OCTOBIR.

Tlieru comes a month in the weary year—A month of leisure and healthful rest;

When the ripe leaves fall, and the an1 is clear:October: the brown, the crisp, thu blest.

My life hns litile enough of bliss :I drag the days of the odd eleven,

Counting the time that shall lead to this—The month thai O] ens the hunter's heaven.

And oh ! for 1he mornings crisp and white,With the sweep ot the hounds upon the track;

The bark-roofed cabin, the oamp-flre's light,The break oi the deer and the rifle's crack.

l)o you call this triflingf I tell you, friend,A life in the forest is past all praise,

Give me a dozen such months on end—You may take my balance of years and day :.

For brick and mortar breed filth and crime,And a pulse of evil that throbs and beats ;

And men grow withered berore their prime' With the curse paved in on the lanes and

streets ;

And lungs aro choked, and shoulders are bowedIn tiie smothering reek mill and mine;

And death stalks in on the struggling crowd,But he shuns the shadow of oak and pine.

And of all to which the memory clings,There is naught so sweet as the sunny spots

Where our shanties stood by the crystal springs,The vanished hounds, and the lucky shots.

How many joys I owe thee !Come sit where seas run high,

And count the heaving billowsThat break on the shore and die—

Or the grains of saud they fondleWhen the storms are overblown,

Or the pearls in the deep sea caverns,Or the stars in the milky zone,

And I'll count the joys I owe thee,My beautiful, my own!

And how much love I proffer!Come scoop the ocean dry,

Or weigh in the tiny balanceThe star ships of the sky;

Or twine around thy fingers .The sunlight breasting wide,

Or fold it to thy bosomWhile the world is dark heside,

And I'll tell how much I love thee,My beautiful, my pride '

Orderbeing at length restored, our cherootslighted and our iced brandy-pawneemade ready, the performance re com-mences. The corps dr. ballet are not hiredfor the occasion, but form part of thoestablishment of our friend the bambooOne of the girls seated near the musi-cians advances slowly, in time with themusic, to within a few feet of one of oursofas, and she is followed by another,who places herself opposite the other sofa.Others in the same way prepare to dancebefore other guests.They all stand for amoment in a languid and graceful atti-tude, the music strikes up a fresh air,mid each nautch-girl assumes the firstposition of her dance. She stands withoutstretched arm and hand, quiveringthem, and allowing her body very slight-ly to partake of the same movement.Iler feet mark the time of the music, notby being raised, but by merely pressingthe floor with the toes. The action andmovement thus seems to run like a wavethrough the body, greatest where it be-gins in the hand and gradually dimin-ishing as it dies away in the foot. Witha change of time in the accompanimentthe girl drops her arm, advances a stepor two riearer the person before whomshe is dancing, and loans back, support-ing her whole weight on one foot, withthe other put forward and pressingagainst the fl<#>r the border of her dra-pery.

Iu her hands she holds a little scarf,which serves to give a motive to the ac-tion ot the arms and head. The move-ment in this figure, which edmits ofgreat variety, no two performers beingalike at all in it, is somewhat strongerthan in the first. The undulation, too,

j instead of dying away gradually from\ the commencement, runs with.equal force,

like the line of an 8, through the body.! Without any pause in the music the! duncer sometimes glides imperceptiblyi inti), sometimes begins with startlingi suddenness, the next movement. Thej general position remains what it was be-i fore, but to describe how its principle of| life and motion seems concentrated be-low the dancer's waist, and from thenceflows in undulating streams, to flashfrom or to dull, according to her organi-zation, the eyes, and to crisp the child-like feet with which she grasps the car-pet, is for me impossible.

past, but one sees hardly more ot;hein than their lamps. The river glides,old and shining, a long-, silvery light

under the opposite bank, while trees andmasts and rigging relieve themselves.igainst the golden bars of the distant)iky. But the band ceases to play, andand every one goes home to dress.

It' the traveler choose?, he may findmany an amusing drive iu the nativeparts of the town Tail Sikhs, whosehair and beards have nevei known scis-ors or razor, and who strjde along with

a swagger and high-caste dignity ; effem-uate Cingalese ; Hindoo cierks, smirk-ng, conceited and dandified too, accord-ug to their own notions; almost naked

palkee-bearers, who nevertheless, if theres the slightest shower, put up an um

brella to protect their shaven crowns;ap country girls with rings in their nosesnd rings on their toes ; little Bengalee

beauties; Parsees, Chinese, Greek, Jewsand Americans, in every variety of cos-tume, are to be seen bargaining on thequays, chaffering in the bazaars, loadingand unloading the ships, trotting alongunder their water-skins, driving theirbullock carts, smoking their hookahs orsquatting in the shade.

We have had the good fortune, thanksto our interest in native manners andsttstoms, to make the acquaintance of aHindoo merchant, a millionaire and abon vivant, on whom his religion sitssomewhat lightly. We might if we hadnot been othei wise engaged, have dinedwith him this evening. He would havebeen delighted to receive us, and wouldhave treated us with abundant hospital-ity and kindness. The dinner wouldhave been of a composite character, partly European, partly native. A sort ofrissole of chicken would certainly havebeen one of the dishes, aud with equalcertainty would have met with your approval; the curry, too, would have sat>sfied you, even if you had just come fromMadras or.Singapore. There would havebeen knives and forks for us ; our con-vives would not have made much use ofthe latter, and some of the dishes onwhich they would have exercised theirfingers would hardly have tempted us.The champagne and claret are excellent,and our host, Hindoo as he is, is notsparing in his libations; and at the sametime he and his countrymen would havebeen vociferous in pressing us to eat anddrink, filling our glasses the moment theywere empty, and heapiug our plates withthe choicest morsels.

After all, however, perhaps we havehad no great loss in missing the dirftierWe shall enj< y the pleasant drive, andby being a little late shall escape the notvery delightfu. sound of various stringedinstruments be'ng tuned. Arrived, w•eave our horse and buggy to the care ofsome most cut-throat-looking individualswho crowd round with much noise andgesticulation, wondering who and whatwe are, while the noise brings out a. sortof majordomo, who recognizes us asfriends of the master, and soon clears iway tor us across the CDurtyaid, takes uup a flight of steps, and ushers us intolung and toler.bly well-lighted roomOur host conies forward with outstretched hands, and with great Co diality welcomes and presents us to his friends. Wecan't understand all he says, for hiEnglish at the best is not always intelligible, and he is now particularly talkative and jolly ; it is evident he has dinedThere is a great noise; every one is talking and laughing; and the talking iloud, for it has to overcome the soundmade by sundry musicians seated at thother end of the room, who are strikingtheir tomtoms and singing a most dolet'uchant. The bamboo bustles about, anmakes vacant for us two sofas, the placesof honor. Little marble tables are before them, on which are placed wine,brandy and soda water. The other guestsresume their seats along the two sides ofthe room on our right and left. Thereare eight or ten men and two or threeladies; the ladies very handsomelydressed. Lower down are several younggirls in light drapery, laughing, talking,and smoking their hookahs. The fair

some of the conductors uponsection of their road were in

the habit of rendering inaccurate returnsof their receipts from " way-papsengers;"anol us tney were unable to fix the defal-cation upon the particular individuals,Pinkerton, the famous Chicago detective,was employed to investigate the matter,and teat the accuracy of their suspicions.

Fur the execution of this delicate ser-vice he selected a sufficient number of hisiest men to furnish four men for everyar in a train, one to be seated at eachoov and two in the center of the car, theatter facing to the front and rear, so as

see every person who went in or out.These men were directed not to recognizeach other, but to pay their fares, and•therwise deport themselves like ordinaryravelers. Each one was provided with

and paper, and instructed to keepn accurate record of every person thatntered or left the cars, noting the sta-ions to and from which they traveled,to., so that if at the end of the trip theirotes were in accord, it would be goodvidence of accuracy.

Tn this manner the ITajor was enabled,n the course of a few days, to make aetailed report which showed oonclusive-y that neaily every conductor upon theection of road under surveillance had

nilty of swindling. He also ascer-ained that one of these delinquents>wned property to a large amount inr'liiladelphia.

A dialogue then ensued, wherein theonductor confessed that he had laid upiver $40,000 on a salary which of itselfwould not amount to a seventh part ofhat sum. He then turned on the Vice-

President, aud made him confess a siini-iir crime in stealing half a million dol-ars in about ten years.

" That is all very well," replied the im-perturbable Vice President, "but you seem:o have forgotten that there is a slight

difference between your status and mineupon the liailroad, in that you areresponsible to me for stealing the com-pany's money, whereas I am notaccount-blo to you for my transactions. In

vie%v of this fact it now becomes myduty to inform you that your servicesare no longer required upon our road.

The facetious conductor probably an-ticipated this result, and with his char-acteristic coolness remarked : " In thatevent, sir, it may at some future time be-come necessary for me to seek employ-ment upon another road. Would it beasking too much for you to give me aletter setting forth your estimate of myability to perform the duties of conduc-tor y

If you desire it, I certainly have noolijections to giving you a testimonial tothe effect that I look upon you as themost unscrupulous and unblushing knavethat has ever disgraced the catalogue ofour employes, and that any companyhaving anything to do with you will bemorally certain to be robbed."—Harper'sMagazine.

V Uood Hit.A friend, says a contemporary, criti

cises the habit of Jadies stopping inchurch aisles to gossip after service, andon tuis subject relates a personal grievmice. On Sunday his wife stopped tochat with a friend in the broad aisle o:tke church, and, both being attired inmodern costume, obstructed the passageof all who came after them. But thladies were immersed in the subject o:their discussion, and were therefore utterly unconscious of the blockade. Oufriend finally left in disgust, drove hicarriage to the door and passed some fif-teen or twenty minutes in waiting, fret-ting, and—soforth, before his wife appearecl. The ride home was enjoyed inI In; most delectable silence, but at dinner the long pent wrath burst forth.

" Nothing reminds me so much of Balaam and his ass," exclaimed the iratold gentleman, " as two women stoppingin church to indulge in their everlastingtall*> stopping the way for those whowish to get out, and making themselvesthe subject of criticism."

"But you forget, my dear," replied hiswife, maekly, " I t was the angel thatstopped the way, and the ass spoke after-ward."

Then there wag more silence.

Moderate Prices.It seems to be admitted, on all sides,

that the past season was not a prosperousone for the summer hotels. Various rea-sons are assigned for the fact—amongothers, that multitudes of those whousually frequent them went to Europe inthe spring. Still, if this be true, thequestion remains undecided whetherthey did not go to Europe in order to getmore pleasure and profit out of the sameamount of money that they would beobliged to spend here,—nay, whetherthey did not go to save money. Indeed,we are inclined to think that the lack ofpatronage at the hotels, and the enorm-ous deportation of our wealthy popula-tion, are both owing to the high pricesdemanded at our watering places forgenteel fare and accommodation. If aman can have tho benefit of a sea-voy-age and a delightful summer in Switzer-land, for what it would cost him to makea tour of our principal watering-places,he will be very apt to pack his trunks forthe foreign trip; and we must honor hisgood taste and good judgment in thematter.

