THE warden of Manitoba penitentiary,
near Winnipeg, has a fine herd Of by
bred cattle, crossed between the male
buffalo and the domestic cow. They are
very tame, taking no more notice of hui
man beings than ordinary cattle do.
They are not housed during the winter,
find their food under snow, and thrive
where other cattle would starve. The
beef is excellent, andyarn has been spun
from their hair.

AN hour day Is devoted by S. n. Sill

but one meal day, but no more at this
one than if he took the other two daily.
This he has kept up for five years, and
has in that time increased his weight
twenty-five pounds. His wife has had
perfect health for the past three years on
one meal a day. He says that fifteen or
twenty of his acquaintance have adopt

The anti-tobaoconists find a strong ar
gument in a curious fact that has just
been made public in relation to the
Gleely Arctic expedition. According to
Lieut. Greely's account Of the nineteen
men WHO persisted, all but one were
smokers, and that one was the last to
die. The seven survivors were non
smoking men. Perhaps when the tobac-
co ran out the smokers died from broken
hearfs-

Opening Of the ygorla,s Fair.

At Washington on December 10th there
was considerable deiav in the opening
exercises of the New Orleans Exposition.
A large crowd of distinguished people gath
cred atthe White House, and every arrange
ment was made for the President to open the
Exposition in appropriate style. The Presi-
dent took his station at the telegraph table
and remained standing there, surrounded by
his Cabinet, for over half an hour before
the signal that everything was IN readiness
was received by the telegraph operator.
The Marine band was present and had eZ-
hausted their programme Of National airs
for the occasion, and many had lett the
building. The signal was received at half
past O'Clock, and in a few moments the
address of President Richardson, of the
Exposition, was received, and was re-
spOaded to by President Arthur as follows:

A Robins Theft.

Two ladies at the house of Mr.. Wel,
come Alien, at Factory Point, YER
mont, wishing to bleach three pieces Of
lace, placed them out on the grass in
the front yard. The lace was lett out
all n ght. and on the following morning
only two Of the pieces could be seen.
BY nightfall only one piece remained.
Tie ladies talked the matter over that
evening. and decided TO keep watch the
next day. which they did, and in about
an hour the watcher caught the culprit
in the act. Sh4 saw robin fly down
from tree in the yard, pick up the
remaining bit of lace, and carry it
back with it among the branches.
Search then disclosed the nest, and
it was seen. that the missing pieces
of lace had been used in adding to
the comfort OF red breasts mate. The
last piese OF lace was yard and three
quarters long, and 1t was amusing TO
see the robin work it around and
weave it into the costly and coy
home. The ladies decided to let the
birds have the lace and brood OF
young robins was reared IN a cry styl-

The GoIors Of Horses.

The Arabs of Sahara are very partfc-
ular as to the color of their horses.
White is the color for Princes, but does
not stand heat. The black brings good
fortune, but fears rocky ground. The
chestnut is the most active. Ii one tells
YOU that he has seen horse fly in the
air, ask of what color it was; If he re-
plies chestnut" believe him. In .
combat against chestnut you must
have a chestnut. The bay is the hardi-
est and most sober. If one tells you q
horse has leaped to the bottom of a
precipice without hurting himself, ask
Of what color he was, and he replies
ssBay,n believe him. Ben Dyab, re-
nowned chief of the desert, happening
one day to be pursued by Saad-el-
Zenaty, turned to his son and asked:
s.What horses are in the front of the
enemyP'' white horses replied the
son. 1T is well; let US make for the
sunny side, and they will melt away
like butter. Some time afterNard
Ben Dyab again turned to his son and
said: What horses are in the front OF

his SON. ut is. we'll let us make for

to fear; they are the negroes OF the
Soudan, who can not walk with bare
feet upon the fiints" He changed his
course, and the black horses were
speedily distanced. A third time Ben
Dyab asked: "And now what horses
are in the front Of the edemy?" OZARK
chestnuts and dark bays '.In that
case, said Ben Dyab, strike out my
children, strike out, and give your
horses the heel, for these might per-
chance overtake US had we not given
barley to ours all the summer through. "

A Cathedral City.

