Several of the cars were double-decked for the calves and smaller stock. In less they improve greatly on the prarie grass in Texas, the venture will hardly be a profitable one to the consignees, Mrs. Myra Ci.auki. Gaines, the plaintiff in a suit just won against the city of New Orleans for nearly $2,000, 000, is an elderly lady who has long been a litigant for a large part of New Orleans’ real estate, and is one of the most persevering women of modern times. But as she is well advanced in years now, and'*- her case must next go to the I'nited States supreme court, it is to be feared that the claim will have to lie collected, if collected at all, by the next generation of heirs.

Fish Commissioner Pierce, of Penn sylvania, thinks that there is a great deal of money wasted by tne Govern¬ ment trying to stook with salmon and bass streams which, by reason of the clearing away of the forests and the cultivation of the land, have become en tiiely unfit for such fish, their waters having become warm and muddy. He M, ,a irry r«—sing or ‘Mien strei.-i “misdirected labor and expenditure wh ich is almost a total loss.” It is prob able that Mr. Pierce is right. Bass and salmon do not like muddy water.

Robert P. Porter, a member of the late Tariff Commission, is w riting Scotland to the Tribune a series of letters from relative to the mechanics and laborers in the iron trad.-. He says that in the Wst mills of Coatbridge the average weekly earnings If he of the is married laborer are he from 18s. to 20 a, pays from £5 to .CO a year for a house. If lie is single he can obtain board and lodgings for about 10s. a week. T hese lodgings are on what might be called the Box-aiul-Pox plan; that is, the “night hands” occupy tlie beds by day, and tlic “day bands" by night, beds by this process doing double service. much Ot course t he laborer cannot get meat, as the prices of provisions an' the same as in Glasgow. The mill hands earn, some as high ns 35s.. but I found from the books of the largest firms in Coat¬ bridge that the average weekly earnings of an engineer did not exceed 29s., or 87. Boys and young men make from 8s. to 10s. a week. Fi/xuws—The dosing weeks of 1882 will lie long reun mberod floods in Europe on ’ account of the destructive in some vf the great rivers.

A Judge's Suggestion Patented.

The Chief-Justice, by the way, has considerable mechanical ingenuity, and, after studying a moment, and called for some pieces of board a piece of cloth, and explained to the dealer how he would cover the tables, and thought nothing more of it. It has since lveen ascertained that the suggestion of the Chief-Justice was followed, and that he now finds that there is pending for in tlie Patent Office an application a patent based on his ideas. -• A xorso politician explained the tat tered condition of his browsers to his father by stating that he was sitting under an apple tree enjoying himself, and when the farmer's dog came along contested his seat Jay GouM at 1hc Pir.y. 1 -^eemium boxes. 1 notified h.muiitilxnoneoftheaftecmg e erodes wife winch the Snver Kuig after I had ^r the fifteenth or twentieth time taken off my glares e ™P e “7 W s ’ 1 chanced to turn and m lUnrtmtom » “ w of the text with which T I be- .

In a paper on agricultural Association, statistics, Air. read before the British W. Botly gave some interesting facts concerning the food supply of Great Britain and the Continent, as follows: “At present tho food supply produced month’s in Europe is equal to about eleven consumption, but in a few years the de¬ ficit will be sixty instead of thirty days. The present production and consump¬ tion arc: Grain consumption in the United Kingdom, 607,000,000 bushels; Continent, 4,794,000,000; total 5,401, 000,000.

Goutl nent ia unable to feed its own population, we must in the future look to some other hemisphere for the needful supply, rather than to the supposed surplus of Russia, Hungary, Holland or Denmark. Europe paid last year £35,000,000 for foreign meats, and £85,000,000 for grqin, a sum equivalent to a tax of £10,000,000 per month. In the United Kingdom, the importation of meat, including cat¬ tle, has risen as follows: 1860, 91,230 tons, value, £4,390,000; per inhabitant, 7 pounds; 1870, 144,225 tons; value, £7,- 708,000; per inhabitant, 10 pounds; 1880, 650,300 tons; value, £26,612,000, or 40 pounds for each inhabitant. ” Arms and Legs. There is more pity in a wooden leg but more eloquence in an empty sleeve I remember that in the second day’s fight before Richmond, a captain by tlie name of Coward saw tlie sergeant shot down and the colors fall, and he caught up the flag and waved it high and ball for¬ ward with a shout, and a cannon came whizzing along and took off Lis arm, and the colors fell again. Ho caught them with his other hand and kept on until he fell himself. I never saw us brave a man with that sort of a name tacked onto him. He always when signed his name A. Coward, and asked why he didn’t sign his full name, he said his full name was Adam, and when lie used to sign it that way at school the boys called him a blanked coward, which was worse, and he had to fight out of it. Gen. Dick Taylor didn't have much opinion of a man’s wanted legs. He says his own trembled and to ran in every battle, and he knew a brave soldier who had to talk to keep ’em steady : -‘Now, just look at you, gone to j off shaking What again, with the in such enemy a a hurry mile are you about? Can’t you wait until they be¬ gin to shoot at you, you cussed cow¬ ards ?” and he would rap his knees with his sword like he was ashamed of ’em.— Bum Art. The Youngest Soldier. Mr. William H.

