Written Especially for THE TRADESMAN. When he first came to the little town of Portland and opened up a little shop on the main street of the village, the natives of the place were inclined to laugh at him. There was something so ridiculous in the idea of a little, dried-up sort of fellow like Simon Reeves having the temerity to pre- sume that he could get any custom ina place where, for the last fifty years or more, the only stores had been owned successive- ly by the old inhabitants. At first they were inclined to resent it. But that didn’t make any difference to Si- mon. He wenton unpacking his stock, putting the red sticks of candy in the win- dow where their sweetness would attract most attention from the little tow-heads who had a penny to spend, and spreading his calicoes and ginghams out on _ the shelves, so that when the lassies from the surrounding country should come in to sell their eggs ann butter, they might see that his wares would be an even exchange, and perhaps more than that. Simon was a peculiar man, both in ap- pearance and character. He was very short in stature, not over five feet four, and his little dried-up face was crowned with a shoek of hair, so red that it seemed almost necessary to use a smoked glass to look at it, so brilliant was it. But notwithstand- ing his apparent homeliness, he had one ree deeming feature. His eyes were of a deep brown, and there was such a pleasant twink- kle in them that you forgot, almost, that he was so homely. Simon was a man with shrewdness and kindliness so combined in his nature that, after one or two of the little ragged urchins had been in and got more candy than was good for them, although their stock of ready cash consisted, perhaps, of only a penny tightly clasped in the little brown fingers, his fame got spread about in the little hamlet, and finally some of the old folks dropped in, ‘‘just to say Howdy,” not to buy anything, as they told their neigh- bors. But, however it was, Simon’s stock began to get lower and lower, until finally he had to send out by the stage for more goods, and, strangest of all, he seemed to have quite a little cash laid up, for he paid for them allin gold, and that was a very searce article in that sparsely settled com- munity. After this Simon seemed to rise in popu- lar favor, and the two or three benches in front of his store, under the old cottonwood, were always filled with the loungers of the village, sometimes, perhaps, to the detri- ment of his rivals in trade. Even old Major Topbottle, who, for the last ten years had satin front of the one hostelry the town boasted, giving his opin- ions gratis of the war of 1812, to a crowd of loafers, and drawing maps in the sand with his cane, illustrating his personal glories and their location, could now occasionally be seen in front of Simon’s store; for he did not like to air his exploits without an audi- ence, and the audience had moved, there- fore, needs be, he must. At first, the young bloods of the town, who were always ready for any deviltry, would make it a practice, when nothing better offered, to play some very practical jokes on Simon; but he took them all so good-naturedly that they lost their zest, and they dropped them. Another thing occurred about this time that heiped Simon more in popular favor than anything else. The Southerners are chivalrous, toa man; and when one day Bill Jeffts, the biggest bully in the county, got roaring drunk and attempted by force to kiss the pretty school teacher, Annie Laughlin, Simon, without stopping to think how big Bill was, rushed out and fetched the drunken wretch sucha blow as made the blood come and laid him out in the sand. Bill didn’t get up for a minute, and when he did he was sober; he went up to pretty Annie and humbly begged her par- don. After this episode all was plain sailing for Simon, and it seemed as though people bought more than they needed. He had so much trade finally that he was forced to hire one of the village boys to help him, but then he had a good deal of spare time, and he would sit out in front and talk poli- tics with the old men and the last races at the county fair with the young sports, until he was almost the village oracle. There was one thing about Simon that people couldn’t understand, and that was his reluctance to talk of his birth-place. But they said that made no difference—he was one of them now and the ‘“‘likeliest, cutenest feller in them thar parts.” The great luxury of Simon’s life was to go up to the Major’s of a pleasant evening, and sit and chat with the old man. Some- times Annie Laughlin would come and sit with them. She boarded at the Major’s, and, although a Northern girl, she was none the less liked. Her pleasant ways with the children, her kindness and charity to the sick and her pretty face won her friends everywhere. Now Major Topbottle, although an old man, was not in his dotage and could see «through a millstone without his spectacles, and after a while he got in a habit of retir- ing early, leaving Simon and Annie togeth- er. I don’t know exactly what got into his head, but he hada way of winking slyly and chuckling softly to himself after he got out of earshot that was simply irresistible. And matters went on this way until finally people began to nudge each other and say that Simon better look out for young Squire Mangold. They all knew the young Squire had always had a great liking for Annie, and his horse had been seen many a time lazily browsing the brush behind the log school house where Annie taught, although of course noone knew where his master was. Squire Mangold and Simon had always been the best of friends, although the Squire was always the leader