The opinion has lately been ex- pressed by Sir R. Rawlinson, the eminent architect, that the old east ern plan of securing foundations by forming deep wells and then fill ing them up with concrete has been too much neglected, for in this method security is afforded for the loftiest structures in the most diff, cult ground. Masses of concrete, or brick, or stone work placed on a compressible substratum, however cramped and bound, may prove un- safe, solidity from a considerable depth being alone reliable.

the party very logically declined to
 go any further, and returned to So-
 zorro, leaving eight to continue the
 search. The latter, with admirable
 courage, continued their course un-
 til they reached the San Juan coun-
 try in Colorado (on tke Navajo res ervation) there the party divided
 once more, five returning to their homes leaving Capt. Patterson. the leader of the expedition, Ad Baker and George Cbristilow to continue the search. Telegrams last week reached Albuquerque that they had been murdered by the Navajos, and in Saturdays Socor.o Chieftain, a paragraph announces that there is a probability that the telegrams will be verified. Ben Swift, it is certain, has met his death from the hands of the mucderous red fends. He was a we'll known old time miner in central New Mexico, who had but recently entered the cattle business in the Zuni mountains. We had the pleasure of Interviewing several of those who returned to Socorro, among them Mr. s. Young, who states that on the trip they observed in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah that abundant signs of coal existed and that petroleum and lubricating oil were found flowing from more than one spring. While the object of this excursion failed in its principal feature, the results of the discovery of vast beds of coal and mineral oil, will have a influence upon the des- tiny of the country traversed.- Bullion.

During the war Miss N, a be: IL tiful and spirited Virginian, whose brother Ia Confederate soldier) had been taken prisoner by the Union forces, was dcsirous of obtaining a pass which would enable her 10 visit him. Francis P. Blair ag.eed to secure an audience with the Pres ident, but wa.'aed his young and rather impu!s;ve friend to be very prudent and not let word escape her which would be;ray her South ern sympathies. 1iiey wee usher- ed into the presence of Mir. Lincoln and the object for which they had come stated. The tall, grave man bent down to the peE.e ma ten and looking sea ~chingIy into her face, said: You are loyal, of cou-seY" Her bright eyes flashed. She hesi- tated a moment, and then, With a face eloquent with emotion and hon. est as his own, she replied: "Yes, loyal to the hearts core-to Virgin ia p MT. Lincoln kept bis intent gaze upon her for a moment longer and then went to his desk, wrote a line or two, and handed her the pa- per. With bow the interview ter minated. Once outside, the ex- treme vexation of Mir. Blair found vent in reproachful words. Now, you have done it p he said: did not l warn you to be very careful? you have only yourself to blame" !" Miss N. made no reply, but opened the paper. It contained these words: "Pass Miss N.; she is an honest girl, and can be trusted.- A. Lincoln"

It has hitherto been thought that Buenos Ayres was one of the most expensive cities to live in, a medium sized house renting there for two thousand i've hundred dollars 9 year. Itis learned, though, that an eight-room house in the outskirts of Sydney brings one thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars 8 year.

Great Britain is the heaviest pur- chaser of Amer can beef and cattle among foreign buyers. This year to August she took $5,150,7 ,750 wortl, of fresh beef an increase of almost $2,000,000 over 1887 for the same time. Of cattle on the hoof she bought in the same period of the United States of the value of S9,- 194 ,222, which exceeds last years purchases by S5,296,39S. These figures indicate that our export trade in beef and cattle is rapidly increasing, and if conti1u will no doubt have an important bear ing upon cattle prices affecting them for the better, provided the huge monopoly that fattens at Chi cago, can be checked in it's career of absorption of all the vitality be- longing to the live stock industry of the country.

Judging a Horse.

