Is the Best = Thousands of articlesare now manufactured that in former years had to be imported, paying high import duty as it is now being done on Lea & Perring table sauce ; the QUARKER TABLE SAUCE takes its place ; it has beén pronounced by competent judges just as good and even belter. The QUAKERR SAUCE has Slowly but purely’gained great importance and is replacing,the very best imported sauce on the shelf ‘of the grocer, tho tables of the restaurant and the tables of the rich and poor men, greatly prized and relished by all on -account of itr piquancy, aroma, taste, strength and pureness. The inventor has by years of study of the secret virtues contained in the aromatic spices of the Indies and China, such as mace, nutmeg, cinnamon, genuine Jamaica ginger and peppers and buds of trees dnknown to most men, and by long practice succeeded to combine their extracts in such a liquid form'as we now find it, of agreeable taste, and so invigorating as to be taken in place of stomach bitters. By manufacturing this sance here, heavy import duties and freights are saved, and it is sold at a lower figure to the dealer, Wwho making a better profit on Quaker Sauco can sell it to the consumer cheaper than the very best imported article hardly equaling ours. If{your grocer does. not keep it, write us for prices, etc. Sold in bottles or by the gallon. ' CHARM MANUFACTURING CO., - Sole Proprictors and Manufacturers, v 106 & 108 8. 2d BT, St. Louis, o,

President Lincoln’s Colanization Scheme, ¢ . [Bent Perley Poors.] 2 - President Lincoln bad a pet scheme during the war for establishing a colony of wcontrabands at the Chiriqui lagoon, with & new transit route across the isthmus to the harbor of Golfito, on the Pacific. The first company of emigrants, composed of freeborn megroes and liberated slaves, was organized under Presi: dent Lincoln’s personal supervision, by Senator Pomeroy, of Kdnsas, and would bave started, but the diplomatic representative of Costa Rica grotested. Negro settlers, he said, would be welcomed in the province of Chiriqui, but such a colony as it was proposed to establish would necessarily be under the protection of the United States, acd grave difficulties might ensue. Besides, such a colony would almost iuvite an attack from the Confederates, then quite powerful, who would seek their slaves, and who would regard a nezro colony Wwith especal aversion. =

Mr. Lincoln regretted ‘this fiasco, as negro colonization was *his. panacea for the cure of the national -troubles. He again and again declared that the continuance of the’ African race in the United Staies ‘could -but be injurious to both blacks and whites, and that the expatriation and colonization of the negro wasa political necessity. Thogg oho bad zealously opposged slavé‘:y:'ana” wii¢ had vogarded the war as securing the freedom of the negroes, combated the president’s scheme. They insisted that the blacks ‘had a right to remain in the land of their birth, and decl®red that expatriation, as a measure of political economy, would be fatal to the prosperity of the country. for it would drive away a large amount of produgtive labor. . In reply to the last argument the president’s friends said that if the slaves were emancipated the large landed estates of the south would all be broken up. Small Janded proprietors cultivated the soil with their own hands for their own benefit, confent with the nccessaries of life, which they could easily produce, and always having surplus crops to sell, would grad: ually occupy the large plantations hereto fore imperfectly cultivated by slaves. This reasoning was not only acceptable to all ‘who had that deep rooted antipathy to the negro peculiar to the northerr states, but those landless whites, wheo hoped thus to acquire homesteads and tc the manufactureis of New England, whc hoped thus to secure trade. - : f

Ways of Living iz Wishin: on. ; {Washinzton Cor. Boston Trave e ] Washington life in any form is costly. It was not so in the cld times. or even as late as the 'seventies, but at last the rich and fashionable visitors have done their perfect work in this city, as in Paris and in Newport. ~ One way to live in Washington, of course, is to go to a hotel, and ,th%s way i 8 not so very much costlier than others, after all. = Another way is to buy or rent a house outright. But by far the larger part of the visiting contingent seek. a suite of rooms, either furnished or unfurnished, as the case may be, with board. A suite of two or three rooms in any desirable location will cost a man and wife all the way frome $BO to $l5O a month. Very stylish apartments will run still higher. Board ranges from $2O to $5O or more a month for each individual. There is one other way of living peculfar to Washington, ‘which is extensively used, but which cannot be conscientiousiy recommended. This is to take a suite without board and have meals brought to one's room by a carterer. There are many of these carterers here, and they do their work as well as is possible in the nature of the case. They charge only about $25 a month apiece and furnish an abundance of good food as expeditiously as they can. But the inconveniences and drawbacks of the plan are obvious. The food has to be cooked at the carterer's headquarters and carried'in trams to his patron’s homes. Then the table hus to be set and the viands extracted from the vehicle and placed upon the dishes. By this time all the cooked articles have become cold and must be heated again over the fire or an alcohol lamp. All the courses are brought in at once, and while one is being eatén the next is cooling and ‘becoming spoiled. In fact, the whole meal is spoiled before it reaches the house. * ; :