To the casual visitor Milan is simply
cathedral, with an ordinary humdrum
manufacturing town surrounding it,. I
say surrounding it, because the cathe-
dral stands in the center of the town,
all tbs principal streets radiate from it,
all the tramWay and omnibus lines
start from it, and nearly all the places
OF amusement or diversion are in the
neighDorhood of it. Milan was doubt
less a considerable city before the Ro-
mans took it and dubbed it Medic
lanun. In the Middle Ages, when it
contained population of 800, 600, it was
destroyed by Frederick Barbarossa.
Here it was that afterwards the Yisconti
and the Sforzas reigned; here the Span.
iards held their court; here Austria
lorded it over Italy until 1848. Every
must be familiar with its wondrous
cathedral and its 100 Gothic turrets and
1900 marbles statues; everybody must
know that next to st. Peters and the
cathedral of Seville this is the largest
church in Europe. But what of thatp
Mount the narrow stone staircase in
the wall and gain the top Of the dome
and what do you see? That the 100
turrets are maze of ginger bread elab
oratons, that the 1000 statues are a
wearisome parade of stonecutters' work,
despicable from the artistic point of
view, and worthless from the historical.
You are amazed by the incredible labor,
the vast expense, the enormous loss OF
time involved in this structure, whose
only use could have, been to amaze the
curious and awe the ignorant. When
you look from the dome over the luxu
RANT plains that surround Milan in eV.
cry direction you can scarcely resist
grooming when you reflect how many
millions of these acres must have con-
fributed year after year and century
after century to erect this vast pile of
curiously carved granite; how many
mEriads of peasants must have toiled
and expired in order that the 2, COO stat
ues should be born.
Every one of these mediocrities is in
stone and must have cost the lives of at
least ten human beings. And all for
whatg There are some pictures, and
statutes, and stones within; there are
some candles burning; there is aWoman
praying, whose voice would reach as
high from . palmer building; there is a
vender of photographs, begging guide
and a wretch who offers to "show you
around to the vile sink-holes Of Milan.
Methinks the 1000 statues, if they could,
would often smile at the folly Of the
men who made them and persisted in
order that they (the statues) might re-
main immortal. Yet they, too, in time,
must pass away. Already the winds
have blown the limbs off of many of
them: already others have lost their
noses in the rain; while others again
have dropped q toe or an ear upon the
unlucky pedestrian in the street below.
And long after they have been reduced
to the shapeless material from which
they were wrought will the fields which
they now turn their sightless eyes upon
continue fresh. and green, and pro-
ductive, and the trees wave their tall
tops in the air and the birds sing upon
their branches, as though no turreted
cathedral had ever reared its head
above them to mock the sky. Cor. San

CASSIDY SHELVED.

1t is good news that comes from Ne
vada, concerning the election. Until
last evening all the kilograms indicated
that while the sage brush State had
given its electoral.vote to the Republi-
can candidates, Cassidy, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress, had been
| elected. The intimation was that Cas-
sidy had been playing John Kelly's
game in Nevada, trading Democratic
votes for President for Republican votes
for himself. 1t is fact that majority
of the few citizens remaining in the
State are Republicans, and it is also a
fact that Mr.. Cassidy is less popular
there than he was four and two years
ago. The latest news from Virginia
City is a telegram from the Secretary of
the Republican State Committee, saying
Blaine's majority is 700. and WOODBURY.,
Republican candidate for Congress, has
been elected by 900 majority. The de-
feat of Democrat is ever matter for
regret, and is especially to be deplored
at this time, when the Democratic Ad-
ministration will need its hands
strengthened in the legislative branch
of the government, in order that it may
bring about as speedily as possible the
reforms that are so much needed in all
of the nation. But the
defeat Of George Washington Cassidy is
not a Democratic loss. He is less
Democrat than thatvile political trader,
Ben. Butler; his party is confined to
George Washington Cassidy, and his |
vote and actions are all selfish. If he
can help Mr.. Cassidy most by working
with the Republicans, he will |
be Republican. His Congressional
career proved him to be more Republi-
can than Democratic. Happily that
career has been cut short, and Mr.. |
Cassidy will retire to that insignifcance
among men for which he is so admirably
fitted by nature, instinct and education.
We know nothing of Woodburn, the
elect; however, it re-
quires no knowledge to convince one
acquainted with Cassidy, that Nevada
has made decided improvement in her
solitary Representative to Congress.

ARIZONA REPUBLICAN,.

The election news from Arizona is not
such as was expected. 1t appears from
the solitary bulletin received from our
southern neighbor, that Judge C. c.
Bean, the Republican candidate for
Delegate to Congress, has been elected.
His success must be as surprising to
Judge Bean as to people elsewhere
familiar with the politics and history of
Arizona. The Territory has been DEM
ocratic, and for many years has been
ably and faithfully represented in Con-
gress by Delegates of that political
faith. 1t occasioned some establishment
when the present Delegate, Hon. G. H.
Curry, failed of denomination. as he had
served the Territory well, and was de-
sirous of continuing at Washington.
However, he was defeated in the con-
vention, by Col. C. P. Head, a man
who not only enjoyed a reputation as
an old and progressive citizen of Ari
iona, but who was believed to be so
popular that his election was regarded
as foregone conclusion. In spite of
all this ne seems to have been slaugb-
tered, and the Territory made Republi-
can in the face of the national victory
for the Democracy. The causes which
have led to the defeat of Col. Head are
something with which the outside is not
