A large publishing-house states that it
generally employs as readers men and
women of culture, who themselves have
done literary work; sometimes a lawyer
who finds time from his professional du-
ties, or a doctor similarly situated, and
sometimes a woman of refined education
qualified to do the work. When any
manuscript on a scientific, medical, OF
special subject is handed in some recog-
nized professional mar in that particular
is engaged. Nearly all writers bear a
part of the expense of the first edition
all new writers do. 1t is a fact not gen.
orally known that Longfellow paid within
a small amount of the total cost of pro-
duction of his first volume of poems, and
James Russell Lowell paid all the ex-
pense Of his first work.-Chicago Times.

Probable origin Il re.a. Cattle.

That the cattle OF ,xico and Texas de
scended from the her OF old Spain is al
most universally believed. 1t is thought
that when these gentle and pious worthless,
the Spanish invaders, brought their
swords to America to help make openings
for the introduction Of saying grace and
the sweet charitable teachings of the
church militant, they also brought cattle
OF the herds OF Andalusia. Some Of them,
It is supposed, escaped, or were abandoned
to roam and breed at freedom on the
sunny plains OF the Rio Bravo del Norte.
The resemblance there between the pict-
uresquely gothic Andalusian bullock and
the slabsided and cathemmercd racer OF
the southwest is considered good evidence,
II not proof positive, that they had a re
mote common origin--Chicago Tribune.

HOUSES OF WASHINGTON CITY.
without the of New York Res
idsnces-The Apartment House.

without the Of New York Res
idences-rhe Apartment House.
Washington houses have not the costly
features of those in New York, but they
have not also the darkness Of New York
houses. The New York residence in gem
eral has only a front and a back, its sides
being Dramatically closed up by other
houses; consequently in the middle of the
house there is always a dark place. In
what are called English basement houses
this is lighted by a skylight, the stairs
being thrown into the center of the
house, and houses Of that class are COM
ing more and more into request.
The problem in New York is how to
get the ashes and garbage out of the
house, because there are no alleys in that
city, neither through tho houses nor
back of them. Therefore the houses are
made high-stooped, the owner having 10
go up ter or twelve steps, while the ser
rants come out under this stoop with
the ash-barrel. In the English
basement houses the servants base
ment is reached by stairs in
the middle of the house front; in Wash
ington, however the obliquity of many
of the streets permits the houses TO over
lap each other, and exposes their sides as
well as the front. These houses are like
stairs which are turned upon their side.
The city in general being right angled,
while the alleys are oblique to these
streets, you can either have side win
dows TO your house or large bays.
Washington is also going into the
apartment house business, having been
inspired thereto by the success of the
first apartment house built here, the
Portland, which was supposed originally
to be a foolish experiment; but l under
stand that every apartment in it is taker
and that there is a demand for more.
These apartments are adapted to house
keeping, are all on one floor, and the
building is situated where two broad
streets come to a point, SO that it has
light and air everywhere. They retain
the absurd names of English baronial
families for these houses. One is called
the Portland, another is the Richmond
and another the Woodmont. There is
no need Of excellent names of our own
region to put upon those houses, and it
seems very preposterous in the capital Of
the United States to know no other
nomenclature thar the leavings of Brit
ish feudalism. --Gath's Washington
Letter.

A Connecticut man is usually sharp at
n bargain when he gives his mind to it.
A Waterbury weekly newspaper made an
invariable rule TO charge 81 down for a
years subscription, and Sl.25 when the
subscriber was in arrears. One subscriber
was three weeks behind when he went I o
renew his subscription the other day. He
offered his a, and was told that SIPS was
the price. "Irl stop my paper said the
subscriber. "Herc are the 12 cents | owe
you for the three papers" After the
editor had pocketed the IL cents the sub
scriber handed out the same dollar and
said he guessed he'd subscribe for a year.
He saved just 10 cents by the operation.

Perhaps no more striking illustration
of the wonderful reproductive powers of
certain insects could be given than that
contained in a new work by Theodore
Wood. an English entomologist. 1t is
assumed first that 100 aphides weigh no
nor collectively than a single grain;
and secondly, that only a very stou man
can weigh as much as 1000, 900 grains.
Then it is found that if multiplication
were entirely unchecked, the tenth brood
alone Of the descendants of a single
aphis would be equivalent in point of
actual matter to more than 500, OO0, 900
of very stout men, or one-third of the
human population Of the globe, suppos-
ing each person to weigh 2s0 pounds.

FAIRNESS IN rue LABOR IssUE..

= a@E3 ~ ~ 90 80
In the ~upheavalof labor interests, and
the manifestation Of their strength when
fully organized, there have been some cir
cumstances hat have occasioned regret
and unfavorable comment, yet, on the
whole, the country has contemplated this
extraordinary spectacle with wonderful
calmness. In nearly every instance TX
cept that Of the unfortunate and too pre-
cipitate strike on the Southwestern rail-
roads, there has been a good feeling be-
tween the parties III controversy, and a So
luton has been amicably reached.
The natural and appropriate suggestion
to all at the present moment must be to
cultivate a reasonable temper. The ex.
isting disturbances should not imperil any
public or private interests, and will not,
in all probability, unless the situation
is needlessly aggravated. The work
ingmen who have organized are
not unconscious how much they
will weaken themselves by tax
ing a wrong position or making an unfair
demand, and they will in the main, we
believe, restrain themselves from passing
over the reasonable limit. 1t is, there
fore, for the other parties concerned in
the question hat wiz arise, to meet them
with candor, seeking. not to gain aniair
advantage, or to triumph by harsh means,
but to adjust fairly whatever may be at
issue. This is the more demanded Of
those who claim for themselves intelli-
gence aud culture, and who have had the
opportunity OF fully studying all the con
ditions of the problem.
In the long run, we do not believe that
this country will fail to avoid the rocks
and shoals of the great social issues that
are presented. 1t is our happy situation
that there are here no deep-seated griev-
ances or long maintained wrongs as make
the old world volcanic -Phladslp hid

The debate on General Logan's arm

with those Of other countries. II is now

armies than ours. though at much smaller
proportionate cost For instance, the

large as ours, and 1t costs only S23, OOO,-

The mmors about Gladstone and his
Irish policy are as conflicting as-they are
numerous. All that is known is that he
says be will introduce his home rule bin
April S, his budget April -, and his land
purchase bill April Is. What extent his
home rule scheme will assume is as yet his
own carefully kept secret But his fol
lowers are daily falling a~ay. and it is
doubtful whether he will have votes
enough to pass anything, if the detection
should continue. Another rumor is 10
the eject that the queen will refuse to
dissolve parliament if Gladstone should
be beaten. which means hal an attempt
will be made to ft up a compromise cab

SINCE the knights Of Kabor began
their strike a number OF bills have been
introduced in congress providing varioui
methods Of arbitration in cases of contro-
versies between capital and labor. Some
Of those measures have very excellent
features; but measures devised during the
term Of trouble and excitement to remedy
evils are generally far from beng the
most judicious which can be formulated,
and congress should exercise great caution
IN the consideration of all such bills. A
national arbitration law. well devised,
would be a very useful measure, but il
must be the result OF profound thought
and the work Of practical men who can
zee all sides Of the question.