in the tricks played on him. They each knew that the other thought his eyes of the pretty school ma’am, but they had kept a strict guard on their actions and speech when together, as though loath to break the great bond of friendship between them. Simon had saved the Squire’s life once—very easily, it is true, but he was none the less grateful to Simon for it, and was ready to make any sacrifice for him. ‘Matters went on in this way for abouta year, and then came that awful storm-cloud of impending war, which hovered upon the horizon, and was none the less terrible for its uncertainty. Rumors came to the little village of Portland that the people of the South needed but a leader, and then would come the great struggle. it was an anxious time for all. Nothing else was talked of, and when the news came that the Southern States had formed a government of their own and cut loose from tyranny, as they termed it, the enthusiasm rose to fever pitch. Then came the news that war had begun in earnest, and a call went out for troops. Squire Mangold was foremost amongst those who raised recruits, and had all the young men and a good share of the older ones enrolled in a company, of which, as a matter of course, he was captain. ‘They were encamped in an open field west of the village, and every night mass meetings were held, the older men acting as spokes- men. Old Major Topbottle was now in the height of his glory. Day after day, as tid- ings came from the field of battle, he could be seen sitting under the cottonwood, draw- ing maps of the field of battle, and showing the crowd of gaping admirers how he would crush the Northern army before they had time to load their guns. Our friend Simon’s business was at a to- tal stand-still—so much so, in fact, that his doors were hardly ever darkened by the form of a customer. He never mixed with the villagers and the fact began to be no- ticed by them that he was not as enthusias- tic as he ought to be, and they soon began to make it a subject of conversation. Finally, one evening, things came to such a pass that a crowd of young recruits, made bold by good corn whisky, decided to call on Simon and force him to declare either for or against, and it was hinted among the few that if he was against the South, a rail and some tar and feathers would be handy. Going up to Simon’s door there was no light tobe seen, for the shutters were closed and the door locked. However, a little thing like a locked door could not stop them, and a fence rail was brought and very soon they had free ingress. Going through to the little back room where Si- mon slept, they found him sitting on the side of his hed reading, by the light of a, tallow dip, his bible. ‘This seemed to daunt them somewhat, but finally the leader mus- tered up courage and told Simon that the time had come when he must either side with them or take the consequences. Simon rose slowly to his feet, and look- ing around on the faces of those who had once been his friends, said: ‘Gentlemen, I have lived quietly among you for a long time and have always tried to conduct myself as a man and a Christian, and as such I now tell you that I am, heart and soul, in sympathy with my Northern home. I havea gray-haired old mother up in Vermont, who bade me, when a little child, to always uphold the right; and asa guide for my conduct she gave me this bi- ble, and in giving you my answer I but fol- low its precepts.” At this, the mob seized poor Simon and, binding him hand and foot, were about to treat him to the overcoat mentioned, when Squire Mangold, who had just discovered what they were about, rushed in the back door, and, covering the crowd with his re- volver, told them, in no pleasant way, to go back to their quarters, which they sullenly did, muttering that ‘‘the Cap’n better look out for his own skin.” The Captain unloosed Simon’s bonds and told him his best course was to leave on the next stage, going with him up tothe Major’s where he knew he would be safe for the night. As they entered the parlor, there was the Major trying to comfort Annie, who had made up her mind to go back to her home at once. She was much attached to her Southern friends, and, perhaps, the thought of leaving Simon there had .some- thing to do with her sorrow, for when she heard of the outrage that had been attempt- ed she burst into tears and rushed out of the room. Now the Captain had only been waiting for an opportunity to pour out his love for her, and had made up his mind, like a gen- erous man, that if she refused him it could be for no other reason than the fact that she loved Simon, and he would leave the field tohim. So, going into the hall, he found Annie leaning against the staircase, sobbing as if her heart would break. ‘‘Annie,” he said, ‘“‘though I am against your country in this struggle, you must have seen how I love you. Can yeu try and love mein return? Will you marry me?” She turned, and as she raised her tear- stained face to his, he saw his fate only too plainly. “Captain Mangold,” she sobbed, ‘‘I would rather you had not asked me this; for even though I loved you, Icould not marry a man in the ranks against those of my kin and my country. But, though I cannot love you, I shall always respect and esteem you for your kindness and what you have done for Mr. Reeves to-night.” Gaptain Mangold saw, without further words, that it was hopeless for him, and he uttered a hoarse ‘‘Good-by,” and walked sadly away to his camp. The next morning Simon and Annie got safely away, although there were some an- gry looks and words sent after them. Noth- ing more was heard of either for along time. People were too busy looking after the poor, wounded fellows