THE Cincinnati Times and Chronicle, a
consolidation of the two papers which
formerly bore these names separately, APP
peared on Monday last for the first time.
The Chronicle, which bought in the Times,
and under the management of the editor
of which the new paper will be conducted,
has, since its existence, been one of the
leading afternoon Republican journals Of
the West. Always fresh, sharp, and Wig
orous, it has united with its progressive
Republicanism thorough devotion to the
interests of home industries, and in its
present shape, and under its new auspices,
will be stronger than ever before. The
weekly edition of the Chronicle and Times
will have the largest circulation of any
paper in the West.

CLUsERET, late Paris dictator, is having
his history in this country told for the first
time in the newspapers. From the ma
jority Of the sketches of his experience in
this country we infer him to be a soldier
of daring, skill, and not at all bad COM
handing officer, whatever may be his
faults as a ruler. In addition to his war;
like performances, Cluseret has dabbled in
politics, and for time edited weekly
journal in New York city; but he is said
to possess but little ability as writer,
while his knowledge of English orthogra-
ply and grammar is very limited Heleft
this country about the time Of the break
ing out of the Franco-Prussan war, and
finally turned up as Communist leader,
with crude idea Of republicanism and a
very good theory Of lighting. His oppo-
sition to the Versaillists was quite effective,
but the republic was, as usual, ungrateful.

The Englishman is proverbial in his quality
of and love for roast beef No such "roasts"
are found anywhere else in the world. The
modus operandi of its production is as fol-
lows: A pit is dug, generally about ok feet
deep and ten square, into which the animal
to be fattened is lowered. 1t is then supplied
with all the roots, hay, and meal it can di-
gest, and furnished with the needful quantity
of water, as well as with an abundance of dry
straw litter. The drOppings are trampled
under foot by the animal as he moves about
in his narrow cell, and gradually by their
accumulation rise to level with the surface
Of the ground. When the surface Is thus
cached, he is ready for the knife, and yields
rich and most Juicy flesh besides many tons
of the best manure firmly packed in the pit
One great trouble with the American beef
is, that the animals get too much exercise.
Kven our stall fed animals are allowed to
roam TOO much But the worst feature of all
is the fact that nearly all the beef which is
found in the markets OF our great cities is
driven thither on foot and killed without rest
or recupcratiOn, and of course in diseased
state. The animals transported by the rail
are but little if any better as the motion of
the GERS, even for a few hours, is extremely
weakening and facilitating on an animal
heavy with fat Perfect quiet and good ven
tilatlOn are essential to coed beef.
When a bullock is taken from its pasture
and placed in stall, it continues to grow in
bone and muscle or red flesh, as we'll as to &C
cumulatc fat, and the fatty matter is so blen.
ded with the muscular as to make the latter
tender, juicy and highly favored
In fattening, as general thing, American
cattle move too much and hogs too little.
The hogs need more exercise while fattening
than bullock-or at least the evil effects of
driving are. not so pcrceptble as IN driving
cattle. Kentucky hogs driven across the
mountains into Virginia, are said to give
sweeter flesh and more highly favored hams
than cornted hogs pen-fattened in Virginia.
