The Excess of Cattle I'm Australia.

In Australia cattle are far In excess OF
the demand, and will not sell for more
than can be realized from their hides,
tallow, horns, etc., for expectation. The
flesh Is almost valueless. An immense
establishment has been started there
for boiling the meat into condensed
soup or extract. The meat, cut into
large chunks, is inclosed in an enor-
nous tight cs Under capable OF holding
atty builocks at q time, and steamed
for seven hours. The tallow Is then
skinned off, and the meat, mere pulp,
Is further solidified and canned for ex-
portation. A bullock makes about
twenty pounds Of extract, as to the M.
tritious quality Of. which there Is wide
difference OF opinion.

A correspondent writing Of the Kings
visit to Seville, Spain, thus describes
the royal party's visit to one Of the
churches: ION small platform, bril-
liantly lighted up, were figures made; of
wax or carved wood to represent the
death OF our Saviour, and the Virgin
standing with the Apostles at the foot
OF the cross. These weird pantomimes
of sacred history are got up with great
splendor, and the robes of the figures
are made Of velvet embroidered with
gold. The ladies Of Seville lend their
diamonds and jewelry to adorn the Ma.
donnas. One of these images carried
$4,000 worth Of jewelry. Each in turn
was advanced to the balustrade OF the
royal dais, while military bands played
sacred music and the priests sent up all
around clouds OF incense. The scene
was the more striking when the last
procession marched past at nightfall.
and the square was lighted up by the
tapers; the royal dais was the only
spot illuminated with gaslights."
