Tho Risks n Jockey Runs.

Ike Murphy, the jockey, who in the esti-
nation Of those who have won money on
his mounts is bigger man than old ANY
body" is generally regarded as very
fortunate individual indeed. Lucky Bald
will is to give him $4,000 next year, and
in addition to that comfortable sum,
which is almost equal to the average in
come of newspaper reporter, he can sell
his services to any other horseman when
they are not needed by Mr.. Baldwin. No
doubt his regular income will be at least
$1,000 for every thirty days in the year,
and to this amount may Ge added the
winnings he is sure to earn through his
command of reliable "tips." But there is
another side TO the picture that is not so
rosy.
In addition TO the constant perils of the
race course and the liability to accident,
Murphy is bartering ten to n dozen years
of his life for the princely income he is re-
ceiving. In order to ride he is obliged to
keep his weight at least twenty-five
pounds below what he would now register
if in n normal and healthy condition. In
order to keep himself in trim he is obliged
to subject himself to cXHausting swrats
and deny himself much that would con-
tribute to health and long life. Jockeys
are generally short lived if they continue
in the business much beyond the period Of

The Western ttle-Raising Industry.

Inc HSSteTu SsLIt1t-hdlSihS
The ipducement to engage in cattle-rais-
ing in this country several years ago was
so great, says The Chicago Times, that
eleven companies, with a capital Of SD,-
00n OOO were oroanized IN Great Britain
They now own 72,0lS head of cattle, and
lease or own 3319, orr acres Of grazing land
in the west. In 1853 one of these compa-
MES paid dividends amounting to 201s per
cent, but for two years past they have
paid only 10 per cent. The rate of return
is now very low, and the whole business
seems to have suffered Il serious deteriora-
ton. Oh nine of these British-Amer!can
companies in 1885, one paid 7 per cent,
one 6, two s. one 4, and four paid nothing
at ALL Last year there were nearly So
600, 600 head of cattle in the country, and
of these British companies owned only
672,O13, as noted above. The reasons for
decline in profits is part due to the action
of +po ->reeidnnt who oh1irpd n,"nara to
vacate public lands and pay for their
grass Besides, in the year 1885 the yield
of calves was behind that Of the year be-
fore The chief reason for the decline in
dividends is the smaller selling price Of
steers, the falling OF reaching in some
cases $500 head. The immense profits

OLDEN TIME CHIMNEY SWEEPING.
How It Was Carried on Forty Years
Aco-Talk With q Sweep.

"Chimney sweeps long since found their
occupations gone," said a dealer in fur
naces, who makes a specially Of the clean
ing of moderized chimneys, to reporter.
cover forty years ago the trade Of Chin
ney sweep was good paying one Atthat
time nothing but soft coal and wood was
hurred The chimreyS were then made
large ei.ough TO allow the passage OF &
mans body. But few chimneys are now
made over two feet square. ChllnneEs are
now cleaned by the means Of huge brushes
which reach from Kitchen to roof. Many
tenants believe they suffer from smoke
caused by defective tlueS, when the real
cause is clogged chimney. Hard coal
makes little else than dust, but 1t chin
ney is uncleaned for many years the accll-
mulated dust drops down and interferes
with the burning of the fire. Prices PAID
for cleaning chimneys are much smaller
than in former years. Formerly - was
charged Now the work is done for half
that sum-"
Chimney sweeping forty years ago was
monopolized by the colored people, who
made it fine art. The manner in which
chimney sweep heralded his approach
was novel. Sometimes, if the block was
short, he would commence to sing in low
tone which increased with every step, and
when the end of the block was reached he
would break out in volume OF sound.

The reporter called on an aged colored
man recently, who many years ago car
ried on the trade of chimney sweep i'll this
city. He has changed his occupation to
that Of whitewashing. lie said:
Chimney sweeping is played out.
When l started in the business nearly
fifty years ago q good sweep could make
$40 and SIS day. The kind Of fuel used
nowadays and the size OF the chimneys
has ruined the business. Before the use
of hard coal became general chlmneys
were so arranged that they might be cas-
lily cleaned. Steps We're made upon

"Live" Ivory Differs from "Decd."

4That knife handle is worth twice as
much as the other" said m ivory dcnler
to reporter rs he pointed out two hard
some knives in case. They looked eX-
uctly alike, so the reporter asked i'll what
the difference lay.
"Well, one handle is formed Of live ivory
and the other of dead" replied the mcr-
chant. "By live ivory mean ivory taken
from an animal recently killed. That sort
of ivory is expensive, because it is hard to
get tits strong, because there is life i'll
it, and it is used for the handles of the
best knives, and where dead ivory could
not be used. When an elephant loses n
tusk that tusk becomes what we call dead
ivory. He sheds the tusk, and it has 70
strength in it. It is brittle and breaks
easily, and can only be used for the
handles of pocket knives, or in other
forms where the ends are protected. If
they were not, the ivory would split and
crack in q very short time. The ivory
taken from the tusks of the antedi!uvinn
mammoths buried in the soil Of Siberia is,
of course, all dead ivory. Its Uses are
therefore, limited. If you ever want
to buy any ivory goods, be sure to ascer-
tain ,,'ho,hcr i Is l:--c :. dead !TorJ- b.
fore purchasing. If the former it IS
strong and durable; if the latter, it is brit
tie and liable to crack, even where fast
ened.
'The same rule npplies to the horn
Deerhorn and buckhorn, so commonly
used, especially in the handles of pocket
knives, is much Of It made from the horns
shed by the deer, and of little value. The
live horn is more eXpensive.-New York