that came day after day, bringing their sorrowful stories of war, to think of the absent ones. Then came news of disaster after disaster, loss af- ter loss, and the hearts of the people of the South were very sorrowful. Finally came the news that Lee had surrendered, and then all hope departed. Among a stage-load of veterans that came ene day was Captain Mangold. He was minus one arm, but his smile was as bright and his greeting as warm for his old friends and comrades as though nothing had hap- pened, although the loss of the Southern cause bore heavily on him. What a hero he was! And when sitting around the old tavern door, he told them how, at the battle of Nashville, he was wounded and left alone on the field of bat- tle, with no kind hand to cool his parched lips, and that a brave man came from the Union camp with his head bandaged up and so feeble he could hardly walk, carrying a canteen of water on the chance of finding some poor fellow worse off than himself— how he stooped over him and wet his lips with water—it affected them so that even the old Major was heard to cough suspic- iously. But that was not all. When he told them that brave Union soldier was their old friend, Simon Reeves, and that Simon had carried him, at the risk of his own life, into the Union camp, and with his wife, Annie, who had come to be with him and nurse the wounded, had brought him back to life and strength with their care, such a cheer went up as was never heard before in that quiet town. Old Major Topbottle said he ‘‘knowed Si- mon was a damned Yankee, but he hada heart in him big as a meetin’ house.” In a few years after, when the railroad had pushed its noisy way through the now lively town of Portland, a gentleman with his wife and a bright-haired little girl got oif the train and walked up the main street. They stopped under the shade of an old cottonwood, and as they gazed at the little store opposite, an elderly man came across the street, and after looking at them close- ly for a moment, rushed up and shook hands ‘with them as if he would shake their arms off. It was noticeable that he used his left hand, which is hardly polite; but if you looked closely, you might have seen that the right sleeve was empty. And so, after many years, the North and South were once more united. RELLUF. > -- Salicylic Acid in Meat and Beer. From the Medical Record. There is a growing belief among sanitar- ians that salicylie acid is .being used more and more extensively in the preservation of canned foods, milk, wine, beer, and . other articles. To such an extent was this done in Paris that the French Government has already twice taken action upon the matter. Dr. E. H. Bartley, chemist to the Brooklyn Health Department, has recently called at- tention to this matter. He states that in 1885 the chief adulterations which he found in beer were yeast and bicarbonate of soda. Lately he has examined several different kinds of bottled beer sold in Brooklyn, the list including some of the Western beers. He has found salicylic acid in-them. The amount of this acid required to preserve beer is about twelve to fifteen grains per gallon. Salicylic acid, if taken continuous- ly, tends to injure digestion and irritate the kidneys. a Business Talent. Minks—Beats all what infernal fools these women are about business. I gave my wife $5 this morning to go shopping, and all she had to show for it at noon was a couple of pairs of stockings. Jinks—Yes, that’s the way it goes. Ive been there. By the way, these are mighty good cigars, Minks.” ‘They ought to be; cost me $12 a hun- dred.” The 7 High Life. Written Especially for Tuk TRADESMAN. Observer is an ancient citizen of a small village located within fifty miles of the world-famous city of Grand Rapids. He is a constant reader of Tur TraApEsMAN, and has been highly pleased with the efforts of ‘Country Merchant” and others to do the dead-beat, but has lamented the fact that a very important branch of that numerous family has apparently been forgotten, at least neglected. I refer to the Merchant and Professional Man dead-beat. I put him in capitals because he is pre-eminently en- titled to the place of honor for being the most villainous and inexcusable wretch of them all. He holds the same rank among his fellows that the murderous burg- lar holds in comparison to the petty thief who steals a loaf of bread for his famishing wife and children. By show, position, and by hypocrisy he robs society of that general esteem and confidence to whieh it is en- titled. By his trickery, which ever keeps distrust and suspicion on the anxious seat, he dispoils the man of honor and integrity of that credit which is his capital. Like the voracious and treacherous hyena, he is constantly on the alert for any confiding victim who may come within his grasp. Every village and city is his abode. He lives in style and plays the counterfeit of an honest man. His imitation of respecta- bility is the cover under which he creeps into the esteem and confidence of the gen- eral public, that he may the more success- fully plunder. He is the individual who comes to our village with a flourish of trumpets, and is loud-mouthed in proclaim- ing his virtuous qualities. He attends the most popular church with the greatest reg- ularity for a time and pays his obligations promptly; then, having by his hypocrisy wormed himself isto society and into the confidence,jand trust of his creditors and secured credit of everybody and every- where, he swells up like a bladder and col- lapses. Then his horns become visible. His creditors settle for twenty cents on the dollar, or he skips the country. In either ease the gain is wholly on his side. The