4 Phn,e of Iondon LIre.

A curious Sunday scene in London is de-
scribed by the Times:
Every Sunday morning, It seems, about
10 o'clock, "a crowd 81 men uud boys take
possession Of four streets within a few
minutes walk of the Great Eastern Rail
way station, at Shoreditch. They belong
10 the toughest class, and they bring with
them tor sale the most nOndescllpt cOllec-
ton of articles. Birds are the most nu-
merous, and. from the scene, is called the
Shoreditch Bird Fair. Birds Of all kinds
are to be found singing birds, common
English birds, rare foreign birds, manuiuc-
tured birds, with real bodies aud false
heads, or dyed birds, made beautiful for
ever by Shoreditch Rachels.
But the bird buffers are only the cen
ter of the fair. We read of dogs, mice, an
atomicnl ponies, broken down pemmbula-
tors, old keys, locks, and hardware, con
c]ertines and fddles. The crowd, too, like
an army brings its vendors Of pies and
ginger-beer, low betting men, and even a
street preacher whose quality may be i'm
agined from his title OF "Black Jenny the
Cutler"
Beer and spirits cannot be openly sold.
for II IL Sunday and the hour of 'Diyine
Service" aud the public houses and beer
shops are shut. But the restriction is cas-
lis evnded. Holes are cut in partition
walls, through which the drink is passed
10 the n~eighboring houses. Where two
streets are parallel 1t is easy TO admit Gus.
toners into the back yard through the OPP
posite house; and, IN fact, the police have
found parties of men sitting in the yards
of public houses with barrels of beer by
their side. The buying and selling ut the
iuir IL conducted with the usual noise and
I aamal fl $1,000 nWa lA..1aaA Ll..--sA
and blasphemy.
And all this on Sunday morning between
10 and ] o'clock, and under the very shad
ow of two churches, which are 30 near tina
the shouts and cnrses Of the fair intermp
!, the worship OF the congregations, and ia.
I sound Of the church organs is heard ami,
I the iudecenCies Of the crowd.
5 Elaborate and ingenious devices ar
adopted for the purpose Of obtaining liquo
% during the sales. There are in tho paris
s of St Matthias, with 5000 inhabitants, l
public-houses and Z beer-shops, and in th
q Holy Trinity Mission district a simila
number. 1t is against the beer-shop keeT
ers principally that the police have TO COZ
: tend IN their efforts 10 prevent the illegi
trade on Sunday mornings. Arrangement
e are made with the people Of ~neighborin
g houses, so that the beer is passed OF
, through the lattor 10 those who demand i
and in some cases, n beer-house situated i
one street has a means of communicate
through its back yard with another hou'
in a different thoroughfare.
One Sunday four policemen made the
) way into one OF these places, and foun
about so or 60 men sitting in n yard wit
two barrels of beer In their immediate Y
cinity. Cases like this are frequent, br
the difficulties in the way OF preyentin
beer-shop keepers from obtaining license
are 80 great that the police are eomparl
lively powerless. When summoned, th
offenders are fined, but they are seldoI
deferred by that from a repStition of th
the offense.

CATTLE DISEASE -NEw THEORY. Mr..
jeremiah Pratt, Of Chicago, an old farmer,
has written Il letter in which he
his belief that the cause of the lately pre-
vailing cattle disease is what he calls
pack" in the manylolds, or third stomach
Of cattle, This is caused, he thinks, when
weakened or very hungry, eating an over
quantity OF fresh iced, particularly if it be
wet or moist, as with dew, which food is
not digested, and becomes impected in the
third stomach. As II preventive he ad-
yises that the cattle be well fed while in
transit, and in case this cannot be done,
that they be not allowed to eat freely when
turned into flush" feed, not being allowed
10 cat more than twenty minutes at first,
and being fed ut intervals for ten or twelve
hours. As Il remedy he advises giving,
when an affected animal is first discovered,
half an ounce of aloes, in a quart OF water
in some whisky, once an hour, until there
is a passage. Soft soap thinned with water,
or a slice or two of tat pork, lac also recon-
| mends.

Philosophy, grammar aud logic;
You'll teach her 20 read. of course, too.

