Tax mania for inreetlng in celtle ranches
still rages among our English and Scotch cous
ins, end es heretofore, it is peculiarly affected
by the notebilitise. The latest joint stock en
terprise of this nature presents a string of
titled nemos; the capital stock is fixed at $3,-
750,-000; end the vendors or promoters agree
not to receive any dividends on their shares in
the first three years, unless the common stock
earnsdp4r cent. Entei prises of this class have
practically superceded our railroads and, in
deed, all other American devices to secure the
aid of English capital tn developing the hal
cyon West.
Ocr sister republic of Mexico is running too
rapid it schedule. Hhe bee embarked in tn
ambitious scheme for establishing lines of
stesmireto European ports on the subsidy
plan, end concessions have been made to an
other company with e view to establishing s
racifie service. At a time when the Mexican
treasury, is empty, shifthe government Is ow
ing heaven end earth to borrow e few millions
abroad to enable it to keep out of bankruptcy
and meet its subventions to tho new lines ol
railway, it ia folly to recklessly pledge its credit
for the promotion of visionary speculative
projects. Without moro economy our neigh
bor will be compelled to make an assignment,
and In that event Uncle Bam will be the as-
aignee.
Dr. Paul Von Bedoxwitz, in a recent article,
take* the position that the mind, like the mus
cle# and other physical organs, is strengthened
by exercise, and that there is no eulture within
the reach of the human intellect sufficiently
extreme to overthrow the reason. That thers
are physical and mental degenerations he ad
mits, but he is not willing to attribute them to
the excess of mental culture. On the contrary
he believes they are caused by physical agen
cies, such aa alcohol, the various forms of nar-
cotio drugs, and peasibly tobacco, tea and cof
fee. These things are now within the roach ot
all classes, and they are moro extensively used
than ever before. This fact would seem tc
bear out the doctor's view that the increase in
mental diseases is due to physical rather than
to purely intellectual causes.
A riiAcTicAL joker may not be a crank, hut
he is fully #8 dangerous and just as much of a
nuisance. ' He is always shooting people with
unloaded pistols, and frightening women into
iits by playing ghoct, and in short there is no
end to his idiotic freaks. Home ids# of the
extent of the practical juke business may be
formed when it is stated tktt a Now York cigar
house keeps several hands constantly busy
making innocent looking cigars with their inte
riors charged with gunpowder, so arranged aa
to cause an expioaiou after the smoker has en
joyed two or three pnffs. These oigars are
ordered from Maine tn Texas, from Sonth Car
olina to California. O'Donovan Rosaa'a boast
that lie had sent tn England a lot of explosive
cigars to blow np Gladstone and his cabinet
may not be an idle one. There is no telling
wlist damage might result from a box of cigsre
ail charged with dynamite.

Ir wo denude our hills and slopes of the for-

less than fifty years we may expect to sco hall

area. The rain will wash the soil from the
hilltops first, and then from the elopes. The
naked rooks now covered with loam and clay
will be laid bare, and will reflect tho rays of
the sun and increase the summer heat; storms
will blow unobstructed over the-Ubuntry, end
every change of the wind will canae ad abrupt
cliango in the temperature. The rainfall will
be diminished end become irregular. Periodi
cal freshets will carry away the best part of the
soil, even from the valleys. These unavoidable
results of the further devastation of timber

style, but it must be admitted th at women are
far ahead when it comcB to letter writing. Tho
letters of such famous women as Mme. de Se-
vigne, Mme. Recomier, Mme. Boland, I,ady
Mary Wortlcy Montague, Mias Bussell and oth
ers are unrivaled and unapproached by any
existing efforts of male pens. Women of or
dinary intellectual capacity writo charming
letters, witty, jaunty, dashed with the individ
ualism of the writer, and characterized by the
vivacity, piquancy, tact, grace and personalty
common to the gentler sex. Fortunately logic
has no place in ' letter writing, and a woman
may be as fresh, natural and gossipy as she
pleases. Of late years it has been remarked
that the women who eucced iu journalism are
generally correspondents. The letter will al-
waps be an important feature in literature and
in journalism. It is conversation on paper,
and allows full play for egotism and arrogance.

Quite a sc ‘no occurred in the Home. Mr.

renewed his cliarg<^s against iiovornor Mur
ray of Utah. Ho was called to orJor, and
the speak *r said h ) thought that tho remark?
of tho gentleman were not relevant to the
bill. Mr. Whitp said that the difference be
tween the Nweaker and himself was that
while ho had Ihjoii endeavoring b» defend
tho rights of the pooieit people in
his Htato, the N|>eakor had been
endenvoiing to get bis bills through
Congress for tho biggest whisky monopolies
in the Htato of Kentucky. Mr. Miller do-
maiuled that those word* oe taken down as
uniMirliamontary. The H^iaker said he do*
tired that the woids should not he Uken

there the matter rested... Twenty-eight pen