gullibility of human nature is such that this game is sometimes practiced the second time by the same parties in the same com- munity. The writer lives in a village of one thous- and inhabitants only, in which there is a successful merchant who has failed three times—has done a large business, owned a great deal of property, has almost con- Stantly held office for a score of years, yet who has never paid an honest debt tir full, and who has thousands of dollars in judgments hanging over him now; another, who has failed twice and, like the former, hidden behind his wife’s name; another, who had the exelusive trade in his line and an extensive business which he abused with extortionate prices and failed, after disposing of his stock as much as possible, and settled at 20 cents on the dollar. Our high-toned landlord left his former home and creditors between two days and neither have seen him sinee. One of our attorneys has a record in the penitentiary, and the other fled to this vil- lage to escape the indignant and outraged populace of a county which he represented as prosecuting attorney. We have a high- toned druggist, whose family consists of himself and wife and whose expenses ean- not be less than $2,000 per year; yet he has never dealt with a firm nor an individual without making it a principle to beat them in the end. Even our banker, upon being sued on an old note, assigned to his wife. And so I might continue, but these are only samples of the dead-beat in high life. We haye others, who are equally as much on the dead-beat order, whom we have repeat- edly honored with office, but they are high- toned, and through the tendency of people to worship brass gods, they escape the op- probrium which they so richly merit; while the poor half-wit, whose best endeavors can scarcely clothe him with life’s necessities, finds universal condemnation for beating his washer-woman. I have no sympathy for the{dead-beat in any position or capacity, yet there is some- thing in the human breast which demands fair play. It is not justice to pat the yellow cur on the back while the brindle pup is down—better put water on each at the same time and make it hot enough to annihilate both. M. J.

A little son of Dave Haugh was bitten through the arm by a dog at Maple Grove about ten days ago. The wound was cau- terized and no serious consequences are ap- prehended. John Preston, general traveling repre- sentative for the Moseley & Stoddard Man- ufacturing Co., Pultney, Vt., has returned from an extended trip through New York and Pennsylvania. Cornelius Copaiba Crawford is on the lookout for another horse, suitable for driv- ing in the city. Any merchant on Craw- ford’s rounds having such an animal for sale would do well to communicate with him. George Hallem, traveling salesman for Barnes Bros., of Detroit, says he has been engaged in selling goods continuously for the past twenty-two years, most of the time traveling with a team, and at present owns a horse which he has driven for fourteen years. He figures that he has driven this horse an average of twenty miles a day dur- ing week days all that time, or a distance of over 90,000 miles, and says the horse is good for several years’ seryice yet. Unless there are heavy rains between now and August 15, it will be impossible for the traveling men to take their contemplated steamboat trip down the river, as_ there is not water enough in the stream now for the Barrett to run with even a moderate load. Two hundred traveling men and their wives would pin the boat to the bottom of the riv- er and hold it there as tight as the traveling men hold their customers. In this emer- gency, Landlord Barney, of the Occidental Hotel, extends a cordial invitation to the boys to take a trip to Muskegon and partake of a complimentary dinner at his hostelry. Unless copious showers come in the mean- time, itis not unlikely that Mr. invitation will be accepted. J. L. Strelitsky was born in London, Eng., Nov. 1847, and emigrated with his parents to New York city about a year later. He attended the common schools of the me- tropolis, entering the employ of a cigar manufacturer. as stripper at the age of 9 years. Three years later he had mastered the business and was making cigars. At the age of 13 he was employed by a manu- facturer of wiggins and waddings to sell his products to the retail trade, and later on he gained a livelihood by selling fashion plates and books to milliners and dressmakers. He then went to Norfolk, Va., where he worked at his trade of cigar making fora time, subsequently engaging in the sale of jewelry on his own account among the plantations of the Old Dominion. He next made cigars in Gotham for two or three years, when he opened a factory in Chicago, which he conducted about three years. Re- ceiving a lucrative offer from Henry Welsh, of New York, he returned to that city, and for three years thereafter sold groceries on the road in New York and Pennsylvania. On the death of Mr. Welsh, he returned to Chicago and re-embarked in the manufac- ture of cigars on his own account. Receiv- ing a good offer from the Roper & Baxter Cigar Co. about three years ago, he identi- fied himself with that house, taking the trade of Michigan in preference to that of any other territory. Realizing the necessity for closer communication with his trade, he removed his family from Chicago to, this city about a year ago. Mr. Strelitsky was married on Christmas day of the Centennial year and is the happy father of three bright children. He has a large line of customers, the confidence of his house and a good sal- ary—what else can any man ask for? cehialnaenel agg eco Ov Any Purely Personal. John G.

