Our “ Ti'eatise on Compound Oxygen." con¬ 
taining a history of the discovery and mode 
of action of this remarkable curative agent, 
Saturday. Jan. 12, 1884. 
There were 030,000,000 menhaden taken in the 
waters about New York and in Long Island 
Sound la.st season. But they were so poor 
that the oil secured from them was only 
1,300,000 gallon*, against nearly 3,060 000 gal¬ 
lons from 350,000.000 fish taken in 1882. The 
yield of ‘• guano” was proportionately less 
also: but not to the same extent.It is 
reported that Thomas Nast will bring a suit 
againt the Harpers, He now receives 810,000 
a year on condition that he will draw a car¬ 
toon for them every week and work for no 
other periodical. His work is pigeon-holed, 
and he holds that its non-publication is a 
great injury to him...Senator Farmer 
of Michigan is a lover of art, and ho lately 
gave $10,000 to the city of Detroit to found 
an art gallary.The depression in the 
iron business throughout the country is un¬ 
usually great, and this must affect other in¬ 
dustries more or less severely. The shrinkage 
in prices of No. 1 anthracite pig iron is put 
at $4 a ton; steel rails, $5 a ton; bar iron, i 
form-tenths of a cent per pound, and uails $1 
a keg. It is thought prices cannot go lower: 
for owners of furnaces, rolliug-mills and steel 
works on every hand are putting out fires and 
stopping the works.The New \ork 
Commercial Bulletin of Saturday published a 
summary of the fire record during 1S83. The 
aggregate fire loss of the year was $103,000,000. 
There were 100 fires where the loss exceeded 
$100,000. The December fire record shows an 
aggregate loss of 811,000.000. The fire loss of 
1883 was the heaviest, excepting 1871 and 1872, 
the years of the Chicago and Boston fires re¬ 
spectively.How there are 814 cotton 
mills South, having 1,270,422 spindles and 
24,873 looms, while in 1880 there were only 
180 mills, with 713.589 spindles and 1,522 looms. 
In 1880 the value of manufactured cotton was 
a little over $21,000,000, In 1883 it had risen 
to $35,000,000 or $40.000.000.At San 
Francisco a meeting has been held to make 
arrangements for holding a World’s Fair in 
that city in 1887. It was resolved to provide 
a guarantee fund of $1,000,000 The meeting 
represented $300,000,000.It is said that 
it costa $38 a ton to make steel rails, yet they 
sold on Monday at. $30.Last Saturday 
night a terrible fire at Belleville, Ill., de¬ 
stroyed the Convent of the Immaculate Con¬ 
ception, a famous school for young ladies, and 
burnt to death 27 of the inmates—22 pnpils 
and five sisters.” The temperature at the 
time was several degrees below zero. The 
building and furnishings were valued at from 
$65,000 to 875,000; insurance, $25,000. 
........Gen. Grant is slowly recovering from 
the effects of his fall; but is still unable to 
travel even on crutches.Pneumonia has 
laid its unwholesome grasp upon the Hon. 
Frank James, the pet cut-throat of Missouri. 
He is reported to be on his death-bed. 
President Arthur is said to he in miserable 
health, showing the wear and tear of office 
very decidedly.The Post-office Depart¬

ployes of the Post-office Department at VY asfc- 
ington have been notified by the Postmaster 
General that the purchase of lottery tickets 
would hereafter be regarded as sufficient 
ground for removal.The coinage in tne 
various mints in the calendar year 1838 was 
$60,092,749. of which $28,470,039 were standard 
dollars ... Gen. Hancock arrived at Galveston, 
Texas, on Wednesday, and was received at 
the military headquarters with a salute ot 
fifteen guns. He was the guest of General 
Vincent.New Orleans rejoices over its 
superiority as the chief cotton port, illustrated 
as it is by the figures of 18*3 in a striking 
way All the others have fallen off; Galves¬ 
ton is 33,484 hales behind the year preceding. 
Charleston 69,071 behind, and Savannah 
33,479 behind; but New Orleans proudly 
points to an increase—and an increase, too, 
of 223,052 bales. Its net receipts represent, 
30 2 per cent, of all the cotton received at 
Southern ports, the largest percentage since 
1871 .The message of Gov Foster of 
Ohio shows that, under the operation of the 
Bcott, liquor law the State has already re¬ 
ceived $1,500,000 in saloon taxes, and that the 
traffic is better regulated than it was under 
any former legislation.Several bills

famous ‘ Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas.” 
thinks that prosperity has really come with 
the Northern Pacific Railroad. It spent over 
81,500.000 in buildings and public improve¬ 
ments last year, and has hopes and plaus un¬ 
bounded. The Montreal Corn Exchange, 
in its annual report, advocates the abolition 
of canal tolls and strongly recommends, in 
the interests of farmers, flour millers, the 
gram trade, and the public generally, the ab¬ 
olition of all taxes on breadstuff's, untram- 
meled interchange of national productions 
between Canada and the United States, and 
the abolition of all imposts and burdens upon 
shippiug b.v the St. Lawrence route. 
There are now in circulation $55,000,000 iu

to redeem thorn iu coin and cancel them, the 
object being to push the vast amount of silver 
coin in the Treasury into circulation- ..... 
More than d dozen bills advocate the equiliza- 
t.ion of bounties to soldiers. The minimum 
cost, estimated by the Paymaster-General,

run up to IJfiS,000,000.Another scheme 
seeks to remove all limits upon granting 
arrears of pensions* A tettmittg Treasury 
offers great, inducements for all sorts of ex-

The action of Compound Oxygen in arrest¬ 
ing the progress of Consumption and holding 
the disease in cheek has been very marked 
under our Treatment. The following is one 
of many cases: 
“Wentworth, N. S., July 28th, 1882. 
Drs. Starkey & Palen. Dear Sirs:— l 
have been using Compound Oxygen about 
eleven months with good results. Other reme¬ 
dies had failed; physicians gave me no en- 
couragesrumt , and seeing your advertisement 
I resolved to try it. but only as an experiment. 
When I had used it a few weeks a decided im¬ 
provement was apparent. A igh-t sweats, i .oniif- 
ing after meals . raising of blood and other 
threatening symptoms were soon brought u nder 
control. Mu digestion improved; my uppnt < te 
became good . indeed, my whole system seemed 
to undergo a change for the better during the 
first three weeks. During the time thul has 
intervened the above-named symptoms have 
been held iu check. Tam much better at the 
present tenting than I was a year ago. It is 
nith feelings of gratitude that l acknowledge 
the gn at and unexpected benefit derived from 
you r Treatment. 1 am not well, 1 do not ex¬ 
pect to get well, as one of my luugs is con¬ 
siderably broken. But your Treatment, by 
Saturday, Jan. 12, 1884. 
Over 250,000 bushels of wheat graded ao 
No. 2 Red. and now stored in Brooklyn w are¬ 
houses, have been posted as unsound. There

Twenty-five Per Cent. Stronger than 
any Other Butter Color. 
Burlington, Vt., May 3d, 1882. 
I hereby certify that I have examined the 
Butter Color prepared by Wells, Richardson 
& Co., and that the same is free from alkali or 
any other substance injurious to health; that 
I have compared it with some of the best of 
the other Butter Colors in the market and 
find it to be more than twenty-five per cent, 
stronger iti color than the best of the others. 
1 am satisfied that it is not liable to become 
rancid, or in any way to injure the butter. 1 
have examined it after two months tree ex¬ 
posure to the air in a place liable to large 
changes of temperature, and fonnd no trace 
of rancidity, while other kinds similarly ex¬ 
posed became rancid. A. H. Babin,
