Inauenee or the stock s.Ie,.

The evidence given by recent successful
sales ofshort-horns, of the course of i'm
provement in general stock breeding is
most, encouraging. Seventy-seven
members of the Glen Flora herd have
scattered among breeders in eight States
and Canada, at cost of nearly sos, 900,
and an average of $40 for each animal.
At the sale Of the Lyndale herd 79 ami
mails realized over $4,000, with the
high general average of over 81 600:
The result eff the sale of the herd of
General Meredith, of Cambridge,
Indiana, made up ofanimals not belong
ing to highly fashionable families,
proved that good working herd posses
ses acertain market value for its essential
merits of blood and bone, with nothing
taken to account for style or fancy. Fifty
three animals were disposed Of here for
over $4,000, a general average of more
than $3.50. The grand total of the three
sales was S205,8l5, and the average Of
2O9 animals was 1884 rs. The fact that
these 209 animals have gone from the
hands ofthree breeders into those of a
large number in no less than seventeen
States, leaving Canada and England out
of the question, is of noticeable signif-
canoe. In their new spheres of useful
ness, whatever of excellence these choice
animals possess will be added to a hun
dred herds and will influence for good the
stock of the whole country in the course
Of a few wears. And as their descendants,
scattered through the valleys ofour East
ern rivers, and the broad plains Of the
great West, each increment of value will
make up in the whole Il vast sum in pro-
portion to which that expended at these
sales, will be mere trihc 1t is in that
power to raise the standard ofour common
stock to treble its present value, that the
intrinsic worth of these fine cattleis found

Business Prospects.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The fall in the price of wheat, equal to
20 ppr cent within the last few weeks
has caused not little anxiety among
thoughtful men. 1t is matter OF so
much importance u the entire country
that further discussion of its probable
effects upon our business Interests Is IN
order. 1t is stated that the wheat crop
in Europe is so generally good that
every nation will have enough for ITS
own wants. except Switzerland and Eng
land. OF course, the little Alpine
Republic will draw its supplies from
the ncighboring provinces in France ana
Germany leaving only England
for whose markets America will have to
compete with tho granaries of the
Mediterranean, the Baltic, and the Black
seas. The settling down of prices l.
therefore, inevitable, and how low Il
figure will be reached within the next
year it would be presumption now I" at
tempt to predict. That must depend
upon the actual surplus that the crop on
both sides of the Atlantic will yield, and
the necessity pressing upon holders To
,rll. or. rather. their ability to hold over
their surplus for a higher market here
after.
Though wheat is one ofour largest and
most valuable staples, we have other
products To sell to foreign nations when
will pay for all their products which II Is
really necessary for Us to consume. Last
year Great Britain and Ireland took
from us 81. 790.S76 bushels Otwheat and
29,334. 75S bushels of corn. Now, II our
wheat should be driven entirely ont OF
the English market, and say one-halt OF
our corn, the loss in our exports would De
about $45,OOOOOO. The true course for
our people to take. under the clrcum-
stances. would be to buy that much less
from Europe. They only need to lessen
their consumption of wine and silks I"
make up the deficiency. The total vaIue
of our domestic products exported 10
foreign countries for the year ending
June 80, 1873. WAS 515.227,0l1. Now
if ~. 900 900 be deducted for the wheat
We should have to hold over II none oil
/ il, and only half as much corn aS last
/ wear. be taken from us by Great Britain,
We shall still have $530.000OOO to pay
for our interest and such articles OF ne
ccssity a. we may he disposed TO buy
Among the articles of export last year
the value Of our cotton was 81 .24",o""'
and the addition to the total sum above
given &73.9O5Ol7 in coin and bullion
were sent abroad The lesson suggested
by the decline in the price of wheat Is
that our people should continue to prac'
tice economy, Indeed they must do 50

The Fellow that Looks Like Me.