A Hit of Advice that .Hay be Followed to Advaataxe. To become a husband is as serious -a matter to a man as it is for a woman to become a wife. Marriage is no child’s play; it brings added care, trial, per¬ plexity, vexation, and it requires a great deal of happiness which legitimately balance springs out of it to make the in its favor. Very few people live hap¬ pily in marriage, and yet this is not be¬ cause unhappiness is germane to this re¬ lation,-but because those who enter it do not know, first, how to get married, and, second, how to live married happily. You have already made your choice— wisely, I am bound to believe. These qualities of character which have at¬ tracted you to choose as you have, should make your love glow daily while you live together. the second point: If wish As to you to live in harmonius union with your wife, start out with that avowed recog¬ nition of the fact that she is your com¬ panion and co-partner. Marriage usually In makes the wife neither of these. many instances, she sees less of her hus¬ band than before she married him. He comes, he goes, he reads, thinks, works, and under the stimulus of business brings all his powers and faculties to the surface, and is developed thereby—not vigorously always always symmetrically, harmoniously, but but with in¬ not creasing power. Married men do not usually shrivel up or put on a look of premature age, but women frequently do. do, and it is plain to me why they houses, Married women are shut up in and their chief care is for things Their that have no inspiring influences. time is taken up in meeting the physi¬ cal necessities of their families-—cooking, washing dishes, keeping tho house in order, sewing, receiving it 7i company—not tendency ne of which has in even to culture and elevation. Married wo¬ men are devoted to the house, and this means a life of vexation and pettiness. It gives no sort of stimulus to the spirit. So the husband, who is out of doors, * notive, interested in measures which affect the public good, than coming him¬ into contact with men greater self, who inspire him to better purposes and nobler ends of labor, develops into manly beauty and grows iu character, while his wife at home, who has as faith¬ fully performed her share of the work, withers and decays wife prematurely. yourself Treat your exactly if as bad would like to be treated you to live under her circumstances, and you will not go far wrong. Do not entertain the silly notion different that because she is of a gender from your own that she is there¬ fore different in her wants, feelings, qualities and powers, Do not be the victim of any social policy. Stand up bravely for the right, give your wife a chance to live, glow and he somebody and become something. Try to be thoughtful, will have considerate duties, and forbearing. will You bring trials. new Take and they health new and hers.

Horses can bo educated to the extend of their understanding as well as chil¬ dren, and can be easily damaged or be¬ ru¬ ined by bad management. It is lieved that the great difference found in horses as to habits of reliability comee more from the different management of men than from variance of natural dispo sition in the animals. Horses with met¬ tle are more easily educated Ilian those of less or dull spirits, and are more sus¬ ceptible to ill-training, and consequently may be good or bad, according to the education they receive. Horses with dull spirits are not by any means proof against bad management, for in them may often be found tho habits most provoking different obstinacy, vicious of character that render them almost en¬ tirely worthless. Could the coming gen¬ eration of horses in this country be kept from their-days of colt hood to the age of 5 years in the hands of good, careful managers there would be seen a vast difference in the general character of the noble animals. If a colt is never allowed to get an ad¬ vantage, it will never know that it pos¬ sesses power that man cannot control, and is made familiar with strange objects it will not be skittish and nervous. If a horse if made accustomed from his heels, early days to have objects hit on his back and hips, lie will pay no attention to tho giving out of harness or of a wagon running against him at an be unex- fired pected moment. A gun can from the back of a horse, an umbrella held over his head, a buffalo robe thrown over his neck, a railroad engine sticks,, pass close by, his heels bumped with and the animal take it all as a natural condition of things, if only taught by be careful management that he will not injured thereby.
