THE DRUMMER’S GHOST.
Written Especially for THE TRADESMAN.
In the fall of ’72, [ was on the road for
Jones, Smith & Jones, wholesale boot and

| shoe dealers of Chicago. For three months
previous to the time of which [ write I had
| been calling on the trade of Iowa and Ne-

braska, but on my arrival at the house one
Saturday in November, I was informed that
I should take Indiana and Ohio, next trip,
as Berger, whose territory it was, was _ ill
and unable to go,out. Acéordingly, I made
my preparations, fixed up a new line of
samples and started out the following Tues-
day.

Being a stranger to the merchants on this
route, my success was not phenomenal, and
I reached the little town of B , in In-
diana, on a dark, drizzly November night,
thoroughly tired out and heartily discour-
aged. It Was nearly nine o’clock when the
train steamed into the station. The depot
was situated half a mile from the town, and
there was no vehicle of any description to
convey myself and grips toa hotel. This
added not a little to my already great dis-
comfort; but, as nothing better offered, I
hired a surly-looking fellow—a Pole or Bo-
hemian I judged, by his conversation—to
carry my grips, and started out to walk

Ito do? Here I was, ina town of which I
had never even heard until sent there by my

firm, and no other hotel in the place! What

was I todo? Where to lay my head, or
how to find lodgings?

My gloomy reflections were here disturbed
by the creaking of a door on its rusty
hinges, whose harsh grating jarred strange-
ly on my neves. A villainous-looking man
came up the stairs, contemplated me with a
broad grin of astonishment and at length
addressed me.

“Howdy? Do you want a room for the
night?”

“Yes,” I replied; ‘‘after I have had some
supper, if you can supply me with it?”

“Oh, certainly,” and without further par-
ley he took my grips and, signalling to me
to follow him, led me into a long room, in
the center of which was a long table, with
half-a-dozen rough-looking characters seat-
ed around it playing cards. After clearing
anend off, my supper was brought in by a
slouchy-looking girl, and I sat down among
the rough crew to eat. I was nearly fam-
ished, and, therefore, ate heartily of the
rough food prepared for me, notwithstand-
ing the glances of curiosity and surprise cast
in my direction. After supper, I enquired
of the man who seemed to act the part of

me through the cracks in the boarded win-
dow?
Night is no friend to man, and’ man has
an instinctive dread of darkness, else
whence the terror of children, even before. -
they have been frightened by tales of goblin
grim and spectre dire? No sooner was I in
obscurity than all manner of horrors, possi-
ble and impossible, crowded upon me. [
flung myself upon my bed in the hopes of
sleeping, but the clothes seemed tainted
with the foul odor of dead men’s graves. If
T sat up it was worse, for ever and anon a
rustling sound, as of some one near me,
caused me to shudder afresh. The form of
the murdered man, with his livid brow and
half-glazed eye, seemed to stalk before me.
What prospects would I not have sacrificed
tobe out of that horrible hole! And now
the bells tolled the

‘Tell me, my worthy friend,” I asked, as
we waded side by side through the mud, ‘‘do
you know Mr. Talbot, the hotel-keeper?”

Mr. Talbot had been passing the after-
noon playing cards and drinking with a par-
ty of friends. The fumes of Indiana corn-
juice had mounted to the heads of the party.
Words grew high, blows were exchanged,
and one of the party dealt Mr. Talbot three
or four blows with a knife, any one of
which was of itself sufficient to have ex-

sentinel! By the dim flickering of an old
lamp, I saw before me the body of the mur-
dered landlord, lying on his bier, even as I
had seen him in the room below. But now
I could perceive how his shirt, which had
previously been concealed, was dyed with
the big black gouts of blood. I strove to.

‘Stone dead; die!”

‘““‘Why, what have I done?”

*‘American—no Pole.”

“Tam an American, certainly.”

‘Know that.”

“What do you mean by dying then?”

‘So, and so, and so!” And the fellow
thrust the air as though he clenched a dag-
ger. He then pointed to his heart, groaned
and rolled his eyes in a manrér awful to be-
hold. I began to feelrather uncomfortable,
for Peter had by no means the look of one
beside himself; moreover, the hangers-on at
a railway station were seldom lunatics.

‘I think we are at cross-purposes, my ex-
cellent friend,” I at length remarked.

*‘What do you mean by ‘die?’ ”

“Kill!” and he gave me a wild, sidelong
glance. j

‘How kill?”

‘‘When night comes.”

“When night comes—this very night?
Your wits are wool-gathering.”

‘“No understand.”

