to supply the British market. Whether
the publication of these facts
will have the desired effect in
inducing the British Lawmakers to re-
gard the American beef more tolerantly
remains to be seen. The dealers in
foreign cattle have the best of the argu-
ment, but that does not necessarily
imply that they will succeed in an as
sembly where the influence Of the land
owners is so great as in the British Par
lament. The introduction OF American
cattle strikes at this important interest,
as if England comes to look abroad for
the supply of beef the home trade will
fall off and farm lands depreeiate in
value. Hence the landlord interest op-
poses the importation of cattle as in the
days of the corn laws they did the i'm
portation of grain. That they dare not
base their opposition upon its real
grounds, but are obliged to allege sani-
tary reasons, is an indication that marks
the advance of popular influence.

THE SEWERS OF PARIS.

1t appears that the Paris sewers of pre-
sent discharge themselves into the Seine, at
Clichy and st. Denis, by two principal out
falls, giving an approximate daily dis
charge Of some 1000, 900 cubic feet, which
affects the water of that river in several
different ways. The sand and mud are de-
posted near the outfan of the two collcc-
tors, the volume of these deposits reaching
an immense amount annually, and, as this
produces fermentation in warm weather,
it is necessary to dredge constantly, involv-
ing great expense. The light mud and
organic matters, however, rest on the sur
face of the river and pollute the water for a
considerable distance, though the purifca-
ton of the sewage waters with sulphate of
alumina has been attended with considera
Bile success-so much, In fact, that the
application Of the process, on a still more
extensive scale, is contemplated.

IyEEsD 8 AND TsG E LIGHT.

Whenever hear country FOLKS rejoicing
that the days soon will be getting longer,
and laying half of their shortcomings to
poor winter because its days were SO short,
Twink slyly at the birds, and set them litter
ing. Bless your heart these cute little crea-
lures never trouble themselves about the
approach of short days. Why? Simply
because most of them make it rule to 60
where the days are longer. Birds have the
same intense desire for sunshine that flowers
have. Like flowers, they turn their backs
to the dark and their faces to the light.
When the days shorten in the north. the
birds 90 south. There are other reasons
for their going, but this surely is one.
Runneberg, the Swedish poet, during a
long illness, occupied himself by observing
the habits of birds; and at the end he de-
clared that, like good men and women,
birds always are seeking the light.
"When days shorten he writes, "the
birds 60 to southern clinaes, when the
nights recede. But as soon as the long
northern days set in with their luminous
long-drawn hours, the wanderers return to
their old haunts. 1t is generally supposed
that they move southwark to get more
abundant food; but why do they leave the
rich southern feeding grounds to return
nerthward? Simply because one thing is
richer there and that is, light. The bird
of passage is of noble origin; he bears a
motto, and his motto is tu1 m,ae dar."

Lie and Death.

What is the life Of man A passing shade
Upon the ehangeful mirror of old Time;
A sere leaf, long ereautumn comes decayed;
A plant or tree that scanty reaches prime;
A dew-drop of the morning; gone ere noon;
Ameteor expiring In its fall;
A blade of grass that springs to wfther soon;
A dying taper on a darksome pail;
The foam upon the torrents whirling wave,
bird that fiutters on dropping wing;
A shadewy spectre e'er an open grave;
A morninggory's moments in the spring;
A breaking bubble on rushing stream;
A sunset after storm; an erring angels dream.
What IL this death we fear The peaceful close
OF stormy life-of reckless passion sway;
The veil that mantles all our cares and woes;
The heavenly ending Of an earthly day;
The crown Of time well spent; the portal fair
Which opens the way to never ending JOY;
It sets the captive spirit as free as air,
From all the fetters which on earth annoy.
What is this death? The sleep the pilgrim take!
After much weary travail he has known
And whence with renovated power he wakes,
His soul more mighty forts siuInber crown
The glorious conquest over human id;
A spirits joy which death can never kill.

AJAPANEsE PWsNT SHOP.


