American Animals at Hamburg.

There Is to be an international exhibition
Of domestic animals at Hamburg In July
next. The Government OF the United States
has been requested by tho Senate Of Ham,
burg to interest itself In this exposition, and
to participate therein. The request came
through the German Legation at Washing
ton to the Secretary OF State. who sent
translation Of it-prcsumably on the assump-
ton that Mr.. LoRINa could not read Ger
man-tO the Commissioner Of Agriculture.
This officer brought the matter to the atten-
ton Of the House Of Representatives, and q
mcnds tho project.
The committee afIlrms number OF propo-
sitions which nobody can deny. "The value
Of our animal products to our domestic con-
sumption and our foreign commerce is very
great" Doubtless this Is as true In Con-
gressional report ~ 1t would be In q school
reader. 1.-THE expectation Of live stock, dairy
products, animal food. and all the produc-
tions OF the pasture and the stall, has be-
come large and important" SO far as We
understand 1t, this Is also true.
From these examples 1t might be inferred
that the House Committee on Agriculture
was addicted to vague generalities. But 1t Is
capable OF better things. Here are some
more specific propositions:
"The American shorthorn, both pure bred and grade
stands foremost - bsefproducing animal In point Of
thrift and duality.
The American horse Of oil work. the product ofmany
foreign breeds and adapted climate and service 10
hardly excelled anywhere.
THE wool producing capacity Of our sheep has not
been surpassed.
1.-THE type Of swine bred for tho market In great num-
bsrs In the West and mssursd rapidly. 10 quite model
of perfection"
Indeed, there can be no doubt, the commit
tee assures us, that the domestic animals OF
our country can compare favorably with
those OF foreign countries"
Gratifying as this conclusion Is, 1t would
seem to render any representation Of the
United States at Hamburg quite useless to
American exhibitors, at least.

asserted. why 60 to Hamburg to show them

Mr.. GEORGE II. MOORE, the accomplished

In the same conversation with . reporter

since the Lenox Library was incorporated.

GIDEON J. TUCKER Is suitable man for
Quarantine Commissioner.

The poem printed few lines below origi-
nally appeared In the Chicago Tribune. 1t Is from
the graceful pom OF Mrs. H. T. e. WHITE. who was
horn q DRIsooLL. and probably ohristened
FRANCES. which name was corrupted into
the nickname Of FANNY. and 30 indiscrim-
inately used that Miss DRIsooLL herself f.
nally accepted the alteration to the extent Of
allowing herself to be known as FANNY DRIs-
COLL. Under this name she became one Of the
most conspicuous OF the modern poets Of the
West. and her poems were zealously sought for
by journals all over the land. The newspaper
that was lucky enough to obtain one. paid
her for 1t. and the others would COPY 1t. too
often without credit to the paper which had
paid for It. She wrote often for the Tribune.
but all attempts OF that journal to induce her
to confne her efforts to Its columns were futile.
At last . cunning scheme was concocted. and It
seems to have met with success. In the I'ib-
ane Office was q young man named WHITE. the
brilliant originator Of the GwENDoLINE MALAY
FEY romances. and he was commissioned. since
ell other inducements had failed. to 90 out and
attach Miss DRIsCoLL to tho Tribune stan
through the ties OF matrimony and thus the
horse reporter went and brought Miss DRIs-
COLL back to Chicago As Mrs. WHITE. The re-
suit ID that the Tribune publishes the nrst post

Shipbuilding in some OF IFS chief
Is a very different art
from what it was only a few years
ago. The substitution, first, of iron
for wood, and, second, steel for both
wood and iron, viii soon have effected
an entire revolution. Canada, next
after Maine, was the stronghold OF
wooden shipbuilding, but n feeling
bordering on CONSERVATION has been
caused In the Dominion by the an
nouncement that a firm who fO- many
years have been among the largest
owners Of sailing ships IL America,
building most of their vessels IL St.
John and vicinity, have Just closed a
contract In England for a sailing ship
of 1900 tons, to be built of iron.
Wooden shipbuilding IN Canada for
several years has been a declining IN
dustry and this last movement Is re-
garded as a presage OF its well nigh
final extinction. The so-called soft
wood" ships OF the Canadian PROV
inceS were the cheapest that could be
built, IT being possible to put ailOat
IN New Brunswick or Nova Scotia a
vessel OF this description fully equal
IN appearance to one built in Maine
and 1T cost of several dollars less
per ton. II. under such favoring con
ditions wood cannot compete with iron
or steel, Canada has but one alterna-
tive, If she would maintain her ship
yards, of seeking materials among
the products of the mine rather than
OF the forest. In this new departure
builders in the United States have al
ready got the start, and by long dis
tance. On the Delaware river, con
venient to- the iron and coal mines OF
Pennsylvania, no less than iifty-siX
vessels have been constructed during
the present year, five of them wholly
of steel. and the indications are still
more promising for the year 1884 1t
Is claimed that the progress made III
the Delaware yards since January 1st
Is equal to the entire business done
in the same establishment IN t.e
whole OF 1882.
