operative stores with 90 per cent
of error; then the doctors shops
with 90 per cent and lastly the
drug companies, who are credited
or rather discredited, with 70 pei
cent, of errors.-Chambers's Jour
nal

This term is applied to all cot
ton raised in the alluvial lands
sklrting the Mississippi nver,
from Memphis to the sugar line in
Louisiana, and embraces in the
production of that particular sta
pie the. riparian fronts of three
States, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Greenville is the cen
tre of the most productive Of this
cotton belt, and there is positively
no exaggeration in the statement
that most of the land within an
area of seventy-fve miles os the
city is capable of producing two
bales of cotton to the acre. Not
only is the staple long and fine,
but measured with others its ten
sile strength is far greater. Some
time ago an Eastern mill, buying
cotton, thought Texas cotton of
the same length of staple TO be as
good, and, as the price was a shade
lower, concluded to buy the Brazos
staple. However, the firm con-
cluded to make a test of the ten.
sile strength, all other conditions
of two samples, one Of the "beDd-
ers' and the other OF Texas, being
equal. Threads ofeach were spun
and weighted. The Texas cotton
broke at forty pounds and the
"bendersn of the same size sus-
tanned weights up to seventy.
That was enough. That mill bought
all its cotton from the bends; 9th.
er mills began to find out this re-
quirement of strength and the re-
suit is that the orders of buyers
at Greenville are now five times
in excess of the present supply.

How Panilsiaa was Beaten.

Columbus. o., April l5.-The
legislative committee appointed
to investigate charges Of bribery
in electlng If. b. Payne Senator,
January, 1884, reported this eve
ming. The majority report, signed
by three Republicans. is lengthy,
aud is accompanied by 500 pages
Ofeyidehce, the important points
of which are cited to show that
while none of the members of the
present Assembly have been con
clusively impeaehed, the case has
been made as TO corrupt method.
and the testimony fully justifes
that it be certified at once to the
United States Senate for action
by that body in considering Payne's
right to a seat.
Most of the witnesses testifying
as to use of money were Demo
Gratis, some being old members of
the Legislature who were at one
time offered various sums.
Evidence is cited to show two
banks wherein Representative
Ranney deposited s25OO each, and
also TO show large investments
at the time by Slate Senator I'll.
mer, White, and Representatives
Mooney, Roche aud others.
The majority report is somewhat
sensational, and has caused a
great stir, especially the evidence
of L. A. Russell, who tells of pick.
ing up a $40 bill on the floor of ID.
II. Pages room, Page being Payne's
manager, and Of j. j. Hall, who
told ofentering John Huutington's
room nnceremouiously anu finding
stacks of bills, more money piled
up than he ever saw in the bank
of which he is a director.
The committee sets forth that
Huntington, who is one of the di
rectors of the Standard Oil Com
paDy, was regarded as the pursel
of the Payne crowd, aud as soor
as this committee was appointed
he fed to Cuba and has not beer
available.
The minority report, signed by
two Democratic members, is de
voted to arguments to impeacl
the most damaging witnesses, ant
whilo admitting that there have
been many newspaper rumors ant
much testimony of q general ma
ture as to corruption and .briber!
that there is no direct evidence
and that the connecting link il on
