 The cattle business of the coun. try has had 8 wonderful growth in the past twenty years. Ac> eording to Rufus Hatch, who certainly ought know, there is $100, 900, 900 In cattle to- day. where twenty years ago the amount SO invested did not exceed $1,OOO,- GOO. Uncle Rufus is also respon- slble for the statement that "beef Is destined to constantly diminish in price," but he has not set the time for the commencement of the era of low values. On the Pacific coast, where "horn steaks" and "prime neck cuts" are bit pound all through the year, the impression prevails that the season is overdue.
 The Gardner Reporter puts it thusly: eve like to see a man refuse to take hone-paper and all the time sponge on his neigh> bors for the reading of it. We like to hear a man complain when asked to subscribe for his home paper, that he takes more papers than he reads now, and then go around and borrow his neighbours, or loaf around until he gets all the news from it. We like to see a man run down his home-paper as not worth taking, and every now and then beg the editor for 8 favor in the editorial line. We like to see merchant neglect to advertise in his home>paper, and then try to get a share of the trade the newspaper brings into town. We like to see this; it looks economical, thrifty, pros gressive and-cheeky."

Fifty of these miners inches are equal to discharge of one cubic foot of water per second, and is less by .s12 of @ cubic foot than the Nevada, (Cal.,) county miners inch. The generally ac> cepted inch of water is that which is equal to 17,000 gallons of water every 24 hours, or about 100 pounds per minute; and this amount will flow through every square inch of opening in gauge under a pressure of six inches above the center of the opening.
 The following sensible remarks are not original with us. They were taken from one of our Terri torial papers, which vne, we have forgotten: "The reported nego> fiatfon between Mexico and the United States for sometime, of the Mexican States lying along side of our border, has no founda- tion in fact. The United States has all the territory it can govern and Mexico has none for sale. Sometime in the future the Mexi- can States adjoining us may be- come desirable acquisition, and circumstances of a business char acter may force us to purchase or otherwise acquire them, but it is premature to talk about it now. We have a great big country now, with interest as diverse as cur climates, and when we get well harmonized and our laws respect ed and hindjnp unon all. if will
