The Body OF King Ludwig Lying in

MUNICH, June l6.
The Pope has telegraphed an expression of
coincidence to Prince Luitpold, regent of
bavaria, upon the death of King Ludwig.
The body of King Ludwig was placed in
state in the old chapel of Residenzichloss
this morning and the public were admitted to
view the remains. The crowds winch came
to have last look at the dead king were
enormous and beyond the capacity of the
authorities to handle In an orderly manner.
The people in their first surge crushed the
guards and usher as it poured in in disorderly
confusion. Many were knocked down and
trahpled upon and the coffin was soon sur
rounded by people brethless with excitement,
or crying aloud with pain. The doors of the
palace were finally forced and shut and
arrangements made for admitting 200 persons
at the end of each quarter of an hour To
preserve order under the new plan it was
even necessary TO place at the entrances
soldiers bearing fixed bayonets. FOR while
this incensed the people and increased DIS
order and danger, but they eventually quieted
down and awaited their turns decorously.

Cattle Versus Sheep.

Five sheep can be reard as
cheaplv as one two-year old steer.
The difference 10 the income from
the two may be thus compared:
Five l50-peund sheep, $6l so; one
two.ycar old steer, 10000 pounns.
at four cents, $40, equal to 2l,5C.
or more than 40 per cent. in favor
of the sheep. This difference is
greater the year after with the
ewes, for there is a lamb each
year, ard if the steer is fed one
year more the margin or profit is
less, and of course the difference
is greater in favor of the sheep.
If Que should figure on the basis
of early lambs at the price men
toned, one sheep gives about the
same profit in two years as a
l,200-pound steer And, moreover,
I feel sure that seven sheep can
be fed for the cost of feeding of
one two-year.old steer; More
over, sheep can be kept on poorer
land than cattle can, and If one is
lost by accident the loss is less:
Good sheep farms can lie procured
for one half the costof a dairy Of
grazing farm and the shelter
sheds can be made more cheaply
than for cattle. and there is less
labor in caring for them.

MR. EDITOR On last Saturday
a party OF ladies and gentlemen took
boats and went below town to Cou'
lee Cochen, for the purpose OF a fish
fry and general picnic. Early in
the morning there was a very pleas
ant and profitable shower OF rain,
which at the time appeared as if des'
tined to disappoint the picnic ers,
but before noon the sky cleared up
and left a bright and pleasant day,
which was hugely enjoyed.
1t is true bnt few fish we're caught,
and it is highly probable that much
of the fishing was done without a
hook. There is no such pleasant
source Of enjoyment than for friends
to meet in the woods and spend the
