She Wanted q Costly Shawl.

The wife of prominent New York
politician, "who began life at q hotel,
but not as guest, " invited q young man
to go shopping with her for came]'s-
hair shawl. he contrived to inform an
acquaintance in the shawl department of
q large establishment, that if he wanted
to sell her shawl he must put up the
price. Receiving permission from his
employer to keep all he could get above
$3.50, he, with much fear and trembling,
asked her $3.50. els that the best you
have?" "The very best" She turned
away, and said she was sorry, because
she liked the pattern. On telling her
husband of her luck, he informed her
that Alderman -'s wife got 81. 900
shawl at another establishment, and ad-
vised her to go there. She did so, and
found there salesman who had more
"gall" than the other fellow. He
asked her $3.50. She said there was one
for $3.50 at --'s store, but it wasn't
good enough. She liked the pattern.
Rejecting moment, the clerk told her
they had one left, but it had been or
dered sent to Mrs. Vanderbilt. If it had
not gone, she should have it for 800
more than Mrs. Vanderbilt was willing
to pay for it. The clerk sent over to the
other store for the shawl she had refused
the day before. She said it was very
much like the pattern Of the one she
liked, but anyone could see that it was
far superior. The salesman, saying she
evidently knew camel's s-hair shawl
when she saw one, charged her 81, 600,
and made the other salesman mad as a
halter by telling him Of his good luck
and how he struck it erich"

The Mexioan's Burdon-Bearer.

tOOrIoos OetIU1t FISe 1Te0S.J
It is funny to see the men astride of
the burros, which are almost hidden by
their freight. In the middle of the
night one may wake up to hear sound
like the whistle of locomotive; but, as
the sound is repeated, the first note
merges into three or four and then be-
comes louder and faster and continues
grufay until silent prayer is offered up
to have the burro's braying apparatus
removed. I inquired as to the habits of
the burro, and was given the following
history: The burro is short, four-foot-
ed, soft-coated beast, short tail, long
ears; feeds on tin cans; has an upward
motion of the hind feet and q peculiar
apparatus for braying which science has
not yet definitely located. These sure
footed and remarkably strong little ami
mails are used to transport hay and wood,
which is tied to either side Of them.
When so loaded the burro is almost in
visible and presents q comical appear
ance of hay or half cord of wood, jog
ging along on four feet. Almost any
thing can be packed in their regular
paniers. We were interested in naeeing the
novel mode of delivering milk. The
milk Jars are attached to either side of
the burro, which lays back it's ears and
looks wise, while the milk-peddler, with
large sombrero and red sash tied care
fully around his waist to brighten his
costume, rings his bell. After filing the
Jars brought out to him and q few sweet
words to the pretty Spanish girl, or i
pleasant greeting to the shrivelled old
woman, he gives the burro sharp blow
with 3 stick and then running after it,
sorambles on from behind, and away
they go up the narrow street.

RepreSentation,

Representation in Legislative bodies is
much smaller in the United States, in
proportion to population, than in any of
the leading countries of the world.
While the United States, with popu-
lation OF 80, ,OOO, 900 havingonly 369 SEN
ators and members of congress, Ger
many with As, ,OOO, 900 has 1877 delegates;
England, "a, 900, 900, has 658 members
of parliament; France, $4,000, 900, is
represented by $50 senators and repre-
sentatives; Spain, II, 900, 900, population,
has 387 deputies in the cortes; and
Austro-H Hungary with IS, 600, 900 people
hasa legislative body of 1000 in the two
houses. If the United States had rep
resentation in congress upon the same
basis as Austro- Hungary, there would
be no less than 2,286 members of con-
gress and senator's to worry the rail-
roads and other monopolies. The ex-
pense to such law-defying corporations
would be great, and in the end would
have to be paid by the public. There
fore it is probably as well for the general
welfare of the country to leave the rep
resentation at smaller number. It is
more convenient and less expensive in
the long run.

TORNADO PRElloN1T1oNs.

