above referred to. According to Mr.. Baker,
full grown imported birds standing seven or
eight feet high, and sound in wind and limb,
have brought from 1000 to 81, 200 each, and
yet enterprising farmers hope to secure good
interest on such an investment. This expecta-
ton is based on the fact that a yearning for
borrowed plumage is an original element III the
constitution Of the female character, so that
while woman endures the market can never
collapse. Besides this, the modern ostrich
farmer doesn't allow the bird to demean herself
MS she did in Jobs day. Her eggs are not left
in the sand. but carefully placed in patent
hatcher. The farmer nurses the young de-
prved Of maternal care, so that the increase Is
quite rs certain as that of the most civilized
poultry. The feathers of the chickens can be
counted before they hatch, and altogether the
crop is reasonably certain.
Consul Bakers report is intended to encour-
age this industry in tho United States, and he
gives elaborate details in regard to the birds
and their habits, their breeding, rearing and
plucking. The climate of the Southern States
and California, where they have already been
introduced, appears to be adapted to their
needs. They will eat anything except railroad
iron, and they only drink "Once every few
days. A single pair Of well-fed birds will
hatch n clutch Of chickens four times year,
with from ten to fifteen chickens III each
clutch" At Cape Town chicken a month old
is cheap at $50, so that the increase of a single
pair would be worth say 300 per year. The
pluckings, which are made every six or nine
months, are equally remunerative, each birds
product Of feathers for a year amounting to
1925 and upward. This can be readily under
stood when it is remembered that there are
twenty-five feathers on each wing, and good
white plume will bring s. at wholesale. Con-
sui Baker thinks that the plumuge Of birds
reared in South America will be richer and more
desirable than the African feathers, because Of
certain climatic advantages on this continent,
and he does not see why the most gorgeous
plumcs cannot be produced in the United
States The colOnists of the Cape have taken
the alarm lest their monopoly should be
broken, and are making efforts to prevent the
expectation of well-bred fowls. Any live Yam
kee who is moved to embark in this industry
would do WELL therefore, to procure setting OF
eggs at once With his chickens hatched the
future is secure, for there is limit to the age
which an ostrich may attain if his or her legs
are insur ed against the zcr-walta and other ac-
cldents.

cannot be mistaken for so long time III SUCH Il
crisis as that which Guiteau has passed through.
The shock of horror with which Gulteaus dceo
was received by the Nation, the genuine sym
pathv with which the people watched Desue
Garfeld's wife and mother over the dying oco
of the victim, were in keeping with our Ma
tional character; yet SO too has been the paIeh'
forbcarance with which the people nave
treated the gibbeIing murderer, ana even inc
vulcar public amusement ut his antics. But the
ine1orable Justice waiting behind this lndul-
ccnce IL American also. We are, unfortu-
nately. tolerably familiar with crime IN TINS
country. So long as VIC are the City OF Refuge
among nations we shall be so. We make niue
outcry about it compared with the habit OF the
French or Englshman. But sooner or later by
Lynch or other law, it gets It's quletus.
Guiteau himself, too, belongs peculiarly to his
country and his time just as much ~ ""rl'eiu
did. One showed what the wide chances, the
level standing ground will do for pure, honor
able nature with high aims; she other the'r
effect in developing malignant, uncleah crea-
ture. Vanity and cgotsm and political corruP-
tion were thc devils which entered into Guiteau
and possessed him. In L country loss lrcc'
Garfield would probably have remained Tor IlIe
an obscure teacher or preacher; and tins poor
wretch would have been trampled into the muh
long ago, too deep even to sting the heel OIL inc
man who walked above him. No doubt we
shall have presently purely American hang
ing to end this hidc0us drama; probably a S"S-
ticulating, Grating victim posing and playing 4
role even on the gallows and whole people
looking on Curously.
As Judge Porter declared, the majesty OF inc
law. the integrity Of the jury and the honor ot
the country will be viudcatcd by this trial and
its result. But il Is an American characteristic
to learn quickly how to better both manners
and morals; and the Guteau trial should teach
Us that our patience could remain rs good
humorcd, our justice is inexorable, our vindl-
cation of law and the honor of the country as
complete. and yet that We could make much
needed and Unreasonable advance III deccncy'
dccorum and dignity.

OSTRICH FARMING.

The most complimentary thing which job
was able to say for the ostrich was that "sle
scorncth the horse and his rider According
to the patriarch she was without natural aiiec-
tior-hardcncd against her young ones as
though they were not hcrs-and although en-
lowed with goodly feathers, understanding
hadnot been impaired to her, and Of wisdom had
she been deprived. Natural historians more re-
cent more profanc, and more or less trust
worthy, have represented her as a dcniZcn of
desert places which supplied her modest ncces-
sites, loose stones, to wit, which she devoured
and digcstcd or hurled back at her purSucrS,
and an occasional bush to furnish cOnccalmcnt
for her head. The circus ostrich, a fowl of de
jcctcd micn, which nhabits Il Gaze and feeds on
par3isols, is widely distributed throughout this
country in the summer season but naSmuch as
this species is usually arrayed in plumage con-
sructed by the deprayed and mSclcntfc
crcuS-man, it has little OInith0logical value
Public interest in the genus concentrates itself
upon the genuine unframed African bird

its feathers by generations Of negroes until 1t Is

DR.. Lyon Payfair's admissions respecting the
success of American industries are iii striking
contrast with the reflections of The Saturday
Reuiew and what is by courtesy called the
leading English journal the Guitcau trial.
He is a Free Trader, but he does not blink the
fact that the enormous growth of many of our
most important manufactures is due entirely
10 the Protective system. He even predicts
that the United States will become the great
manufacturing country of the world. When
snch emphatic testimony is given by trained

economic policy, Americans can read with COM
