What He Found.

There is in this wonderful city, writes a New York correspondent. no end of the way by which men make money. Going home at o'clock the other morning found a man following the street-car track and the gutters with dark lantern. He was patiently work ing from one side of the street to the other, casting the light over every inch of the pave ment. I was curious and questioned him. Said he: s'I make fair living by finding things in the street. l pick up the things that have been dropped since nightfall, and you would be astonished to know what a variety of things they are. This street is one of the arteries of the town. Thousands of persons are getting and off these cars, crowding and pushing and upsetting their pockets. What have l found! Money mostly; cents and nickels and silver pieces. It is astonishing how many coins are dropped. have picked up as much as $7 of single morning. I find every article that persons carry in their rpockets-watches, knives, keys and trinkets. have picked up hand-satchels, fishing rods, revolvers, bun dies containing store purchases, whips, horse shoes-everyth ything that people carry. They all have value. When can find an owner for them restore them to him. I start out about midnight and search until daybreak. Here is pair of opera glasses picked up an hour ago. They are very fine, and it looks as though they would pawn for S8; that's a good nights work alone. Some nights find very little, but not often. Last night I found a box of sardines and pair of baby's shoes. But must be moving on."

Field Sports in Austria.


 The partridge season opened in August, but the coveys were so thin and the young birds so backward that there was little shooting till September. flares have turn ed out better than was expected, though nothing like their usual size. A bad game season in this country plies something more than poor sport and high prices at the game market.
 Game is an important source of revenue for all land owners. The average number of red deer shot annually in Austria is 5000; roe deer, 37, ,000; chamois, I, 800; wild boar, 2,4OO; bear. 30; capercailzie, 3,200; pheas- ants, 76, 900; hare, 1000; rabbits, only 30, ,000 foxes (shot or poisoned), 22, 900; quail, S0 900; woodcocks Comparatively carce) 26,O0O; snipe, 13,000; wild goose, 1000 wild duck, 10000. The average value of the game shot in Austria per annum is about LOGO, 900 fo1ins. This does not include Hungary, where game is also abundant, but not as well preserved as in Austria.
 All the different water fowl of Central Europe are plentiful on some of the Hungarian lakes There are, however, few amateurs Of that kind of sport, the lakes being generally situated in a country that is not easy of access, and where there is no sort of Accommodation. There is a splendid field in Hungary for Eng lishmen in search of unfrequented sporting regions, provided they do not mind roughing

 The Secretary of State greatly desires the reorganization of the consular service. The bill for that purpose now pending in the house provides that certain consulates where the fees exceed certain sum shall become salaried offices and the fees shall be turned into the treasury. While this is regarded as an important reform, it is not thought near ly as important as the new recommendation repeating the law allowing consuls whose sal ary does not exceed $1 GOO per, annum to en- gage in trade. It has been ascertained that this class of consuls subvert their offices for the purposes of gain. It is proposed to increase their pay to $500 or 5000, according to their inn portance, and prohibit their engaging in commercial transactions of any kind. This is new legislation and of course cannot, un- der the rule, be incorporated in the appro- priation bill Many of this class of consuls take advantage of their official position as dealers in ship stores, and thus have ad- vantage that consuls of the higher grades do not enjoy. Secretary Bayard thinks the in terest of the entire consular service would be promoted by making every consul paid officer of the government and abolishing the fee and trading system

It seems that the adulterators of food have been checked. From report recently made by the local government board of London it appears that in 1875, when public attention was first called to the subject, fully one half of the samples analysed were adulterated. Last year only 132 per cent. of those exam ined were thus tempered with. Liquors show the highest percentage of adulterations (23.1 per cent.); butter comes next with 1S.S per cent; and then, in order, coffee, mus tard and milk. Beer and confectionery, contrary to general belief, were found to be almost free from adulteration and none were reported among the samples of flour, sugar, pickles, timed vegetables, jam and wine ex- amined.
