A Tariff on Animals.

MEXICO, Sept. G.-The Mexican govern.
ment has revised article OF its customs
tariff, wherein living animals are made
free OF duty, and has imposed heavy
duties on imported cattle, swine, sheep,
mules and goats, a measure that can not
fail to have most disastrous effect on the
business Of supplying this city with meat
from the United States. This business
has already grown to large proportions,
and the railway companies have provided
special stock and refrigerator cars to meet
the growing wants of this profitable trade.
Now the government steps in and placed a
duty of 10 cents per kilogram on fresh
meat and SO on each beef animal, ". .25 on
pigs, ~ on mules and So cents on sheep
This goes into effect November |.

The Metal Market,

Chamberlain & Cos circular dated the
4th inst. says:
Copper drifts along without any special
changes except such as may be working
in the crystalization of the vast scheme OF
salvation for the copper producers. Little
! by little this plan advances to its compile
ton. The Cape Copper Co. and others
have signified their willingness to restrict
production and the holders OF the surplus
agree to market only one-fifth of their
stock per annum, which will be about SO,
900 tons and viii be provided for by the
respective production. The total stock
outside OF the Barings is estimated as fol-
lows: Baron Hirsch 10000 tons, the
bank OF Paris, 5000 tons, the RothS-
childs, 10000 tons, and the bank Of
France, 10000 tons. 1t is presumed that
the Rothschilds will use up all their stock
in less than two years since they now own
the mills Of the Societe and consume over
100000 lbs. OF copper per annum. At
New York the entire lake pool is to be
sold through Mr.. Rath, while the Balti-
more Co. will control all casting brands,
and the policy will be managed by com
Inittee having very broad authority and
consisting of Col. Livermore OF the Cau-
met, Mr., Stanton Of the Atlantic, and Mr..
Keyser who represents the Anaconda.
One very special feature OF the situation
in lead is the active demand for all sorts
and kinds OF outside uses of lead. The
electrical demand grows apace, while
literally thousands of tons are being put
under ground for subterranean wires. It's
confessed that the white lead makers
have been buying very sparingly for sixty
days, and the shot trade has lust COM
menced, so that if these two wants are to
be filled more freely in September and
October we shall very possibly see higher
prices. The Mexican ore decision IS at
present in complete allegiance, owing to
the vacation OF Sec. Window.

For Ambitious Boys

A hey is something like a piece OF
iron, which, in its rough state, isn't
worth much use; but the more pro-
ccsses it is put through the more
valuable it becomes. A bar of iron
that is Gully WORTH twelve dollars
when 1t is made into llorse-shoes
and attic, it goes through the differ
II processes by which it is made in
to needles its value is increased to
three hundred and fifty y dollars.
Made s.to penknife blades it would
be worth three thousand dollars. and
put Into balance wheels for watches,
two hundred and fifty thousand doll
ars.

o that is comparatively worthless

But the iron has 10 go through a

N hard study the better materia, you
will make.
The iron doesn't have to go through
half so much to be made into horse

An Iron Race. Horse.
A LOCOMOTIVE CAPABLE OF A SPEED or
SEVENTl-EICE MILES AN HOUR.

\ locomotive. invented and patent
ed by a Hungarian, NJ. Ala Besthy.
Is announced as II startling novelty i'm
railway engineering. According to
The patentee, the ordinary speed of
this engine is to he Is miles an hour,
and will admit of being increased by
l! miles IN hour. NJ. Besthy encases
his engine and tender in Il shell of
thin iron, with the sides parallel and
tarered off in front, somewhat re-
sembllnS Il plOw share, and presenting
smooth surfaces. Where great speed
is no absolutely required. but rather
the pulling OF a very heavy train, this
engine is claimed to be specially
adapted by reaso of the enormous
power it is capable of generating.
This power is secured, the oatentec
contends, by tw" boilers 16t feet long,
u barrels Of which stand u
above the other, 29S tuoes.
" pairs Of cylinders 15f-inch diam
eter BY l9} inch stroke, and driving
wheels 9 feet 81 inches in diameter.
1t might be contended that the total
length of engine and tender is ex-
:csn'e: oclHS 10 Ieet, ana the weight
III working condition-9l4 tons-far
too great; but this, it is claimed, is
obviated by placing the front of the
engine on Il four wheeled bogie. and
coupling the four driving wheels. This
provision prevents, it is also hoped.
too great a stress on the rails, and with
the extra large wheel base, the engine
is capable Of taking without difficulty
a curve as sharp as 6 chains radius.
Ii this engine proves a success-as it's
patentee expects-the consumption of
fuel, Oh account of diminished air re-
slstancc, will fall to a point hitherto
%unthought of: Although this new en-
CINE and tender will be II tons heavier
n ~ feet longer than any at present
running, the permanent way would, it
Is urged, be quite strong enough,

The Poor Farmer.

The following article vas published
in t e !Soxthern Planter, but will bear
REPETITION: A farmer tells us that the
other day he found a brother farmer
in u mighty had way. He said that
he had actually come to the conclu-
sion that a man conld not make a
living by farming in this country.
and if he conld find anybody to give
his land to he was going to hunt IA

"Have tried Z" he said, with q
look that Indicated that l was a fool

"Why, | have worked myself and
folks nearly to death, and we have
been getting poorer every year."
"Ti'at is strange" said I; "some
people do make a living right here in
this country"
He replied, as he stopped to get a
chip to whittle ~ carried my cotton
to town the other day, and when l
went to square mp l was left in debt
for meat and bread and guano for last
year. WI all worked hard and have
nothing left, and we are ALWAYS in
debt. This is no country for a poor
man."
His voice trembled and he seemed
in a power Of trouble. 1t made me
feel real sorry, for he was a hard
working fellow.
Said |, "How do you manage, Zeb?
Do you have Il good garden and have
plenty of vegetables in their season ?
Looking down at his feet, he re-
piled edo you reckon l amt got
nothing to do but paddle around in IA
