MINING STATISTICS.

The report of the Commission OF Min
ing Statistics for the year 1869 has been
printed since the close Of the session IN
July last, and that for the year Of 1870
will be made during the winter.
FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The continuance of the war appears
to be a matter of national Importance.
The proportion Of American vessels en-
gagged in the foreign trade has not in
creased relatively during the year, al
though there has been an actual increase
in the entries of American vessels at
ports of the United States amounting
in the aggregate to 100, 900 tons. The
total tonnage engaged ii the foreign
trade entered at all ports of the United
States has increased from 1888, 900 tons
in 1869, to 1857, 600 tons in 1870, but
the proportion of American tonnage re-
mains, as in 1869, at36 per cent. With
ont undertaking to specify the means
bv which it is to be accomplished, l
cannot overestimate the Importance OF
such legislation as will secure revival
of American commerce.

on that account, through the sinking

the expenditures develops fact
tending to sustain the opinion that
the balance will be considerably larger
than appears from the foregoing estl-
mates. The sum of 1888, 278.37 Is
estimated for public works. The APP
preparations for these objects and for
interest on the public debt are SO near
y eqnal to the receipts as to Justify and
demand the greatest caution in dealing
With the revenues and business OF the
country. 1t is apparent that disaster,
or even a serious check, to business
would reduce the revenues below our

A Remarkable EIilicp.

The Jews of Turin, are building a
new place of worship, which, according
to an account of the Paris Temps, is a
very extraordinary affair: "The most
remarkable Of all structures at Turin is
the synagogue of the Israelites. 1t is
likely the finest and richest synagogue
in the world, and at the same time the
most remarkable monument of Turin.
Upon q small square hill, with adapted
stairs, stands a Greek temple IN white
ana pink, Above, little backward, is
a kind of second temple. The whole is
traversed by galleries, adorned with
small pillars and thousands of splendid
embellishments. White and reddish col
orspredominate. tits Greek and Mora
ish--itis Romantic and Gothic, there is
blending of all styles, without over
straining and without bad taste. But
what makes this structure something
bizarre and unexpected, is massive
tower, with pierced walls, arising above
the ornamented, beautiful construction,
reminding of Asia and Egypt, ofThebes
and Nineveh. Surely the architect of
this building was gifted by Imagination.
He was an able interpreter of the He
brew dr0m of the temple to be erected
at the brink OF strange river. Never,
since the great destruction, has Israel
possessed more magnificent editice in
which the hymns of David resound.
The building is entirely fit for the tai
ented Italian Jews, who are a power at
the Exchange, at the press, and in the
Parliament. -

TOO MANY Cows.---A writer in the
Maine Farmer recommends that farm
ers should not keep too many cows,
and cites vel! attested instance in
which two COWS, by having the same
amount of food given them as had been
previously given to four, had yielded
considerably more butter, cheese, etc,
than had been before obtained from
double the number; that is, that tho
two upon extra feed had produced more
than four. We can believe this state
ment, and believe with the writer, also,
that farmers should not keep more
COWS, or stock of any kind, than they
can keep wells both es 10 TODD and shell
ter. 1t should be as much Of the bust
ness of the farmer to grow full supply
OF winter provender for his stock MS it
is to furnish them with summer pasture;
and yet how many there are who never
dream of such thing as setting a field
of clover or any of the artificial grasses,
relying altogether upon the precarous
resources of their corn-fields 10 carry
their stock through the winter and ear
ly spring months. Nor do many OF
them pay proper attention TO saving
the provender from those quarters.
TooTHACHE IN DUMB ANIMALs.--It
must be dreadful when poor dumb ami
mails suffer from toothashe Every one
has read how poor Chunce, the eleph-
ant at the old Exeter Change, in Eng
land, went mad from it; and it is popu-
larly supposed that it is often cause
of madness in dogs, and | really think
it very probable. The poor brutes
seek the sympathy and aid of their mas
ters for have known poor old cat
come moaning time after time, until it
drew attention to its teeth. A surgeon
who was visiting at the house first sug
gested the cause Of the animals dis
comfort and one person, more skilled
than the others, possibly, in the man
agement of our dumb companions, drew
a tooth which was rather loose, and ut
once relieved the poor creature. Good