I shook my head and desisted from any
further attempts at conversation. We evi-
dently could not make each other out. And
yet, there was fearful meaning in the scoun-
drel’s words. I was well aware that this
part of Indiana was infested with a gang of
lawless men, sometimes called ‘White
Caps,” and that several murders had been
laid at their door. What if the dunder-
headed fellow had meant to convey a warn-
ing tome? I determined to divulge the
whole to the proprietor of the hotel—or
Starotsky, as the Pole called it—as soon as
we arrived. It was an old, weather-beaten
structure, situated on a dull, remote street.
Ere we reached it, I observed how each pas-
ser-by cast a furtive glance at its time-worn
walls. My guide did the same; and, setting
my grips down on the steps, pointed to the
door and shuffled off without a word or ges-
of salutation.

As I entered the old hotel, I was puzzled to
know where to find Mr. Talbot,the landlord,
who, by the way, was an acquaintance of
mine. The house was quitespacious. The
creaking of the rusty door-hinges resounded
through the whole building, yet without
bringing anyone to ascertain who might be
there.

I discovered an apartment on my left,

fellow, and that his pantomimic gestures
referred, in all probability, to the fate of the
landlord. The narrative finished, he con-
ducted me up the rickety staircase to the
apartment provided for me. It wasof large
dimensions and contained an old-fashioned
bedstead, an old table and two or three
dusty chairs. Suspended to.the wall was
a shabby looking-glass, almost bereft of its
reflecting powers,n a quaint, old-fashioned
frame, while the wall itself was covered
with dingy, smoke-begrimed paper. I felt
by no means at ease in this lonesome old
barn, as I had a considerable sum of money
on my person, which I had collected on my
trip. But I kept my own counsel, partly
from sheer nervousness, and partly because
I did not wish to appear at all daunted at
being in such close proximity toa corpse.
Lebrecht lighted a lamp and bidding me
good-night, left me alone.

I doubted the honesty of the fellow and
almost determined to leave the hotel at once,
but I held back from very shame. Why
should I make him the confidant of my tim-
idity? Ihad no doubt that he would spend
the night in some room or other to keep
watch over the murdered body of his em-
ploper.

I do not believe in ghosts, but yet at
night-time I own to being somewhat appre-
hensive of their appearance. This may
seem to involve a paradox, but I only state
the facts. The death-like stillness of all
around, the time-worn paper that hung in
shreds around that dreary chamber, the con-
sciousness of a murdered body in the room
below, all conspired to fill me with awe and
apprehension. I wearied for repose, but
could find none, Iexamined the window
to ascertain if it could afford me egress in
case of necessity, but to my dismay I found
it securely boarded up on the outside, which
forbade all hopes of escape in that quarter.

Suddenly, the old hotel seemed awaken-
ing to life. I heard doors open and close,
steps at some little distance and the sound
of voices in animated conversation. I was
at a loss how to account for this rapid
change in the state of affairs, but I felt that
it boded me little good. It seemed as though
I heard a voice saying, ‘‘’Tis you they seek!
Save yourself before it is too late!” I shud-
dered in every limb. Methought I saw the

I could no longer doubt the fearful reality of ©
the spectacle before me. Almost paralyzed
with fear, I staggered back into my room.
and fell backward on the bed.

And now a confused noise proceeded from
the bier. Was the deadalive, for thesound
that I heard was of one raising himself
with difficulty? A low, suppressed moan
thrilled in my ears, and I saw before me the
form of the murdered man. It strode.
through the door, entered my room, then
stalked awhile to and fro, and disappeared.
As I again summoned reason to my aid, the:
spectre, or the corpse, or the living dead,.
gave my reason the lie by depositing its.
long, lank, livid length upon my bed and.
across my body, its icy shoulders resting up--
on my neck and nearly depriving me of
breath.

How I escaped with life, I can not explain
to the present hour, Mortal dread was up-
oa me, and 1 must have remained a long
while in unconsciousness; for, as I heard,
from beneath my hideous burden, the clock
sound, instead of striking one—the signa
for spirits to vanish—it was striking two.

I leave the horrors of my situation to the
reader’s imagination. The noisome smell
of the charnel-house in my nostrils and a
yet warm corpse struggling for breath, as
though the death-rattle were upon him,
while I was benumbed with terror and the
hellish weight of the burden I bore. The
scenes in Dante’s Hell fell far short of an-
guish such as I was then experiencing. I
was too weak or terror-stricken to disengage
myself from the corpse, which seemed as if
expiring a second time; for I conjectured
that, while senceless from loss of bluod, the
wretched man had been taken for dead and
thrust forthwith into a coffin, and now lay
dying in good earnest. He seemed power-
less alike for life or death, and I was doom-
ed to be the couch whereon the fearful
struggle would terminate.

