Australian Cattle y.

In Australia cattle are far in excess OF
the demand, and will not soil 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 enormous tight
cyiinder capable Of holding fifty bull
locks at time, and steamed for seven
hours. The tallcw is then skinned OFF,
and the meat, mere pulp, is further
solidified and canned for expectation.
A bullock makes about twenty pounds
OF extract, as to the nutritious quality
of which there is wide difference OF
opinion.

Mining Property.

Hugh McCnloch is examining the
mining business Of California and
Nevada, and is congineed that 1t is very
preehrous except for heavy capitalists.
The yield Of tho mines steadily In
creasee in the nggregnte. but the num-
ber Of men employed steadily decreases.

pliances. tho time Of placer mining be-
Ing long past. aud the uncertainties are
SO great that men Of moderate means
are easily ruined. I'm spite Of all that
may be said 10 the contrary" Mr..
McCuiloch says, mo one can perdict
with any certainty when mine ID open
cd how it will turn out. Some mines
which promise well when work upon
them is commenced. prove to be OF lit
tie value. Others, which promise little
when opened, prove to be very rich and
enduring. Men who have made fortunes
by mining will tell you that most reli-
ance can be placed upon the opinions
or tho clear headed men who work I'm
the mines, who have never looked into
II book. AS TO where search should be
made for these metals, than upon the
opinions Of those who have made

stocks, Mr.. McCuloch regards 1t as
even more risky than mining. He says:
++UnfOTtuuHtbfY for tt5 small 1t6ek-
holders, the large holders, who really
own and control the mines, have In
many instances Credit Mobiliers' Of
their own, and make large profits as
contractors, while no dividends are de-
cIared upon tho stock. Unfortunately,
also, for large majority Of those VINO
operate In mining shares, and for San
Francisco, the market Is manipulated
by those who own the mines, who know
better than anybody else can possibly
know the value OF the shares, when TO
buy, and when to sell.

The fact can no longer be concealed
that there is no hope for Senator
Morton's recovery. 1t is stated that
he suffers intense pain continually
and can only secure sleep when un-
der the influence OF powerful opiates.
Even his iron constitution cannot
long stand this terrible drain upon
it, and without change-which
seems impossible-he will soon die.
The loss of such man to the country
can hardly be estimated, and
especially will the honor aud credit
OF Indiana suffer in the fact that there
is not likely to be a worthy successor

Gen. Reub Williams has become
sole proprietor of the Warsaw
Iadianian. Reub is mighty good
editor, and we tlust he will prove
equally as good a business manager.
The more experience we have in
Journalism we come nearer to the
conclusion that the business conduct
OF a paper Is the most difficult part
OF this occupation. To manage any
paper Is enough for any one man, and
yet the business and editorial depart
ments Of paper are so intimately
connected, and one is SO much de-
pendent on the other that every
editor should be his own business
manager, yet the work to do this is
arduous and never ending. But oil
all this no man is better aware than
Gen. Williams. and in taking charge
OF the h,dianian he brings a ripe
knowledge OF the business to his aid
which will insure him splendid sue
cess, and we shall expect to see the
paper enter a larger field OF useful
ness than Ii has ever filed.
