OUR local columns contain letter Of Col
lector Dow TO Surveyor Pullen and a state
ment by the Surveyor which will tend to
allay any anxiety caused by the news that
cargoes of rags, presumably infected with
cholera germs are on the way to this city.
The officers of the Treasury Department.,
from the Secretary down, show commend
able purpose to take prompt action with ref
erencs to the peril and to do whatever
may be done to protect the country from
the plague which is scourging Egypt. The
Collector directs the Surveyor to notify the
health officer of the city of the arrival of any
dangerous cargo and not to allow the vessel
containing it to come to any wharf or land
ing place within the city until that officer
shall certify that the ship can discharge her
cargo without danger. 1t remains now for
the municipal authorities to be in readiness
to do their part of the work with intelligence
and energy. The first care, OF course, must
be for the public health and the next must
be that no more than necessary inconven-
fence is caused to trade.

The Heavens in August.

Neptune is morning star, and makes his
appearance first on the roll. Five planets
play the part of morning stars during the
month. They rise in the following order:
Neptune, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter and Venus,
while they retain this order of precedence
until August closes. If Neptune were near
enough he would now be seen rising in the
northeast about half past II o'clock in the
evening. Saturn follows half an hour after
midnight. Mars is only twenty minutes la
ter. Jupiter puts in an appearance about a
quarter after o'clock in the morning, and
Venus closes the list half hour later
Shorty after A O'Clock the planetary quar-
tette may be seen making their shining way
among the stars.
Mercury Is evening star during the month,
and presents but one feature of interest.
He Is in conjunction with Uranus on the
oath, at 10 O'Clock in the morning, being
nearly degree south. As both planets are
invisible, the event will have to be observed
in the minds eye. To those familiar with
the movements of the planets the pictures
visible TO the eye of fancy are not always
less enjoyable than those visible to the physi-

that neither clouds nor sunshine can hide
them from view. Mercury sets on the LIST
at half past O'clock in the evening" on the
31st he sets at Twenty-Five minutes past Z
o'clock. Uranus is evening star, and plods
on his way uninterrupted by anysevent ex-
cepting his meeting with Mercury Uranus
sets on the LIST about O'Clock in the even
ing; on the 3lst he sets at nine minutes alter
7 O'clock.
The planetary Kaleidoscope is not brilliant
in coloring, nor abundant in variety as the
August days roll on. But there is always
Interesting material to reward planetary
study, even the record is comparatively I'M
eventful. Those who rise in the small hours
TO behold the morning stars, note their devil

serve their near approach to the stars lying
in The pathway, will bear testimony to the
lovliness of the starry picture, admire the
many phases taken on by our brother and
sister planets, and be impressed with the
power and wisdom of the Great Architect of
Worlds who holds in place the planets and
the swarming myriads of shining suns by
the same universal law that rules the falling
rain drops and the mist of the waterfall. -

IT 10 reported that one of the Texas ranch
men, Col. King, has sold his ranch and the
cattle on it to company of Englishmen for
four million dollars. Thatsis considerable
price for farm and the stock ON it; but Tex
as ranches are immense tracts of land and
the stock is not numbered by scores put by
thousands. This business of cattle raising on
grand scale is one of recent development
in this country and has made many rich.
For long time we have been accustomed
to speak of the Mississippi Valley ss the
granary of the world, and now the world is
looking hitherward for its supply Of meat as
we'll as of grain. Much of the money that
has been invested in cattle raising has come
from abroad, that being variety of farming
which seems especially attractive to persons
of large fortune in the older countries. I'm
doubtedly they are able to hold the vast
tracts they purchase and they are interested
in improving the breed of cattle for market
purposes. The new methods of cnring meat
and preserving it make it comparatively un-
important where the slaughter-houses are
located. or at all events they make it unnec-
essary that they should be established in
close proximity to the consumers. The re-
frigsraior car and the hermetically-seae
tin can supply the miners in Colorado with
fresh Holsters and the people of Europe with
excellent Texas beef killed in Chicago.
There is not better feeding ground In the
world than the broad rolling plains on the
eastern side of the Rockies and in view of
what is now doing the biblical figure of the
cattle upon thousand hills loses something
Of its suggestion of infinite riches. The
Buffalo is nearly extinct; but in its place
are herds scarcely inferior in numbers
which are far more useful for sup
plying the wants OF mankind.

Watering Plants in sunsntne.

"NVGAu&9 = ASSAVS AsA ~s~e~HseAAeAOs
A widely accepted but very erroneous
belief, which is a cause OF much loss
during summer heats, is the fear that if
plants are watered while the sun shines
upon the leaves it will harm them.
There may be some tender young leaves
of certain delicate and rare plants that
would suffer from sudden wetting OF
cold water under blazing sun, but I
have not met with such in vegetable
culture, and have long practiced fre-
quent sprinkhng of newly set plants
their beginning to wilt. If allowed to
wilt at all it is difficult to revive them.
The short or broken roots want little
water until their wounds are healed and
they become able to collect and send on
supplies to the leaves. During this
term of trial what is wanted is frequent
sprinkling of the leaves to prevent their
tagging. A mere sprinkle serves that
purpose if often enough given, without
drowning the injured roots: Two great
advantages are gained by this frequent
leaf wetting-four or five times day in
hot, dry weather, during two or three
days after transplanting-one that the
planting can be done while the ground
is dry and pliable when it will not pack,
G.ad the other that the leaves can all be
left on the plant instead ofall being half
cut off, as is commonly done in planting
cabbage, celery, ETC., to reduce the
transpiratory surface until the roots re-
cover. Such cutting in is a great draw
back to the plant, and can only be justi-
fed when there is no other practical
way Of saving or continuing it's ife.-

