Railroad conduosors.

From report presented 10 . Life
Insurance Company OF the Railroad
Conductors of the United States we
learn that during the year ending
August I, ls72, no less than thirty-two
conductors have been removed from
the association, either by sudden
death. disease or permanent disability
for life on the road. An examination
into the statistics Of these removals
shows the following facts; Sixteen
conductors met with death at their
post, Of whom eleven were on freight
tsains and ave with passenger trains.
Two conductor had each m arm
anputated. and one lost leg by acci-
dent; ono died Of suustroke on the
New Jersey Southern, tllFee died Of
spine disease, aud twelve died OF CON-
sumption. every one Of whom were
passenger conductors. II b . matter
Of grave confederation for conductor
generally that the disease claims such
large percentage Of their number
but II is presumable that eating hur-
ried meals. keeping irregular hours
and exposure to all weather Ia the
cause Of II. AZ the main railroads OF
this country are all earning large div
idends for their stockholders, they are
in condition to have . sufficient
number Of conductors % prevent them
from being broaglA TO early graves By
overwork. The post Of conductor on
. passenger train is fsarfuIiy respon-
sible one. The lives % hundreds Of
human beings are daily In their keep
ing. This being the case 1t 10 impor-
tant that they should have the full
possession Of all their physical and
mental vigor Ia order 70 meet any
emergency that may arise. This they
cannot have u compelled to run con-
stantly between widely separated
points. Iffailroads will employ more
conductors and pay them literally
they will decrease the mortality among
this class Of their employees and at the
same time increase the safety Of their
trains.

The Live Stock Of Iowa.

At this season Of the year it Is inter-
Getting to know the number and value
OF cattle, ewine and sheep In our State
as compared with the past year, as 1t
aida In determining the price Of beef,
young cattle, pork, stock hogs, wool
and mutton.
Hon. John Russell, Auditor Of State,
has furnished us with . copy of the
census taken by the Assessor last
spring, giving the number and value
Of the horses. cattle, swine, sheep, and
mules as returned BY them to the
County Auditors.
A the assessment Is taken prin-
cipally In the month Of February aud
March, the number and value should
date at that time.
BY thi. table we learn that there
were Of cattle .O67 ,257, valued at SILL
s27 ,s27. Last year the number of cat
tie was 959, 800, valued at Sll. .s32, $40.
II will be noticed tt.st while the num-
Der Of cattle has increased during the
year los, ,857, the value is $5,0l3 less
than last year, showing that while
there hes been . satisfactory increase
iu number the decline In value has
been 90 great - to exceed the value OF
the entire increase.
The number of swine this year Is
i.2iS, ,Sa2, valued q. S2.e2l 900, or but
e2.O2 per head.
Last year the number Of hogs was
zoos, ,s7l, valued 1t 81. .5s3, ,6sl, showing
an increase In number Of 233, ,22l, but .
de. .rease In value Of $82.Osl. We have
no means Of knowing what tho in
crease has been since March. but IL has
undoubtedly been very large, 40 corn
has been cheap, and the price Of pork
low, so that farmers have generally
raised all the pigs possible to eat the
surplus corn.

The Internal Revenue Bureau have
issued additional regulations relative to
dealers in, and manufacturers of, tobac-
co and cigars. They prescribe the man
ner of disposing of unstamped cigars,
&c. These regulations. contains clause
concerning persons who travel on rail
road cars for the purpose of selling to-
bacco and cigars. They will hereafter
be held to be dealers in tobacco instead
CT peddlers, and will be allowed to re-
tail from properly stamped packages
under special tax receipt as dealers,
provided such sales are made exclu-
sively in the car known as the smoking
car. The tax receipt must state
the route over which he proposes
TO travel. and the number
of the car the use of which is allowed
him for the purpose. The same rule
will apply to passenger steamboats, and
other vessels navigating inland waters.
This rule supercedes the one recently
adopted, which confirmed the dealer to
stand. The regulations state further,

Can a Dog Reason.

