yearly. The goods they manufacture
are worth 1924, 900, 600, and the wages

Tom Green County, Texas, is the
size of Massachusetts. 1t has no towns,
yet its assessed valuation is 1000, 600,
with some 10000 sheep, the wool crop
reaching 100000 pounds last year;
some 100000 cattle, which are worth
S3,000,000, besides horses, mules, etc.
Several focks of sheep numbering
$4,000 to $4,000 are owned by single in

Ten years ago neither India, Aus
tralia nor the Argentine Republic had
sent cargo of wheat to Europe. This
| year the amount of eXportable wheat
| from India is estimated at 100000
bushels, from Australia, at $4,000, 900,
and from the Argentine Republic, at
| 10000, 900 bushels, total of 5000, 600
bushels. In each of these countries the
opening up of the country by railroads
is stimulating wheat-production to a re-
markable extent.
Two remarkable cows are owned
by Mr.. John Mitchell, of Newburg, N.
Y. They are named Jamaica and
Ethelka, and about two months ago
the former produced a little more than
112 pounds, or about IS quarts of milk
in one day, while Ethelka gave 10l
pounds, and during 81 consecutive days
gave an average of Sc pounds. But
this, remarkable as it is, has been put
in the shade by their more recent per-
formances For III days, ending June
l, Jamaica yielded 1880 pounds, an
average of rs pounds daily, while
Ethelka gave Hob pounds, or over 81
pounds daily. They have to be MIXED
three times daily to prevent the milk
being wasted. N. Y. Tribune.

Take me to the dear old farm when the clover

Where the brightest CLEANS of sunset seemed

And hear the reapers voices, and the scythe-

The whistle of the meadow-lark, the bleating
The tuneless dronlng of the bees that rob the

The buzzing of the summer fly, and all the
Discordant sounds to Others ears, but now

More welcome than the dulcet notes of sweet

The New Pension Office.

The Government is erecting on Judic-
larry Square in Washington a large
structure for the exclusive use of the
Pension Office, for which Congress has
already appropriated $4,000 1t is
four hundred feet long and two hun
dred feet wide, the height being three
stories, with vast central sky-light
rising full story above the roof of the
third story and lighting the court. The
roof OF the inclosed court is supported
by two rows of enormous columns.
This court, with its triple colonnade on
all sides, promises to be the best archi-
tectural feature of the ediiice, which
from the exterior suggests a temporary
exhibition building, by the cheapness of
its material and decorations. The en-
tire structure is of brick, and the cor
nices and frieze are of terra Gotta. Be-
tween the first and second stories vel
low band, or frieze, three feet in height,
is carried entirely round the building,
and on this are represented scenes from
military and naval ife--infantry, artil-
lery and cavalry on the march, wounded
men, sailors in boats, etc. This much
at least can be said in praise of the fig
ures, that they are not the stereotyped
soldiers and sailors of the picture books,
but seem to have been designed by some
one who has seen actual warfare. They
are too small, however, to be effective.
The building is not yet far advanced,
but one or two things are clear: it will
have the beauty of usefulness, which is
lacking in so many of our public struc-
lures, and it will be a wide departure
from the classical ideas that long domi-
mated our Government architects. For
the purpose of providing large num-
Der of well-lighted and well-ventilated
office rooms, the plan seems an excel
lent one. The architect is General
Meigs. formerly Quartermaster-G eneral
of the army.-E. Y. SnsaIley, IN the Cen
! t,.ry.

John Bright in the House OF Commons,

The massive, well set head, the lofty
brow, the white hair, the clear blue eye,
as Saxon in its expression as the Ian
guage of the speaker, have Immediately
arrested the attention of all spectators.
Yet, in the House of Commons, the
visitor may have failed to recognize inn
mediately the voice and the presence of
its greatest orator. Slow. low and dis
tinct in his commencement, he has APP
peared to be suffering from nervous
hesitation which those who have never
heard him previously might doubt
whether he would succeed in overcom-
ing. But in five minutes all apprehen-
sions on this score have disappeared.
The popular chamber is crowded, for,
with the speed of electricity, the news
that bright is up has run the round Of
lobbles, library and smoking-room.
Never has there been associated in the
same speaker and in the same speech
merit SO sustained with excellence so
rare. Mr.. Bright has spoken, no doubt,
not infrequently below himself; but
when he has spoken at his hest, he has
been at his best throughout. His elo-
quence may be compared to the glow of
clear fire steadily burning at white
heat. There is nothing fitful or spas
modic about it. The solemn and the
sportivc are interviewer aS naturally as
the serious and comic scenes in one of
Shakespere's masterpieces. Mr. Bright
has probably coined as many concise
and adhesive phrases as Disraeh him
self 1t is ne who invented the words
fancy franchise, who first employed
''the cave of Adullam" rs metaphor for
the refuge of the disaifected. and who
compared the Adullamites themselves
to the Scotch terrier of which 1t was
difficult to say what portion formed
the head and what the tail. His humor
has always been of the quiet, cutting
and sarcastic style. He likened Mr..
Disrael to 1.-THE man who was not a
Cabinet Minister, but only a mounte-
bank, and who set up stall and offered
the country-people pills that were very
good against earthquakes. He hkened
Lord Derby's professions about reform
to ''the sort of feast that Spanish
host sets before his guest, consisting OF
q little meat and great deal OF table
cloth.n The remark of peer, when
Mr.. Bright was once absent from Par

dence, in punishment of the manner in
which he had abused his talents, had

meats, etc, that have been put up in tin
cans, is fact generally acknowledged but
the source of the poison seems 10 be mat

been reported of persons who had eaten of
canned provisions, that he had Investigated
not come from the lead in the alloy of the
spurious or base tin of which the cans are
made. The amount of lead that is taken
in solution by the acids is too inEnitesimal
to be injurious, and besides it is predpi-

from other causes or sources.