Wild Animals at Sea.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The arrival of the Neckar set afloat
rumors of the coming of strange
and wonderful beasts. Near the
main hatch Of the steamer was q
huge box Of cusious construction.
1t was six feet wide and twelve feet high,
and the ends were open. The floor was
covered with straw and the sides were heav-
lily padded. The box was empty, and two
wide-eyed men were regarding il with sad
ness He was Of fourteen feet the height"
said one. The most superb that ever to
America on ship was brought" echoed the
of the eight giraffes taken on board at Bre-
man. It had been placed between decks
under the main hatch, so that the animal
could thrust his head up, his fourteen feet
of height extending nearly to the top of the
hatch. But the voyage of the Neckar, which
occupied fifteen days, was very rough, there
being only two days when the vessel was not
rolling violently. Tho giraffe was 80 shaken
by the motion of the ship that he died from
exhaustion the next day before reaching
port. Two of his smaller brethren also
gave up the ghost, leaving five. Between
decks some curious freight was found
among tho boxes plead near the main
hatch. There wac an opening in the end
: of one box, perhaps five feet high, at which
the muZzle of an Indian white buffalo ap-
peared. Opposite, in a finn cage, strongly
fastened down was white lama. The hue
of its shaggy coat belied it's name, and the
animal wore sheepish and detected ex-
preston. From the darkness Of another
box rose the white neck of an ostrich. The
attendant seized it's bill and the huge bird
struggled to its feet, revealing body COW

mate. The most remarkable fowls were
two rhinocerous birds, of horn birds. An
attendant removed q slat in q rough wooden
cage standing in the corner and shook bis
hat in the opening. There instantly darted
out sharp-pointed horny bill of an i'm
nense length, which seized the hat. This
was attached to black body with long legs.
Then the keeper unlocked a door on the
port side Of the vossel and pungent am
meniacal smell became noticeable. Here
were five giraffes. They playfully gathered
about the visitors and nibbled at their
clothing.
mo, they were not seasick," said the
keeper. "But," he continued, that is
what they do all day long, till they get tired
they rock as the ship rolls-but two got
thrown down once" In a pen next to the
giraffes were three African zebras, dis
tinguished from ordinary cattle by their
wide branching and sharply pointed horns
and the large Jumps upon their backs.
These lay down in rough weather, but the
giraffes kept on their feet and knocked
their heads against the deck above Their
value is estimated at 81, 500 each, exclusive
of freight and duties. All these animals
came from Carl Hagenbeck, of Hamburg,
who is said to be the largest animal dealer
in the world. They are to be shipped to
Bridgeport at once"

We are now. as a nation, out OF bebt, we
are owners of our productive machinery,
and our surplus earnings are nearly It not
quite enough to meet all the demands for
additions to it. We pay in taxes to the
general government hundred millions OF
dollars a year more than the government
returns us to in it's expenditures; We are
building, mostly out of our own resources,
new railroads by the thousands Of miles;
the new buildings put up in New York city '
alone during the past year absorbed nearly
fifty millions Of dollars, and similar
building activity has prevailed more or less
all over; the deposits in our Savings banks
increase by tens if not hundreds OF millions

pay ten per cent. per annum for money on
bond and mortgage, are now either out OF
debt altogether. or borrow OF their neigh

English and French Women.

The French are very fond of deery-
ing the women of our country as a fiat
chested, long membered, large-footed
race, awkward in gait, addressed or
over-dressed, unlearned in the element
ary rules of that important matter, the
dressing of the hair ,and incapable of har-
monizing colors, SAYS writer in the
London Standard. These criticisms are
ill-natured and exaggerated, but never
theless good many grains of truth un-
derlie them. Take London and a
Partisan shopgirl as an example. The
former has generally the advantage over
the latter in clearness of complexion
and in colnliness, yet she loses by the
comparison. She is neither so becom-
ingly dressed nor so careful to suit tho
color Of her dress to her complexion,
nor SO neatly shod; and, above all, she
seems to be ignorant of the resources
an abundant head of hair affords her as
frame to an attractive youthful coun-
ion of cutting the hair short, which OBJ
tains no favor in France, prevails, I
observed with real regret, to consider
able extent in London, ard when the
scissors have not been rutblessy applied
to ma:culinize the female head
there seems to be a deplorable
want of taste displayed in the arrange
ment of their tresses by London girls.
Those I met out, those I saw behind
the counter, appeared to have peculiar
penchant for screwing their hair into
tight, ugly little knots, singularly un-
graceful-so I thought, at all events,
fresh from the sight of Partisan heads.
The appearance of the London nurse
maid also con:rasted uniavorably with
that of the French bonne. I do not re-
fer to the elite of the calling in either
country, but. to the ordinary middle
class nurse-girl or bonne, such as one
meets with in Kensington gardens or
in the Tuileries. Perha ps the tasty cap
worn by the latter, with its meter and a
half Of broad ribbon streamers behind,
gives her an advantages; perhaps she
holds herself better, or pays more at
tention to her general appearance.
Whatever may he the cause, the result
undoubtedly is that the eye rests with
more pleasure upon group of French
nurses gathered together with their
charges in public garden than upon a
similar group in London park. To
sum up my impression concerning Lon
don women Of the middle or lower clas-
ses, theyseemed, as Frenchman would
put it, vetues, not habjlles-clothed, Rot
dressed
