Marketing in China.
ExchanRe.

A Chinese market is noisy and ani- mated. You ask the price of shad for instance, or of crabs, and the dealer raises the price of an ounce by so many cash, which you have to beat down. What Adam Smith called the "hig- gling of the market" exists here in its perfection. After wasting consider able time in talking and splitting dif- ferences, you at last decide to buy, or the trader concludes to sell. But however much you may congratulate yourself on having made good bar gain, you cannot be certain that others may not make much better bargains with the same man. Vegetables are sold by other dealers, and the same process must be gone through before you can make fair purchase. Gro- cery stores are plenty, and there you will find on sale all sorts of sauces, preserves, sugars, and SO forth, in fact whatever is dealt in by grocers in America.
 Beef is not often eaten by the Chi nese, on account of their religious scruples, most of them being tinged, more or less with Buddhism, but especially because the OK is used in blowing. Occasionally you will find stall for the sale of beef. Through the same prejudice, little cows milk is used by the people, and that little is made into thin cakes, well salted, to be taken as a relish.
 But a kind of cheese is made of bean curd. The beans are ground in hand mills and dissolved in water, then strained and steamed. The re- suit is perfectly white cake, some- thing like blanc-mange. It is eaten with shrimp sauce. This cake is also dried. There is also a sauce made from beans.
 You perhaps wonder why I have not described the cats, kittens, and dogs, which are said to be the com- mon food of the Chinese people. The reason is because no such things are to be found in the market. In fact, I know of no place where such articles of food can be had, except in low part of Canton, where people who are almost starved will buy almost any, thing to sustain life. The Chinese people live on wholesome food, as you will learn from good authorities. They eat rice as you eat bread. They make cakes of wheat, too.

A Curious but Valuable Gift.
Springfield (Mass.) Union.


 The man is still living who seven- teen years ago walked into the rooms of the Bible Society in Boston and electrified the persons whom he found there, first by his appearance, and secondly, by the communication which he had to make. His appearance be- tokened more than poverty, for his shabby clothes were tied together with strings. What in the world had brought such man there, was the question every one asked himself, and the wonder can be better imagined than described when the stranger re- marked that he had property to the amount of $75,000, which he would like to turn over to the society if he could be guaranteed ten per cent an- nually upon it for the remainder of his life, his age then being seventy nine. The officers suppressed their amazement as we'll as they could, took his name, verified his schedule of his possessions and submitted the case to the directors. They looked the matter over ill the light of actuaries' tables, etc., and finally, after much delibera- tion, decided that the risk was too great and so notified the would be donor. Not long after he came back and renewed his proposition to turn the money over to the society, and said that he would be content with seven per cent annually. That proposition was accepted, and for some years he appeared regularly at the expiration of the year and drew his interest, talk ing $200 in cash and the company's note for the balance. After doing this for seven years or so he turned those notes back to the company, saying he had no use for them. He is now, at the age of ninety-six, blind, deaf and crippled by fall so that he cannot walk, and the Bible Society pays the bills for his support.

A Woman's Confession.

"Do you know, Mary, once actu- ally contemplated suicide?" "You horrify me, Mrs. B. Tell me about it." "I was suffering from chronic weakness. l believed myself the most unhappy woman in the world. looked ten years older than I really was, and felt twenty. Life seemed to have nothing in it worth living tor." "I have experienced all those symptoms myself. .Well?" "Well, 1 was saved at the eleventh hour from the commission Of @ deed which shudder to think of. A friend ad- vised me to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. l did so. In an in- credibly short time I felt like new being. The Prescription cured me, and l owe Dr. Pierce debt of grati. tude which can never repay"

The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hoods Sarsaparilla are sufficient proof that this medicine does possess peculiar curative power. In the severest cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when other preparations had been powerless, the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla has brought about the happiest results. The case of Miss Sarah c. Whittier, of Lowell, Mass, who suffered terribly from scrofulous sores; that of Charles A. Roberts, of East Wilson, N. r., who had thirteen abscesses on his face and
 neck; that of Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass, who had hip disease and scrof-
 ula so bad that physicians said he could not recover, are few of the many instances in which wonderful cures were effected by this medicine.

AN OLD MANS ADAGE.
BY REV. PHILIP BURROUGHS STRONG

When but boy man I met, Who one good lesson taught me, That has through all succeeding years Sweet consolation brought me; This was the maxim which he gave (You'll smile when declare it), "The pinchipg shoe grows easier, The longer that you wear It." A homely proverb, I confess, Yet priceless truth explaining, And one that gives in troubles hour The strength for calm sustaining; For every in doth lighter seem As more we learn to bear It. "The pinching shoe grows easier, The longer that you wear it." The care that is at first 80 great, The once Overwhelming sorrow, Will lessen as the days go by And morrow follows morrow; Though great the force of grief may be Time will in part impair it. "The pinching shoe grows easier, The longer that you wear It.. Did time not bring this sure decrease To bitterness and anguish, How many, many hopeless hearts In hopeless woe would languish; An, well it is we find it true,
 How e'er with us may fare it, "The pInching shoe grows easier. The longer that you wear it..