While the mammoth hotels and thehigh-priced places have mourned overtheir slender patronage, the second-classhouses have very generally been full.At Saratoga, tho small hotels and board-ing-houses have had guests in plenty.The boarding-houses and farm-houses inall directions about the country have hadan abundance of summer visitors. Thetruth is, we suppose, that business hasnot been good, money has been scarce,and the people have studied economy.The expensive hotels can only be sup-ported during periods of easy and largemoney-making, and the moment therecomes a pinch, they feel it. They arekeyed too high, even for the averageAmerican high life. They never maketoo much money in the best seasons;and when the bad seasons come, theyeither make none at all, or lose. Who itis that goes on building from year toyear these expensive establishments, wedo not ku*w, for nearly everybody whomeddles with them loses by them. Theycost immense sums, they burn up, or theyfail to pay rent and dividends.

The permanent hotels of the greatcities are built and furnished at the costof millions, in which families pay from fivethousand to ten thousand dollars a yearfor board. We may say here that muchif the economy practiced in the summers owing to the absolute impossibility ofiving at a reasonable price in the winter.iVhether one live at a hotel or buy orent a house, it matters not. The rea-on why the great hotels are prosperousn the city is because a family can liv«heaper in them than at housekeeping,f we seek for the reason of this, we fiud;hat only certain localities and only aertain grade of building and furniturere considered respectable. Respectableife—genteel life—is all on au expensiveicale. A man with an income of lessban ten thousand dollars a year cannotupport his family and entertain hisrieuds in a style that would be con-idered genteel—much less, generous.

Our whole American life is keyed toohigh. If a man go into business, he willjot be content with either a moderateusiness or moderate profits. Every-hing must be on a large scale—business,iving, hospitality—everything. Tho

hotels are like the rest, and their pro-rietors expect to make fortunes in ten

rears, and many of them do it. Thereeally seems to be no respectable placeor a respectable family of moderateneans. The low-priced hotels are notgenteel; the low-priced houses are eitherunfit to be lived in or are in mean locali-ies; and thus the great need of the time—respectable homes for respectable menf moderate incomes—is unprovided for.f the Saratoga hotels should reduceheir prices to $2.50 or $3.00 per day, and

give their guests plaiu, wholsome fare,minus the splendor and the music, theywould make money. If a nice three-dol-'ar hotel could be established in a re-ipectable quarter of New York, it woulde crowded from year's end to year's end,

Mid give a remunerative income to allonnected with it. If plain, comfortable

louses could be built in districts nowunoccupied, for which their owners werewilling to take a fair rent, people wouldnot be driven by thousands, as they are"ow, either into hotels or iuto the subur-ban towns. We have now in New York>uly the rich and the poor. The middleilass, who cannot live among the rich,nid will not live among the poor, andake the risk of living among thericious, as all do here who live amonghe poor, go out of the city to find their

Homes. So the words "To Let" stareupon us from the windows of a multitudeof houses, which many would take at a'air rent, but which nobody can afford totiire. Beal estate is very high, and con-sidering the scarcity of money, wonder-fully firm ; but a change will come soon-er or later. Our greatest fear is that i tcan only come through a great commer-cial disaster, involving the overthrow ofall existing prices, and another begin-ning at the bottom of the ladder.—Dr. J.Q. Holland, Hcrihner's for October.

Savings of Old AgeN o one denies that it is wise to make

provision for old age, but we are not atall agreed as to the kind of provision itis best to lay in. Certainly we shallwant a little money, for a destitute oldman is, indeed, a sorry sight; yes, savemoney by all means. But an old manneeds just that particular kind of strengthwhich young men are apt to waste.Many a foolish young fellow will throwaway on a holiday a certain amount ofeuergy which he will never feel the wantof until he is seventy, and then howrmuch he will want it! It is curious, buttrue, that a bottle of champagne a'twenty will intensify the rheumatism atthreescore. It is a fact that overtaskingthe eyes at fourteen may necessitate theaid of spectacles at forty, instead of sixty

We advise our young readers to b<saving of health for their old age, for thimaxim holds good in regard to health a:to money—" Waste not, want not." It ithe greatest mistake to suppose that violation of the laws of health can escapiits penalty. Nature forgives no sin, noerror ; she lets off the offender for fift;years sometimes, but she catches him alast, and inflicts the punishment jusiwhen, just where, and just how he feelit most. Save up for old age, but saviknowledge ; save vhe recollection of goodand noble deeds, innocent pleasures, an"pure thoughts; save friends, save loveSave rich stores of that kind of wealthwhich time can not diminish, nor deathtake away.

aris—In .the Galleries of the Louvre.

PARIS, May 25, 1873.RIEND POND:We have not been idle in this great

ity, for to accomplish anything onemust keep stirring. It is not an easyhing to see the various points of interestithout both considerable effort as well8 labor, so great are the distances to bevercome in a city whose limits reach theorizon, apparently, on every side.

Vmong tho great sights every one con-des the first place to the collections at

he Louvre, and it is a great satisfactiono say that it is one of the most accessible,«ing not only central in the city butntirely free to the public daily, from 10o 5 o'clock, without the formality of per-

mits or even the annoyance of gratuities,•esembling in this the equally oelebratedalleries of Florence, and very unlike thereat Vatican collections. Entering the

ipacioua court we make our way to theepartment of sculpture upon the groundoor. A mere statement of the generalontents of these numerous and well filledooms will explain both their great extentnd the reason why no enumeration can>e attempted.About twenty rooms are occupied by

he ancient sculptures, and though con-;aining many excellent works there isomething wanting in the arrangement

which renders it less satisfactory thanny part of the Vatican. Among them,owever, is that most celebrated as wells wonderfully beautiful statue, theenus of Milo, found in 1820 in theland of Melos, and regarded very justlya the gem of the collection. Thoughhe arms are wanting there is such a

matchless beauty in the face and figurehat no restoration would be likely tomprove it. The Diana of Versailles,

with the dog apparently seeking her pro-;ection, is nearly as well known andieautiful, but in different style. Theorghese Gladiator is a striking work of

3reek art, as notable for its wonderfultxpressioti of masterly action as the)ying Gladiator of the Capitol is for itsxpiring energy. The placing of statuesupposed by savans to be portraits of thelame " old liomau" side by side affords a;ood opportunity to observe how difficultthe task of identification in such cases.

n the five or six rooms dovoted to mod-rn sculptures, a period is embracedeaohing baok to the beginning of the7th century, containing some very fine

works. An equal number of rooms de-oted to sculptures of the Renaissance>eriod of Art has the celebrated Dianahasseresse, a half-reclining female fig-re, said to be a portrait statue of theavorite of Henry II., Diana of Poitiers as,s she is generally called, who had nooteworthy modesty to prevent the neoes-ary sittings for this work by JeanJoujon. The two prisoners, one nearlynished and inuoh commended by critics,he other quite incomplete, by Michaei\.ngelo, are supposed to have been intended;o form part of the monument of JuliusI., for which the Moses was originallyesigned. It is singular that we are con-itantly meeting with the unfinishedworks of this great artist, quite as manyis of his completed productions, whilere scarcely find in the galleries the im-lerfect soulptures of any other hand.\. very large relief in Bronze by the fa-nous Benvenuto Cellini, once forminghe arch of a wide doorway at Fontaine->leau, is, like all his works, quite perfect.ud beautiful.

Then comes the Egyptian Museum,well tilled with sarcophagi, mummies,nd those curious images, reliefs, tablets,tc, which bailie our inquiries after their

history. Here we see a sphinx of reddishgranite, sitting bolt upright, finely polish-id but rudely sculptured, with the em-

blems of royalty inscribed, on its breastmd which is supposed to represent tohe son of Eamisis II., who presented the

Israelites. But we cannot pursue ouragaries with much satisfaction among

these, nor in the opposite Assyrian col-.ection, where are arranged the results ofexoavations made in 1843 to '45 by theFrench consul in Syria, in the vicinity ofNineveh, winged bulls with human heads,reliefs and fragments of various editions,and Assyrian inscriptions which are quitedifficult to read though very legibleBooms for antiquities from Asia Minor,from Algiers, and for Greek reliefs com-plete this floor.

Ascending now the wide stairway tothe first floor (our second story), we findourselves at the beginning of that seriesof many rooms and halls containing thefamous Picture Gallery. They are filledwith five general divisions, the ItalianGerman, Dutch, Spanish, and Frenchschools, and the length of the galleries,if in a straight direction, would extendthree-fourths of a mile, with the wallson either hand completely filled with thmultitudes of pictures, many of themworld renowned and priceless. Amongthe most noted we find here that greapicture by Murillo, the " ImmaculateConception," so familiar and so muchprized even in engravings. It is one o:the most valued pleasures of travel tha'we are thus brought into the presence o:these inimitable productions of theworld's greatest artists, and for a briespace lo ok upon the very work of theihands and the canvass over which theigenius has successfully brooded. Murillis better known to us by smaller pictuiethan this, his Madonnas and beggar boyand Spanish portraits, but beautiful asnearly all his works are admitted to benone boars the artiat into a realm so highand unapproachable as this. In coloring,grouping, and expression it seems a fipresentation of the grand and difficulsubject. It is about 10x14 feet in sizeand was purchased for the gallery at thinoredible sum of 615,300 francs. Theris anothor picture by Murillo upon th:same subject and nearly as large, but iwhich the inspiration of the former iwholly wanting. A nativity by him ii

much better, and his Vierge au Chapelets nearly as beautiful as his Madonna iuhe Pitti at Florence. Here we find alsome of the finest works of Paul Veronese

—the Marriage at Cana—tho largesticture in the gallery (32x21 feet), andisplaying the peculiar excellencies ofhis prolific artist, rich drapery, finerouping, and architectural accessories.

Many of the faces are portraits, Francis. and his young queen, Charles V., Marytuart and others, the last named havingvery youthful and bewitching beauty,

hough robed in a yellow silk. The " Lamine hydropique," by Gerard Dow, is

3aid to be the masterpiece of this wellown Dutch artist. Then there is theoted St. Michael of Kaphael, betweenhi<?h and that of Guido, critics differ as

o superiority, and a Holy family andhe Madonna of the garden, a subject inhich his pencil never fails. But this

pecial notice must stop for when therorks of Correggio, Guido, Da Vinci, Delarto, Van Dyke, Titian, Giotto, Luini,

Guercino and similar artists are displayed,o give all is impossible. Nearly all the>est European artists are represented byood specimens of their skill, and among

;he very large number there are very'ew really poor pictures.

