ABOUT THE PURCHASE HOGS

ABOUT THE PURCHASE OF HOGS.
As i'm every other branch of livestock
husbandry, the tastes and opinions of
men differ as TO the kind of swine to
raise. Each farmer carries on his bust
ness in his own way. adopting such
methods as, in his opinion, suits his
surroundings or circumstances. The
accidents of climate. soil, market, and
other things which enter into the ac-
count, determine his course. One man :
methods in feeding and breeding are
very different from another's, owing to
the experience he has had or the partic-
ular direction i'm which his tastes lie.
One may be very careful breeder and
liberal feeder, and in his hands a par
ticular breed will prove of the highest
excellence, while animals of the same
breed in the hands of another man, Civ
ing them less attention and care, would
fall much below the point reached by
his neighbor. The latter requires a
breed that will do moderately well I'M
der ordinary or somewhat Indifferent
circumstances rs compared with the
methods of the more careful breeder.
The subject is one of no light impor-
fauce

nothing from reading, fails 10 get the
experience of Others, and seldom makes

difference of one or two cents per pound
in an animal is just where the profit
comes. II should be borne in mind that
if an animal gets thin the whole fleshy
structure must be rebuilt, and that

A BEAUTIFUL SToRY.-Coleridge re-
lates story to this effect: Alexandria,
during his march into Africa, came 20 g
people dwelling in peaceful huts, who
knew neither war nor conquest. Gold
benig offered him, he refused it saying
that his sole object was to learn the man
ners and customs of the inhabitants.
"Stay with u.s." said the Chief, "as long
as it pleaseth thee" During this inter.
view with the African Chief, two of his
subjects brought case before Judgment
The dispute was this: The one had
bought piece of ground, which, after
the purchase, was found to contain q
treasure, for which he felt himself bound
to pay. The other refused to receive
anything, stating that he had sold the
ground with what it might be found to
contain, apparent or concealed. Said
the Chief, looking at the one, "You have
son )" and TO the other, "You have
a daughter; let them be married, and
the treasure given them as - dowry."
Alexander was astonished. "And what"
said the Chief, "would have been the
decision in your country?" ave should
have dismissed the parties and seized the
treasure for the Kings use." And does
the sun shine in your country I" said the
Chief; "does the rain fall theref Are
there any cattle there which feed upon
herbs and green grass ?" "Certainiy,"
said Alexander. "Ah," said tho Chief,

tie that the Great Being permits the Gun
to shine, the rain to fall and the grass to
grow in your country" ."--Boston Adper-

City Debts Must be Paid.

WAsHINGToN, March 81, 1879.
An opinion of Importance to all hold
ers Of dislionored municipal bonds, and
one which is decisive OF certain class of
cases, was rendered in the Supreme
Court to-day in the case of Morris Ranger
against the City of New Orleans. The
litigation arose out of an application for
writ of lnandamus to compel the au-
thoritics of that city to levy tax to nay
certain Judgments rendered agaips- It
upon bonds issued to the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad
Company. The city set up rs defence
that there was no legislative authority
ior the levy of such tax. The peti-
TONER demurred to this answer, but the
Circuit Court overruled the demurrer
aid denied the writ, wIereupon the peti-
TONER took this appeal.
The court below proceeded on the
principle that the power OF taxation be.
longs exclusively to tho legislative
branch Of the Government, and that the
judiciary cannot direct tax to be levied
when none is authorized by the Lcgisla-
ture. This Court holds, in careful
opinion delivered by Justice Field, that
although the power of taxation is legis-
lative prerogative, it may be delegated
to municipal corporation, or that when
such corporation is created, tho power
of taxation is vested in it as an essential
attribute for all the purposes of its ex-
| istcncc, unless its exercise is in express
terms prohibited. When, therefore, au-
thority to borrow money, or incur an
obligation to carry out any public object
is conferred upon municipal corpora
ton, the power 20 levy n tax for its pay
ment or the discharge of the obligation
accompanies it, and this too w;tkaut any
| special mention that such power is grant
ed. 1t Is always to be assumed, in the
absence OF clear restrictive provisions,
that when the Legislature grants to a
city the power to create debt, il intends
that the city shall pay it, and that its
payment shall not be left to its caprice
| or pleasure. Whenever g power 10 con-
tract debt is conferred, it must be held
that corresponding power of providing
for its payment is also conferred. The
latter is implied in the grant of the
former, and such implication cannot be
overcome except by express words of
limitation.
In the present case the Indebtedness OF
the City of New Orleans is conclusively
established by the judgments recovered.
Owing the debt the city had the power
to levy tax for its payment, and it was
clearly its duty to do so. The payment
was not matter resting on its pleasure,
out duty to the creditor, and having
neglected that duty mandamus should
have been issued to enforce its observ-
ance. The judgment Of the lower Court
must therefore be reversed, and the cause
remanded, with directions to issue the
writ in cc ipl;ance with the petition.

ENGLISH LAND, AND THE aIEN WHO
CwN iT.-A5out two years ago tho
British Government had returns pub
lished in what are known as "The New
Doomsday Books" showing how the
country was divided. These returns
were made for Conservative Govern
ment, and are very misleading; but,
even taking the figures as correct, they
show that four-fifths of great Britain is
owned by 1900 persons; but the figures
are very far from being correct. Many
of the large land owners are counted over
and over again. The Duke of Ruccleuch
for instance, is returned as ii land own
ers, because he owns land in II diff
ferent counties. The Dukes of Cleve-
land and Devonshire, Earl Howe and
Lord Overstone are returned ns II land
owners, as these four noblemen have es-
tates in IL different counties. Mr.. Ar
thur Arnold, writing in the -Nineteenth
Century some time ago, upon s'The
Abuses of q Landed Gentry" computed
that the ownership of four-fifths of
Great Britain is in the hands of about
1000 individuals, and even this assertion
needs qualifying, for it is estimated that
rs per cent. of the land in this country
is entailed, SO that the present own
ers really have nothing more than life
interest in the property. A "dead hand"
stretches over their estates, and decrces
that they shall pass on, intact, to the
"heirs male forever" Even where pro-
perty is not entailed, the law steps in
and seems determined to prevent the
subdivision of an estate. The old feudal
customs OF this country ere established,
o,..:E o q q, s.:Si encouraged By tho ioTuo
and operation of law, which declares in
every county Except Kcnt) in this
island, that if a landowner die intestate
the eldest son shall inherit the whole
property, and that his brothers aud
sisters shall be dependent upon his houn-
ty. Sooner or later, this law will be
changed sooner or later, this law of
entail will be broken, and we shall have
free trade in land; some day there will
be more than 25 per cent. of transferable
land in England; but things move slowly
here, and many men are beginning 10
ask themselves whether monarchical
form of Government is best suited to the
requirements of the age, or whether the
present advantages peculiar to the Gov
ernment of Great Britain can not be en-
gnifted upon Republic. Correspon-
