REMAEKS-The tone sf the live stock
market is in more healthy state than 1t
has been for weeks, not only for cattle.
but for sheep and hogs also. Prices IN
the West are still high, and shippers,
Notwithstanding the fair figures received.
complain that they are still losing. why
submit 10 the turitrlcvicd by the Western
stock raiScrS? If the Changers can
regulate the rates of railroad freight
cannot buyers and shippers of live stock,
in some degree at least, control the prizes
81 that they NAV have fair margin OF
profit for their time, trouble and use OF
their money? But if drovcrS are willing
to e. work for nothing and board them
selves" il j. none of our business.
THE PROSPECT FOR THE WEEK.
The run of cattle, sheep and hogs for
Sunday. Monday and Tuesday is about
the same that il has been for the sam"
time for weeks past. In quality 1t differs
little. if amy, from that of previous
weeks. and it is not anticipated that th"r"
will be- much change in prices from thos"
of last week. Good stock may take IN
upward turn. but there Is little Likelihood
Of any advance on the medium and COM
mon grades.
THE MARKET.
A. vet the market has not fairly
opened, though goodly number ct
sales have been made, mostly /" the
local trade. Up to this hour but few
Eastern Luvrr, have arrived, lat num-
brr will arrive tonight and Pit III an
upprarancc t".morr"w morning. when
the trade will hrrumr lively and prices
fully established for the week. Thus Tar
the prices received do not vary maternal
J IL from those ruling last week. PrIm"
fat cattle. sheep and hogs are IN good dr,
mand. and all "f that class offered VIII
! meet with ready sale al full prices.
There are good many cattl" and hog
being shipped through East totir,t hands,
which will lessen the number on sal"
here. However, the supply will meet tn"
/ requirements of the trade. There are
some who shake their heads when inter-
rogated rs to the prospects OF tn" sheep
trade, and seem to think they ARE not
} rosy.
The usual number of milch COWS,
calves and lamb, have arrived. and more
are ON the way. During the next three
DAYS we anticipate II fair market, and are
of the opinion that prices wit ruI" hrm
for AL classes of stock, and that last
weeks rates will be fully maintained.

"There is no accounting for the ter

Iowa. The state is strange con-
glomcration of poor crops, poor fruit,
poor water, poor management, poer
cities, poor politics, poor laws and
miserable poor execution of them.
know of but one redeeming fea-
ture of the state, and that is its geo.
graphical feature, lying Immediately
west of Illinois, and making Chicago
its commercial metropolis. Bounded
on the east by the Mississippi and
on the west by Missouri rivers, and
drained to q frequent and repeated
dryness by both of them, and having
but few if any important streams run
ming east and west through the state,
it is no wonder it is 50 often afflicted
with the drouth, and its people com
PEELED to water their stock from
sloughs and themselves from cisterns.
In the old counties east of the divide,
the people talk Of emigration to the
new counties west Of the divide. In
the new counties west of the divide
the people talk of emigration to
Nebraska and Colorado, or Oregon,
and everywhere. All over the state,
there is more or less discomfort, with
but little desire to conceal it. Still,
Iowa is a good state for the New
Englander and the Scandinavian, and
what more can they ask?"
The above from the Chicago Times
is libel. Iowa has the purest wa

tic, the best managed public affairs
and the most undefiled religion OF
any State in the Union. Everybody
knows these are facts.

last year. OF hogs 2S places report
more, l59 fewer, II about the same
Of corn 10 report more, 100 less, and
35 about the same. The general
condition of the hogs is not as good
as at the same time last year. The
contracts already made are at the
rate of S5 to 50 per hundred gross
although in the larger number of in.
stances no contracts are yet made

There is disposition to market

The Manchester papers have the
following: "Some engineers in Ba-
den have just contrived an ingen-
ious piece of mechanism, which has
already been adopted in some of the
public buildings and streets Of Hell
delberg. The object is to provide
for the simultaneous lighting of the
easlights of the town. This has been
done both in Paris and with us in the
Albert Hall by the use of an electric
wire, but the German engineers have
invented method more simple and
durable. Their apparatus can be af-
fixed equally to all gas-jets, and it is
made to act, not by any special me-
chanism, but simply by the incress-
ed pressure Of the gas, which is al
WAYS laid on from the gasometer
when the lamps should be lighted.
The one act Of turning on the gas 1t
the main ignites it vt all the burners
fitted with the new spparasus. In
achieving this result the designers
did not really obtain any very prsc-
teal advantage over the method Of
ignition by electricity. But they
pushed the invention still further,
and have proved that when the
pressure is diminished ut the main,
the gas n either be totally extin-
guished or let down to thread. II
is chiefly in the lighting ofthe streets
Of town that the invention will be
of practical use. Directly the gas il
turned on the whole city viii be sim
ultaneonsly Illuminated, and when in
the early morning the pressure - re-
dnced the light may he totally ex-

The Railroad Anaconda.

