THE WIZARD WINS. Jacob Schaefer Still the Champion Billiard Player of America. CHICAGO, May Schaefer is still the champion billiard player of America. Eugene Carter tried to wrest the crown and the silver championship cup from him at the Central Music Hail last night, but the Wizard had not lost any of his cunning. It took just thirty-eight innings to wind up the game.

The score then stood: Schafer, 800; Carter, 481. Carter, the man of nerve, was practically not in the race. Schaefer eclipsed him from the start and soon had about 400 buttons separating them. Carter made brilliant spurts, and his cushion carroms were the delight of billiard experts. In the twenty-fourth inning he struck his gait and played giltedged billiards.

Carroms followed masses and around-the-table shots, intricate draws, And when he finally miscued on a delicate masse he had 111 buttons to his credit for the inning. It was the highest run of the game and was just seven points ahead of the Wizard, who amassed 104 in the eleventh inning. In the thirty-fourth inning, after Carter had swelled his string to 432, Schaefer made A brilliant effort to excel Carter's high run, but he missed a cushion carrom. Schaefer's highest runs were 87, 88, 87 and 104. After the Wizard had passed the 500 notch he practically took a rest.

Carter had no chance at any time of winning. Fruits Injured by Frost. PENN YAN, N. May heavy frosts of Monday night, together with the heavy snowstorm of Tuesday night, have done no small amount of damage in the Lake Keuka fruit region. While grapes near the Inke hnve not been badly injured, those further AWAY have been badly frostbitten, which will greatly reduce the crop.

Patrick McGarry rendily identified the remains by the clothing and contents of the pockets. How he got into the river is a mystery, but. the absence of wounds on the body allays any suspicion of foul play. The dead man WAS a witness in the celebrated Dr. Cronin trial.

In every town where Savena is introduced the sale is larger than all other washing compounds, THEY CANNOT ENTER FREE. PHOTOGRAPHS IMPORTED FOR THE GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL.

The Treasury Department Holds that the Institution Does Not Encourage the Arts or Solences Principal Patterson Ready to Give Bonds. News has come from Washington that the Treasury Department has refused to admit, free of duty, a number of unmounted photographs imported for the use of the Girls' High School. These photographs were bought a year ago by a teacher who was traveling in Europe with money contributed by the pupils of the school. Under the operation of the old tariff laws a large number were allowed to enter the country free. A second package reached the country in JanuAry under the McKinley bill and were stopped at the New York Post Office for duty.

The photographs are of historical scenes and monuments, examples of architecture and of noted paintings. The first lot that reached the country have been mounted and are bung in the halls of the Nostrand avenge building. They are fine photographs and their educational effect is undoubted. When the package was detained for duty the teacher who bought the photographs wrote. under the date of January 23, to Postmaster Collius.

She received a reply that the unatter had been referred to Collector Erhardt. On January 26 a letter was received from Deputy Collector Stan wood, I which he quoted paragraph 759, act of October 1, 1800, that. Photographs imported in good faith for permanent exhibition at fixed place by any society or institution established for the encouragement of the arts or of science are exempt from duty." He then said: Girls' High School, being established for educational purposes and not for the purposes mentioned in the law quoted, is not entitled to exemption from duty on the photographs in question under said law, nor is there any other provision of law under which they can be declared free of duty." On January 28 Calvin Patterson, the Principal of the High School, wrote Mr. Stanwood that he was ready to give bonds that the pictures should not be sold but should be A permanent exhibition. In his reply Deputy Stanwood shifted his ground, alleging that the photographs were imported by the teacher individually, and though purchased and paid for by the funds of the pupils of the school, are not the property of or inported by the school." A few days later Mr.

Patterson reiterated the statement that the photographs were bought by the teacher for the school. Mr. Stanwood's reply was virtually the same Ag in his previous letter. Mr. Patterson then wrote 011 March 13, calling the whole matter to the especial attention of Collector Erhardt and inclosing copies of the correspondence.

To this Special Deputy J. J. Dauch replied that the photographs could not be ndmitted. Mr. Patterson then wrote to the Commissioner of Customs in Washington, stating the case, and on Monday received a reply, signed 0.

L. Spaulding, Assistant Secretary, which said: I have to inform you that the Girls' High School of Brooklyn is not, in the opinion of this department, 'an institution established for the encouragement of the arts or of science' within the meaning of the law." The importance of the matter is in the fact that it lina been the intention to largely increase the collection. As for the institution not being for the encouragement of the arts or of science," it may be mentioned that there is course of drawing extending through three years, and that Prof. Spice is at the head of 8 scientitic department that has an expensive laboratory with time apparatus. Prof.

