High Prices for Cattle.

The highest prices for cattle ever ob-
 talned In the New World or the Old
 were brought by the leading specimens
 of the improved short-horn herd. sold
 near Utica, N. Y., the other day at auc-
 ton. The sum of two hundred and
 sixty odd thousand dollars, paid for fif-
 teen COWS appears almost incredible.
 But as some of the most noted breeders
 ot flne stock from England and from all
 the most famous cattleraising districts
 ot the United States were the bidders
 and purchasers at this sale the prices
 obtalned were bona tide, puzzled a
 practical farmers of the old school may
 be to account for the outlay of forty thousand six hundred dollars, or of even thlrty-tive thousand, or twenty-five thousand, or ten thousand for a single COW. But we see that the time has come when fancy cattle bring fancy prices, and that the picture dealers, with their Gold masters" are no longer to have the monopoly of fancy prices These. high sums obtained for improved stock, however, in encouraging our stock ralsers to procure and improve the choicest breeds, will have 8 good enect Tn promoting generally the pro- ductlon3f the finest COWS and the best beef, milk and butter that can be oh. talned from the choicest stocks and the best attention to this important branch of the necesoaries of life.
 It appears that one of the fortunate cattle raisers, upon one hundred and eleven of his blooded cattle disposed of at this sale, realized clear profit of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars Here is an example which cannot fail to inspire host of other cattle raisers to go and do likewise. Here are pre- mlums worth contending for, and here IS line of business for sure profits which cannot be exhausted. Doubtless the cattle breeders of our State fairs | now being held or soon to come on will appreciate the advantages of their po- 'ltlon from this Utica sale, and we shall nave this season throughout the coun- ry finer displays of improved stock of sL kinds than at any season heretofore. Thirty thousand dollars is considered ] fancy price for blooded horse of the pest pedigree !; but when @ choice COW brings forty thousand six hundred dol ars. and at this price is purchased to ,e carried over to England, our Amer can cattle raisers may we'll be proud of he high distinction they have won and f the boundless fields they command or producing the finest cattle in the vorld. .. r...., '

CAN IT BE TRUE Within the last few months considerable number of persons have called upon Dr. Walker, the proprietor of the popular medicine known as VINEGAR B1rTERs, and as- sured him that, in their belief. his preparation is an infallible antidote for rum and tobacco. The minute details which have been furnished him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of the state menus. This new claim of great rem edy to the confidence of the public will give a vast and well-deserved impulse to its popularity. Heretofore the Brr- TIERS have been recognized as 0 pure vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to the cure of stomach and bowel com plaints, nervous disorders, bilious af
 fections, muscular diseases, and, in deed, majority of the ailments within the reach of medicine but if it will also cure the craving for liquor and to- bacco, philosophers, statesmen and the ologians ought to unite their voices in it's praise. Can the good news be true 1? 1t IS easy to test the question.-Con1.

A Chinese Claimant.

History, tells us, says the PaU MaU
 Gazette, that one day during the reign
 of the Chinese Emperor Woo a gentle
 manly young man, dressed in Imperial
 yellow and seated in sedan chair cov-
 cred with the same material, presented
 himself at the gate of the capital. and,
 In reply to the questions of the officer
 on guard, announced himself to be the
 eldest son of the late Emperor. whose
 death had been publicly proclaimed and
 beWalled some years before. The news
 of the illustrious stranger spread like
 wlldfire through the city, and the man darlns hastened to seek an audience that they might offer the1r allegiance to their rightful sovereign. One of their number, however, more astuto than the rest, took with him Q pair of handcuffs and detachment of police, and on en- terlng the pseudo-Imperial presence walked straight up to the gentlemanly young man, and, instead of joining in the general kotow, fastened the mana cles on his wrists and handed him over to hls followers. His next proceeding was to introduce him to the torture chamber Tn his Yamun, and there. we are told, the sight of the various instru- ments hanging from the wall produced a visible effect on the claimant. who. after some slight hesitation, acknowl. ] edged that, far from having any right to the Imperial yellow, he was the son of poor parents, and that he had been induced to personate the lost heir-appa rent by reason of the strong likeness which he bore to him. This confession was duly reported to the Emperor Woo, who, after careful consideration. or dered the adventurous young man to be cut into ten thousand pieces. !

