A Way They Have in Vienna.

IN Berlin and occupying himself with

many marks of royal favor. and WAS in

Apples for Cows.

All good, nutritious, succulent food
has a tendency to increase the milk of
COWS, if properly given. Apples, when
fed to COWS, should first be given in
small quantities, with great regularity,
gradually increasing, but never exceed
the moderate quantities which accord
with perfect digestion. Cattle some
times break into orchards, and without
any previous inurement gorge them
selves to repletion, and become sick
from over-eating, in which case the milk
is more or less dried up by the fever
disease. In feeding apples special care
must be taken to have them previously
cut, as from their smooth exterior they
are more apt to choke cattle than any
other food.

Liverpool Cotton Market.

The Exchange Flags" at Liverpool,
is the name for paved space between
the Town-hall and the Exchange, sur
rounded on three sides by the arcades
of the aforementioned building.
As the grand depot of American, In
dian, Egyptian, and every other cotton
for the worlds market, Liverpool COM
mands share of whatever is got by
spinning and weaving the 1eecy fibre in
most of the factories in Europe. One
consequence of this commercial position
is the presence, among those assembled
on certain days at the Exchange, of gem
tlemen of divers MISUNDERSTANDING
and Scotchmen, Frenchmen, Dutchmen,
Swiss, Germans, Italians, and Greeks,
with not a few Americans from New
Yoak or New Orleans, each keeping a
keen eve to the requirements of his own
particular mercantile connection. The
brokers, who are ready to buy or sell
for any body on commission, show the
greatest activity in quest of employment.
Bargains to the amount of thousands of
pounds sterling are concluded in three
minutes, talk, for every man is presumed
to know his own mind, or that of his

between the parties, but each of them
may, if he pleases, jot down the amount
of their transaction, five hundred bales

or whatever it be, in his little pocket
book, to be entered. in the diary at his
counting house after luncheon. 1t rarely
happens that there is any dispute after
ward, though neither party has a wit
ness to call. A sense of honor which is
derived wholly from social considera-
tions of their common interest will pre-
vent even an individual rogue from
breaking his word on the Exchange

this-that they cotton to each other.

Olivia, writing to the Philadelphia
Press of Morrissey's Club House, at
Saratoga, says: 1.-THE fascination of
the salon centres in the queer. looking
tables which surround the room on
three sides. Here the foreigner sees
the element of his beloved trente-et-
quarant, rouge-et-noir, and English
hazard, whilst the American indulge in
his native faro until his purse is as lean
as Pharaoh's kline. All games known to
the civilized world can be INDUCED in
the Duchy of Saratoga, only the games
of the Orientals and barbarians are left
out. That is faro table at the right
there is an elevation in the center longer
than it is wide, upon which are painted
some cards of each suit. This is done
that you can designate your favorite
card without asking. So as every table
at which cards are played all is fixed,
that the game may move on in silence.
Faro is the American gambling game,
just as monte is Mexican. The next
table is for English hazard; you stake
your money on the throw of the dice.
This is a favorite game with college stu
dents who declare they have passed the
years of twenty-one, but whose smooth
chins prove that nature has been long
time performing a very small amount of
work. That holiday table, so brilliant
in high colors, is trente-e t-quarant. And
here is roulette, the table at which wom-
en- in Europe go mad. There is no intri-
cate game to be learned it is chance,
apparently all chance. A small ivory
ball rests on a particular point. You
set the wheel in motion, stake your
money on some figure placed either on
red or black ground, and then wait
and see how near the ball will fall to
your number. How desperate are all
the odds against the player There is
no place for skill or human foretbougbt,
only blind, laundering chance. Where
can the fascination exist in attempt
ing to fight fate? In roulette an infant
can win Just as much as the wisest man.
All that is required of body or soul is
strength to turn the wheel. This game
is the lowest round of the gambling
ladder, where age can take the last
taste of its mental opiate before it ex-
pires. And yet the ex-United States
congressman and ex- Confederate judge
who made explanations, declared that he
had seen thousands of dollars won at
roulette. and that person who had no
practical knowledge of the business
had no way by which correct opinion
could be formed. After the roulette
tables another game is shown, called
red and black This game is made
up by taking certain attractive points
from rouge-et-noir and other European
games. It is simple, easily learned,
and finds many votaries In the younger

class of men. It bears the same rela-
ton to most other games that soda
water does to champagne. Many of the
foreign games have been what is called
Ameficanized, for there is what is called
the foreign table for the same kind of

CALIFORNIA; BIGGEST NUGGET. How
much we owe to California Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands of
our fellow citizens, and have proved the
main stay of America in times of nation
al pecuniary embarrassment. Her min
ing industries have given employment
TO myriads of mechanics and laborers.
She is the land of promise to the fortune
seeker. But the golden state has lately
sent us a new treasure. Her last mug
get is DR.. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters. The health-giving principles
contained in this curative are a more
precious boon than gold. In all affec-
tions of the liver and stomach, remit
tent and intermittent fevers, rheuma-
tism, and pulmonary diseases, it may
be relied upon. AS a blood depurent
and invigorant it is unequalled, purify
ing the circulation and infusing new
vigor into the debilitated frame. II
conquers that most unyielding of all
complaints-dyspepsia, and we know of
no other remedy that can accomplish
this. It's entire freedom from alcoholic
spirit, which retards and neutralizes the
effect of any medicine, and which forms
the basis of many of the pseudo bitteIs
and tonics, doubly enhances it's value to
the sick. The papers of the United
States vie with one another in doing
honor to DIR. Walker. We, too, add our
voice, and say all honor to the man
whose science and skill have enabled
him to draw from the vegetable king
