Beasts or Burden IN emma.

Cinnamon have such regard for beasts
of burden, snch as the OK and the mule,
that they make companions of them
when alive and never use their meat
for food when they are dead. These
animals usually live in the same build
ing with their masters, but in separate
apartment, which is especially devoted
to them. They are not required to eat
at the family table unless they wish to,
and meals are served in their rooms
without extra charge. They are ex-
pected to report any incivility or mat
tention on the part of servants to the
master of the house. A pair of oxen
can reside in the house of their master
and enjoy all the privacy they would
have in a stall of their own, and SEN
sitive and retiring mule is never in any
danger of being intruded upon. Yet

The annual review of the American
whale fishery shows that there are now
1O6 whaling vessels owned in this
county, of which twenty are laid up ut
home. Prices for the products, except
whalebone, have been low, and the right
whaling in the Arctic Ocean, where
most whalebone is taken, is becoming
moro and more popular, SO that now
about half the total tonnage of whaling
vessels is employed in that branch of the
service. In the Arctic last summer there
were forty-seven whalers, slight in
crease from the year before, but their
average catch was only about half that
of 1887. OF the American whalers now
in service, sixty three ARE owned in New
Bedford. twenty-three in San Francisco,
eight in Frovincetown, four in Edgar
town, three in Boston, three in New Lon
don, and two in Stonington.

Relations with Canada.

BosroN. Mass, Sept. II. = The
United States Senate Committee on -ela-
tions with Canada began its public hearing
in this city to-day.
Representative Morse of Canton said that
he did not think it profitable for the United
States and Canada to retain an army of
revenue officers on each side of line 5000
miles long. II Canada would conform their
protective tariff to ours and consent TO a
just adjustment Of the fishery difficulty, he
would favor a reciprocity treaty. The In
terstate Commerce law he considered the
most unjust to American railroads, as driv-
ing business away TO parallel lines in Can
ada. The law should be repealed. 1t is an
outrageous interference with private
rights. IL not repealed something must be
done to protect our railroads from Canadian
competition.
President Square and S p. Hubbard of
the Chamber of Commerce believed in an
nexadou as the best solution of the pro
blem.
A Hardy and b. F. QUITS of Boston were
in favor of reciprocity, the latter saying
that Canada had much to give in return,
us % per cent of the fish brought to Amer
lean ports by American vessels were stolen
from within the three mile limit, and Amer
lean fishermen must have Canadian bait.

This the most severe and damaging storm
which has visited this section of the New

The surf ran SO high that it washed the
outer end of the great ocean pier and
tossed its foam and spray 200 feet inland.
The blum has again been badly damaged,
and it will cost fully $40, 900 to repair it.
All along the ocean front the surf has un
dermined the bluffs, and to night big
chunks of dirt are falling down and being
swallowed up by the boiling waters. The
surf has twisted several OF the iron piles
of the Ocesn pier out of shape and torn OF
the railing at the sea end. Many Of the
hotel bathing houses have been demolished
and the beach pavilions of the cottagers
have been undermined and swept away
The ice houses of the Elberon Hotel were
blown down. Many Of the cottagers will
have to build new bulkheads. Trees were
blown down in all parts Of the town and
the shrubbery on the lawns Of the cottages
was torn up by the roots.

The Bureau OF Immigration and Sta
tistics Of this State has issued neat book
entitled Colorado" on the natural re-
sources, industrial development and condi-
tion Of the commonwealth. 1t is book
full Of carefully gathered information con-
corning the many resources Of the State
and the separate industrial interests Of
each county. 1t entirely does away with
the idea that Colorado is only mining and
grazing country, and shows that in few
years it will take high place in the ranks
Of agricultural States.
During the year 1855 the mining inter
ests yielded total value in gold, silver
and copper of 95,24O, ,g94.T3. This output
will be increased about 40 per cent. this
year. The total value Of agricultural pro-
ducts for last year amounted to sl3, ,5s4, l3l,
and farming did moi. begin to any great ex-
tent until 1sT2. Almost everything in the
vegetable and fruit kingdom may be sue
cessfully grown in the State now. There
are about ], Cox, 600 acres under cultivation.
in some parts of the State good lands may
be had for a small price, but the increasing
immigration is rapidly enhancing the value
Of every kind of real estate.
The cattle raising industry is one Of
much Importance, as is that of sheep rails
ing. There are now ! 200 900 head of cat
tie and about 1000, 600 head of sheep graz
ing on tho fertile prairies within the
boundaries of Colorado.
The book treats of all these features in q
mprehensive way and overlooks nothing
of Importance in the vast fields of mineral
that constitute much of Colorado's wealth.
