MaximillAn and carlota.

The Emperor gave early attention to
the condition of the 100000 indians,
included in the population of his Empire,
and took measures to better their condi-
ton. He issued decree emancipating
the peons-the victims of curious sys-
tenn of slavery peculiar to Mexico which,
however, proved Intellectual in the end,
though it showed the excellence Of his
motives and that he was not the despot he
is often accused of being. His govern
ment was absolute monarchy, it is true,
but II was scarcely more autocratic than
the republic which preceded it or that
which now exists in Mexico. In the ex-
tent OF their charities the young sovereigns
were not to be outdone. The amount of
money expended in public and private
benevolence, could it be estimated, would
astonish the reader. Among the lasting
monuments to the goodness of Carlota's
heart, is the Casa dc Materniddd [lying-in
hospital), In the city of Mexico, built and
equipped at her expense This excellent
charity alone would justify the love dis
played and still existing for the beautiful
but unfortunate Empress. = .dmaioan

HOW MUCH wool DO we GROW .

National Stockman and Farmerl
1t Will be remembered that the Govern
ment estimate of the wool clip of 1887 was
2S5,0OO,O00 pounds, while that of James
Lynch of New York, for the same time
was 325, 100000 pounds. For 1887 the
Government figure was 265, 100000 pounds
"a falling off of 20,000,000 pounds-while
Mr.. Lynch's estimate for 1887, just out, is
800, 800, 000-an increase of above $500
900 pounds. This difference is, to say the
least of it, singular-and what does il
mean? We have not yet seen Mr.. lynch
figures in detail, and do not know to what
section of country he credits his great in
crease. Everyone knows that there is
great lack OF thoroughneSs in the work OF
the Government in collecting its figures
concerning sheep; yet the general result
arrived at corresponds SO well with the re-
suits of observation that there are good
grounds for believing them to be approx
mately correct. In all this Ohio valley
country, for instance, it can hardly be dis
puted that the quantity of wool produced
IS falling off from year to year.
There are two points favorable to the
correctness of Mr.. Lynch's annual reports.
One ID that they are prepared after the
clip has been taken and most of it sold.
when the facilities for getting at the truth
ought to be better than in any estimate
made in advance of shearing. The other
is that the bad wool markets and reign of
low prices are more in keeping with the
idea of large and increasing clips than of
reduced ones. Attending circumstances
threw just enough of FEASIBILITY into his
figures as to place the whole subject in a
good deal of doubt.
We allude to this discrepancy in figures
TO enforce point which We have made be-
fore-that the Department of Agriculture
should possess such facilities for gathering
figures as would make the results of It's
Investigations authority to be accepted
without question. This is clearly feasible.
and We hold that the farmers of the great
est agricultural country of the world are
entitled TO know the accessible facts of the
production and consumption of agricult-
ural products. Nothing is more needed
than this knowledge in equipping Ameri-
can farmers for the most successful prose-
cution of their business.

BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured
bY CutiCura.

Our little son viii be four years OF age on the
25th inst In May, 1885, he was attacked with a
very painful breaking out of the skin. We
called in a physician, who treated HIM for
about four weeks The child received little or
no good from the treatment. as the breaking
out, supposed by the physician to be hives in
an aggravated form, became larger In blotches
and more and more distressing. We were fire.
quently obliged to get up in the night and rub
him with soda in water. strong liniments etc.
Finally, we called other physicians until no
less than six had attempted to cure him, all
alike failing, and the child steadily getting
worse and worse, until about the Goth of last
July, when we began to give him CUTICuRA RE-
SOLVENT internally. and the CuTIcuRA and CUT
CURA SOAP externally, and by the last of August
he was SO nearly well that we gave him only
one dose of the REsoLvENT about every second
day for about ten days longer. and he mas never
been troubled since with the horrible NAL
ady. In all we used less than onc-half of bot
tie of CUTICURA REsoLvENT, & little less than one
box of CUTICURA, and only one cake OF CUTIcURA
SOAP.
