whom know anything about generally

curse are clerks. Some whom arc book

to expenses / can speak for myself

out of that I ana Obliged
to deduct 81 for o rent, - for board,
81 for washing say SO cents for shaving
this leaves me q balance of $3.50 out OF
which must come cigars, billiards, aud oc-
casional lemonade and the expenses at
tendant on the ususges in society. Oc.
~casionslly I manage to save somethaBg at
the end Of the week but this end n only
obtained by the sacrifice Of the above lux
uries. Well, suppose ! gave up all o. the
above indulgences and got married o
for do you suppose outside Of my own per.
scnal expenses the balance woold

in the world, no matter how he loved the
girl, should ever, in my opinion, marry her
unless he were capable OF supporting her
in the same position he took her from; and
she must have been poor indeed II SO
would furnish her and her husband with
the necessaries of life, according 10 q wo-
mans standpoint. Take the article OF

outlay would not fall short of sl00in value.
Now you know evening dresses and hats
must be provided, for the dear girl must
have a new hat every week or her heart
would be broken. AS it would be impos-
sible for any of US poor dudes" to provide
the girl OF our choice with articles OF this
description, our chances OF beoming Ben.
edicts are decidedly slim, the only outlet
being to look out for the exceptionally
scarce young lady who has "a plum OF her
own or to marry a young lady who has
been raised under entirely different cir.
cumstance. Even then We would have all
we coulG do 10 make both ends meet, which
only could be done by the closest economy.
You spoke of
OUR LACK or COURAGE
in allowing wealthy strangers to carry
away our Wheeling bellies, but | think
since you have heard one side of the ques-
ton you will sgree with me in saying that
il would be the height OF madness for any
one OF US to appropriate the maiden under
the present condition of our financial de-
~velopment."
The reporter after these lengthy inter
views pictures 10 himself how in the far
future, the present gay, dashing maidens
who at present are ornaments TO our So
ciety circles as cOngregated around their
freSides with the trio OF cats, and kindllng
that generally distinguish the spinster OF
uncertain charms from the rest OF woman
kind and reflected as he sped homeward,
will such things ever be?

The Fertilizer Law.
Nashville American. 70.


The law passed providing for an in
spection of all fertilizers sold OF mans
fractured in this State needs consid-
cradle light thrown upon it before the
Commissioner of Agriculture can
make any rules for inspecting iertiliz>
ers. The law requires that fertilizers
contain given amount of American
potash and phosphoric acid. This
shuts out all land plaster unless the
required percentage of these substan-
ces is poured into it or it can be sold
at ten dollars a ton. The price is now
about fourteen dollars a ton. Then,
there is not a very clever idea of what
is meant by American potash. If it
includes only potash manufactured
wholly in this country, it will add
considerably to the cost of the fertil~
izers, because the imported is the
cheapest, and just as good.
Other States require that fertilizers
should contain phosphoric acid,
potash and ammonia, but ammonia,
perhaps, was not thought TO be a nec-
essary ingredient in the soils or crops
of Tennessee. 1t was thought the
law should read ammonia, potash and
phosphoric acid instead Of American
potash and phosphoriC acid, but on
examination the enrolled copy was
found to read American" Until
what is meant by the bill can be as
certained, no rules for inspection can
be drawn up. The author of the bill
and the Attorney General have been
written TO about the matter.

Wealth in Cattle.
New York ShippinE List.

1t is estimated that the annual cats
tie sales in the United States amount
to about $300,000,000. This wealth
has been greatly increased by the large
augmentation of thoroughbred cattle.
The American Herd Book has been
extended to twenty three volumes.
These volumes are occupied with the
record and pedigree of 10000 COWS
and AZ 900 bulls, and all of one class,
viz: Durhams and ShOrthorns. The
best beef which finds its way to MARI
kets is that OF graded Durham cattle.
The Agricultural Review makes this
comment One not intimate with the
subject might suppose that with such
an array in number Of our shorthorns
the prices of them Wopld gradually
diminish at both the public and
private sales, now so frequent and in
such large numbers in our States.
Such, hsWeyer, is not the fact; aver
age sales are nov equal in prices at
which they have ever been. During
the last five years the public saleG
have annually averaged 5000 ami
mals--bglls, COWS and heifers-
at an average price of $l62 per
head, while probably an equal
number have been sold at private
4ales and ct somewhat higher prices
| Many of thea have sold for $1,000 and
even up to Sl0,0G0 each, 20 esteemed
| for pedigree and quality ave theg By
our enterprising breeders, Auct
higher prices, indeed, have been OBJ,
