Ward, the sculptor, has completed his
model of the great monument ordered by
(he city of Brooklyn, to commemorate
the, wars of the republic. It is to be a
very elaborate structure of granite and
bronze, eighty feet in height, and will
cost from $250,000 to $300,000.
The suffering and loss of cattle in the
Southwest the past winter will tend to
revolutionize the cattle business, thinks

public sentiment is against largo herds,
and, as the country is rapidly settling

receive better care.
An experiment in tea culture has been
,.a a nhnrn Pltumr oAitn^c
where plantation .’ ' set - ’ '
a was out some
years ago. There are about fifty tea
plants which have for several years been
producing tea that is pronounced of
fowl quality. Further experiments will
tie made with tea-seed, aud the result
will be watched with interest.
Milling is another interest that is im
sroving in tlie South. During last year
•early 150 mills have been erected in the
Southern States, not including grist

Arkansas and Mississippi have erected one

The subject of baldness is once more
under discussion,and we are told,remarks
the Boston Courier, that one-halfof all

transmitted from father to son, it is fair

The Zoarites are a very peculiar peo
pie, who live in Ohio and hold the prop
j rrty in common. They are as odd as the
, Bhakers or the Oneida community. I heir
views of property are much the same as
those bodies hold, but thr ir practices as
to married life are different. The com
munity had . , its . origin ... about seventy-five .
years ago in Wurtemburg, Germany. Far
a good while after the colony came to
this country marriage was considered an
irregularity. The cholera < if 1882 madi
frightful ravages among them. They
then began to consider the propriety of
marriage. They esteemed it wrong to
to go outside t^pjl contract marriages
among the world’s people, and so they
married among themselves. They are
now the largest and most prosperous com
munistic society in the United States,and
are exceedingly thrifty in their business
affairs. They own ten or twelve thou¬
sand acres of land, and are superior far
mars und millers. They believe in a mil
Ionium of peace and glory, prior to which
the gospel will be preached , , all over the ,,
world. Their religions services are much
tha same as those of the leading Protest,
ant denominations.
A horrible affair at Portempedocle,
near Girgenli, Italy, gives an illustration
of the use of the knife in the island of
Sicily. Two butchers, father and son, of
the, name of Indelicate, who kept, a shop
in Hint town, not long since took t wo
brothers named Alfonso and Giovanni
Catmetoni into partnership, to eual ile
them the better to compete with a rival
establishment. At first there was a great
show of friendship between the partners,
Imt before long the Cannetonis began to
trade in lambs’carcasses separately on
their own account, and disagreements
arose, which ultimately led to a collision
between Bahhissare Jndelieato and Al
fouso Catmetoni. T\ ^^ hew their
butcher's knives from thou* belts on each
other, Alfonso aimed a well-directed
blow at Biddassare. j j,. mierjed it with

and at tho same instant drove his kmic
into the heart of Alfonso, who fell dead
on the spot. At that moment a young
of Alfonso, aged nineteen, came up

Baldassave struck him lo the ground,and
then out liis throat across, “as he would

rage, Baldassare then rushed into the

Sweet friend, when thou and I art gone
Beyond earth’s weary lalx>r,
When small shall he our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor,
Passed all the strife, the toil, the care,
And done with all the sighing—
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas! by simply dying'
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Khali no defect discover;
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I.
Era love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home—
Be patient with the living!
To-day’s repressed rebuke may save
Our blinding tears to-morrow;
Then patience e'en when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrow.

Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory’s mystic glamor;
But wise it were for thee and me,

To take the tender lesson home—

DHEAMERS.
True, they are fools who idly dream
Of unborn years;
I When time for each holds back some stream
Of unshed tears.
They love to picture sunny skies
And happy hours—
The earth a second Paradise
Of lovely flowers.
When sunbeams are but transient guests,
Joy dies in gloom;
And all the plants on nature's breast
Soon lose their bloom.
Each hut a palace, and each maid
An angel fair;
When angels prone to change or fade
Are very rare.
They dream of wealth while at the gates
Of want’s domain,
And o’er broad mythical estates
Hold kingly reign.
And yet these fools, who idly dream,
Are happier far
Than those who judge, with pride supreme,
Things as they are.

They Forgot the Curve.
During the recent struggle of toe
Union Pacific with the snow blockade a
newly appointed official in. the mechan¬
ical department of the road found occa¬
sion to make of himself a first-class butt
for ridicule. The story, as toid by one
of his subordinates, is this, in brief.

The force could not be brought into a

in the problem
decided that it would be a fine scheme
to have engines coupled together by
means of long timbers placed on either
side, and riveted strongly to each loco
motive. In this way all the engines
would move at once against the drift and
scatter it to the four winds of heaven.
The scheme was tried. Everything went
swimmingly until a sharp curve was met.
The engines being coupled of together m a
manner which left no play action, it
was impossible to round the curve. Be

was too late, and every o.ne of the five
engines was ditched .—Oiruuta Heratd.
