Dr. Schweinfurth, the Soudan traveller, has published at Vienna letter just re. ceived from Cairo, which stigmatizes in strong terms the recent increase in the Egyptian slave trade. The re- sumption of the traffic dates from the deposition of the ex-khedive and the retirement of Sir Samuel Baker; but it has increased more especially since Colonel Gordon has left. In spite of the English and French consulates, there is every week wholesale importation of little negro children into Jeddah, and there is no prospect of this lucrative traffic soon coming to an end.

There is a tradition among the

moth or great buffalo roamed through
the forests within the memory of their
torefathers. The legend runs as fol-
lows: "In ancient times herds of nam.
moths came to the Big-bone Lick and
began q wholesale destruction of the
bears, bu~ffaloes, deer and all the ami.
mails created for the use of the Indians.
This so angered the Great Spirit that he
descended upon a mountain, where still
may be seen the impress of his sea- and
of one foot, and hurting his bolts among
them killed them all except the great
mammoth bull, who presented his
forehead TO the shafts and shook
them off as they fell. At
length, missing one, it wounded him
in the side, and he leaped over the Wa
bash, the Illinois, and all the great
lakes, where he still lives" The place
of his abode, with all due Difference to
the Indian c~hronicler, seems a little in
definite.

"The Touch" or "HandIiHg" Qaall.
~ Of Cattle.

In Judging Of cattle with reference TO
their quality rs beef animals, ocular in
spection is useful TO n limited extent,
but, certain il is, that q blind butcher or
other expert will make better selection
of cattle either for immediate slaughter
or for feeding than one judging solely
by the eye. The hand IS deity placed
upon ribs and rumps ard passed along
the loins and the loose TANKS. A gentlc
pressure is given by the tips Of all five
fingers in o way to ascertain b sott-
ness, p~liability, elasticity and mobility
of the hide. This is accomplished both
by the pressure and by a slight thrust
given TO the fingers, and ascertained by
o "sense of knowledge which is begot-
ten by experience. The hand also
grasps the hide over the ribs, taking up
a handful by which its thickness is per-
ceived, and the other points of quality
confirmed.
No one with q modicum Of experience
can thus handle Il few "bcef critters "
without observing notable differences in
their skins, the righteousness of the coats
Of different animals, the softness, thick
ness and ~pliability of theiH hides, and
the amount of fat which underlies the
skin. He will perceive also a difference
in the ~coarseness, s%ottness, h%arshness
and wooliness or furriness of the hair,
and this is a disturbing factor in form
ing q correct judgment as TO the quail
ty Of the beef, until one learns to allow
for it.
Health is indicated by the skin being
in n condition to perform its important
function, hence il should be soft, tleXi-
BILE and elastic, and there should be
enough of that oily or soapy secretion
which gives righteousness TO the coat.
1t should also be free from Jumps or
ridges, and uniform over the 1eshy
parts of the body.-Rural NeW Yorker.

OregOn's Strange Lake.

Several of our citizens returned last week
from the Great Sunken Lake, situated in the
Cascade Mountains, about seventy five miles
northeast from jacksonville. This lake rivals
the famous valley of Sinbad the Sailor. 1t is
thought to average 1000 feet down to water
all around. The depth of the water is un-
known, and its surface is smooth and unruf-
fed, as it is so far below the surface of the
mountains that air currents do not affect it.
Its length is estimated at twelve or fifteen
miles. and its width ten or twelve. There is
a mountain in the centre having trees upon
it. 1t lies still, silent and mysterious in the
bosom Of the everlasting hills, like huge
well scooped out by the hands of the giant
genii of the mountains in the unknown ages
gone by, and around it the primeval forests
watch and ward are keeping. The visiting
party fired a rifle into the water several times
at an angle Of forty-fvc degrees and were able
to note several seconds of time from the re-
port of the gun until the ball struck the water.
Such seems incredible, but is vouched for by
our most reliable citizens. The lake il GER
tainly a most remarkable curiosity.

The White House.

If half that is said Of the condition of the
White House be true. nobody can blame
President Arthur for declining at present to
take up his residence there. Some observers
go so far as to say that it is "unfit for human
habitation. Aside from its exposure to ma
laria, it is declared to be an unhealthy
edifce in many other respects; there still
seems to be some doubt about the plumb
ing, while. if the truth be told the shabby
and tawdry furniture is ''full of vermin."
The last Congress appropriated a con-
siderable sum for the renovation of this Of
fetal residence; but before the repairs could
be even begun, the catastrophe came which
necessarily postponed them. The American
people have no desire to provide other
than a fit and comfortable home for their
President. and will in securing it, grudge no
reasonable expenditure The intelligence OF
its dilapidation will surprise those who have
no opportunity of personally inspecting it.
Let the money which has been appropriated
be spent, and as much more as may be found
necessary - Tribune.
