How Cattle Are Shipped to England,

Cattle are taken on and under deck
in stalls measuring two feet eight inches
on vessels sailing from New York, and
Two feet six inches on those from all
other ports of the United States.
These stalls are built under the super
vision of the Insurance Inspector. Dur.
ing the summer shippers prefer to
ship on deck, as the cattle get more air
and come out fresher at the end of the
voyage. On deck the steamships car
ry between a $50 and IT'S animals. the
undertook about 225 head. Drink
ing water is condensed by steam pro.
cess on board for their use, the ocean
itself providing never failing source
of supply. The cattle are generally
put on the steamer in the stream, after
it has left the dock, an old ferry-boat
usually being used for the purpose.
The number of cattle to be taken is
regulated by the Insurance Inspectors,
and cattle exporters must pay the en-
tire freight, according to his report,
even if they do not ship the entire
number,
Sheep and pigs are slowed away in
stalls on deck where there is not
enough room for the cattle. Some.
Itimes'in the early spring when the sea
is liable to disturbances, some of the
cattle get overheard, and then very
lively time ensues in getting them out.
The cattle are hoisted on board usu-
ally and lowered, two at a time, by a
winch, into the hold. The allowance
of water is from six to ten gallons a
day to each bullock. The amount of
fodder averages one ton to each ami
NAL. The rates of insurance appar-
emily vary. Some shippers give it at
3 per cent. in summer to 10 per cent.
in winter. There is more risk to the
cattle from the perils of the sea in the
latter season, as a heavy storm may
make it necessary to tighten the ship
by throwing the entire deckload of
cattle overheard. The carrying ca
pacity of the vessels. Of course, varies;
but the average, as given by an old
shipper, may be put safely at 200 head
at shipment, taking large and small
vessels into account. On some of the
large steamers the number has reached
500, and one Boston steamer has car
ried as many as SAL head. The largest
shipment from New York by one
steamer was $50 head.-Pitts5mgh

Artesian Wells in New York.
IN. Y; Evening Mail,7


Much interest was felt in the under
taking, about year ago, of boring an
artesian we'll under the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The drill war driven down to
depth of 2, 100 feet, almost half a
mile, but no important vein of water
was struck, and the enterprise was
abandoned. 1t is not difficult, how
ever, to secure an ample supply Of
water by such boring, especially be-
low Twentythird street, the depth OF
the forty or fifty artisan wells now in
use here being from 300 to 500 feet.
One of the most successful is that of
Bauer & Betz, brewers, which is 500
feet deep, and yields 1000 barrels of
water daily. The cost of an artesian
well Is about $4,000, so that none but
large consumers of water find it an
object to bore such wells. Many brew.
ers, manufacturs, hotel keepers and
other large consumers, pay water
tax of from $4,000 to $4,000 year;
and for them it is economy to bore
artesian wells, the water of which is
free from vegetable matter and other
surface impurities. Its temperature,
80 degrees the whole year, is so low
that little ice is required where it is
used. Mr.. Jesse Button, the contrac-
tor, who has been boring wells for
thirty years, suggests that arteslan
wells might be bored along the Croton
acqueduct to increase the water sup
ply. He thinks it would be possible
to add 100000 barrels a day to the
Croton supply from one we'll.

sent in payment Of some services per
formed by GitteAu for the Company
here in Washington. A letter was re
ceived at the Post-ofice IN this city
last night addressed 10 Charles j.
Gitteau, assassin, Capitol Prison, Wash.
ington, D. c." The postmark shows
that the letter was mailed in Boston.
A dark line is drawn around the edges
Of the envelope with a pen, giving it
the appearance Of mourning.
1t has been stated that District At
torney Corkhill committed GItteau to
jail Saturday morning, but the facts in
the case are that about fifteen minutes
after the shooting Of the President
Captain Vernon, Of the Police Force,
came to the Police Court and stated
that he had consulted Secretary Blame
as to the proper mode Of proceeding,
and was advised by Mr.. Blaine to 20
to the Police Court and get warrant
from Judge Smell for assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. The warrant
was sworn out by Captain Vernon, and
a commitment was placed in his hands.
He Immediately committed Gitteau to
Jail on these papers to await the result
of the Presidents injuries.
Yesterday morning it was reported
in the hearing of Gitteau that the Pres
ldent was dead. Shortly after he
asked for writing materials, and these
being given him he sat down and wrote
letter addressed to president Ar.
thur" in which after extending hi:
congratulations to him, he gave him &
lot of advice as to how to start out il
his new Administration. This letter
he asked the jail officials to forward tc
Vice President Arthur. 1t lis needless
to state, however, that his request was
not complied with.