In the grand gallery ia a series of 12 cr5 large pictures, uniform in size, painted>y order of Marie de Medecis, queen of

Henry IV., illustrative of various eventsn her own life and intended to adornhe palace of the Louxumburg which shead just caused to be erected, 1615. Theyre the work of Rubens and his pupils,nd the fulsome pencil flattery of thertist was no doubt highly compensatednd relished by the vain queen. Amonghe older pictures of the French school

we meet for the first time, upon any largeale, with the productions of Joseph

farnet, Nicholes Poussin,Claude Lorrainend Lesseur. It must, however, be con-ssed that we lack appreciation of the

dmitted high merit of Poussin. As ageneral thing his pictures of landscapesppear vacant and the coloring is quiteniformly of a dull green and sombreone and his people seldom bear a closeorutiny, but he has been commendedor his foliage and trees particularly, andt has not been deemed an exaggeration)y some to say that he brought land-cape painting to perfection, yet thores a want of softness and delicacy of toneobservable in most of his pictures whichoes not favorably impress us, and it isiffiult to understand why he should beailed the Raphael of France. Vernet iselebrated for his battle pieces, and a

series of sea views representing the har->ors of France, all hung side by side,ould appear more satisfactory if met

with singly. Lesseur is a painter of olderdate, and most of his pictures are of re-igious subjects. Many of these here ex-hibited are from the life of St. Bruno,nd are thought to be quite fine. Thedcturesof Claude Lorraine are much moreagreeable to the eye than either of theithers; there is a luxurious glow and

warmth in the very atmosphere, a deli-ate haziness and softness in the repre-

sentations which are exceedingly pleas-ant to look at and peculiar to this painter.Yet there is somewhat of sameness in thempression left by all his works, even thesea views and landscapes have a sort of re-semblance, though a careful study dis-plays a real and wonderful variety of de-tail in the completion of every portion ofhis pictures.

Of the more recent Frencn painters,the pictures by Greutz were uniformlyxcellent and effective, and his " broken

pitcher" had several copyists about itA portrait of herself and daughter, byMadame Le Brun, is a most beautifulwork both in its design and executionThe two large works by Rosa Bonheurwe looked at with all the interest of nov-elty and high expectation as we had notbefore seen any production from herhand. There is something very nobl<and life-like in her great oxen at thiplow, and it would be difficult to idealizimore beauty in these simple farm scene:with so few accessories, but it did seemas if we had never seen the whole sky ina picture some twelve feet square, so uniformly and deeply blue (these two belonging to the Louxumburg gallery)Several works by David justify his greatreputation; so also it may be said o'those of Gross find Gerard, but after althere is a greater satisfaction in lingerinamong the beautiful creations of theAnoient Masters, and particularly in alattempts at religious subjects they wereunapproachable by the Moderns: ancfor genre paintings we go back to Teniers,Ostade, Watteau, with ever fresh delightIt requires visit after visit to these larggalleries to be able to carry away definitideas even of the paintings most admiredand aside from the general and indefinitesatisfaction received from the passingreview there is doubtless some real pleasure in the careful and undisturbed contemplation of « small collection of thbest pictures or even of a single greamasterpiece at a time.

Leaving this part of the Louvre fofurther inspection, we pass through thvestibule into the rooms surrounding thcourt of the old Louvre, and here, toothe multiplicity of curious and remarkable objects, brought together in th-halls, is such that their general characte:is all that oan be indicated as we pas;along; first, however, stopping in thivestibule a moment to admire the ceilinpaintings by Bloudel, the fine vase, anthe beautiful mosaic floor aurioundinthe latter. The first room containsvaluable collection of works in enamejewelry, and rare objeots from the meditevaland renaissance periods. Nextanother room devoted to some of th<best works of the late French »ohool, anwhere we learn to look with greatly inoreased respect upon the modern productions, here represented by Gericaulthis " Hussar" and " Cuirassier," Prudhon's " Crime pursued by Justice;" th" Battle of Eylau" by Grog and his "Bona

parte in the plague hospital at Jaffa;"jrerard's " Cupid and Psyche," and theSabine Women between the Romannd Sabine Combatants," and other ex-ellent works by other artists.The extensive collections made by the

ate Emperor, and called the Musee Na-oleon III, are on this floor—very com-ortably arranged and in rooms rich withne ceiling paintings. Boom after roomucceeded each other, each filled with>me special collection, Phenician inscrip-ons, sculptures, etc., from Cyprus, vases,

erra cottas, etc., from Rhodes ; Syrianrnaraents and amulets in the first, three

occupied by Etruscan vases, urns,eliefs, etc., of great variety and value,wo with the most ancient forms of vases,ne with the more recent, next one withbjects in clay, drinking cups, etc., andhe last of this series with objects in glass.nd fresco paintings carefully cut fromhe original walls in Pompeii, and, thoughuite small, these latter were astonish-ngly fresh and even excellent. AnotherTies of nine rooms are occupiedby Greek,truscan, Roman and Egyptian an-

iquities, and being generally made up ofmall objects the number seems incredible,et there is no confused, hap-hazardommingling of any, but each distinctpecimen down to the tiniest tear bottle,dol and scaraboei or amulets is in properlace and duly number. The five roomsevoted to Egyptian curiosities are especi-lly full, and one of them is appropriatelydomed with a bust of the distinguishedrench archeologist, Chompallion. Fourooms contain the Musee des Souverains,s it is called, from the fact that the ob-ects here preserved have additional in-erest beyond their intrinsic richness andeauty from personal association withcted royal personages—a chair of king

Dagobert, prayer book of Charles theBold, sword and spurs of Charlemagne,

tc. One of this suite of rooms was de-roted to the exhibition of Souvenirsf Napoleon I., but at present we are not•ermitted to drink in Napoleonic inspir-

ation from the sight of his celebratedgray coat and three cornered hat—thehat he wore in St. Helena—and we passhrough the room and see only the emptyhelves, and the only object that is not

hidden from view is a small silver statueif Napoleon when a young lieutenantnd, as yet, a good Republican. In theenter of the ceiling overhead is carvedn high relief, Napoleon, and this is all;haiis visible of the mementoes that recallhe most remarkable man in French his-ory, and it is scarcely necessary to add;hat our disappointment was great.

Two rooms contain specimens of Italianaience, a species of colored porcelain or

pottery with raised figures of variouskinds, one of similar work by the cele-brated Bernard Palissy, A. D. 1589, uponwhich all manner of beasts, birds, reptiles,etc., are represented with great skill andi high relief; but wherein the oncereat value of this kind of ware lay we

jould not discover, for any real use itwas unfitted, and lizards, frogs, snakes,etc., are not in general the objects ofbeauty with which we decorate ourooms. The following collection of ine-

talic and bronze articles would furnish agood study for a day in its varied assort-ment of old locks, keys, knives, embossedplates, etc.; a room filled with glass andporcelain of mediaeval times, etc., highlyinteresting, contains also a large repre-sentation of the Lion of Venice, in glassmosaic of the 16th century, from the cele-brated works on the Island of Murano.The Lanvegeot collection, bequeathed byan amateur of that name, is very valuableand interesting in ancient miniatures,carvings and small articles of greatvariety and beauty. In the next roomare curiosities of the renaissance and me-diaeval periods, aud on the wall andAltar piece carved in ivory, which con-tains in its perfect figures a history ofChrist, John the Baptist, and John theEvangelist, and is a work of such mani-fest skill and patient labor that we arefairly amazed as we behold this and simi-lar works we have elsewhere seen.

We now enter in succession 14 roomscontaining one of the best known collec-tions of the original drawings of all thegreat painters of ancient and recenttimes, almost aB interesting as the finishedpictures, and to the Art student of greatvalue. Some of the drawings are quiteperfect as pictures, others are but themerest outlines. One of these rooms con-tains some beautiful pastile portraitswhich make us sometime wonder why wedo not see them more often in collections.In the last room on this floor we find arich display of antique bronze imple-ments, statuettes, ancient ornaments ingold and silver, seals, keys, etc., Romanweapons, helmets, shields, etc. You maypossibly feel a little confused in any at-tempt to understand what all this endlessarray of curious objects individuallywere, but had you gone through therooms themselves you would be scarcelyless so. But do not weary, you haveoften heard of the Louvre and its collec-tions, and this sketch is intended only toconvey to you a faint conception of itsmagnitude and variety.

While engaged in this attempt let usgo on and dispose of it. Upon the floorabove the one just examined is the mostextensive as well as best arranged collec-tion we have ever seen of everything con-nected with ships and ship-building, nav-igation, and marine supplies, plans ofharbors and piers, cannon and mortarsand numerous interesting relics. Themodel of one 120 gun ship was nearly 30feet long and perfectly and fully riggedand armed, indeed, this is true of a dozenothers not so large, but representing ves-sels of war as constructed at variousperiods, so that in these eleven rooms acomplete history of the French marine isautomatically exhibited, including alsothe scientific and nautical instrumentsused at sea. The rooms which follow aredevoted to the curiosities from China,Japan, Africa, and Mexico, the result ofvarious French expeditions and containan immense number of beautiful as wellas singular objects bearing upon the lifeand habits of those people. And here weclose this notice, in a single letter, of thevarious rich collections of the Louvre andneed only add as further evidence of theirextent the> the mere catalogue of the pic-tures occupy three volumes, or if boundtogether, a very thick octavo of upwardsof a 1,000 pages. This of course is muchthe largest, but there are other collectionsof great interest and of considerable sizeto which our steps have wandered ; butyou have had enough of this sort of in-formation for the present.

Ever yours,

Plain Talk by a Judge.The Bridgeport, Connecticut, Standard

relates the following: Two brothersnamed Adams, of Westport, have beenon unfriendly terms for several years,and a short time ago they came to blows.Each of them complained to a justice andeach of them was found guilty of a breachof the peace. Both appealed. Theircases came before the Superior Court lastweek, and one of them was found guilty,and in the cage of the other the jurycould not agree. Friday morning JudgeFoster called both of them before him,and talked to them in a most seriousmanner, and after a short review of theaffair told them it was shameful forthem to conduct themselves in such amanner toward each other. "Even stran-gers live in peace and why should notyou ? You have not even the excuse ofyouth and hot blood, but have arrived atan age when the passions should be un-der control." He then appealed to oneof them in a slightly sarcastic manner :"You have always used your brotherwell'("—"yes"—"and ho has alwaysabused you ?"—"yes." He then turnedto the other with the same questions andreceived similar answers. "Then," saidhe, "you are both to blame. There isfault on both sides, and I don't knowwhich is the worse." He then showedthem the folly of their present dispute,and admonished them if they had anygrievance in the future about propertyto either settle it among themselves or tocall in their neighbors to help them, "butdo not go to law. Law is an expensiveluxury." Then he appealed to them bothto be friends hereafter, and turning toone of them he put the question solemn-ly as in a marriage service: "You—Adams—do promise on your part thatyou will be friends in the future withyour brother." The response came ring-ing out, "I will." Then to the other thejudge put the same question, "You—Adams—do promise, etc., to which camean equally prompt "I will." "Thenshake hands!" said the judge, and asthey did so there was not a dry eye inthe court room. One of the brotherssobbed out: "By the blessing of God Iwill try and live peaceably with mybrother." The other signified the same."Then," said the judge, addreising the onewho bad been found guilty, "I imposeupon you the lightest sentence of thecourt, one dollar, and I discharge yourbond." During the closing scenes of thisiemarkable address of the Judge, theState Attorney and the members of thebar were all affected to tears.

Beating: a Railroad.Many droll stories are told of the

gentleman-beggar and polite swindler,known as Beau IIickiun.n, who died lastmonth at Washington. He inherited$40,000; but the lazy, dissipated, waste-ful habits of the Virginia " chivalry"—of which he was a sprig—made him apoor " dead beat" for the last 25 yearsof his life.