I strove to fancy that it was all a dream
and that I was laboring under an attack of
nightmare, but circumstances and surround-
ing objects were too strong to admit of any
such conclusion; still, I believe I should
have finally succeeded in convincing myself
that it was all a vision, had not an incident
more striking than any that hitherto pre-
ceded established, beyond a doubt, the fact
of my being broad awake. It was day-
break; not that I could perceive the light of
heaven, for the shoulders of my expiring
friend impeded my view, but 1 inferred so
from the stir in the street. I heard- the
footsteps and voices of men just outside the
room, I could not make out the subject of
conversation, but I divined that they were
busy about the coffin. Now, beyond doubt,
they were looking for the dead man, and my
delivery was at hand; and so it proved, al-
though it happened after a fashion for which
I was but little prepared. One of the ex-
ploring party smote so lustily upon the form

on my hapless person with such effect as to

make me yell out most vigorously and take

a position directly in the rear of the defunct.

This new method of restoring the dead to

life proved so efficacious in the present in-

stance that I doubt whether the impassibili-

ty of the dead were not preferable to the

acute perceptions of the living. I was now

conscious of the fact that the room was

filled with men. The timely castigation had

been adminiatered by an officer appointed to

superintend the funeral. The landlord still’

slept the sleep of death in his coffin, stand-

ing in the room next to mine, which I had

mistaken for the hall, whither it had been

conveyed by the drunken fellows of the

dining room, who had been ordered to carry

it to the landlord’s own chamber, but instead’

had brought it there and confided it to the

charge of one of their besotted comrades,

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

etroit, Oct. 19—As the editor of a jour-

whose policy has been to bring about a
harmonious feeling between the different

ets of the State, I deplore the extreme
_ position taken by one of the Grand Rapids
dailies in its frequent references to the City
of the Straits. That Detroit may have
seemed to be old-fogyish in the past, I am
not prepared to deny, but a day’s visit with
the men now at the helm in business affairs
will convince the most skeptical that a spir-
-» it of enterprise is now a marked character-
istic of Detroit business men. In view of
this fact, I deplore the compromising state-
“ments continually made by the paper re-
ferred to, as such a course will unavoidably
| bring about an era of ill-feeling between the
two cities, which cannot fail to result to the
disadvantage of both markets.

As a young man, in interested in the success
of young men, I am pleased tonote the tend-
-eney here toward shifting the burdens of

“business onto young men’s shoulders.
While hardly in keeping with Detroit’s rep-
utation for conservatism, itis a fact that
more young men are managing large estab-
lishments here than ever before and that the
ratio is increasing every year. Perhaps to
this change may be attributed the absence
of that public indifference which, it is
claimed, once existed here, but I prefer to
leave the affirmation of this supposition to
those more familiar with the subj ect.

With all due respect to the older men, I
think they will mostly agree with me that it
is, generally speaking, the young men who set
the stamp of enterprise on a town. Fertile
in new ideas, they are content to allow their
elders to put a veto on half their sugges-
tions, while they carry the other half to a
successful issue. Full of vim as well as
ideas, confident of the success of their
plans, cheerful in spite of rebuffs and re-
verses and elastic under defeat, the young
men of the country present a distinct type,
which is one of the most characteristic fea-
tures of American progressiveness.

Buffalo, Oct. 20—A city of grain eleva-
tors, iron factories, lumber and ship yards,
coupled with unusual transportation facili-
ties, both by water and rail—such are the
features which commend Buffalo in the
eyes of the stranger.

New York, Oct. 22—The Englishman
who comes to this country for the first time,
takes a trip across the continent on a light-
ning express train, deriving all his informa-
tion concerning the country from the people

“he chances to meet and talk with on his
journey, and then goes home to write a crit-
ical analysis of American customs, meets
with merited derision at the hands of our
people. Lest I may be accused of being
equally inconsistent, I shall not attempt any
general references to the metropolis of the
country, after having walked its streets
scarcely more than a dozen hours for the
first time.

One of the most frequent topics of con-
versation among grocery jobbers is the un-

"warranted advance in. sugar made by the
Sugar Trust. John T. Burgess, who bears
the reputation of being one ef the best post-

- ed men in the city on the grocery market,

as ures me that the present price of granu-
lated is preposterous, considering the ruling
prices for the raw product, and that there is
no reason—aside from the artificial advance
sustained by the refiners—why granulated
should be sold above 6 cents from first hands.

