The main excitement for the past
two or three weeks has been in the
raspberry trade which has been lively
considering the scarcity. The first Of
fer this year was for 81 cents per pound
by agreement of the purchasing parties,
when one of the contractors made a
break on the sly and offered four cents
which was responded to by the other
party who made it quite interesting for
pickers by running the price as high as
nine cents per pound, with the other
parties following, and paying from five
to nine cents. Mr.. Buchanan shipped
about half ton some nights and Folsom
& Taylor from four to five hundred.

French AlmanacS.

"Fifteen million French people learn
only through their almanacs the des.
TIMES of Europe, the laws Of their
country, the progress OF sciences, arts,
industry, their duties and their rights. "
SO says one OF those almanacs, which
ought to be authority on such subject,
provided it is both we'll informed and
truthful. Certainly French slmanacs
cover large ground, social and scien-
tific, cosmic and comic. There are the
cooks, cultivator's, lady's, lawyers,
ioker's, sportman's songster's, vine
dresser's almanacs almanacs of dolls,
dances, dreams, drinking and dining ;
almanacs of new songs, old songs,
comic songs, plaintive songs, p,triotic
songs and wedding songs almanacs of
the garden, the church, the restaurant,
the theater, the drawing-room alma
macs OF games, riddles, puns, jests,
drolleries, parlor magic ; almanacs OF
health, history and contemporaneous
celebrity. Now, though such almanacs
as the prophetic and astrological do
what they can to enlighten fifteen
millions Of Frenchmen on the destinies
of Europe, and though almsnacs Of card
tricks and the language of flowers may
show advances in science, We should be
sorry to think that many millions get
their morals from the thieves almanac.
There must, therefore, be a cautious
proviso in indorsipg tue motto that ap-
pears on the title page of ono of the al.
manacs "Pour instruction on the head
of the people you owe them that bap.
tism,"

The Slang OF the Plains,

Among the cattle.owners and herders
on the plains and in Texas and New
Mexico, o "corral" is the yard where
animals are confined. They usual,
ly contain or have in connection with
them enubbing posts," to which ami
mails are drawn up for examination or
branding. A "cow -puncher is the
herder. A squirt is short whip of
several leather strands twelve or more
inches in length, with shorter handle,
used as whip by the herders. "Round-
ups are periodical gatherings together
of stock for the purpose Of establishing
ownership, separating into proper herds
for branding the same. "Cave lark is
the mixed herd OF cattle following the
roundup herds. "Mavericks are un-
branded stock more than one year old.

A Bonnnzu Queen.

A Paris correspondent says: Mrs.
Mackay is one of the most charming
hostesses OF the American colony. Ac-
complished sld intellectual! (she speaks
French AMI Spanish as perfectly as she
does Engljsh), the charms of her mind
would eclipse those of her perfcn were
not both thrown into the shade by the
exquisite loveliness and sweetness Of
her noble and elevated nature. She is
very lovely, and is still quite young.
Her form is petite and faultlessly pro-
portioned, her dark hair and eyes of
exceeding beauty, being large and lus-
trous, of dark clear blue, shaded with
long black lashes. Unspoiled and un-
spoilable by position that would have
turned the heads Of ninety-nine women
out of a hundred, she wears its onerous
dignities as gracefully and with as little
ostentation as she might fresh plucked
flower. All the ridiculous stories that
have appeared respecting her in the
papers are pure inventions. She never
wanted to illuminate the Arc de Triom-
phe, for instance, and never offered to
buy it. Gentle, gracious, generous and
kindly hearted is she, and the world is
all the better for having such woman
in it. Her shrinking delicacy of nature
renders her extremely averse to all
species of publicity, and she would take
the pen from my hand to-day did she
know that was writing about her. But
I do not see why envy, hatred, malice
and all uncharitableness should speak
at will and truth and friendship remain
forever silent.