Mr. Ford was “‘brought up ina spice mill” and is familiar with every detail of the business. Backed with sufficient capital and the co-operation of the jobbing trade, there is no reason why such an ¢&- tablishment should not succeed here.

Written Especially for Toe TRADESMAN, : In reading Frank Howig’s late communi- cation to THE TRADESMA®, I notice that the writer—as we all do, at times, when the ‘‘blue devils” wrestle us down—becomes somewhat panic-stricken and begins to fear that crime will yet gain complete ascend- ancy over our people, and the dead-beat, in his various phases, rule the world. This is very natural, when we look upon one spec- ial part of the phenomenon, as crime takes a sudden start here and there and the tele- graph condenses the crimes of a con- tinent committed the day before into a sin- gle half column of our morning paper. Could we see all the weekly conflagrations as they occur in a single week’s time, in the United States, all blazing at once before our eyes, we should certainly be panic-strick en and declare that the whole country was go- ing to burn up. And if all the funerals that occur passed before our eyes, we would declare that a pestilence was raging and our species being destroyed by disease. But it it is seen that the building process goes on and repairs the damage of conflagration, and continually re-enforees the capital of the country, and, upon the whole, although particular sections are temporarily ruined, there is solid growth and prosperity. And health restores more than disease destroys; the powers of life are stronger and rule the world to-day as ever. Crime also breaks loose and seems to run epidemie for a season, but the morally healthy portions of the body social—are always roused by the presence of transgres- sion, and the more the raseality, the strong- er becomes the power that throttles it. There is something in the nature of crime that forbids its final triumph over hon- esty. If it does gain a temporary ascendan- cy, the villains always quarrel over a divi- sion of the spoils which they have robbed from honest men; and if there were no other law but what is within the rascal’s heart, that, of itself, would destroy the criminal (in any form down to “respectable hypoe- risy”), and make dishonesty its own de- stroyer. The dishonest elements can, it is true, join together to hunt their prey, as do their more humane fellows of the forest, the hungry pack follow a deer, head him off, run him down and destroy him; but they al- ways fight over the careass, and are forced to divide and fly apart, or destroy each cth- er, by the very principle which united them to prey upon society. The dishonest man, in every phase of transgression, deep down in his heart des- pises and hates every other dishouest man in the world. The criminal cannot help himself—a something is in him that compels him to make war, first or last, upon his own kind; and, though there were no healthy fiesh in the body of a nation,crime would, if left alone, destroy itself. if they do these things in the green tree and wrong the honest portion of the com- munity, what will they not @o in the dry tree with their own kind, when they fall out, as eventually they must. Hence it is that the honest portion of society often find a strong reinforcement among rascals, who by nature hate all other rascals, when vil- lainy fails to fill their own pockets; and good and bad, moved by the great law that sustains the universe, must ever be found united against the Destroyer and at last purge society of ruling criminal elements. There is something in the nature of crime (every phase of animalism in society, from the profession criminal down to lowest depths of “respectable” Phariseeism too cowardly to steal or murder) that prevents its becoming general, for wherever a gang of criminals, from boodlers up to Bonapartes, succeed, they soon disagree among them- selves, and split into factions, and some of them are always made into tools with which the cause of wrong-doing is brought to grief and the evil doers are gathered in by the power of the law of eternal justice rep- resented in the hearts of the morally-devel- oped portion of civilized society. True enough, often the so-called evil ele- ments generate terrible cyclones of wrath, so that it appears to the ordinary observer that all things, even the very foundation of society will be destroyed and that man will return to barbarism and lose all resemblance to humanity; but as these tempests exhaust their force, the great law is seen still too prevail, good is preserved, and, after all, real progress has been made, There have always been times, as now, when crime seemed to be on the increase and seemed likely to make a conquest of the world, but the Law Almighty—a God or His exact equivalent in righting wrongs—at last says, “Thus far and no farther.”?’ The same amount of truth and virtue exists in pro- portion to the evil elements abounding in society to-day that has existed throughout all the past, and when “‘evil” has grown to certain proportions a break comes, and even the devils get so sick of devilment that they join in and wage relentless war against the Kingdom of Darkness. Honesty and virtue, after all, alone can exist permanent- ly on this earth, else why is it that the hon- est portion of society are the only elements that can really trust one another to the last? The instant that a man or combination of men starts in to swindle society, he declares war against God Almighty, and is certain to rouse up a power in society that is abso- lutely resistless, and which will as certainly overwhelm all who attempt to resist as the world stands. As theold prophet declared, ‘*Though they climb as high as the stars, I will fetch them down into the depths,” and, ‘Tniguity shall not prevail.” This law ex- ists to-day in human hearts, as it did in the past and will continue todo forever. So we néed not get intoa panic and fear that crime will ever triumph and unrighteous- ness be the ruling principle of society, although, at times,the evil elements seem to have it all their own way. Again and again it will occur to the critical observer that there is a destructive principle in all selfish- ness and crime that defeats itself, and the more it seems to triumph, even in its great- est victories over virtue, the more tremen- dous are the upheaval and downfall pre- pared for it; and the minions of the powers of evil ever turn against their own and be- tray them and work with the good in tear- ing down and annihilating all injustice. Another remark of Mr. Howig seems to need, not correcting exactly, for he has a form of truth, but sifting a little, although he probably saw this which I attempt to make clear. He says, ‘In war, familiarity with suffering and death hardens sympathy and kindness to a fearful extent.” Now, ‘the fact is, no man or woman who possess- ed sympathy and kindness before witness- ing war horrors was ever really hardened and made heartless in the presence of great and terrible human suffering. I admit that they often seem to be hardened, but only inherent villains or moral imbeciles are real- ly hardened by the presence of human woe. A surgeon who is naturally kind-hearted (or any other assistant in caring for the wound- ed or burying the dead on battle fields) is at first stunned and appalled by the concen- tration of human agony before him. The possessor of strony sympathies, then, is, by the very force of his feelings, nearly or quite palsied with an excess of emotion. It strikes him down, and for a time he is en- tirely overcome, right where a soulless man feels nothing, unless possibly, animal fear. But the humane man soon rallies; he learns that he will be useless in attempting to relieve human distress, if he allows ‘‘na- ture” to turn on too much steam through the emotions. Hence, he strives to ‘*keep cool,” and as he at last becomes familiar vith the spectacle of hosts of torn and man- gled men, his feelings, although not so in- tense as upon the first occurrence of great suffering before his eye, are amply sufficient to,impel him to act, and he never can become ‘“‘hardened” or demoralized in the least, un- less he was a moral corpse before. I have seen surgeons as kind at heart as any mother to her children; yet, by getting ‘‘used to it” and learning that excess of emotion had as bad a tendency as excess of fear in rescu- ing thehelpless, they worked at amputating limbs and cutting up human flesh, all alive and quivering with agony, as coolly and in- differently as they would cut up pork or beef ina butcher’s shop, but their hearts were allin the right place. No possible amount of human woe could paralyze their souls, although the pressure lain upon them by a world of agony around them compelled them to husband their forces and emotions and concentrate all their energies for busi- ness-like coolness and quick dispatch. Many of your readers will be able to recall scenes here hinted at with positive proof that no possible human event can ever occur that will dehumanize a man who possesses inherent sympathy for his species (the base of manhood and soul) and change him into a heartless creature; and, further, that no possible schooling or gift of man or method for taming the wildness out of man, can hu- manize and reform into genuine manhood the inherently heartless, or prevent him from selling his friend and betraying the trust reposed in him, when he sees a chance to make a profit out of human simplicity or calamity. This brings us around to the dead-beat question again—in fact every question relating to the building up of the kingdom of man or earth must ever center here. In every disturbance that can occur in so- ciety tending to pull it down or disorganize it—from the tramp who ‘‘profits” by his neighbor's carelessness in leaving out a line full of clothes over night, down to the fine- haired swindler, boodler and fraud who ex- emplify the lowest possible level of human depravity—it is evil in the form of the dead- beat at work. And, as we see the different cities infested with these