On one occasion, Beau being on a trainwithout a ticket, took a seat in the cars,and after the train had been in motionsome time, he stepped into the next carand called out loudly, "Tickets!" whenevery one, thinking him the Conductor,held out their tickets. Beau only tookup one, however, selecting that of a poor,honest old German farmer; and, passinginto the next car, took a seat, stickingthe ticket into the band of his hat.

In a few minutes there was the usualcall again of "Tickets!" and the realConductor made his appearance. Whenhe came to the old German farmer, heattempted to explain ; but the Conductorcut him short, saying, " Show your ticket,pay your money, or get off the train."

A good many passengers who had wit-nessed the transaction between Hickmanand the farmer, and wondered at the timewhy their tickets had not been called for,now came to the relief of the German,and remonstrated, protesting that theman had paid, and the Conductor whohad just passed through, had alreadytaken up his ticket.

The Conductor, thinking for a moment,said, " I'll bet Beau Hickraan is on thistrain ;" and, sure enough, on enteringthe next car, here sat Beau, as large aslife, looking quite innocent, and his ticketexposed in full view.

" Where did you get this ticket ? " askedthe Conductor, pulling it out of Hick-man's hat-band.

" It was given to me by a gentleman inthe next car," frankly replied Beau.

" You ought to be ashamed to rob apoor old German farmer in that way.

" Politest and cleverest people in theworld on your road," said Beau with hisinimitable smile and little bow. " Why—would you believe me, sir ?—I onlyneeded one, but every man in the car,when they knew who I was, tendered mehis ticket; and the ladies—God blessthem !—at least a dozen offered metheirs."

The Conductor passed him.

The Men Who Can be Spared.Recently a gentleman was making

official inquiry for the purpose of findinga man to fill a responsible position in aninsurance company. He came to a partywhom he thought would be likely togive him accurate and honest informa-tion of several men whose names he had.One was discussed, and another, andanother. Then the name of Mr.was mentioned.

" The very man for the place ; com-petent and worthy in every respect; butne can not possibly be spared from theposition he now adorns."

" Sir," said the Director, " toe do notwant a man who can be spared / "

There was a big volume in that re-mark. We do not want a man who can btspared What a multitude of men whocan be spared cumber every avenue topromotion. The barnaoles, the shirks,the makeshifts, somebody's nephewa,somebody's proteges, somebody's good-for-nothings. Young man, please rememberthat these are not the ones who arecalled for when responsible positions areto be filled. Would you like to gaugeyour own fitness for a position of promi-nence ? Would you like to know theprobabilities of your getting such a po-sition ? Inquire within I What are youdoing to make yourself valuable in theposition you now occupy ? If you are do-ing with your might what your handsfind to do, the chances are ten to onethat you will soon become so valuable tothat position that you cannot be sparedfrom it; and then, singular to relate,will be the very time when you will besought out by promotion for a betterplace.

Be content to grade among the menwho can be spared, and you may rest as-sured that nothing will " spare" you socertainly and so easily as promotion.

Japanese finances are getting into avery muddled condition. It was onlyrecently announced that the Minister ofFrance had resigned, and that a newone had taken its place. The latter hasalso recently resigned, and with him allthe offioials connected with the Depart-ment of finance, for the very good reasonthat they cannot solve the money-prob-lem of their country. The State debtamounts to $104,000,000, and is constant-ly increasing, while the Government iaunable to raise any more funds by taxa-tion. It ia reported that all the publiaworks now in progress are to be stopped,that the issue of paper money is to cease,and that all the expenses are to be re-duced to the minimum, and that no moreEuropean institutions are to be intro-duced for tho present. It is undoubted-ly the blind haste with which the Japan-ese have gone into the reform business,without stopping to consult the expense,that has involved them in this lamenta-ble financial snarl.

The Iron Trade.The present condition of the iron trade

of New York, and, in fact, of the wholecountry, presents some rather curiousanomalies. |Por twenty years the stocksof iron—not* only in New York, but atthe great producing centers and in thecountry stores—havo not boen so low asnow At the same time, the demandfor iron has rarely been so light or thesacrifices made by dealers so groat as atpresent. The causes of this stagnationIn the iron trade are neither apparentnor satisfactory; but a review of thetrade for the past two years, togetherwith some facts concerning the consump-tion of iron and the sources of the ironsupply will prove instructive. Up toAugust, 1871, refined bar-iron sold inEngland for £7 10s. to £7 15s. per ton.This made the price of imported ironabout $00 curruuey in bond, while theaverage duty of $25 a ton added to thismade the price of imported iron, dutypaid, about $75 to $78 a ton. Americaniron was then selling for $75 a ton. InAugust, 1871, a ri8e took place, and theprice of iron advanced in a few monthsfrom £7 15s. to £14 10s. in England, andfrom $75 to $120 a ton in America. Ayear later, in September, 1672, the priceof bar-iron in England fell from £14 10s.to £10 15a. The decline continued untilDecember, while during the present yearprices have again risen, varying from £15to £12 10s. a ton. In the United Statesthe price of iron was kept at $89.00 a tonin the early part of 1873, with the pros-peot of ai\ advance. But instead of anadvance there was a decline, and ironhas now been selling for several months

0.G4. Thus it appears that iron isonly $4.50 to $5 a ton dearer in NewYork now than in 1871, and yat, notwith-standing the fact of almost a bare market,there is no steady demand and prices arealtogether unreliable. The tariff hasnow effectually prohibited the importa-tion of the usual grades of bar-iron. Forthe coat of iron in England, with freightand insurance added, would put the pricat about $79 currency a ton in bond,which, with tho duty of $25, would makethe price of imported iron more than $100a ton, while the American producer withlow stocks on hand is unable to sellfreelyat $80 a ton.

This condition of things is somewhatperplexing] but perhaps the true solu-tion of it is to be found in the followingfacts : First—-The farmers, who are th<principal consumers of bar-iron, have forseveral years been pinched for money.Tho adverse operation of the tariff lawshas driven them to greater economy, andthey now repair their wheel tires andfarming implements, and refrain longercom buying new ones than formerly.

Second—A groat number of small forgeshave recently sprung up in convenientc(>nters, which produce from 1,000 to5,000 tons each of rolled iron forged tosuit the demand of their respective neigh-borhoods. Singly they are of little im-portance, but collectively they constitutea wry formidable competition with thegreat iron establishments of Pennsylvaniaand Maryland. The farmers within aradius of a hundred miles around Homein this State no longer purchase theirsupplies of iron from New York, butdraw them from the foundries whichh ivt> sprung up ill the former city within1 in; last few years. This is only one ofthe many examples which might be citedin all parts of the country. Third—Thedemand for railroad iron has decreasedwith the decline in railroad building,which is largely attributable to the highprice of iron, implements, and labor pro-duced by the tariff.

Whatever the complete solution of thepresent stagnation in the iron trade maylie, or wherever the future center of theiron production in this country may belocated', it is very certain that the out-rageous tariff on iron which has servedthe purposes of the Pennsylvania foun-ders and forgers for the past twelve yearsis now a dead letter. It no longer bringsrevenue to the treasury nor protection tothe American manufacturer of iron—X 1'. World.

The Influx of (.old.

The people of the United States havebeen worshiping the"gieen goddess otirredeemable paper" more ^han tenyears. Another sovereign will soonmake his appearance and dispute the su-premacy. The popular delusion thatthere never could be a general suspen-sion on a greenback basis, there being"nothing to suspend on," has been rude-ly dispelled. True, the suspension has-not yet become general, but the ingre-dients for it are at hand, and everybodyis now willing to admit that it might beso. The virtue of irredeemable paper toavert a panic has vanished into thin air.

Looking at the movement of gold fromforeign countries to the United States,—a movement which cannot be stoppedeven if the Bank of England should beForced to suspend,—it is not impossiblethat specie payment may be forced uponthe greenback-worshippers of this coun-try in spite of themselves. What is tolie done with this gold Y If we were ona specie basis, it would strengthen thtbiiiks, and tend to restore confidenceand aWrt the worst results of the crisis.If the ample resources of the Govern-ment had been devoted to redeemingpast due-paper in accordance with asolemn promise, instead of buying upan indebtedness having twenty years tcrun, this incoming gold, together withthe stock already here, and the produc-tion of our mines, amounting to $1,000,-000 per vvc( K, would soon ballast the cra-zy slwp of finance. But that has notbeen done, and the question comes pres-sing upon us, What shall be done withtins gold? Foreigners expect to buyour wheat with it, and buy it they will.Already telegrams have been receivedhere from Canada inquiring at whatprice wheat can be bought for coinThere is nothing that cannot be had forgold in times of panic. Gold coin orbullion will domineer over the green-back at a terrible rate in any controver-sy that may arise between them respect-ing the possession of wheat, pork, or anything else under the sun. The laws otthe United States and the decisions othe highest tribunal recognize contractsmade payable specifically in coin. Idocs not strain pur eyesight to see in thennnr future a trade starting up on a golcbasis, and " going it alone." It may littftut the gold that is coming over will afirst be sold for greenbacks, but as it accu-mulates it will become too costly to behoarded. Unless it is in circulation per-forming its natural office, somebody mustlose the interest on it. No great accumu-lation can long be held idle. Nor can itgo out of the country so long as foreign

nnge is below par, as it must he for along time to come. There will be a pow-erful force at work to drive this gold intothe channels of business. It will not cir-culate on an equality with greenbacks,hut it may circulate, nevertheless ; and, towhatever extent it moves, it will relievethe existing pressure. What the preciseresult will be we shall not attempt to

net, but it will probably make a bet-ter speech in favor of specie paymentsthan Boutwell or Grant ever niuue in fa-vor ol taxing the people one hundredmillions per annum over and above theneeds of the Government, in order to buy,at a premium, bonds having fifteen ortwenty years to run.— Chicago Tribune.

A WKLI.-KXOW.N artist had, accordingi, thrown open his studio to his

friends and patrons for a private view ofhis pictures, intended for the ltoyal Acad-emy. One represented a merry partydancing, the host's face beaming withpleasure as he raised a glass of cham-!• IJ;ne to his lips. "1 don't know," saidthe artist to a friend, " what on earth tocall this picture—how to account for thehappy expression on the face of the host.""

FRIDAY TVTORNTWO OCT. 3, 1873

MATT. CARPENTER is making a des-lerate effort to get into the favor of theBasses; and prosecuting his effort he re-

cently made a speech, or delivered an ad-dress at one of Josn BILLIXGS' " agricul-tural horse trots," that is at the annualfair at Eockford, Winnebago County, HIIn this address, he declares that Kail-roads are public highways, that tax itioncan therefore be laid to build them, orthat they may bo built by the expondi-ture of any moneys in the treasury, fromwhatever sources derived or purposesraised ; that Congress may regulate thetariff rates upon all railroads wherefreights are shipped or passengers carriedfrom one State to another; and thatCongress may build as many trunk linesfrom east to west—and by logical deduc-tion from north to south—as it may deemnecessary to bring down the prices ottransportation.

