A. +. s,ewar, sail. for Europe.

Mr.. A. T. Stewart sailed in the Scotia for
Europe to be absent until October. He
was accompanied by his wife and Judge
Hilton. Several floral offerings were sent
to the Steamer as tributes of regard to the
departing tourists.
Mr.. Stewards latest previous trip to Eu-
rope was made in 1867. His present de-
parture is made to recuperate his health
and enlarge his business abroad. In the
interval of his absence he will visit the
principal European capitals, In most Of
which he has branch establishments of his
New York dry goods palaces. 1t has long
been his ambition to make some of his
transatlantic houses equal in magnitude to
those here. While in Paris he will rear
range his store there, which was recently
lett without a manager by the death of
Francis Worden, who was his resident mil
lionare partner in the French capital. His
longest stay will be made in Vienna. Mrs.
Stewart will stop at an English watering
place the most of the time her husband Is
travelling on the Continent. In addition to
extending his business, Mr.. Stewart will
also order the latest fabrics and novelties
that are manufactured in Europe for his
Broadway stores.
The sea voyage and tour that he has I'M
dertaken are somewhat remarkable, con-
sidering that he is in his SEVENTEEN year and
has but just recovered from severe illness.

A DEspIoABLE MUIE.-Thc negro and
mule (writcs friend in Clinton, Louisia-
ma are inseparable companions in the south
ern cotton fields, and, like the Hawaiian
string and bow, useless each without the
other The lazy Indifference and careless
cruelty of the one, and wonderful powers
of endurance of severe labor, bad treat
ment and neglect of the other, complete
the compatibility of the two races neces-
sary for the production of 100000 of
bales. A characteristic anecdote may be
relishcd by those who have had experience
of the two. The spectator had taken re-
fuge from the suns rays under the shade of
a spreading beech, and lay recumbent, en-
joying the fitful brcezes and the sombre
frothiness of the country newspaper.
Along the dusty road which passed by this
retreat came jogging n negro, mounted on
a mule, both apparently fast asleep. As
the sommolent pair approached the spot.
some wicked sprite of the place gave the
paper flirt, which was no sooner seen and
heard than the mule, as mules only know
how, instantly 'swapped ends" and leav-
ing the negro sprawling in the dirt, took
his departure, under full sail. The negro,
half raising himself, and wiping the dust
from his eyes and mouth, watched the re-
treating mule for some time i'm silence, but
at length, unconscious of an auditor, gave
expression to this philosophic soliloquy:
Oats what makes me 'spisc mule -,

THE ISLAND OF SAN JUAN.--A San
Francisco Chronicle correspondent has
been interviewing the village San Juan, in
our newly acquired island possessions of
that name. lie gives his impressions !:
"At the place of landing we found one
street with about twenty houses and only
one family. The head of this family used
one of these houses for the eating de-
partments of a'hotel, another one for the
sleeping apartments, another for billiard
room, another for sheep-pen, another for
a grocery, another for barn, another for a
saloon, another for postoffice, another for
chicken-house, another for his own resi-
dence; and as his family were all females,
and he had to run the whole town all by
himself, it was necessary for him to lock
up one institution while he transacted
business at another. When / informed
him that | was Chronicle correspondent
who came to write up the place, he imme-
diatelY threw open the whole town to my
inspection, and rendered me the freedom
of the city. He placed my baggage in the
sleepng-house, hung my overcoat in the
postoftice, took me to the saloon for a
wash, conducted me elsewhere formy sup
per, and soon had me thoroughly distribu-
ted throughout the place"

us very funny to watch the way in
which things work. So long as two
classes of men were likely to be benefited
by cheap transportation they wrought with
zeal, side by side--that is, the shippers of
products and the shippers of goods. But
as soon as it becomes apparent that the
shippers Of products not only intend to cut
down expenses by reducing rates of trans
portation but by cooperating to purchase
groceries, dry goods. ETC., at first hands,
ignoring the existence and profits of local
retail dealers, then there is a squirming
that is equal to. the wriggling of snake
with pitchfork tine through its head.
The scene changes suddenly. The farm
ers' movement is called ''contemptible
pettifogging The war goes into Africa !!
What right have farmers to buy goods at
wholesale? 1t is defrauding the local
trade! 1t is injustice 1t is OPP.
preston! Such combination is in
to'erable! IL is going to revolution
ize the whole social system! 1t is going to
defraud honest men of business rights
Alas! alas! What times are these, when
farmer claims the right to do his own
business in his own way, buy where he can
buy cheapest and sell where he can get
most for his products? Such demoralizing
action ought to be suppressed, to be sure.
What right have farmers to combine against
other combinations This question is be-
ing solved.

