THF RIGHT TO DISMISS FIREMES WITH
OUT TRIAL AND CdARG Es-In the case OF
Philip Meredith vs.. the District of Columbia
lately heard by the supreme Court of this
District, IL was decided that a member of the
fire department OF the District of Columbia
cannot maintain personal action for his
monthly salary unless he has actively per-
that he has been removed without notice of
charges and trial will not enTitle him to
this remedy. The court did not express an
opinion whether the act of the legislative
assembly approved August Is, ISL, was a
limitation upon the power of removal: but
they were unanimous in holding that even
conceding this to be so, the statutory provi-
sion of the act of June -, 1873 thar in no
case should the salaries be paid unless the
duties were actually performed, was an alb
solute prohloltlon OF payment, whether he
was removed FOR cause or not, in case he

CIRCUMSTANCES, such as rich corn land,
healthful, dry pastures, or abundant
grass, with pure water, favor one or the
oller OF these specialties, it is best To fall
INTO them and to keep to them. But
Tor general purposes special crops or en-
Pioyments are rarely suitable, and
mixed farming is the best reliance. This
implies to roots, grass and grain; chiefly
lor feeding to stock, and only partly for
sale; The aim must be to distribute the
produce so that a good portion comes
PACK as soil manure, and the soil is kept
improving constantly in fertility and
freedom from weeds. Then immediate
advantage can be taken OF any excep-
Iional condition of things, and if grain
ooes not pay, meat and wool may be
made, and ifgrain happens to be high, it
may be sold, and some other cheaper
ieed be bought TO replace it. A sharp

average profit rom his business.-Ameri-

American Live Stock Abroad.

Noticing the expectation Of live stock
from the United States, the E~dingburgh
Currnt remarks: Stock breeders in
this country, feeling that their profits
are seriously threatened by the develop
ment OF the American meat trade, have
perhaps thought it might be worth their
while to turn their attention to horses.
They will, however, be disagreeably disap-
pointed tofind that even this straw is likely
to be snatched from their grasp by the
enterprising yankees, who are endeavor
ing to supply us with beasts of burden as
well as butchers meat, and have taken to
importing not only dead oxen, but also
live mules. Seventeen of these useful
creatures, born and bred in Kentucky,
were the other day taken ON board the
steamship State of Pennsylvania, en-
route for Glasgow, where they are to
perform the work of dray horses. No
finer animals of the kind are, it is stated,
to be seen, one of them standing sixteen
hands three inches high, and built in
proportion. They came from Stonewall,
in Scott county, KY, and are three
years old. When shipped on board they
appeared to be in good spirits, for they
were, according to an American paper,
" kicking up behind and before" 1t is
to be hoped they will have toned down
a little before arriving at Glasgow for
the Scotch are, as they will find, a serious
nation and not to be trihed with. This
is said to be the first shipment Of the
kind to Europe, but about forty more
mules are to follow in a week or two.
