The Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Mark Lane Express,
In its weekly review of the British grain trade,
says 1t is too early to make a forecast Of the
crops In the meantime, English wheats are
selling at much cheaper rates than foreign
wheats can be supplied. The sales of English
wheat during the past week were 69,972 quar-
ters at 29s 3D. against So 814 quarters at BIS 10d
during the same week last year. Flour is freely
supplied Foreign meats are more active but
the market is firm. The American options is
the curse of the world, and paralyses the busl-
ness at London and Liverpool The trade in
cargoes has been very restricted There were
two arrivals and one sale, two cargoes were
withdrawn and two remain. both American. At
today's market there was only retail inquiry for
wheat. Corn and barley were Sd dearer. Beans
and peas were Cd dearer.

An Illinois farmer was prosecuted for cutting
off the horns Of his cattle. Eminent doctors
testified that it was cruel, barbarous and I'M
necessary practice. On the other hand one
farmer said he had dehorned thousands Of cat

was slight, they did not suffer from the effects
Of the operation. Dehorned cattle consumed
at least one-fourth less food than those whose
horns were lett on the head, more of them could
be crowded into shed. and the strong could not

Gen. Lees Generosity.

ATLANTA, Ga Letter to Macon Telegraph
Here's an incident of Gen. Robert E.
Lee that has never been published
Col. Chapman, the special internal rev.
enue officer who is stationed here, was
colonel OF Mosby's regiment. FIRE.
quently Mosby was off making private
scoutings, accompanied by only a few
trusty men. 1t such cases he left Col
Chapman in command. Early in JAN
uary, in 1865, the colonel went to
petersburg to see Gen. Lee about
moving part OF Mosby's command
for the remainder of the winter down
near Kinsale, on the Potomac River.
While the colonel was talking to Gen.
Lee they were interrupted by the ar
rival of a special courier. The day
was very cold. There had been rain
for several days. This day the rain
had fallen in torrents. The war was
drawing to close and rations and
clothing were very scarce. The courier
was wretchedly clad. He had no over
coat. His suit was very much worn
and was soaking wet, for he had ridden
many miles that day in the drenching
rain. Gen. Lee drew chair to the
small wood-fire and babe the man
take seat. When he had concluded
his errand and was thoroughly warmed
he arose to go. Gen. Lee glanced at
him almost furtively, as if he felt that
the soldier was ashamed to have his
poor attire observed.
care you returning at once to your
general's?" inquired Gen. Lee.
eyes, SIR" was the response, eff my
horse has finished feeding"
at is still raining very hard" said
Gen Lee; 'have you no rubber coat ?"
sob, that don't matter, general"
was the evasive, but brave answer.
"Then," says Col. Chapman, "Gen.
Lee remained silent a moment, walked
to the wall where his rubber coat
hung, took it down and gave it to the
soldier, who protested in vain against
Gen. Lees depriving himself. I'll tell
you," continued Col. Chapman, "there
were many generals in the army who
would have risked their lives for their
men, but Lee is the only one | saw
part with gum coat on rainy day
in dead winter, and that to a private
who was not even Immediately con-
nected with Gen. Lees command"

How Do You Part Your Hair ?

From the New York World
l ran across Bronson Howard, the
playwright, few days ago, viewing
the Morgan collection. He has not
changed much in 10 years-still genial,
stoutish, rosy-faced and deliberate of
conversation. In the course OF a brief
talk we happened to speak ofthe pref
udIce which exists in this country
against the custom some men have Of
parting their hair in the middle, and
the report that one of President
Grant chiefreasons for recalling John
Lothrop Motley as minister to the
court OF st. James was this method Of
capillary division. "Strange, if true"
said Howard. 1.-The habit OF parting
the hair in the middle in England is so
nearly universal that it is considered
quite the thing feminine thing, mean
-tor women to part theirs little on
one side. Now the Prince of Wales
cannot part his hair in the middle,
because, like myself, he has none on
the top OF his head. This style of
wearing the hair is quite becoming to
some men, as George William Curtis.
for instance. Fechter, as Hamlet,
parted his hair in the middle; King
Lear IS always thus represented;
Schiller always wore his hair in this
style, and IN Leonardo da Vinci's
Last Supper" Christ is pictured with
his hair similarly disposed. Tenny-
son, Longtellow, Carlyle, Walt Whit
man, Ed. Stedman and Taine are no.
table examples OF this fashion. There
is certainly warrant enough for the
practice; the only question for the in
dlvldual should be: is it becoming %

WEST AND EAST,

Ia olden days, when Dives dined ia state,
The poor lay starving at his palace gate;
And hungry wretches barred their blains and
sores
Within a yard Of his frequented doors
Yet, though reminded hourly Of his debt
The man of wealth was able to forget
The claims OF want in those who never feel
The grinding tread OF fortune'siron heel.
And if with want beneath his very eyes
man could shut his heart to hunger's cries,
How easy for the Dives of to day
To fail to hear the groans of far away
Small need OF music at a Mayfair feast
To drown the elamor OF the distant East,
For Lazarus no longer dares infest
The swept and garnished pavements OF the West
Crouehed in his sordid room, on dirty straw
He champs the bones that dogs disdain to gnaw
And shivers, fireless, while the frozen blast
Through paneless windows whistles sharply past
Empty and naked, comfortless and faint,
He means, and no one hears his wOful plant;
The busy world knows nothing OF his signs,
And Lazarus is left alone to die.
Five miles away, the streets are full of life,
And Dives drives in furs beside his wife,
The bracelet that her small white wrist sur
rounds
Has cost her lord a triaing thousand pound:
Then home to dinner where the fires are bright
And stores OF plate reflect the dancing ligF'
The times are bad, no doubt, but mi,nt bt
worse,
And Dives still retains portly purse.
shall the old tragedy be played again,
with Dives in the hideous part Of Cain,
INDIGNANTLY demanding why should
BE held responsible when others dep
Or VIII the West search out the hungry East,
Ere the dull cry for succor shall have ceased,
Ana give what help a loyal brother can
To him who is, at least a fellow man?

But while we live, the bonds OF love may link
The nearer border with the further brink.

Ostrich Farming.

One of the recent agricultural
"crazes" has died q natural death.
Ostrich ranches, which have been es-
tablished in South Africa and in Lower
California, have proved improbable
and have collapsed like soap bubbles
The story OF their success has been
well told, and ostrich-farming, like
other crazes, had been announced as
a bonanza which was to make its DOS
SCISSORS wealthy. The plethoric, leth-
argic Boer, who inhabits South Africa,
sitting IN his door with pipe in mouth
and cup OF coffee at his elbow, would
revel IN day dreams of auriferous
showers. Every chick that hurried at
his call to pick up the scattered frag-
ments OF domestic refuse represented
so many bank notes, and every snowy
graceful feather on those of a larger
growth betokened each solid piece oil
gold. Who in lieu ofthis would "grunt
and sweat under a heavy load" OF
stock and agricultural cares? What
were the ravages OF rust, locusts and
drought to him now? Nothing but a
mere idle, troublesome dream OF the
past.
The best pairs of breeding ostriches
found ready sale at $4,000. They
were the most prolific breeders ever
heard OF. -Four broods g. year, as
regular as elockwork, with an average
OF fifteen to brood, making sixty
chicks a year, each one worth S75
produced 81, 500 per annum, in add.
ton to the value OF the old birds
feathers, which wa then great.
Ostrich farms were established in
considerable numbers, and the ostrich
farmers bought and sold Of each 9th.