Spice is at the head of the scientitic department in the Cooper Institute, where the course is practically the same. PERFORMING FOR CHARITY. A Three -act Farce Produced in All Souls' Chapel by Clever Amateurs. A good-sized audience assembled in All Souls' Chapel, on South Tenth street, near Bedford avenue, last night, when dramatic entertainment for the benefit of the Industrial School was given there. 'The programme presented was made up of a threeact farce with a few special features to fill in the waits between the acts.

The skit was entitled "Tula and was the work of Misa Grace L. Furniss. Its principal beauty lay in a bright, crisp dialogue, which now and then caused the auditors to burst forth in unrestrained laughter. The semblance of a plot which carries on the action telis of the efforts of A lofty English lord to mend his fallen fortunes by exchanging in marringe his title for the fortune of Miss Petrolin Seersucker, the pretty daughter of a wealthy American, and how his efforts were unavailing. There were seven characters in the play, not counting the camera, which played a most important part in the dramatic proceedings.

Miss Emily Dodd Jones as the Duchess was properly dignified and haughty, and carried herself through the entire play most creditably. Miss Lizzie J. Hall as Petrolia Seersucker won deserved applause for her artistic interpretation of the role, and Miss Lois S. Wright gave a charming representation of the sparkling American girl abroad. Many of her scenes with Dick Chetwyn (Jebn 'T.

Walsh), who, by the way, was perfectly at ense in the part. encored again and again. Hugo S. Wintner as Jack Ryder filled the role etficiently, and Messra. Benjamin W.

Marinas and William Raynor AS Lord Blazonberrie and Robinson respectively filled out a cast that WAS commendable in every wAy. One or two of the participants showed a slight nervousness and forgot their lines at times, but otherwise they acted ably. Messr8. J. Sorenson and W.

H. Rontley picked the mandolin and guitar in a most musical manner, And W. D. Crowell sang couple of solos with good effect. 'The affair netted a neat sum for the object for which it was given, and those who had the arrangementa in charge are entitled to unlimited praise.

EVIDENCES OF A CRIME.

The Body of a Murdered Man Found at Long Island City. Evidence of a murder was found in Long Island City this morning and the victim lies unidentified there in Conway's morgue. He is a young man abont 80 years old, of dark complexion and rather long dark brown hair. Officer Farrell found the body floating in the East River at the foot of Sixth street, Long Island City, yesterday afternoon. Dr.

MaCune made an autopsy and found that the man had undonbtedly been murdered. The stomach and lungs were free from water, and the heart and plenral cavity were full of blood, convincing proof that the man had not been drowned. Blue marks were found on his throat; both eyes were blackened and his head had bruises upon it. The doctor and Coroner Meiners are certain that the man was beaten and choked to death, then robbed and then thrown into the water and had floated to where he WAS found. Coroner Meiners gives it as his opinion that the body had been in the water about three or four days.

Of course the body may have flonted from New York, from whose dark miles of water front come many mysterious corpses, or the body may have floated up the river from Brooklyn; or have come from some vessel. It is impossible to conjecture. The man had been well dressed. When found the body had on a light weight overcoat of black diagonal and nuder that a light plaid suit with brown stripes, white merino undershict and drawers, red socks and laced shoes, white shirt turned over collar and white scarf with red dots upon it. The sole contents of the pockets were some keys, one of them a peculiar shaped one, apparently a night key, and a bunch of smaller steel keys.

Upon the face was a clipped dark maustache and about 8 three days' growth of beard. It is not thought that the man was in life a resident of Long Island City, and auless some one identities the body by to-morrow another unsolved murder mystery will be added to the already long list. Undertaker Conway says it will be impossible to keep the body beyond that time. Coroner Meiners is hard at work endeavoring to have the young man identitied, and the police have been THE TARIFE ISSUE. Congressman Quackenbush Thinks It WIll Give New York to the Republicans.

WASHINGTON, May cheapening of the price of sugar, the frilure to torce up the price of tinware and the general tendency towards lower prices in manufactured goods, which has been a feature of trade in the past six months, all tend to worry the Democrats and encourage the Republicans to hope that the losses of last fall will be more than retrieved in 1892. Congressman Quackenbush, of the Troy district, is in the city. Speaking of the outlook. he said: "I am willing to live and die by the McKinley Tariff bill." Mr. Qunckenbush is one of the few reelected Republican Congresamen, and for nearly six years has been a member of the State Committee.