If the farmers or Grangers wish to get" out of the frying pan into the fire" theywill listen to such rant as this of SenatorCARPENTER, adopt the views he pro-pounds, and rely upon Congressionallegislation to regulato existing railroadsand build new ones. If Congress can enterupon the general work of public, inter-State improvements, build, purchase andoporata railroads, canals, etc., there is nolimitation to its powers—for evil. Itbe well for the people to pause beforeconsenting to set up such a centralizedand arbitrary body and bidding it sendout its army of servants, employes, office-holders, to thrive and fatten upon theland. If Congress can do these things itmay tax the people to establish banks orother corporations, may take tho manu-facturing as well as transportation in-terests in its charge, and may assume therole of the all in all, the be all and doall.

If Congress is possessed of such omnipo-tence then the framers of the Constitu-tion builded in vain, builded in ignor-ance, builded limitations and barrierswhich have been broken down and sweptaway, created a government with original,general, absolute, instead of delegatedpowers; and the States and counties andtowns, with their varied systems of gov-ernment, exist only by sufferance and arenot the fountains or germs they have solong been considered. It is well to fol-low a proposition to its legitimate con-clusion before accepting it to accomplisha specific end.

A NEW POLITICAL party has been tanized in California and christened thePeople's Independent" party. The tele-

Not unmixed with clap trap but soundin the mam. The eight hour plank is ahumbug of the first water, and the one-term plank is mere froth. A Presidentrestricted to a term of four years wouldbe no more free from partisanship andcorruption than if elegible to a secondterm; nor so much so in our opinionThe opposition to Chinese immigrationis merely a local issue, and such immigra-tion should the rather be regulated thanprohibited.

The convention nominated E. W. Mc-KINSTKY for Judge of the Supreme Court,and commended Gov. BOOTH, who is thenew party candidate for United SlatesSenator.

THURSDAY of last week was Detroit'sblue day. Kims were made on the sev-eral Savings Banks and the privatebanking offices of D. PKESTON & Coand BEITZ it CO., compelling both estab-lishments to suspend. Saturday morn-ing PRESTON & Co. published a cardputting their assets—all claimed to begood—at $1,183,296.02, and their liabili-ties at $860, 'iiMi.07. They resumed bus-iness on Saturday, at the usual hourpaying out small sums and offering gootsecurities to all the fearful who wish twithdraw large deposits, for hoardingrather than business. We believe no runhas been made on them since re-openingThe Savings Banks all went throughand no run was marie on the SevernNational Banks.

WIIEX Democratic journals havecharged that President GRANT was responsible for the increase of his ownsalary as well us the salaries of membersof Congress, the favorite Republicananswer has been " you lie." But nowconies Congressman WlI.IAHU, of Ver-mont, in whose veins there runs not adrop of Democratic blood, and avers thathe President "personally express >d tc" members a desire to have his own salarj"increased ; and the selfish interest O" mombers in increasing their own pay" was only one of the devices by whicl" the President's salary was raised : ir"other words it pulled that inereasi"through, and the whole measure hm"favor at the White House on that ac-" count." Now let some Radical scribblergo for Congressman WILLARD and "se'him up on his ear.*1

In this connection, it should be under-stood by tho oppressed and strugglingtax-payers of tlie country that PresidesQBAKT was already getting $25,000 ayear, out of which he had only to pay hispersonal and family expenses, the WhiteHouse being furnished and warmed atpublic expense.

S. D. BlNOHAU has vacated the editori-al chair of the Lansing Republican : " on afurlough" he puts it. HTEPUE has madean admirable paper, politically hot, butnevertheless always courteous to Democratic journalists and political opponentsgenerally. The craft will part with himwith regret. Ho is succeeded by W. (•*.GEOUGE, the senioi partner of the Repub-lican nrin and an untiring worker.

A LETTER in another column from

President Grant gives it to be understood ,hat the so-called reserve of $44,000,000

will be used to meet tho current expof the government if necessary, the other'unds hving Jinst exhausted in purchasing:>onds, paying interest, etc. Is this thereserve" in such dispute at the last ses-

sion of Congress, made up of retiredreonbacks, which it was claimed by the

Senate Finance Committee the Secretaryof the Treasury had no right to re-issueunder any circumstances? If so it maytie well for Secretary Richardson to pause'It is not yet a settled question that thegovernment has or say ought to have thepower to interfere in the financial affairsof the people,—bull and bear in Wallstreet,—and illegal action even to.affordtemporary relief is a bad precedent.

—D. Preston, of Detroit having issueda card since the recent suspension andannouncing his contemplated reopening,commencing: "Whatis the out-look ? It'sgood. There's light ahead; there'in God; there's wealth in Jesus; there'spower in prayer ;" with more of the samesort in the middle and at the end, it istold that a citizen dropped into the bankafter resumption, looked around, mani-fested some surprise at tho familiar ap-pearance of things, and finally said, " Isee, Mr. Preston, you have the sameclerks." Mr. P responded, "of course,you didn't expect us to change clerks didyour" and the rejoinder was, "why, yes,1 supposed that you would have Christand his Apostles now." The natural ef-fectof sandwiching one's faith and piinto a business curd.

— The Chicago Tribune, claims that theUnited States Treasury is nearly emptyand that bankruptcy stares the govern-ment in the face. It alleges that themoneys on hand, with the internal rev-enue and custom receipts, will be insuf-ficient to meet the curront expenses andpay the November and January interest.It says that immediate legislation isnecessary, and that such legislation shouldbe a re-adjustment of the tariff on a r< *•• -ra/ebasis. The tariff duties must be leviedfor revenue instead of protection, that ison such articles as will give money tothe government instead of to the manufac-turers. In which case at least some goodwill come from the crisis.

— In a recent speech Sen atoi Carpen-ter said, "What is called ' protection' tothe manufacturers of iron or woolencloths, is in substance raising money bytaxation, and paying it as a bounty tothe manufacturer. The immediate re-sult is to increase the cost of the manu-factured article." Yet Senator Carpen-ter and the politicians with whom heacts .favor such "protection:" that isfavor taxing the large body of consumersthroughout the country to enrich themanufacturer? Isn't it time for " everytub to stand on its own bottom."

— Notwithstanding Republican conventions fail to denounce the Presidentfor his share in the salary steal legislation, and Republican journals exoneratehim, it is alleged that he sent fora Pennsylvania Congressman,—a Mr. Hanner—during the pendency of the salary bill,and told him it would never do to raisehis salary alone, but that Congressmenmust raise their own salaries also. Hissignature was therefore secured by making his personal interests subordinate tothe public good, (i)

— The tariff duty on cod-liver oil be-ing 40 per cent., the N. Y. World allegesthat the invalids and growing childrenof the country paid to the government in1872, $3,501.54 and to the cod-fishers ofMassachusetts $200,000 to protect themagainst tho pauper and fat-liven d cod-fish of Newfoundland and other cod-fish-eries. One dollar to the- govenment andsix dollars to the cod-fish aristocracy otNew England.

—At a meeting of prominent Ne.wYork financiers, held on Friday eveningof last week, resolutions were adoptedrecommending the banks of that city todiscount commercial paper freely, for thepurpose of aiding in moving forward thecrops of the country, and expressing" undoubting confidence that the policyof liberal discounting will immediatelyrestore tranquillity to the public mind."

— The railroad lands tax suit—whichwe noticed some weeks since as pendingin the U. S. Circuit Court was decidedby Judge Emmons on Monday of lastweek, in favor of the State. Judge Em-mons held that earned lands are taxable,which includes much the larger body ofthe land-grants in the State. The north-ern counties have special reason to begratified at the decision.

.—We hope that the Cincinnati Bntptirermay not be far out of the way in figur-ing on Senator Thurmnn's re-election bythe new Ohio Legislature (not yetelected) by five majority, but we have adistinct recollection of the fable of themilkmaid who "counted her chickensbefore they were hatched," and even be-fore the eggs were bought.

— Col. John IE. Stewart, postmaster atPittsburg, Pa., has been arrested, chargedwith being a defaulter. That is the termused, but as valuable letters passingthrough his office havo repeatedly failedto reach their destination, larceny orstealing would more appropriately namehis crime. It is time defaulting officerswere branded thievsa,

—Report has it that Bowen has said 'heBrooklyn I'liimi to a stock company, thathe is negotiating n sale of the Independent,and that if the sale is made he will go withhis family to Europe—for a permanentresidence.

JAY COOKE & Co. gave their promisedfinancial statement to the public on Sat-urday last. They figure their liabilities;exclusive of loans made to the firm byindividual members, at $7,939,409.26 ; andand their gross assets, exclusive of collat-erals pledged to secure the $1,701,140.99loans from firm members, at $15,966,212.-17. These assets are itemized : bills re-ceivable, banks, insurance, and otherstocks, bonds and real estate, $7,867,640,-12; loans to N. P. R. Co. (on $8,750,-000 stocks of the Oregon Steam Nav-igation Co.), $1,500,000 ; loar»s to the N.P. R. Co. (on tho Company's bonds), $i,-068,215.09; second mortgage railroadbonds, stocks, &o , $2,030,356.96. Unlessthere shall be a shrinkage of the first itemof assets and a complete loss of the rail-road securities tho firm will be able to payevery dollar of its liabilities and have ahandsome margin left. It, is to !><• hopedthat this will be the result.

THE RAILROAD ARTICLE.c thorough consideration and dis-

nstitutional Chas adopted the following article onRailroads, or rather has passed it throughail the preliminary stages, the final votebeing reserved until the Commissionshall be prepared to act upon the severalarticles :

"SECTION 1. The Legislature may,from time to tin .,s establishingreasonable maximum rates of cnarges forthe transportation of passengers andfrelgh gulaliug the snped oftrains on diffprent rai • this State,and shall prohibit contracts between suchrailroad companies whereby discrimination is mad ier of suchcompanies as • lior companiesowning, CO .ting linesof raili

!il corporation shallconsolidate with or acquire or hold stockin liny oilier railroad corporation owningor controlling a parallel or competingline of road ; nor shall any such corpora-tion purcb : r lease any such parallelor competing line of road ; and no twoor more parallel or competing lines ofrailroad shall be run or operated, eitherdirectly or indirectly, wholly or in part,under the same management or supervis-ion, or in the same interest or under orsubject to uny arrangement, agreement,or understanding with reference to ratesof fare or freight to be charged, or forthe division ot earnings ; any violation ofeither of the provisions of this sectionshall subject every corporation party tosuoh violation to a forfeiture of all itscorporate rights and franchises; and itshall be the duty of the Attorney Gen-eral, whenever satisfied of any such vio-lation, to institute proceedings, on the

>n of any citizen of the State whomay request him so to do, or on his ownrelation to obtain a judicial declarationof such forfeiture.

" SEC. 3. Every corporation doing busi-ness in this State shall have and main-tain an office in this State, where shallbe kept books, in which shall be made toappear the amount of its capital stock,and the names of the persons who own orhold the stock of the company; theamount of the bonded and other indebt-edness of the company, and its propertyand assets, which books snail at all timesbe open to the inspection of any stock-holder, and of such officer or officers ofr.he State as shall be designated by law.The officer of sucU»company, who tnayhave the custody of such books, shall re-side in this State.

" SBO. I. No corporation shall issueany stock except in consideration ofmoney, labor, or property actually re-ceived by it equal to the par value ofsuuh stock ; nor shall it issue any bondsor other evidence of indebtedness, exceptfor money, labor, or property actnallyreceived by it. All stock dividends andother fictitious increase of capital stockof any corporation shall be void.

