CATTLE AND BEEF STATISTICS
It is estimated that there are over
100000 head of cattle in Texas
alone, but prior to the war, that
State contained only 100000 head.
The demand ceased, and the cattle
throve during the conflict, until they
have increased enormously. The
consumption of beef in the United
States is estimated at 100000 tons
per year, while in France it is only
100000 tons for an equal amount Of
population. In New York alone,
S32, 100000 worth of meat annually
is consumed, besides 83,000,000
pounds of butter, valued at S33, 900,
900; 100000 pounds cheese, val.
ued at Sl4, 100000 total OF S79,-
100000. Facts like the above show
how invaluable the discovery of a
certain process for preserving meats
fresh must prove to this country.

The digRings are located in Lemhi

nuggets weighing from Eve to ten dol.

been located, and the bordereing hills

country from the different settlements
Is not only practicable but easy. JudR.

COMMISSIONER DELANo holds that

COMMISSIONER DELANo holds that
Assessors have full power to investi,
gate returns, AID to judge whether
gentlemen who live at the rate of zen
thousand year and ray taxes only
on one, make honest statements of
their incomes. This will be a disa>
greeable sort of thing for some people
to submit to; but the Commissioner
is right. If we have the law at all,
we ought to inforce it. Without
some such iuquisition the burden
falls on honest men, and the rogues
get off lightly.

SCHUYLER CoLFAX, the Prince
'Turveydrop of the radical party, is
doing California" Colfax, like
Grant, thinks the best way he can
discharge the duties of his Office is
to travel about the country and ex-
ihibit himself very much as the show
man exhibits the monkey. We trust
that the monkey will not take offence
at the comparison.
