Butchers' war n New eru,su,,o,,

New BRUNswIcK, N. j., March 25-A
butchers war has excited New Brunswick.
and at the same time amused il. The whole
place is taking advantage of the cut in prices
caused by the war, and yet there seems 70 be
no sign Of its abatement Tue rivalry Is be-
tween two butchers owning stands on Burnet
street. one OF the principal streets Of the
city One Of them made a reduction ii
prices, and the other cut under. Further re-
ductions followed until meats are selling for
half price Some kinds, indeed, are selling
for less One Of the butchers finally offered
some Of his meats for sale at four ce Is a
pound. The other offered the same kinds at
three cents, and agreed to throw in head Of
cabbage with each purchase One OF them
had his store front completely covered with
American flags to attract attention, where
upon the other engaged brass band, which.
he says, viii pay in his shop to draw trade.
Both butchers are losing money heavily.
while all the others are losing trade, but
neither shows any sign of giving up the fight

What a little way we are, after all,
from the lark agesI How many Of my
readers are aware that 1t Is only 100
years this month since the last criminal
was burned at the stake in London-and
that criminal a woman7 Here is the &C
count of that event which a correspon-
dent has sent me: "On the 18th of
March, 1886, nine wretches were *
ecuted at Newgate-four for burglary,
one for theft and three men and one
woman for coming. After the men
were turned off, as the phrase went,
the wretched woman was brought out,
tied to a stake, and burned 10 ashes,
after the form OF strangling her had
been gone through by removing the
stool whereon she stood and SO throwing
her weight on the cord which bound her
throat to the stake. Christian Murphy
was $50 far as l a discovery the last
woman burned alive in London, though
possibly a later victim may have been
executed in some country town."-Lon-
don Truth.

RELATIVE VALVE OF PRO
DTTTS.

One of the most interesting reports that
has lately been issued by the government
is hat of David L. Day, chief Of the divi-
sion OF mining statistics on The Mineral
Resources of the United States.
The value of Wyoming's mineral pos
sessions were never shown up with such
conspicuous advantage. The coal product
of the country amounted, during 1883, to
s2l0,5l7,S24; building stone S25, SOC, 600:
lime SoI, 543, 500; petroleum s24, 59s'559,
natural gas So, 662.i2s, salt 1888, 63G.
The value of the pig iron was SlO7 .OOO,-
900, silver $50, 1876. 5000, gold 1873, 175, 900,
copper $50, $4,000.
1t seems to us that those people who
are anxious for rich gold or silver discov-
cries in the territory will find a good deal
of consolation in the fact hat the coal
aud iron product of the country exceeded
the value of th3 silver product last year
by coo per cent.
So long as Wyoming is the storehouse
Of such minerals as coal and iron her peo-
pie need not feel e%nvious of those states or
territories which abound in more or less
gold AMI silver.

AND SONS.

1t is reported that Simon Cameron re-
Gently said of his son, the present Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania; YES, Don had
many advantages, but / had one which
overbalanced them all-poverty." He
might have gone further says the st.
Louis Globe Democrat and expressed a
doubt if the latter would have ever been
heard of in national politics but for the
prestige of his fathers name and the as
s~istance of his fathers counsel and inhu-
cncc. 1t does not follow hat Donald
could have duplicated Simon's success
under the same conditions. This advan-
tage of poverty would probably have
proved to be n fatal intolerance to him.
His career has certainly not demonstrated
that he is the Kind of man who would
have conquered in spite of all obstacles,
aud whose native force and adroitness
would inevitably have made him a party
leader. He is reasonably well equipped
for political life, but he is not to be COM
pared in any respect to his father. 1t was
his good luck to have certain parental
friendships and ~elecuoneering agencies
placed at his disposal, with old Simon
himself standing in the background as a
manager; and he has profted by them to
an extent which indicates only the de-
gree OF ability required to win success
when one has the way prepared fer him
and fortune propitIated in his tavor to be-
gin with.
The same is to be said of the sons of
other fathers with whom the country is
familiar. Lincoln's son. the present min
lister to England, is a very clever and
reputable gentleman, who has done fairly
well whenever called to public service;
but it is not possible to believe that if he
had begun life as a barefootcd boy in
frontier poverty, like his father, he would
ever have achieved any sort of national
notice. His political prosperity is due to
the fact that he bears q great and revercd
name, far more than to his own modest
ability or to any distinct inheritance of
the qualities that made his father immor-
tai. The son of Grant now serving as
Minister to Austria, is another immediate
example. He has himself said that he
resembles his father only in the respect
that he can not make a speech; and yet
it is wholly by virtue OF this connection
which is not a resemblance that he occu.
pies one OF the most honorable and re.
sponsible of diplomatic positions. Had he
been Obliged to make his way under the
same conditions which surrounded hi,
father, he would hardly have risen higt
enough to be seen beyond his native vii.