; Tea is dull and featureless, the market

‘having apparently no strength. Japans

have been in small demand. Amoys and

Formosas are fairly steady, but English
Breakfasts are without particular change.
The coffee men claim that the present
-eondition of the market is a puzzle. The
general tendency is downward—the dullness
in this country has caused an actual decline
abroad.
Speaking in a Saori way, cassia is firm;

-- pepper is easier; rice is dull and slow sale;

Valencia and Malaga raisins are lower;
_ currants are weaker; citron is dull; old
“Turkish prunes are dull and lower; filberts
» are higher; choice butter is searce, but me-
_ dinm grades are plenty and dull; cheese is
: qaotably lower, both at home and abroad;

an example that other towns throughout the

State may profitably follow. She has grav-

do the same by another leading northeast,
the farmers along the line doing the grading.
Caro people propose to keep this thing up
until all roads leading to the enterprising
town shall be good ones.

41 in the line of tea-testing by Henry

dy, formerly of. Hudson we Chicago News
remarks: ‘

A great deal has heey written about e
ruinous physical effects of this curious and
well-paid trade—if an income: ranging from
$10,000 to $25,000 a year may properly be
called well-paid—but Mr. Sawdy shows _
none. The Eastern tea-tasters, as a rule,
are as abstemious as monks in their diet,
avoiding highly-flavored food and _. tobacco,

but Mr. Sawdy is an epicure and gives fre- |

quent dinners to his friends. He knows |
every variety of leaf grown in the tea coun-
tries, and identifies each after one sip of
their infusion. Heisin frequent demand

by the importers of New York and Califor-

nia; and, it is said, whether a cargo worth

anywhere around $200,000 or a single box

of tea depends upon it, his judgment is un-

questioned. Of course, such a fineness of

taste is natural.

providing for the appointment of such a an

Chairman Stowe, of the Committee on
Revision of Constitution, presented the fol-
' lowing report:
‘ Your Committee on Revision of the Con-
stitution, appointed on April 5, and excused
from duty April 19 until such time as we
could report.a draft thoroughly in accord
with the ideas of the State body, herewith
present the form of local constitution and
by-laws recommended to Iccal associations
by the Michigan Business Mcn’s Association
at its recent annual convention, held at
Flint, with such changes as'seem to be ne-
eessary to meet local requirements. Al-
though doubtful whether such recommenda-
tion comes properly within our province,
your Committee would suggest the desira-
bility of enlarging the scope of our organiz-
ation so as to include reputable business
men ‘In’-any- line, taking on a public im-
provement feature, and changing the name
to that of the Grand Rapids Business Men’s
Association. E. A. STowE,
E. J. HERRICK,
B. F. EMERY,
: 4 f Committe.

The report was accepted, when H. A. Hy-
dorn moved that the report be adopted.
After a considerable discussion of the sub-
ject, B. ¥. Emery. moved that the report be
laid on the table for one week, which was
subsequently withdrawn. The original mo-
tion was then adopted.

President Coye congratulated the Associa-
tion on the change it had made and stated
that he ‘expected to see the new Association
prove even more of a success than the old
organization.

H. A. Hydorn suggested that the officers
whose terms expire at the next meeting con-
tinue to hold office until the annual meeting
in January.

The Secretary read a communication from
the State Association relative to applying
for a charter and ratifying the State consti-
tution. On motion of Geo. Dunaven, the
State constitution was ratified and the Ex-
ecutive Committe was instructed to apply
for re-affiliation and incorporation without
delay.

B. F. Emery read.a paper on the subject
of “‘The Groceryman at Sea,” as follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen:

_Agreeable to promise, I have noted down
_ a few facts, figures and fancies regarding

my experience as a dealer ona naval vessel.

_-To commence with, to use an old sailor
phrase, 1 will spin youacuffer. From a
-printing office to the deck of a man-of-war,
from good broiled beefsteak and feather
beds to salt-horse, plum duif, lob sconce,
hot water and spoons in lieu of coffee and
tea, I soon found to a boy with a good appe-
tite a horse of another color.

The town clock of a man-of-war is the
ship’s bell, which strikes every half hour
from the time the captain’s pennant is brok-
en at the mast-head and the ship goes into
commission and the same is hauled down
again and the ship dismantled, and the
crew is paid off.

Everything goes like machine work—eat-
ing and even sleeping is done with the same
routine during the cruise.

T wo important persons play a conspicu-
ous part in the daily programme—the pay-
master, or general dealer, and his assistant,
known as Jack-of-the-Dust. The paymas-
ter has full charge of all the ship’s stores
and money—Jack dishes out the goods and
spends his money with equal energy. No
competition, no dead-beats, no delivering of
goods, no running around after orders, but
your custo ners living with you and all ea-
ger to do business.

