why Beef II Dear.

The Scieuti6c American, gives the
following reason why Eeef-an article OF
every day consumption, is high in
price:
The reasons given for the current high
price of beef are many. The Winter of
1880 81 was exceptionally severe and
heavy losses OF stock were suffered on
this great cattle ranges of the West. The
drought of the ensuing Summer acted
not less unfavorably upon the smaller
herds of the East. The hay crop was
short, and the Summer and Fail pastur-
age failed over many States; so that
farmers were forced to kill their young
stock. In this way, we are told, the
beet supply was diminished in both
quantity and quality, leaving the de-
III and for good beef far in advance of the
supply. The expectation Of nearly 100,-
900 ga Ia attributed still further to
essen h Doef supply for home mar.
ket Irv,ntage was taken of the situa-
ion hy speculative dealers and eombi-
n,tjJna controlling millions of capital,
al ,d by local rings of butchers and mar
kstmen, and the price of beef was there.
by raised far above what 1t would have
been in the ordinary course of trade.
all these conditions no doubt had
their influence; yet underlying them all
was one of vastly greater scope and po!
tency. Notwithstanding the enormous
advance made in cattle raising during
the past twenty years or 30, the increas
cd supply even in favorable seasons,
has not been at all commensurate with
the increased demand as the in
crease in cattle Is less than in
population, so that even with no change
in dietetic habits the demand for beef
would tend steadily to outrun the
supply. But our appetite for beef in
creases much more rapidly than our
numbers.
The market. man makes his daily
rounds with fresh beef in hundreds of
where salt pork was eaten |
almost exclusively twenty-five years
ago; and generally throughout the
country beef has largely displaced pork |
on the tables of farmers, mechanics and
well.to do people. This is partly because
of the universal improvement in the
scale of popular living due to general
prosperity, but more,:perhaps, to the In
flueDce of On active school of would-be !
health reformers who have persistently
pork as an article of food and
created widespread and unreasona-
bic prejudice against it.

wide fame owing TO the use which It's women

William III, in 1890. The fire was SO gall
ing, and it was maintained with such I'M
erring aim, that the soldiers were forced to
hy before it, aud were slaughtered in the
effort to pass the breach in the wall which
had been made by their own efforts. Ever
since the day of that victory, at compare
lively short intervals, the weapon OF the
am szous has been employed with deadly
effect against the representatives OF the En-
glish governing force. Scores of Engllsh
regiments CHARTERED in the city have been
pursued through the public theroughfares
and compelled TO take refuge In their bar
racks in order to escape stone-thro"ing
mobs. The favorite form of attack in mod
ern times varies according TO circumstances
bat it usually provides an important place
for the women. In the hottest struggles
they pass along the line of their shsrpshoot,
ers with aprons full of "handy" stones, and
stand few feet apart until relieved OF their
burdens. Then they fall TO the rear, secure
fresh supply, and dart forward again Inc
soldiers generally defend themselves with
their belts, but there is not a single in.tance
| on record in which they have not been badly
| worsted in such encounters. During the

| agitation the police have become so obnoxious
to the mob that the attentions previously
received for her msiesty's soldiers have been
transferred to them. A considerable NUM-

THE BRIDGE OVER THE ARNO.
BY GEORGE BIRDsEY


A story of Florence, years ago.
Which is related just to show
How a bridge was built at no expense,
And as hint to cities far from thence.
The Duke OF Florence once, tits said,
A scheme found fit ng thro' hi head,
How, waiting Hot reluctant offers
That did not come,
He sill might fill the citys Golfers
With good round sum.
He sent abroad proclamation
To all the low and poor in station,
Beggars and tramps,
All without stamps,
A certain day to meet, and there
Upon the city's public square
Received brand new suit OF clothing.
There old ones were the peoples loathing,
So filthy one could scarce determine
Which took precedence, rags or vermin.
The beggars viewed this proclamation
With wonder, joy and admiration;
Declared their speech was quite unable
To thank for gift so charitable,
And one for which. indeed,
They stood 80 much in need.
The long dior day at last came round;
They every one S-re on the ground
Hunt where you would,
Could not or could,
Twas there aloI e they could be found;
So many that YOU would have wondered
You could but count them by the hundred,
And, for precaution. We're surrounded
3
Then they were told:
New clothes for oldi'
And, to their CONSERVATION,
For further information,
Were forced to str p, there on the spot
Whether they want d to or not
InIo those dear new suits TO creep,
And leave their old rags in heap.
In getting clothes so very cheap
You would not think it cause to weep;
Yet many did, almost to blind them,
Obliged to leave their rags behind them.
Here's explanation of this rude
Exhibit of ingratitude,
As also the dukes silence snrewd:
Those rags off-stript
Carefully ripp'd.
Thoroughly search d in every seam,
Developed a mine
OF wealth to shine,
Sufficient to justify his dream.
And with those proceeds of beggarly guilt
That bes utiful bri ge was speedily built,
That stands this day the glorious pride
OF FIorence's city and Amos tide.

May never shine for you;
The fragile thread OF life may all be spun,
And heavens Furnished blue.

Where feathery fronds of fern
Play with the breeze with my footsteps gone

While gazing 70 the hills Of amethyst

And lift their folded Cummits far away,

rr.s,,,o. of AN Ancient ni.ing Town.

Some twenty-three years ago Texan, who
came through 10 California BY way OF Mex
leo. Informed the writer that in the Gusda-
louplmounl aims the guide of their train, an
old trapper and preacher, took him TO
ruined town where there were silver mines.
They travelled several miles from the wagon
road into the mountains, and came TO place
where there was a tunnel on ridge, with
mauy roofess stone buildiDgs-some OF them
yery large-in a valley below. The country
was then full of Indians, and the two men
were frightened away a few minutes after
reaching the tunnel, but our Texan carried
with him a piece of rock from the dump,
which upon his arrival in Mexico experts
pronounced rich silver ore. When silver was
strrfck in the Comstock, our Texan, who
was then in Omega, Nevada county, CAL,
was hot 10 go 10 the Guadaloup mountains.
An effort was made TO fit out an expedition,
| but those enlisted deserted and came to the
Comstock. We are reminded of all this by
| the following dispatch, dated Austin, Tex,
| October llth: "The adjutznt-genersl has

Methodist camp-meeting tune, somewhat
altered in form, and the brigade band at the
fort wss the first that played it. The singers
entered the Twelfth Regiment, which
marched through Boston, New York and
Baltimore, to this grand chorus from 1000
throats, and the music ran through
the Army of the Potomac, nor
ceased until grim, powder-blAckened
choirs had chanted it in Texas and Ala
bams, and down the great Mississippi, and
on all the foWery coasts of the Gull, and
through the Carolinss, and along the streets
of conquered Richmond. From Fort War
rem came the Marseillaise Of our emanci-
pairing revolution. As Admiral Prebel says:
Few people aside from those who kept step

camp ires during the long, doll nights and
days of army life, knew the extent Of lis
popularity and the deep hold it took upon
the soldiers hearts. 1t spread from regi-