The Treacherous-Congo Climate. [New Yorik Sun.] : ; ‘The climate is the most treacherous in Africa, and not one of the numerous whites who have visited the Congo has escaped its consequences. Nearly twothirds have died, and the survivors are suffering from fevers and cruel maladies. Even a short stay in the Congo country is under certain circumstances killing, and so far no remedies have been discovered to counteract the treacherous fevers. The sanitarium at Bomg is as much dreaded by the whites as the morgue, for those who enter it rarely leave it alive. The way along the Congo, from Vivito Stanley Pool and upwarg, is strewn with the bones of the victims of the deadly climate. The American diplomatic agent, Mr. Tisdel, on his way from Boma to Stanley Pool, lost five white companions, some of them dying after a few hours’ illness. He himself was ill for several months, and is still suffering from the effects of the climate.

The governor general, although living in -comparative opulence within near reach of the sea. in a good house, with little or no fatiguing work to do, with the stores of the association at his command, and medical aid at hand, has suffered siuce the day of his arrival. There are at this moment not. fifty able-bodied men at the dis osal of the association; the rest are on the sick list. There are only two or three doctors; and they are without a sufficient stock of medicine. The heat is so intense that the thermometer ranges from 85 to 105 degrees in the shade, while at Stanley Pool it rises still higber. -

¥ Subordinate to ths Star. : [Clara Belie's Letter.] . The jealousy of theatrical people on a question of this sort is astonishing to an outsider. If one actor has a scene—that is, if the liines ‘deserve prominence and the exigencies of the play require that he should be heard to advantage—he will allow nothing to interfere with his work. He must have the middle uf the stage, and the other actors must stand near the footlights, and place him so that he may look toward the audience while he addresses them, so that if one of them. raises a hand, makes a motion, or succeeds in the faintest degree in attracting the attention of the audience, there is a scene the instant the men are out of sight of the audience. It is usually a scenesof some vehemence, too, for an actor is very jealous of what he considers his rights in a matter of this sort. ! 3 i eel e it Humanity to a Conviet, .

- Forgetful to Entertain Strangers. {London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.] TLe shabby manner in which foreign princes other than ‘Teutons, who come here, are treated . has long been a manner of scandal. The nation pays for any number of palaces, several of which—notably Buckingham palage—are never used, ahd jyet when a distinguished foreign visitor' arives here itis ten to one that he is lodged in a hotel and has to pay his own bill. We- have here now a Japanese prince who rejoices in the name of Fouschimabrinz. This dignitary ranks next to the mikado himself, but scarcely any n'otice has been taken of him. He is a little fellow gbout 20 years of age and dresses in the conventional frock-coat and stovepipe hat of kurope. : . About two years ago. another diatin. guished . Jap, Prince Arissugawa, was here. He was seat to Claridge's hotel and left to pay his own bill. Oue day he went to Windsor to pay his respects to the queen. All he gotin the way of traveling accommodation was a reserved com‘partment in an ordinary ratlway car riage, and next day a representative of the Great Western Railway company called to remind the prince that he had not paid his fare. This is a fair example of the shabby manner in which foreigners of distinction are often treated in the wealthiest city of the world. ;

Thackerdy said to afriend: : : “I haven't seen in this country any man with the stamp of high social caste—such men as combine brains and blood in the British peerage. Have you no such men in America?” ; The Boston club man- replied that we had, and was going on to illustrate -the subject, when Thackeray's quick eye caught sight of two dignified and courtlylooking gentlemen walking arm-in-arm on the opposite sidewalk. ' “There, ” he said, “are the sort of men I mean.

LADY INSPECTORS.

THEIR ARDUOUS WORK OF DETECTING SMUGGLERS ABOARD SHIP.