The ship’s stores are divided into two
classes—the provisions Uncle Sam furnishes
and the clothing, cloth, flannel and general
wearing apparel. Tobacco, tin pails, cups,
spoons and biankets the crew buy.

- ‘The standard dollar is a big black plug of

tobacco, and all trades and dickers among
the ship’s company are figured on that basis.

The ship’s company are divided into two
divisions—starboard and port watch, and it
is four hours’ labor on and four off, except
when it is all hands on deck, Every man

“and boy has his number and station and be-
longs to a certain part of the ship (the same
- as we all live on certain streets in this city),
the eating department being divided into
messes of about twenty men to a mess, with
one man at the head as cook, who, for draw-
ing the provisions and being both: landlady
and Bridget, receives his ration in money
_ (amounting to $7.50 per month) in addition
to his regular pay. The provisions are
served out three times a week, scales being
sometimes used, but more often pork and
salt-horse are weighed out with a pork hook.
The provisions are of a hard and solid na-
ture, especially the hard-tack and salt-horse,
_. but the main varieties are pork and beef,
_ dried apples, molasses, rice, flour, canned
tomatoes, pickles and a four-pound can of
beef called boutilon, which is the butt of the

_ whole list; also butter, which generally

. dates away back and is strong enough to
_. take care of itself. |

-. Qnce a month, the crew draw their cloth-
ing, tobacco, etc., all of which have one
pes during the cruise. Every three months
all hands sign accounts with the paymaster,

as they all have an open aaa the crew

a genuine picnic. The soap is made ex-

pressly for salt water use and in five-pound

bars as white as the driven snow. Every
man is his own tailor and, generally, his
own barber. _-

Now, gentlemen, in conclusion, if I have
not already completely tired you out with
my sailor yarn, I will simply say, to return
home froma long foreign cruise,. to the
United States, whose fiag—the stars and
stripes—is respected on all waters and lands,
and once again to mingle with my own kin
was my lot in 1867. When I was paid off,
after serving three and a half years in the
United States Navy, I took up the battle for
for bread and butter as a Groceryman on
Land.

E. A: Stowe presented the following:

Resolved, That this Association put itself
on record as unqualifiedly in favor of the
establishment of a permanent exposition as
advocated by I. C. Levi and other public
spirited gentlemen and that we individually
extend the undertaking all the encourage-
meni and support we can command.

On motion of H. A. Hydorn, the resolu-
tion was adopted. -

The meeting then adjourned.

tory, which will begin operations next seas-

for a more stirring existence. I
d to plung into war and saliate a long
thusiastic hankering for gore. There

‘was not a boy in the town who could sit as
1t on the end of the seat on the wagon
I ecould—and yet I was not happy. The
untry wanted a few admirals, and I want-

the decks ofour famous American men of
4 ‘war with my sword drawn up to my breast
_ —and my salary up to date—and order the
crew to never, under no circumstances,
_ throw up the ship or words to that effect.
Shen I would write to the Secretary of the

 'Navy.and ‘tell him how we had met them

- sand we were theirs.
S That does not sound just like the lines I
‘want to quote, but it’s near enough to al-
"low the reader to catch ‘on.
A vacancy existed at Anapolis, and the
‘congressman from our district called for a
competitive examination to fill the place.
ZI responded. About half a dozen old
back numbers. sat on the board and
pumped us applicants until I hadn’ta single
idea that I could lay hold of without hust-
ling pretty hard to findit. 1 neverattended
‘a more one-sided conversation in my life
ithanthat one was. They would ask mea
question and when I answered it I wouid
ask then a couple, but they paid no atten-
tion to me.

They asked me about everything they
scould conveniently think of, beginning with
asking my name, when I was born, what
for, if I was ever sea-sick and how much of
‘my internal system did I part with while
looking over the side of the ship, and who
mutilated the handsome proportions of
William E. Patterson, Esq.

When I had senta gleam of intelligence
on all of these essential points into their
brains, I was sent to the doctor, who had

“ gonsiderable merriment at my expense.

‘sDisrobe,” said he.

*Doe,” said I, as a heated bobtail flush
made a round trip over my classic features,
“‘Lam only a boy, yet I will preserve my
honor if I die in the attempt. I did not
come here to be insulted. I have just fed
that gang of old fossils in there with
enough choice genus of wisdom to last
them till the robins nest again, but before 1
will stand in all my naked beauty before
you I will scorn the position I so much
hanker after. I will leave the Navy to get
along the best it ean.”

He explained that it was to prove my
physical qualification that he asked me to

submit to the examination, and I began to
disrobe. In a few fleeting moments I stood
in all my glowing beauty before him.

