“Corners and Deals.”
The failure of MeGeoch, the “Milwau
kee milkman." who undertook the big
“corner” in lard, which was followed by
sympathetic disastrous affections of the
grain and provision markets in general,
recalls public attention to these immoral
and colossal ventures called “deals”
and “corners.” They affect not merely
the gamblers themselves, as the ope
latives should fitly be termed,
but the harm they beget extends through
out the circle of trade, affecting honest
dealers and innocent consumers. Under
the old common law these offenses were
designated, and due punishment was pre
scribed for those engaged in them.
They are crimes of greater mag
nitude now, in view of the
gigantic proportions they assume.
Under the common law “ Forestalling”
consisted in buying up food products on
their way to market, or before thev
reached it, with the intent to sell again at
a higher price; and also in every device
or practice, by word, deed, “news”
or conspiracy to enhance the price
of food or provisions. This was the old |
time “corner.”
“Engrossing” was the buying up of
large quantities ot any’ staple article for !
the markets, so as to obtain a monopoly
of it, for the purpose of selling at an un
reasonable price. This applied, however, ,
mainly to articles of food, and was also j
in the nature of the modern “corner” or 1
“deal.”
“Regrading” was somewhat similar. It I
embraced, and the law upon the subject '
forbade every practice or device by’ act, i
conspiracy, words, or “news,” to enhance 1
the price of articles of food or other mor- i
chandise.
These are precisely the things—these
common law crimes—that make up a
large proportion of the every day “busi
ness” of certain miscalled “business
men” on many of the “exchanges,” but j
particularly in Chicago, who “deal” and '
“corner” and then burst, causing most j
injurious disturbances in the regular !
channels of commerce, and occasionally i
resulting in panics and disasters through- I
out the country. Two almost uniform
effects of a big “corner” in grain
or provisions are to prevent ships from
getting cargoes promptly, and serious in
terference with the regular progress of
transportation on the railroads. These
effects react upon employes of all grades,
and do material damage to the earnings
of labor. They are infinitely worse in
the ramifications of the injury they do i
than was possible in the old days, when i
the perpetrators of such damages were j
sent to jail.
It is but the accident of the strong posi- '
tion of the trade of the United States, that '
sometimes prevents a great collapse, like ;
that which attended the McGeoch “deal” |
in Chicago the other day, from causing j
widespread disaster and ruin throughout I
the length and breadth of the country’— I
just such a calamity as happened in 1873.
In the olden days such crimes were
punished by fine and imprisonment on a |
diet of bread and water,by standing in,the [
pillory for a second offense, and for a
third by the lopping off of ;
an ear and perpetual infamy. In
many States to-day there are
statutes forbidding these practices,
but while they are tolerated by respecta
ble commercial bodies no remedy for them
can be expected. To the deluded who,
on the strength of the “deals,” hazard the
little that they have or that they can
scrape up, the only counsel that can be
given is “Don’t.” But it is only when
they run the risk and lose that they’
acquire the wisdom of the burned child
that dreads the fire.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes that the health
authorities are in communication with
the Quarantine Commissioners with refer
ence to the fleet of tea ships that are ex
pected to arrive in that harbor witlfin the
next sixty days, via the Suez Canal, and
which must ot necessity pass through the
Egyptian cholera belt. The propriety of
1 at once suspending steamship communi
| cation with the infected country has been
discussed—but that step would be so bold
’ an innovation commercially, that the
j question is not one to be rashly decided,
; though the public health, of course, is
j paramount to trade. When the cholera
I was here before, the existing cable fa.cili-
■ ties with the Mediterranean were un-
I known, and it is deemed a point worth
I considering, therefore/ whether we can
j not avail ourselves ot these in such a way’
i as to secure absolute immunity from eon
' tagion by a temporary’ suspension of in
j tereourse with Egyptian shipping. If
there is to bp any quarantining about it,
j the reasoning is that Ityj’onld be infinitely
1 better to begin with Suez than with Staten
■ Island.
In a recent conversation with a Ro
! Chester reporter Mr,S, S. Cox said: “Do
I know Judge Hoadly? Very well. We
studied law in the same office together,
3ml branched out into the world at about
the same time. He is a man of wonderful
ability. 1 think his management of his
late canvass and his nomination prove
this. Shrewd, sagacious, with a splendid
knowledge of politics, straightforward iu*d
honest, he is just the man for the Demo
crats to put forth in Ohio at this time. I
don’t think Hoadly is a Presidential
man at all. He isn’t that kind. Judge
Hoadly is a lineal descendant of Jonathan
Edwards, the famous theologian and phil
osopher, They say’ in Ohio that he is an
infidel. If this G SQ, he certainly is not
true to his ancestry.’’*
(if those Democrats who are displeased
i over the nomination of Judge Hoadly in
: Ohio the Philadelphia 77mes(Ind. Dem.)
Isays: “Such men linger on the political
J Stage untimely, It was there mis
. fortune not to be cut oft entirely,
I but to be buried alive and
Ito retain simply enough of life to
I grumble at the living who must change
with the changing times. They are few
in number, as only an insignificant pro
portion of old men are so bound to the
past as to forget to live in the present.
They are noisy, as mourners are wont to
be; but their party shows itself wise in
passing by their lamentations and at
temptingto catch op .and keep up with
the present.”
Uoltoire, a Paris paper, has interviewed
Mr. Bartholdi. He is described a* “a
man of nervous temperament, but solide
and sec, with a beard, chatain clair,
sprinkled with white hairs.’- Baid the
reporter: “Americans seem to have for
gotten that we once contributed to their
freedom. Do you think the value of the
present will be sufficiently appreciated?”
“Oh, yes,” Monsieur replied; “I hope the
statue of Liberty will have ifs effect las
1 has. It is given to the Yankee*, as a
j souvenir of France, that the emigrants
! from a certain country, which it is need
j less to name, strive to efface.”
A Boston critic notes that “Many
i wojnen seem shocked at the swearing, or
what seems to be swearing, in Mrs. Car
| lyle’s writings, but which is really’ only
j the more emphatic and coarse strength of
I expression tolerated and used in England.
Wasn’t it James T. Fields who once illus
trated the difference between England
and New England by relating how Tenny
son one evening entertained Longfellow
, by telling such coarse stories that the
I latter eouW Jpt force a smile; but. on the
j contrary, showed such unmistakable dis
taste as compelled his entertainer to apol
ogize?”
So far as heard from, says the Philadel

