New York to Have One of CleOpatra's
Needles.
New York. Oct. 7.--The World OF to-day
has long article descriptive of the two
Egyptian obelisks Of rose cUlored syenite
known as Cleopatra s needles, which for near
ly 1000 years have stood on the shores OF the
Levant and announces an authorized state
ment to the effect that the khedive OF Egypt
has signiiied his Willingness to present the
city OF New York, upon proper application
being made to him, with one Of the obelisks,
the other having been accepted by England,
and provision made for its transportation to
that country.
The World urges the acceptance of this
magnificent present. of such great historical
value, and adds that the contractors who are
now conveying the English obelisk to it's des-
tnation are prepared to bring its companion
to America and erect it on any site that may
be selected for it, at a cost not exceeding
100000, the contractors assuming every
risk.
The obelsk offered to this country is seven
ty feet in height, and is the superior one OF
the two.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
False Claims Of the Central Pacific Read
as to Its Southern IRA ncl.
[5an Diego Uuion

[5an Diego Uuion1
It Is fully time that the monstrous
falsehood so ind1striously circulated by
the Central Pacific railroad monopoly,
that it's Southern Pacific branch has
been "built without subsidy" was
thoroughly exposed. The facts about
this matter are as follows:
Central Pacific railroad has received
from the government 13 600, 900 acres OF
the very bestl and In Southern Califor.
MIA. Much OF this land has been sold
at more than $1O0 per acre; much more
of it at $75, $40, $50, $50, $40 per acre,
the latter being the minimum figure for
thousands OF ceres. Take the whole
grant at the ridiculously low average of
$40 per acre, and we have land subsidy
OF $3.50, 100000. But, in addition to this,
the road has received aid in county,
city and private subsidies amounting to
the total sum of over ~ 600, 900. Here
we have q grand total Of national and
local subsidy to the Southern Pacific"
of 1882, ,0Oe, ,000l
And now Stanford, Huntington,
Crocker 30 Go. go 70 Congress and ask
that the land grant OF the Texas Pa
cific road be given to them.
Let us compare what the government
has done for the two roads: 1t gave the
Texas and Pacific road less than Is, ,0o0.-
900 acres OF land, all Of it Except on
in the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona. Military officers, familiar
with the country, have testified that the
average value Of this land grant Is not
one-half the government minimum
price OF 81 rs per acre; but allowing
| the full government minimum price,
the value Of the grant is, in round num-
bers, $18, $50, 900. Here is difference
in favor of the Southern Pacific OF
| $111, ,250, ,000l
But let us carry out the comparison
fully. Let us figure up the whole amount
Of national, State, municipal and private
aid given to each corporation. Accord
ing to the last report the total amount
of the land grant OF the State of Texas
to the Texas Pacific road is 4, ,951 sos
acres, which is valued by the State Land
Department at an average Of 81 per
acre, or q total OF $9,903, $40. The aid
granted by counties, towns and other
wise, amounts in all, according to the
figures Of the givers mot the company,
to the sum Of S785,000. Now let as re-
capitulate.

half opened bud there will be evolved
the rich perfection Of the llvely fOwer..
You ufrst think it troublesome some
times to be so particular as to the way
you speak to the people in your own
house. "It is only brother Dan or cousin
Matilda you say; why should mod
ulate nv voice, and soften my tones. and
be so gentle in my bearing Just to them ="
Because it is the being lovely aud courte-
GUS and winsome every day and 81 day,
t. the brother and cousin, to the compsn-
ion and friend, to the child and the SER
want, which will mold you into gentle
woman, whose manners will be as much
part of herself as the inner t1ber of her
character. To such one it will be as
impossible to commit an act Of rudeness
as to tell lie, and as natural to say and
do agreeable things as to put on her gloves
before going to church.
And now for more advice. Do not
use slang. The average school-gi has,
regret to say, quite vocabulary OF
slang, all ready for use. Young laoies
who look like the very pinks of proprie-
ty allow themselves to utter phrases
which are scarcely excusahle in their
brothers. and which shocking offend
every. tradition of elegance and every
canon of taste. They do it for fun, and
may moi only become a hateful blot on
their beauty, but which may seriously
hinder and obstruct them at some fu-
ture period. g By thy words thou art con-
demned, and by thy words thou art justi-
fied,n we are told in the Book of Infinite
Wisdom. m.-Ars. N. E. Sangster, in Chris

A Few Words to Girls.

AwEIL-BRED girl will not laugh and
talk so loudly that she will attract atten-
ton and cause annoyance. Conversation,
when carried on in public conveyaDces,
should not, as q rule, be keyed so high
that Indifferent strangers can hear the
whole of it, Nor will you let yourselves
talk, about your friends or associates, men-
tioning their names, and talking of their
engagements, their foliies or their eccen-
tricities. Family affairs should not be
discussed in, loud and animated way
where all the world is privileged to take
notes. Let me illustrate my meaning.
One day not long ago ! sat in car and
heard, quite against my will, the details
Of domestic quarrel, related with evident
zest and satisfaction by two good looking
Young women. Finally, one said. with
an air almost of triumph, I" You know
what pretty girl Harriet was, and how
nicely she used to dressf Well, she's

know heri And she's growing SO old
and plain! My mother says it's no won
der her husband is ashamed to be seen
with her."
You zee what . disagreeable impression
was made upon my mind, not concerning
the absent Harriet, for, whom felt sin
cerely sorry, but with regard to the young
people whUwere coolly telling over her
troubles, rolling them like sweet n orsels
under their tongues, and quite regardless
all the while as to whether or not anybody
heard them
Nothing is coarser, more repulsive, and
1 surer sign of vulgarity in the grain, than
bold. indelicate, forward conduct Of this
kind In public places. Yet / know young

THE investigation into the losses of
sheep during the past year shows that q
tota. of nearly 5000, 900 sheep and lambs
were destroyed by dogs and wolves and
various diseases, and the aggregate money
value was nearly $s,000,000. The aver
age percentage of loss was nearly eight.
The rate is the highest respectively in
North Carolina, Florida and Louisiana,
and ranges from II per cent. in the former
State to 8 ITO in Nebraska. The rate is
highest in the South and lowest in States
having dog laws.