He thinks that the Tariff bill has already worked wonders in developing the prosperity of the country, and is an enthusiastic prophet of the good effects which are yet to be felt in the future. The change in New York State since last fall is marvelous," he said. People are beginning to see that the Tariff bill has decreased the price of sugar, has started mannfactories of tin plate and of other articles, and has benefited the farmer. Consequently, I believe that when the election comes next fall a great number of Democrats will vote for protection. The tariff will certainly be the issne in the next campaign.

With MoKinley as the Republican nominee for Governor of Ohio, the tariff is certain to be the uppermost topic in that State this summer, and McKinley will win upon it." How About the campaign in New York State Our convention will be held in August, probably at Saratoga, although the place has not been definitely settled. I cannot tell who will be nominated for Governor. Quite a number of prominent Republicans have been mentioned, but the question has not yet been seriously considered. The Repablicans believe, however, that they can carry the State, and with this belief we shall nominate a strong ticket and then make a fight to win." MILITARY NOTES. -Col.

How They Helped Their Owner Evade a Jury Summons. Forest and Stream, Previous to making up country trips in South Africa I always laid in a supply of calico dresses and pound packages of tea to serve as presents for the wives of the Boers in the outlying districts. Tea is used by them voly iu cases of sickness and the donation of a calico dress is always met by an interchange of dairy and hen roost products. In one of my trips, while in the neighbornood of an old vrouw, finding that the larder needed replenishing, I jumped on my shooting pony and cantered over to her house, followed by my Kafir henchman, January," carrying basket containing the tea and dress. The noise of my pony's hoofs on the sun-baked earth caught the old lady's ears and she met me at the door with the exclamation: 'I'm so glad you have come!" Why?" Because I have a pair of young lions for you." Where are they Knocking about the house somewhere." I immediately dismounted, handed the reins to January, started indoors and finally brought no in the kitchen, where I tound the whelps asleep on the hearth.

On asking how they were captured she informed me that some two weeks previous her son had shot a lioness, and finding her in milk, hunted around until he picked up the youngsters. I immediately bargained for them with the understanding that they were to be given all the milk they would drink, not tensed, and kept until my return, some three months nhead. The ten and dress were then produced and January had to enlist the services of one, of the farm Kafirs to assist in carrying to the wagons the butter and eggs which were received in exchange. On my return I found they had been partially weaned, which was fortunate, as it would have been impossible to get fresh milk for them daily. Taking them in my arms I started toward my cart, which had been driven up in front of the house, for the purpose of throwing them on my bed; but the oxen bolted on catching scent of them, and it required deal of patieuce before they would allow them to be loaded.

On coming up with my train of wagons, loaded with antelope, gaus, the cart was prudently kept some diatance in the rear, for fear of a stampede of the teams, and it was fully a week before the oxen became thoroughly aocustomed to lion odor. The whelps would pAsS the time while traveling lolling about ob my bed, which I shared with them at night, but 80 soon as we stopped and the oxen were turned loose for grazing their heads would be thrust out from the front of the cart, waiting to be lifted out, so that they could have their customary game of romps with the dogs and myself. We had reached the more thickly settled portion of the country when one day, just as we were ontspanning, a couple of young Boers cantered up to the wagons, one of whom carried a fine chacma seated behind him. On disinounting the reins were handed to the baboon, who had seated himself just in front of the horses, and I started for the cart in search of the square gin flask, in order to pave the way to purchasing the baboon. On reaching it the heads of both whelps appeared, expecting to be lifted out, as was customary.

On catching sight of them the baboon gave a scream, the horses a snort of terror, and each one took a separate path across the veldt, followed by 8 pair of blaspheming Boers. I saved my gin, but lost the chance of buying a fine chacma and sulkily refused to join in the usnal frolic. The trip home WAS made without further incident and on arriving the youngsters were allowed the run of the honse; but at night they would persist in sharing my bed with me. After having been nearly smothered by trick which they had of lying across my face, I finally compromised matters by arranging a cot alongside my bed, with stout wire screen intervening. Of conrse the arrival of the young lions was 80011 noised about, and I did not lack company, especially on Sunday afternoons, when my establishment resembled a miniature zoological garden and the female whelp seemed to select just such occutions to play pranks on the bipeds of her own sex.

