Washington Correspondence Christian Union. | Ten years ago Bradley Barlow was a, prince among the star route contractors. He | had agents in Washington every winter to look after his interests, and, in spite of losses, | piled up a great fortune. In Vermont he | was looked upon as a money king, and his | fame went out as that of a poor boy who by: marveloas skill had beaten the world and amassed wealth. Five years ago he said’ he had money enough. Perhaps he saw that , the iniquities of the star route ring were to— be investigated. Ile went out of the Dbusi- ness, and in 1881, when Dorsey and the rest were indicted, he snapped his fingers and took refuge behind the statute of limitations. | Before that, in 1878, so great was his popu-' larity in Vermont, that, as an independent : candidate, he was elected to Congress over both regular nominees. He bought the_his- toric John Quincy Adams house, refitted and | furnished it at a great expense. Over a mil- lion dollars in money was invested there. He was president of a bank; {he lived luxur- | iously; men envied him, and pondered in their thoughts the way the momev was .ob-' taind. ‘To-day he is a beggar. Ilis railroad is taken from him, the bahk is wrecked and in a receiver’s hands, his house is deserted, ' his favoite grandson, named after him, is dead by accident, and Barlow himself, at. sixty-five, is broken down in heart and soul. Only the other day I went to the sheriff's | sale where the furniture and carriages of his Washington establishment were sold by the’ sheriff. No great catastrophe did it, but his riches erumbled in his hands. It might have been so in any case, but now it seems as if, retributive justice had done even more than its work. Tar Production. Tar is produced in an entirely different: way from turpentine, says a writer in the. Evening Post, being made from the dead | wood of the long-leaved pine. This dead woodis a peculiar substance; it occurs in the heart of the gigantic pine buried for a' century in the ooze of the swamp, in the blackened trunks felled by the torrents of , fire that sometimes rush through the forests, ; and in the limbs torn from the trees by the | last winter’s ice; it is a concentration about the heart of all the juices of the pine. For: the site of his tar kiln the workman chooses a part of the forest abounding in dead wood, strips the latter of its bark and outer cover- | ing, and cuts the heart into billets of two or, three feet im length. In building his kiln he proceeds much like the northern charcoal | burner in raising his coal pit, except that on the bottom, which is slightly raised, he digs a conduit for the tar to flow out. The fire: is kindled at the top, and the slow combus- | tion forces the tar down to the. bottom, ; whence it Hows out throughthe trench into | the ditch prepared for it on the side of the} kiln. He tells us that a kiln twenty feet in| diameter and twelve feet high will run 100! barrels of tar ia eight or nine days’ burning. | Piteh is tar reduced to one-half its bulk by} evaporation. North Carolina is loosing her! grasp on the naval store industry. Her mag- | nificent forests are fast becoming exhausted, : and the hackler has already begun his on- , slaughts on the virgin ferests of South Caro- } lina, Georgia and Florida. This is shown by the fact that although a few years ago) Charleston and Savannah had no standing as | naval stores ports, the former in 1882, ex- ported 266,848 barrels of these products, and | the latter 297,284; while in 1883, the Charles- ; ton shipments had grown to 355,092) and! those of Savannah to 464,817. e } The Latest Patent Medicine Scheme. The latest advertising dodge is practiced by a medicine company which is doing a big business in some of the villages of Southern Michigan. Its traveling ¢apital consists of a’ showy wagon, some make-believe Indians, and a lot of kettles aud other cooking appar- atus. An eneampment is formed on a sub- urban lot. where the Indians give a sort of circus performance, with aboriginal dances and unintelligible songs. Then, in full view of the great crowd which has gathered, they prepare the medicine. A fire is built, over which is hung a large kettle. Into ihe ket- tle they throw herbs and roots. While the fire burns and the kettle boils they dance around it with incantations, each Indian tak- ing his turn at violently stirring the contents of the kettle. All this is to show the crowd that the medicine is honestly made, and that it eontains no noxious imgredient. When | the mess is. sufficiently stewed they strain and bottle it, after which thay sell it to the happy bystanders at $1 a bottle. As the principle cost is the expense of keeping up the show and traveling from place to place, the profits are large. It is a common thing for the sales to amount to $100 or even $150 on a fair evening. A Swedish Match Factory. At Jonkoping, Sweden, is the oldest and largest match factory in the world. It was established 100 years ago, and there are now to be seen specimens of the matches used at the beginning of the present century, con- sisting of big fagots of wood furnished with a handle and atip to dip jn a bath of sul- phur. The wood from which the present kind of matches is made is taken from the adjacent forests, which are divided into 50 sections. Every vear one section is cut and then replahted with young trees. The trees are hewn into planks in the forest and cut inte slivers in the factory. The boxes are made of the outside of the trees. The fac- tories are on the banks of lakes which are connected with one another by wide canals. Millions of matches are turned out each day. | Some idea of where they all go to may be obtained from the statement that there are | at least 280,000,000 of matches burned each day in the United States, or an average of five matches for each person. The Manufacture of Snuff. It takes fully eighteen months to convert tocaeco into snuff, and it goes through the} inost elaborate preparations before. it is pre- sented to the public. Probably few people are aware that, after the safne fashion as, beer, tobacco is allowed to ferment so as te’ be thoroughly pickled, and is kept in this | condition for at least six months, after: which it is subjected to a steam temperature of 240 degrees. When thoroughly dry it has; to be ground, which is done by means of | ’ Over 400 women and boys, — i Se are engaged i one snuff faetory in Jersey” City. Ss Seconds Grades of Canned Goods. So great has been the demand for copies. of last week’s paper containing the, list of | canned goods Seconds, and so many have re- | quested that it be reprinted, that it has been | deemed advisable to reproduce it, omitting | the preliminary remarks: BALTIMORE SECONDS. The following is a full list of the Seconds | packed at the Baltimore-market, the reliabil- ity of which list is vouched for by the Trade: Carroll County Packing Co. Areher, Allen & Co. Krank Albert.

