The Hog CrOD.

The receipts of live hogs at the Stock
Yards for the month of October were
350,812 against 1876, 716 for the CORE
spending month in 1878, showing an
excess of receipts this year of 25,096
head. The average weight this year
was 1877 pounds, against 252 pounds in
October, 1873, a falling off of 55 pounds
per hog. Tue aggregate weights this
year were SO, 1864 pounds, against
1880, 532 pounds in 1873, showing an
actual decrease in weight this year of
1882, 568 pounds. Contrary to the
ordinary rule, theaverage weight of the
hogs received during October were 124
less than for the month Of September.
The most reliable information received
from the hog growing States places the
falling off In the number of marketable
hogs at ], $50, 600 head, and the indica-
tions are that the actual decrease in
weight will be equally as large in pro-
portion as the falling off in numbers.
Packers who have opened their houses
say that the hogs they are cutting are
generally deficient in the yield of lard
as compared with former years. This
| was to be expected, as it is useless to
suppose that the hogs cut this season
|, will be otherwise than poorly fatted, as
farmers are not inclined to feed corn
freely so long as it brings such prices

A Prosperous Texan.

In Southwestern Texas, there is q
cattle-rajser who has lived there twenty
years. On going there, he picked up a
dozen COWS, and branded them. He
had no land, but was the possessor of a
wife, two or three children, few dogs
and two or three horses. He kept
watch of his COWS, and lived in hand
to-mouth way several years, sustaining
his family by the capture of game and
the sale of skins. In May, 1873, he
owned 10000 head of cattle, duly
branded, and ranging over the plain.
He has family of nine children, five
of whom are boys. ~
His eldest child is a girl, nineteen
years of age. She can rope steer, kill
wolf with rife, or strangle dog at
arms length. In the mans house is a
nail key. nearly filed with gold coins,
while in the pantry is -four barrel al
most filled with silver pieces. When
he sells cattle. it is for coin, which is
dumped on the premises. He will not
take paper money at any rate, but is
always ready to sell steers for gold or
silver. The house occupied by this
prosperous family is low, built of logs,
aud contains three rooms. The father
and mother sleep in the dining room,
the girls sleep in the spare room, while
the boys sleep IN the addition.

The West is deprived Of the ordinary
means of remittance to the East to this
extent, and as consequence currency is
going to the East, and thus increasing
money in the New York banks. We
quote !: g This movement is unhealthy
both to the West and the East. At the
West it will produce more or less strin-
gency IN the money market, which, IN
der the existing condition Of trade, is
the last thing that can be afforded by
the people of that section. At the East
1t tends to check the expectation of
grain, and so helps'to produce a firm
ness in the foreign exchanges quite I'M
natural to this season Of the year.
Later in the season, our merchants must
expect to feel the effect of this grain
boarding in a backwardness of Western
collections with unsatisfactory conse-
quences this unwelcome anticipation,
however, finds some mitigation in the
fact that the indebtedness of the West
to the East is probably much less this
season than usual, in consequence of
the general depression of trade 81

Schneider.

Mile. Hortense Schneider, the Paris
ian queen of the opera boufe, was, in
her youth, a working girl, and the
daughter of a humble taller of Bor-
deaux. She is now, at about 40 years
of age, living in the style of sultana.
Her diamonds are valued at over
100000, and among her other Jewels of
fabulous cost is cited an emerald set of
surprising splendor. Her apartments
are crowded with the most elegant and
expensive furniture and Objects de vertu.
Bronzes and marbles, and pictures. and

rooms in sumptuous profusion. Al
though the charm of youth is forever
lost to Mile. Schneider, she still has the

test foot and tho merriest blue ewes
that flash and sparkle and entice. be-
hind the Partisan footlights.

Bad Beverages.

"Our community is greatly stirred by
the revelations made on the adultera-
tons OF, food. The, practice runs into
jellies, and especially teas and coffee.
They buy the berry, burn it carefully,
and have the aromatic beverage made
under their own eye. After they have
done all, they are only drinking white
beans. There is a machine here for
splitting beans and growing them.
They are then dried to the color of
coffee and soaked in a solution which
gives the coffee taste. Teas are sold
here cheaper than the pure article can
be bought in China. There is not tea
enough in all China to answer the Am
erican market, to say nothing Of the
million pounds consumed in England
alone. Then there is mile of houses
with boilers and coloring matter in the
open ports of China, run by English
and Scotchmen, whose business it is to
doctor the tea for the market for which
it is intended. This impure article,
made in huge kettles and dried in pans,
is called by the Chinese cheat tea. We
have houses here that openly advertise
that they can color and make over teas
OF any brand or style required, and Of