GENERAL NERTON'S DEPUTY

The determination Of Mayor Grace to appoint
General Newton Commissioner OF Pubic orks
had not been known an hour before the halls
and the factions OF the demoralized city Democ-
racy began to clamor for recognition" The
Tammany men evidently felt that they labored
under disadvantages. The County Democracy
on the other hand cried aloud for Joy 1t
never occurred to these ravenOus plaoe-grao-
bers to consider who General Newton was.
The fact that Mayor Grace, who had taken per
sonal charge of the fallen and disgraced County
Democracy, hod appointed him. was sufficient
assurance to Ammany that it could look for
no sign of favor and that the gates OF patron
age were to be at once thrown open to It's hated
rival.
Tbe place first TO be decided upon. as its
occupant might be expected to eAcrclse large
control over minor appointments. was that OF
Deputy Commissioner. The unsophls'icatcd
world at large, ignorant OF the way iot o!
sclf-ralscd bosses arccl out Offices OF trust ana
responsibility among those on whom they Can
| "rcly," might suppose that GcncIH Newton
would have his own choice for an Office which
was really that Of personal representative.
But the impudcnt bosses in their plans do not
seem TO have thought that such man as Ocn-
crll Newt( WIS In existence. IL mas always
leon their pro, zee TO settle matters OF this
kind without regard TO the preferences Of the
Commissioner, and the General was scarcely
well on his way to Washington before they had
exercised their high prcrogativc and had an
nounced that d. Lowber Smith was 10 be
appointed.
Mr. Smith has figured prominently in the
Squire hearing as a violent friend of the Mayor
and a vigorous hater of Squire. He had been
Souirc's first deputy, retained at the command
of Hubert O. Thompson. lie appears 10 have
sustained TO Thompson relation similar to
that held by Ivins toward Grace. When Squire
concluded to rebel against Thompson he found
that Smith was a dangerous person to have
around He testified that Smith was unfalthful
TO him and was quietly conveying his plans
and doings to the enemy. Without more ado
he decapitatcd Smith and chose more loyal
| adherent
This is the man, a party to one side OF all
these odious affairs whom the County Democ-
racy has selected to he General NewtOn's
deputy, without saying so much as BY your
leave" When questioned as to their reasons
for supposng that the new Commissioner will
follow their pleasure in the choice of his repre-
sentative, they return the confident answer
that "Smih is satisfactory to the Mayor"
We prefer to believe that this consideration
will have slight influence with General New
ton. Mayor Grace has won the praise of the
public by his appointment OF Squires success
| sor and he must content himself with that
unusual reward He cannot appoint men like
! General Newton and expect 10 run them as
his dummies.

RUSSIAN DISSIM ULATION.

Russia having been unsuccessful in the coup
d. ctat claims the entire credit for the counter
revolution. Nj. dc Giers in one OF the himslest
and most disingenuOus circulars ever issued
by diplomatist of high rank. expresses dis
approval of the deposition Of Prince Alexander
and assumes full responsibility for the over
throw of tho Prov 'sonal Government. The
collapse Of the conspiracy he ascribcs to the
influence Of Russian agents acting under III
structions from st. Petersburg. They were
ordered to secure a reversal of what ZankoH
had accomplished, and they prevailed upon the
Bulgarians TO recall Prince Alexander. Indeed,
if NJ. dc Gicrs is to bc believed. the ties be-
tween Russia and the Balkan State have been
drawn closer and rendered lndssoubc by the
events Of the last week. The Bulgarians in
plotting against the Prince manifested their
gratitude to Russia. The Bugarians in over
throwing the conspirators and recalling the
Prince have also attcstcd their deep devotion
10 Russia. So harmonious arc the present re-
ations Of the Northern Power and the State
which it liberated that NJ. dc Glcrs is confident
that Prince Alexander will renew his act of
ab1ication and enable them to form that ell
during alliance to which his presence on the
throne has been an nsuperable obstacle.
No state paper cqualling this circular in
discrimination and audacity has been published
in this generation. The Zankof conspiracy
was palpably Russian intrigue and the I'M
pcral Government expected 10 profit by il.
The Princes regiment was bribcd 10y lavish
use Of Russian gold the sovereign was kid
mapped, placed on board yacht and carried
TO the nearest Russian port and the conspir-
ators In forming the Provisional Government
acknowledged that they were acting in the
interest Of Russia. When these facts are
CLOSED over as immaterial and misleading,
| and the counter-revoluton is represented as
a triumph of Russian influence. diplomacy is
brought down TO the level Of opera bouffc.
NJ. de Gicrs shows his contempt for European
opinion by regaling it with such farrago of
mpudencc and false prctcnces.
The only serious sentence in this prcpOstcr-
GUS circular is that in which q personal appeal
is made 10 the German Chancellor TO exert his
powerful influence in favor Of definite and
permanent settlement Of the Bulgarian oucs-
ton. NJ. dc Giers refers 10 the necessity OF
restoring in fair and just manner the balance
between conflicting interests in the Balkan.
This is plea which is likely to cUncllate the
diplomatic arbiter Of Europe. Prince Bis
marck has radrmed in recent years tho old
idea OF the balance OF power. He created an
Austrian Bosnia as q cOunterpoise to q Russian
bulgaria and Ly cordially supporting the Eng
lish policy Of aggression in Egypt aided in dis
tributing tho European forces in the Eastern
world. The rcodjustment Of dynasio author