Man’s ind Woman’s Mission.
This is the season when the young
collegian, and the “sweet girl graduate”
bid farewell to Alma Mater and enter
upon the broad stage of life. Os the latter
it may be said that happy is the woman if
she manage to be happily wedded ere the
wrinkles come upon the face erstwhile
lair, and ere the charms of youth have
faded. Much is said of woman’s
mission, hey higher educa
tion and her right to dis
pute with man in the broad arena of life
for the prizes that its various walks
afford, but after all housewife and mother
are the proudest titles that she can
acquire. Given a woman with the cul
ture and talents of a De Stael, a George
Sand or George Eliot, vet she would best
fulfill her destiny by comforting the path
way of an honorable workingman than by
shining in the salon, the cynosure of the
great and the learned.
But what of the young collegian who,
flushed with the honors and plaudits of
commencement day, sees the w’orld only
as a field for the display of his talents,
and its honors and distinctions as ripe
fruits within his grasp? A decade of ex
perience will have dispelled his dreams,
and mayhap, with afl his learning, he
will envy the rugged blacksmith or the
honest plowman, who, content with his
lot, goes blithely through life and envies
not the rich and the powerful.
To the college graduate the first lesson
presented when he battles with life, is to
unlearn half that he has learned, and
whatever calling he may select, to apply
himself to it with all his energies. The
worker is a producer, and the blacksmith
is as great in his sphere as the grandest
statesman in the land is in his.
Education may dignify labor, but it can
never belittle it by the contrast of its
possessor with him who relies on his
brawn and his common sense. The pro
fessions are crowded, and where there is
one triumph there are a hundred failures.
Work is the mission of man, and it mat
ters not upon what his work is directed
provided it is sustained and backed by
honesty and manliness.
“The President is credited with the bus
iness-like remark, politically speaking,
that in arranging the consolidation in the
South he had retained collectors who, be
ing thoroughly capable to perform their
official duties, would also aid liberal
movements against the rule of the Bour
bons.”— Washington Post. Wonder if Col
lector W. Johnson’s note is indorsed by
E. Speer? If so, we will engage to dis
count it, if called upon.
The dispute about the boundary line
I between Massachusetts and New Hamp
: shire, which has been in existence since
1740, is in no fairway of being settled,
j The error of boundary gives to Massachu
setts 50,000 acres that properly belongs
, to New Hampshire. The error was made
by the agents of New Hampshire appointed
I to act with like agents on part of Mas
i sachusetts to run the line.
Says Colonel McClure, of General Han-
I cock’s staff: “I notice a great deal of
I talk about the nomination by the Demo
crats of the old ticket, meaning the can
didates of 1876. if they want to
nominate any old ticket they had better
take the ticket of 1880. General Hancock
is stronger than ever, and Ido not doubt
that he would be elected.”

