A Great Cargo.

1t is announced that the British
steamship Montezuma left New Or.
leans last week for n foreign port with
a cargo Of 14.S98 bales of cotton and
about 10000 bushels of wheat. The
Picayunc claims that this is the larg-
est cargo of cotton which ever left
that or any other port. The fact that
q ship of such immense carrying capac.
ity, loaded with Il full cargo, can be
handled at the wharvea Of New Orleans
and pass out to sea without Interrupt
ton is n great achievement for that
rort. and demonstrates the Immense
value of the jetties to the commerce
Of that city. The Picayune says: 1.-THE
present season promises to witness a
greater gathering of big ships at New
Orleans than was ever experienced be-
fore. There is, for instance, now on
the way the British steamship Maroa,
with q net tonnage Of $500 tons. This
vessel can be counted on to take out
an immense cotton cargo. The tenden.
cy to increase the size of the els
engaged in the cotton trade is going
OF. from year to year; hence the ex.
portation of the crop to foreign couu.
tries is effected Mt q more rapid rate
than was ven dreamed Of a quarter
Of a century ago."-Baltimore Sun.

Where Counterfeitins Fails.

There are several interesting declara-
tons in the annual repor: Of William
P. Hazen, Chief of the United States
Secret Service. He says that it has be-
come an easy matter. owing to the de-
velopment Of photo-litography, to make
a faithful imitation of the designs Of
our paper money. The counterfeiter,
however, has never been able to dis
cover how the money used in the manu-
facture of our money is made. 1t has
been a well-guarded secret. The al.
teration of notes is acrime which is in
creasing, and more arrests were made
for this offense last year than in any
previous year. Counterfeiting coin is
also on the increase, but zone of the
counterfeits of silver are very decep-
tive OF dangerous. Strange to say,
there is no Jaw Furnishing the passing
of mutilated, lightened or debased
coins. and the chief therefore recon-
menis such an Observation-Disclosures
phiA Ledger.

Washington, Dec. ia cable Mes
sage of the greatest Importance to the

partment in Washington to Madrid.
1t Is tantam0unt to a formal notice to

adopted by the president for the pro-
lection Of American commerce. under
the authority of the act Of congress of

tries that persist in such discrimina-
tons. One Of the chief offenders in
this respect Is Spain, and for that
reason, Madrid is selected as q point of

Cleaning Pots and Pana.

A woman naturally hates to clean up
a bread or cake bowl after the dough
has got hard. They should be cleaned
as soon as used, but if necessary to
leave them for a time, run the tray or
bowl full Of cold water and let it
stand SO. When you get ready to clean
1t the dough will be in the bottom Of
the utensil as a general thing, and you
will only have to rinse and dry it. The
same is true Of kettles and skillets. I
do not approve Of setting any utensils
aside when the dishes are washed,
for If you keep m oyster shell with a
thick smooth edge at hand you can
clean the roughness out of anything
in half a moment, but If you don't
want to do it just then you will find
that an iron pot in which potatoes
have been burned to the bottom, or a
skillet in which meat or gravy has SIM
mered to a crust, will be easy enough
to clean, after standing an hour or two
filed with cold w~ater,-Washingto1

He Ia Arrnfgned and Entera q Plea
of Not Guilty-HarrS Hayward II
Brought Into Court and the In.
dtctment In Rend.
Minneapolis, Dec. 19.-This morning
Claus \. Blixt was led up before the
district court bar by Sheriff Eye. He
sWayed as the sheriff released him and
seemed almost to fall, but recovered
himself and stood with fingers clasped
across his breast, gazing ut the judge.
II. Il. Odell appeared for the prisoner.
OH his behalf ertcred a plea Of not
guilty. BliXt did not appear to under
stand what w;ls going on, and County
Attorney Nye inquired whether he un-
derstoOd the plea. DO you. know that
you are pleading not guilty?" EYES,"
answered the prisoner in a whisper,
II understand" Blixt was then led
back to his seat. The trial was set
for Jan. &.
Later in the day Harry r. Hayward
was taken befO.c Judge Hicks to hear
The reading of the indictm. ent. He
listened attentively while the indict-
ment was read. The prisoner made
no plea, reserving this for a future
time.
Hayward was brought into court by
Sheriff Eye and two deputies. He ap-
peared in the same clothes lie has
since his incarceration, and there
was q decided difference between the
~fashtonably clad young man who un-
derwent so severe Al inuuisition at
the hands of Mayor Eustis and the
rather dingy looking individual in
in court to-day. Hayward betrayed
none of the evidences Of guilty fear
that characterized Blixt's entrance
through the same door earlier in the
day. He walked with his head up, and
appeared to resent the sheriff's hold
upon his arm. The effect of his con-
finement showed in the mans face,
though. He was pale and slightly hag-
gard. but there was the same super
cilious air about him. that has been
noticeable from the first.
Great care had been taken that the
time of Hayward's arraignment should
not be known. and there was but a
small crowd in the court room. The
prisoners attorneys, Hale II Morgan,
remained close to him during the time
he was i'm court. and lie smiled when
spoken to by one Of them. His entire
bearing was that of an innocent man,
ana lie IS without question the most
cOnsummate actor we called on to
q Il criminal Indictment.
After thu proceedings had been COM
plctcd. Hayward was taken out
through the side door by Sheriff Eye.
A crowd had gathered on the street,
and there We're one or two remarks
as he was marched through it to the
hack. Hayward heard them and
glanced contcmptuously at the people
standing about. Then he entered the
carriage and was driven back to Jail
in ST.. Paul.

Hartford. Conn, Dec. 10. - John
Cronin was hanged here early this
morning. He killed Albert skinner
Oct. T., 1871.
Tho execution uf Cronin was espe-
cially interesting. being the first hang
Ing In this state under the law passed
by the last general assembly, aud the
first trial Of an automatic gallOws In
the East. This last is the idea Of
Warden Woodbridge. Aided by james
II. Babbett. a fnrgcl now serving a
two and Il half years sentence, the
warden evolved what he considers IN
Improvement Oh the hanging machine
In use In Colorado. Small shot has
been substituted for water in the OPP
GRAFTON of tho lever which released
tile weight and arrangement made
whereby the execution may he stayed
at any moment. The compartment in
which the shot are confined resem-
blcs au hour glass, and the mechanism
employed is thoroughly under the
warden's control. The shot vas start
ed in motion by the movement of a
lever, and another lever would have
enabled the warden to have stopped
1t Mt any time. The progress Of the
shot and the approaching moment
when the weight would be released
was indicated on n dial resembling q
clock. This is also an arrangement
by which the execution could be ef-
fected at n c When Cronin had been
seated in the chair and made fast Il
signal from the eXecutioner indicated
to the man who had charge of the
lever that he was ready. The ma
chinery was then set in motion, there
being no visible evidence of anything
unusual. The adjustment of the ma
chinery was made so perfect that the
weight Of BOG pounds made no per-
ceptible noise as it was released and
fell to the ground beneath. Instan-
%taneously the victim was jerked into
the air. falling backward within two
feet of the fiOor.