The shops scattered through Toxic,
where cheap prints are sold, attract atten-
ton from the gay colors Of tie pictures
strung on linds for public observation, and
by the crowd of interested spectators GEN.
orally clustered before them. The trade
evidently supplies a popular want, and we
need not De surprised TO find, therefore,
that in city of the dimensions of the
capital it has attained to very large
proportions. The business has received
o fresh impetus from the outbreak of the
civil war, though the occupation itself is
of very ancicnt origin. The variety of
these prints and their artistic merit astonish
one. A. prominent house, one of the
largest in Toxic, has already issued one
hundred and thirty sets Of pictures, each
comprising three engravings, on themes
suggested by the Kagoshima insurrection.
These are mostly exag 5erations of personal
proweGG conventional to Japanese martial
law-very absurd, many of them, yet all
executed in a manner that not merely
alnuses but instruets The work itself,
when we consider the price for which the
pictures are sold, commands admiration.
The first step in the production of
novelty rs the employment of an artist, of
whom there are several famous for this
specially in Toxic, who designs the scenes
desired and draws them in ink on the finest
paper. These sketches, which bring the
artist from one to three dollars apiece, are
most beautifully done, judged by any
standard. The, next step is the"wood
engraving which is also performed in the
most delicate manner. Rarely can one
see more exquisite specimens Of the graver's
skill than on some Of these humble blocks.
The wood cutters, at the best, can earn by
their industry from seven to ten dollars o
month twenty five cents a day is good
average pay. 70 cut the more complicated
plates requires from week. to ten days.
The whole expense of preparing one of
these prints, then, including designing,
cutting the original plate, and the color
plates, of which latter there are sometimes
upward of twenty required for one picture,
inks, etc., is about seven dollars. They
sell, on an average, for five cents set of
three pictures. While quite a novelty,
however, they maintain fancy price,
sometimes, where great hit has been
made, going for SO much, as fifteen cents a
set; and, on the other hand, antiquated
prints may be bought for q cent sheet

A good tale ia told of Curran, VIII

A good tale is told of Curran, who
was once engaged in legal argument.
Benin him, stood his colleague, man
whose person was remarkably tall and
slender, and who had intended to
take holy orders. The judge OBJ
served that the case under discussion
involved a question Of ecclesiastical
law.
"Then," said Curran, II can refer
your lordship to high authority be-
hind me, who was once intended for the
church, though in my opinion filter for
the steeple."
History is silent as to the judges re-
gard for the authority.

NOTWITHSTANDING the free-trade boast
pf England and the at least nominal as
tendency of frec-trade principles, it is
noticeable that any novel importation
has good deal of difficulty in gaining a
foothold, and that restrictions on one pre-
tense and another are constantly inter
posed upon any foreign innovation that
is likely to interfere with the home pro-
ductons of the country. The introduc-
tion of American cattle and American
beef has met with the most violent oppo
sition from those interested in the raising
Of cattle in Great Britain, and as the
prejudices of the consumer against Ameri
ran beef has gradually given way before
the practical and continued excellence of
the supply sent over, resort is being had
to legal measures for the purpose of ham
pering the import trade. The plea of
disease, concerning which there is
chronic scare has been made the pretext
for restrictions which have seriously re-
pressed the development of cattle i'm
portation and there is reason to fear that
still more harrassing and vexatious pro-
visions may be embodied in bill now
being prepared and which will soon
be introduced in Parliament. This bill
has been discussed at length during the
past winter and spring, and is now in
the hands of the Duke Of Richmond, who
is urged to press it by the cattle produc-
ing interests of England and Scotland.
A deputation from the Foreign Cattle
Trade Association recently waited upon
the Duke to protest against any further
restrictions They pointed out that un-
der the limitations already imposed i'm
portations had languished, the falling off
amounting to twenty-five per cent. as
compared with last year. The most inn
portant point adduced as an argument
against the proposed restrictions was
that there had not transpired single
case of disease among cattle brought
either from the United States or Canada,
the stock introduced from across the At
iantic being far sounder than that of
the Continental countries which help

A TREE GROANlNG LIKE A 1HU-
MAN BEING.

Quite sensation has been created in the
Amity Church neighborhood, Clark county,
Ala, by pine tree which groans like a
human being in distress or dying. A
number of persons OF both colors visited the
place recently to hear the doleful sound.
With the colored people the interest in the
mysterious sound is enhanced BY the fact
that the tree stands hard by large grave
yard, and is also near the place where o
man Of their eoior was killed by lightning q
year or two ago.