It is said that the way to fight the can

The long-talked-of removal of the forti

a half pounds. At the time indicated the
capital stock of these valuable fish had
been broken upon, and was being gradu

the seasons for net and rod, as arranged,
will not be altered except for good cause
shown.”
Edmund yates says in the London
IForZd; “Every one knows that many
so-called ‘Americanisms’ of speech are
not American at all, but survivals of
English words and phrases which have
gone out of use in the old country. I have
long been losing faith in the originality of
anything American, but I confess that I
did cling with the feverish fervor of a
dying belief to the Transatlantic origin
ot the phrase, a ‘bully boy'.’ I have been
coinpellpff to let ip go. Last week, in
turning oyer the leaves Qf M r > W- J. Lin
ton’s delightful volume, ‘Rare Poems of
the Sixteenth and Seventeeth Centuries,’
I came across a song entitled ‘Three Poor
Mariners,’ which was published in 1009,
and of which the following are the con
cluding lines:
‘To them we dance the round, the round, the
round;
And he tnat is a bully boy
Come pledge me on this ground, around,
around ’
It would seem as if there were nothing
geppinely American but the novels of
Messrs. Howells an/Tjamegl and America
is welcome to ijiem'.”
JFor years a Brooklyn horse has teen
daily going phroßgh a qiieer performance
on several of the car routes, lie is a
small gray horse—nearly white, in fact—
about ten years old, and is driven to a
butcher’s wagon. Many of the car routes
in Brooklyn run double tracks through
streets too’ narrow to admit the passage of
the’’ ohts when aft fildipary wagon is
drawn up at the sidewalk; 1 audit happens
that this butcher's delivery route is
through several of these narrow thorough
fares near the ferries. When standing in
a. broad street this horse pays no attention
to'the passink car ß ’ but when in the nar
row ones he hears car ap t< *uaching
he waits until it is within a few feet
ot him. then deliberately looks around,
bows nr nods his head twice, turns in a
wide eipcle, his dfter him,
and after alldwing the' car iiq pass rettirns
po the’place to asyqit his"masterfs coming.
He never fails to Jo this in the narrow
streets, ami never Joes it ip those broad
enough to admit of the passage of the oar.
That he moves on when he hears the car
approach is perhaps not so remarkable as
that he makes the circle of so great a
radius a;? not to upset the wagon he draws.
His driver pays no attention to bim when
he is thus employed.
Are the Louisiana Lottery Drawings
Fajr?
The two commissioneiß wifQ sqpeim
tend their single number drawings, when
interviewed on the subject, reluctantly
admitted that the numbers which were
placed in the tubes and put in the wheel
"were only counted twice a year. They
draw the lottery every month. Is not
this a bare-faced fraud* Their excuse is
that it would take ten days labor, with
four assistants. How, then, can any
ticket buyer in this lottery know that the
number on his ticket has a corresponding
number in the wheel? If they desire an
honest drawing why do they not, on the
ffaT of and 1 just beftme their draw
ings. allow -the ticket holder the
privilege of calling our 'IpA pum
ber and see jha; if i« placed iq
the wheel, so he then can have some
chance of its being d rawn out with a
prize from the other wheel ? Other lot
teries have done so. Under their system,
why don’t they make their capital $1,000.-
QpO? Thev might as well. Is not the
published list in «ipners in their lottery
also a‘fraud? It is. very easy for u few