" SEC. <i. No railroad corporation shallissue or present, or cause or permit to beissued or presented, directly or indirectly,to any person except employes of rail-roads, any free pass over its road ; norshall such corporation issue, or cause, orpermit to bo issued, to or "for tho use ofany such person, any commutation passor ticket upon any other or differentterms, or upon any other or different con-ditions than the terms and conditionssipon which it, at the time issues likepasses or tickets to the public generally."

The article we are confident will meetthe approval of the mass of citizens ofthe State, and its restrictions and limita-tions ought to go a long way toward pro-curing a favorable verdict from the peo-ple upon the work of the Commission.

THE STATE taxes apportioned by theAuditor General and to be levied on thetax-rolls of the several counties the pres-ent fall, aggregate !ji)S2,2:;0.,J>0, to whichis to be added an aggregate county iu-

Lness of $1 7 1,316.79, making agrandtotal of $1,156,547.29. Tho apportion-ment to Washtenaw county is $49,111.52 ;county indebtedness, $4,568,10; total,$53,679.62. Excess over last year $9,227.77.

The cash balance in the State Treas-ury at the close of business September17th, was $853,702.81, an increase for theweek of $19,749.45. This is a very re-spectable currency balance to be carriedby pet banks in . of panic—andat 1 per cent.

Tim Panic an<L the Crops.We have lit the present moment of sur-

plus crops already gathered and dailygathering the following estimatedamounts: Of cotton for export we have3,000,000 bales,representing at 121-2 centsa pound an average value of $58 a bale,or a total value of $174,000,000. Thesurplu of the country willyield fully $100,000,000, making the totalvalue of agricultural products not less

000,000. Then-is no stagnationin the demand abroad for these products.On the contrary they are much needed,

illy the breadstuff's, by Europeanconsumers, and they should be now press-ing forward to the .seaboard for shipmentto the markets of London, Liverpool,Havre and "Hamburg. But the usualsmooth machinery for moving and mar-keting the crops is suddenly and rudelystopped. Merchants and shippers in NewYork cannot supply their customers in theinterior with money, because they cannotrealize on shipments of produce by thesale of sterling and other foreign ex-changes. The little foreign exchangethat is sold is sacrificed at from 4 percent, to 5 per cent, below its real value.Large amounts of greenbacks or legaltenders cannot be obtained by men whosefacilities for getting money have hithertobeen unlimited because the banks haveadopted the policy of certifying checksand refuse to part with currency. Timepresses; every day of delay in getting the

causes incalculable mis-chief, but instead of the emergency beingmet the general spirit manifested is mumquip/rut. Thai this state of affairs, shouldit last ten or twelve days I mger, inu-t re-act disastrously upon the entire produ-cing u i the interior there can belittle doubt. But the greatest anxietyseems to be felt less for the industrialmasses whose interests are jeopardizedthan for tlus effect that the opening of theSto; V. Exchange will have on bonds andsecurities which have been the primarycanst' of tlie panic. This anxiety aboutthe St'ock Exchrnga is not likely to helpmatters. The restoration of ability to sellexchange and thereby to assist the inte-rior in moving its produce is a prime con-dition of relief from bhe present striicy. This is the only sound policy, and

, alls for doing this must be providedif a much greater calamity than the break-ing of mushroom banks and the deprecia-tion of fictitious securities is to be avertedAnd the sooner the solid commercial menof New York see to it that means areprovided for accomplishing this objectthe better it will be for them and for allof us. Ten millions of dollars may ac-complish now what a hundred millionswill be inadequate to accomplish a fewweeks or a month hence. We have rivalsfor the breadstuff trade of England bothin Russia and North Germany; and ifthese rivals are enabled by tin; presentdead-look t" occupy tho English marketin advance of us the loss may be severelyfelt in every village and iann-house oftfce West. The railroad bond panic haslasted long enongh. It is time that wewere getting to work on the basis of act-ual co 1 values.—JV. Y. World.

Letter1 from President Grant.EXECUTIVE MANSION )

WASHINGTON, September 28, 1873. fllessers. 11 B. Clarh'n and Chas L Antho-

ny :GENTLEMEN—In response to the views

which you have communicated to me,touching the present stringency of themoney market of the country, and thenecessary steps to restore legitimatetrade and commerce, I have the honor tocommunicate the following: The Gov-ernment is desirous of doing all in itspower to relieve the unsettled conditionof business affairs, which is holding backthe immense resources of the countrynow awaiting transportation to the sea-board and a market. Confidence on thepart of the people is the first thing need-ed to relieve this condition and to avertthe threatening destruction of business,with its accompanying disasters, to allclasses of people. To re-establish thisfeeling the Government is willing to takeall legal measures at its command. Butit is evident that no government effortswill avail without the active co-opera-tion ot the country. With the $14,000,-000 already paid out in purchase of theGovernment indebtedness, and the withdrawal of their large deposits from thetreasury; the banks are now strongenough to adopt a liberal policy on theirpart, and by a generous system of dis-count to suscain the business interests ofthe country. Should such a course bepursued, the $44,000,000 of reserve willbe considered as money in the treasury.to meet the demands of the public necessity as the circumstancas of the countrymay require. Close attention will begiven to the course pursued by those whohave means at their command of render-ing all the aid necessary to restore tradeto its proper channels and condition, witha view of strengthing the hands of thosewho carry out the measures above indi-cated. Orders have alerady been issuedfor the prepayment of the interest accru-ing in November.

Tha financial disturbance or the past weekseriously affected the shipments to this markeiand rendered the former briskness into decidecinactivity. The orders received by factors towithhold all lots from markets tended to flight-en small operators from making ventures, andproduced a feverish feeling, winch was height-en cd by the nature of market transaction. Ship-ments eastward were confined to necessities,

og from tlie tlie indispositions of largeoperators to participate in the market. Re-

i the week and month were as fol-lows :

It would be impossible to place the transac-tions of the past few days in cattle upon anybasis or on record as legitimate. The lots thatwore brought were in transitu previous to thepanic or had been engaged and must be offeredThe quality was not up to the former market,;ui(l such butchers as were possessed of the readymoney bought up what they could at their ownprices. Choice heads, nicely built steers, aver-aging 850 to 1,000 lbs, were secured at about•*'_)5 per head., which would put prices about 75coft on a hundred. Eastern operators were notin the field, considering it useless to offer NewYork drafts. Many lots were unsold, holdershaving decided it best to put in pasture till themarket brightens up or assumes a normaltone.

HOGS.

Packers, not unlike other operators, saw theirr pportunity to secure lots at a decline. Easternbuyers, could not tender drafts, and so homebuyers advanced their own prioes, payable ingreenbacks, which were taken under compul-sion by holders. Lots bought were at $3 50 to^1 per 100 lbs., the highest realized being about94 26. The lots in transit from Chicago to theEast formed the only shipments for two days,and were of jine qualities. Those reoeived fromthe Slate showed a betterment and trade hadbegan to be quite brisk in choice lots,

SHEEP.

This department of the market suffered a de-cline. Offerings were fair, though they couldnot lie regarded as an improvement over theformer week. Some holder*, after holding lotsIn market) returned them to pasture, but finallysucceeded in selling them at a sacrifice to-day.Those that exchanged hands were sold at $3 50a3 TV The absence of regular operators and therefusal to accept drafts tended to produce thestagnation.

Extraordinary Chance for

$20,000 in Bonds for Sale.I will sell ten thousand dollars coupon bonds ot

Leavenworth Gas Light Company, of Leavenworth.Kansas; also ten thousand dollars same kind ofbonds of Citizens' Gas Light Company, of St JosephMissouri. '

These bonds are in denominations of $100, <«5"«and $1.000. The St. Joe bonds have nearly 4 years torun and draw eight per cent, interest. The Leaven-worth bonds have over 5 years to run and draw sevenper cent, interest. I will make both to purchaserten per cent, interest to maturity.

These bonds are a first-class investment, will finda more ready sale in the market than farm mortgagesin case parties purchasing shall desire to realize onthem at any subsequent time before maturity. Theinterest on them is payable semi-annually, and pay-able at First National Bank, Ann Arbor.

The stock of these Gas Companies is owned princi-pally in Ann Arbor, and is controlled entirely bycitizens of Ann Arbor, by such men as Dr. K. Wells

these companies are owned principally by the »parties.

In addition to their undoubted security I will in-dorse the bonds, thus holding me personally respon-sible, and I will give written guarantee to take tin raback if parties purchasing now aiterwards desire touse their money otherwise after the rirst day of De-cember or before the first day of January next, atsame price as paid, and allow one per cent, peimonth for the use of themoney, or at any time be-fore maturity, allowing ten per cent, per annnnfrom date of purchase. These bonds being of de-nominations of $100 puts them within the reach otpersons of moderate means, and with my personaindorsement places them so far as security is con-cerned beyond question

My reasons for selling are : Being unable to pro-cure, as I have usually done, the necessary accom-modation from BankB in consequence of the flnanenddifficulties extending throughout the entire couiitiv.

to $10,000 daily to carry them through, I prefer tosell some of my permanent investments rather tba:check my business

These bonds can be seen on application to J. W.Knight, Esq , Cashier of the First National Bank olAnn Arbor, and will remain in the market for oneweek, and unless applied for within tliat time wilbe withdrawn ; and unless application is maiJe for atleast ten thousand dollars no sales will he made.

— R. L. Godfrey, of Pittsfleld, exhibited a"pig" at tlie late County Fair—Poland andChina—which weighed 8U0 lbs., and which heproposes to make weigh 1,200 when it gets to bea hog—say next March.

— A couple half-breed Indians ran a foot-raceon the Fair grounds on Friday afternoon last,getting their heat in between the heats of the"big trot." They made their half mile in 2minutes -11 seconds.

They also had astand for the sale of fancy articles in the centralbuilding, and cleared at the same some $70.

— N. Arksey gives his card to the ARGUSreaders this week. Mr. Arksey has won an en-viable reputation as a manufacturer of first-classcarnages, double or single, and the work he turnsout is of the best material and finish—a state-ment we shall be borne out in making by allvisitors to the late County Fair who examinedthe tine double carriage, two single buggies, andposy phaeton exhibited by him. Call onArksey before sending an order away fromhome.

— There was a very severe rusli between theSophs and Fresh on Saturday last, and pump-ing raids have been indulged in on successiveevenings. In the Saturday rush one studentWan arm broken and others were considera-bly battered. It is time to call a halt! Suchrecklessness, lawlessness, and riot cannot be

legitimate sport, and disgraces the classes»'«1 the University. Let the rivalry and striteWtorthe honors won by gentlemen and schol-ia rather than those of rowdies DI- pugilists.

— The occasional or nightly whooping, yellingor yelping with which the ears of our citizensare greeted, disturbed, pierced, and their slum-fc«B and dreams banished, would lead an mno-»atand guileless stranger to suppose that our"t)r had been invaded and captured by a rovingl«iut of Sioux or Modo; warriors, and neverw«uld the uninitiated suspect a simple influx ofyoung men, sons of intelligent and well-behavedPatents of this and other States, students in*jfeek and Latin and other studies of a I'ni-™*sity curriculum.

