FEEDING A BIG CITY.
What II Requires to victual the City of
New York.

From Good Housekeeping.
The business of producing and providing food
for mankind furnishes livelihood to a ma
jority Of the race. Generals in command of
armies Of 10000 or $1,000 men have been
brought to ignominious defeat and fight for
the lack Of power to supply them with food;
and yet o population of two-and-a-half million
people in and around New York is supplied
with food every day and for every meal from
all parts OF the world. Ten thousand head of
cattle are slaughtered every week to provide
New York with beef, and that is not more than
one-half of the beef th:.t is consumed there
Some OF the beef comes in on foot; the rest in
refrigerator cars from the west. Swine are
brought in dressed; but sheep are all killed in
the city. The greater part of the fresh fish
supply of the city comes in refrigerator cars
from Boston and Gloucester the rest comes to
the markets in fishing boats. Enough fish is
kept ahead in the cold storehouses to last the
city two or three weeks
The vegetables come from almost every
where. Lettuce is mainly brought from near
Boston, where one firm ships $1,000 worth of
it each year. Enormous amounts of celery
come from Kalamazoo, Mich. The south sup
plies the early vegetables, and some Of them
come from Florida. They come on refrigera-
tor cars, and because they can be safely
shipped and easily kept they no longer COM
nudHu laDuIOuS prices. But tne Dulk OF tne
green vegetable business is still done in the old
way by farmers who come in from their places
five to thirty and more miles away and sell their
produce from their wagons Some of them
start in the afternoon and drive all night, often
sleeping in their wagons, and only waking when
their trained horses have brought them to the
ferries at and O'Clock at night. The Ganse-
WORT market is the only place where they are
allowed to expose their "truck' for sale in the
city, and there it is sold to dealers In sum-
mer time as many as 5000 wagons day are
driven in.
The cattle on thousand hills daily contrib
ute the milk that New York consumes the next
day. The farmer gets from one and one-half
to two and one-haf cents quart for it and the
consumer pays eight and ten. The difference
is divided among the railroads. commission
merchants and peddlers, the latter getting
several cents quart. One of the curious
things of the provision business is that eggs
laid in Holland and Germany get to New York
in less time than from some western states and
are actually cheaper than fresh eggs laid in
this country. the reason being that they are
rated as ''limed eggs"

Queer Fish In Hampton Roads.


To-day stood at the desk of one of our
large hotels and listened to the following fish
stories, and have come to the conclusion that
either they have some very queer fish in the
briny waters Of Hampton roads or that the Vir-
gilman who told them was pretty clever fab
ricator.
You never saw balloon fish," queried the
Virginia gentleman of the clerk mo. never
did; never even heard of one before" II
never saw but one, and that one l caught while
fishing off the dock at Newport News, within
almost stones throw of where the hulk of
the old war ship Cumberland is said to repose.
When / landed the fish on the dock it was just
an ordinary-looking fish, but found before
got the hook loose from its mouth that it was
swelling. became so excited that forgot to
throw my hook and line back into the water.
The fish kept swelling, and finally became as
round as ball. l was more astonished when
its hide began to crack and it became evident
to me that 1t was on the point of bursting. 1t
seemed to be suffering great pain. AS l did not
care to witness the suffering longer pushed
it off the dock with my foot. No sooner had it
struck the water than it regained its normal
condition and shot out of sight like flash.
/ learned from man who said that he knew
that the balloon fish could not live many min
utes out of the water; that they inhale the air
but were unable to exhale it, and therefore, in
its efforts to breathe it congested, until it was
hide could withstand Sooner or later it was
bound to burst, unless replaced in the water.
"We have another kind of fish called a tailor.
They bite. / remember the first one of that
species ever caught. was taking the hook
from its mouth, when bystander said: Look
out It'll bite your Lpaid no attention to the
remark. No sooner had taken the hook from
his mouth than the fish gave flop and i'm
bedded his teeth an eighth of an inch in the
end of my finger.
There is fish down there which is called a
croaker. 1t makes a noise when out of water
similar to that made by frog, hence its name
Another species We have is the hog-fish. This
is small fish which grunts, and the noise made
by it is not unlike that of pig.
81 think the most loathsome-looking fish l
ever saw is what is commonly known as the
toad-fish. remember catching one of this
class. 1t very much resembles toad about the
head and face. 1t is said to bite, and its bite
is said to be poisonous. The boys never attempt
to take hook from the mouth of one of these
fishes with their fingers. The process is to run
a stick into the mouth, placing the foot on the
stick and cutting the hook out with knife"

THE INDIANAPOLIS AGENT OF THE CONNECTICUT
MUTUAL LIFE DEFAULTER.

