THE new silver certificates hearing the
vignette of Martha Washington, is a
great hit, and the ladies who receive
them at the shops are delighted that
their sex is now recognized on our cur
rency. They never counted the Goddess
of Liberty as one OF them. They want
Dolly Madison and other famous women
of the White House on future issues.
There really seems to be some good
reason for imrsessing upon the rising
generation some idea of the early women
of the Republic at least. Qua list of
great statesmen has been exhausted on
bank notes and postage stamps.

Fresh Australian Butter.

The enterprising colony Of Victoria, en-
couraged by the satisfactory results flowing
from the trade in fresh meats is bent on
tempting the English markets with fresh
Australian butter 1t is argued that the sys-
tenn of refrigeration by which meat is kept
fresh during the long voyage to England viii
serve equally as well in the case of butter,
and it is pointed out that butter produced in
the antipodean summer would reach the Eng
lish markets in time to command a ready
sale during midwinter Chicago Times.

Proportions of the Canning business

The preservation of fish, vegetables and
fruits by the canning process, known as her
metical sealing, is by no means a new idea Of
recent years, but to such tremendous proper
tions has the canning process reached that it
Is now a separate industry and thousands re-
ceive employment in the various canneries
which are distributed throughout the eastern
and western states of the Union. 1t is said
that the canning of goods as a business was
commenced in the United States during the
Mexican war, and during the rebellion it
rapidly developed into a leading industry
To-day the different articles that are pre-
served in this way are almost innumerable,
and in addition to fish, fruits and vegetables
there are poultry, meats, chowder, soups,
plum puddings, hash, baked beans, sauces,
ETC. and as the prejudice against them, aris-
ing from fear of poisoning, has been entirely
overcome by the extreme care exercised in
the canneries, powerfully influenced, no
doubt, by the stringent laws that have been
made, the consumption Of canned goods is
now simply enormous There are hundreds
of packers distributed all over the country,
and there is a very great variation in the
quality of the goods packed.-Chicago Tri-

THE unsuccessful striver in any det
partment of life may lose his property,
his situation, his means of LIVELIHOOD;
all his plans may come to naught and
all bis effoIts be frustrated; but, until
he lose his courage, he has not lost all.
Instead of sitting down idly to mourn
over dead hopes, let him apply himself
vigorously to the nearest duty, and his
spirits and his fortunes will alike rise
triumphant from the ashes of the past.
Even small disappointments and vexa-
tions, such as assail US continually, lose
half their sting by such treatment. The
more we brood upon them the more af g.
fiictive they become; but. busily en-
ployed in the nearest duty, we forget
their sharpness and learn unconsciously
to bear them with firmness.

The habit of veracity cannot be over
estimated in importance if we really de-
sire to enjoy the fullness of Christian
experience. We do not refer to wilfOl
and secret revarication-much less to
open falsehood. Such are conceded to be
despicable, and are positively destruc-
tive to all manly character. We refer
rather to that secret Withholding of the
truth by which one party may mislead
another, to matters trivial or important.
Genuine honestly in our intercourse
should not arise from mere motives of
policy, but from lively sense of what
eternal rectitude is in itself; and also
from just views of what that rectitude
requires of all responsible intelligence.

PInal Adjournment.
IsrEo1IL TO TIE LrprAL.I

JACKSON, Miss, March lS.--The
Legislature adjourned sine die at noon
to-day. Both houses were in session
until o'clock last night, being in dis
agreement over the revenue on the
privilege tax bill. A committee Of
conference finally adjusted the differ
ences, and the same passed. There
seems, however, some important
omissions in the hurried enrolment
OF the bill, discovered since the adj
journment and too late for correction.
The House to-day passed the Senate
bill increasing the State tax TO three
and one-half mills by amending it so
as 10 make the tax three mills for
1886 and 1887, after which time one
half mill is TO be added to provide
for the payment and interest on bonds
provided for at the present session.
Nothing else OF importance was
passed last night, and to-day sundry
pet local and private bills were called
up by members OF both houses and
rushed through.
There was the usual turmoil and
confusion consequent upon the adj
journment~o Legislature. All left
in good spirits.
Combinations by Senate last night
and to-day: The Hon. Warren

District; as clerk of the Railroad

MY HERO.


What signifies the outward showl
What signifies his wealth or placer
When we the heart have learned TO know
What do we care for form or facet
And what care we for name or creed
That butied ages may unroll,
If under all we clearly read
The record Of a dauntless foul
If loyal TO his sense of right,
IL prompt and sure at Duty's call,
He walks, as walking In Gods sight,
His aim the manifest man of all;
II helpful as the suntright day,
II pititul Of others woes,
He follows In the Masters way
And hears q blessing where HI goes;
II, gaining much, he loses all,
While summer friends 20 coldly by,
He proves his courage by his fall,
Resolved 70 win the day or die
With hope alive, in God his trust,
He keeps spirit kind and true,
And rises brave y from the dust
To fight his weary battle through;
IT, working on through pain and loss,
His earnest soul be not cast down;
He benreth patiently hi' cross.
While winning tteadily his crown;
The mans here and we give
The need Of ldve, which is his due,
No idle praise but while we live,
The wreath " bay the knot Of blue!

against the conviction as well as the
execution. The EIpress says this was
certainly case in which there was
room for doubt. No sufficient motive
was shown, her character had not
been impeached; hatred between her
self and her husband was not shown !;
and the possession OF poison was not
traced to her. All that was proven
directly was that her husband died
from arsenical poisoning. There was
clearly a reasonable doubt Of her guilt
and she should have been acquitted.

The wreck Of the Oregon.

CHICAGO Ill, March lS.-Judge
Drummond and Mr.. j. V. Farwell,
who were passengers on tie Oregon,
arrived in Chicago last night. Judge
Drummond, who began his career as
a sailor before the mast, gives thrill
ing narrative of the disaster, and as
TO its cause said. at is manifest that
the steamer was more or less at fault,
and it was the result OF carelessness.
At least fifteen passengers who were
on deck at the time told me that they
could distinctly see the vessel as she
approached, and, what is more, they
could see Long Island, seven miles
distant. The weather was clear, and
the wind was blowing only fair sail
ing breeze. 1t is my opinion that the
vessel was headed athwart our course.
According to the rules Of the road at
sea she had the right OF way, and it
was the business of the steamer to
either fall off and let her pass to lee
ward, or check up and let her cross
our bows. Instead of this the Oregon
forged ahead at full rate of speed,
and the schooner struck her" Mr..
Farwell said that, in his opinion the
signals were inadequate to the needs,
as the cannon could probably not be
heard twenty rods distant, and the
sky rockets did not ascend higher
than the masts. Both gentlemen
speak in the warmest terms of the
prompt and courageous behavior of
the captain.