Total number of entries, - - 939The show of cattle was excellent and large.

The herds were entered by Messrs. D. M. Uhl,G. W. and H. T. Phelps, and John Starkweath-er; Mr. Uhl having 10 head ; the Messrs. Phelps

and Mr. Starkweather, 4. J. S. Wood, ofi, showed the fat cattle, and they were fine

animals.

The show of horses was also large. The Eng-ish coach horse owned by Mr. Watkins, ofManchester, and which also has a military rec-jrd, attracted a great deal of attention. Therewere some fine trotters, but the trial of speedwas so tedious on Friday that it was postponeduntil Saturday, and our reporter " was n't thar."

In sheep A. A. Wood, J. S. Wood, and B.'reston & Son, exhibited Merinos—40 head—

and L. Wallington and Emanuel Mann, LongWools—20 head. They were fine lots.

The hogs and pigs numbered 30, and the showf poultry was large and tine.In agricultural implements Moses Rogers

nade almost all the entries and a fine -how, ands entitled to credit for his enterprise.

The show of Grain, Seeds and Vegetables wasarge, and better samples of potatoes, beets,quashes, onions, melons, etc., need not be look-d for. There was also good lots of butter andheese, and beautiful " bread and honey."All our carriage makers—Arksey, Bross,

landy, Wurster Sc Me Lean, and Schmid wereepresented, and by work creditable to them-elves and the city, and our manufacturers and

merchants made fine displays of furnirure, sil-er-ware, furs, musical instruments, <fcc.Floral Hall was not what it should have been,

but Mrs. Ten Brook, and Mrs. Wiuegar madehue displays in the amateur line, and were aidedby Mr. N. B. Covert and J. G. Price. The la-ies also contributed many and fine specimens of

leedle-work. We must not omit to notice fournely and truthfully executed oil portraits, the

work of Miss Katie Rogers, of this city, whonves promise of making a reputation not un-

orthy the nieeeof Kandolph Rogers, so ruinouss a sculptor.In fruits C. H. Woodruff was the largest ex-

libiter of Grapes, though Mr. Ten Brook had aine lot. There were fine Pears and Apples, Mr.. A. Scott being, perhaps, the largest exhibitor

>f both fruits.But we cannot go through the several depart-

ments in detail. The premium list, to be pnb-ished next week, will give the names ot exhi-jiters more in detail.

The Fair was, perhaps, a success under theircumstances, though not what it niijlii andhould have been.

A MAN SHOT IN SALEM.—Just before noon ot'uesday last, Hiram B. Warren, of Salem, agedbout 30 years, was shot and killed by HenryiVarren, aged 18 years. The latter was a sonf Hiram G. Warren and cousin to tlie former.

As we get the report the young men with a hiredK>y were in the cornfield at work when Henryame up behind Hiram within six feet, and, as

alleges, when intending to shoot over Hi-ain's head to scare him, the gun (being loadednly with a large charge of powder and wad—lipped—the muzzel falling part way down) and

going off blowed Hiram's brains out. This washe second attempt of the same kind to " scare"iram that he had made the same forenoon. Anquest was held and a verdict rendered thatle said Hiram B. Warren came to his death atme and place stated, by the discharge of a gun

n the hands of Henry Warren, without intent> kill. Hiram was an unwitted, foolish sort ofman.

—The practice of pointing guns in sport orIT " scare" cannot be too severely censured, andle laws of the State —see compiled laws, page077—provide for severely punishing such aare less use of fire arms.

Hill 's Opera House.On Monday evening, Oct. fith, Harry Bobin-

linstrels—the man with the Silver Horns—will appear at the above hall. We clip thefollowing notice of the troupe from the Cleve-land (Ohio) Herald:

HABRY ROBINSON'S MIHSTBBLS.—Seldom hasthe Opera House been graced by so excel-lent a minstrel troupe as that which occupiedlie boards last night. The entertainment ofthis popular company attracted a large andhighly respectable audience. The instrumentalpart of the programme was unusually well ren-dered and proved a prominent feature of theperformance. The jokes were mostly new andelicited roars of applause. The solos were ad-mirable. A picolo solo^by Thomas Hedge wasa wonderful performance for so small an instru-ment and was rapturously applauded. The en-tire performance was very good, and anothervisit at no distant period "from the man withtin; silver hums" would undoubtedly be profit-able.

In Mciuorinm.i meeting of the Senior Class, held Sep-

tember 30, 1S7:>, the following preamble and.ifions were adopted:'

WHEREAS, Our beloved friend and classmate,CHAKLES W. CUTLER, has been removed fromour midst by the hand of Death ; and

WHEEEA9, It affords us a melancholy satisfac-tion to pay this last tribute to his memory, and togive utterance to our appreciation of his manynoble qualities of mind and heart; therefore,be it

'red, That in the death of Charles A\ .Cutler, wo have lost a. faithful friend and theUniversity an earnest student.

Resolved, That, we mourn his loss and extendour sympat hies to his sorely afflicted family ; and

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions betransmitted to the relatives of the deceased, andthat they be published in the / niversity Chron-icle and city papers.

the agent, " Well Mr. Schuylcr, in these days ofmnic and financial tightness and broken bankst is hardly proper for a bank president to keep

gay horses and so I have concluded to send mineoff to be sold." Schuyler's response came ojufck :"That will do to tell Judge, hut 1 know what'sthe matter, you arc shipping them nut of thecounty to get them away from your creditors.'1

Salt for Dairy Stork.Salt is one of tho most important ac-

cessories in the food of all herbivorousanimals and one of the most abused inits distribution to farm stock, by the av-erage farmer. We recollect thirty-fiveyears ago, being sent with a bag of saltout on the range on horseback once aweek to bait cattle. Between those timesthey had to get along by licking the al-kaline efflorescences that are so widelydistributed in many places throughouttho West. It must strike any intelligentman or woman that, if salt be necessary

%} the animal economy, and that no onedoubts, it is as necessary, each and everyday, as it would be at such occasionalintervals as may suit the conveniences oftho individual.

It has long been known among observ-ing people that the longer farm stockare kept without salt, the more crazythey become for it, and that they con-sume more than when they can take itat will. Salt when taken in undue quan-tities, and at long intervals, acts as acathartic, and produces precisely differ-ent effect from what is wanted. Insteadof acting to promote the growth of boneand muscle, it depletes the system. Iftestimony were wanted as to the sanita-ry effect of salt, we might quote fromeminent chemists and physicists. Bous-singault, Liebig, Dr. Carpenter and oth-ers, who concur in acknowledging, thatsalt is necessary in warding off malariousand other diseases, murrain, black quar-ter, epizootic aptha, Spanish fever andother diseases that are sudden and fatalin their attacks.

I t is well known that salt is absolutelynecessary for the preservation of the or-ganic component paits of the blood ina healthy state, and especially so whenanimals are deprived of exercise, as infattening, when the danger of health isintensified by the excess of food given.The Western Rural has heretofore pointedout why salt was unnecessary to carniv-orous animals, for the reason that theyfeed upon the flesh of herbivorous ones,and the needed saline matters are con-tained in the flesh and blood of the prey.

Where salt is always within reach ofanimals they will tajte just what theywant and no more, and will consume lessthan they would if fed what they willconsume at intervals more or less irregu-lar. Man undoubtedly consumes moresalt in proportion to his living weightthan any other animal, more perhapsthan is absolutely necessary to perfecthealth, but animals can only get it at thewill of their masters, and are seldom al-lowed their own instinct as to the quan-tity consumed.

In the management oi> dairy stock, adue supply of salt where the cows 'canhave access to it at all times is of the firstnocessity. Besides the sanitary reason,given above, the milk of cows regularlysalted makes better and more* butter andcheese than those irregularly salted.Another important fact is worthy of at-tention, and that is, that unless animalsgiving milk drink largely "of water, thequantity of milk will be small. If fur-nished plenty of salt thirst is induced,and the extra water drank assists thuflow of milk very materially.

In winter again, the infrequent feedingof salt is highly injurious, for the excessivcj thirst produced when it is fed from thelarge quantity which the animal takes,causes the animal to drink inordinately,thus chilling the system, and shuttingoff that very secretion of milk for whichthe animal is kept. If, however, bothsalt and water be placed where the ani-mals will have access to them at all times,they will take both when wanted andamply repay the care and attention be-stowed.— Western Mural.

Horses ( i Rearing.''Roaring is a coltish trick which is gen-

erally lost as the horse grows older. Inslight cases it consists in the horse simplyrising a little before and then droppingagain, as if from p a y only; but in theworst form it is a systematic attempt tothrow the rider, and sometimes the horsegoes so far as to throw himself back aswell. When in an aggravated form it isa frightful vice, and with an inexperi-enced rider may b« attended with fatalmischief.

The remedy for this vice is the mar-tingale, which may be used with ringsrunning on the snaffle rein, or attacheddirectly by the ordinary billet and buck-le, or, again, by means of a runningrein which commences from the breast-strap of the martingale, and then run-ning through the ring of the snaffle witha pully-like action, it is brought back tothe hand, and it may thus be tightenedor relaxed, according to circumstances,so as to bring the horse's head absolute-down to his breast, or on the other handto give it entire liberty, without dis-mounting. With a determined brute,nothing short of this last kind will pro-vent rearing; and even it will fail insome cases, for there are some horseswhich rear with their heads betweentheir forelegs. Nevertheless they arerare exceptions, and with the majoritythe martingale in some form is efficacious.It should never be put on the curb-reinwith rearing, and indeed a curb is sel-dom to be used at all wiih horses addict-ed to that vice; they are always madeworse by the slightest touch of tho bit,and unless they are very much inclinedto run away, it is far better to trust to astraight bit or plain snaffle, which bynot irritating the mouth will often in-duce them to go pleasantly, where as amore severe bit would tempt them toshow their temper by rearing

Breaking a bottle of water betweenthe ears, or a severe blow in the samepart, may in some cases be tried, but thecontinued use of the martingale willgenerally suffice.—Prairie Farmer.

i. Vi'W Words about Horses.Hay and oats make the best feed for

horses that are obliged to work hard andregularly. If the hay is cut fine, and theoats bruised or ground, the whole mixedand moistened, the horse will eat his ra-tions quicker, digest them sooner, andthus havi: more time for resting and re-newing his power for labor. Farmers'horses that work but little during wintertime may be kept cheaper by cutting andmixing bright straw and hay in equalquantities, and adding a ration of steam-ed potatoes or raw carrots. Colts shouldbe fed quite liberally on good hay—brightclover is best—and bruised oats; givethem a roomy box-stall in stormyweather, and during nights. Litter free-ly, Miid do not let the manure accumulateunder them. Saw-dust or spent tanmakes good and convenient bedding ; incities and villages they are often clienperthan stiaw. Groom horses well, and letthem have exerciso every day ; a run inthe yard is excellent. See that thestable floors over basements are soundand strong. Arrange the feeding racksso that the dust and hay seed will notfall into«the horses'manes or eyes: somehorsemen build their mangers too high,thus forcing the animal to take an un-natural and painful position when eat-ing. Farm horses that are not workedshould have their shoes taken off, andthose that are driven on the road shouldbe kept well shod.

