Australian Preserved Meat.

Experiments have recently been made
in England on the comparative econo-
my of using Australian preserved
meat and butchers meat. Australian
meat is prepared without bone, and is
sold in a cooked state in England at
from twelve to fourteen cents a pound.
A leg of mutton costing nineteen cents
a pound, weighed before roasting nine
pounds and ten ounces, and after roast
ing six pounds and twelve ounces. The
weight of the cooked meat was four
pounds and thirteen ounces, of the
bones one pound and thirteen ounces,
and of the gravy ten ounces. At this
rate slice of roast mutton in England
costs thirty eight cents pound.

Chicago RediYiYa.

Chicago's been burnt down in timber to-day.
Chicago I'll be built up in marble tomorrow;
Chicago has capital losses to pay,
Or Chicago has credit her losses to borrow.
No fabulous Phoenix with flames circled thick,
Give us henceforth, as swift resurrection's
indigo: -
In its stead paint up heraIds. an Illinois Chick.
With the legend in gold letters tackled to it
Ago."
For this Illinois Chick from her circlet of fame.
Looks calmly and coolly, victorious DER ruin'
And this word has a right to, in more than in
For Aoo's II do" and Chicago is doing.

Ladies, Stand Up.

In view of the demand for female
suffrage, it is proposed that the follow
ing political catechism for ladies desir-
Gus of entering the arena of politics be
propounded, for answers, to all candi-
dates:
What is the best seasoning for ballot
box stufing?
In opening a marking list, would you
use silk or worsted?
Do you consider election eering the
jewelry of the campaign?
Would you measure the canvass of a
ward by the yard?
Is it measures, not men," that you
desire?
Do you consider caucuses Irishmen
from Cork?
Would you stand up to vote motion
down?
Would you propose musk or cologne
when the scents of the meeting was
called for?
Ought chip hat to be worn in log
rolling for an election?
Are you too modest to press the ques-
ton?
Are you familiar with the music of
political organs?
What sort of vehicle is a political
hack?
How old must woman be to be en-
titled to the right of SUFFRAGE?
Are good teeth requisite for stump
speeches?
Do you believe in the doctrine, "to
the victor belongs the spoils," and, if
so, do you consider man spoils in po-
litical life?
Would ysu sit on standing commit
tee?
Would you insist on having your
weigh when the vote was declared to be
light one ?-Bostop Commercial Bulletin.
A CURIOUS fact is related of the Maine
wood-choppers, who, in the winter
months, while telling trees amid snow
and ice, cannot wear close-ftting boots,
but very large sizes, that allow their
feet to slip to and fro, thus creating
friction and warmth. But from this
they have their feet completely en-
crusted with corns. In the spring,
when they raft their logs, they do not
change their clothing or boots for weeks,
until they arrive at the saw-mills. Ali
the while their feet have been saturated
with water, and when the boots are re-
moved the corns fall off like nutsheIls
from the kernel.
A WEALTHY young farmer in another
county, says the ZaneSville Courier, made
a vow at the time of his marriage, that
he would plant forty peach or apple
trees for each child born during the first
ten years of his married life. He has
been married seven years, and has about
800 trees. He talks about going back
on his VOW. He hasn't the land to
spare.

The Picnic at lanes Park-The Lucky
Winners Of Prizes.

The picnic of the Sons of Temperance
yesterday, at James Park, though not as
largely attended a. was desired by the
order, in all respects formed an enjoyable
entertainment for those who participated
in the festivities arranged by the various
committees in charge. The dance and
waltz constituted the reigning features of
she day and night, and not a few Of the
lair ones Of Memphis carried of the
palm for true3wOmanly grace and bearing

Miss Mary j. Rogers, the award being
fully Endorsed by the enthusiastic corps
of admirers who thronEed the polls with
ballots and stamps. Quite a number OF