On commenting on the terrific cyclones
which recently swept over Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Iowa, the New York Herald
makes the assertion that they will not
prove unmi1ed evils if they lead the
western people to view these storms not
as occult phenomena, but as measurably
within the power of science to predict.
The idea usually entertained is that
tornado is an isolated feature of an at
mospheric disturbance, and that the
deadly, whirling meteor swoops down,
without warning, 80 suddenly that no
precaution is of any avail. The torna-
does of the last ten years, however,
show, as those recently reported from
the west do, that they seldom occur
singly, but are generated in troops nearly
simultaneously along well-de6ned parts
of general depression, during clearly
marked alterations of temperature. A
study of the map will show that the re-
cent tornadoes cover belt of country
four hundred miles wide along the
southern edge of a barometric depres-
sion stretching frem Dakota beyond
Lake Michigan. While it may always
be impossible to foresee exactly where a
tornado will descend with fatal effects, it
is far from impossible even ROW to indi-
cate the belt of country over which, un-
der given thermometric conditions, a
series of destructive tornadoes may con-
6dently be expected. Such warnings
could not fail to put exposed commune
ties on the lookout for such catastrophes
as recently befel Grinnell, Iowa, and
several towns in Kansas; and, however
flimsily western villages are built up the
premonition would no doubt in many
cases prove the saving of valuable lives.
Besides having this kind of warnings
based on the remote meteorological con-
ditions, the districts assailed would also
have the local signs of the death-dealing
storm to guide them in their prepara-
tions for it's onset. But, adds the Her
aid, though the western people may thus
be enabled to dodge cyclone, they
ou hit to build their towns in way to
withstand these tremendous forces.

LIVE STOCK m GREAT BRITAIN.

A grave diminution has taken place in
live stock in Great Britain, says the Bos-
ton Advertiser, while in our own coun-
try decided advance could be reported.
The diminution of the number of sheep
in Great Britain has been set forth elab.
orately by an article in the London
Times. Since 1868 up to 1881, the de-
crease has been 2, 712, 900 or twenty. one
and two.thirds per cent. The present
number of sheep in the United Kingdom
is in round plumbers only q, 7,o82, 900.
while in the United States in 1870 there
were %, ,478, 900 and the tables Of the
census of 1880 will show q large increase
in stock Of this description. There has
been in Great Britain no replacement Of
sheep by an augmentation in herds. In
the thirteen years under review, the ins
crease in cattle was but nine per cent.
Or, to repeat the figures in another form,
while there was, . falling OF in sheep of
z, 7,712, 600, there was s gain in cattle 81
$4,000, Reckoning each head d cattle

as equivalent to six sheep, the combined
cattle and sheep stock has diminished in
the whole kingdom during this period
three per cent. The money value repre-
sented by the decline is nearly $35, ,00O,-
600. All the English counties except
three have less live stock than in 1868.
The decrease in live stock, moreover, has
occurred not merely upon the same,
but upon larger total area OF cultivated
land, and on greater number of acres,
3,777,00O devoted to food
crops, or more than ten per cent. This
extra acreage means not an accession of
wealth, but an increased expenditure,
since smaller head of stock is kept.
The decrease in live stock reckoned as
sheep, per one hundred acres of per-
manent pasture, is twelve per cent. for
the whole kingdom. The diminution of
the crop of lands during the thirteen
years was 5000, 900, or twenty-three per
cent. The increase in COWS and heifers
for the same time was but 5000. Be-
sides the falling off in farmers capital,
other causes have aided the decline, the
seasons not favoring an increase, in some
instances, and other reasons, influential
in part, being assigned.

DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE FOR cR 1ME

The court of appeals of New York,
has passed upon the question whether
drunkenness can be pleaded as defense
to charge of murder. It was claimed
by the counsel for condemned murderer
that his client was the victim of an ap-
petite for drink which amounted to a
disease that destroyed his will power
and rendered him legally irresponsible,
as in the case of insanity. A new trial
was therefore asked, because the court
below had refused to charge the jury
that the accused was not responsible if
the crime had been committed when he
was the victim of such disease or if COM
mitted while he was drunk. The court
of appeals refused to recognize drunken
ness as any excuse for crime. It holds
that not even frenzy or mental aliena-
tion caused by drink can exempt per-
son accused of murder from criminal re-
sponsibility. If man voluntarily gets
drunk and commits crime while in that
condition he must answer for the conse-
quences of his acts. This, says the
Herald, is obviously sensible view,
though not new one, in criminal iuris-
prudence. It would be a parody on the
administration of justice if the vice of
getting drunk were accepted as an excuse
for committing a crime.
