OLE Bulls CONCERT at Metzerott Hall last
night was great success except in one par
ticular. but that could not be helped. Long
before the hour of commencement the window
for the sale of tickets was closed and notice
put up, that all the chairs were taken and no
more tickets would BE- sold. Thus about five
hundred persons were turned away disap-
pointed. Everything possible was done to
meet the demands of the public, but it was i'm
possible. Not only was The body of the hall
filled, but the platform was densely packed,
leaving only room enough fer the performers.
We trust that the great violInst may BE- in
duced TO yield to the general request for a repe-
tition of the concerts at an early day. His
wonderful playing was enthusiastically ap-
plauded last night.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Money Is I'm more active demand in New
York, and most of the banks ask per cent. on
new transactions, although there is no general
calling in of outstanding loans at per cent
There is rather more application for discounts,
and the banks pretty generally decline the brst
names below per cent. On the street the rate
for prime names is 7a7 \ per cent. Government
securities are weak and lower. Yesterday. at
the noon call, there was general decline of
kat In the prices bid. The decline of per
cent. in Five-twenties at London, together with
the fall of gold below $40, produced general
disposition to realize upon the exportable bonds.

Total. -. .$5l ,4O5,5O0

The total Of the taxable property IN
this same year was $555,442,Ol2. So it
appears that ten men already own about
one-senth of all ; and one hundred men
might own the whole of the city had their
fathers and they done as these have done.
The highest tax paid ON the list amounted
to 1858, lao, and the lowest to $22,67o.
Either of them very pretty fortunes in
most quarters of the habitable globe. 70
gether, these ten paid taxes to the amount
Of 81, l82,s26.
To help the non-millionaire to under
stand this thing fully, it is we'll to say
that these figures of ifty-one and halt
millions of dollars represent at least one
hundred and three millions of actual pro-
perty, and probably one hundred and fifty
millions; because hardly any of this pro,
perty is rated at more than one halt Of
its merchantable value, and some Of it at
very much less than that. So that w
may estimate Mr.. Astor to be worth, II
real estate alone, over $32,OOo,0OO, ant
Mr.. Roosevelt over $2,70O,OOO. For my
self, believe these fortunes are thre
times the taxed value.

DOVES As FAKm SrocK.-In many por-
lions of France, it is said to be the prac-
tice of land-holders to make a condition of
their leases to senants that they shall pro-
vide pigeop-house OF dovecote, and keep
it we'll stocked with those birds. The
reason for the condition is that these birds
do great amount Of good in eating up
the seeds of noxious plants, such as chess,
cookie, and the like. They do not live on
well-grown grain when they can find that
which is shriyelled, as well as the seeds Of
weeds and grasses. They are busy work,
ers among the offal of the barn-yard, but
do not, like the barn-yard fowls, scratch
up the gardens and play the mischief gen
orally, 1t is in districts where the pigeon
is the most abundant that the wheat field
are the cleancst and the crops the mos
prolific.

How TO BREAK CATTLE TO Lead
Take two animals of about equal size and
strength, and tie them together with a
strong rope by placing one end around
the horns of one animal and the other end
around the horns of the other, and make
them fast, as for leading, or tying up,
leaving three or four feet of rope. between
the inner horns, and turn them into field
free from trees. Let them run, pull and
haul, till they are tired of it, and they
will walk side by side and feed together.
Then take off the rope and they will ever
after lead with the dociity of "a child, even
though the first occasion may be years
afterwards. 1t is much better than for q
man to be jerked around all day by wild
hcifer or steer, and more effectual. We
have tried it and know.-Columbia Post

tia again, not under any law or constltu-
ton, but under higher law discovered
for him by our Congressional delegation,
and he is going to trust the loyal people
of the State, he says, to pay the militia,
and to sustain him. 1t is not of much
use to argue the legality or propriety Of
anything that old Proc may do, and we
therefore content ourselves with advising
people who arc not loyal, which, we hops

The Car of Russia, it is known, has
consented to delay till the first of May to
receive the payment money for Alaska.
There is very little chance of his getting
it then. We see no present probability of
his ever getting it. The consequences
will be unpleasant. Upon the strength OF
the treaty he withdrew his troops from the
purchased territory at very derable
trouble and expense, and now, if that ter.
ritory shall be thrown back upon his
hands by the non-fulfllment of the treaty
obligations on our part, he will have tc
send his troops back at still greater trou'
BILE and expense. Will he not at least de-
mand pecuniary indemnity? If he shall
demand it will it not be refusedl And i
it shall be refused what will then be tn

WooD ASHES FOR STRAwBERRIEs>--
The Journal of Horticulture is our author
ity for saying that there is no better fer
tiiizer for strawberries than ashes. We
remember tkat one of the best we ever
had was raised when the only manure used
was wood ashes. All soils will not alike
be benefited by such an application, but
it is always safe to use ashes in connection
with other manures. If ashes only arc
used there are fewer weeds, as no seed cal
be introduced by the manure.-NOJol'

RICH MEN OF NEW YORK.

Thsylow Weed contributes to the Gal
axy, for May, very interesting article,
from which we extract the following:
Nothing parks the high civilization of
the day more surely than an intense desire
to be millonaires. Every man believes
he ought to be one, and many men, for
a time, at least, believe they can be. A
cold-blooded inspection Of this vstal ques-
ton may enable us to see what we are
about, and it may, too, teach us how this
blissful result can be accomplished.
An examination of the tax books OF
New York City for last year shows that
already ten men own one-tenth part OF
all the taxable property of the city, as
follows.