human vermin, when that certain limit is reached, rise up in their integrity and throttle the evil ele- ments, and outwit, circumvent and strangle them to death, re-establishing justice, puri- ity of government and truth, so will society at large ever rally against the devil,and by the inherent, resistless force that lies bedded deep in the human heart, ever redeem itself from the thralldom of vice and go forward, as in the past, gaining and growing from more and more; and manhood on earth will make a success of its mission, and the powers of hell cannot prevail against it. And at that particular period when rascality seems most firmly seated on its throne and virtue ap- pears just ready to give up the ghost, and the hearts of many begin to fail them and the proud boaster, rising-up defiantly, asks, ‘Where is your God of Justice now?” when hope seems insane folly, and all but the few who are ever deemed cranks and fanatics give up in despair, believing that God or Law Almighty is a myth and fable—at last, all unexpected and unlooked for, “something happens”’—a little straw is Snapped by the wind or some | other appar- ently trivial incident occurs, and then the break comes, and the longer the current of Justice has been delayed, the higher injus- tice has reared itself and the more complete its seeming victory over truth and justice, the more overwhelming and destructive the earthquake that ensues. The rascal is ground to powder and cast out to the winds, and§:a God of Order and Harmony and Peace and Love asserts His authority over the counsels of men. ‘This is the actual his- tory of mankind. If,then, vice and all forms of hypocrisy and deceit are so hateful in the eyes of the great Originator that he has made devils—even the blackest villians in whitest guise—hate the deceiver and criminal with such an un- | relenting hatred that they will often fight to the death in resisting wrong when it bears upon them individually, shall we get discouraged and say that there is danger of the criminal element gaining permanent foothold and ruling society. The world to- day contains the same amount of spiritual backbone that it always has, and every ad- vance in its material interests in the field of invention and every department of human thought and action, makes the triumph of good principles easier and more certain, and the detection of crime more inevitable. There is certainly either a God of Justiceor ‘a natural law of justice” at the core of all creative agencies in this world: If the evil elements seem to gain a temporary ascend- ance, it is certain to find its master right on the spot when needed, and even the king- dom of Satan rejoices in the downfall of liars and the triumph of truth. Let us not get discouraged when all things are leagued together in behalf of justice. C. H. BARLOW. 9 - .§ & Denison, 88, 90 and 92 South Division Street, GRAND RAPIDS, - MICH.

Business and collections are both all that could be desired. Sugar still hovers on the verge of uncertainty. ‘Coffee is tending firmer and further advances are expected. Cheese continues to advance, the factories having adyaneed July make to 9 cents, which compels jobbers to raise quotations to 10c. Some are holding choice full cream stock at 1014@11 cents and, judging by the ruling prices at other markets, it is not un- likely that the price will reach 12 cents be- fore two weeks have elapsed. Salmon con- tinues firm and very scarce. Plug tobaccos are sustaining sharp advances. Canned ap- ples are out of sight, although there is little call for the goods. Canned peaches are higher. Both oranges and lemons are a shade . lower. Candy is firm and some kinds are a shade higher. Nuts, figs and dates are steady. Peanuts are higher. >> The Cost of Charters and How to Obtain Them. As the following inquiries cover substan- tially the same ground and may be answer- ed at one time, they are given together: LAWRENCE, July 26, 1887. E, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids; Dear Smr—What is the cost of a local charter, if any? As I understand it, all As- sociations belonging to the State Associa- tion were incorporated the same as the State. Is it notso? Please let us know. Yours, C. A. STEBBINS, Sec’y. Hartrrorp, July 26, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: Deak Sm--We shall probably apply for a charter soon. Before doing so, we would like to ascertain about what the cost will be to our Association. This Association isa grand thing. ‘There is less eall for credit and those who do ask for it are more prompt in paying. Yours truly, J. B. BarnzEs, Sec’y. The price for local charters will be fixed at the September convention of the M. B. M. A. The probability is that it will be made $3, that sum being generally consider- ed a fair figure. On procuring a charter from the State body and filing articles of association with the county clerk in the county where the association is located, the auxiliary is then duly incorporated, the same as the parent organization. —_—-—_-_ > Manistee to Join the State Body.

