Mexican railways when the bonds and
stocks Of these roads were first put on the
market Is fading a little. The first mort
gage : per cent. bonds Of the Mexican
Central have dropped little below 81
cents on the dollar. 1t would be good
time for General Grant and Minister
Romero to tell what the matter Is.

Notwithstanding England is assisting
emigrants to this country, immigration
for the first six months of this year shows
a decrease as compared with the same
period last year For the six months
ending June 80, 1882, the number of i'm
migrants arriving in all the ports of the
United States was 442. 065. For the same
period this year the number was 321, S45,
or over 100. 600 less. The cause of the de-
crease is not explained. There isn't
anxiety enough with regard to the mat
ter. perhaps. to seek an explanation.

that this correspondent is so infatuated

Several weeks ago correspondents stated
that there were grave doubts that the
scOurge now devastating Egypt was
cholera. England and Germany have
sent physicians to Egypt to investigate
the character ofth plague and discover,
if possible. its cause. The physicians
sent BY England were from British India.
They have been long enough in Egypt to
make preliminary inquiry, and they do
not hesitate TO declare that the plagueis not
Asiatic cholera. 1t is TO be hoped that
this opinion is correct. If a scientific in
vestigatiOn sustains it the world will be
relieved Of a great burden Of apprehen-
sion. 1t is not improbable that the dis
ease is due to local causes. The Egyp-
tians are noted for their inattention TO
sanitary matters.
The Boston Post thinks Hon. William
:. Holman, of Indiana, ought to be very
happy man. 1t says: "Were it given TO
US to be President or to be the recipient
Of a half column Of double-leaded and
otherwise emphatic encOmiums in the
Sun. we should choose the latter without
a moments hesitation, thus getting long
way ahead Of the late II. Clay, OF Ken
lucky, for we should not only have the
consciousness Of being right, but the
satisfaction Of knowing that the great
public was put in possession of reliable
assurance to the same effect" If Mr..
Holman was given his choice, however,
he would probably choose to be President.
A week or so ago a man named Daniel
C.. Birdsall. called Judge Birdsall, had
published in the Hartford CoTdnt, Sena-
tor Hawley's paper, communication, in
which it was charged that Samuel j. Til
den and the New York SIN assisted
largely in defeating General Hancock in
1850. The Sun Monday prints dozen or
more affidavits of persons who were neigh
bors Of Birdsall, and who unite in saying
that he is a notorious liar. ''Judge" Bird
sail must feel like hiring somebody to kick
him until he can't stand. He has learned,
if he has sense, to keep his pretended
political secrets out Of the newspapers.

A Male Experiment in Tight Lacinq.
tFrom Demorest's Monthly.J

Men have said great deal against the
practice among women OF COMPRISING
their waists by busks and corsets, but
one man has lad the good sense to test
the practice upon himself before lectur-
ing women on It's evil results. Mr.. Rich
ard Proctor, the we'll known astronomer,
is very stout gentleman, and as his
corpulence increases with age, he thought
he would test the wearing of corsets, to
see if it would reduce his flesh. "When
the subject of corset wearing was under
discussion In the pages of the English
Mechanic, I was struck" he says, ''with
the apparent weight of evidence In favor
of tight lacing. / was Ia particular
struck by the evidence of some as to its
pulent. / also was disposed, as I am
still, to take an interest in scientific

which correspondents we're so enthusiast

thing for matter of four weeks. Then
I laughed at myself as hopeless idiot,
and determined to give up the attempt
to reduce by artificial means that super
abundance of fat on which only starva-
ton and much exercise, or the air of
America, has ever had any real reducing
influence. But was reckoning without
my host. AS the chinese lady suffers, |
am told, when her feet bindings are taken
off, and as the fat-headed baby howls

angry with myself to laugh. | would as

discomfort. At the end of about that
time I was my own man again.

A Good Story of a Horse.