and slandered | know not how many hon.
est persons, | commit the office of paying
him to the same lacquey who undertaketh
the arrears of Henry Midway this will
teach him to distinguish between honest
women and disreputable ones.
Item give to the Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Cromwell one of my promises, the
which he must want, seeing that he has
never kept any of his own.
Item: give up the ghost.
DIR. Dunlap, of Upper Canada. who
died only few years ago, bequeathed to
his sister Joan "a five-acre field to console
her for being married to man she is
obliged to henpeck, and to his third sister
Kate the family Bible, recommending her
to learn as much of its spirit as she al
ready knows of its letter, that she may be-
come better Christian. To his brother
James he willed his silver watch that he
might know from it the hour at which men
ought to rise from their bed
Conceived in the same vindietive spirit
was the will of John George of Lambeth,
who died in 1871, and providedfo his wife
as follows "Seeing that / have had the
misfortune to be married to the aforesaid
Elizabeth, who ever since our union has
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-06-25

tormented me in every possible way, that
not content with making game of all my
remonstrances, she has done all she could
to make my life miserable that heaven
seems to have sent her into the world solely
to drive me out of it; that the strength of
Samson, the genius of Homer, the prudence
of Augustus, the skill of Pyrrhus, the pa
thence of Job, the philosophy of Socrates,
the subtlety of Hannibal, and the vigilance
of Hermegenes woald not suffice to subdue
the perversity of her character.
SHILLING TO HIS WIFE.
"And as the only result has been the
ruin of my son, whom she has corrupted
and estranged from me-weighing ma
turely and seriously all these considera-
| tons, bequeath to my said wife, Eliza
beth, the sum of one shilling, to be paid TO
her within six months of my DEATH"
The will OF an Englishman, who had
| conceived violent hatred against the
Irish, contained the following singular
clause: Il give and bequeath the annual
sum of ESQ to be paid in perpetuity out of
my estate for the purchase of certain
quantity of liquor, vulgarlY called whisky Z;
and it shall b. publicly advertised that a
certain number of persons-Irish only
not to exceed one hundred, who may choose
to assemble in the cemetery in which
shall be inferred, on the anniversary of my
death, shall have the same distributed TO
them. Further, it is my wish that each
shall receive it by half pint at a time,
till the whole is consumed, each being
| likewise provided with stout oaken stick
aud knife, and with these weapons in
| hand they shall drink the liquor all on the
| spot. Knowing what | know of the Irish
character, my conviction is that with these
materials given, they will not fail to de-
| stroy each other, and when, in the course
| of time, the race becomes exterminated,
| this neighborhood at least may, perhaps,
be coionized by civilized and respectable
Englishmen.
BEQUEATHING \ FORTUNE To FACE.
| Lady Frances Wilson was lady of plain
personal appearance, yet one gentleman for
several consecutive seasons perseveringly
| gazed at her whenever she sat in box at
the theater, until at length one day she
was informed that Lord Arden had left her
all his fortune Prompted by curiosity
to see whether it was the same man who
had followed her so intently, she re-
quested to see the corpse of Lord Arden,
and at once identified it. 1t was said,
however, at the time that Lady Frances
owed her piece of good fortune to mis-
take, as it was very beautiful woman
who usually sat in the next box to hers
to whom the gentleman meant to leave
his ample fortune.