This suggests the idea that there isa feasible method by which the riant clutches of monopoly can be loosened —by satisfying the people that better goods and lower prices are the result of patroniz- ing men who handle products free from the taint of tyranny.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. INSOLVENT FIRM—JOINT EXECUTION, While property of an insolvent firm will not pass as against firm creditors under suc- cessive sales upon execution issued against the individual partners, it will pass under a sale upon a joint execution against all the partners issued upon a judgment recovered upon a joint debt. Saunders vs. Reilly, de- cided by the New York Court of Appeals. POLICE POWER OF STATE. In the case of Meyer vs. Baker, the Su- preme Court of Illinois held that a statute imposing a fine upon any person who, dur- ing the holding of acamp meeting, sells merchandise or liquor within a mile of such meeting without the consent of the holders thereof—persons having their regular place of business within such limits not being re- quired to suspend their business—was not void as in restraint of trade or as creating a monopoly in favor of the persons referred to in the proviso, but was valid as a legiti- mate exercise of the police power of the state. LIABILITY FOR PROCEEDS OF GOODS SOLD. A person bought live stock with money furnished by another under an agreement that they were to belong to the latter. The former shipped the goods in his own name, so as to get better shipping rates, to a com- mission merchant in Chicago for sale, and directed the merchant to place the proceeds in a certain bank for the person furnishing the purchase money. The Chicago mer- chant, however, applied the proceeds upon notes held by him against the party ship- ping the goods, claiming a factor’s lien. The Supreme Court of Illinois held that the Chicago merchant was liable to the party furnishing the purchase money for the amount of the proceeds of the stock. SELLING ADULTERATED MILK. A case of some importance has just been decided by the New York Court of Appeals, viz., that of the People vs. Kibler. The de- fendant was indicted for selling milk adul- terated with water. The prosecution proved that the milk sold did not reach the standard of purity required by the statute. For the defense it was shown that the de- fendant had bought the milk from a whole- sale dealer and supposed it was pure, that he had acted in good faith, and, therefore, that he should not be convicted. The Court of Appeals, however, affirming the decision of the State Supreme Court, held that the plea of absence of knowledge or in- tent is no defense to the charge of violating the statute, and that a person who sells milk or butter is bound under the statute to know what he is selling. —_—_—_< >< An Altered Check. The maker of a check for $8.40 was sued upon it as for a check for $80.40, because he denied having made sucha check. It appeared on the trial that in drawing the check a space was left between the figures “Ss and 4” so that a cipher could be in- serted without any show of crowding the figures, and that the letter ‘‘y” could be added for the same reason to the word “eight,” and the plaintiff contended that he should not suffer the loss because the negligent manner of filling in the check gave the forger his opportunity, and there- fore, the drawer should pay him the appar- ent sum upon the check, which he had paid upon the faith of the check. In this claim he is sustained by many authorities, which lay it down as a general principle of the law-merchant that ‘‘when the drawer of a bill or the maker of a note has himself, by careless execution of the instrument, left room for an alteration to be made, either by insertion or erasure, without defacing it or exciting the suspicion of a careful man, and the opportunity which he has afforded has been embraced and the instrument filled up with a larger amount or different terms than those which it bore at the time he signed it, will be liable upon it as altered to any hold- er in good faith, without notice.” But up- on this proposition there is an irreconcila- ble conflict of authority, and the authorities which sustain the doctrine are not agreed as to its basis. We do not agree with this de- claration of the rule of law; we cannot see how a forger can bind the maker of a draft, note or check any more by altering the in- strument than by forging it entire. When- ever a party, in good faith, signs a complete draft, note or check, however awkwardly drawn, he should, we think, be equally pro- tected from its alteration by forgery, in whatever mode it may be accomplished, and the parties taking such altered paper must be considered as taking it upon their own risk, so far asthe question of forgery is concerned and as trusting to the character and credit of those from whom they received it and of the intermediate holders. It has been said that the free interchange of nego- tiable paper requires the establishment of the rule insisted upon by the plaintiff, but we do not understand the law, in giving pe- culiar sanction to negotiable paper in order to secure its free circulation and to protect holders in good faith for value before ma- turity, to go to the extent of holding the maker liable on acontract into which he never entered or gave his assent. On the contrary, the well-settled doctrine is a ma- terial alteration of a negotiable instrument, after its execution and delivery to the payee as a complete contract, avoids it, except as against parties consenting to the alteration. ean arin Honesty the Best Policy. Cincinnati Banker’s Wife—My dear, you must give little Dick a spanking, and a hard one, too. Banker—I haven’t time; I must— “But it won’t do to overlook this fault. He stole all the money you brought home from the Sunday school collection and then went out and pitched pennies with it.” “Great Cesar! Lost every cent of it, I suppose?” ‘*‘No; he won a lot more that some other boy had taken from his father.” “Oh! Tell him to putmy money back where he got it, like an honest boy.” HENRY J.