4 WOman's Scalp Torn Off.

The following terrible story is told in
 special telegram from Oshkosh, Wis consin:
 The girl, Amelia Grumen, who had her scalp torn of in shingie-mill. is still alive and will probably recover. She was working under shaft which was going at the rate of 200 revolutions per minute, when her hair, which was very long, caught in the knuckle-ioint and in an instant it was torn entirely rom her head, taking with it all the flesh and muscles on her head. From a line drawn around from each eyebrow her skull was left white and bare, with. out a trace of blood or flesh. The strangest part of the accident is that she felt little or no pain, declaring that when 1t was being torn off all that she realized was o tickling sensation in her head. She coolly walked out of the room and waited patiently for a buggy to take her home. Her only regret was the fright it would give her mother The scalp, with its beautiful long locks of hair, was curled and entwined round the shaft at the joint, and when the mill was stopped 1t was taken down, but no one had sufficient presence of mind to replace 1t upon her head. It is nearly Pertect, and the doctors have deter | mined to tan 1t with the hair on. sothat. II the glrl m recovers, it may be used as a | WIZ me case Is one of the most re- markaole on record, and has created a teellng of intense Irror here." l

What IS Wanted.

The most serious want of the interior at the moment in connection with the fall trade, says the New York Times, is money-ready money to enable it to push forward the vast, results of the harvest to the markets of the board. This want is more especially felt by for warders of breadstuffs and provisions. These products are in unusually brisk demand for home consumption and for export, particularly the latter. Our merchants thus far have been doing their utmost to facilitate the movement, sided as they have been, quite literally by those banks whose management has been most in harmony with the more enduring interests of the country and the maintenance of the public credit. If by the action of the Government and the banks our merchants can be enabled to. persevere in this way and thus helped in their efforts to bring the sur plus produce of the country to profita- ole markets, the commercial world will undoubtedly pass through the fall with out meeting with any very serious re- verses.

The Great Salt Lake.

As we neared the Rocky Mountains,
 says traveller, thin blue streak ap-
 peared beyond the marshes. It was the
 Great Salt Lake. Gradually the streak
 expanded until the surface of the sea
 was spread before us. A strong wind
 came from the northwest, and caps of foam danced upon the bosom of the waters. They were of dazzling white ness. The lake, however, was as blue as indigo. In some places it was streak
 ed with green as though veined with streams of sulphur water. We drove along the base of the mountains. which
 throw their rocky spurs to the shore line. Looking to the north nothing could be seen but the water heavin9 against clear sky. It was like gazing upon the ocean at Long Branch. The lake stretches toward the Central Pa clic road over hundred and twenty
 five miles. Fifty miles west it washes the borders of the great American Des- ert. It is a large body of water. Dela- ware and Rhode Island might be thrown into its depths and there would still be room for fair slice of New Jersey. On our right was Church Island. q moun- tain etched with sparkling springs and green valleys, nearly thirty miles long A similar island arose on the left. The lake is dotted with these mountain islands.
 Profile Rock is cliff which projects into the luke about twenty miles from the Tabernacle. Black Rock rears it's head from the water several hundred feet from the foot of the cliff. The waves dashed against these rocks with great fury, creating noise not unlike the roar of the ocean surf. The beach IS white sand, though in some places it is ridged with pebbles of variegated colors. Along the marshes the action of the water has thrown up breastworks of white sand, which line the shore for miles. All the stories about men riding down to the shores of the lake and shoveling up bushels of clear salt are false. The sand beyond the reach of the breakers has coating of salt, but it is as thin as sheet of foolscan Parties, however, go to the beach and boil down the water in large kettles. getting about B per cent of salt; but it can only be used for curing beef and pork. It must be refined before it is fit for table use. The water tastes like l spoiled brine, and smells like the sea weed of Long Island Sound at low tide. |
