A MEETING was held in London few
days since and resolutions passed pro-
testing against the restrictions on the
Importation OF foreign cattle, and soci-
Bty was formed to supply live cattle
Erom the United States for the English
markets. This is a move in which the
stock raisers OF this country are directly
Interested. No country In the world is
better adapted for stock raising than the
southern and western portion of the
United States, and could the present
opportunity be seized upon and arecog-
nition of our stock-raising abilities
properly urged, the result would be OF
NO inconsiderable benefit to this coun-
Try. During the past few years the
trade in Texas cattle has increased very
largely until it has attained an extent
greater than is generally supposed. The
sattle from Texas and the region south of
the Rio Grande are driven north as far
rs Kansas, and there fitted for the mar
ret, after which they are shipped to the
Eastern cities for slaughter and sale.
During the last year some 465, 900 head Of
Texas cattle were thus. put upon the
markets of this country. A considera.
bic portion OF the beef thus obtained is
packed for shipping. These facts, while
not relating to the foreign trade or de
mand, show the ability for stock raising
md transportation which this country
possesses. The Southern States car

they find abundant pasturage at all sea.

A FISH STORY The following fish story
is going the round of the press: Captain
Spicer, OF the New London whaling bark
Nile. recently returned to that poll, says
that i'll the alp-bone of two hundred
barrel whale, struck by his boats crew,
was found the head of Scotch gun har-
poon. Each whaling vessels harpoons are
marked so as to be distinguished from
those Of other vessels. and upon the har-
poon head taken from this whale was
found the name Of the Scotch whaler True
Love, and the date 1861 The True Love
has not made a voyage during the past
eight or ten years, and this fact, taken in
connection with the date stamped in the
harpoon, would indicate that the whale
had been carrying this ugly piece OF iron
around fer long time-not less than
eight years, and perhaps twelve or thir-
teen The whale was captured by the
Nile in Cumberland Inlet, while the True
Loves station was in Baiilns Bay. SO that
he was something of traveller. The har-
poon head weighed between four and five
pounds.

JUVENILE RECKLEssNEss A wee bit
girl in Cusco, Wisconsin, while at the
breakfast-table a few mornings since,
made loud and repeated calls for buttered
toast. After disposing of a liberal quantity
OF that nourishing article, she was told
that too much toast would make her sick.
Looking wistfully at the dish for mo-

her difficulty, and exclaimed, well, give

William Brown, of Oregon.
Ely JOAQTIN MILLER,

They called him Bill, the hired man.
And she they called her Mary Jane.
And lovers often drew rein
To chat and sigh as lovers can
Across the gate in snatch and catch;
And women Winked across their tea,
And said and truly so thought he.
That she would make splendid match
This hired man had loved her long,
Had loved her best and first and last
Her very garments rs she passed
For him had symphony and song.
50 when one day, with brow a-frown
She called him Bill, he raised his head.
lie caught her eve, then faltering said;
i love you, and my name is Brown"
She fairly waited with rage; she wept;
You would have thought the house a-firc
She told her sire, the portly squire,
Ihen smelt her ing salts and slept.
Poor William did what could he done
He swung a pistol on each hip,
He gathered up great oX-whip
And drove towards the setting sun.
He crossed the great backbone Of earth,
lie saw the snowy mountains rolled
Like mighty pillows, saw the gold
Of awful sunsets, saw the birth
OF sudden dawn upon the plain.
And every eve would William Brown
lat pork and beans, and then lie down
And dream sweet dreams Of Mary Jane.
The tetcr board Of life goes up,
The teter board of lite goes down,
The sweetest face must learn to frown:
The biggest dog has been pup.
Her lovers passed. Wolves hunt in packs.
They sought for bigger game; somehow
They seemed to see about her brow
The forkv sign of turkey tracks.
Q maidens, pluck not at the air.
The sweetest flowers have found
Grow rather close unto the ground,
And highest places are most bare.
Why you had better win the grace
u one poor cussed African
Than win the ewes Of every man
In love alone with his own face.
A. last she nur7ed new desire;
she sighed. she wept for William Brown
She watched the splendid sun 20 down
Like some great sailing ship afre;
Ihen rose and checked her trunks right on
And In the cars she lunched and lunched,
Ana had her ticket punched and punched,
OAtli She came to oregon.

According to the Newburyport Herald
the Newbury silver mines thai have lately
awakened such a furore in Essex county

according TO tradition, shafts were dug
and smelling furnaces erected, but with
out any substantial results Ever since
this venture there have been vague ru-
mors atioat that Newbury rested on a bed
Of silver, but it has been reserved for
Messrs Kelley and Shaw, who are now
working the mines, to profit by them. \
Boston spondent of the Tribune writes
that in the shaft now opened the ore grows
richer as the shaft goes deeper, the pro-
portion of silver remains the same About
ten tons are taken out every forty-eight
hours, keeping four men constantly at
work The ore as mined at present yields
$50 of silver, $40 Of lead, and 81 of gold.
q total of Sill The cost OF smelling and
separating is 800 ton, 50 that the profit
is about 81 10 a ton. Even if the hopes OF
the miners are fallacious, $1,000 day
profit is worth looking after. This is from
a single shalt only twenty-five 1eet deep

The RAILROADS AND THE FARMERS.
The western railroad laws, il they accom-
plished nothing else, were supposed at
least to favor the agricultural interests,
and benefit the farmers They were en-
acted under Granger influence, and gave
definite shape ard expression to the gen
eral complaints of extortionate rates OF
transportation Recently, however, the
Minnesota State Grange has formerly de-
clared that the existing State law for the
regulation of railroads is expensive and
useless to the people and vexatious to the
roads, and its repeal is accordingly de-
manded In its place, law is asked for
which shall guarantee cheap trarsporta-
ton for the products of the farm, especial
" wheat. 1t is a little curious that the
very trainers of this law, and those who
were most clamorous for its passage, have
come at length to see that it is ill-deyised
and impracticable, and works injustice all
round, without benefiting any one. The
Changers do not yet understand Just what
it is they want, and the Legislature is
therefore left to bungle away at it again,
without any new light or information to
help them. The law which the Changers
now repudiate was closely modelled after
the Illinois statutes

CROP PROSPECTS.

We learn from our exchanges that sew
ersl Of the States have suffered severely
from the effects of the late frosts Michi-
gan is one Of the greatest Winter Wheat
growing states in the union, and reports
from there indicate the probability that
she will not produce half yield this
year. The Peach crop Of that State is
usually immense, but this year it will not
be one tenth Of what it was last. The
state Of Illinois has suffered in the same
particulars, although less extensively.
Missouri and Nebraska have felt the frost
also, and report says the peaches and ear
ly cherries arc all killed. In those two
States the Grssshoppers have already dis
troyed large areas of the growing grain
and the farmers arc mcditating a resort to
fax rs the only product which can ma
ture after this late date. Southern Iowa
has suffered the loss of her peaches and
nearly all Of the early small fruits. The
prospects in Wisconsin and Minnesota
are usually favorable and we may reason.
ably anticipate a fair crop, unless the
grasshoppers develop into devastating
force, and scourge the land.
