NATHAN DANE, Jr., Esq, of Kennebunk
has recently imported a herd Of Ayrshire cat
tie. consisting Of seven cows, bull and sever
al young creatures; which are pronounced by
good Judges TO be q very superior, lot Mr.
Dane formerly gave great attention to stock
raising, and is as competent to make good se-
lections as any man in the State. The large
expenditure of money formerly made by him
in Introducing foreign cattle, proved, as it
should, good investment, and his efforts to
improve the breed of cows. in this section of
the State, have not been unappreciated. Ever
since the Ayrshires were imported into this
country, about 1886, they have been growing
in favor, and now bear throughout the United
States high character for milk, the yoke and
the shambles.
We hope the time is not far distant when
our. farmers will give more attention to the
subject ofimproyed breeds of cattle than they
have heretofore done. A better quality and
larger quantityof milk, butter and beef, will
amply repay them for time and money spent
in this direction.

are now used. 1t should be sufficiently pure
for drinking purposes, and sufficiently soft for
all manufacturing or domestic uses
Sebago water fully comes up to all these re-
quirements.
Remarks of Engineer Stevenson on water
pipes:
: The, ,eentinued delivery of water through the
pipes depends on the material used in their
manufacture. If OF iron unprotected from cor
rosion in the course of few years they will de-
liver from 20 to 30 per cent. less water
The defects of iron pipes are thus noticed by
the Boston Board:
Among the variety of subjects noticed in
the report Of the Engineer there is one In par
ticu!ar which we deem to be eminently deserv-
ing of consideration We allude to the effects
which are found 10 be produced on the inner
surface Of all the iron main and pipes, by the
action OF water. Although the pipe has been
use less than three years the effects are al
ready quite obvious, and in fact had been mo-
ticed some time previous. The assistance of
Prof .hoosford has been engaged for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining, as far as practicable their
origin, probably progress and means to be re-
lied upon for preventing, arresting or retard :
ing them, The effects on the iron pipes allu6-
ed to, are the changes produced on the iron:
1st. ABSORPTION Of the iron in sopae places
and the formation in its stead of substance
resembling plumbago. ssi + s 4
ID. Gradual formation ofaccrstions or tuber-
cles inI the. Interior Of the pipes by which the
dow Of water is inpeded and their capacity
| diminished.
Prof. Hoosford Says that the two points
near Dover street where one of the main iron
| pipes was taken up for repairs, there was found
upon the interior surface of the iron pipe s
| nodules varying in size from halt an inch to
three inches in diamater at the base, and hav-
ing a height of from one quarter to more than
half an inch. s.j.3s.i 81, $50 i.s rsei-.,
The report again says; ia,n ~ l-st
| In this country, next to cast iron, the
wrought iron and cement pipe, has been most
| generally used, and after eighteen years trial
has secured such q reputation as has led to
| its very general introduction as o reliable
| economical and permanent water conductor.

eted and of sufficient strength to resist any

A PRoDIGAL SoN.-Tbe United States has
just bid adieu to an illustrious English visitor,
Mr.. 81. Percival Stebbing. This gentleman,
who has attained the mature. age of twenty
four years, came over. from England in the
same steamer with Sir John Darlington, ar
riving in New York about the first Of June =
Almost Immediately afterwards he disappear
ed entirely, leaving no clue to his whereabouts.
Sir John Darlington, who had become ac-
quainted with him on the passage, interested
himself to discover the missing young man,
but in vain. About the 26th of June dis
patch was received from him, stating that he
would call at the Brevoort House in few
days. This appointment he failed to keep
On Monday last dispatch was received from
England by the cable, from the father of the
young man, wealthy merchant of London,
saying that he would be responsible for ali
debts contracted by his SON, and REQUESTING
that he be returned home as soon as possible
On the evening of the same day Percival nut
in an appearance, seedy and collarless out at
boots and stockings, crowned with shocking
bad hat. He was naturally very reticent about
his doings while absent, and onlys said that he
had been in Buffalo most of the time but had
returned to New York city thfcs weeks ago.
He was ushipped ~ London by, the steamer
ParA5essy which sailed on Thursday. If MT
1xIebbing has been playing the part Of an "am-
ateur casual, he has undoubtedly accom-
plished his purpose, and seen tho roughest side

THE IMPORTATION OF PRosTITUTEs.--A
paragraph from the Hong Kong Press gives the
following account of the Chinese women that
are brough to the United States. oo
Young girls kidnapped up the country form
large proportion among the women who are
sent over to San Francisco to be consigned to
. life of prostitution. Such power of coercion
is brought to bear upon them, that in major
ity of cases they fear to take any step to free
themselves from their miserable lot; though
many times while awaiting their departure in
Hong Kong, they resolve to escape from 4
life of degradation and crime by self-iufiicted
and early death. These lukcless girls are en-
ticed away from the country by the wiles of
wretched hags, who contrve to smuggle them
of. The favorite plan appears to be to get
them away from the temples, to which, for the
the servants in the house to which they belong
This individual is bribed and the heartless
capture enacted. Arrived in Hong Kong, the
unlucky girls discover, after short time, how
they have been entrapped but they have not
any idea Of how to free themselves They are
intimidated from complaining to their neigh
bors, and do not know that they can obtain
protection by complaining to the Police or to
the Magistrates. Thus, alter short time, they
are shipped of, and it seems that no one is
able to prevent the perpetration, in British
colony, of one of the most awful crimes that it
some steps were taken TO investigate this mat
ter to the bottom. so far as it Is known, it
appears that the -emigraEts ON board the Pa
cific steamers always say that they leave of
their own free will. But it IL true be-
y0nd doubt, that in many instances this is not
the case. 1t Is clear therefore, that this state
ment can only be made under much coeoiron,
and that there must be some kind of or
ealized system at work among the Chinese,
which asSists the intimidation of the victims
