~ Henry Bergh has petiiioned May
or Grace of New York city to interfere

Sullivan and Wilson. The law seems
plain enough, it only remains for those
elected TO inforco it in order to break
up this fight and the class of unlawful
aud disgraceful exhibitions to which
this belongs.

A ltaihnlic Incident

Ono day abcui fifty years ago the
town OF AL ,rlcon, Scotland. was throwr
into considerable excitement hy the
cominy in rightDf whale vessel which
had long been Given up as lost. A
crowdf soon collected on the pier.
Among the rest wus AN old woman who
particularly arrested my attention.
She was neatly dressed in linsey-wool-
sey, with u whiLe Golf drawn close
around her head, aud a short red cloak
around her Shoulders She stood upon
the very edge OF the quay, and leaned
with both hand, upon her staff and
gazed with outstietched neck toward the
ships but it was with look of strange
vacancy. ' They were shouting around
her, and naming tho names of those
that seemed coming back from the dead
but that old woman withdrew not for
moment her gaze from the approach
ing vessel.
As she came near there was death
like silence for time, while hundreds
OF eyes were scanning the deck for
loveAQr friSnd. and then there wore
burstings out and tremulous cries OF
gladness, and shricks, and Paintings,
and QTerfull hearts that made strong
men like children--but that old woman
partook not Of the emotions Of the crowd,
but seemed as il standing far away and
looking upon something that turned
her to stone.
The vessel at length reached the land
and the sailors leapeI on shore into the
embrace Of their friends and relatives.
Every one was striving who should first
congratulate them upon their safe
return. aeais q TGfo}ms etW oid Woman
spoke not. She seemed utterly uncon-
scious OF what was passing around her
took no notice of any one-but forced
herself through tho crowd with
strength which seemed incredible for
her age and frailty, until che got upon
the deck of the vessel, and then, looking
around'her for u moment, she saw
black chest lying near its stern. She
went up to it and sat quietly down upon
it, and said, ~ loY, stiqed voice, 81
kent i'll kent it, and then laid her
hand upon her staff and repeated, 81
kent it,"
An orphan boy, and her only grand
son, chad gone to sea in that ship against
her will. She was u believer in dreams,
and had dreamed tho same dream
several times, before and after his de-
parture, and she hsd interoreted it us
the certain sign and forelunner OF his
death.
He died on tho way homo, and the
body was in That vory Ghost on which
she had insinctigely sat down. The
sailors shortly came to her and respect
fully lifted the chest-for they loved the
ledmapd bore it .awav. and the, old
questions, and they offered no expIana-
items.
The crowd fell back till the. chest and
the chief mourner passed through. II
was moving sight to see that old
woman following tue corpse, and look.
ing neither to the right nor to the left,
but occasionally whispering to herself,
81 kent it," and'to SEQ the composed
crowd coming up behind, which but
few moments before was agitated with
tumultuous Joy.

A.process has been discovered by
which the finest and most delic-

seed to the extent OF one half its
own weight, and leave the other
half a valuable food for beef aud
milk. The average yield per
acre is three hundred, and in a
number of instances, five hun.
dred bushels, or thirty thousand
pounds, have been secured. Nor
does 1t exhaust the soil as Indian

he should judge that cattle driY-

the loss would be very heavy be-
fore spring. The article further
stated that il would be q good
idea for stock men to drive their
herds into that county to feed the
balance OF the season. While il
Is true that grass was very POOR
this season, still the weather has
been so very mild that stock has
not suffered much as et,and if we
have no bad storms from this ON
the mortality will be light. How.

The Balance Of Trade The Southern
Situation.

There has been marked change in
the foreign trade of this country for
the present year from that of last year
and several years preceding. The bal
ance of trade is against the United
States this year, which is the reverse of
what it was last year. The Treasury
Department statistics show that the
excess OF imports over exports for the
month Of April last was IS. est, 522,
whereas for that month of 1881 there
was an excess Of exports of 81, 706 900.
In the first three months of this year
our exports and imports about balanced,
so that the total excess of imports for
the first four months of the year was
IS, 934,874. The figures for the same
period of last year tell very different
tale They show that for January
February, March and April our exports
exceeded our imports by the large sum
of $84, 1884, 900. As was to have been
expected, this great change in the COM
mercial situation has established heavy
drain upon our stock of the precious
metals. Our exports of grain for the
past ten months are less than for the
previous ten months by $50, 600, 600.
The decrease in the exports of cotton
during the same time was s42, 900, 900,
as compared with the corresponding
ten months of last year.
The drain of coin is measurably Offset
by the sums brought into the country
by immigration. The reports do not
give promise Of abundant grain crops in
the North the present season; and it is
evident that the cotton crop will be
shorter the present season than the last.
Therefore there is no hope of a reversal
of the condition Of foreign trade above
described In the South, the depression
will be little felt as she did not share
the exhileration of the prosperous times
that were enjoyed by the more favored
sections. She had not been lifted out OF
the slough into which she was left by
the war. She is gradually recuperating
however, and with the inviting prospects
she holds out to railroad and manufac-
turing enterprises in which she is en-
joying boom, and with mixed farming,
she will rise superior to her misfortunes
and become selfsustaining and prosper

Worthy of Note.

The colored people who went away
from the South to Kansas are evidently
disappointed and having a hard time.
They have sent a petition to Congress,
which is numerously Endorsed by the
white people of Kansas, for a large
territory to be set apart for the exclusive
occupancy of their race. They earnestly
ask to be furnished with land, houses
to live in, rations, seeds, cooking stoves,
implements and all the necessary appli-
ances for comfortable iving-all at the
expense of the government, or the tax
payers who supply its treasury. Their
petition is borne to Washington by
ladies who have become warmly enlisted
in the scheme for their removal from
that State to which they were so loudly
invited. The invitation was unfortu-
nately accepted in too many instances;
and the consequences may be well
imagined from the efforts which both
are making to be separated again. 1t
is represented that many of the blacks
are in state of utter restitution, and
that their condition is getting to be
more and more desperate, and will be
utterly so, unless the government comes
to their aid
