Inquiries at the Company's New York ONCE.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-There were many in
]uiries to-day at the offices of the agents OF
the lost steamer Cimbria after relatives sup
,osed to have been IN board. A woman q,
who did not give her name, called to ask
lbout a man named Compolir. She was told
he was among the saved.
A member of the firm of Robe Bros,
general provision merchants of this city
stated that they had a dispatch from Ham
burg, saying that their agent, Alfred Fol ght,
a first cabin passenger, was saved. Charles
Strauss also of this city, has a dispatch from
Darmstadt, in answer to his inquiry, stating
that Maurice Strauss did sail on the Cimbria.
Hirmann Graf, a shoemaker. of Brooklyn,
inquired for his sister-in-law. Caroline
Schuldt, aged fifty, who was on the lost
vessel with three children, on her way to
Buffalo. No information could be given
him.
Max Newman, also OF Brooklyn, inquired
for Clara BelIn, his sister-in-law, who had
been on a visit to Germany, and was ex-
pected to sail on the Cimbria. Nothing is
vet known about her.
Mrs. Irene Never, of this city. inquired
for Meta Meyer, her sister-in-law. She
believes the Martha Meyes, in the list
drowned, is her relative, but as it was learned
the latter would come from Bremen, it was
thought hardly likely she would sail from
Hamburg.
A sister-in-law of Oscar Elite called to
state that her brother expected to remain in
Germany until spring, and she thinks the
person reported as lost must have been an
other of the same name.
The following dispatch was received this
afternoon at the Office of the company:
"All the steamers sent out in search of the
Cimbria's boats have returned. They report
no trace of the survivors"

the toes, planta, and talus might be
felt distinct and tieshy, and the whole

Lady Kilsyth (widow of Viscount Dun

her infant son were exhumed and found
in the most extraordinary state of pres

Our correspondent who asks us to
give him advice as to the best breed for
the dairy, repeats a request which is
possible to comply with. As he of
course knows, there are distinctively
dairy breeds, and beyond this the selec-
ton of COWS for the dairy is a matter
that largely concerns the individual
animal. That is true, too, of even the
dairy breeds, but not to the extent that
it is with the other breeds. The dairy
breeds. such as the Jersey, are espe-
cially fitted for dairy purposes, and in
the dairy are profitable. But they are
of little value beyond that. Now, in
deciding whether or not we will pass
the question of beef. and keep an ami
NAL that is of little value when her
career as a mixer has ended, there are
some nice points to consider. Pound
for pound of butter, the Jersey is the
most valuable animal. Her butter will
bring more in the market than the but
ter of breeds that are not especially
adapted to the dairy; and her milk
is richer in butter fats than the milk
of these breeds. SO far, therefore, the
Jersey would seem to have the best OF
it. Her yield of milk is not so great as
that of some other breeds, but it is
probably true that she will average as
many pounds of butter as any COW.
And then again, she will accomplish
these results upon less quantity of
food than would be necessary for some
of the other breeds. In deciding
whether we will adopt the Jersey or the
Guernsey or the Attorney, therefore,
we must carefully calculate all these
advantages, and conclude whether they
are sufficient to make simple dairy
cow-one whose usefulness practically
ends when she ceases to give milk
more desirable than COW that con-
sumes more food and gives milk that
is less rich and profitable, but is valu-
able for the butchers block, when she
is no longer fit for the dairy. Some
thing, too, will depend upon the par
ticular direction which we are to give
to our efforts in the dairy. If the pro-
duction of a large quantity of milk is
intended-as in case of dairy selling
milk--the small dairy breeds are not
what we want. For such purpose there
is no better COW than the Holstein, and
there is no better cow if the manufac-
ture Of cheese is the object Western

We never enter dentists studio
without feeling uneasy. Not that we
have any teeth which we cannot easily
remove without his aid, but still we are
awe-struck in his presence. 1t appears
that our teeth have gone into com
mittee of the whole and move by pla-
toons; so we are not afraid of a sudden
and unexpected attack on any stray
glers, still we remember what time
we once had with the old, back number
teeth, and vince in sympathetic mem
DRY. The rooms of these artists in
bicuspids and molars are no places for
quiet and cosy little chats on the follies
of the day, or the lighter and more
frivolous topics of society.
The conscience of a dentist must be
something like that of a champion
butcher, who kills and strings up his
victim, ready-dressed for the market,
in three minutes by stop-watch, Chi
cago time. A thoroughly good dentist
should be man with nerves like chilled
steel, and heart like live-oak. Some of
the dentists with whom we are on speak
ing terms are oily fellows, with hands
soft as dudes Uranium, and seductive
voice like that of a drug clerk. He
will meet you at the door wrapped in a
winning smile and a spotted dressing
gown, and talk as soothingly as could
a Spectator in mining stocks, and he
will inveigle you into the high-backe ed
inquisitorial chair, and lie to YOU about
the pain, and root around your sore and
throbbing gums with his thumb-nail,
and all the time smiling like an OK
eyed violet. The next thing you know
trouble will commence. He will slip
on pair of highly-polished forceps;
there will be an uncomfortable desire on
your part to open wide your mouth and
howl. A short, decisive jerk, your
poor head will fall back on the chair.
and your mouth will be full of freshly
distilled blood; your eyes will be brim-
ming with tears, and a miscellaneous
variety of cuss words will be struggling
for utterance in your larnyx.

This rural tooth-carpenter used to per.

would lay his head on the floor and

man got alive to his family, who had
parted from him with sorrowful appre.

with congratulations, and fried chicken
and biscuits that he was unable to eat.