I have been afflicted with catarr

I have been afflicted with catarrh for twenty years. It became chronic and there was constant drop ping of mucous matter. It extended to my throat, causing hoarseness and great difficulty in. speaking, indeed for years l was not able to speak more than thirty minutes, and often this with great difficulty. I also, to a great extent, lost the sense of hearing in the left ear, and of taste. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm all droppings of mucous has ceased and my voice and hearing has greatly improved Jas. W. Davidson, Attorney at Law, Monmouth, III.

WORK OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION

N. 0. Times Democrat, i9une 9.
A number of prosFectors and immi.
grants We're in the city yesterday from
the west. They seemed much pleased
with Louisiana, and will undoubtedly
make Investments here.
The following named gentlemen reg,
istered at the State immigration Blu,
reau, l59 Common street, yesterday
and were furnished with letters of in
PRODUCTION to influential parties in
Southwestern Louisiana, their destina.
ton: A. G, Montgomery, r. C. Leech
and w. I? Simmons. They are from
York, Nebraska.
Mr.. A. L. Davis, a we'll known Mich
igan real estate dealer, leaves for Nat
%chitoches, La, this morning to estab-
lish q general real estate business in
that city. Mr.. Davis was also furnish.
ed with letters from the secretary OF
the State immigration Association to
leading men in Natehitoches.
The association is doing good work
in putting these homeseekers and in
v~estors in communication with reputa-
BILE and enterprising men throughout
the State. The association has n OF
its executive committee or a director
in every parish ofDthe State.
CIR. Mullenger, from Dakota, has es-
tablished himself in Houma, La.
Mr.. Brady, who is now in Michigan
in the interest of the State Association
writes Col. Norman that he is having
great success, and will @e down soor

Newspaper Laws.

, Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary are considered wishing to con-
tinue their subscription.
If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their periodicals, the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the office to which they
are directed, they are responsible until they
have settled their bills, and ordered them dis
continued. S
Ifsubscribers move to other places without
informing the publishers, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they are held res
ponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
iske periodicals from the office, or removing
end leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence Of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to give notice TO the publisher at the
end of their time, ifthey do not wish to conf
tinue taking the paper; otherwise the publ
Usher is authorized to send it on and the
subscribers will be responsible until an ex-
press notice, with payment of all arrears, is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal law decision isl the eff,
feet that publishers Of newspapers can, under
the law, arrest any man for fraud who takes q
paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law til a dangerous trick for a man to allow
his subscription account to run on from SIN
months or a year unpaid, and then tell the
postmaster to mark it " refused" or send the
editor a postal card to discontinue the paper.

X. The resolution cut off all inves-

box. The resolution cut OH all hives
tigation and closed all discussion.
There are few cases of fraud which
do not leave tracks by which the inta-
nv can be traced. The whole theory
and purpose of tho law of elections OF
1877 in providing for the keeping OF
tally sheets, poll lists and the making
of q statement of votes and preserva-
ton of the ballot boxes by clerks OF
court was to enable parties to trace
and detect fraud. The minority be-
lieve that if they had not beepNa6priyed
of the means of testing the tallies that
the fraud would have been unearthed
and the true story of the discrepancy
on the tally sheets could have been
exposed.
With nearly fifty names and amend
ments voted for 10y the voters at that
precinct, addition to Or subtraction
from the ballots in the box would GER
tainly have been detected, if there was
o purpose to affect the result. There
] was no evidence that the seal had been
broken by design or that the box had
been tempered with. On the contrary,
HDn. E. II. Lewis, the judge of the dis
trict court, testified in the committee
that he had no reason to think that 1t
had been, and that a count of the bal
lots was the best evidence, provided
that the ballot boxes and ballots were
not tempered with and would show the
true result of the election. Your mi
nority would say that this testimony
was given prior to sending for the box
and poll list, and without q knowledge
that the seal had been broken. What
your minority complains of isNthat NJ
evidence of how the seal"was broken q
as to the box having been tampered
with being before the committee, the
box was rejected without any effort be.
inc made to see if it was valuable a.
evidence.
Until testimony is given it cannot b'
said to be worthless. Until IL person
has testified You will not be heard tt
say that he is not worthy of belief.
No court will condemn IL man with
out hearing him. No paper will be re
iected until it is first looked at. UpnI
ii careful consideration of this case, the
undersigned have been unable to agree
with Il majority of the committee ant
to concur in the report presented by
the chairman. They respectfully urg'
that the contestant, Stagg, has taile'
to make out il ease against Hon. {. Z
Duson for the seat of Senator from til,
Twelfth Senatorial District. and sub
NIT the accompanying resolution as
substitute for the resolution offered by
the chairman of the committee.
Respectfully,
Original signed)

for the seat of Senator from the TWelft