Not an Hour tp Call Her Own—Tact and Delicacy Required in Searching Out Fraud —Out on the Water ' g | After Dark. : e [Celia Logan in New York- World.] Meeting a lady employed in the custom house, I asked her to give me an idea of her pay and duties, to which she consented. She said: “Itis generally supposed that the pay of a lady in the custom house is so large as'to enable her to retire wealthy in the course of a few years, but the truth is, we receive 2bout $l7 a week, upon which we must maintain ourselves and families. ‘Husbands? Oh, no, there are no husbands allowed us. - No married women could obtain a situation in the custom house, and a single woman would be dismissed if she were to marry while in the: service of the government. :We arc obliged to pay our own car fare, P’l' though when we are required very late at night or in very bad weg%e‘éga carriage is frequently, sent for-us. ~We are often on duty far away from home at meal times and on such occasions are compelled to patronize the restaurants, which makes qui}ﬁ/an item in our expenses. . “XVe are given a percentage upon any contraband goods seized by us. = What makes these government positions so much in demand is the absolute certainty of the pay and 'the almost equal certainty that the employment once obtained; will be permanent. There are eightonly of us lady inspectors in New York and among us we divide the work of inspecting every vessel arriving on this coast, so you may believe none of us are idle. i

. ° A DISAGREEABLE TASK. “It would be dangerous for a woman to go alone at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning to some of the docks we havé to go to,! therefore a man is always sent to take us 'to the vessel and accompany us home again if we do not go home Qefore daylight. The most irksome part of the duty of a lady inspector is that she has never an hiour that she may call her own. ¢he never dare make an-‘appointment to go out for over an hour or go fo a matinee, or even to church for fear thata dispatch may arrive in her absence telling her to be at such and such a dock to inspect a (named) vessel. In thirty-five minutes after receiving the telegram she' must be at the place indicated. -~

“We are rowed out to the vessels, .and as in winter the weather is cold and often stormy, the exposure’ is trying to the health, and a disagreeable task even to the most robust. Nevertheless, once a lady gets into a berth in the custom house—a. most difficult thing_to accomplish—she stays. There are no resignations and very rarely a death, so that it may be said that there are never any vacancies. “A woman must be a born detective to make a good inspector. She should know almost the first time she lays eyes upon 4 lady whether or not she has any smuggled goods in her possession. Then, when it comes to searching a woman, it requires a great deal of tact and delicacy to carry your point and yvet give no just cause for complaint. And firmness! dear me! Some of them beg so hard not to be entirely denuded that ‘it would melt a heart of stone. , ’

“What are usually secreted in a lady’s dress? Oh, diamonds and other precious stones. They conceal these everywhere —in the hair and in the paddings of the dress, in the seams of the clothing and in the shoes. They have shoes made as if for large bunions, whiclr they fill with precious stones. The Italians are natural born smugglers, and smuggle -coral chiefly. L

| SMUGGLING BY PROXY. 5 “First and ~second-cabin passengers smuggle by proxy, now more generally than in person. Steerage passengers are not required to. declare their goods, so that many people who want tosmuggle licht but valuable goods, like lace and diamonds, pay the passage over of a steerage passenger, on condition of him or her getting through certain .contraband articles. It is rather risky, because the trusted persons may walk off witli the goods, and the owner cannot recover them; or if he does, it is only to have them nabbed by the custon-house officers,: but there is less risk of detection in the steerage than in the cabin: “I remember an amusing incident: A gentleman returning from Europe brought back half a dozen valuable gold watches as presents. to his family. How to . escape paying duty on them tormented his mind until he was néaring his native land. Having ‘become well acquainted during the voyage with six gentlemen who had no watches, he asked each one to wear:.a watch until he got ashore. They all consented. Four of them brought the watches ashore unchallenged by the officers and returned them, but the otheér two vamoosed with the watches, leaving the gentleman to make the best of his Joss. Had he made any row or arrested the thieves he would have begrayed that he himself was frying to defraud the government. “Among the other accomplishments of a lady inspector must be a knowledge of languages, uniess she wishes to be. put to great inconvenience and considerable expense in feeing interpreters Immigrants arrive here from every place under: the’sun, A lady searcher has 'got to converse with them all. Among the steerage ﬁasse‘ngers a knowledge of the various patois of alanguage is asnecessary as of! the pure tongue itself. ” = | ' Ex-President #Hayes’ Gold Ring, { . [Exchange.] : A lady not long ago noticed the plain gold ring which ex-President Hayes always wears, and he said good-naturedly, observing the direction of her glance, though she had not lI;I)oken: “Yes, that ring has a histo‘?'. 18, Hag'es secured me with that. We were, bridesmaid and groomsmun together at a wedding, and when the cake was cut’' that ring was in my slice, and when I found it, of course %gave it to the bridesmaid, Miss Lugy ebb. When after a time she promised - to marry me, she gave me back the ring, and I have always worn it since. ” :

People have the idea that newspaper men are detectives 'to a greater or less extent, and that they have a sortof Free Masonry among themselves by which they make: public . 'men 'their prey, a'good deal as shadowers do pickpockets. & . There may be something in this, but: not very much. -It s alwhys taken for granted that when glcm{%ressm’an or‘leading politician comes to Washington, leaving business and pleasure to travel a thousand -miles ‘or more, there'm sontethitg tn the wind. “When he’ his. hotel here he is always given an o§>« portunity to say what he is here for.

