CATTLE SHIPMENTS TO Ell.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS TO Ell
ROPE.
The fact that the shipment of cattle
to Europe from the westarn States,
now becoming 50 important a bust
ness, was unknown three or four years
ago. is due to the high rates of trans
portation then prevailing which for
babe such shipments. The present
tendency both of railroad and ocean
freight rates Is towards very low fig
ures, and this makes it possible TO
send live cattle from the Mississippi
valley to Liverpool at a profit The
new trade embraces both fresh car
cases and live animals. Last wear
there was fresh meat, chiefly beef, Of

British ports, and the trade now ave

steamer from New York took out to
London 800 head Of cattle from Hi
nois and Kentucky, and 800 head OF
sheep in addition. The cattle re-
CURED for the trade are the choicest
kind, because the inferior qualities
cannot afford the ost OF so long Il
carriage, and do not meet the demand

GRANT.

Grants partisans would have the
world believe that the Republicans
have no other sz1able material for a
president within heir ranks. But he
will never DO re-nominated much
less reelected, and his advocates
may as weu subside.
The contest for supremacy in the
Republican party, resulting in the
disappointment Of Grant, and the re-
lection OF Blaine, is too recent and
wos too recklessly prosecuted, to
lave been so early, either forgotten
or forgiven. 1t settled Grants fate
as well as Blaine's, and the course
pursued by Mr.. Hayes since his III
auguration has not tended to dimin-
ish the chasms revealed by that con-
ilict.
Grants foreign trip was well timed.
1t diverted attention form his disaD-
pointment and chagrin. Perhaps no
public man in Europe and certainly
none other in America could have
been 0 cordially received by the
English nation. We shall not stop
to inquire how much of that was in
tended for tie people he was suppos-
ed to represent or what relation it
sustained to the attitude Great Brit
tain was about to assume in CONT
mental affairs. 1t is sufficient to note
that the prestage of the example of
6St illustrious kingdom conferred on
Grant the entree of three continents.
Still it did net change his nature,
make him acceptable to his
part or better qualify him to pre-
side over the destinies Of America.
1t Us revealed to the world, how
es6, that he has feelings in accord
With royalty and that the old monar-
chies find much in his methods and
manners to admire.
Do Grants admirers congratulate
themselves that he has l~atterly kept
aloOf from politics aud not allowed
himself to be mixed up With the cleo
toral frauds. Let them remember
and if they do not, the South will 1or
them, that all those precions scoun-
drels that Republicans dcnounce rs
the grandeSt of liars were kept in
office and power by the use Grant
made Of the army.
1t is true the Republican party is
more divided to-day, than when il
discarded Grant and Blaine as lead
ers, and attempted to unite on Hayes.
Indeed it is scarcely capable Of har-
moniOus defensive cooperation, and
any thing of an aggressive character
on its part is out OF question. What
important measure did it as much as
suggest during the last session OIL
Congress? Every incisiye PROPOSE
ton adopted was originated by Dem
ocrats and carried with the assistance
of nominal Republicans oblivious oil
caucuses and impatient of presiden-
tial or party dictation. The only
stand made was by Senatorial hard,
shells and we are told that even some
of them are satisfied that refusal &c
repeal the resumption act has in
creased discomfort.
No one man, no matter how able
or popular he may be personally, cal
re-unite and revivify such a party Il:
the Republican. If Grant were re.
stored tomorrow he would have
friends TO reward and enemies tC
punish and party di%saffection woult
be further extended. Before Repub.
licanism can be reinstated, withon.
some great mistake on the part of the
Democracy watch is not likely t.
transpire, its rank and file must BE-
unified and purified.

Crop Prospects in Europe.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Statist writes to that journal: 1T can not be
denied that the hopes for an excellent crop
in France are greartly lessened. In the
north especially there is a continuance of
rainy weather which does. great harm; in
the center the position is better; in the
southern districts farmers complain of con-
tinued dryness, but the vines are not dam
aged to a great extent In the absence Of
any true statistical summing up, it is diff
cult 10 say what are the real prospects of
crops. Generally speaking, the month of
June is rainy one in Paris, and as Paris is
the heart OF France and the seat of the prin-
cipal organs of the French press, have al
ways observed that the crops are Judged in
gloomy way in June, and that the opinion
improves toward July. In Paris there is
none but the stock-dealIng Sart or the popu-
lation which cares anything about The state
of the crops, and jobbers are not always par
ticular TO state facts otherwise than
according TO their own interests. Sta
tistics in France are point noir They are
found TO be a tedious natter aud the public
do not take the SLIGHTEST interest in them.
When writers set to work for many hours TO
gather facts they are rarely rewarded by pub
lie attention; while Il few humorous phrases
cleverly thrown on the paper will at once be
talked of in all quarters. Some official state
ments have been made by the Austro-H un-
gari IN government respecting the prospects
of crops. In the western part of Austria
there has been sufficient IA mall and fine
weather; in the eastern part they complain
of dryness. There are good prospects in
western Hungary, Croatia and the Bukowina.
Rye presents, on the whole, good average
prospects; SO does wheat Bailey and oats
offer equally good yield, especially in the
west. The barley IN Damaiia will be cut
presently. Oats are excellent in Hungary
and lstris. Potatoes are good nearly every
where. Vines have already begun to flourish
in Dalmatia and in the Tyrolese. In Hun
gary, Syria Dalmatia and south Austria the
vines promise first class results. AS to CO
coons the news is equally good"

Some of the medical journals have great
hopes of the extraordinary benefits which
the monograph will confer on physicians.
1t will, they say, make the incest distinc
tons between every form Of bronchial and
pulmonary disease, between percussion, sue
cussion and friction sounds; between crepi-
tus, fetal and placental murmurs; between
arterial and aneurismal suggestions, when
each can be produced at will, and managed
according to professional notions at any time
or place. The lecturer that is to come will
use the photograph instead of his tongue for
instruction and illustration. The wonderful
instrument will record the frequency, dura-
ton and characteristics of respiratory and
muscular movements; differentiate pneuno-
mia from phthisis reproduce the sob OF hys-
terra, the sigh of melancholia, the hiccough

patient. 1t will interpret for the infant the
inarticulate ex presslon of earsche, collie mus
cular disorder and tubercular meningitis.
1t will be an expert in lunscy, determining
accurately between insanity, mania and
ijiocy. 1t will make the subtlest and ablest
of diagnoses; will translate all the ailments
of human nature SO clearly and directly and
render the most ordinary doctor so capable
