THE PUBLIC PARK.-The scheme OF estab-
fishing public park in The vicinity of Rich
mond is growing in favor every day. A
short time since it was mentioned in the
D,spotch that a number Of gentlemen had
offered TO give to the city about three hun
dred and seventy-tve acres of land situated
in the west end and most desirably located.
The gentlemen already alluded to are Messrs.
L. D. CreDshaw, Polk, and .Wigand, besides
Mrs. Robinson and the estate of Mr.. Ben
Green, each OF whom propose to give
seyenty-tiYe acres adjoining each other. The
land is only about three and a half miles
from the corporation limits. It is proposed
to construct roadway one hundred and
fifty feet wide from the present terminus of
the Grove road to;a point leading directly to
the land which is offered the city, and which
is so admirably, adapted to the purpose for
which it is offered. The road is designed to
have four rows, of trees upon 1.-two on
each side-to be handsomely graded and
rolled by the city no vehicles of burden to
beallowed to go on it except those Of the
gentlemen who present the land to the city
ors.the city's land no railway to be built
upon the road. II is stated, however, that
in the event Of the acceptance by tue city of
the land, a company will, in short
time, construct a railway On the land
living between the : Westham road
and the Grove road, to the Park.
The country through which the grayelled
road to the park is proposed to be buit is
almost level, and there will be consequently
but little grading necessary. ALI persons
going out to the park win drive back by the
same road, this constantly meeting each
other arid making the drive fashionable and
pleasant. -sG - -. - 5,.,5, XVI,

The Trade i'm Wild Beasts.

AN article in the New York Times gives
some very curious facts respecting the
wild beast trade" in the United States.
One man in that city monopolizes the en-
tire business. He imports on order every
variety Of wild beast and bird, from an
elephant to Guinea pig, from an ostrich
to Java sparrow. Does the proprietor
of a menagerie lose his elephant, he re-
pairs to this gentleman's repository. He
states whether he would prefer an African
or an Asiatic elephant. He gives his or
der according to his fancy, and in due
time the animal arrives and is immedi-
ately shipped to where his new owners
caravan may happen to be. If an African
lion is wanted, a dispatch is at once sent
to Cape Town; if horned horses, giraffes
or rhinOceroses are in demand, orders are
at once sent out to ship to New York all
that can be bought or found
He employs fifteen men in Asia and
Africa to be on the lookout, and catch for
him whatever is wanted. As there are
more than thirty menageries travelling
over the country, each of which loses a
certain per centage of animals each year,
this gentleman has business enough and
is enabled to realize good prices. His
sales, it is said, average over 100000 a
year. We are told that, las general
thing" animals are captured when young
by the natives, acting under instructions
from the white agents. If lions are
wanted, the natives sally up the country
and either kill the parents and then Sc
cure the cubs, or track the lioness to her
den, and then, waiting till she goes for
food, selling the opportunity of takin @
the cubs.
In capturing elephants, they drive them,
old and young, in an enclosure, hamstring
the old ones, so as to disable them from
protecting their calves, and then easily
secure the young ones.
An African lion commands a higher
price in the market than an Asiatic lion,
on account of his more noble and com
handing appearance. His name is much
thicker and longer than that of his Asiatic
brother, and is black The quantity and
height of the name is the test of the value
Of the lions. An African lion sells for
$4,000; an AsiatiC one only $4,000. The
same with tigers. Royal Bengal tigers
will command $4,000 pair Camels and
dromedaries bring about $1,000 apiece,
but large camels have been sold for So. 500
\ good ostrich can be bought for about
800; elephants from $4,000 to $4,000;
horned horses, though they are really only
variety OF the antelope, from $500
upwards.
a very fair menagerie may be stocked
for $4,000; but some few of the giant
shows value their stock Of animals at two
or three times that figure The aggregate
value of all the wild animals in the differ
ent caravans in this country must approx
innate S2,5O0,000. In no other country in
the world are there so many kept in con-
tinnrnnnt

wise be able to reckon money and keep
accounts accurately; write neat appro-
pirate, and briefly expressed business let
ter, in a good hand, and fold and super
scribe it properly; and to write contracts.
The young man who is ready to do all
these can make himself useful not only to
himself, but to every one about him. and
he will be welcomed wherever he goes.
| have heard some boys say they did not
want to milk, and that it was girls or
women's business. / knew a family where
this opinion ruled The woman OF the
house did the milking; but one day she
was Frustrated by sickness. The country
was new and there were no nelghborS at
hand. Here was dilemma-not boy or
man could milk. 1t was finally settled,
and the COW was driven into the SICK
woman's room and by her bed, and she
was propped up and did the milking.
Every man who lives on a farm, even II he
expects to employ laborers for all his
work, should be a skillful plowman, and
he can then advise and help his men.
Some years ago there was great national
trial of plows in England. The Duke OF
Richmond was chairman of the judges,
and it was remarked that he held the
plows with his own hand with consum-
mate skill.
How much happiness the young man
might confer on others who should pos
sess the accomplishments already de-
scribed-and this happiness would gener-
ally react upon him with interest; and
how incomparably better would these all
be, and more worthy Of the love and re
spect of his friends, than the empty
ed, selfish hearted boys accomplishments,
who know only how to drive fast horses,
smoke offensive cigars, play games OF
cards, and talk nonsense to foolish young
ladies" at parties,
And what should every girl, or young
lady (if she prefers the namel be able to
do? She should not only have good lit
erary and scientific education, to expand
her mind, improve her capacity, and be
useful to others by her intelligence, but
she should be familiar with more common
accomplishments. She should be dexter
Gus in sewing and knitting, in mendlng
clothes neatly, in making beds, in wash
ing dishes, in sweeping carpets, trimming
lamps, and in plain cooking and making
bread; and she should keep her room,
closets and drawers neatly in order. She
should know how to run a sewing machine,
| to make and mend dress and children s
clothes. She should be ready to keep ac-
counts and calculate interest; to write,
| fold, and superscribe letters properly; to
nurse the sick, and not faint at the sight OF
| blood; and to be a comforter in an unos
tentations way to those who are in trouble,
and be ready to render aid to the distressed
or destitute. She should be ready to re-
ceive and entertain visitors when her
mother is sick or absent.
The young lady who can do all these
things well, and who is ever ready to use
her skill for the benefit of those about her
to aid the afflicted and to advise and help
the perplexed, is UNNECESSARILY more truly
accomplished than those who know only
how to dance, shipper, and engage grace
| fully in frivolous conversation.-Rurdl

employers who permit children to work

payment of certain compensation by
employers to persons disabled or rendered
intirm in their service to compel proper
sanitary arrangements in the construction

lastly, to appoint Government inspectors
empowered to see all of these measures
carried out fully and in accordance with
their spirit.
Such is brief outline of the sanitary
reform intended to elevate the working
classes of Russia. 1t is noteworthy, as
showing how modern ideas are beginning
to ferment in what was SO lately a vast re-
gion supposed to be dead or insensible to
outside advancement. 1t is perhaps well
for the stability of Russia that the Gov
eminent has initiated the movement.
Symptoms are occasionally developed
which show that even in Russia human
nature will bear only certain degree of
pressure before it will react. The Gar
