The American Cattle Trade with Eng-
land.
London Times, April IS.

A short conversation in the house of
lords last NIGHT ON the importation of
cattle from Ireland and America, recalls
tie trade with the United States. 1t is
satisfactory to learn from the Duke of
Richmond that the arrangements for
landing Irish cattle have undergone
considerable Improvement. Liverpool
has also made provisions for the
slaughter of American cattle, if they
come to be killed. Lord De La War;
quoted some statistics which show that
the Atlantic passage has been attended
with considerable risk; and the Duke of
Richmond said he had called the atten-
ton of ship-owners to the suffering con-
diton in which the American cattle
were sometimes landed. 1t Is singu-
lar proof of the vitality of the trade
that SS,4I7 head of cattle were landed
from Canada and the United States last
year, though 1867 were lost on the
passage, and some 1.25S were seriously
injured by overcrowding and cXhaus-
ton, and the trade was rapidly growing
when it was practically suppressed.
Inc LOSSES Ill tTalls pun WelG Phitly uuc
to the undeveloped state of business,
and partly to stress of weather, which,
rs the Duke of Richmond pointed out,
upsets the best arrangements. The
Lord President did not go on to explain
that since the Sd of March last the cat
tie trade from the United States had
been greatly limited. During March it
was reported rs merely nominal; there
was u sudden revival mt the beginning
Of April, but it seems to have been only
temporary. Only 100 head We're land
cd last week, whereas In the bitter win
ter weather of January and February
the numbers varied from 500 to 500 or
600 week. The spring and summer
months are the best for the live cattle
trade, just as the winter is best for the
dead meat importation.

no passengers. With an average of 100
persons to each, including crew, the to-
tai loss Of life on the list would be IN
creased to $500 human beings. A
critical examination of the dates when
the missing vessels were built, and Of
their time of sailing, goes to confirm a
statement made by the american Ship,
viz: that many vessels were built on
the Clyde and elsewhere in Scotland, on
mere speculation, OF cheap materials
badly put together, and wholly unfit to
encounter even moderate ocean storms.
OF FIVE that left their ports in Novem-
Der, 1872, not one was ever heard of

two in 1877, and three in 1879; and that
is the last known Of them.

THE YANDERBILTS.
A Secret that has Come TO Belong TO
Eyerybody-.The Wisdom of William II.
in Closing the Lawsuit.
New York Dispatch to Louisville Courier-Jour

New York Dispatch to Louisville Courier-Jour.
nal.
There is muck imprinted gossip in
this city over the recent settlements in
the Vanderbilt family litigation and the
disingenuous attempts to make the
same rebound to the credit of William
Ii. Vanderbilt. From trustworthy
source, to-day, your correspondent
learned the following facts: That the
discontinuance Of the suits was COM
promise agreed upon beforehand, and
that William III, Vanderbilt was obliged
to accept it to prevent his cross-exam-
nation by Mr.. Scott Lord, Cornelius
Vanderbilt's counsel The latter had
warned the millionaire, William H.,
that he must expect a rigid and pene-
trating inquiry into his private affairs,
and must not only tell how much he
was worth, but also what speculations
he had gained money IN and in what
ventures he had lost money since the
death Of his father. William III. could
not stand this opening up Of money
bags under the eyes of the greedy Wall
street sharks, and he is understood to
have said that he was willing to give
81 100000 rather than have that done.
The rest was only the matter of finesse
Cornelius was perfectly willing to say
that he discontinued the suits at his
own free will, and that his brother Will
liam had paid him a larger share of the
estate out of pure magnanimity, and
Mr.. Scott Lord was perfectly willing to
say that all he knew about the case was
that his client had instructed him to
discontinue the suits. But since Corne-
Illus has got his 81 100000 about halfof
which he used to pay up old debts,
among them the Greeley debt, and his
expenses in the litigation, he has told
the secret OF the settlement to few
confidential friends, who III turn have
coniided it to other confidential friends,
until now it is the secret of large num-
Der of persons, and may us well be the
secret OF the readers of the Courier-Jour-
nal. Mr.. Scott Lord reeeiyed for his
services clean 100000, -the largest
fee paid in the case. 1t may he added
that the total wealth Of the Vanderbilt
estate has been greatly exaggerated, and
it is said that it viii fall short Of the
original estimate by about S4,00000O.

A Grand Wife.

An exchange thus tells how it was as
tonished at the difference between
theory and fact in neighbours conduct,
who was always prasing his wife:
We once knew n man who was al
ways praising his wife. On the corner,
down the street, NJ the postoilice, at the
race-track, in he skating-rink, Mt the
theater, in the sal-that is, at the choir
meeting, he was always telling what
happy man he was, just because he
had such splendid wife, and he talked
every man he met into perfect frenzy
Of envy about her. Well, one winter
morning when it was not too light to
make one appear overly ostentatlous,
we sneaked into that neighbor's yard to
steal n fonce-board for kindling, and had
TO wait before we could safely obtain il
until that mans wife came out and
sawed couple of armfuls Of wood,
shoyeled out three snow-paths, fed and
groomed the horse, and cleaned out the
cow.shed, and then when she went into
the house and we heard her call TO her
husband that thesitting-room was warm
enough for him to dress III if he wanted
to get up now, we were SO amazed that
We forgot what we were waiting for, and
went back and kindled the fire with u
corn-cob and u pint Of Kerosene.

North American Indians and others
who are in the habit of bivouacking in
the open air when on distant expedi-
tions. sleep with their feet toward a fire
which they kindle for the purpose.
Certain drugs act as an opiate and pro-
duce sleep when ordinary means fan;
but these shonld never be taken unless
by medical sanction. The practice OF
using opiates is most detrimental to
health, and, If preserved in, is ruinous
to the constitution. Coffee and other
beverages act variously on different in.
dividuals. They exhilarate some, and
others they send to sleep. Tea usually
acts AS an exhilarant, by stimulating
the nervous system, and should not be
taken less than four hours before going
to bed.

and shuddered, "for we can have all the
ice-cream we want this summer and
still be happy
And Leander? Oh, yes, he did not
say anything, but he looked as though
he thought they might be happy. Most

Too happy, oh, too happy. He could
not speak. He could only gasp and
feel his pockets, and sigh and kind of
choke up and gaze down toward the riv-