Max ADLER, who writes for Phila-
delphia paper, has friend named Slim
mer, who deserves pity. He was going
up to Reading not long since, and when
reaching the depot he happened to look
in the lady's room. A woman sat there
with lot of baggage and three children,
and when she saw Simmer she rushed
toward him, and before he could defend
himself she threw her arms about his
neck, nestled her head upon his breast,
and burst into tears. Simmer was
amazed, indignant, contounded; and
ere he could find utterance for his feel
ings, she exclaimed
80, Henry, dear Henry! we are
united at last. Are you well? Is Aunt
Martha still alive! Haven't YOU longed
to see your own louisa
And she looked into SINNERS face
and smiled through her tears.
Madam" said he, solemnly, eff am
the person alluded TO rs Henry, permit
me to say that you have made mis-
take. My name is Lemuel, have no
Aunt Martha and don't own solita-
rv Louisa. Oblige me by letting go
NV coat; it eXCitcS remark.
Then she buried her bonnet deeper
into his waistcoat, and began to cry
harder than ever, and said
20, Henry, how can you treat me 50?
How can you pretend that you are not
my husband?'
MADAM screamed Simmer, "if you
don't cease stopping my shirt BOSOM
and remove your umbrella from my corn,
shall be obliged to call the police. Let
me go, ! say
The children are here" she persisted.
They recognize their dear father I;
don't you, children p
Yes, yes, they exclaimed, ''it's pa !;
its our own dear pa.
And then they grabbed Simmer by
his trowScr legs and hung to his coat
tail.
woman = he shrieked, "this is get
ting serious. Unhand me, say
And he tried to disengagc himself
from her embrace-while all the brake
men and the baggage master, and the
ncwsboys stood around, and said his
conduct was Infamous.
In the midst of the struggle a stranger
entered with curpet-bag. He looked
exactly like Slimmer-and when lac saw
his wife in SINNERS arms, he became
excited. and floorcd Simmer with that
carpct-bag and sat on him, and smotc
his nose, and caromed ON his head and
asked him what he meant. Simmer was
removed on a strctcher, and the enemy
went on with his wife and family i'll n
cab. He called next day to apologize.
His wife had made the mistake because
of SINNERS Likeness to him. And now
Simmer wishes he may soon be kicked
in the face by mule, so that he will re-
semblc no other human being in the
world.

A Truthful Sketch.

Let man fail in his business what a wonderful effect is has on his former friends and creditors
 Men who had taken him hv the arm, laughed and chattered with him by the hour. shrGg up thei. shoulders and pass him by with a chilling "how do you do?" Every trifie of a bill is hunted up and presented that would have not have seen daylight for months to come but for the debtor. lift is paid, we'll and good; if not the scowl of the sheriff meets him at the corner. A man that has nev- CT failed knows but little ofhu- man nature. In prosperity he sails along gently waited by ia. vorite smiles of and kind words from everybody. He brides him. self on his good name and spotless character and makes a boast that he has not an enemy in the world. Alas the change. He looks up. pOn the world in different light when reverses come upon him. He reads suspicion in every brow. He hardly knows how to move or whether to do this thing or the Other-for there are spies about him and a writ is ready for his back. To understand what kind of stuff the world is made of, a person must be unfortunate and stop payment once in his life- time. If he has kind friends then they are made manifest. A fail ure is moral seive; it brings out the wheat and leaves the chaff. A man thus learns that words and pretended good will do not con- stitnta real friendshlp.

The Latest Rat Catcher

How is this for a way of catch. ing that noble animal, the rat? The Burlington IOWa) HGiObeye Says q liisn mas invented d patent rat trap that does not require any bait, and will fetch a rat every time it reaches for him. It Oper- ates on the principle of a stom ach pump-the inventor is a retired physician, "the sands of life have nearly" etc.-and the trap Is placed at the mouth of the rat hole. When it is wound up and the suction begins the rat comes; He may hold on tU the ground with his teeth and hump his back, and paw his dirt, aud weep, and yell for the police all he wants, he comes out of that hole backwards, is dragged into a back compart' ment, where steel glove drags his hide off and lays it aside for a kid glove manufacturer, while the carcass is pushed into a little furnace and cremated.
