There has never been anything like a
correct census of the live stock of the
United States taken, and in the last cen
sus a prominent feature was the failure
10 ascertain the full number of domestic
sanimals in the country. There ARE sew
eral reasons for the one, being the dispo
sition among tax payers to minimize
their holdings liable to assessment. That
this is true is to be found in the great
difference in official returns and those
made to the agricultural department by
experienced correspondents.
still greater disparity between the
census figures and actual facts, so far as
domestic animals are concerned, is
traceabIe to the assumption that
these are confined to farms. This eX-
cludes from the number of horses re-
turned the hundreds of thousands of AMI
mails used for transportation, street cars,
livery stables, driving teams of men of
leisure, professional men, and in fact
everybody who is not a farmer. This
gIaring omission from the census of 1880
was intentional, and from the somewhat
fippant language IN which the subject
was dismissed by the then superintend-
ent the Importance of information under
this head was but slightly appreciated.
He says: AS regards the ANIMALS found
in the settled regions owned by
persons not occupying or oultivat-
ing farms, no attempt has been
made to frame an estimate of numbers. -
This omission includes in addition to
horses the very large number of milch
COWS owned by families not on farms, as
also the much larger number of pigs,
poultry and other stock. The gross in
adequacy of this course is emphasized
when it is seen that New York county,
including the city of New York, is credi-
ted with 207 horses, one mule, 29S mich
COWS and eIghty-one "Other cattle. -
In PHILADELPHIA county. Pa, were found
1922 horses only-nOt half as many as
owned by a single street car company in.
the city of Philadelphia. g
The above refers solely to domestic
animals that are subject to taxation, and
has no reference to the large numbers Of
horses, cattle and sheep owned by the
different Indian tribes. Any attempt to
ascertain the number of such holdings
would be abortive. II is TO be hoped
that the machinery for taking the census
Of 1890 will be so arranged that a more
definite idea of the number of domestic
animals in the United States will be given
by those who have the work in hand.

A GAZETTE reporter was talking to a
bunch of cattlemen yesterday, and dur
ing the conversation the subject of hog,
raising and bacon making in Texas was
brought up by Sam Hatcher, and it was
discussed by John Shelton, Jim Woods
and the others present. 1t was the opin-
ion of all present that the industry was
one that should receive more attention
by the farmers in the state.
''There IS no question that there is
money in it, - said Hatcher, "and for
my life l cannot see why more hogs are
not raised in the state. Texas Is well
adapted to the growing of those products
on which hogs fatten quickly and thrive
well. There is no better food for fatten-
ing hogs than sorghum, and besides this
oats and corn are prolific crops here, andi
ali the immense surplus could not be bet
ter used than in feeding it to hogs.
There is no reason, joined IN John
Shelton, ''why money cannot be made in
Texas on hogs. They mature quick and
thrive remarkably well here. The dis
eases peculiar to hogs appear with less
frequency in Texas than in any other
state l know Of Every farmer should
raise hogs enough to make his own bacon
and have some over to sell. If this was
as that now goes North for the purchase
of bacon and lard. A hog of a good
breed will sell for more now if it is in
good condition than two-Year-old
steer. 1 see that buyers are paying in
this section of the state So cents, and
hogs are hard to get at that
''I am glad to see, - said Jim Woods,
q that the subject of raising hogs and
making bacon in Texas is being apitated
and hope the results will be what they
should be. 1 know from personal expe-
rience that hogs can be raised and bacon
made as successfully in Texas as in any
other section. The old idea that this
climate is not favorable to curing bacon
is all nonsense. 1t is foolishness to send
out Of Texas money for those articles of
food that can be produced here. Bacon
can be made by the well-known sailing
and smoking process in Texas just as well
as elsewhere.

Players generally marry in their own FRO
fcssion. This occurs not only among stock
actors but among stars. The drama cannot
boast Of matrimonial felicity even in the
moderate degree enjoyed by other Glasses, but
there are a few instances Of an exceptional
character, among which Garrick stands prom
inent. Maeready married q young actress
who played Virginia with him, and their
union was os favorable as his irascible tenn
per would permit.
The Chanfraus were united couple. and
yet both were professional players and acted
together with much success. Edwin Forrest
married a young actress named Catherine
Sinclair, daughter Of public singer Of some
note IN London II may be remembered
that after she had beaten her faithless hus-
band in the divorce case she went on the
stage, but did not reach success in the drama.
Tom Hamblin married Miss Medina, who
was an accomplished writer OF farces and
small dramatic pieces.
Edwin Booths FIRST wife, though not a star,
was an excellent actress; his second was the
daughter Of a theatrical manager. His
brother, Junius Brutus Booth married an
actress, and might refer to other illustra-
tons Of this peculiar fact It is very reason
able that these alliances should take place. as
the parties are constantly thrown into each
others society, and at the same time ex-
cluded from that of outside circles.
Star players Of good repute may enter first
Gloss society, but the number thus admitted
is small. 1r. and Mrs. Charles Kean, and
also Macroady, Tooth, Frederick Paulding
and Henry Irving may be mentioned among
the small list Of favored names Hence tie
profession is, TO large degree, shut UP to
itself for society, and intermar1iages follow
as g natural result Gro instance is tho mar

Of Louis James, but retains her maiden