Her favorite ambush was under the table of the dining room, the door of which opened on the passageway, through the house. So long as males passed, or females escorted by males, she would remain quiet, but as sure as a single female, or A party of them, attempted to pass through, she would spring out nnd crouch just in front of them, invariably causing a hasty retrograde movement, accompanied by a series of screams. Once while in the renr giving some directions to the Kafirs, I was startled by piercing shriek, and turned just in time to see a frightened female dart out of the back door and come at racing speed toward me. In so doing she had to pass directly under a tree, in which was chained baboon. So soon as she was fairly under it, the brute dropped on to her shoulders, whisked off her bonnet and wrap, and was up on his perch again in a jiffy.

She dropped in a dead faint, and before I could dash some water into her face and bring her to her senses the bonnet and wrap were torn into shreds, ond on looking toward the house could 808 the head of the lioness lying over the doorsill, seemingly enjoying the mischief she had caused. On another occasion, hearing A series of suppressed screams in the house, I hurried in and found a trio of young ladies standing on the dining table, with their skirts pulled up to about the regulation ballet length, and tightly drawn about their limbs, while the lioness was crouched on the floor just in front of them, whisking her tail and acting precisely as if she intended to spring up and occupy a portion of their retreat. Picking her up I carried her into my bedroom, and on my return found that the young ladies had managed to get down without any assistance, and were hurrying out the front door without saying good-bye. Fearing that something serious might 00- cur if I allowed my pets their liberty any longer, I had a large cage constructed, and for the first week or two was forced to spend the greater portion of my time in it with them. 'The male did not worry so much, but the female fretted constantly, and the only way I had of quieting her was to go in and lie down, using the male for a pillow, while she would stretch herself alongside of me with her head resting on my chest.

A short time after confining them I found that they were shedding their milk teeth, a very painful operation with all cat animals. The female did not suffer so much, but the male's upper gums became so much swollen as to almost close his eyes, and I determined to lance them. Placing him squarely on his back, with my left hand I opened his jaws, and with a knife in my right quickly slashed one gum, springing aside immediately, ns expected a wipe from his front paws. Much to my surprise he never made the slightest attempt to injure me, but gave a grunt of reHief, rolled over on his side, and began sucking the blood from the wound. The other gam was served in a like manner with precisely same actions, and the next day I had the satisfaction of seeing the swelling much reduced, and in a short time it entirely disappeared.

No doubt many of my readers will suppose that my pets only served to get me into scrapes, but I have a very distinct recollection of one instance in which they to get me out of one. I. was hailed one day by the Sheriff, who informed me that he had a summons in his office for me to serve a8 a juryman. I tried to beg off, but he was inexorable and said that he had no discretion in the matter, so I told him that the first time he happened out in my neighborhood to drop in and serve the paper. A few days afterward he rode up to my gate and I called January open it for him, while I hurried out through the back door and made for the lions' onge.

But a short time elapsed before I heard him calling for me, and on my allswering he gradually found his way out to the den, in which I was seated on the recumbent body, while the female saf behind me with her chin resting on one of my 'TIS A PALATIAL BUILDING. A GLANCE THROUGH N. WECHSLER BROTHER'S NEW STORE. Every Department of the Immense Establishment Replete with Attractions for the Fair Shopper or Her Escort-Some of the Latest Styles Described. Quite the most interesting event of the week, not alone to womankind but to business community, has opening of Mesars.

8. Wechsler Brother's palatial new store, corner of Duffeld and Fulton streets. That the new store, with its great size and admirable system of lighting, presents rare opportunities for display was most convincingly demonstrated on opening day. On the main floor are to be found dress goods, most beautiful imported robes, among which a colombe gray cloth with an openwork border of gold embroidery, a serpent green, with border of darker velvet, the new blue, with foot hem of chamois cloth and embroidery, meet with universal admiration. On floor also are found the daintiest of embroidered handkerchiefs, gloves in all the newest and latest shapes and shades, passementeries glowing with jewels nud gleaming with gold and silver strands.

Here are cases of daintiest toilet table furnishings, the latest fancies in jewelry and leather goods, great mirror lined cabinets reflect vases of exquisite form and delicious coloring; in another direction the daintiest of flower strewn sateens are displayed; in another the careful housewife finds a stook of napery that is conspicuously full and well chosen. Here are also the most temptingly guuzy, hand-painted fans, an especially unique arranged case of umbrellas and any number of new and ingenious devices for the display of goods so as to facilitate matters for the buyer. The basement, with its myriad of electric lights, springing from opalescent lilies, its prismiatio flashes of color from the large and beautiful collection of cut glass, the reflection of Bohemian glass and fine crystal from the lined walls, is fairylike. The brio-a-brao department evinces the most careful good taste in selection, and Royal Worcester, Dresden and Sevres, as well as other pretty but less expensive wares, can be found to suit all tastes and purses. Here are to be found prettily decorated dinner and tea sets, the latest designs in odd dishes and everything the housewife needs to make the table or sidebonrd attractive.

