An old farmer, about the time that
the temperance "Cform was beginning

country, said to his hired man:
Jonathan, did not think to men
ton to YOU when hired you that
think of trying TO do my work this
year without rum. How much more

" Oh, | don't care much about ii, ,"
said Jonathan. "you may give me
what you please.
Well" said the farmer Il will
give you a sheep in the tall, if You
will do without
= Agreed said Jonathan.
The oldest son then said:
Father. vii: YOU give me a sheep
too. ifI 90 without rum"
= Yes, Marshall. YOU shall have a

The Youngest son. "a STRIPPING, then

large black s~pangles, and the head is surmounted
with a large sized polish crest.
Thew are a most valuable breed. The hers
are prolific layers of good sized eggs; The BE-
chickens feather with great rapidity, and are tit
for market at four months old. The grown fowl
is about the size of the dorkings!, weighing from
eight to twelve pounds and taking all the good
qualities together, they are one of the best breeds
that a ss fancier" or farmer can have.
PoLANDs.-There are (at least) five varieties of
Polands, all of which are about the same size,
and mainly distinguished by the difference of
color. This breed has its solid merits. They
mature slow, are quite hardy ifkept.in dry places,
and, under favorable circumstances, are most
prolific layers, never wanting to sit. They weigh
about six and one-half to seven pounds, and on
the whole, are desirable to have in any farm yard.
SPANIsH.-The white-faced black Spanish are
truly a most beautiful breed. They weigh from
six to eight pounds. They are most excellent
layers, beginning when six months old, and giving
FIVE or six eggs a week for a whole year. The
eggs are not very fertile, as the chickens are not
as strong as many other varieties. Their eggs are
white, largo, and unrivalled in delicacy of flavor.
With a warm, dry place for them, they are a de-
sirable breed for any farmer.-Hedrth and Home.

The Australian Steam Route.

1t is now pretty nearly certain that there will
be but two real competitors for the United States
and Colonial subsidies, namely: The North
Pacific Transportation Company and VIM. H..
Webb, of New York. The capacity of either of
these competitors to carry out such a contract is
undoubted. The North Pacific Transportation
Company are now represented by Mr.. ii. III. Hall
in the Colonies. That gentleman, we under
stand, has full power to negotiate on behalf of
the Company. That being so, Mr.. Hall, upon
his return, would be in a very much better posi-
ton to carry out such an undertaking than he
ever was before. Considerable credit is given
in San Francisco to Mr.. Hall for the Yankee
smartness with which he succeeded with the
slender resources that were available to him in
the Colonies in starting a line-an inferior one
though it is. From him can never be taken
away the credit of being the pioneer of the new
route although it must be admitted that Others
were at an early period moving in the matter in
this country in a slower but probably a surer
way. Earnest Colonists, now residents in this
country, with that love for their old home, which
characterizes Australians, have been principally
instrumental in attracting attention here to the
rising importance of the Colonies, and to the
great value Of the Pacific route. To their
proper representations " not a little of the
credit OF obtaining the favorable recognition of
Congress belongs.
1t matters little whether Mr.. Webb or the
North Pacific Transportation Company get the
NohtioSe, q ID a tlOiE CdpdCIly 10 carly IL out
Is concerned. If, however, the Company get it
they propose to build frst-class teamers as
those they now have on this coast are not of such
speed as would be required by the demands of
the proposed service. Mr.. Hall, we understand,
has taken out ample guarantees as to the build
ing of the vessels. Mr.. Webb has two steamers
of magnificent proportions now in these waters
ready for the service, and we are authorized to
say that so soon as the United States subsidy is
obtained, or favorable news received from Mr..
Collie, the Nebraska will be despatched.
Captains and engineers inform US that this
vessel is well able to steam 300 miles per day.
Her log shows that she has accomplished as much
as 800 miles per day. under steam alone. We
observe by the papers to hand, that MIR. Collie
asks for thirty-three days time from San Franz
cisco to Melbourne. That would be an exceed
ingly safe arrangement for his principal. Mr..
Webb is a c~autious man, who is noted for
promising less than he knows he can carry out.

Cuba.

HAVANA. June 5.-The Captain General tele-
graphs that the fllibusteTing expedition from New
York on the steamer Upton disembarked at Puerto
Bravo. a few miles east of Neuvitas, and was at
tackled by the Spaniards. 100 strong, assisted by
two gunbOats, and dispersed, losing ten killed, in
GLIDING Capt. Harrison. Two were drowned and
three taken prisoners. a steam launch, rubber
RATS and the entire cargo of arms, ammunition and
medicine which had been landed, were captured,
with some correspondence.
The Spanish naval commander telegrapbs that
the munitions captured consist of two tons of pow
der, over 100000 cartridges and 800 rifles. Cis-
maros, who commanded the expedition, had sailed
on the Upton, with the balance of the cargo, for
Colombia, to bring back the expedition of 200 Co
lombians.
The 70. de Cuba says that six tons of powder,
1000 rifles, and the entire materials of the expedi-
ton fell into the hands OF the Spanish troops, and
several prisoners were Immediately executed. The
date of the landing is not stated.
NEW YORK, June THE British Consul at Hav-
ana has received a telegram that the armed steamer
Ghieffdin left London Ostensibly for Japan, but
really to assist the Cubans.
Advices from the Cuban Junta say that on the
18th ulG, the battalion San Quenton started in
combination with two gunboats to capture the
Upton expedition, which was safely landed Eve
days previously.
The N. Y. Tunes special says, Gen. Jordan. the
Cuban i~nsurgent commander, has returned here.
He reports that he finds a general disposition
among Senators and MEMBERS of both parties to
vote for banks neutrality resolution, which will
allow the Cubans equal facility with the Spaniards
to buy arms, gunboats, etc., which Jordan feels
confident will insure the success OF the cause. The
premature publication of Banks report furnished
the Spanish Minister here with in ad-
vance, thus enabling him to telegraph to Madrid
and Havana JUST what action the Committee pro-
pose to take. The State Department has learned
that of all the Cuban privateers, the Upton alone
got to sea without war material on board, and
could not therefore have been lawfully detained.
The Spanish Minister says that at sea she was sup
piled with arms and munitions generally for the
Cuban cause.
CHICAGO, June 5.-Potte Palmer announces that
be will commence. July lst, the erection of an i'm

State and Monroe streets, eight stories high, con-
tanning IS rooms. 1t will cost S2,500,000. The
architecture will be very elaborate, similar to the
Louvre Palace, built by Louis PHILIPPE, and it will

TO the sscent strike OF Mr.. James on the hill
between his old well aud what is now known
as the "Hoiday we'll" This new well was

hours it flowed forty barrels. The seed

which W. are unable to state; but from
what We can learn from those who have
