HE Omaha journal of Commerce has
been collecting statistics relative to the
cattle drive of 1879. 1t puts the Texas
and southwestern contribution at $780,
600 head, and the Montana and Oregon
quota at 100000. Kansas was formerly
the northern limit of the Texas drive,
and this gave to Kansas City consider
able advantage as q market, but the
proportion of the stock remaining in
Kansas is yearly decreasing, while that
of Nebraska and Wyoming is annually
increasing. At Ogallala, on the Union
Pacific, is now found the great cattle
rendezvous which formerly ended at
Abilene, on the Kansas Pacific. The
Union Pacific will soon become the
greatest stock thoroughfare in the world
THE London Economist of July 10Th
calls attention to the fact that as an i'm
mediate result of the revival of business
in this country the trade of England
with the United States is reviving.
:" Our exports to the states" says the
Economist, ''hsve ceased to diminish and
are rapidly expanding" An increase
appears in the export to this country
during the first six months of 1879 of
beer and ale, cotton piece goods, metals
of all kinds except bar, bolt and rod
iron and wool. In this latter export the
whole year 1878 showed a decrease of
g. per cent. as compared with the year
1874; while the first half of the year
1879 shows an increase of 1875 per cent.
as compared with the first half of the
year 1878. The increase in the export of
railroad iron of all kinds to this country
in the first half of 1879 as compared
with the first half of 1878 amounts to
1868 per cent. On the other hand there
is continued decline in the export of
cloths, worsted stufs and carpets and
druggets.

A Step Toward Fortune.

About forty years ago. a poor wo-
man, living in Philadelphia managed
10 exc out a miserable existence by
selling molasses candy. One day, her
candy was scorched. The woman
was in despair. The loss was a
serious one in trade whose profits
were counted by pennies. She was
quick-witted, however, and ready
with expedients. She cracked some
walnuts, mixed the kernels with the
candy, and wrote placard. 1.-The
new nut candy, one cent cake"
The children dropped in on their way
to school. The candy was liked
They came back for more the next
day. The fame OF the cheap conlec-
ton spread from one school to an
other. The maker shrewdly confined
herself to making that. Presently
she took larger shop in the alley.
In a year or two she moved again,
but this time it was into one of the
principal streets. Now, her walnut
candy Is sold all over the country
Some years ago, she sold out her bus
iness and retired with a handsome
fortune. Now she lives in n stately
house which stands in n grove OF wal
nut trees; the woodwork is all Of
walnut; carved panels representing
walnut boughs decorate the dining
room and on her carriage, instead of
a coat of arms, is bunch of walnuts
just bursting from the husk.

Royal Nuptials.

The wedding which took place
at Windsor Castle, on the 18th insly,
was looked forward 10 with COLI
siderable interest by royalty and FASH
ion throughout the word. On that
day Princess Louisa Margaret, of
Prussia, was welded 10 tho Duke
vi CpnnaUght, third son of Queen
Victoria. This young man, some
times known rs Prince Arthur, is,
above all things else, II soldier. He
has, at school and in camp, acquired
practical and scientific knowledge
OF the art of war, which may one day,
properly developed, fit him 10 take
the hIgSest command in the British
army. The bride, that is to say the
Duchess, is, by all family pre-
cedents, peculiarly qualified to be Il
soldiers wife. Her lather is the Ia
mcus Prince Frederick Charles oil
Prussia, who commanded before
Metz with such high distinction, and
who is one OF the most notable pillars
OF one OF the most severely military
systems that exists in Europe. The
father of Prince Frederick Charles
and the Emperor Wilhelm were not
only brothers, but brothers, who
married two sisters. These sisters
were the two Princesses of Sake
Weimar, whose education were SUI
perintended by no less tutor than
Goethe. Princess Louisa Margaret
left Berlin, and arrived in
England Tuesday. In the
meantime she visited her widowed
sister at The Hague, and for whose
bereavement she only quite recently
left OFF mourning. That sister was
married, in August last, to Prince
Henry, OF the Nethe lands, who had
the reputation Of being the wealthiest
of European members OF the royal
caste. He died in January of The
present year, aud his widow, who is
understood TO have hope of issue, is
temporarily residing at The Hague
until certain time has elapsed after
her husbands demise. or course,
the ceremonies in ST. Georges Chapel
were made as Interesting as posi-
bic. The ceremony was perform
ed by the Archbishop OF Canterbury,
assisted by half dozen or so Of
Bishops. The bridesmaids were
eight in number daughters Of
Dukes, two daughters of Marquises,
and four daughters of Earls. The
best men of the groom were the
Prince of Wales and Prince Leopold.
Among the foreign guests were the
King of Belgians, the Crowst Prince
and Princess of Germany the parents
Of the bride, the Duke and Dutchess
of Sake Coburg, and the Grand Duke
of Hesse. Most of these are now in
London, including the Crown Prin-
cess. This estimable lady, Queen
Victoria's first born, ami who will
one day be the Empress of Germany
warmly approves of the matrimonial
choice of her brother, the Duke of
Connauglt.

Carrier Pigeons.

When on the wing carrier pigeons
never feed, and after making long
journey they arrive at their destina-
ton in a half-starved condition. Nor
will the bird eat on its arrival. 1t
simply drinks small quantity Of
water, and then goes to sleep fer
about two hours. AT the end OF its
nap the pigeon eats moderately and
again sleeps; and after forty-eight
hours of this alternate sleeping and
eating, it appears to recover its nor
NAL appetite. We remark in this
instance the operation of useful in.
stinct which prevents The wearie aud
hungry bird from taking its already
overweight system by eating large
meal; this practice being i'll strict
accordance with the teaching of physi-
ology and with the dictates o. the
healthy science of man, but which the
latter unfortunately does not always
follow.
