value Of the Animals ON Uncle
Sam,s NepheW,s Farms.

Value Of the Animals ON uncle
sam,s Nephevv,s Farms.
The February statistical report of
the Department of Agriculture re-
lates to the numbers and values Of
farm animals. There is a reported
increase in horses. mules and cattle,
and q decrease in sheep and swine.
The largest rate of increase is in
horses, amounting to fully 5 per cent.
and it is general throughout the
country, though largest west
of the Mississippi. The aggregate ex-
ceeds 13,000,0o0. The increase in
mules averages 81 per cent.
The increase in cattle is
nearly 21s FER cent, cores
ponding closely with advances in
population. 1t makes the aggregate
over 49, 100000, or 50 per 100 popula-
ton. The increase is nearly as large
in milch COWS as in other cattle. In
sheep the decline appears to be be-
tween 2 and per cent, the aggregate
of flocks being about 43,500, 900.
There is a smaller decline in the
number of swine, less than per
cent, leaving the aggregate over
A, ,OOO, 900.
Prices of horses and mules are
nearly the same as last year, but both
are lower than in the year 1884, when
the continuous advance from 1877
eliminated. The average of all ages
is 71.S2 for horses and $79.78 for
mules, a decrease Of 33 and 81 cents
respectively.
From 1879 to 1884 the annual esti-
mates of prices of milch COWS and of
other cattle advanced yearly, and the
decline has since been uninterrupted,
without exception, for either class of
stock. The fall in milch COWS has
been from $26.08 to $24.S5, over 5 per
cent, and in "oxen and other cattle"
from $19.7 to $17.79, decline of 10
per cent in the last year.
In sheep, as in other stock, the an
n1al advancewasq quite stsadyafter 1879
and amounted to % per cent in four
years. From 1883 to 1886 the decline
was over 25 per cent, or from $2.53 to
$1.91. The next years average was
81. OIL and the present average $2.05,
or nearly as much as in the depression
of 1879, when prices were the lowest
in twenty years.
There has been an advance for the
average of swine of all ages from
$4.49. to $4.98, or II per cent. The
lannual advance was continuous from
1879 to 1888, then declining to 1886,
and slightl, advancing again since.
The aggregate value of all farm an
imals is IS, ,0O0, 900 more than year
ago, and totals for cattle being smaller
by about $64, 900, 900, for sheep a
trifle smaller, with increase in those
for horses, mules and swine. The
horses represent s946,000, 600, the
mules $4,000, COO, cattle $97s, ,OOO,-
600, swine 1921 ,OO0,0 and sheep
$S9, ,OOO, 900: a grand aggregate of $2,-
400, 900, 900 for these classes of domes-
tic animals on farms and ranches

THE CzAR's INTERESTING BOOK
1t Proves Very Pleasing to an
Impecuni0us Prince.

ellis splendor the Prince Kikhail
Andreievitch !" cried the sonor-
GUS voice of an imperial lackey at the
main entrance of the Winter palace
at st. Petersburg.
"Will your splendor be good enough
to follow me? His Majesty is await
ing you in the library" said a gor-
geous chamberlain, trying hard to
conceal the surprise which he evil
IDENTIFY felt at seeing that the Prince,
usually magnificent in silk and velvet
and blazing with jewels whenever he
came to court, was now clad in a
plain and not particularly new mill
tary uniform.
But there was good cause for this
sudden eclipse of "his splendor. "
The Cars court at that time was one
of the most brilliant and luxuriant in
Europe, was not the place for man
like poor Prince Mo save money
He was now so deeply in debt that he
could not even obtain credit for a
court suit, and had, consequently,
ceased to appear at the palace, till the
Czar, guessing what was wrong with
lis old friend, sent a carriage to fetch
him.
Entering the library, Prince NJ
found himself face to face with tall
fine-looking man in the prime of life,
whose ruddy cheek and bright blue
eyes showed little outward sign of the
terrible responsibilities which were
then weighing so heavily up Alex.
ander I OF Russia.
"Mikhail Andreievitch," said the
Gear, after a few friendly words, 81
have a book here of my own compost
ton upon which I should like to have
your opinion. Take it home with you
and see what you think of it,
This request greatly amazed the
Prince, who was a much better judge
of sauces or cigars than books. But
his wonder ceased when he opened
the Cars work on his way home and
found that every leaf was bank bill
to considerable amount, the whole
making up sufficient sum to pay his
debts in full and send him to the next
court reception in all his former
splendor.
"Well, Mikhail Andreievitch, ,
asked the Gar on seeing him there
chow do you like my book? ?"
"Sire," answered the Prince with
low bow, "the first volume pleased
me 80 much that have already de
voured all it's contents. Has You
Majesty any idea when the secont
volume is likely to appear ?"-[H [Har

