Moncar Letter to New York Post.
"IS Mr.. Spencer social in his tastes

Moncmlr Letter to New York Post.
"lS Mr.. Spencer social in his tastcs?'
Ills principles are social, should
say, rather than his tastes. He is not
n society man, like Tyndall, and in the
sense that Tyndall is; but his cOnversa-
tion is something remarkable. An en-
ccllcnt English authority once referred
to him 'aS the finest talkcr ever heard. >
But the late Rev. DR.. Bellows, who
judged things by their brilliancy, said
that Spencer was stupid. The fact is,
Spencer, rs talkcr is mighty, rather
than brilliant. When writing his books
he dictates every word to an amanucn-
sis, and works only three hours day.
For years he has not worked longer
than that. Then, when the allotted
three hours are spent, anything for di-
vcrsion-particularly the opera or the
concert, or billiards, and, above all,
when he is quite used up, the country.
He is extremely fond of the country,
and in his periods OF greatest distress
will fly ththcr and stay until he picks
himself up Il little. But his life has
been utterly devoid of incident, and
there is, indeed, nothing to be written
about him except what he himself has
written in his works. All that can be
said is what has already appeared in
Appleton's cyclopcdia, jingled up n lit
tle-that he was born in 1926 that his
father was Il teacher; that he was fond
of observing and experimenting with
insects and philosophical apparatus;
that he was proficient in mathematics
devised u theorem in geometry; that he
became u civil engineer; that he cxcr-
cised himself us an inventor; that he
tried literary work in London, but did
not succeed; that, in 1854, he became
convinced that all organized beings
have become what they are by develop
ment that, in 1860, he published II
prospectus of philosophical system
founded upon that doctrine, and that
he has since been engaged in the evolu-
tiOn of that system. But there are no
events in his life. His distinction is
simply that he is Il thinker. Twenty
years ago one of his friends in this
country said that he was destined to be
the foremost thinker to stimulate Amer
lean thought. That's what he is to
day. He has no family--neither wife
nor children, father, mother, sister or
brother. He is alone and independent.
But, notwithstanding all that has been
written about him, no one has yet
placed him as thinker. His exact
rank in the hierarchy of thinkers has
not yet been defined" "

NJ. Parmenticr, in 1888, introduced
potatoes into France in anovcl manner
Having planted considerable breadth
of potatoes at Montreuil, near Paris,
he gained an audience of the unfortu.
nate Louis xvi, in the course of which
he inspired his majesty with ideas Of
the value of the potato.
"But how are we to make people eat
what they are so prejudiced against"
inquired the king.
"Sire, If your majesty will graciously
afford me q little aid, that prejudice
shall be removed, +" replied Parmentier.
"To overcome prejudice is difficult;
but how can aid you, NJ. ParmentierP'
"If your majesty will graciously or
der that soldier shall mount guard
in my potato field at Montreuil, pota-
toes shall be all the fashion in less than
six months. "
The king laughed, and granted Par
mentier's request. Thenceforward a
military guard might be seen prone
nading with measured step the natural
lists potato field. How precious must
that blue-nowercd plant be, thought
the lookers-on. No more fear of lep-
rosy mo more dread of poisoning.
The highest people in France were
proud to eat potatoes.

National Live Stock Journal.
Putting on one side all the advantages
which have accrued TO the breeders OF
shorthorn cattle, by what in America
is called the ''boom' which has helped
the breed along, there is still the fact
that when farmers want TO rear their
stock by hand, and make part of the
return in dairy produce, there has not
yet been found the equal of the short
horn for that purpose. Several breeds,
under different circumstances. could
be made into better beef, but they won't
give milk at the same time; and several
breeds, under similar circumstances
would give more milk, but they can't
be made into good beef, and are con
sequently useless to feed out when bar.
rem or to rear rs steers The short
horn can be reared out of the pail, bred
on arabic land, will give fair amount
of good milk, and can be fed easily in
stall during winter into a salable "car-
cassh of socond-rate beef. Now,
want to know where another breed is to
be found that will do likewise and do il
as well,

The two greatest cities in America, and
in many respects, the greatest in the
world, are brought very close to each
other, in time, by the Fast Express of
the Michigan Central r. r.
This Train leaves Chicago every af-
tcrnoon at $3.50 p. M, and arrives in
New York and Philadelphia the next
evening. The Dining cars, for which
the Michigan Central is famous, ac-
company this train from Chicago to
Niagara Falls; aiding materially in the
economy of time, and adding mu-
nifcently to the comfort and enjoy
ment of passengers. A point that the
people should make particular note of,
is, that although the Michigan Central
affords great advantages to travellers,
and the highest grade of accommoda-
tions, no extra charge is made on the
Fast Express, Notwithstanding the fact
that other roads charge extra fares.
The Boston and New York Express
leaves every day at 5;l5 p. M, with
Dining Cars to Niagara Falls, and
Sleepers to New York and Boston.

] luUlu : companion.
Professor Fawcett, the blind, but
very able, English postmaster general,
has recently made II report upon the
poStollicc, which is full of interesting
and suggestive facts.
The English postoilcc has gradually
become, not only TIE great medium for
conveying letters and papers, but u
sort of general convenience bureau for
the benefit of the people. 1t is n great
national savings bank, it is Il financial
agent for transmitting sums of money;
il is a vast express Office for conveying
goods and parcels; and it is universal
telegraph bureau. It will not perhaps
be long before the management of the
telephone will also be included among
its functions.
Some idea of the extent to which the
English use their pOstoilice may be
gathered from the fact that it yields n
revenue to the national treasury of no
less than fifteen and Il half million dol
lars annually. This sum is the net in.
come from thcpostoilicc after all its eX-
penSes have been paid.
The immense increase in the use of
the poStoilicc by the people may be
Judged when il is said that forty years
ago that department did not pay its
own way. Under the old system of
expensive postage, when it was cost
~ luxury to send u letter to friend
from London to New York, the post
office was Il burden upon, instead of
being Il contributor to, the national
treasury.
About lsiO, Sir Rowland Hill per.
Suadcd parliament to adopt the uniform
postage of one penny for each letter
weighing not more than half an ounce;
TO apply this 10 the whole kingdom;
and at the same time to abolish the
privilege of fraHking, which had been
before enjoyed by lords and commons.
This great reform, which put it in
the power of the poorest to make use
Of the poStollicc, by making postage
every where cheap, was also the begin
ming OF the financial prosperity of the
Before the adoption Of the penny
postage, il was calculatcdi that every
man, woman and child in Great Britain
received ON an average, three letters Il
year. Now, every person receives, ON
I'M average, thirty-iivc letters II year
More than twelve hundred millions
of letters are annually sent through /.
the mail Besides these, the pOstOllicc
distributes two hundred and seventy
Of book packets and circulars,
one hundred and forty millions of
newspapers, and forty millions OF tclc-
grams.
improvements are continually going
on in the British pOStOilicc. Prof. Faw-
cctt is inspired with great ardor for re-
form. Parcels will soon he sent through |
the office, weighing seven pounds aud
under. for three pence (SiX ccntS) u
pound. A system Is about to be intro.
duccu by which a person who receives

answer ON the same card.
TricyclcS and bicycles are now used

enters the well at the bottom in large

operation of large steam pump, which
runs night and day. There is room fol
twenty-five or thirty men to work upon
the bottom ofthis well. When it is com

a gigantic tank, which, being elevated
above the ground on scallolding, will
give sufficient gravity to send water in