Andrew Jackson put All end to the
United States Bank because he held
that a corporation welding the power
belonging to thirty-tive million Of dol
lars was dangerous to the welfare OF
the country. But what would Jack
son have said to the great railway
combination which has just been
formed. The railway companies N.
Meeting this city with the Ohio rail
ways and those Canada roads which
form a connecting link between the
Erie and Central railroad and the
West, have formed an alliance with
twenty-three western roads, thus max
ing the railway business between
New York and Omaha virtually one
vast monopoly. Rates for passenger.
have just been decided by board o.
commissioners appointed by the com
panies interested, and all competitor
will be rendered, of course, impossi
BILE. The twenty-three Western
roads alone represent an aggregate
capital of s6O3,717,2s3.99, or more
than seventeen times the capital o
the United States Bank. The power
of this gigantic monopoly can hardl,
be overestimated by the most vivi1
imagination. If the United State
Bank with its thirty-fve million dol
lars was dangerous to the country
what can we anticipate from mon
opoly welding more than half bill

method of washing out the stomach,
which, on account Of its great sim
plicity, seems likely to make the top
ical treatment Of diseases of the
stomach, especially in cases of pois-
oning much more common. "a piece
of ordinary India-rubber tubing, such
as is used for gas lamps, about six
feet long, is used; one end is rounded
with scissors, and, if necessary two
holes are cut at . short distance from
the end. This tube possesses quite
sufficient rigidity to be passed with
out difficulty into the stomach. To
the outer end funnel is fitted, into
which can be poured either water or
a solution Of soda, etc., according to
circumstances. If the contents Of the
stomach are to be removed, the outer
end of the tube must be sunk to the
level of the pubes or even lower; then
the patient must make q short but
forcible contraction of the abdominal
walls. By this means the tube is 6ll-
ed to its highest point with the fluid
contents of the stomach, and becomes

flow until there is no more or till the
tube is stopped up. This last seldom
occurs, if the tube be Of moderate

In Mr.. Parkman's new work on the
Old Regime in Canada, an account is
given of how the e'rly French set
tiers were supplied with wives. An
annual consignment of young women
was shipped 70 Qnehec in charge Of a
matron appointed by the king. Her
task was not al easy one, for the
troop under her care was apt TO con-
sist OF what Mother Mary facetionsly
called "nixed goods An ample
bazar was proyid Il for The inspection
of the damsels. The awkward young
peasant or the rugged soldier was re-
quired TO choose bride without de-
lay. The new settler was at once en-
ticed and driven into wedlock. Boun-
ties were offered on early marriages.
Each young man who married before
the age oi twenty, and each girl who
married before tn age Of sixteen, re-
ceived twenty livres, exclusive Of the
dowry presented by The king. This
varied grculy i'll form and value. 1t
was some mc, house, with prosi-
sions for eight months. More often
it was fifty livres in household sup
Pile, besides a barrel or two OF salted
meat. No mercy was shown to the
obdurat. bachelor. Unmarried men
were forbidden TO hunt, fish, trade
with the Indian, or gn into the woods
under any pretense whatever. In
short, they were made as miserable as
possible. The success Of these mea-
sures was complete. No sooner did
the vessels arrive, than the young
men went to get wives, and the num-
Der was So great that they were often
married by thirties at a time
Throughout the length and breadth
of Canada, Hymen, if not Cupid, was
whipped into frenzy of activity
Doli,es de Casson tells us of widow
who was married afresh before her
late husband was buried" Ships
we're sent out freighted with girls of
Indifferent virtue, under the direction
of few pious old ducnnas, who divi-
ded them into three classes. These
ves,als were, SO to speak, piled one
on the other in three different halls,
where the bridegrooms chose their
brides as butcher chooses his sheep
out of the midst of the flock. There
was wherewith to content the most
fantastical in these three harems; for
here we're to be seen the tall and the
short, the blonde and the brown, the
plump and the lean; everybody. in
| short, found shoe to fit him. AT the
end of fortnight not one was left.
| am told that the plumpest we're Ia
ken first, because it was thought that,
being less active, they were more
likely to keep at home, and that they
could resist the winter cold better
Those who wanted wife applied 10
the directresses, to whom they were
obliged to make known their posses
sions and means Of livelihood before
taking from one of the three classes
the girl whom they found most te
their liking. The marriage was con-
cluded forthwith, with the help of q
priest and notary, and the next day
the governor-general caused the coup
lie to be presented with an OK, . COW
a pair of swine, pair of fowls, two
barrels of salted meat and clever
crowns in money.

begin and end on the farm literally.
The cattle could not be driven to th,.
brook to water, the plough taken TO
the shop to be sharpened, the horses
would have to go barefoot, milling
and marketing would have to be
abandoned, The farm itself would
have to stop. II is clear case III
law as well as in equity (which one
we presume our friend means bv
morality for hired hand to aid in all
kinds OF work necessary in carrying
on the farm, whether on or off the
farm-so that his life, health and per-
sonal comfort is not thereby endan-
gered.
Under the common law, if hand
contracted to work for certain time,
and failed in his contract. he was not
entitled to any pay. But our local
laws provide that the laborer shall
have reasonable compensation for
his labor though he does not finish
the contract. The courts, however,
VII ihsiuSt INC JuIOtS w tHakiHk UP
their verdict, that the defendent
would be entitled to all the damages
sustained by reason of the non-per-
formance of the contract. In this
case of Mr.. Mr.. Brown, it is clear
the hand was in error in not aiding
in cutting the neighbor's grain, MS il
was reasonable requirement, and
did not increase the amount of the
labor in harvest. And il he broke
off his contract on that account. Mr..
Brown would be entitled to damages
for the non.performance OF his con.
tract. And it is his duty in Justice
to the rights Of all parties, that he
should enforce it, If it costs him more
than it would to pay his hand off and
let him go. The prevalent practice
OF violating contracts for light and
trifling causes should be checked by
judgments in courts of law, and the
farmer of Iowa should know when he
sows crop that he will be enabled
to harvest it, by making contracts in
time.-Agl. Dept. State Register.
