The Ostrich Feather Mania.

The latest mail advices from South
Africa represent that business affairs
there are in somewhat demoralized
condition. Trade was extremely dull,
accounts difficult to collect, and the
financial outlook anything but bright.
The cause for this state of affairs is said
to be on account of the mania for
diamond speculation and ostrich farm
ing. The former has swallowed up i'm
mense sums, one share holder alone in
worthless company having, it is said,
lost about $2,500,000. The ostrich
farming mania has also proved disas-
trous to many who went into the bust
ness. Farmers, merchants and even
"private" persons became possessed Of
the idea that they could realize fortunes
IN a few years by farming a few
ostriches. A sudden and absurd de-
mand arose, and the birds were bought
at ridiculously high prices.
Those who were not able to buy for
cash gave bills, which were discounted
well; but there came a pause, followed
by reflection, and then by something
like panic. The reaction was rapid;
feathers fell in value, and a general
rush was made to realize on the birds
before the bills fell due. From one ex-
IRENE the disSoncerted ostrich speoula-
.t--.-roIS % the other. Many pairs of
the birds which were purchased for
from $3.50 to 81, 900, were sold for $3.50
and less, and later on buyers could not
be found at any price over ten dollars
or fifteen dollars. OF course the de-
moralizing effect of all this on trade can
be readily imagined.

An Officers Situation,

When the Michigan Cavalry Brigade
was sent West to wallop the Indians af-
ter the close of the war, one of the COM
panies in the Sixth was commanded by
lieutenant who was hated by every
man in his command. He realized this
fact, and lost no opportunity to make it
warm for the boys. One evening when
the Regiment went into camp on the
banks of the Platte, far beyond Omaha,
the lieutenant rugged up fish line and
slipped off down the stream to try his
luck. Rattlesnakes were plenty out
there then, and it was we'll known that
the officer had horror of them. He
was fishing away, getting nibble now
and then, when one of the boys stole
forward 90 within ten feet of him, and
hoarsely whispered:
"For Heavens sake, Lieutenant,
don't move hand or foot. There's big
RATHER in the grass behind you ~
The officer was man of nerve, and
though he heard every word, he did not
move. He realized the situation, and
after a moment replied:
"Can't you kill it?"
"No-he's too near you! I'll 60 to
camp for a gun and come up On the
the flank"
The officer heard the man crawl
away, and he sat like statue. The
fish began to bite, but he dared not move
his arms. He saw the sun go down,
and the darkness found him as rigid as
a post. When he had been in that stu
alton fer 40 minutes, he could stand it
no longer. Gathering his breath and
muscle, he made leap into the water,
and, after swimming and wading for 80
rods, he climbed out and struck for
camp, as wet as rat and loaded down
with mud. The story had gone around
the camp, and at least 400 men were
out to greet his return and question him
regarding the length of the reptile. The
officer took solemn vow to make some
body sweat for that trick, but he fell
before an Indians bullet before he had
secured his revenge.-M. QUAD.

The Fastest Team in the World.

A letter from Hartford, Conn.,, says
Mr.. W. W. Bair received a dispatch
from ". 81. Vanderbilt directing him to
ship at once his horses, which have
been stabbed at Charter Oak Park.
Before making his preparations to start,
he took out Aldine and Early Rose for
exercise, Aldine being on the near side.
AS the day was fine and the track in
splendid condition, he concluded to
give them a fast mile. Watches were
held in the stand by @. 81. Knapp, of
Boston; Eugene a. Hyde, of the Oak
wood Hotel; Joseph Fl. Bolton, CT the
Park Central Hotel, and Keran Couran,
Superintendent of the park. Four starts
were made. In the first two the quarter
pole was reached, but Early Rose broke
and acted badly, and they were called
back. In the third trial they got to the
half in 1:08, when Rose broke again,
and Bair returned for fourth trial,
which was a success. The horses came
down fair and square and got the word,
going the mile without skip in 2:164,
one quarter faster than the fastest time
ever made before, which was by Works
team. Edward and Dick Swiveller, at
Fleetwood During the heat hose
"tip-toed much of the way to the
wagon-pole, and struck the wheel
several times, but never broke. The
time at the half was LOS, and the last
quarter was trotted in 0:32, 2:O8 gait.
Mr.. Bair carried 152 pounds, or two
pounds over weight. An affidavit is
furnished by the gentlemen holding the
watches as to the correctness of the
time.

The Erie Canal.

A few figures given below will show
the Importance Of the Erie Canal. The
principal lines of transportation from
the West to the East include ten
thousand miles of railway, seven hun
dred miles Of river, sixteen hundred
miles of lake and sixteen hundred of
canal. OF the freight brought over
them nearly one-fourth of the whole
quantity comes through the Erie Canal
alone, though it is only open six months
Of the year.
Exclusive of its branches the canal is
three hundred and fifty two miles long
from Albany to Buffalo, and it has
nearly eight thousand boats upon it,
which travel nine million five hundred
thousand miles in a season. The num-
Der of men and boys employed ON the
boats is twenty eight thousand, and the
number of horses and mules used in
towing is about sixteen thousand.
In the busy seasons about one hun
dred and fifty boats reach tidewater
through the Erie Canal daily, and
bring more cargo than twenty miles of
railway trains could carry.
The time Of transit between Buffalo
and Albany is about eleven days, and
the cost of carrying barrel of flour
between those points varies from forty
to fifty cents.
The railway train attracts attention
In every village through which it passes,
but the canal-boat glides through the
narrow inland water way unnoticed, so
unobtrusive is it; and yet should a
delay occur at one of the locks, in
twenty four hours hundreds of boats
would accumulate, with as much grain
on board as would feed nation for at
least dav.
