Speaking of mountain-c climbing, the
London Spectator says: "Ihe Alps
being exhausted and CotopaXi sub
dued, the Alpine climbers are at last
turning their attention to the highest
mountains in the world, the English
Ilimalayas. The ascent of these peaks
was supposed to be nearly impossible,
partly from the want of food, water
and population, and partly from their
enormous hight, which reached to ae-
rial strata where it was supposed life
could not be maintained. Mr. Ora
ham, NJ. A. c., however, has started to
attempt Kinchinjinga with two Swiss
guides, and has found very lofty as.
cents not impossible. lie has not yet
assembled Kinchinjinga, but he stopped
only few feet short of the top of Dun
girl, at an altitude of 22,500 feet,
which he found quite endurable. This
is more than a mile higher than Mt.
Blanc or Pixies Peak. lie also
crossed peak, which he calls Mount
Monai, 22,326 feet, and another, Kang
La, 2O,3O0 feet. The coolies give great
trouble, as they dread the high sum-
mits, and will not put themselves on
rations, but custom and the establish
ment of q station or two will soon
overcome these difficulties. Competent
natives will soon take to the work, if
it pays, and if they are treated with a
consideration which Mr.. Graham in
his letter does not quite show. We
do not despair of recording before the
close of the next year that an English
man has scaled Mount Everest, the
highest point on the earth's surface,
and British property. He ought to be
presented with the summit for an es-
tate"

The depth of sleep has been the
novel subject of investigation by two
German physicians, working upon the
principle that the depth of sleep is pro-
pOrtional to the sound required to
awaken. Ingenious experiments
showed that with perfectly healthy
man, slumber during the first hour is
very light; after an hour and a quarter
the depth of sleep increases rapidly,
and reaches its maximum at one and
three quarter hours. The slumber
then lightens gradually, but reaction
into deeper sleep occurs after five and
a half hours of repose, after which
gradual awakening proceeds. lmper-
feet health or unusual eXertion pro-
duced marked irregularities.

"A large proportion of the diamonds
which have constituted the stock of
trade since 1870 have come from
South Africa, Brazil and Ceylon sup
ply limited quantities of extremely
fine stones. The South African yield
is not confined, according to general
impression, to medium and low grades.
The product of the Kimberly mines,
which one and quarter square miles,
with those of neighboring mines, are
worked by a number of companies with
an aggregate capital of $32,000,000,
controlled by London, French and
Dutch syndicates whose buyers are on
the spot, and whose prices at time,
greatly differ. They are always ready
to make advances when mines are
working at loss, or to place goods on
the market which they have not sue
ceeded in buying up, securing them
selves by broad margin on the sums
advanced. Fine qualities of diamonds,
those which are not off color, and in
other respects all but perfect, are get
ting scarcer, particularly blue-white.
The preference of the wealthy in Eu-
rope for fancy stones such as rubies,
sapphires emeralds, cats'-eyes-g give
signs of being followed in this coun-
try.

The Swedish firm of Nobel Brothers,
who have developed the Baku petro-
leum district of Russia, employ 1000
workmen, own a large fleet of steam
ers and 1,400 oil trucks. They are
building a town in which to lodge
their servants, and have adopted a
semi-co-operative system, giving every
one share in the profits, and allowing
all to invest their savings in the bust
ness. But the Pail Mall Gazette I'M
derStands that even their gigantic OPP
erations are likely to be thrown into
the shade by an American capitalist
who is about to lay pipe SCI miles
long, by which the oil will be conveyed
across the Caucasus, from Baku to Ba-
tum, on the Black Sea.

there has been a gradual increase in

professions has decreased in England
and Wales from e27l ,966,3l6 in 1876
to e230,077,00O in 1882 But since
1872 there has been an increase. The
total income from the trades and pro-
LESSONS in the Kingdom last year was
e267,402,OO0, against e2O2, 905,O00 in
1872. These figures, however, must
be taken in proportion to the number
of inhabitants, and in that case will
show a rapid increase in net income.

Branding Cattle.

The Clarardon (rexas) Ncws gives the
science Of branding in the following expo.
sition: The object OF branding is to pro.
duce another and different crop Of hair
where the irons touch, which may be clearly
from the other hair about it.
This is effectually done BY burning the
outer surface Of the skin. To burn deep
does not improve the brand in the least.
The iron should be heated to a dark cherry
red, and quickly applied, when thu. burn is
almost instantaneous, giving but an instan.
taneous sting, when the pain ceases, as has
been thousand times proven BY the actual
cautury ofthe human subject.
liza half heated iron is held on the skin
long time It cooks through the skin and
makes an ugly sore, which subsequently
gives great pain. It is true that there
Is great deal Of this kind Of inhuman
branding done. It is inhuman and injurious
to the hide Of the animal for purposes OF
leather. It Is also true that burn on the
outside cuticle will ultimately show through
the entire thickness Of the skin, owing to
the change that takes place in the skin IN
Of cicatrix on the surface.
Leather is tougher, firmer and more durable
where brands have been applied than where
they have not. In other words, the more
a side Of leather has been properly branded
the better It Is for wear.

Phillips has brother in Franklin, whom
she visited not long ago, and at whose house
she CHANGED to meet Mr.. Childers, her first
husband. They met as friends, but their
friendship quickly warmed, the love of
twenty years ago returned, and, though not
90 fervent as in the earlier dreams Of youth
It was not wanting in earnest devotion.
The second marriage to each other occurred
on Monday evening last, in the presence Of
their families, respectively and collectively.
The bride and groom, though sprinkled
with the silver Of time, seem happier for the
sorrows they have known.

Insulting An Agent.

Soon he was made a prisoner by the enemy
who kept him awhile in St. Louis and fin.

After sixteen months Of captivity he was
exchanged, and resumed his duties as a
Southern soldier, remaining In the army
until the close Of hostilities in 1865, when,
like adutiful husband and father, he re.

sad changes greeted him.
The husband had heen reported killed at

Brady was continued this morning The
defense called "a clerk named Kennedy
He swore he spoke to Brady. who was ac-
companied by Il girl, on Dominick street
between Band : O'Clock on the evening of
May 9th. He recognized Annie Meagher
who testified yesterday. She was with
Brady that evening, as the girl witness
said she also met Brady the following
day. The latter declared the murder
would ruin the cause of Ireland. Upon
conclusion of Kenncdy's testimony the
sdefence announced they would call no
other witness. Arguments by the coun-
sci for the defence and prosecution fol
lowed.
The judge finished his charge thirteen
minutes after three, when the jury retir

and returning to the court room, an
nounced that they found Brady guilty of
the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish

large quantities of American wheat was

been assumed by purchasers that continn-
Gus bad weather would cause rise. On
the contrary, there has been decline of

provinces, and number of failures are
probable.
A telegram from Hong Kong, dated
April II, says the French minister to
China had arranged the Tonquin affairs
satisfactorily in December, but now the
French minister has rejected the arrange
ment, the result will probably be long,
costly war for France. China will use
her best troops, and probably will be
by European leaders. and
perhaps will have assistance from Europ-
can allies
