Both were loaded with fresh killed beef
at Nofsinger's paeking-house and ship
ped via fast freight to Chicago. The
beef arrived nice and fresh in the Chica-
go market and sold readily to the butch
ers at cents. Here was a Triumph 1t
opened the doors to a new and profita-
BILE trade to Kansas City. We can
slaughter beef and ship it to New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
Louisville, Memphis, Chicago and st.
Louis or other large cities and place it
in their meat markets fresh, sweet and
tender right from the grassy prairies of
Kansas. The 1--WE stock men are puz-
zled at the prospect. 1t is plainly evident
that it win be cheaper to kill cattle here
and save shrinkage and freight and send
the herd of cattle in one car instead of a
whole train to the East. The car "Kan-
sas City," which carried out the expert
mental load, is back again loading up
for another trip. Success to the summer
cattle trade.

Variety of Life in New York.

Howe, the great Tombs lawyer, was
supposed to be doing one of the most
profitable law businesses ia the city.
He defended nearly all the rogues in New
York, and his fees were supposed to be
large; yet he has been adjudged a bank
rupt. All the men of this class go I'M
der. The divorce lawyers, who are re-
ported to have immense fees, seldom
last long. Nine out of ten of the liquor
men fail, though the common idea is
that the profits are simply immense. 1
was in leading restaurant yesterday,
and was told that the checks showed
that $3.50 were taken at the bar the day
before Yet every man who has kept
that hotel has failed except the present
proprietor, who has not been there long
enough to give the thing fair trial. 1t
is the same with the politicians who
hang around the City Hall. 1t is feast
or famine with those fellows. One of
them was distinguished for his heavy
drinks ofsbrandy and for buying tw o
dollars worth of cigars daily to give to
his followers. He could not buy an oys-
ter stew to-day. A city official told me
that his office cost him $50, 200 in clear
cash, and he holds it only for two years
l met man the other day whom / have
known as a buyer for a leading stock
house on the street. He was dressed
