Importing shOrthorns.

There have been few, ifany, impOrta- tions of Shorthorns this year, and for reasons of economy there will be few, if any, in the future. Rollin P. Saxe, who has been engaged in bringing Durham cattle to this coast from Ken lucky for several years, says that Short horns bring higher prices under the hammer in Kentucky at the present time than could be obtained for them here after paying freight and other ex penses of importation. He is of the opinion that before the expiration of another decade, Calif, mia will send prize animals to Kentucky to be sold at public sale. This State is stocked with cattle from the breeding herds of the old and the new world, but there is no sale for them at fancy prices. Event ually the native blood will be bred en- tireiy out of our herds, but this will be done gradually without further impor- taiions.
 The sales of Shorthorns in England thus far this year averaged $236 each for 300 head. In the Western States the average price recelyed at the pub lie sales was $3Sj a head In some in stances herds were sold at prices ran g- ing from 5000 up to 1900 head. This average is considerable higher than the maximum prices received for selected animals sold at public sale in Caliiornia.-S. r. Bulletin, Dec. ?.

We clip thIs from an exchange:
 Among inc richest gold ores known are the combinations of telluriUm, gold, silver and lead, with sulphur or antimony. Pennsylvania and Virginia were the most noted localities until they were discovered in Colorado, where they have been found in greater abundance and forming more persist ent veIns than in any other region.
 While in San Francisco, recently, we were examining some rich ores from the Silver King in Col Barney's .piL ce, and a gentleman present assured Us that the King ore contained consid- erable tellurium, and other men of scientific alainments gave us the same assurance; and further, from conversa ti0ns with Colorado miners of expe- rience and with these here referred to in connection with the King ore, we have no doubt but the presence oi tellurium in gold and silver veins, is indicative of permancnce, richness and extent. Aside from the many ab Solute proofs of the great value of the King mine, we can but regard it of still greater value because of the pres ence of this rare metal in the ore \ gentleman wrote Us last week that She  King mine would make big stir and name for Arizona and that very soon and we do not doubt that it will.

TIE San Francisco Post, speaking of the late death al Phenix of Dr. Young, says:
 A private letter from Phenix, Ari zOna. announces the death at that place, on the 27th Ul'imo, of Dr. Wm. U. Young, formerly a publisher of a health journal in thIs city, which, al- though a failure pecuniarly, acquired a good reputation as an advocate of hygienic reform. He Was ably assist ed edItorially by his wife, Mrs. Carrie r. Young, since better known as d lee turor on the laws of health and other topics. Dr. Young has written much for the daily press of this State on the resources of the State, and several of his letters have appeared in the Post. He has recently been engaged Tn the cultivation of a ranch near Phenix, carrying on at the same time photo graphic establishment in the town. He was forty-nine years old at the time of his death, which was caused by a se- were cold, resulting in congestion of the lungs

THERE is belief prevailing among interested parties, that the overthrow of the Lerdo government in Mexico, will ultimately turn out to the advan- tage of republican Cuba. The fact that General QueSada and his brother, we'll known Cuban leaders, are now en
 route to, or are in Mexico, is the basis, probably, for the belief referred to. Ouesada was an officer in Juarez's fore es during the MaXimilian occupation. Considerable effort has heretofore been made to secure active aid from MeXi- leo. President Lerdo. we have reason to know, at one time seriously COnsid- cred the propriety of taking active measures in favor of Cuba. Our gov ernment would have been willing at
 the time to have sold for a nominal sum to Mexico number of iTOnclads then and tilllying disuSed below New Orleans President Lerdo was so in formed, ard he took some time to con- slider the policy, deciding, wisely as we think, that the internal affairs of Mexico were more important than the overthrow O. Spanish rule in Cuba
 Diaz is believed to be more in sympa- thy with Quesada. But at present it does not look as if Mexico would soon
 be m a position to give any effective assistance, though in the disordered condition of affairs it is more than probable Quesada may be able to make Mexican territory a base for expedi- tions to the " Ever-faithful Isle" The Cuban patriots certairly do deserve some outside assistance, in view of the long-cOntinued and gallant struggle they have carried on. Their warfare begIns to tell, and the proof of it is best seen in the decrease of the sugar .crOp.-S. r. Post
