Pittsburgh, the great iron center of
the country, does not complain of stag
nation. The mills are buster than they
ever were before, though this is usually
a dull season. The prevailing prosper
ity is attributed, perhaps with some
Justice, to the tariff. And yet in hard
times the Pittsburgher will never admit
that the tariff is responsible for the
depression, though it is just as reason
able to credit this venerable institution
with some of the country's bad luck as
with all of it's good luck. The old fell
low is really in danger of being killed
by kindness. MilaO0ottee Sentinel.

An exchange remarks that the New
York law forbidding the pasturing of
cattle in the streets and roads he's
a5ated many nuisances in the shape
OF unsightly fences. The most costly
and artistic fence deforms q fine land
scape. Fences must sometimes be
tolerated as necessities but should
never be regarded as ornaments. The
necessity for them is far less than has
been supposed. The modern discovery
that fences are to keep cattle in, not to
keep them out, is valuable one. IF
you have SOW and pigs, fence off lot
big enough to keep them In, but don't
oblige your neighbor to support two
miles of road fence to keep them out
Unsightly fences are disappearing in
many districts, and it is probable that,
where little stock is kept, it will soon be
cheaper to cut their feed and carry it to
them than to fence. pastures. If the
pens that we see in our country vii
lagos were takeu away with proper
care, all would live in beautiful park
this would foreshadow and aid the re-
moval Of social and sectarian barriers, o
consummation devoutly to be wished.
