History of the First maine Cavalry

From among the many encoinums bestowed
on the History of the First Maine Cavalry
by Lieut.. Edward p. Tobie, the following
are selected to indicate the value of the work
The editor of the Century in charge of the
"War Articles" writes: 1.-The history of the
First Maine Cavalry by Tobie appears in
matter and arrangement model regimental
history"
The Boston Herald under date of Decem-
Der 13. 1887, states: Lieut.. Tobie has done
an admirable piece of work in writing this
history, and he has enjoyed the advantage
of tapping sources of information more
generous that those within reach of most
such historians. This volume is far ahead
of any other of its kind in the matter Of por-
traits An excellent portrait of Gen. G. H.
Smith stands for the frontispiece, and there
are 60 pages of pictures, large proportion
of them being of the best sort for such a
work, i. e., showing the officers and men as
praise is due to this happy effort to i'm
mortalize the soldier countenances of this
command"
General and Ex-President r. B. Hayes
Hayes writes: Il recall no regimental his
tory that is equal to it. The great number
able and TO be commended. Maine seems to
be ahead if we may judge by Mai. Gonld's
1-10-29th Infantry and this volume"
Gen. c. II. Smith, U. "a, writes: 81 have
examined IH6 DOCK ana ike IL In all Its de-
tails. The Illustrations are splendid
feature and great success"
Frank j. Savage Of Fairfield, Me-, writes
81 look at the history every day and read
and re-read and never seem to tire of it,"
Benz. A. Osborn of Watsonville, Cal.
writes: Il am delighted with the history and
the numerous pictures and scarce restrain
myself from adding my voice TO that grand
cheer like that of old which rose above the
thunder of hoofs and clank of sabers."
Monroe. Daggett, of Occur d'Alene, Idaho
Ter, writes: "The history is supremely
grand. 1t must certainly fulfill the most ex.
travagant desire of ALL"
Rev. w. f. Bickford Of Berkely, Cal.
writes: ''It is marvellous production and 9
beautiful volume. The Historian and others
of the committee have pluck, patience and
perseverance,, to say nothing of other quail
ties"
Horace S. Cole of Fergus Falls, MINI.
writes: "The history is book shall prizt
above all others, and l think the comrades
are deeply indebted to the committee for th,
manner in which it has been brought out"
II. b. Webb, of Boulder City, Col, writes

THE Charleston News and Courier,
edited by a member of the dem
ocratic national executive commit
tee, prints a double-leaded editorial
on Harrison, under the head "What
OF the South ?" at Is evident" the
journal says, "from utterances since
the election, that there Is less desire
than ever before to dragoon the
Southern states. There are conserv-
ative influences at work. Many
millions Of Northern and Western
capital are already invested in the
South. The conclusion we have
come to Is that Southern people
have little reason at present TO fear
extreme measures ON the part Of
Gen. Harrison, or of congress, and
Southern people themselves-South-
ern democrats-can strengthen by
their conduct the hope OF continued
peace and progress. pa.- ..,..

BEEF CATTLE.

Beef cattle are now selling in
Portland for two and a half cents a
pound, gross. Now, how does this
pan out. Take a l2O0-pound steer,
and the farmer gets for him 800
And what does the butcher get?
Fairly fattened, the steer will pro-
duce fifty pounds of tallOw, and a
hide weighing sixty pounds. The
dressed carcass will range about
fifty-seven pounds of clean meat
out of every one hundred pounds
live weight; and this gives six hun
dred and eighty-four pounds of
rough tallow at five cents makes
two dollars and a half for tallow.
The sixty pounds of hide at six
cents makes three dollars and sixty
cents. The head, tongue and feet
will bring fifty cents; or for the hide,
tallow, etc, six dollars and sixty
cents. This will pay the butcher
for the time and labor taken to
slaughter, dress and sell the beef,
and a profit on the money invested.
The carcass would, therefore, if
there was II fair divide, cost the
retailer at his shop, the sum of
twenty-three dollars and forty cents.
Now the retailer cuts it up.
Ranging from porterhouse down to
chuck, the cutter will make half the
carcass into steaks, averaging in
price about eleven cents Fpound.
That makes for three hundred and
forty-two pounds of steak, the sum
of thirty-seven dollars and sixty
cents. Then there remains the
balance of the carcass, three hun
dred and eighty-four pounds, which
is cut up into roasts, boils, stewsand
soups, and sold on an average of
say five cents per pound; and we
have for this last item the sum of
seventeen dollars and ten cents.
Now summing up all these items,
we find, that for the steer for which
the farmer received only thirty
dollars at the end Of three years care
and feed and pasture, the butchers
get out of him in those three days,
the sum of slxty-one dollars and
thirty cents. We do not know
exactly what the wholesale butchers
here charge the retailers, but it is
probably more than we have
allowed. But that does not help
out the farmer Mt all. The way the
business is now organized the
farmer has not much chance to get
his just share of the profit on the
steer; for it is very clear that the
farmer ought TO get more, or the
consumer ought to get beef for less
money,--N. w. Farmer.