In the routine of business it.is necessary- for him to consult® papers, and in order to obtain them he is obliged to use names and state fairly and squarely what he wants.

There may be some. other public man present who overhears and carelessiy reports, when he goes away from the office, what he has seen or heard. 2 Another thing that politicians scem to be unconscious of - is that they have often fully stated the nature of their errand to friends at home, and even before they are 100 miles away from their home towns dispatches are going over the wires to the Washington representatives of their local papers, stating fully what they are coming for, ‘Two or three times I have been able to surprise visiting politicians by telling them all about their business, simply from the fact that while on the train talking they were overheard: by men who, when they reached Washington, told their friends what they had heard.

SHIPPING FRUITS WITHOUT ‘DECAY. P;- % : Description of a New Refrigrator Car That Supplies a Dry, Even Tenperature. - [Sacramento Bee.] ; o " A number of Sacramentans recently had an op?ortunity of examining a new system of preserving fresh fruits and vegeta- - bles durin% the transit across the continent. The principles involved may be briefly explained- as follows: The researches of Tyndall and other scientists have demonstrated that the ,decaX of organic matter is due to bacteria, and that warmth and moisture are conditions peculiarly favorable to their development. For instance, the ordinary refrigerator car, with its quantities of ice, produces a: great deal of moisture, ‘and ‘in order to counteract its effects the temperature must be kept down about freezing point. The regular fruit car is but .a shell, allowindg ventilation and . giving access to outside air, and it is the sad experience of shippers that one very hot: day in transit will often ruin the greater part of a shipment. The new car referred to pr_olgosesto do away with both objections. y allowing no access whatever to.outside air, preserving auniform temperature throughout the car and a free circulation of very ,dr%hcqld_air. St ' e car itself is an ordinary insulater refrigerator car, which is closed at the beginning of the trip and not opened until the perishable goods reach their destination. The car weighs 28,000 pounds, some ‘B,OOO pounds more than the shell fruit car, but considerably less than the ordinary refrigerator car with its load of - ice. In oneend of it is the machinery for regulating the temperature, occupying just four feet, so that in available space, too, it has an advantage over the refrigerator car. A long pipe punctured with - many holes runs along the car at the top, and back into the machinery end where a _ small fan supplies suction to draw the air from the car into the pipe and it is then carried down, ' passed among pipes confaining the cooling fluid and thrown in upon the fruits ‘and meats again. All moisture clings to the cooling pipes and the air circulating is kept cool and dry. The cooling liquid is made of aléohol and muriatic acid, and is known as chloride of ethyl. It is a neutral fluid, pos-« sessing neither the corrosive quslities of the acid nor the imflammability of alcohol. This chloride of eth{l in passing. through the labyrinth of pipes is vaporized and allowed to condense again, thus producing the degree of cold required. The power is taken from the axle of the car, and several ingenious devices are resorted to, to counteract the pullin%and. jumping’ of the car, and again to obtain the exact degree of power required, no matter at what speed the car-moves. This particular car brought through a lot of meats from Chicago in excellent condition, and where ordinary refrigerators were compelled to keep the tem?enture at'3o degrees lest the meat should spoil, under this system it is. kept for four or six days at 45 degrees and comes through in better shape, while the woodwork of the car remains as dry as a chip. Itis claimed that .this system will revolutionize fruit shipments, as it will land fruits in Chicago and New York without decay and almost_in the condition in which they leave here. ;

How Tracks Are Guarded ‘in Rassia [German Railroad Progress.].! . ; The track from Charkoy to Nikolajev is patroled before each train by a watchman of each section, who carries forward a number found by him at the beginnin of his section and left on a hook p! ovideg for it at the end, even numbers being car- - ried in one direction and odd numbers in = the other. The numbers, which are painted on metal plates, are hung in view of the trains, so that officials passing can readily see them, and by means of a small table of the positions of the number on any day or hour can see whether the watchmencare doing their work: A hook without-a number indicatés the negligence - of a watchman, who can be readily identified, . since every watchman is r¢%uifed to give notice when. he does notfind a number at the 'beginnh:lgé of his section, andinust do 80 to-aveid having the care-. lessness ascribed to him.

Concerning Ozmionunirlo Paper. [Scientiflc Journal.] { Some time ago it was- stated that an ozonometric paper could be used with effect in determining the presence #of certain diseases in the atmosphere. MM. Bornis and Daniel, however, from observations conducted on the Senegal during five years, conclude that there is no relation between the indications of this'paper and the intensity of bilious and yellow fevers. The simple fact is that the reaction on the paper is slight when the air is dry, and intense when the air is moist.
