1t is proposed to bring about tenement
house reform in New York by the formation
of one or more stock companies for the
erection of improved dwellings, the compa-
nies to have capitals Of from S5o0O0o to

Water transportation is remarkably
cheaper than the rail. Instances of this are
immense tOws taken out of Piitsburg bv a
single steamer; one recently took seven
thousand tons. 1t went TO Louisville six
hundred mules, and the cost was perhaps
S2500. For this distance on rail the ordi-
nary coal rates would be $4,000.
New York is seriously meditating the
advissbility of constructing an underground
union depot. The bill now before the New
York Legislature, IN reference to the tunnel
under the Hudson river, provides for an
underground depot also. Thus the freight
trains, instead of discharging their eargoes
on the Jersey shore, could run them di-
rectly into this underground depot, saving
all cost OF transhipment- The time seems
rapidly approaching when freight snd pas
senger business IN large cities must be done
in the air or underground.

TIE largest baby at birth sof which

born in Ohio on the 18th of last Janu-
sry. The newborn baby was twenty

was nineteen inches, and the foot was
five and half inches in length. six

GEN. HANc.CK is strongly in favor of
the transfer of the Indian bureau to the
war department. He says: " Harmony
IN the administration of Indian affairs
demands that the whole command be in
ore mans hands. When every little
difference becomes a cabinet question
between cabinet officers it is easy to see
shat the Indian affairs must suffer. The
only objection to the transfer comes
from a certain religious element in the
country which does not understand the
merits of the case. The Indians will be
just as open to proselytizing as they
are now and more. The war depart
ment is as anxious to have the Indians
christisnized as the department of the
interior. OF course the semi-civilized
Indians may be let alone they do not
need the strong hand to control them"

r'EvADA newspapers announce that
Vast numbers of grssshopper eggs are
hRcubating in Sierra Valley. A spade
tui of soil is represented to have con-
tanned hundreds of thousands of eggs
deposited in clustera. The farmers have
not turned turrow this spring, knowing
that with these pests in the the soil their

Grain crops will only foster the scourge.

starve the insects into emigrating. Fears
ARE expressed that they may sweep down

Ingenious Mode Of Tying Horses.

The Icelanders have a most curious
custom and q most efectusl one of pre-,
venting horses from straying, which Is
entirely peculiar TO this island. Two gen
tlemen, for instance, are riding together
without attendants, and wishing to alight
ior the purpose of visiting some objects
at a distance from the road, they tie the
head of one horss to the tail Of another,
and the head of this to the tail of the
former. Ia this state it is utterly inn
possible that they can move on, either
backward or forward, one pulling the
one way and the other the other; and,
therefore, If disposed TO move at all, it
will be only in a circle, and, even then,
there must be an agreement 70 turn
their heads the same way.