A tradesman in Lawrence, Mass,
owner of dog and cat, has been in
the habit of letting the dog go to mar
ket and buy his own meat. The dog
would bring the meat home and depos-
it it somewhere in the store, and when
feeling the cravings of hunger would
go and get it. The cat acquired hab-
it of stealing its meat, and the dog
would lie down near it, watch for the
thief, and when the cat came, would
drive her away. But at last he became
tired Of this business, carried the meat
down cellar and covered it up in the
sand. One day the owner of the dog
thought he would get the meat, bring
it up stairs, and see what the dog
would do After taking a nap, the
dog went down cellar in search of his
meat, and commenced digging, as usu-
al, but there was no meat to be found.
He laid himself down minute, as if in
thought, and then rushed up stairs,
and, espying the cat, event for her, ="
and chased her all around the store, as
closely as police officer in pursuit Of
q thief.

Pat and the PIG.

A countryman having killed pig, and
not wishing to divide with his neighbors,
as was the custom in that country, said to
his man (who by the way, was son of
the Emerald Isle):
"Pat, ifl give the neighbors who have
given to me piece ct my pork Fll have
none left to myself. Can you tell me
what am to do ?"
Be dad, sir" said Pat, "it's myself
that can do that same thing.
"Good," says the countrymen, rubbing
his hands and looking at Pat. Now tell
me what can do.O
"Faith, SIR" said Pat, "sure and when
the craythur Is claned, just be atther hang
ing it against the door where livery moth
er's son of thin will see it, and early in
the morning, before any one is about, get
up and take in your pig, and hide it away.
Thin, when your neighbors come. just be
afther telling them the pig was stholen
"Capital idea, Pat" exclaimed the
countryman; "Pll do it, by St Georgepl
So, when the pig was cleaned, it was
hung outside. the door, so the neighbors
might see it. The countryman anxiousl7
awaited the approaching night, and at
last retired to bed, but not to sleep. Pat,
under cover of the darkness of the night,
crept round the house and stole the pig. g
What was the astonishment of the coun-
tryman, when at early dawn he rose to
hide away his pig, but found no pig there,
can be better imagined than described. In
the midst of his bewilderment, Pat came in
with his usual "Top % the morning to ye,
sir" and giving him a knowing wink,
said:
Mastber, how about the pig ?"
"Well, Pat, the pig was stolen in re-
atty"
I" Faitn, and that sounds just as natural
as if you lost your pig"
"But you blockhead, [ tell you the pig
WAS stolen"
"Faith and be gorry, masther, the devil
a bit % me thought you could do as well
Just stick to that; it's as natural as life"
"By St. George" roared the now irrate
countrymen, 81 tell you that the pig was
stolen"
"Och e jabers," says Pat, "stick to it,
and your mel ghbors will behave you, and
q devil a bit of it they'll get Faith l

travellers room, and with great good
humor proceeded to solve the enigma.
He was friend of the young lieu
tenant, and famous as the deadly shot
IN France. He had received letter
the day before from his friend begging
him to come to F. and help him to
carry out ruse which he trusted would
enable him to marry the girl he was
passionately in love with
The moustached gentleman complied,
Left Paris, and reached F. in time
to receive from his friends lips parti-
culars of the stratagem he and the
young girl had concerted between
them.
That stratagem was perfectly sue
cessful. The little red faced man, as [
afterward heard, on his reaching Mar
seilles, wrote to the father of his IN
tended bride, apologizing for not hay
ing been able to keep his promise to
go down to them. You may believe he
took good care not to inform the faith
er of the real reason that had prevent
ed him from paying his duties to his
betrothed
The redfaced man, however, had no
intention OF breaking oil his marriage,
until he was accosted one morning in
the streets of Marseilles by the nous
tached gentleman, who asked if he
still persisted in his intention to marry
the young lady.
Certainly, -" was the reply.
Them" said the other, IF you
want to reach her hand you will have to
mount first on my dead body, and,
secondly, on the dead body of the lieu
tentant. Are you prepared to scale
these fortresses?"
Certainly not"
"Then go home; write.to the ladys
father that circumstances compel you
to abandon your promise to wed her.
I shall know by the day after to-mor-
row If that letter has been written. If
yes, [ will be your friend, and help
you, as I have helped the lieutenant, in
any love scheme you may choose to
enter UPON; if no, be prepared to meet
me in the evening.
The letter was written, and six
months after the young lady was mar
ried to the lieutenant.
