big brothers, who were talking about
theirs, to which he and l had been lis

II am not big enough for a plan

''That Is good; 1t Is not every one

a good man like my father, " said Ned

THE cotton growing interests OF
Brazil shows q rapid decline within
the past few years. While the ex-
ports of this staple from Rio Janeiro
in 1868 amounted to ll3, 465 bales,
they were in 1869 only 45,004 bales
An enormous falling of-whieh was
further reduced In 1870, when the
exports from that port were only H.
go (Brazilian) bales, The exports
of cotton from Santos during last year
were 248, 726 arrobas, equal to about
1920 bales of400 pounds, which adj
ded TO the 1870 bales from Rio,
make a total export of cotton from
Brazilian bales, which is less in
weight than twenty-eight thousand
American bales.

We copy tho following suggestion
about sheep from q circular issued
by +. G. ID. Mckay, the General
Agent of the American Emigrant
COMPANY. The Company have al.
ready over 10000 sheep scattered
among the farmers who purchased
land from them, in hocks ranging in
size from fifty to two hundred head
|. Keep sheep dry under foot with
litter. This is even more necessary
than roofing them. Never let them
stand or lie in mud or snow.
2. Take lamb bucks early IN the
summer, and keep them until De-
cembor first following, when they
may be turned out.
8. Drop or take out the lowest bars
as the sheep enter or leave a yard,
thus saving broken limbs.
4. Count every day.
5. Begin granting with the greatest
care, and use the smallest quantity at
frat.
6. If a eve loses her lamb, milk
her daily for a few days, and mix o
little alum with her salt.
7. Let no hogs eat with the sheep,
by any means, in the spring.
s. Give the lambs a little mill feed
in time of weaving.
8. Never frlghten sheep If possible
to avoid it.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in cold
weather, if you can.
L. If any sheep is hurt, catch it
at once aud wash the wound, and if
il is fly time, apply spirits of turpen-
tine daily, and always wash with
something healing. If q LIMB is bro
ken, bind it with spIintcrs %looscning
as the limb swells.
10. Keep . number OF good bells ON
the sheep. -,
II. DO not let the sheep spoil wool
with chat or burrs.
Is. Cut tag-locks in carly spring. ,
IG. For scours, give pulverized
alum in wheat bran; prevent by
taking great care IN changing dry
for green food.
II. If one is lame, examine the
foot, clean out between the hoofs,
pare the hoof if wnsonnd, and apply
tobacco with blue vitrol boiled in a
little water.
1S..Shear at once any sheep COM
mencing to shed its wool, unless the
weather is too severe, and save care
fully the pclt of any sheep that dies.
10. Have at least, some good work
by to refer to. This will be money
in your pocket.

Every one has remarked the man
her in which birds of prey float, as it
were, without any effort, AID with
steady expanded wings, at great
heights in the atmosphere. This they
are enabled to do from the quantity
Of air contained in the air-cells of their
bodies, which air being taken in at a
low level in the atmosphere, of course
rareties and expands as the bird as
cends into higher regions. Their rap
idity of descent must be accomplished
by the sudden expulsion of this air
aided by their muscular efforts. Of
all birds, the condor mounts highest
into the atmosphere. Humboldt des'
cribes the flight of this bird in the
Andes TO be at least 10000 feet above
the level Of the e From the cave Of
Antisana, elevated l2,95S feet above
the level Of the Pacific ocean, he saw
this bird soaring at a perpendicular
height Of 6,676 feet. 1t is q remarka-
bic circumstance, says he, that this
bird, which for hours continues to fly
about in regions where the air Is SO
rarefied, all at once descends to the
edge Of the sea, and thus in a few
minutes passes through all the varin-
ties Of climate. At a height of 10000
feet, the air-cells of the condor, which
are filled in the lowest regions, must

ner. Many years ago, Ulloa express
ed his astoniShment that the vulture
of the Andes could fly at a height
where the mean pressure Of the air is
only fourteen inches. 1t was then
imagined, from experiments made
with the air-pump, that no animal
could 1--we in SO are a medium; but
Humboldt has seen the barometer on

phere whose pressure was ven less

4 Prctty story by FrCdCrika BTe'

lFNl'J S'OES W
me
In the great University of Upsula,
in Sweden, lived a young student, a
noble youth, with great love for stu
dies. but without means for pursu-
ing them. He was poor without
connections. Still he studied, lived
in great poverty, but keeping a cheer
full heart, and trying to look at the
future which seemed so grim to him.
His good humor and excellent quail
ties made him beloved by his com
radcs. One day he was standing in the
square with some of them, prattling
away an hour of leisure, when the
attention of the young men became
arrested by a young and elegant
lady, who, by the side of an older
one, was slowly walking over the
place. 1t was the daughter of the
governor of Upsula, living i'll the
city, and the lady was her COVER
ness. She was generally known for
her goodness and gcntlencSs of char
actcr, and looked at with admiration
by all the students. As the young
men stood gazing at her rs Shc pass,
ed, Ike a graceful VISION oheol thell
suddenly exclaimed:
"Well, it would be worth ONE
thing to have a kiss from such lips"

upon the merchants fora loan Of 100000. All
the merchants have refused to subscribe. Cor
tina is supposed to be in league with the in
surucnts, and serious trouble is apprchcnded.
The Americans do not fear the enforcement of
the prcstamo owing to their proximity to Fort
Brown. There are no funds in the Treasury
to pay the soldiers. General Palacio is almost
isolated. There are rumors that lula has pro-
nounced in favor Of Diaz which stops the only
road that was open from this place to the Cap
taI. General Quiroga has left Monterey for
Mier with number Of cavalry, and may reach
the latter place in two days. General Trlveno
