The Intrinsic Cash Value of a Man

Ihe sntr1nS1C CnSh VA1uG or a man.
We have it on the authority of Thack-
cray that you have to wait until forty
years before you know the worth of
lass. The knowledge would not then
appear to have much value; and it is
fortunate that science now presents an
exact means of determining the worth
of lad at any age. The last census
the archives of the National Museum
officials, or some other infallible author
ity, have had his constituent ingredi-
tnts weighed, appraised and filed away
as a permanent standard of value in
st Washington-much as the Smithson-
ian Institution or other grave authority
preserves the standard yardstick or the
standard quart, 1t is somewhat of a
relief thus to find the value of an every
day 154-pound young man placed by
the government as high as $1S,3OO.
We had not deemed they took so ex-
alted a view of human nature az Wash
ington. But they give us chapter and
verse for the same; or, rather, weight
and measure; for they have the body OF
such a man neatly decomposed and put
up in jars or bottles on the shelf.-From

The Camp ReIease Monument,

rooms of Gen. Andrews of old settlers
and others who felt lively interest in
the project, and they all expressed
their admiration for the design.
The granite men who came before the
committee favored the native granite,
which, being acclimated, is equal if
not really superior to foreign stone,
especially for large and heavy struc-
lures, and it was consequently decided
to have it built of Minnesota red gran
ite. =
The design chosen is a monument
representative of classic art rather
than of allegorical character. The
shaft will stand fifty feet high upon
pedestal nine feet wide.
The monument is to be erected at
Camp Release, as it is designated, on
a slightly point on the bank of the
Minnesota river, in Lac qui Parle coun-
ty.
AS the cut above will show, it will
be elegant in every way. The spire
and the sides upon which the inscrip-
ton is to be chiseled, will be highly pol
ished. The inscription will read:
Erected by the
State of Minnesota.

Keeley Pays no License.

A few weeks ago the State authori-
ties of Tennessee instructed their
agents to collect liquor license from
Kelley Institutes in that State, the
claim being made that as these insti-
tutes in the course of their treatment
furnished their patients with liquor
in quantities adapted to their needs,
they therefore laid themselves liable
to license the same as any other insti.
tuition where liquor was dealt out.
The situation was peculiar, in the
anomaly of an institute intended to in
duce sobricty, paying license for re.
failing liquor. The Kelley people
took stand against it, and the result
is that the State has been knocked out
in the courts, as United States Com
missioner Ewing decides taat the Kee-
ley Institutes of Tennessee are not liza.

On the coast Of Zanzibar, Africa,
the capture by the British cruiser
Philomel of slave dhows is of frequent
occurrence. The traffic is largely car
ried on under the French flag. A
boats crew from q man-of-war boarded
q large dhow flying the French flag.
They demanded the papers which
proved correct, and the right of search
was denied. One of the sailors kicked
off the hatch; then number of little
arms were stretched up from below.
Seventy seven slaves we're crowded be-
tween the two decks without light or
air. The captain exclaimed in dis
gust: "What is the use of my paying

dhow, to give slight respite from the
horrors of confinement on board of
which they had been dying.

There are two rules posted in all
the street cars in all large cities of this
country, one forbidding passengers to
get off before the car stops, the other
requiring them to get off on the side
nearest the walk. They are both
needed rules, and both are made par
ticularly for women. But it is only
rarely, and then by more or less show
of force, that women are induced to
obey either one Of them and they al
ways, by look or voice, resent their
enforcement. OF course men disobey
the rules also, but with far less risk,
and generally accept conductors re-
straint or warnings good-nsturedly.

Dnn,s Trade Review.

r. G. Dun II Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Returns from every part of the
country show decided improvement.
A hopeful feeling prevails and money
grows abundant at speculative centres
and somewhat easier for commercial
purposes.
The number of establishments that
are reported as resuming work are
thirty one, wholly, and twenty-six in
part, which still exceeds the number
closing thirty-three for the past week
besides ten reducing force, so that the
hands employed nave somewhat in
creased.
Industrial Improvement is largely
in cotton and otherwise appears scare
ly more satisfactory than last week.
In all eighteen metal works have
started in part and six wholly, while
thirteen have stopped and fourteen
have reduced hands or wages. The
output of pig iron on September LIST.
proves to have been so, 602 tons week.
ly decrease of SO, $40 since May LIST,
indicating that only 45 per cent. of
the productive force was employed.
Sales of grey forge for 81 at Birming-
ham and of steel billets, for $3.50
at Pittsburg, support the statement
that the resumption of work in many
cases is at the expense of great sacri-
flee in price. But in this industry
business revives more vigorously at
the West than at the East
An obvious effect of short crops is
that railroad earnings may shrink,
with smaller demand, the coming
year, for iron products and for stocks
An abundance of money seeking loans
on collaterals and calls tends to render
! the market Indifferent to public alb
; stention and reduced earnings.
The restriction of domestic trade is
shown in the clearing house returns at
the principal cities, which show de-
| cline of 23.4 per cent. as compared
with last year; but it is too soon for
the improvement just commenced to
effect payments. The expectation of
large foreign investments is not yet
realized, and exchanges have declined
toward the gold-exporting point, as
future exports of products are liable
to be restricted by the shortness of
crops and the advance in prices here.
Exports last week were large, and
for two weeks have been 80 per cent.
more than for the same time last year,
while decrease of 81 100000 appears
in imports for the last two weeks. 1t
is largely due to the fact that values of
coffees and sugar from Brazil were
stated last year in paper worth about
40 cents on the dollar

ported this week have been, in the

The Confederate Reunion Will Not
BE Held October2.
HEADQUARTERS

HEADQUARTERS y
UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS,
New ORLEANS, La, Sept. l6. }
General Order No. l0S
l. The general commanding deeply
regrets that an almost universal re-
quest for postponement of the United
Confederate reunion, which was to
have been held at Birmingham, Ala,
on the I'd and 81 days of October next,
compels him, very reluctantly, to issue
this order. 1t was sincerely hoped by
him, and it was his earnest wish that
10 impeachment would arise which
would hinder the veterans from meet
ing upon that date, but the increasing
demand for pOstponement, based upon
the extreme depression and poverty of
the country, makes the postponement
imperative, the date of the reunion to
be fixed hereafter.
2. The general commanding an
nounces with pride and congratulates
the United Confederate Veterans that
No. 400 has been reached in the en-.
rollment of camps in our benevolent
and noble federation, and that appli-
cation has been made to these head
quarters for necessary forms and
blanks for membership of over 100
more,
Out of the temporary disappoint
ment of the postponement a silver inv
ing appears, which may result in great
good to the organization. Enthusiasm
is now aroused in Alabama, North
and South Carolina and Georgia.
Lieut.. Gen. VII. Cabell, command,
ing the trans Mi ssissippi department,
is pushing the organizations in Arkan-
sas and Texas, also in Missouri, the
heroic veterans of that grand old com.
monwealth having just forwarded res.
olutions of sympathy and willingness
to cooperate with the United Confed-
crate Veterans, so that by the date the
reunion is held it is believed that al!
of the states will be fully organized
and that the hearts of the old veterans
will be gladdened at their next meet
ing by the sight of a full representa-
ton of their surviving comrades, so
that they can all unite in measures for
the benefit of the living and to care
for the graves and memory of our
dead.

million of Canadians on the south OF

backward. The American Consulate
IN Toronto has had little else to do
during the past year than dispatch i'm
migrants to the United States. In this
city 5000 houses are vacant, and
though this is partly due to overspec-