A group of spectators absorbed in watching the terminus of the pneumatic tube cash system can always be seen. Ascending to the second floor one of the three luxuriously appointed elevators, the rendy-made costume, millinery, underwear and children's garments are found. Here are costumes for all occasions. A very handsome reception gOWn is of lavender faille, with a pretty festooned effect at the foot of the dress, the train of lavender brocade, with design of true lovers' knot, in black, and from the bodice in front fall two rows of long heavy black silk fringe, passementerie of black, which gives a corselet effoct on the bodice; the sleeves are threequarter length. The China silks on exhibition are particularly pretty; one that was much admired has 8 ground of creamy white, with old rose blossoms tossed here and there la jardiniere.

The skirt is made demi-train, is cut in odd-shaped points, disclosing a white silk petticoat with frills of pretty soft white Ince, over which fall knots of old rose velvet ribbon; a sottly draped gilet in front and a back with a tasteful garniture of white lace and old rose velvet ribbon contribute to make a very dainty toilet. A decidedly stylish gown for the women enamored of the not too masculine gown is of cadet blue cloth, with founeau skirt trimmed with two rows of gold bullion ribbon. It has a Louis XV. jacket trimmed with gold braid, which opens, disclosing a shirt waist of gold surah. A quietly elegant gown that had many admirers 18 of black net sprinkled with black silk disks, the Ince festooned over a black silk underskirt, the corsage dainty with lace and a hending of silk leaves.

A wrap of the same net, with a bodice effect of rich elaborate passementerie, has cape effect over the arms and a Medici collar is also to be seen. Examples in charming designs of the coming rage for grenadines are shown. A striking toilet of black silk grenadine, upon which are tossed tiny gold leaves with soft fans of black lace nt the foot of the skirt and a most artistically fashioned corsage, elicited exclamations of delight. A Louis XIV. coat of mazarin blue with garniture of goid galloon and vest of rich pompadour brocade merited the encomiumis bestowed upon it.

A handsome wrap was shown of white Bedford cloth, with basque back and loose front, with cape effect from the shoulders, not too lavishly embroidered with silver and gold. The street costumes are stylish and the stock is large and well chosen. A noticeably fine combinntion was a robe of pineapple brown cloth, with front of fine bins tucks and revers of a new green between reseda and serpent. With increased facilities nfforded by the new building, especial attention is being given to the dressmaking department, and under its present competent management it is destined to become most popular. Now that the season 18 advancing the more dressy hats are being shown: they are more fetching than ever.

A very demure little capote of chiffon of the softest, tenderest gray, has, A8 0 relief to its neutral shade, spikes of the gorgeous cardinal flower; a little skeleton flat of silver wire is shrouded with fine black lace and falling over the crown are the petals of large, pink-fringed chrysanthemum, from whose rosy neart springs A feathery black aigrette. A saucy littie toque is made of faint yellow chiffon and bine-eyed myosotia. A Frenchy little half large hat is of black lace straw, with softly twisted folds of pale blue chiffon, and around the crown, reaching to the front, are fringed with wheat ears, shading from An unobtrusive green to a maize; spikes of mignonette are nodding nt the back. An Oriental looking large hat is of black lace and velvet tulips of a glowing red. A coquettish little flat has a full triple plaited ruche of black lace all around the edge and at the back are nodding, fluttering sprays of salvia, and under its brim a few little fugitive sprays are caught and will nestle softly against somebody's dusky tresses.

The underwear department has An exquisite display of the latest fancies in silk and maslin 'underwear, and hero are to be found outfits pretty enough to grace the trousseaus of the most luxuriously disposed. The prettiest of garments for the little folks are displayed and here the most doting mother may gratify her desire to make little one's more irresistible than ever. On the third floors are found attractive hangings, fancy work, and an especially fine display of bronzes and porcelains from China and Japan, and the quaintest of dishes are here displayed. New Satsuma, Kaza, Owari, Tokio, in fact, all the old favorites and some new aspirants for favor, are shown. The furniture dopartments both on this and the floor above are most complete.