THE INDIANAPOLIS AGENT OF THE CONNECTICUT
MUTUAL LIFE DEFAULTER.
Col Jacob L. Green. president of the Con-
neeticut mutual life insurance company, of
Hartford, stated last night that Joseph A.
Moore, financial correspondent of the company
for sixteen years at indianapolis. and leading
citizen of that place. is a defaulter. The ex-
treme amount involved, Col. Green said, was
S5O0,0GO. Mr.. Moore has restored to the COM
pany property that may reduce the actual loss
to 100000. Speculation was the cause of the
defalcation, which ives made up of the princi-
pal of loans paid to Moore by borrowers to be re-
mitted TO the company; interest paid to him
for the same purpose. and rents collected by
him on real estate in his care. Moore had the
entire confidence of the officers and directors
of the company. He is forty-fve years old
The defalcation will not interfere with the
company's business.

Reading Irish Leaders Speeches.

JUDGE HANNEN IN DESPAIR OVER NEW TURN IN
THE PAaSELL PROCEEDINGS.
Before the Parnell commission. in London.
yesterday, Inspector Rogers deposed that he
searched the house of Mary O'Connor, the sec
rotary of the ladies' land league at Athlone.
Miss O'Connor's accounts disclosed expendi-
lures for the defense of prisoners charged with
outrages.
Sir Henry James here announced that he
wanted to read extracts from speeches pro-
duced in court.
Sir Charles Russell said he wanted all of Mr..
Psrnelrs speeches read, and not extracts
Justice Hammer. seeing that Sir Henry James
had pile of speeches before him a foot high.
entreated the counsel to consider how To
shorten the reading of them. Il would take
many days TO read them all he said and what
would be the advantage?
sir Henry James proceeded to read extracts
from a speech by Mr.. Biggar in October. 1880.
Mr.. Biggar, interrupting, said he would not
have extracts; he was anxious to hear the whole
speech. which was well worth reading.
Sir Charles Russell emphasized Mr. Biggar's
desire, and Sir Henry James was compelled to
accede. After reading for some time his voice
failed. and he was cOurteously relieved by Mr.
Lockwood, OF the Parnellite counsel

Browning's CoMrtship.

FROM the Boston Traveller.
1t is rather startling to see journal in the
modern Athens gravely announce that Brown
ing wrote Lady Geraldine's Courtship' in two
consecutive hours" As it was written by Eliz-
abeth Barrett some years before she became
Mrs. Browning it is not quite clear how il
should be ascribed to her husband. 1t was
moreover, written by Miss Barrett in twelve
hours, which, though six times the 'two hours
OF our Boston contemporary, was so swift that
the production will always be recorded among
the exceptional literary achievements.
In this poem, written by Miss Barrett before
she had ever seen her future husband, she al
ludes to a book of poems he had Just pub
lished under the title of BELLS and Pome.
GRANTEES" in a line that runs:
down in the middle,
Shows heart within. blood tinctured, of yeined
humanity.
1t Is related that the first meeting between
Miss Barrett and Mr.. Browning was brought
about by his calling to thank her for this ailu
sion TO his poems.

satisfaction at being able to affirm that the
presence of Mr.. Phelps in England had been

Mr.. Phelps, who was enthusiastically greeted.
said that during his four years stay in England
he had felt how kindly were the sentiments
that EnShshmen entertained toward his
countrymen. His relations with successive
English governments had always been fortunate
and cordial. The existence of good feeling be-
tween the peoples of Great Britain and America
gave assurance of continued harmony The
time was long past when kings could involve
nations IN hostilities to crafty their own reck-
less ambition and caprice. There could be no
war between civilized nations now unless
backed by their peoples. Before nations
