sas~It is chioce cows, sheep, horses

but they want good clover and pca-hay

stock-growing is the attempt to rear
fine hogs, cattle and sheep on scanty

| The pavement of the interior is black

ing, through which the gold and silver
coin, bullion and jewels, are conveyed to
the treasury below. This last mentioned
place is an extensive vault, divided into
compartments of equal size, i'll each OF
which is the value of a million piastres.
The nett produce of the taxes is lodged
in the treasury every three months. The

DEATH OF THOMAS DEQUISCEY.-Thc
Manchester Guardian of the 10th nlt.,
announces the death of Thomas DeQuin-
ccv. of Edinburg, and says:
death has blotted out another great
name from the catalogue of English
authors. Thomas DcQuinccy died on
Thursday. This distinguished and vol
uminous writer was born III our W city
about the year l7S6; but he left Man
chester early in life. Since 1913, he has
resided in, or in the ncighborhood of
Edinburg. and in the modern Athens he
breathed his last. For a considerable
/ period before his death, he was engaged
in editing a perfect collection of his pro
auctions. which, as has been well OBJ
served. had previously been buried in the
periodical literature of his generation
| and il will be some satisfaction TO m'
| admirers to know that he lived long
enough to complete the work to which
his fading energies were applied. Like
Leigh Hunt. who has just passed iron
among us, Mr.. DeQuincey was one o
the few relics left us of m of the mos
brilliant ages of English literature. liz
was one of the friends of Coleridge
Southev and Wordsworth; and-wlt
perhaps the exception of Lander an
Brougham-may be regarded as the las
of that noble array of men of letters VIII