THE Madison Wisconsin, Democrat ia.

The Madison Wisconsin, Democrat fa-
vors a restoration of the ranking privilege.
1t SAYS: "Contracts for mail carrying arc
let to railway, canal and stage companies
and private parties once in four years. TIE
terms of the contract compel the contrac-
tors to carry the mail matter, great or
small, for that length of time, and the con-
tractor gets nothing for increase of weight.
The familiarity of the people with the
doings of congress and the various depart
ments Of government is of the highest
Importance. Hitherto thousands of
public documents in the line of valuable
reports and statistics Have annually
been published for public distribution.
The report of the commissioner Of agri-
culture in 1871 was of inestimable value
to the frontier farmer, and the demand for
the book was immense. So with hun
dreds of other public documents. Under
the franking privilege these could be
brought, with no expense, to the door of
many people who henceforth will be
obliged to do without them. The ranking
privilege, properly used, was an invaluable
benefit to the poor man. 1t was a gra-
cious blessing, especially to the frontier
man, NOM 81 NFa E

THE SAND CLuB.-A man was hanged
the other day at San Francisco for murder
with weapon of peculiarly dangerous
nature. This is club, formed by filling
an eel skin with sand. When this instru-
ment was brought into use the authorities
were greatly puzzled by deaths, apparently
from violence, yet no marks could be found
on the body. A burglar was finally cap
tured with such club in his possession.
Being questioned, he explained its use.
When the victim is struck, for instance, on
the head he drops insensible and soon dies
from congestion of the brain. Often the
skull suffers no injury from the stroke, and
if the person struck RECEIVERS sensibility he
gradually relapses into condition of idiocy.
Sometimes man struck in the body will
be knocked down by the peculiar force OF
the blow and feel no immediate results
from it. In a few weeks, however, the
flesh will begin to mortify under the line
of the blow and rot down to the bone.
Heller, the celebrated pianist, is supposed
to have met his death in Mexico from o
stroke of this diabolical weapon.

PoRTER's FoLLY.-A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune relates that. General
Fitz-John Porter, at the close of his mill
tary career, was sent out to Colorado to
develop mine. He at once began the
construction Of a stamp,mill, on which he
expended 500, 900, eXhausting his funds.
He then went east for more money, and
never returned, and the building remained
useless until last fall, when the officers of
the Colorado Central railroad, looking
around for a site for q depot, found that the
best one was occupied by this mill. They
accordingly gave the word to their master
mechanic, and he gathered together, his
workmen, knocked hole in either end of
the building, archad each of them over,
put in some partitions, and converted the
structure, long known as 'Fitz-John Por-
ter's Folly" into convenient and conmo-
dious depot. fa1I as

THAT there should be two snake stories

THAT there should be two snake stories
gliding through the country press at the
same time is an embarrassment of riches
calculated to cloy the most eager taste
for that sort of thing. The subject of
one of these tales sports the merry day
away in Lake Champlain, and is beauti-
fully formed for sailor, having anatural
hood on the back part of his head with cape
to keep the rain off. He has likewise very
broad mouth and smiles engagingly upon the
bystanders, as who should say, " APP
proach, O breakfa The other snake
is southern one, of an amiable temper.
A gentleman, while lately employed in
gathering the pleasant raspberry, became
fatigued and sat himself down upon what
he supposed was log. To his dismay he
Immediately began moving down hill, and
presently found that he was seated upon
the back of an immense snake. sixty feet
long, and corpulent in proportion. He
arose directly and gracefully retired.
