New YORK, January 19th.-The Northern
Pacific Directors, at their regular meeting
to-day, formally ratified the lease of the

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Discussion of a Humber of Topics of Ma
tional Importance.

DASSooohoh VI h n uIhDtT OIL IODICS OF Ma
tional Importance.
WASHINGTON, January 19th.-Before the
National Board of Trade, Captain H. G..
Taylor, U. 5. N, read paper on the pro-
gress of the work on the Nicaragua Canal
and the important commercial results to
follow its construction. Captain TAYLOR
said: The requirements of commerce make
1t certain that there will be a transit for
ships between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. American engineers are now on
the ground resurveving the route and max
ing final location of the line of the canal.
J. Nj. Miller, Manager of the Stoninpton
steamboat line, followed, and said The
international commerce OF the Western
States, seeking an exit through the Missis-
siPpi, is ready for the market of Sontl,
America. The minerals, grain and lum-
Der OF the Pacific States and Territories
await new and shorter channels TO the

opment of the trade of Central America the
future must show, but to-day sufficient
tonnage exists 10 yield 20 the Isthmian Ca
nal II per cent. on the capital of one hum
dred million dollars. Mr.. Miller argued
the superiority of the Nicaragua route. and
declared that England and Germany stand
ready to avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty, should it offer, to control the route.
No action was taken upon the subject.
Postal telegraphy was taken up. Thur
Der of New York submitted answers to the
questions he had sent to Kenrick B. Muir
ray, Secretary of the London Chamber of
Commerce. Mr.. Murray in substance said
the purchase and operation of the tele-
graphs by the British Governments were
successful as far as the service was con-
cerned, but not financially to the postof1ice.
The quickness, certainty and secrecy of the
service was improved under the postotfice
management. The increase of employees
In the postoffice service had been produc-
tive of political benefit. The inducements
to get up new inventions in telegraphy was
not SO great under the Government system
as II the system was in private hands. The
recent reduction in tolls have been of great
benefit to the public, the number of mes
ssages sent having increased 33 per cent,
but the revenue increased only per cent.
The almost universal popular sentiment is
against return to the private management
of the wires.

SCALDING BRINE FOR MEATs.-A cor

Rurdt Press pom the subject of curing
meats as follows: awhile there have been
a number of excellent recipes and direc-
tions about sailing pork and bacon, one
very essential requisite has been omitted,
and that is thorough scalding and skim
ming of the brine before it is applied
to the meat. After all impurities that
may arise have been carefully removed it
should then be poured ON to the meat
while it is hot. Even if it is hot enough
to start the grease, no harm will result. l

two offers of marriage, and had the two
weddings set for the same day. Two
licenses were issued and two bands and
suppers engaged. There was but one we'd

BosToN, January 19th.-The Executive
Council on yesterday denied the last appeal
in behalf Of Nowlin, the boy-murderer Of
Somerville, and there is nothing now to
save him from the gallows on Friday. The

since his arrest. He eats and sleeps as
naturally as any boy of his age, and as the

alization of the situation. Sheriff Gushing
