transportation Of Live Cattle.

A company has been organized to
transport live cattle from the west to
New York at express train speed, and
a recent experiment from Chicago to
New York demonstrated the perfect feast
bility Of the venture. The cars are built
on a special plan. with all the running
gear constructed with a view to ease Of
motion. The rocking and straining Of
the common cattle cars, which cause such
a heavy percentage OF loss on the trans
portatiOn Of live sock, are altogether
avoided. The a r are literally palace
cars, being far better in construction con-
veniences than the emigrant cars in use
on most roads. l happened by mere &C
cident to be in a Jersey City depot when
the experimental train came in. 1t had
followed after the limited express and
made a through trip at high pressure.
Yet the cattle were all in good condition,
neither fevered nor dirty, and the cars
were admirably clean and well ventil.
ated. The saving on the loss of stock. l
am told, allows q very considerable
profit over the extra cost of the cars and
the extra charges for hauling at high
speed. The shamefully brutal methods
hitherto in vogue in the transportation
of cattle are well known. Every hui
name person must hail this innovation as
a forward step in the right direction and
q long one, too.-Alfred Tumble in New

bacon on the counter in the supply store,
when it occurred Ia me that it would
taste pretty well for breakfast some
morning. ordered the clerk Ia cut off
ten pounds for me, and while he was
preparing to do it | asked him how he
sold it. You can judge my establishment
when he said he would reduce the price
to me and make it 81 a pound. Well, /
didn't buy it. As for hams-they never
saw a ham there. The Mexicans know

The Banjo In Boston.

That primitive instrument, the banjo,
has lately obtained q renewal Of its popu-
larity among the society women OF Bos-
ton. A lady Of my acquaintance whom
/ ventured to chaff mildly on the subject
a day or two ago took what l SAID quite
seriously. "Why," said she, as she ran
her fingers over the catgut strings, 'If
antiquity implies responsibility, the banjo
should be the most venerated Of musical
c~ontrivances. l have been looking up
the matter recently, so l a speak of it
As n who knows. Pictures of the
banjo. in q modified form, are found
upon the Egyptian and Assyrian monu
ments built forty centuries ago, and
something very like it was used on festive
occasions by the ancient Hebrews. I'm
agine, il you please, that dignifed gen.
tleman Moses engaged in stunning q
hymn tune upon the melodious sheep

.'But, as well as I can make out, the
original banjo, az invented by the savage
natives of Africa, was simply a gourd

it is stilfemployed by the cannibals OF
the interior to make music at their ban
auets. | myself have seen banjos OF q
precisely similar construction played upon
by negroes in the south. l have no
doubt they brought the banjo with them
in this undeveloped condition from their
own country. Presumably it became
what it is at present through the applica-
ton to it of principles already familiar in
the guitar. Now you know everything l
have been able to read up on the subject.
l should add, however, that the Egypt
ian banjo had four strings, with a fretted
finger board and parchment head"
Henceforth l vow that l will never
speak otherwise than with the utmost
respect Of this chosen instrument Of mig

The Sioux.

WASHINGTON, October 2O.-Secretary
Villas said to- day that the Sioux chiefs
had formally notified, i'm that they had
rejected, by largemajority, the pro-
positions made by the President
through the Secretary, last Wednesday.
They submitted counter proposition,
agreeing to accept SIPS per acre, the
money to be paid at once. This propo-
sltion the Secretary declared, could not
for moment be entertained by gov
eminent. A small minority slgnitiad
their willingness to accept the PROPOSE
lions. This concluded all negotiations.
The chiefs are to be presented to the
President this afternoon, and will
leave for the reservation tomorrow.
Secretary Villas expressed the opinion
tn 1t one of the principal reasons for the
rejection of his propositions was due to
the fact that the execution of the law
would break up all tribal relations, thus
depriving the chiefs OF their present
authority.