Mathematics arc down In my plan,
But Of figures she scarce has an inkling,
Pray instruct her In those If you can.
ia have her taught Spanish and Latin,
Including the language Of fraucei
Never mind her very bad Enrlish,
Teach her that when You have a good chance
On the harp she must be proficient,
And play the guitar pretty soon
And sing the last opera music,
Even though she %cnn'tturn q right tune.
You must see that her manners are finished,
That she moves with a Hebe.hke grace
For though sho Is lame and one sided,
That's nothing 10 do with the case.
Now 10 you l resign this young Jewel
And my words / would have you obey;
In six months returu her, dear madam,
Shining bright as an unclouded day.
She's no aptness, / grant YOU for learniugi
And her memory Oft seems to halt
But remember ii she's not accomplished,
Il will certainly all be your fault.

The journey from New York overland to
San Francisco can now be made in ten or
eleven days; thus-to Chicago, a day and q
half; Chicago to Omaha, u day; Omaha to
Bryan con or near Green River, the pres
ent public terminus OF the Union Pacific
Railroad, two days; from Bryan to Salt
Lake, one day by stage; from Salt Lake
to Wadsworth, the present end of the
California or Central Pacific Rail-
road, by stage, four days; from
Wadsworth by rail 10 San Francisco,
one day and a half eleven days, of which
five days are in stage, and balance in cars.
But the fare is enormous-Sl30 TO Salt
Lake, aud $3.50 through TO the Pacific.
BY steamer ana the Isthmus it is less.
Whether Bryan, o the terminal town OF

so during the winter depends upon the

ATTEMPT TO MURDER n MAN ron GETTING
MARRIED. Getting married is always Il
very serious proceeding, and, in the case
Of Felix Samuels, a Detroit lawyer, it
threatened to prove fatal. About two
months ago he welded a Michigan lady
who was much disliked by certain relatives
of his in New York city. An organized
opposition was set at work 10 effect n di-
vorcc, but their efforts all proved fruitless.
Enruged at their disappointment, the
auuts aud uncles determined upon "A differ
ent method Of procedure. Snmuels was
decoyed to New York, and every argument
piled TO induce him to abandon his wife.
Finding that he still chung 10 his first love,
Il modicum OF strychnine was placed in
some whisky and given him to drink. He
accepted the drought, became at once in
sensible, and was carried into a field to
die. Fortunately, the proprietor OF the
ground witnessed the operation aud took
prompt measures to rescue the sufferer,
which happily proved efiectual. Mr..
Samuels regained his faculties just in time
to learn from a New York paper that he
had committed suicide. He is ON the eve
OF commencing legal proceedings against
his would-be-murderers.

STARS CHANGING THEIR CoLoR.-It is u
well established fact that stars change their
color. Sirius was described rs a fiery red
star by the ancients; some years ago il was
II pure white, while 1t is now becoming Of
a decided green color. Capella was also
called n red star by the ancients; IL was af-
terward described as n yellow star, and il
now blush. Many other instances Of
change of color, though less decided, have
been detected.

An English paper says that among the
curious local customs still prnctised in Der
byshire is one which was kept up for one
hundred and forty years ut Hilton Hall.
On the first day of the yearthe lord of the
manor of Essington brought n goose to the
hall, and drove it three times around the
fire, after which he carried it TO the table,
and received a dish of it for his own use.
This droll proceeding was only disoontin-
ued when the manora came under one lord.
At Walsall there is an annual adult scram-
ble; for here n custom exists of throwing
ont apples and nuts from the Town Hall,
on st. Clements day, to be scrambled fer
by the people. Happy are the boys that
are born in Walsalll AT Wichner, the
same custom that has prevailed at Dunmow
was once in use, and a wooden fitch Of
bacon still hangs in the hall. In this case
it was John of Gaunt who instituted the
custom by arranging that the owner of the
hall Should hold the tenure in virtue Of
his keeping q fitch Of bacon always ready
for any married pair who had been married
n year and u day and would take the follow
ing oath: "Here We, Sir Philip de Somer-
vile, Lord OF Nychenor, mayntenor and
