The most noticeable and at the same

announcement that the movement Of sta

better than i'll a corresponding period III
any preceding year This condition, de-
spite the serious drawback occasioncd by
the severe drouth in some portions of the

the state. Such conditions may be Il sur
prise to Gov. Carlisle and his political fol

A South American Cattle-ShOw.

A correspondent Of lie Temps,
writing from Buenos Ayres, gives an in
teresting description of cattle show
which was held there and which he says
was great success. The display of
machinery and implements was much
the same character as it would have
been ut a European show, but the live
stock sections were especially interest
ing, as there has been very large inn
portation of shorthorns from England
and Charolais from France in
the way of cattle, and of South
down from England and mer-
mos from France in the way of
sheep. The correspondent of lie Temps
says that one reason why the sale of
beef preserved by the freezing process
has not hitherto been such success as
might have been anticipated is that the
meat itself was of very inferior quality,
but this drawback will be removed when
the stock in question has been in the
country few years. So, too, with the
mutton, as sheep multiply very fast in
the Argentine Republic, the ewes
breeding twice in the year. There
were upward of 400 head of cattle and
as many sheep, while the show of horses
was very large one, including 100
stations. Many of these we're thor
oughbreds, the breeding Of which is
now carried on on very large scale,
there being as many as twelve racing
stables at Buenos Ayres itself, while
many large landowners go in for horse.
breeding upon large scale from pure
ly patriotic motives. The La Plata
horses, of which some specimens were
imported into France few years ago,
with view of employing them for the
army remount, though very docile and
tractable, are too slow and small for
that purpose, but it is thought that
when an infusion of European blood
has been effected these deficiencies will
be made good.

What is married but mismated
often marred? Nature plays many
high old quips and quirks. She wraps
gratitude and affection in the hide Of a
dog, and swaddles baseness and bru-
tally in broadcloth and fine linen. She
permits two-legged donkeys to bray in
onr Legislative halls and dine at our
Delmonicos, while their superiors in
every worthy quality and qualification
MUNICH coarse straw in thousand un-
chinked country stables. She builds
quadrupedal men and bipedal swine.
Eut all her oldest, maddest freaks are
tame and rational compared with the
wild whimises of love and marriage
Look where you will, what world
of tangles and insists. All jun
bled, lop sided, i'll assorted
and middlety fummixed. No in
congruity is too crazy, no vagary
too monstrous Eagles mate with moles,

Thumbs pine for she Goliaths. Sons
of Anak wed human humming- birds.
Mighty-brained heroes and statesmen
rave over little butterflies, puny wax
dolls, tady-faced pygmies; and women
who would grace court ally them
selves with counter-hoppers, numb
skulls and boobies. Kings bow down

uge in the arms of cooks and coach
men. Who ever heard of half-doZen

fellow gets the wrong woman, and no
woman gets the right fellow. And in all
lands and chimes, in every condition and
estate, theCupid-wounded, hymen-bound
gosling and goslingess have hard road
to travel to a paradise of squash--an
imaginary elysium, whose roses are too
often rue. To love is to be ecstatically
miserable. To court is to vibrate be-
tween the orthodox and the Japanese
hells-from O hell of fire to hell of
ice. To marry is to plunge head.ong
into both at once, and to take the
chances of looking forever like one
half of Carolina chariot team, which
usually consists of blind jack and
moody COW, or scrubby calf and a
knock-kneed jennet. Marriage has
been likened to flies on dining-room
window--all on the outside are butting
their heads against the glass to get in,
and all on the inside are butting their
heads against it to get out; and, go
which way it will, there is always pane
ahead of them. In view of all the
chances, the only wonder is that any
flies are foolish enough to want to get
in.-COL. Pat DOMAIN.

A Question OF Taste.

Granted the charm of rounded, dim

the women may exhibit them without
improperly, the line at which the
corsage should begin is indicated by
anatomy as we'll as instructive good
taste. But it is all conventional rule.
In the realm of King Mise the daugh-
tiers of the soil charged SO many yards
of cotton for donning decollete dress

of Broussa, unexpectedly surprised by
a male visitor without her yashmak,
will cover her face with her skirts, and
think no wrong that the gentleman
sees her knees. But we need not go so
far afield to show the conventionality
of the law which tolerates decollete
dresses. The belle of watering place
ballroom would blush rose red if in
taking her seat at the end of dance
she allowed three inches of silk stock
ings to be visible, yet she thinks moth
ing of showing her bare shoulders.
And next morning, when the bathing
hour comes, she will promenade with
serene Inconsistencies in the presence
of all the world and his wife in knee
breeches and short skirts; but if by any
mischance the button which fastens her
tunic at the throat falls off, she will fly
like Diana before Actaon to the refuge
of her clearinghouse to repair damages.
SO it seems decency and indecency are
matters of longitude and circumstance /;
at one hour the neck may be shown, at
another the legs; in one country the
knees, in another the face; but woe to
her who chooses the wrong time or the
wrong place for anatomical displays