“*Young man,” said he, ‘‘I don’t remember
of ever having looked upon such a quaint,
picturesque-looking piece of architecture as
you are, nor have I ever seen such wild and

irregular chuncks cut in the atmosphere as
are now executed by your anatomy. You
are so constructed that you can cover more
of the adjacent neighborhood than any per-
sonI ever saw of your size. I think you
could spend a very happy day if, peradven-
ture, you could have a family reunion of
. your feet. But, no, that is hardly possible
as no arrangement could be made in regard
special rates with railroads. Until I saw
you, Iheld firmly to the orthodox belief
that man was made -in the image of his
_Creator—i think differently now. To what
ge do you intend to put that wild waste of
shoulder blades and where under the blue
waulted dome did you find those misfit
- ears which extend so far out into the cruel
_ world and how in the name of heaven do
. you keep what brains you have in your
_ head when you gap or laugh? I never saw
_- @ betterexhibition of the internal workings
_ of the human system then when the top of
 your-head flew back a minute ago and I
dew: you ‘were enjoying asmile. With un-
restricted freedom do your bones meander,
in controversy to all physiological laws,
about your make-up. The quiet, reserved
dlemeanor ‘of your left knee strikes me
most painfully. The uniform that would
‘fit you would also fit an adult flash of zig-
ag lightening. You are truly a vnique
‘hunk of human nature—all that you lack

"LEISURE HOUR JOTTINGS.

 

 

«BY A COUNTRY MERCHANT.
Written Especially for THz TRADESMAN. :
_ While I was standing in my store door a
- few moments ago Slosser passed by, and
_ although I nodded, and manifested a de-
_ sire to recognize him I couldn’t discover by
_ any motion of Slosser that he acknowledged
my existence.

_ Slosser is an agriculturalist who owns one
hundred and twenty acres of fine land; one-
third of which is recorded in hisson’s name,
one-third in his wife’s and the balance in
his own.

I don’t think that I’m unduly sensitive,
but as Slosser has been ‘‘cutting” me stead-
ily and persistently for the past twelve
months the thing is becoming monotonous.
I know what impels him to ignore me, and
from long acquaintance with gentlemen of
his character and habits. I can readily un-
. derstand his reasons, and appreciate the
disgust and contempt which an accidental
view of me occasions him. But what I
blame Slosser for is that he won’t give me
an opportunity to abjectly apologize to him,
except in some public and conspicuous
place. No man of the remotest sensibility
likes to grovel in the dust before a fellow
man, no matter how deeply he may have
‘wronged him, when there are dozens of his
neighbors in sight to witness his degreda-
tion, and when Slosser coldly and deliber-
ately gives me to understand that my hu-
miliation must be a matter of public com-
ment I submit that he is unreasonably vin-

dictive.
* * * * x

Will THE TRADESMAN kindly allow me
te give my version of the difficulty that
exists between Slosser and myself? Iam
aware that, at first glance, it may appear to
be a trivial and unimportant matter, but asa
combination of trivial and unimportant mat-
ters has an unmistakable effect in subdu-
ing and obstructing the sunshine of life,
I may, possibly, by ‘‘rising to a personal
explanation” be instrumental in averting
some little spells of cloudy weather for
others.

Nearly all men have their indiosyncracies
and peculiarities and Slosser’s peculiarity is
an instinctive dislike for people whom he
owes. Now lam not going to condemn him
for this trait, or assert that it is a remarka-
bly singular and noteworthy one, for it may
be that nature and habit have rendered it
almost impossible for him to conceal his
feelings, and I know that he is only one
amidst a multitude that have a chronic af-
fection of the same kind. As I said before
it’s only Slosser’s stubborn vindictiveness
that I take exceptions to.

If Slosser had approached me in a
straight-forward and business-like manner,
and demanded credit, I shouid have politely
but firmly refused him; but he didn’t, and I
claimed that the fact of our estrangment is
due to him as well as myself. I knew him,
by reputation, to be one of that class of
gentlemen who take pride in_ remarking:
‘Well, what are you going to do about it?”
‘1’ execution proof!” ‘If you get it be-
fore I do, let me know!” and making ex-
pressions of a similar nature, and, under
ordinary circumstances, I should have so con-
ducted myself that Slosser and I would have
continued on amicable terms, but_ the cir-
cumstances, while in one sense they were
too ordinary, were such that I openly and
advisedly accuse Slosser of deluding and
entrapping me into the gulf that separates
us,

But I suspect that I am _ becoming tire-
some, and almost approaching the point of
ill-temper. Idon’t want to do either; I
merely want to show, calmly, dispassionate-

ly, and as a matter of warning to others,
“how I came to give Slosser a casus belli.

