sHRFP RAISING.

An Engiishman, who has had many
years experience in the sheep business in
the Argentine Republic, writes us reasons
as to why so many persons fail who en-
gage in wool production He says:
Failure is caused because of the fact
that many think that no special knowledge
is required as to the business, whereas
scarcely any business requires so much
He says: have had many years expert
ence, and have seen many failures from
this cause. I myself invested in a hurry
and repented at leisure. TO successfully
carry on this business you must know how
to cure foot-rot. the class of sheep to raise
to suit your market the class of sheep to
suit your land and climate, the class of
bucks to choose for the class of ewes you

they require during lambing, how to Gull

your sheep, what remedies to use TO pre-
vent lombrize and other diseases, and last
not least, how TO speak to and manage
your herders, particularly if they are Mexi-
caus. Iweuld advise anyone wishing to
enter the sheep business to get good,
competent man that understands the bust
ness and pay him well. and study under
him while he runs the business; or pay
good sheepman f10o for year to learn on
his place, and it will be the best e100 ever
invested, as by that time you viii have time
to try and see how you like the business be-
cause if you get disguised over it and do
not enter heart and soul you had better try
something else before you lose your money.

LIE this question was directly addressed
to all.the congressman who have figured
and who still flourish as millionaires, with
a demand for a categorical answer, there
would be less stealing at Washiugton and
the scandals that disgrace the halls OF lcgis
lation would be few and far between. Men
who we're formerly sc outented to live IN
cheap boarding houses, now occupy pala-
tial residences at the capital, and set up as
leaders of society
Look at the case of John Sherman. who
in 1859 could not defray the expenses of
his canvass for speaker, but who now reek-
IONS his fortune by millions. He was at the
same time an intimate friend of Jay Cooke
and his firm, and chairman of the finance
committee of the senate, with power to
regulate the forms of the war loans. and
with influence at the treasury to favor
whomsoever he chose.
When John Sherman became secretary
of the treasury the First National bank of
this city Immediately changed hands, the
purchasers paying 100 per cent premium
on the stock Two of them had been part
ners in jay Cookies concern and had
sworn at the time of the failure that they
had no property to return for the credi-
tors, except personal ornaments. Did
they represent John Sherman in the pur-
chase?
y The capital of this bank is $500, 900, and
it now boasts of assets aggregating nearly
four millions, exclusive of enormous divi-'
dends, all made while John Sherman was
secretary of the treasury, inside of four
years The glaring and shameless favor
itism for its profit in the sale of the four
per cents, and in order respects, is notori-
Gus, and exhibits an audacity of corrup-
ton hardly ever equalled by any public
man here or elsewhere. II is quite fitting
that the building of the First National
bank at Broadway and Wall street should
be popularity called Fort Sherman"

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-The paymaster
general of the army IN his report for the
fiscal year shows the total receipts and

July Goth be so amended as to allow, in the
discretion of the secretary of war, one
months leave of absence to officers of the
army without reduction of pay. and an
allowance for each year during which such
absence has not been taken. He thinks it
would be better still If the laws for pay to
officers while on leave were repealed. The
enlisted men of the army continue TO avail
themselves of the benefit of the deposit

Points on the Hotel Business.

The landlord, my dear children, is aA
honest man, generally; but unless you
keep away from his house, he will take
YOU in if he can.
But do not Judge him too harshly. If
he can put up with you, you should be
able to put up with him.
He is always ready to give everybody
q warm reception, and puts you on the
register as soon as you arrive.
The landlord is the head of the hotel.
He is also its boniface.
The landlord, though usually tenl-
perate man, is never so happy as when
lie is full
Nothing pleases him so much as TO
see host in his house, but empty
though his house may be, still he is a
host in himself.
In some hotels they have stated hours
for breakfast, dinner and supper; but
you can get meals at all hours.
The landlord is ever watchful of his
actions, although the keeper of an inn
is necessarily inn-discreet.
Drinking habits are not necessarily
prevalent at the hotel, but almost every
body's first care on entering one is to
call for the porter.
The landlord viii give you 4 room if
he have it
While you are at his house you are
his guest, but probably you have al
ready guessed that.
Some persons are very Illogical in
their treatment of landlords. / once
knew a man who said a certain hotel
keepers house was not fit to lodge in,
and Immediately afterwards lodged a
complaint with him.
The landlord usually charges for ex-
tras. but he considers this honest and
above board. boston Transcript.