The Brunswick (Me. Telegraph says:
We recently published story OF horse
whose rider was thrown and injured.
The intelligent animal took In the situa-
ton and trotted of, making such demon
STATIONS at the house that people fol-
lowed him and rescued the rider, who
was unable to help himself. MIR. Hugh
Mcclellan, of this town, informed Us that
the reading of the story brought to his
recollection an occurrence of his youth,
when living with his father In Gorham,
this state. The father one evening turned
the family horse into large pasture tos
feed during the night. In some way
(whetherfr from an I'M Jury was never known
the horse commenced TO bleed profusely
from the nose. TIE animal returned to
the bars which gave admission to the
pasture. These he broke down and
passed up to the farmhouse. Here he
beat upon the platform of one of the
doors until tue father was awakened and
went out to see what was the matter; he
found the horse still bleeding. Calling
the son (our informant), the two worked
over the horse until the bleeding was ar
rested, though he was so much reduced
as to be hardly able to stand. There was
quite pool of blood at the door, and
still larger pool was found in the morn
ing at the bars, where the horse had evil

cape from the pasture. And yet we are
told that animals don't reasoni

CarLYsIe on the American Settler.

In one OF Carlysle's letters to Emerson
there occurs burst of admiration over
Jonathan's imperial march across the
western continent that is quite in the
vein of Walt Whitman: How beautiful
to think of lean, tough Yankee settlers,
tough as gutta- percha, with most occult
unsubduable fire in their belly, stearing
over the western mountains, to annihi-
late the jungle, and bring bacon and
corn out oft for the prosperity of Adam.
The pigs ID about year eat up all the
rattlesnakes for miles around; a most
judicious function on the part of the
pigs. Behind the pigs comes Janathan
with his all-conquering ploughshare,-
glory to him too! On, if we were not a
set of can-riddden blockheads, there is
no myth of Athene or Herakles equal
to his fact. J."

OREGON.

The city of Portland, Ore, which ten
years ago had a population of less than
$4,000, has to-day nearly three times that
number. Washington Territory Is also
advancing with rapid strides. Thirty
years ago Puget Sounds first saw-mill
was built. To-day there are numerous
towns in which lumber saving is the
main industry. In 1881, It's, 900, 900 Gu
bic feet of lumber were exported. The
amount sawed in 1882 is estimated at
over 800, 100000 feet. The mills are
nearly all lighted by electricity, and are
the scene of ceaseless labor. Various
kindred forms of industry have arisen
out OF the abundance of timber, includ-
ing cooperage and shipbuilding. Among
recent settlers in this favored region are
some of the Russian Jewish immigrants,
and reports received from their settle
ments give good ground for believing IN
successful issue to their agricultural
experiments.

Mexican Tin.

The first ton of Mexican tin ever sent
to this country was recently received.
The metal is said to be bright, clear and
apparently of good texture. It came
from Durango. The ores of placer orr
gin are said to average 70 per cent. of
smeIted tin. Mr.. Henry Freeman, an
Australian tin engineer, has been for a
year or more exploring the region be-
tween Chihuahua and southwestern Du-
range III search of evidences of the tin
lodes and placers spoken of by the old
Spanish settlers, and has secured for ST.
Louis merchants and capitalists con-
siderable tract in the southwest quarter
of Durango believed to contain tin ore
in large quantities. The famous iron
mountain of Durango is in the northern
part of the district.

4 WASTED AFTERNOON IN SUTHERLAND,
ny EDMUND A. GossE.

Ali what an azure day'
Beneath the granite gray
The sulRy ferox lay
And waved fin;
Above his surly head
The amber river spread,
Shrunk in its summer bed,
Limpid and thin.
We heard the eddies lisp;
Deep in the heather crisp
We lay to watch Canisp
And Suilven blue;
Between their crags, behold,
A sheet of polished gold,
Where FURY drew told by fold
Her waters through.
Hopeless the gray fy's wiles!
Our dusky ferox smiles;
We have trudged for miles and miles
In vain, in vain;
Better the storm that fills
The thunder-colored rllis,
Better the shrouded hills
And drifts of rainl"
But t'Eoi ali, nor cried;
This lovely mountain-side,
In faintest purple dyed
ana gOIden gray,
VIII live in visions still
When nerves forget to thrill,
When hands have lost their skill
To pain and slayI"
But still he watched the sky
With discontinued eye.
For never a cloud was nigh,
Nor stormy flag;
Noon fell to afternoon,
TIL, like change of tune,
The delicate virgin moon
Slipped from the crag.
So, through that sleepy weather,
Our rods and we together
Lay on the springing heather.
Assuaged at last;
And now. through memory's haze,
Best of our fishing days
Seems just that cloudless blaze
With never cast.