About fifteen months ago, Slosser who
had, metaphorically speaking, just finished
cutting a new notch on his stick of victims,
thappened to cast his eye on me,. and
‘‘marked me for his own.” He at once be-
~ geome one of my best cash customers. He

a praised my commodities and approved of the
appearance of my store. He selected some
- gpecialities in my line and recommended
them continuously to his neighbors. He
put me. on track of acouple of d. b.’s,
but, as I now believe, privately warned
- them of the impending peri]. He, in shart,

used every scheme and device to lay me
under obligations to him. —

‘And then Slosser gradually, and cau-
tiously and skillfully, like a practiced

~The other day a young fellow walked in

to Jone’s store and got a pretty large com- |

pound of various drugs mixed together in a

| bottle. Reaching for the package he said:

‘You'll have to put it down a few days,
Mr. Jones!” :

‘Lemme see!” said the old man, reflec-
tively, ‘‘’Aint your name Gowger?”

**V es!”

*‘An’ you’s shet up a year or two fur
borrowin’ a cow?”

‘Yes, but—

“‘An’ arterwards about twice as much
longer fur a mistake in the title of a hoss?”

“Yes, but I’ve reformed!”

“Chaplin kind o’ made you see the error
of your ways, I s’pose?”

Yes!” :

‘Say young feller, did you ever happen
to read ’bout the niggers’ reformin’ down in
Texas? No! Well you see they were
havin’ a pow’rful revival where this nigger
lived, an’ one night the preacher tackled
the subjec’ of chicken stealin’, an’ shot so
much fire an’ brimstone at the practic’, that
this partic’lar nigger got terr’bly scared, an’
he riz up in meetin’ an’ said that if the
Lord would forgiv’ ’im fur the chickens he’d
took, he’d solem’ly promis’ to confine his-
self exclusively to sheep in the futur’.”

‘An’ now, Gowger, you put me in min’ of
that darkey!” continued Jones, regarding the
young man with manifest disgust, ‘‘only 1
b’lieve it’s a cussed sight more like re-
formin’ to change from chickens to sheep,
than ’tis to quit stealin’ cows an’ hosses an’
go to dead beatin’! The hoss thief has got
to have suthin’ like a little sand, but the
beat’s the sneakin’est kind of a sneakin’
coward!”

And in some respects I don’t know but
the old man was nearly correct.

of poisoning by the same.

introduction of lead into the system

take place through the skin, the stom-

I and the mucous membranes

r parts; through the skin, as in the

ation of carbonate of lead ointment to

here a large surface is involved;

pugh the lungs, as certain occupations

involve the inhalation; persons employed in

s manufacture of lead paints, and also

2 employed in paper-staining, glazing

ards, grinding of colors, painting, plumb-

ag shot-making. Lead poisoning has re-

peatedly occurred from sleeping in. newly-

‘painted rooms. Lead may be introduced

“through the stomach in various articles of

food and drink. The colic of Poiton was

- due to wine, and that of Devonshire to cider

adulterated with lead to give it sweetness.

_ Ina garrison of United States soldiers, at

‘Fort Delaware, numerous cases of lead pois-

‘occurred, which were found to be ow-

‘ing to the use of the water collected in cis-

terns from a large painted roof. Fountain

_ soda-water often contains lead in considera-

ble quantities. An epidemic colic in New

Orleans ‘was traced to lead contained in
soda-water.

Professor Doremus, some years ago, dem-
‘onstrated the presence of lead in considera-
ble quantity i in soda-water drawn .from the
fountains in New York city. Water distrib-
ed through lead pipes is not infrequently the

“cause of its introduction into the system.
Lead is used sometimes to color confection-
ery, condiments, and other articles, in suffi-
cient quantity to produce poisonous effects.
— the spring of 1866, in Orange Coun-
ty, IN. Y., 213 cases of lead poisoning oc-
curred. After considerable research, it was
ascertained that lead was contained in the
fiour and meal used in that part of the coun-
try. The mill stones were old and constant-
ly needing repair; the large cavities fre-
quently forming were filled up with com-
mon lead instead of being filled with ce-
ment; the attrition of thegrinding detached
minute particles of lead, and these minute
minute particles becoming mixed with the
flour and meal were transformed into the
carbonate by the process of fermentation
and baking. Persons have become poison-
ed by eating of canned fruits, supposed to
be due to lead, with which cheaper grades
of tin are sometimes contaminated. Several
years ago, a number of persons in Ohio
were affected with a disease which for some
time was regarded as a novel epidemic, and
was called dry cholera. This disease pre-
sented the diagnostic character of lead colic
and it was traced to the common use ofa
cheap kind of earthenware, into the glazing
of which lead entered. Cases have been re-
ported of lead-poisoning by means of col-
Jyria and vaginal injections.