The new tables and escritoires in Louis Quinze and Chipperdale are very pretty, and the upholstered furniture is elegant. The prettiest of dressing tables are shown, and some especially pretty bedroom suite for misses' rooms are shown in bamboo, even to the long mirrors now deemed so necessary. This department merits a close inspection, it is so complete. shoulders. As soon n8 he saw me he sprang back and yelled out: For heaven's sake! Come out of Hand that summons in here and I will do so." "Do you want my arm torn off No, but I want you to make a legal service of that paper by handing it to "I shall not take any such risk, but I will tear it up if you will ouly come out and save me from seeing you torn to pieces." All right, do so, and I will try to get out alive." The paper was torn up and I stepped out of the cage, much to my friend's relief.

BROUGHT TO A CONCLUSION. The Bicknall Court-martial Over -The Result Anxiously Awaited. 'The Bickpall court-martial is at an end And now there will be a week of anxious waiting for the Lieutenant-Commander until he learns what his fate is to be. Yesterday was taken up in reading back testimony which was taken previously. Lawyer Stayton eaid hie felt quite confident that the result would be in favor of his client.

If it is not it 18 his intention to appeal the case to the Secretary of the Navy. The principal points upon which an appeal will be taken in case the result is unfavorable are two in number, Lawyer Stayton said, the first the refusal of the board to allow him to hold conversations with the witnesses before they were pat upon the stand, which hampered him very much in bringing out evidence which he wished, and the second was the continued reference by Judge-Advocate Lemley to a question which had been ruled out of order by the court. It was in relation to the heaving of the lead. Bicknall, acting under the advice of his counsel, did not answer the question. The Judge-Advocate in summing up twice expressed the opinion that if Bicknall had not been negligent in heaving the lead he would have answered.

The decision will probably be rendered within a week. OBITUARY. day. Ellen Jane Hayes. Isaac Sears Ogden.

An accident occurred on the Third avenue elevated road, New York, this morning at the Forty street station on the down track. It happened about 9 o'clock.

One train, filled with passengers, was Just leaving the station when another train, directly behind it, crashed into the rear car. The shock was so sudden that a number of pasBeugers were thrown down. The rear platform of the train in front was slightly damaged. It was considered unsafe and the passengers were hustled out and the car sidetracked. The accident is supposed to have resulted from the fact that the air brakes on the rear train would not work.

Traffic was delayed about fifteen minutes. BUILDING IN APRIL. Over Three Millions to be Added to the City's Values.

SHATTERED BY SCIENCE. All the Romance of Hog-killing Time Has Passed Away. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. An old-time hog killing is hard to find now.

Meat is bought too cheaply from the West. The prairie farms, where corn is burned n8 fuel, raise hogs too easily to allow Southern farms the luxury of killing and curing their own meat. You go to the packing houses of the West and drop a porker into the slot. In fifteen minutes he comes out clearribbed and sugar-cured lots -with a can of pure lard thrown in, and all the hoof, hide and tallow present and accounted for. The poetry and, plenty of the old plantations have given way to the steam packing mills with their millions of pounds a month.

Farmers used to make their hams from necessity, Now they put them np 88 8 luxury. It has gotten so that none but well -todo farmers can afford to raise their own ment. In those days of the steaming Gypsy pot, the hickory ashes, the fat pen and the crisp sward dyed in purple, we heard nothing of trichina or pork corners. The only meat futures were when the shote was marked in July for killing in December. Sometimes a mild winter robbed the farmer of his meat.

Occasionally his pigsty and smokehonse were raided between the suns; but there was grease and plenty in the hog killing on the plantation It was a fact that the Southern slave enjoyed as large a proportion of the products of his labor as any class of hired labor in the world, and statistics show that the slave was a larger consumer of animal food than Any class of laborers in Europe, and larger than any other laboring population in the United States. You rarely see that rare spectacle of roasted pig shipped upon the table entire, like the peafowl in all his glory on the tables in Florence. There was the mellow apple in his mouth, ought in his expiring effort, and there, preserved with culinary skill, is the ecstatic twist of his tail. Now the railroads and stenmships have brought about a division of labor. Your hogs are steamed in Chicago, your cows pastured in Michigan, your turkeys dressed in Vermont, your syrup boiled in Cuba, your ice cream frozen in New York, your cuffs washed in China, and your cotton by and by will be grown in India and Africa.

'Then there will be nothing left in this solid and sunny South but to cultivate melons in summer and infllionaires in winter and write about the good old times. B. G.
