Bnyard T0yl0r,S Revenge.

The joke of the Inauguration of the
Central Park Shakespeare statue has
Just come to light in the New York cor
respondence Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial: Chief Justice DAILY, COM
monty called Justice Delay, was the
manager OF the affair. It was he who
got bryant to deliver the Grafton,
Booth to recite the poem, and took
charge of things generally. In casting
about for poet to write an ode for tho
occasion he first settled upon James
Russell Lowell, who, however, was
sorry to say he could not undertake
the job. DAILY then applied to Bayard
Taylor for poem. and, after some time
and correspondence, Taylor agreed to
furnish one, to be recited by Booth.
In due season it was forwarded to the
chief-iust,ce, who didn't like the poem,
and sent it back to the author, suggest
ing great many changes and
improvements, which, if properly
made, would render it accept.
able. Taylor, was of course,
tremendously indignant, and refused
to have anything more to do with the
affair, and Daily was then compelled to
use an old poem by Stoddard, written
and recited seven years ago. Taylor
was evidently determined, however, to
have his revenge upon DAILY or Delay.
The day when the statue was to be inau-
gurated, his poem was published
prominently on the editorial page of
the Tribune; aud the knowing ones
found that he had made but one change
in it, which was not by any means such
an improvement as Judge DAILY had
suggested. He had, in fact, carica-
tured DAILY himself with shocking Sc
verify. In giving roll of Shakspeare's
dramatic characters, Shy]ock, Cassius,
Falsaff, Iago, and SO forth, he de-
scrlbed the unhappy justice in these
cruel lines:
"Aere Justice Shallow, famous for delay,
With eyes severe and beard Of formal cut,
Opes with portentous menace to the day
The mouth so seldom shut"
To those who know Daily, or Delay,
in bis appearance and traits, the lines
will he perfectly understood, in all their
malace. There has, of course, been a
deal of laughter about the thing, among
tho small number who have heard it.

The Cashmere Goat.
A California correspondent say,

A Canf0rnla correspondent says +:
"The Cashmere goat of California is
very healthy, and as the wool is fine,
more lustrous and longer than that OF
the sheep, and commands twice as
much per pound in the market, and the
flee"e is about as heavy, hopes are EN-.
tertained that it will contribute much
to the wealth of the state. It is similar
in size, torn and general appearance tc
the common goat-save that the colo,
is white and the hair, instead of being
coarse and short, is fine and
from four to eight inches long. The
wool, taking the desirable qualities Of
length, fineness, softness to receive
delicate dyes together, is superior to
any other. and commands far higher
price, not having been less than in the
United States at any time than one dol.
lar per pound, and sometimes having
been sixteen dollars. The expense Of
obtaining the goats is great, a single
one costing from one hundred and
fifty dollars to ono thousand dollars. 81

DIR. Lanalian and His Prosecutors.

DR.. Lanahan says he is satisfied that
his arrest is the result of a combine
ton between DR.. Carlton, DR.. Curry
and DIR. Meade, the deputy, who, he
feels sure, induced Goodenough to
swear out the warrant. He also saws
that A. Nelson, now in prison at the
suit of Phelps, Dodge & Co., received
a large quantity of valuable morocco
leather, :" fraud, which, when discover
ed, led to Nelson's arrest; though for
some reason, the case was subsequent
~ allowed to drop. DR.. Lanahan says
he shall take no further steps in regard
to the Book Concern, though he has
been assured that not one-half of the
frauds perpetrated in it have been dis
closed; but he believes the church has
not received sufficient warning to take
care of its own interests. The present
Book Concern, he thinks, is composed
of honest men, and he is contented to
know that the fight has not been entire
~ in vain.

Catching Curculio with coh.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph thus describes plan for catch
ing the little turk. The inference is that
the curculio lays its eggs in the cobs soak
ed with sweetened water, for unless this be
the case, the plan is futile. He saws:
Soak corn cobs in sweetened water until
thoroughly saturated, then suspend them
to tie limbs of the trees little while after
blossoming, being sure to bum the cobs at.
ter the fruit ripens, as they will be found
full Of the young insects. A good plan is
to change the cobs every few weeks, NV
theory is thisIthat the insects deposit their
eggs in the cobs in preference to doing so
in the ,oung plums. The first season /
tried 1t upon one or two only, and in the
summer was rcwardedby as good crop of
plNms as ever ripencd, while those on the
other trees fell off when about half grown.
Next spring found sweetened corn cobs
dangling from the limbs of all my plum
tees, and the summer found them full of
delicious fruit. have never known it to
fail, and hope every reader who has a
plum tree will not fail to try it.

Mortality In Three Great Cities.

A New York journal draws . compar.
ison between the lists of mortality of
three leading cities of the world for a
single week in the month of May. The
cities are Paris, London and New
York. Summarized they are az fol-
lows: London counts 1,168 deaths,
with a population of 1881, 800; Paris
812 deaths, with q population of l, $685.
500; New York 646 deaths, with a pop
ulation of 81, 800. Thus, during one
week in May, 80 people died in Lon
don, AZ in Paris, and 68 people in New
York out of every 100, 600 of popula-
ton. This is certainly q very bad
showing for our American metropolis,
for which there must exist some natur-
al cause or causes. It might be as
we'll to add that the variations in tenn
perature in New York, during the week,
were from maximum of 70 degrees to
a minimum of 81 degrees.

buyers can afford to give more for it per

pound more fr it. The tables and box
arrangements, they contend, may be CON
venient for the farmer, and are probably
handy to use, but they put the wool in such
packages that the dealers regard then with
s1epicion, and invariably from their So
lidity and hardness gather the idea that the
wool is not we'll washed, that it is oilv. or
that 1t is moist. Beside, the examination
of it is rendered 80 laborous that this work
Is costly. The box and table arrangements
make such neat square bundles of the
feeces that it is becoming the general
practice, but it is not one that is preferred
by the Purchasers, and it does not enchance
prices. At this season it is proper to d.
rect attention to the subject.

The whole area of Maine is about
10000 miles, of which the great
