Meat from Domestic Animals.

THE amount of meat obtained from a
domestic animal sold by its live weight, is
very variable, and experiments have
recently been made in Liverpool to ascer-
tain the proper allowance to be made
From the statistics to be derived from the
public slaughter houses, or abattoirs, of
Paris and Brussels, it appears that the race
and condition of the animal, besides many
other circumstances, affect the result and
that certain animals yield as much as 80
per cent of meat, while others only give
80 per cent. The mean weight of meat
produced, however, is calculated at 6S per
cent OF the live weight in beef cattle. In
the case of sheep, the proportion is 40 to
90 per cent.
From experiments made, it appears that
the different products obtained from oxen
and sheep are as follows: An OK of the
live weight of 1882 pounds, yields meat,

and spleen, 2005; intestines, 6015; loss
aud evaporation, 154 352; making the total

The products from sheep weighing
10 2 pounds are as follows: Meat, 5511

In a lengthy decision recently published,
Attorney General Akerman holds that
while Congress can, by statute, limit the
Executive choice for public officers, by
prescribing that no one shall be appointed
who has not passed an examination, it can
not by statute, limit his constitutional
power by requiring that the successful
competitor in examinations shall, in all
cases, be appointed, because this deprives
the President of all discretionary power;
nor can the discretion intrusted to the
President be exercised by Civil Service
Board of Examiners.

How the Amendments are to be Upset.

GEN. CAREY declared at Columbus, the
other day, that sit the Supreme Court
shall declare the amendments null and
void, it will be a perfectly legitimate ex
ercise OF its authority, nor VIII our conf
dence in its wisdom, integrity and ability
be at all weakened by its doing So" This
is the sum and substance, then, of the
"New Departure" of which Democratic
politicians boast so much. This Is but the
revival of the slaveholder's policy of 1862,
which proposed a paddock for every lip
on the slavery question, but sent all its
propagandist projects to the Supreme
Court to be made into law for the further
snce Of its nefsrious ends. This base at
tempt to override the Legislature Of the
nation and the decision Of the electors by
packed court has once received the en-
phstic Tebuke of the American people, and
1t may be necessary to repeat that re-
buke once more. The will of the people
is mightier than the arbitrary decision of
the Supreme Court on any political ques-
tion. The people of the United States
will no more put its right to think and
act on political questions in the keeping
of nine men in black gowns in the city of
Washington, than it will put them In the
keeping of an Emperor. And yet that is

In the summer of 1882 a merry party
from New Bedford, including two gentle
men who are now distinguished residents
of New York, met at Potomska, nine
miles below that place. While dipping
water from the old Indian spring, one of
them dropped valuable diamond from his
shirt ruffie in running water about three
feet deep, but made no effort for its
recovery, deeming it irretrievably lost. In
the succeeding summer, July A, 1888, a
party of nearly the same persons met at
the same place, and as matter of joke
stirred up the sands of the spring, when,
10 the missing jewel appeared, to the de-
light of the astOnished owner.