At American rates of wages, many of the imported buttens could not be put upon their cards for the price they sell for. Glass but- ren are largely employed at the work, which they do as reatly and quickly as adults. The children get ten cents'a day, men from forty’ to fifty cents, and women a little less.

Tobacco is a Medicine. Dr. Couper Wistar, a leading physician of Philadelphia and one of the inspectors of Moyamensing Prison, gave the Prison Com- mittee of the Common Council some inter- esting facts in connection with the use of to- baceo upon the health of the prisoners. There is an item of $600 in the appropria- tion bill of the eoming year for the prison for the purchase of tobacco. The inspector said that the board some time ago had decid- ed to cut off the supply of that weed, taking the ground that law-breakers were not en- titled to luxuries, and it was found that per- sons who had never used it were being taught to do so—the males to chew, and the fémales to take snuff. The effect upon the prisoners was quickly shown. ‘They began to droop and complain, while their health The tobacco distribution, was then resumed, and it was shown that by its use the health of the pris- ers was 50 per cent. better. ‘For such ail- defective appetite, water-brash, heartburn, dyspepsia, and diseases incident to seden- tary life, tobaceo is a medicine,” concluded ae ee ndence, R.

A‘tough old debtor ina town not far from | Grand Rapids entered a grocery the other day, and stood for a Jong time looking at an | exhibition of plug tobacco. The grocer felt | certain that the old man wanted trust, and | he determined to head him off. He there- | fore observed: - | “I have to. sell that tobacco for eash | down.” | “You do, eh?” | “Yes, sir. Tobacco iseash on the nail.” | “How’s sugar?’ “That’s cash.” Tea and coffee ‘ “Cash—all eash. Soap, molasses, candles, | os kerosene, butter, potatoes, flour, rice, hams, | starch—all spot cash.” The old man stood and looked over the | | long sigh, and replied: “Well, Mr. Waters, that don’t hit me worth a eent. IT want to get trusted for three dozen elothes pins!” - He Explained. From the Wall Street News. ‘ A stockholder in a Western narrow-gauge railroad made a call at Headquarters the | other day and remarked to the President: “TI notice the gross receipts for October show a decrease over September.” “Yes, sir.” “Can you explain the matter?” “Certainly, sir. In September we carried a family of seven persons from Dashville to Blacktown and the receipts were swellegl. During October we only got hold of a blind man, two carloads of lumber, and a dozen barrels of salt, and the receipts shrank.” ‘**And what is the outlook?” “Splendid, sir. So far this month we have more than paid for the wood and oil for the locomotive, and if we get a shipment of six hogs, as promised yesterday, I believe we can pay the conductor at least 5 per cent. of his back salary.” At present madder is cultivated in Hol- land only.

Keep in view these fundamental principles and apply them to your customer upon practical judginent of reading and understanding human nature, and they will be appreciated by three-fourths of the trade, and the salesman who adopts these princi- ples as a guide will be sought out and called for.

Suspicious *‘Hair Oil.” A youngster on Cass avenue had noticed a | tall black bottle on his father’s dressing table and asked him what it held. “That, my son, is hair oil,’’ answered his father, with a furtive and wandering look, “and it is not at all nice for little boys.” The youthful questioner took a smell of the contents and asked no more information on the subject. He kept up a good deal of thinking, however. Last Sunday the family entertained some friends at dinner, and there was plum pudding with brandy sauce. The small boy had found his opportunity. When he was helped to the pudding he sized it up with large eyes. “Pa,” he said, in a loud, shrill tone, as he} sniffed the sauce afar off, “the hair oil on this puddin’ smells awful good.” Scarcity of Real Beeswax. “Do you know where I ean get some bees- wax?” inquired: a wholesale druggist of a re- porter.

WHERE THE BLAME LIES. “Humiliating as the confession necessar- | | ily is,” said the cashier of a prominent local bank, “it is nevertheless a fact that the blame for the late lumber failures rests en- tirely in the banks. We have allowed irre- sponsible parties more credit than was con- sistent with either safety or good judgement, and as a cousequence have paid dearly for the whistle, and have been compelled to suf- fer losses more severe than have ever fallen to the banks here before.” MORE SHOW FOR LEGITIMATE BORROWERS. “Since the banks have been bitten so com- pletely by the insolvent lumbermen,” said a leading grocery jobber, ‘I have noticed that i they are a Jittle more inclined to favor the | jobbing houses and other safe lines of busi- ness. Hetetofore it has been almost impos- | sible for the latter to obtain temporary loans, ' but let a man hang out his shingle as a lum- . ber dealer, and the bankers have met him ‘ on their front steps and voluntered almost | unlimited credit. ‘Times have changed, | however.” | THE OPPENHEIM STOCK. , clothing business at Whitehall offered to re- | ceive bids for the entire stock last week, and | several outside clothing men were present to | take advantage of the occasion. The stock inventoried about $14,000. The Oppenheims bid $7,000 for it and the other bi ‘ drew, claiming that they could not raise The receiver of the Wim. Oppenheim ers with- O. A.
