good, farmers are busy harvesting and
preparing their grain for market. The
yield has been satisfactory and above
the average. The facilities for hand
ling the crop, 1t is thought, will attract
a larger amount u grain than ever to
our city. Once the farmer sees grain
handled aud stored by the eleva-
tor, he win ship or sell here.

The Depreciation of Silver

The depreciation of silver becomes
more and more alarming, as it now
amounts TO 20 per cent. The London
Times Calcutta correspondent writes
that the exchange question now occupies
the public attention to the almost entire.
exclusion of other topics. Whether the
lowest point has been reached, whether
the depression will be permanent or
temporary, and whether any, and what,
remedy is possible, are the main subjects
OF conversation among all classes. The
rate now is fraction above one shilling
SIX pence per rupee, so that RENTING
small sums costs about 35 per cent.
Large sums cost slightly less. This
tells severely on persons with fixed in
comes, and all having families at home,
but the inevitable rise in prices on all
imported articles makes serious differ
eence to everybody. The Government
loss will nearly equal the gain from the
opium revenue. Except the mutiny,
this is tie worst crisis in Anglo Indian
history, and there are few instances any
where of calamity so crushing and so
general. If the depression continues,
it will probably paralyze the import

Municipal Indebtedness,

American cities and towns have had a
costly experience of home rule, and their
enormous debts show how dearly they
have paid or will have to pay for tho
privilege. But they are not alone.
Some of the English cities have INDUCED
in the same experience. London owes
912, 900, 600, and the four cities of Brad
ford, Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester
are indebted f14,500,000. These are
small in comparison with the municipal
debts of some of our cities, but they are
large enough to excite the fears of Eng
lish statesmen, and Parliament is trying
to devise some way of checking their in
crease by law. The entire municipal in
debtedness of England amounts to
500, 500,0 900, which seems small to us !;
but the amount is rapidly increasing,
and it is proposed to fix limit in pro-
portion to the valuation of its property
beyond which no city or town shall be
permitted to contract debt. The
necessity for this interference on the
part of the central Government to pro-
tect the people from the folly and OPP
pressiveness of local misrule is one OF
the suggestive acts of the time.

upon the horse. He was very fond of
his horses, and liked to see them thor
oughly groomed. The manner in which
his white horses were kept is curious.
Mr.. G.. w. =. Curtis states that the
night before they were to be used they
were entirely covered with paste, the
chief ingredient of which was whiting,
and were then completely clothed, and
left for the night to sleep on clean straw.
BY the morning this coating was hard
and dry, and it was then brushed and
curried off, leaving the hair beneath
beautifully white and glossy. After this
the hoofs were blackened and polished.
To complete this curious toilet the
horses mouths were washed, and their
teeth picked and washed, when they
were considered to DO groomed, and
were ready for work.