RAILWAY SPEED.—The London an-giueetr states that the highest railwayspeeds in the world are attained in En-gland, »nd that the highest of all isreached on the Great Western Railroad—the speed on the latter being givenroundly as fifty miles an hour, and theEngineer believes that it would be possi-bl <to lay permanent way so well, and tomaintain it in such excellent order, thattrains might travel on it with perfectsafety at one hundred miles an hour—indeed, miles upon miles of such tracksare now to be found on most of the greatmain lines, but nowhere can one hundredconsecutive miles of permanent way inperfection be found; and, as a chain isno stronger than its weakest link, so afew hundred yards of t ad track would

spoil for the purpose of traveling at onehundred miles an hour the whole line.The really important question, arguesthe Engineer, is, given the line mid carsfit for it, what shall the engine be like,and is it possible to construct, an engineat all which, with a moderately heavytrain, will attain and maintains veloci-ty of one hundred miles mi hour, on aline with no grade heavier then, say onein three hundred. After a thorough ex-amination of the question in all itsbearings, the Engineer'a figure* provethat it is absolutely impossible, to obtaina speed of one hundred miles an hour ona railway, if the resistance is anythinglike one hundred and twenty pounds perton.

A German SundayThe German's idea of Sunday is any-

thing but puritanic. It is the very op-posite. It is for them a flay of amuse-ment. I t U no unusual thing to be askedby a German on Monday morning," Well, how did you aniuso yourself j es-terday ?" There are those among theGermans, of course, who respect and keopthe Sabbath ; but then there are alwaysenough who do not; and to judge by thenumbers in which they frequent theirplaces of amusement on Sundaj, —theparks, beer-gardens, and public halls,—astranger might possibly be tempted to in-quire whether the Germans had any ideaof a Sabbath. Men, women, and chil-dron, older men with their wives, andyounger ones with their sweethearts,throng these places every (Sunday, andenjoy themselves, careless of what im-pression they make on their fellow-citi-zens of Ainerioau origin, to whom thesound of brass instruments on the Sab-bath air is anything but welcome or edi-fying. In the cold days of winter, whenthe parks and beer-gar.dens are drearyand shorn of their beauty, the Germanseeks amusement in some hall instead.Here he treats himself to a compound ofrather heterogeneous elements,—to music,beer and smoke ; and to all of them atonce. Any Sundaj' afternoon in tho coldof winter, you may find him, with hiswife or child, or both, in some large hall,one of a hundred or fivo hundred, smok-ing his meerschaum or his cigar, sippinghis beer, wine, or coffee, and listening toa selection from Meyerbeer or Beethoven.Were it summer, he would add the odorof roses to tho fumes of his tobacco andthe smell of his beer; for he is as fond offlowers as he is of any of these, and isnever happier than when the air, tremb-ling to the notes of tho orchestra, is re-dolent with tobacco smoke, the peifumeof the rose, heliotrope, and hop, and heis himself in the midst of them all.—At-Inntic Monthly far October.

Crossing tfce BlocxLBy crossing the blood we understand

the selection of a sire composed whollyof different blood from that of the dam,or as different as can be obtained of suchquality as is suitable to the particularpurpose in view. Thus, in breeding racehorses, it is found that continuing in thesame strain beyond two stages deteiior-ates the constitutional health, dimin-ishes the bone, and lowers the height;hence it is important to iivoid this evil,and another strain must bo aelpoted whichshall lead to the same results which werepreviously in existence, without theabove deterioration; and tins is t.rmedout-crossing, or, mcue commonly, cioss-iug.

The great difficulty is to obtai i t!.i:-object without destroying the haimonyof proportions, and due subordination ofone part to another, which is neiessuryfor the race horse, ami without wb c i heseldom obtains high speed. /. Lnostevery individual breed has peculiar char-acteristics, and so long as the si e «nddam are both in possession of them, theywill continue to reappear in the produce;but if a dam possessing them is put to ahorse of a different character, tlie resultis often that the produce is not ;i mediumbetween the two, but is in its ai tsriorparts like its dam, and in its poFt-riorresemblling its sire, or vice versa, thai]which no more unfortunate result canoccur.

Thus, wo will suppose that a verystrong, mnscnlar horse is put to a lightracing maie; instead of the produce be-ing moderately stout all over, he willoften be very stout and strong 1 ehind,

d very light and weak before, m l , asa consequence, his hind-quarters wli tirehis fore limbs, by fjiving them more todo than they have the power of accom-plishing.

Growing Clover to Coarse.It is sometimes objected to clover that

it is too Coarse as feed—this being thecase where it is grown on strong ground,making a large stalk. This can be reme-died by sowing thick, and thus (jetting afine stemmed crop, also shorter in length,the stalks varying from fifteen to twenty-five inches, according to the quality ofthe land, the season, and whether plasterhas been used, but the point is to sowthick—from ten to twelve quarts peracre—evenly scattered on mellow soiland brushed in if sown with spring grain.This forms a close growth, and mutt becut before it lodges much, and this isgenerally about the time of ttoweiing.Else if lodged badly, and permitted toremain for some time, it will part allyrot and lose some of its quality as a ieed.But harvested in time and well cured,there will be no deterioration of the his*hvalue which this plant has obtainedamong our best dairymeir. Time tonsper acre may be thus realized ; and if theseason is a good one, the amount may bedoubled by two cuttings; and covershould always be cut twice, each time atthe blossoming period. We prefer themedium size of June clover, as it is earlierand finer stemmed than the large kind,and less apt to lodge, and always peimitsof two cuttings.

Transplanting Trees.If we were asked the question what

causes the greatest number of failuresin removing trees, we should unhesitatingly answer, allowing the roots to be-come dry while out of the ground. Es-pecially is this tho case with the coniferaeor cone-bearing family, and, in faot, alltrpes with persistent or evergreen leaves.

Despite the oft-repeated cautions ofour leading horticultural writers—amounting in many instances to earnestpleading—the careless practice hiniert atis still adhered to by a large proportionof our planters, including many wlioinwe fear really know better. Scarcely aday passes during; the spring and autumnmonths that we do not notice trees andplants lying out waiting until tne work-men are ready to set them, although ex-posed to the combined influences of thewind and sun, which invariably causesrapid evaporation to take place. Iu themajority of instances the nurserymen areobliged to bear thebnrdeu of the failures—"for was not the planter careful in set-ting his specimens't hence previous disease must have been the cause."

Friends, never let the roots of yourtrees dry for one moment when out of theground. You migbt just as well keepyour favorito Cotswold and Durham fromthe water-trou^Vi and ezpeot them tothrive. Tramping the soil firmly pre-serves the roots moist after the planting,and a slight mulch over the surface ct.m-pletcs the work in a satisfactory manner.—N. Y. Tribune

Washington is repre-sented in the clothes and fashion of thepresent day, and with a moustache, carry-ing a cane and accompanied by a Skyeterrier, and is gazing atalady with a train,a Grecian bend and a hideous waterfall.

V i n e g a r Ditter* are not a vile Fancy Drink,made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and RefuseLiquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please thet.tste, called ''Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restorers,"&c, that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin,but are a true Medicine, made from the native rootsand herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.They are tlie Great Blood Purifier and a Life-givingPrinciple, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of theSystem, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoringthe blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshingand invigorating both mind and body. They are easyof administration, prompt in their action, certain in theirresults, safe and reliable in all forms of disease.

No P e r s o n can t a k e t h e s e B i t t e r s accord-ing to directions, and remain long unwell, providedtheir bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or othermeans, and the vital organs wasted beyond the pointof repair.

Dyspepsia o r I n d i g e s t i o n . Headache, Painin the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Diz-ziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Tastein the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of theHeart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions ofthe Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptom*,are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaintsit has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guar-antee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement.

F o r F e m n l e Compla in t s , in young or old,married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or theturn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided aninfluence that a marked improvement is soon percep-tible.

F o r I n f l a m m a t o r y a n d Chron ic R u e n -mat IK in and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious,Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of theBlood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters havebeen most successful. Such Diseases are caused byVitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derange-ment of the Digestive Organs.

T h e y a re a Gent le P u r g a t i v e as wel l asa Tonic , possessing also the peculiar merit of actingas a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam-mation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in BiliousDiseases.

F o r Sk in Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car-buncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Ery-sipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humorsand Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature,are literally dug up and carried out of the system in ashort time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle^nsuch cases will convince the most incredulous of theircurative effects.

Cleanse t h e Vi t i a t ed Blood whenever youfind its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob-structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it isfnul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the bloodpure, and the health of the system will follow.

Gratefu l t h o u s a n d s proclaim VINEGAR IWT-TKRS the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustainedthe sinking system.

Pin* Tape , a n d o t h e r W o r m s , lurking inthe system of so many thousands, are effectually de-stroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiol.ogist: There isscarcely an individual upon the face of theearth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.It is not upon the healthy elements of the body thatworms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimydeposits that breed these living monsters of disease.No system nf Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmin-itics, will free the system from wonn3 like these Bit-ters.

Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged inPaints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, willbe subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard againstthis take a dose of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS onceor twice a week, as a Preventive.

Bi l ious , R e m i t t e n t , a n d I n t e r m i t t e n tFe v e r s , which are so prevalent in the valleys of ourgreat rivers throughout the United States, especiallythose of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten-nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos,Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roan-oke, James, and many others, with their vast tributa-ries, throughout our entire country during the Summerand Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons ofunusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompaniedby extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, andother abdominal viscera. There are always more or lessobstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable stateof the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, beingclogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat-ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence uponthese various organs, is essentially necessary. There isno cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER'SVINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove thedark-coloVed viscid matter with which tlie bowels areloaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions ofthe liver, and generally restoring the healthy functionsof the digestive organs.

Scrofula, o r K i n g ' s Kvl l , White Swellings,Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, ScrofulousInflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af-fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes,etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis-eases, WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS have shown theirgreat curative powers in the most obstinate and intract-able cases.

Dr . W a l k e r ' s Cal i fornia V i n e g a r B i t t e r sact on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifyingthe Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving awaythe effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits)the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cureis effected.

The p roper t i e s of DR. WALKER'S VINEGARBITTERS are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative,Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irri-tant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious.

The Aper ien t and mild Laxative properties ofDR. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS are the best safe-guard in all cases of eruptions and malignant fevers,their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protectthe humors of the fauces- Their Sedative propertiesallay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels,either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc.Their Counter-irritant influence extends throughoutthe system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid-neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. TheirAnti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre-tion of bile, and its discharges through the biliary ductsand are superior to all remedial agents, for the cure ofUilious Fever, Fever and Ague, etc.

For t i fy t h e body a g a i n s t disease by puri-fying all its fluids with VINEGAR BITTERS. NO epi-demic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. Theliver, the stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, and thenerves are rendered disease-proof by this great invig-orant.

Directions.—Take of the Bitters on going to bedat night from a half to ona and one-half wine-gla*sfiill.Eat good nourishing food, such as beefsteak, muttonchop, venison, roast beef, and vegetables, and taktout-door exercise. They are composed of purely veget-able ingredients, and contain no spirit.J.WALKER, Prop'r. R. H. McDONALD & CO.,Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, Cal.,