THE GREAT I/AND SALE.
The Largest Transaction of the Kind Yet
Recorded.
Mobile Register.
Yesterday morning a little two-square
advertisement appeared in the Register,
announcing that Messrs. A. C. Danner &
Co., of Mobile, having purchased all the
i pine lands belonging to the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Company in the States of
> Alabama and Mississippi, the firm warns
all persons not to depredate in any of
, those lands.
Believing that here lay an item of some
1 importance, a reporter ot this journal
took occasion to interview Mr. Danner
> upon the subject. The result was as fol-
■ lows:
, “A. C. Danner & Co. have purchased,”
said Mr. Danner, “all the pine lands of
; the Mobile and Ohio Road. These lands
I lie in the counties of AV’ashington, Mobile,
! Choctaw, Clarke and Baldwin, in the
■ State of Alabama, and in the counties of
I Wayne, Greene and Jackson, in the State
1 of Mississippi. These lands comprise
; about 750,000 acres, extending about
fifteen miles on either side of the Mobile
■ and Ohio Road. Some of the land is tribu
tary to the Pascagoula mills and some to
. the ’Bigbee river. It is all tributary to
the road wliiph rims through it,”
“What son of lands are they j”
1 “Mostly good timbered land. Along the
, road a good deal has been boxed for tur-
> pentine, and a small portion ot the land
, has been cut over. The depredations have
’ been considerable, but lying back from
’ the road is a quantity of the finest timber
’ in the country. All the land is rated
( above $1 25 an acre, and some of it is good
• farming land which has been hel[l by the
' road at $5 an acre,
’ “What is the object in buying this vast
I quantity of land ?”
, “My main object was to secure plenty
[ of timber for my mills. People are around
picking up land’s here and there, and there
’ was danger that some day I might find
’ myself like the negro with the pocketbook
! arid no money to put in it. I wanted
enough timber to last me my lifetime, and
now I havfe got it.”
, “What was the railroad’s object?”
“The railroad wanted to get rid of the
land and the depredators at the same
1 time, and it sold to my firm. AVe think
we cap stop the ijepredqtiqns and make
■ those who have depredated pay for what
C they have taken. If we can’t get the
, money we can bring a criminal suit
! against them and against those who have
[• received the stolen property.”
“And how do you propose to utilize this
territory?”
“We propose to form a land and lumber
company to be known as the Danner Land
and Lumber Compapy, and p’ill use tip as
' much of the lumber as we can and sell as
■ much as we can advantageously dispose
of. We will bpild several mills along the
. line of the railroad, with tramways run
ning into the heart of the best timber
! country. We think we can utilize a great
deal of the territory.” Here Mr. Danner
unrolled a map showing the land divided
off into sections and colored to show to
what extent the purchase has been en
, croached upon. This map shows that
about one-lialf the 750,000 acres Is virgin
forest. A quarter has beep ipore of less
turpentined and another qparter has been
more or legs put. “This is a pretty big
enterprise,” gaid tl;e Reporter.
1 “I believe,” answered Mr. Danner,
. “that it is tpe largest sale of pine lands
ever mffile to ope flrm, You have, per.
1 haps, an idea ot the siae of 750,000 acres.
Well, it is a trifle less than the area of
1 the State of Delaware and something more
i than the area of Rhode Island. The lum
-1 ber business is becoming better systema
’ tized and the time is passing when a man
> with a thousand dollars and any sort of a
i saw mill c(fi» succeed, Tue mill wen will
i have to own the timber, and we are but
• taking a step now’ which in a few years
would become a necessity. We shall, of
course, put our other land into the com
pany. and mav consider ourselves amply
provided with material.”
“How much land will the company
own?” 11,1 ' ■
“About eighteen hundre(.| thousand
aerek.”
Great harm has been dqpe fly the popu
lar’ recourse to so-called “disinfectants,”
which, in fact, only disguise or destroy
the disgusting odor. Nothing is gained
by making the odor of sewer gas less offen

I the “smell” that does harm, though it
, may nauseate. This is a small matter.
Poisoning by sewer gas which has been
disguised or deprived of itg characteristic

unrecognized maladies. The evil influ

Hr-irtablr Compound.
A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN.
[From the Boston Globe.]
Messi e, Editors .
The above is a good likeness of Mrs. Lydia E. Pink
ham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings
may be truthfully called the ‘ Dear Friend of Woman,”
as some of her correspondents love to call her. Si*
is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome
of a life-study, and is obliged Co keep six lady
assistants, tcAielp her answer the large correspondence
which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special
burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her
Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not
evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On account of its proven merits, it is recommended
and prescribed by the best physicians in the country.
One says: "It works like a charm and saves much
pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling
of the uterus, Leucorrhcea, irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con
sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to
the Change of Life.”
It permeates every portion of the system, and gives
new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency,
destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak
ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating. Headaches,
Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness,
Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always
permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and
under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law
that governs the female system.
It costs only sl. per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by
druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and
the names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be
obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply,
at her home in Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is
unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show.
“ Mrs. Pinkham’s Liver Pills,” says one writer, “ are
the best in the world for the cure of Constipation,
Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Iler Blood
Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair
to equal the Compound in its popularity.
All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sole
ambition is to do good to others.
