VanderbIlt's Cattle Trade.

Vanderbilt has been beaten at his OWL
game by Fisk and Gould. When the com
modore reduced bis rates on cattle from
500 to $40 per car, he congratulated him.
self that Erie would not make such a ruin
u reduction. He was mistaken, for the
Erie managers astonished him by an
n~ouncing to the public that they would
carry cattle and live stock from Suspension
Bridge to New York for one cent per
head. Vanderbilt suspecting they were
merely putting him on his mettle,
become doubly ~courageous and re-
duced his tariff to 81 per car. This was
what Fisk and Gould wanted. They i'm
mediately telegraphed to their agents
throughout the West to buy all the stock
they could on the account of the Erie road
and ship it via the Central road. This or
der was obeyed so literally that the Erie
folks have now in their great national
~stockyards at Weehawken 5000 head OF
cattle, which their kind friend Vanderbilt
has transported from Buffalo on terms
which would not pay for the grease on the
car-wheels of the stock trains. Vanderbilt
was not long in finding nj how nicely he
was beaten, and it is said he has made
overtures to Fisk and Gould, offering to 60
back to the original rates, q proposition
which has not been accepted.

No ONE NEED ever despair of waking up
to find himself famous. On the 18th ult. a
gentleman in San Francisco, hitherto only
noted for deeds of daring in fighting the
tiger" was seated asleep in tn. smoking
car of the evening train from Sacramento,
on the Vallejo route. The car window on
the side opposite him was open; suddenly
he sprang to his feet and dove head fore
most out of it, his heels barely touching
the sash and tearing it to fragments. At the
moment the train was moving at not less
than 25 miles an hour; but as quickly as
possible it was stopped and backed to the
place of the occurrence, about five miles
from Suisin. The gentleman was found
sitting on the ground, evidently a little
confused as to his whereabouts. He was
unhurt, except a mere scratch on n arm.
He climbed into the car without difficulty.
When he saw, as well as heard about. what
he had gone through, he complained that
previously, when awake, he had been pick.
ing b~lackberries and was startled by the
appearance of q snake. While sleeping in
the car he dreamed of the reptile, and
made a vigorous jump to avoid it. Fol

"SHoo Fly" UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

"SHoo FLY" UNDER DIFFICULTIES. - A
lady in an Ohio Church rested her head on
the back of the pew in front, as all devout
people do in the time of prayer, but in the
pew before her sat a young man who
neither bowed his head nor kneeled. A
beautiful plume nodded and danced upon
the head of the fair one behind him, occa-
~sionally touching the neck of the youth,
who evidently considered it G fly or some
other troublesome insect. For a time be
bore the unpleasant sensation without a
murmur, but at last patience ceased to be q
virtue, and from the fash of his eagle eye
one could plainly see that the hour of that
'shy" had come. Cautiously his hand
moved toward the supposed offending in
sect; then followed a frantic clutch. and a
spring behind him. Imagine the horror of
the youth to find IN his hand the nobby hat
of the fair one, which he had torn violently
from her head, sadly disarranging the con
tour of braids and chignon. The lady was
indignant, of course, and the youth could
have been purchased at ar immense sacri-
fee about that time. N. 7. Standard.

SOME years ago, when Miss Harriet Mar
tineau was visiting the Pyramids of Egypt,
she expressed regret that the art by which
the immense stones were raised to their
places was lost An engineer therefore
published an article stating that any'com-
petent engineer could construct a pyramid
equal to the largest in Egypt. The follow
ing facts would seem to prove that this Is
no idle boast: According to ancient authors,
from 1O0, 600 to 300, 600 men were engaged
for twenty years on the great pyramid, the
sum of whose united labor has been esti-
mated to be equal to raising Is, zoe, 900 Gu
bee feet of stone one foot high. The steam
engines of England, as it has been esti-
mated, would be able to do this in only Is
hours. This would make the construction
of pyramids similar to those In Egypt by
no means an impossible work, provided
anybody could be found foolish enough to
undertake it.

THERE is a revolution in progress in pub
lie sentiment in some of the British Prov
inces, relative to Independence of the
mother country. Here is a pretty plain
spoken paragraph in the Yarmouth Nova
Scotia) Herald:
'cThe Independence party appear to be
rapidly gaining ground in all the N. A
Provinces. Several influential journals in
Canada, heretofore opposed to separation
from England, have within a short time
commenced to advocate it, and the senti-
ments recently expressed in the Imperial
Parliament and by the leading English
journals have given a strong impulse to the
cause. We care nothing for independence
only as it may bring about annexa-
ton, a result which we deem inevitable.
The severance of the Dominion from Eng
land would be speedily followed by anoth-
er declaration of independence and the re-
lease of Nova Scotia from Canadian rule.
That is the ground on which we would adj
vocate independence, and the one which
we are confident would gain for it the
greatest amount of support among the
mass of our population. We are glad to
perceive so many of the political leaders
and journals Of all parties on the track to
manifest destiny"
