HOW THEY POP THE QUESTION.
By BELLA FRENCH.

Tho sailor says, " like your rig:
And though I've noticed many,
l really think you are, old gal,
As trim Il craft as any.
And if you'll only say tho word,
Through every kind of weather
Just blast my timbers if We don't
Go cruising ON together 70
Tho poet, with enrapturcd gaze,
Points out a single star,
"'Iis thus, sweet lady, that you shno
On mortals from afnr.
But ah it is my fondost hope
Though selfish | must own
That in some modest, yine-wreathed cot,
You'll shine for mo alone"
The dancing master, French. of course,
Thinks earnestly of mating,
And seeks some lovely widow with
A bow oxcrutiating.
Madame, 20 heart is in 20 hope,
You love u loetle beet,
And go 20 way of life via me,
Madame, KEGS your foot ~
Tho actor quotes from many plays,
And swears by all the powers,
His hand shall build his Anabello
cot among the flowers.
Without her smile, he e'er is like
A ship without IA rudder;
And talks of dark despair, and death,
Until no makes her shudder.
The tradesman, with business eye,
A partner seeks for lifc
For sure the best Investment is
tidy, loving wife,
lie secs her as kind of stock,
To sell ~ any other;
Counts out the requisite amount,
And buys her from her mother.
And Pat, the coachman, winks at Bid,
As fits from room to room,
The ever merry chambermaid,
With dusting-pan and broom.
He says, Me darlint, when we've laid
Us by heap of money,
Wo'll got tho Praste to tic tho not,
If yen say yis, mo honey"
Says Hans Won Schmidt, who keeps saloon
want II gutter frow,
TO help mo mako der lager pier,
und milk der prindlo COW,
TO make mine shirts, und cook der krout,
Und ebery tings to do;
To feed dor horse, und slop der poeg,
Und tend mine papios too"
And even Sam, tho barber man,
AT Nan rolls up his eyos,
And talks of matrimonial bliss,
With most heart-ronding signs.
If you don't CUB dat lily hand
To dis 'oro lub-sick niggor,
llo puts dis pistol to him hoad,
And den him pulls do trigger p
IT'S thus mankind rush to their fate,
For with II brilliant light,
That little, elin being, Love,
Has power to blind tho sight.
Like children's barks, adown tho falls
To waters still, below
Some glide along without hurt
And sOmo to ruin 40.

wool, "E" total yearly receipts from

Of wool have put much below all esti-
mates, and yet it amounts TO the sum Of
$7,00S to which add receipts from sales
of mutton, 81, ,760, and it gives total cash
receipts for five years the sum Of Sl2, ,76S.
TO this add the value of the flock on

gives the sum Of S32, 200, and a grand
total of $44,9 ,988. In the foregoing esti-
mate have made no estimate of the val
ue of the pelts, which are SO well calcu-
lated to take the place Of wild furs in the
manufacture Of robes, ladies furs, etc,
and for which there is now steady and
increasing demand. In view of the fore
going, and also that nearly all Of our val
ley lands are appropriated to the cult
walton of grain and that We have in our
foothills and mountains thousands of
acres of wild lands that will be open and
uncultivated for time TO come, that are
peculiarly adapted TO the habits, and sue
cessful growth of this animal, does it not
offer greater inducements for investment
of small capital than any other enterprise? I?

A PYRITEs GRooM.-California will
appreciate the following from an Eastern
exchange : A verdant-loolting Vermont
er appeared at the office of chemist
with large bundle in a yellow bandan-
ma, and opening it, exclaimed: "There,
doctor, look at that" Well, said the
doctor, " L see it," What do you call
that. doctor?" 81 call it iron pyrites."
4" What! isn't that gold?" NO." said
the doctor, and putting some over the fire
it evaporated up the chimney. Well,"

A RIVAL no TEA AND CoFFEE.--Tea
and coffee are threatened with "A Brazilian
rival called guarana. Guarana consists
of the seeds Of tree known to botanist
as the pautinds s0rbitis which is very
abundant. The tree produces fruit about
the size Of walnut, containing five or
six seeds. The seeds are roasted, mixed
with water and dried. Before being used
they require grinding, when they fall
into kind of powder. The active prin-
ciple is an alkaloid identical with that
found in tea or coffee, but there is twice
as much of it in guarana as there is in
tea. The effects are similar to those Of
tea and coffee.

BUDDHIsTs consider the white elephant
sacred. When his Siamese Majesty dies
his soul enters one of these majestic
beasts, therefore no reigning monarch
ever rides one. 1t would be impolite to
mount the back of one of his royal pred
ecessors.

Shearing when one year old, and from
and inclusive of q up, it will be seen
from the scale that the first fleece will be
clipped in the Spring Of 1878. 1t will be
perceived that | have somewhat encroach-
ed on the year 1872, as have made no
allowance for CESSATION, five months),
but | have allowed for only one kid n
year and one kid at birth, while it is
well-kown that the common goat will
have kids almost twice year, and gen
orally two and frequently three at birth,
so that practical results will go beyond,
rather than fall below my estimates.
Hence, to find the Increase and grades of
any number of which thirty-two is fac
tor multiply the figures Of the foregoing
by the other. Example: Suppose you
have 256 female goats, multiply the fig
ures in the scale by eight and you have
the result. Again, it is asked, will they
be profitable? To this | answer, yes
and submit the following estimate. TAX
ing flock, say 3Sl common ewes, and
applying the foregoing rule of increase
gives us the following result;

Now, as one-half of the above figures
represent wethers, and as it would not be
profitable to keep any Of lower grade
than seven-eights for wool, ! propose to
dispose Of all below that grade Tor nut
ton, average price three dollars per head,
to be sold when one year old. This
would give for first sales in the Spring of
1873, 1872 head, l also propose to shear
all, beginning with seven-eights and run
ming up, to be shorn when one year old,
average fleece four pounds, average price

HORACE GREELEY.

Our readers will read with pain the de-
tails given in the CHRONICLE dispatches
of the condition of Mr.. Greeley's health.
From the facts given in those dispatches
there seems to be no doubt that the severe
mental strain to which his powerful intel
lect has been subjected for so long time
has been too great to withstand. Though
at this writing his death is not positively
announced, it seems it can not long be
ayerted. We do not propose now to say
more than that the terrible aff1iction which
has befallen him will be regretted as much
by those who earnestly opposed him
in the late election as by his later
ness he could not conceal. He was
easily imposed upon by those who APP
preached him in the pretense of friendship.
He was unsuspecting for man of his va
ried experience and wonderful ability.
Designing men during the late canvass
had deceived him as to his strength. He
remarked to gentleman in Ohio during
his September trip through the West, that
the people were his friends and no man
could deceive him. They had received
him kindly everywhere and many out of
natural curiosity went to hear him talk
and to see him. He believed all these men
would vote for him and the disappoint-
ment and remorse at his defeat, together
with his domestic affliction, were too much
for his overworked mind.
Whether his death be soon or late, it
would be great satisfaction to him, if be-
fore he died he could be given to under
stand the sincere and general sympathy
that is now manifested for him on every
hand. He has done great deal of good
in his life, and he deserves the gratitude
and good will of a people whose industries
he has helped to put upon a sound founda-
ton and for whose general prosperity he
has diligently labored for near half a
century,

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

France. President Theirs on the 18th
read his message to the French Assembly
in which he referred to and defended the
leading features of his Notwithstanding

fund the rapid appreciation of the public
credit and the peace and gratifying recu-
peration of the people. The address was
referred to committee of thirty for con-
sideration. A majority of this committee
