The Great CiviNzers.

Ono Of the most beautiful snd appro-
priate euioRies e7er pronounced upon the
work performed by iailroads was that
uttered by the late Hon. Byron Paine, Of
the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in render

Clark vs. Farrinet1H, when he said:

Of the world, along which The gigantic cur.

whose intcsGst or comfort has not been in
some degree sdbsersed bs them. They
bring to our doors the prcddcsions of the

social life and of friendship, they

the sick and the wounded, and en-.

bedside If the dying. They have more
than realized the fabulous conception OF
the eastern Imagination, which pictured the
genii as transporting an inhabited palace

United States commissioner of agriculture.
Mr.: Loring was greeted by a fine audience
which he highly entertained. His theme was.
THE American Dairy and tho Management Of
Dairy Stock" The subject Of raising cattle,
suited to different purposes were treated Of
Interestingly and inteligently. He fnds that
in 1880 there were 12,412,137 Mulch cows
In the United States, an increase over 1870 Of

all cattle has, however, been 1867, 100

These figures indicate the valve and impor-

ton represents. This interest in the northwest

He also considered the question Of feed, and
said In conclusion:
