Some of the state papers are calling
attention to the traffic that is being
carried on in some of towns i'll this
state in what is known as "Bob Veal
What "Bob Veal" is may he gathered
from the following section of the re-
viscd laws: "A person who kills or
causes to bc killed, with intent to sell
the meat thereof for family use, calf
less than four weeks old, or knowingly
sells or has in his possession such meat
with intent to sell the same in the state
or to send the same for such use to any
foreign market, shall Toe punished by
imprisonment not more than six
hundred dollars" The Montpelier
Argus says Richmond is headquarters
for this article. Calf-buyers bring in
the tender youngling of all ages, from
twenty four hours to three days, which
are slaughtered 10y the hundred every
week, and shipped, most of them, to
the Boston market. Last year the
dressed bodies were wrapped in their
own hides, and shipped in that manner,
but this year they are cut into attract
i've and deceptive-looking pieces, as
wastes, outlets, etc, and packed in
barrels and boxes. The trade is as

Governor Waller was one of the
speakers at a st. Patrick's day celebra-
zion at Hartford. He frankly acknOwl-
edged his Irish nativity, and elected
great applause when he characterized
an informer a. the meanest of Irish
men. Waller is a brilliant fellow, but
his great failing is his unreliability. He
is quite a poll zeal trimmer, and in
some of his espousals he hits wide OF
the mark.

The telephone has been introduced
into Mexico, and is proving IA great
success. 4 contract has been made
between the governor of the state OF
Puebla and contractor for the estab-
lishment of telephone lines between
the state capital and the principal
towns of Puebla. On the table lands
it is IA great success, owing to the dry
ness and rarity of the atmosphere. A
line 40 miles long affords an alb
solutely perfect transmission of sound
In various parts of Mexico this modern
improvement is meeting with great
favor, and the papers in the city %

SELECT SIFTINGS.

Bees taken to Florida become lazy,
and make only as much honey as they
need from day to day.
The Mongols have no equivalent for
"goo l-bye," and bid farewell to each
other with bow and a smile.
Deaf mutes use great deal of slang,
learning it from the newspapers, of
which they are generally regular read
ers.
The word tennis is derived from the
old English plural of "ten," as the
name Elves" given to another game,
comes from the plural of five.
Attention has again been called to
the supposed changes of level of the
earths surface reported from certain
parts of Europe. Villages in the .Jura
which were hidden from each other no
longer than forty years ago have grad
ually risen in sight, while in village
of Bohemia the inhabitants now see
half of a distant church spire of which
only the top was visible thirty years
ago. The apparent rising of these
places must, it is thought, be result
of the warping of the solid crust of
the earth.
The Indians have great hatred and
contempt for Cinnamon, because they
are little and timid. Recently party
of thirty Celestials, under the direc-
ton of two white men, went out to
work on road in Idaho. The Indians
fell upon them and massacred the
white men, but contented themselves
by merely cutting off the queues of the
miniously home. Indians have too
great a contempt for them to kill
them; they think them not "foemen
worthy of their steel"
How long has man been on this

the answer is always unsatisfactory.
The remains of implements and ar

the top of the Allegheny Mountains,
in Perry county, Penn, piece of
metamorphic limestone, upon which
was clearly visible the print of the
right foot of human being. The i'm
preston is about an inch deep, and
shows the five toes and the perfectly
formed foot Of man. This piece OF
stone has been sent to the Smithsonian
institution. The rock is of great an

THE STAR o. THE MORN,

The star o. the morn is whitest,
The bosom of dawn is brightest
The dew is sown,
And the blossoms blown,
Wherein thou, my dear, delightest.
Hark, have risen before thee,
That the spell of the day be DER thee;
That the flush of my love
May fall from above,
And, mixed with the morn, adore thee.
Dark dreams must now forsabe thee,
And the bliss of thy being take thee.
Let the beauty of morn
In thine eyes be born,
And the thought of me awake thee.
Come forth to hear thy praises,
Which the wakening world upraises;
Let thy hair be spun
With the gold O. the sun,
And thy feet be kissed by daisies.

The great fault the Radical press nc

apportion the State into Congressional

on this line, but the Senate resists. The
Radical members of that body have
never yet manifested disposition to
pass pportionments such as is demand.

to the voters OF the Commonwealth.
Whichever bills they have framed have
been so devoid of all fairness and in

from within but from without that body.