MECHANICS who do not find work
here at the moment have only fate to
blame for the mishap. There may
be cases where carpenters are thrown
out of work for few days. If such
be the case, it is not because there is
any let up in the development of this
section. The only limit to improve
ment is the supply of material on
hand. The Israelites in Egypt found
it hardship to be required to make
bricks without straw. Our contract
ors found it hard to get bricks
to stay in place without NOR
tar, or to make mortar without
lime. Similarly they are not able to
roof houses without shingles. nor to
plaster where there are no laths. The
Southern Pacific Railway Company
is hauling into the south end Of the
County on an average twenty cars Of
lumber day, yet there is no mate
rial there many days, and the car
penters have to be laid off until new
stock of lumber may arrive. Last
week twenty-four Of these mechanics
were laid off OF the Del Campo
hotel at Anaheim, because
there was no material with which
to 60 on with the work. During Jan.
uary there were brought into San
Pedro 13, 1000, 900 feet of lumber. Al
San Diego there arrived during the
same month, 10,000,000 feet, and
most Of this found it's way into the
valley lying between Los Angeles
and San Bernardino. Large as was
this amount of building material i
was not enough to supply the grea
demand made by the unparalleled
line Of development in progress il
this region.

morDAr, FEBRUARY 81, 1858.

PERHAPs there are in the United
States Senate ether pot politicians of
Repu blican bias besides Mr.. Frye of
Maine. It may be that there are
enough Of such psndering Estates
men" in that august body to reject
the new fisheries treaty. Possibly
the narrow soul of the vote-catcher
may prefer q few votes in the fall
elect ions before the secure peace and
continual prosperity of the country.
But the eyes even Of such purblind
economists may be opened by the
miracle Of public intelligence de-
veloped in the count after the polls
close. The people often see more
than men of the Frye calibre
credit them with perceiving. Even
the fishermen along the coast
Of Maine may understand their
own interests better than such
blind guides think. The treaty is
q substantial gain to the American
fishermen. The headland theory is
given up. Thousands of square miles
offishing grounds are yielded to the
New England fishers, which grounds
were in dispute before. The rights of
hospitality are yielded 80 that the
American fisher can seek safety in a
storm without the peril of being seized
and sold. Heretofore he stood between
the storm of the deep blue sea, and
the devil of an English cruiser. He
dared not go back and was afraid to go
on. He can unship, reship or sell his
cargo in any Dominion harbor. He can
buy anything excepting bait. All Eng
land has saved is the creeks, estuaries
and immediate shores from which her
colony may exclude our fishers. Note,
the Alaskan seas are not given up to
British fishermen as reciprocal con-
cession. 1t is true the London Times
is very busy in making it appear that
the Imperial Commissioner made a
s'fair bargain" The treaty is an Ad-
ministration measure-in England. The
Tory court Journal is in duty bound
Is uphold uphold il. In Birmingham,
where personally Mr.. Chamberlain
might well expect an indulgent judg-
ment on his performance, candor
and the interests of the people lead
the press to different conclusion
from that arrived at by the admins
tration organ. Even the Times is
com PEELED to confine its apologies to
the lame claim that England did not
aba ndon the principle" for which
she contended. That the right to ex-
clude American fishers from 'some
territory is maintained" That seems
to US q rather barren victory
There is no general rejoicing
in Canada over the affair.
We do not claim that our
diplomatists played any gouge
game" on our British cousins. We
do not think our people wanted any
thing more, than a fair adjustment Of
. grave difficulty. In dollars and
cents the matter at stake was moi
very large. Peace on honorable
terms was the pith Of the affair. This
Is secured. And if the pot politicians
defeat the measure on partisan
grounds, to catch votes, they may
find that in fishing for gudgeons they
have caught deep-sea Tartar, and
that the deaf people will give them
other fish to fry before they are done
with them.

JOHN DALEY,S TRIAL.
Arguing the Question OF His Sanity 20
she Jury.

The arguments to the jury in the case OF John
Daley Indicted for the murder OF j. c. G. Kennedy,
July ID last, began yesterday afternoon. Mr..
L,pscomb opened for the Government, and was
followed by Mr.. Clagett for the Defense who spoke
until the adjournment OF the court.
NR. CLAGETT's ARGUMENT.
To-day at $3.50 O'Clock Mr.. ClagetJ continued
his argument, dwelling especially on the
testimony OF the almshouse physicians, who
had the defendant In charge a year, and
knowing that he walked lame had not once
examined his limbs. He ridlculed their testi-
mony on the question OF insanity He next
referred TO the testimony OF 'the dramatic Mr..
Hay" VINO decided because Daley acknowledged
that he ought TO be hung that he was a sane man.
The Government claimed at one Time Tho defendant
had been robbed, and now say that they do not
claim IL before the jury. They must show that he
was cheated or the idea must stand as one OF
Daley's insane decisions. In closing Mr.. Clagett
pictured the utter loneliness OF the prisoner.
The prisoner during the latter part OF Mr.
Clakett's address sued tears.
NIX. MILLER PLEADS FOR THE PRISONER.
Mr.. Miller began his argument about 1890
O'Clock. He said the delay on the part OF the Gov
eminent In bringing the case TO trial was because
OF the doubts existing TO Daley's sanity. He
then proceeded TO argue that the defendant was
insane at the time or the nomicid and Tor ten
years had been inc capable OF rational acts.
Mr.. Miller was followed by DiStrictAttorney