1. Never take the sellers word. If disposed to be fair he may have been the dupe of another, and will deceive you through representa- tions which cannot be relied upon. l ?. Never trust horses mouth as sure index ofhis age.
 3. Never buy a horse while in motion; watch him while he is standing at rest. If sound. be will stand firmly and squorely on his limbs without moving any of them, feet planted flat upon the ground, with legs plump and naturally poised. If one is thSowa forward with the toe pointing to the ground and the heel raised, or if tbe foot is lifted from the ground and the weight taken from it, disease ofthe navicular bone may be suspected, or at least .endernesss, which is a precursor of desease. 1.-the foot is thown out, tbe toe raised abd the heel brought down, the horse has suffered fcoms lamniiis, founder ofthe back sioews have been sp:a;n- ed and he is Of little future value. When the feet are al drawn togeth- CT beaeath the horse, if there has been no disease, there is a misplace ment of the limb at least, and weak disposition of the mu scles. If tbe ho-se stands with bis feet sp:ead apart or stcaddles with his hind legs, tbereis weak less of the lo:ns, and the kidneys are disordered. When tue knees are bent and totter and tremble, the beast has been ruined by heavy pulling and never will be right again, whatever rest and treatment he may receive. Con- tracted or ill-formed hoofs speak for themselves.
 4. Never buy a horse with a bluish or milky coat in the eyes. They indicate constitutional ten  dency to opthalmia, moon-blind- ness, etc.
 .. Never have anything to do with a horse who keeps his ears tbrown backward. This is an in- variable Indication of bad temper.
 6. If the horses hind legs aie sca}red, tue facts denote tbat he is a kicker.
 7. If fthe knees are blemished, the horse is apt to stumble.
 s. When the skin is rough and harsh, and does not move easily | and smoothly to the touch, the horse is heavy eater and diges- tion is bad.
 9. Avoid a horse whose respira- tory organs are at all impaired. If tue ear is paced to the heart and a wbeezing sovnd IS heard, it is an indication oft;ouble.~St Paul Pio- neer Press.

The Masonic Grand Lodge O.

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Scotland at their last quarterly meeting considered the expulsion of two brothers for admitting a cou- pie of ladies to a lodge meeting last May, where they could see and hear a considerable portion of the pro- ceedings while the lodge was "tyled in the third degree" They were let into the organ-lo:t. The committee recommended that one of the broth CTS be expelled.

To Annex Canada.

An intimate friend of Gen. liar rison says: "Gen. Harrison, like al presidents, will desire to do some thing that will give his administra- ton a prominent place in the bis tory of his country, and I have req. son to believe that one of bis first official acts Will be tbe negotiation for the anne alton of Canada"
 "What--is his plln of anneza- tion?"
 He believes the United States can and should receive Canada in peceable manner. His idea is the territory can be anuesed to the United States by assuming Cana da's debt. If the territory cannot be obtained for that consideration I think Gen. Harrison you'd favor paying 8 considerable bonus. I understand he has said privately that tke surplus in the treasury could not be spent in a wiser man. her tban by bueing Canada. What ever his plans for making Canada a portion of the United States may be, I know he heartily favors such a move, and will so recommend in his first message to congress-"
 The following dispatch from Montreal snows how the Annexa- ton scheme is regarded in that part of Canada:
 Ut is hard to describe the sensa- tion the above dispatch has caused. In all the hotels it is being discuss ed and at the clubs it is the sole topic. It is felt that the dispatch, instead of being an ordinary item of rews and transmitted in the usual way, is a feeler thrown out by the president-elect through his friends to draw from Canadian and Americap papers expression of opinion ou tue matter, in that, from these he may obtain such an idea as will enable him to act intelligent ly upon the question. The Liberal party of Canada is committed to unrestricted reciprocity or free trade with the States the more rad ical being in favor ofwhat tLey call commercial union CT any form of annexation whatever. Conve1sa- tioDs with the Hon. Peter Mitchell and other leaders of the Liberal party reveal several reasons for the spread of the annexation movement and indicate that should President Harrison really intend to make the proposition mentioned in the dis patch he will find that Canada is ready for the scheme"

A new field for French painters, who have been rather impecunious of late, is painting panels in the sections of the exhibition. For ex, ample, the Argentine Republic will have one of the richest exhibits, and the walls of it's section are to be adorned with decorative panels, which will be taken back to that country doubtless when the exposi- tion is over. Thus the great million aires of the River Platte will have the address of an artist in case he should wish to send an order to Paris. In the hope of reaching this new market, artists of the very first class are offering to paint pan els twenty feet long for such sums as a thousand francs. :

A splendid entertainment, con, sisting of beer, bread and cheese, and dancing, was lately given at Friedrichsruhe, by Prince Bismarck to allhis workmen and the adminiss tration for cutting down trees on the estate, upon which there isa vast amount of timber-cutting. The occasion was the leveling of the one hundred thousandth tree. It was over one hundred and fifty feet in height, and will be erected in front of the prinee's house as 2 me- mento.
