WILL POULTRY PAy?-It has been said that
hens time isn't worth much; but it is worth
500, ,000, 900 year in the United States, and
this without any decided system, or cIerr
eye to results or profit except in few isolat-
ed cases Nearly all the poultry produced.
and their eggs, are accidental or subordinate
to other branches of farming. In no known
instance is poultry-raising for market on an
extensive scale made special occupation;
and yet il is an undoubted fact that any good
practical man who goes to making eggs and
poultry ms business can on ten acres of land
make more money by il than be can make in
raising cattle, sheep or pigs. Five thousand
hens can be kept in state of health on ten
acres of land, and they will pay at market
prices net profit Of 81 per hen, s., 900 per
year. There are more than hundred yarie-
ties of domestic poultry to choose from. and
all tastes can be suited. There is a growing
love for fine birds in this country as objects
of beauty, aside from their value as patient
workers for mans delectation. The poultrv,
shows have done much to foster q taste for
superior breeds of poultry; but to the few
men professionals and amateurs, who bav.
devoted time and means to the importing and
breeding of the best fowls, do we owe purity
OF blood and improvement of varieties. accoId

RIG JANEIRo HOTELS. feature OF
Rioan life especially consmends itself to for
eigners--to wit, the hotels. Although there
is not such a thing as first-class hotel inrhe
city, the toot-sore sight-seer is sure Of we'll
furnished, high-studded, well-ventilated room
in which to repose his wearied frame pt
night. One and all Rioan inns are conduct
&C upon tho well known European plan. and
the table d'hote Of each is garmsaed with all
the lucious fruits and vegetables known to
man. To be sure, the meat served is Of an
inferior quality Ia South American peculiari-
ty this), but one requires little animal food
where the mercury rarely falls below eighty
degrees Fahrenheit Everything in your ho-
tel is so spotlessly clean that even tobacco
devoCring Americans hesitate TO defile the
well-waxed floors, and cast their ancient mill
tary gentlemen out of window. Another
SANDER, wonder-telling tourists have circulat-
ed against all tropical countries is that, if
their tales are to be taken in toto, no one 8
life is safe, even in bed, because his slumbers
are liable to the invasion of deadly ants, CEN
tipedes, spiders, scorpions, and tarantulas in
uncounted phalanxes. This statement is an
absurd exaggeration. In Rioan hotels one is
as secure against chronological venom as in
his own bed at home. To be sure, nm occa-
sional stampede of cockroaohes will amuse
the awakened sleeper. Their little sharp
claws play the mischief with the human CT
ticle. The guest sees by the moonlight my
riads Of dark forms fitting to and fro among
the furniture and over him, and wonders
what cockroaches ere for. We could easilg y
tell him, for we have visited the great "Soy'
factories in Calcutta and Bombay. where the
filthy insects are mashed, and strained
through cloth into chaldron beneath, sub
lection in which to fervid heat turns them
out in n gummy mass called japan Soy.
This delicate relish is in great demand among
epicures OF both sexes, and is highly -prized
article cf import. Only last week we saw O
family smacking their lips over bottle at q
fashionable hotel. Had they known the ma
ture of other report, no antimony would have

BRIGHAM ON LAwYERs.-In q late discourse
at Salt Lake. Brigham Young thus paid his
respects 20 the lawyers:
/ will say right here that of all men who
ever did live upon the earth, lawyers are the
worst. Doctors and priests are bad enough.
but lawyers will ruin every body and send all
to hell. They are the worst and most unfit
for human society of any beings that live,
and if mankind would do so as Peter, the
Emperor of RUSSIA, talked of doing when
watching the doings of lawyers in Westminis-
ter Hall, England, they would not do bad
thing. Being asked: '.Do you not have
lawyers in your Kingdom" Peter replied
"Yes, have two, and when / get home |
shall bang one of them" If all lawyers
were served in the same way communities
would be saved great deal of anxiety and
trouble.

this appearance was due perhaps to the fact
that the French were mostly visible on their

was also strengthened by degrees. On the

These were the men and guns of Steinmitz,

attack on the rear OF their extreme right So
long as the smoke from the Prussian guns

clung to their position. The distance from

SENATE. Mr.. Edmunds from lhe Judiciary
Committee, submitted report upon the me-

port of the Conference Committee on the 10Th
amendment bill, and after a little tillibuster-
ing by the Democrats, and to prevent more,
it was agreed that the report go over until to-
morrow. An hour and half is to be allowed
the opponents of the bill for discussion, and
then the vote will be taken without delay.
The House then took up Mr.. Lynch's
bill to revive the navigation and commercial
interests, and Messrs. Farnsworth, Reeves,

been done by the gentleman from Maine, who
was now on the floor in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Ingersol of H., remarked that he had
been bored by hundred men in favor of ship

Mr.. Lynch repeated his remark about the
opposition coming from the Clyde ship-buiid-
ers.
Mr.. Ingersoll said that the gentleman was
making general assault on the western mem
bers, as if they were in completely with Eng

he denounced in his place as false (Calls to

TORONTO, Ca, May 26.
From the best information received here of
the Fenian raid, so far as Pigeon Hill is con-
cerned. is looked on as a miserable failure.
The Fenians are now retreatng, leaving their
arms and baggage behind them. There was
no loss of life on the Canadian side. Hun
tington is now the principal point of interest,
where every necessary preparation has been
made.
Later. The Fenian movement may now be
looked upon as having virtually collapsed.
Struggling parties may give little trouble,
but the preparations are so complete that
nothing but an entire defeat will attend any
further invasion. The story of the Indians
having attacked the troops at Sault st. Marie,
cannot be traced to any reliable source, and
the latest advices say nothing about ii. On
the Niagara and Detroit frontier there is suf-
ficient force in readiness to repel any attempt
to enter the country.

The anti-railroad consolidation meeting met
again this evening. James r. Farmer, mer-
chant spoke at length, and stated that the
right of transit across Commercial street, and
the connection with all the wharves was Sc
cured to the Grand Trunk forever, they hav-
ing built the street, and they can shut out the
consolidating roads.
Ex-Mayor Putnam moved the indefinite
postponemeht of the resolution, arguing that
it was foolish to discuss in small meeting
which could not represent the city, the right
of railroads to do what was guaranteed them
in their charter, and granted by special laws,
or to undertake to dictate to the people of the
State how, when or where they should go, or
to prevent Bangor running night freight.
Mr.. Poor replied, stating that the Directors
presenting to the stock of Bangor in the Me.
Central, opposed consolidation as injurious to
that city, and gave him early notice of the
scheme. The meeting again adjourned till

The whole discussion has run SO much to
personalities that the question under discus
sion has been mostly lost sight Of.
