1t is said that when the Shah presented
Earl Granville with a miniature portrait of
his Sublim:ty, set in diamonds, the noble Earl
borrowed a chisel from Disraeli, gouged out
the brilliants, and handed them back, saying,
as he drew himself proudly up, 'It is not
permitted British Minister to accept such
gifts" The true reason, however, appears
to be, that he hadn't any safe handy, and
was afraid to leave the Office with such valu-
ables about his person.

A PARAGRAPH ON TRAvEL.-Wha hat
has become of the snow plough in vogue
among the denizens of the First Ward last
winter, and which performed such excellent
service IN keeping the sidewalks clear of
snow? We hear this question asked every
day, but we believe no owe has yet rece ived
satisfactory answer to it. Cannot arrange
ments be made with its enterprsing
proprietor for bringing it again into service
for the benefit of the many pedestrians
who are obliged TO travel the streets to their
discontinue and at the extreme peril of
their precious lives. The walking now in
any part of the city is simply horrible, and
until the ordinance compelling persons to
clear the snow from their sidewalks is put
in force it will always be so. Is there not
power enough among our city officials TO en-
force this ordinance, the observance of
which is so essential to the comfort of The
people and the permanency of their limbs =?
Let US have clear sidewalks in future il pos
5ible.

The ADVANCE IN HoPs.-The hop
market is considerably excited, hops hav-
materially advanced during the past two
weeks. The Wisconsin crop is nearly all
sold, and but few lots remain in the hands
of the farmers. Some are demanding as
high as seventy five cents per pound for
what they have on hand. Hops have adj
vanced the past sixty days in New York
from 20 cen IS to So cents per pound. This
advance is a legitimate one caused by the
great demand in Austria. which country it is
now reported needs all the surplus of Eng
land and Germany. In face ofimportaton
the market for hops in this country steadily
advances. 1t is said that brewers general
ly throughout the country are short of hops,
and If this is true, as brewers must begin
to buy again soon there seems no help tor
FOR continual advance.

the soldiers land grant bill can get through

430, 900 acres, or would be an area about
l8 times as great as that of the state OF

bill would insure solely to the benefit of
spectators"
