.Swy1ncss Of Men.-It is said that men
who are used to it will outrun horses, by
holding their speed longer. A man will
also walk down horse, for after he has
travelled few days, the horse will be quito
tired, but the man will be as fresh for mo-
ton as at the beginning. The kings mes
sengers walk to lspahan, lO9 miles, in IA
hours. Hottentots outstrip lions in the
chase, and savages who hunt the elk, tire
it down and take it; they are said to have
performed a journey Of $500 in less than
six weeks.

Great Britain, to each soul, 1-11th
Prussia, s. 1-10th
Denmark, i" 18th
Austria, 4" l 10th
France, 4" 18th
Spain, {" 1-42th
In the United States, of horses there
are about $500, 000-whch is to each
soul, 18th. This is also larger proper
ton than thatof Europe. The comparison in
swine is interesting.
The proportion Of hogs to each soul is:
England, 1-4th
Prussia, 18th
Denmark, 10th
Austria, 10th
France, 1-7th
Spain, 1-13th
In the United States, the total number
Of swine, is about $1,000, 00O-which is
TO each soul, 18th; far greater than any
country of Europe. ........ ~.
The number OF hogs in the United States
is greater than in all England, France,
Prussia, Austria, Spain, Denmark, Bava-
ria, and the Netherlands, making popu
lation exceeding one hundred and twenty
millions.
OF sheep, the proportion in Europe, to
each is thus:
Great Britain, Q
Prussia, 3-4ths
Denmark, ODDS
Austria, 2-6ths
France, -. 1-1Oth
Spain, . 1
In the United States, the number is 49,
600, 00O-theproportion is 18th, In this
article, England is in advance Of the Uni
ted States. In the State Of New York
however, the proportion of sheep is as
high as in England.
There is, however, another aspect 10
this comparison. What is the relative
product per acre? We have not the means
of knowing the number of acres of arabic
land in the United States but there are
some local statistics from which we can
gather something.
The number Of acres of improved land
in the State of New York, is abou,
100000
In Great Britain, 9S,00O,000
1.-The proportion is nearly 10 TO L.
The grain raised of tbs kinds mention
ed, is in New York, $4,000, 900
In Great Britain, 262, 0OO,O 900 |
The proportion in New York is the
greatest.
Cattle in New York, 2,642, 900
Great Britain, 10000, 900
Sheep in New York, 5,3sl,OO0
6 Great Britain, 100000
In grain, cattle. and sheep, then, the
State of New York raises more per acre
than Great Britain. |

II appears, then, that the northern part
of Germany raises much larger portion
of grain than either England, France, or
Spain.
In the United States, the amount Of the
same grains (wheat, barley, rye and oats
raised, is in the aggregate about 81, OO0,-
600 bushels-to each soul about 1S1 BUSH
els. The United States, then, raise more
grain than any country in Europe, ex-
cePt Denmark, and much more than the
averaged produces in Europe.

A PURsUIT.-No human being, however
exalted his rank and fortune, however en-
larged and cultivated his understanding,
can long be happy without pursuit. Life
is ladder on which we climb from hope
10 hope, and, by expectation, strive to as
cend to enjoyments; but he who fam
cies he has reached his highest hope
is miserable, indeed, or who enjoys
the utmost Of his wishes: for many who
have been most successful in their res
pective undertakings, have given the
gIoomiest description Of the emptiness Of
human pleasures. The pursuit alone can
yield true happiness; and the most tri-
fling object that has power to fascinate the
hopes Of man, is worthy of his attention.

A DEAR JoKE.-An old physician once
said to a young man who had just completed
his medical studies and commenced prac-
tice," There sir, you see that dogs tail,
curls," pointing TO a large dog, "now sir,
| want you to straignten his tail, and | will
you credit for greater knowledge in SUR
gerry than think you now possess" The
young man proceeded Immediately TO strait
ghten the dogs tail, and placed it between
strong splinlers and bandages. He visited
his patient every day and put on new spin
tiers and bandages. On the ninth day he
called, but the dog could not be found:
wherefore he CONCLUDED he had Strengthened
his tail, and brought in his bill for nine
visits, 500. The old doctor refused to pay
it, but suit was brought, and the amount
charged was recovered. ,.4 ,.r

Denmark and England have much the
largest portion Of cattle, though Russia,
not included in the above, has nearly as
large portion of cattle as England. In
the United States, the number of cattle is
about 1880, 000-to each soul, 4-5ths.
The proportion. again, is nearly or quite
as high as that of Denmark, and higher
than the average Of Europe. But if we
examine particular States, we find some
that have larger number of cattle in pro-
portion than any part Of Europe. Thus,
in Vermont and New York, there are
more cattle than there are living souls.
OF horses, the European proportion is

last moments of the great man from his own fami.

third document is the news OF the pAcifcation of
New Grenada, at last, communicated by the minis
ter Of that Republic to ours. The fourth is the
decree of Congress, permitting, under some re.
strictions, the return Of the conspirators Of the Re.
~volution of the eighth of July, 1885. In fact, the
said revolution saved this country from others, and
has excited a love of tranquility throughout Vene-
zuela, and II is TO be belle we'd that we shall be free
from those repeated commotions that have so often
disturbed the progress Of the South American Re.