Lead, by whatever source it enters the
system, produces, if in sufficient quantity,
symptoms and signs by which the physi-
cian is enabled to make a correct diagnosis.

.A few of the symptoms are: Pallor due to}

anzemia, icterode hue of theskin, loss of ap-
petite, constipation, metallic taste in the
mouth, a peculiar fetor of the breath, mus-
eular debility, pain in limbs, pain in abdo-
>» men which is usually in the region of the
umbilicus. The pain is sometimes acute
and lancinating, while at other times it is
dull or aching.
mcre or less tympanitic, but may be de-
pressed; and is often resisting to pressure.
Pressure may be well borne if made gradu-
ally and over considerable space, and often
affords relief, while pressure with the ends
of the fingers, or percussion of the abdomen
is not well borne. More or less. nausea,
sometimes vomiting, scanty urine, and mic-
turition sometimes difficult and painful. A
marked characteristic is the bluish discolor-
ation of gums at their junction with the
teeth. The discoloration is attributed to the
formation of lead sulphide, hydrogen  sul-
_ phide being evolved from the decomposition
_ of food beneath the margin of the gums and
between the teeth.

The treatment of lead poisoning embraces
palliative and curative measures. Anodynes
given by mouth and rectum, conjoined with
soothing applications to the abdomen, or
given by mouth; warm baths are useful as
a palliative measure; opium in some form,
the dose and its repetition to be regulated
by the persistence and intensity of the pain;
free purgation, saline, or other cathartics to
be determined by condition of stomach.
Alum has been administered with good suc-
cess; one to two drams is administered dur-
ing the day in a ptisan, to which forty or
fifty drops of laudanum are added. The
remedy now regarded as possessing the most
efficacy is the iodideof potassium. Assum-
ing that the local manifestations of lead
poisoning are due to the presence of an in-
soluble compound of lead in the tissues of
. the affected parts, it is claimed for the io-
dide of potassium the power of effecting the

liberation of the lead from the tissue and}:

. its elimination from the system. The iodide
_is supposed to combine with the lead in the

“BEE “= CHOP’ JAPAN TEA,

This tea is grown in the Province of Surunga, which district, all Japanese admit,
produces the most regular leaf and best drinking Tea of the many plantations now yield-
ing. Each year some new district becomes known, but none grow any tea equal to that
from Surunga. Our Teas are‘carefully picked by the natives, and the leaf well rolled.
They are then sent to Yokohoma, where special attention is given to the firing and pack-
ing for this market. We can highly recommend our ‘‘Brr Cnopr” Tea, and all lovers of
a full, rich drinking tea will appreciate its many merits. Try it and be convinced.

The Drug Market.

Quinine tends steadily downward. There
is little demand and large stocks. Opium is
dull and weak. Morphia is steady. Bal-
sam copaiba has advanced and is tending
higher. Cubeb berries are very firm, and
likely to be higher soon. Calomel, corrosive
sublimate and red precipitate have all ad-
vanced 3e. per pound. Insect powder has
again advanced and very high prices will
rule next season. Cocoa butter has ad-

vanced. Oil sassafras has declined.

Bug Finish!

READY FOR USE DRY.
NO MIXING REQUIRED.

 

 

it sticks to the vines and Finishes the whole
crop of Potato Bugs with one applicaiion; also
kills any Curculio, and the Cotton and Tobacco
Worms. | ‘

This is the only safe way to use a Strong
Poison; none of the Poison is in a clear state,
but thoroughly combined by patent process
and machinery, with material to help the very
fine powder to stick to the vines and entice
the bugs to eat it, and it is also a fertilizer.

ONE POUND will go as far as TEN POUNDS
of plaster and Paris Green as mixed -by the
farmers. Itis therefore cheaper, and saves
the trouble and danger of mixing and using
the green, which, needless to:say, is danger-
ous to handle. ee
_ Bug Finish was used the past season on the

State Agricultural College Farm at Lans:
Michigan, and, in answer to
managers write: “The Bug finish gave good
satisfaction on garden and farm.”’ Many un-
solicitated letters bave been received prais-
ing Bug Finish. = £

carriages, buggies, sleighs, etc., entailed a large ex-
pense, aud often where repainting an old vehicle was
really necessary, so great was the cost, it was usually
neglected. i

Neal’s Carriage Paints render this neglect un-
necessary, inasmuch as by their use repainting can
be done at a mere trifling cost. They are prepared
from the very finest materials, and are all ready toa

provision is rendered as little obnoxious as
possible.

We can furnish the trade in any quan-
tity desired either with or without card of
