Brencby Cattle.

Allegheny county, Va, January 4, 1898.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
have seen an article in your paper
Of the 3lst in regard TO a law against
breachy stock. The gentleman says that
in his county, and in adjoining counties
las in Allegheny and adjoining countles)
the greater part of the area is In wood
lands and that stock Is allowed by the
owners to run at large. TO get the oenent
of the grange" as 1t is called, and that
the stock acquire the habit of going any
where they please, regardless OF fences
&c, &c.
| can't imagine what kind of law TINS
gentleman is looking for. 1t can't be that
he wants a law TO make all owners Oh
stock 10 keep them inside their own en-
cIosnres such a law would kill the cat
tle and sheep-raising in this part OF the
State and, from what he says 1t would
he much the same in his section OF the
country. think if my friend Will examine
tho fence law of Virginia, he VIII ma a
Mace of refuge for him and all others
who want protection against breachy
stock.
I will say right here, the greatest OBJ
lection I have TO the law Is that it takes
foo much elbow-grease or labor 10 put II
nronerly into effect. The first thing II
reouires YOU to do is to build your FENCES
Of different kinds, so many feet and
inches high. cracks so wide, so strong
&c &c. After this is done, any stock
that gets inside of any such enclosure may
he nut up and kept until the owner OF 1t
NAYS all damages. &c. But the beauty
and consolation of this law Is that when
we get our fences anyways near up 10
the letter Of the law, our trouble IS at an
emo. and we have good stock and friendly
neighbors. -.
All the stock law we need in this part
Of the State would be to have an act re-
ouirjng all owners of male stock OF any
kind to keep them inside OF their own
enclosure This would be sure 10 I'M
prove the quality Of our stock Of all
kinds. This would give person VINO
wanted to improve his stock chance TO
do so. but as IT is now, male stock or
all kinds. except horses, are allowed 10
run at large. A stock law requiring all
male stock to be kept up would give
every person a chance to breed what they
want and l don't think there are many
who will object to such law.
Yours very truly, "A fAhAiEH'

condition precedent 10 recovery upon the
ss.ne. was reached by the Senate Finance
committee on Tuesday, but was passed
nv until future meeting.
There is very strong disposition on
sbe mart Of members to pass this Dill
Notwithstanding the fact that II IS ar
ened by some persons that as 10 existing
secorlties II may be construed by the
UNITED states courts as an act impairing
,be obligation OF contracts.
The bin provides that each owner OF
s,onds. notes. or other evidences Of debt
snail, list the same for taxation under
oath. and In default thereof the processes
Of our courts are to be denied the holder
for their collection. At present 1t Is the
practice Of many Taxpayers to list their
.nolcs and bonds in lump sums. And there
w. now law upon our statute-books. the
same IN effect as this proposed one ex-
opDt a. to requiring each separate bond
or note 10 be listed. But that law has
been dead-lettcr, almost. and we may

The Railroad Gazette has been invesu-
eating the amount of railway equipment
to be required in the first half of 1885, 1t
has received replies from railroads owning
67 per cent. Of the total freight-car equip
ment Of the country. These roads VIII
need little over $4,000 freight cars, and
it is estimated that $500 cars will be re-
quired within the next half year. Ihis
is within 1900 of the total number of cars
built in 1896. These roads report need
for 2iS engines. and it is assumed that
all lines will require 400. This does not
include railroads in Canada or in Mexico
where there will be considerable de-
mand.
In the year 1897, 1,251 locomotives and
43,5SS freight cars were built. This was
less than the number built in 1896, but
more than in 1895. The largest output OF
cars was in 1890, when 10000 were built.

According to the New York Journal OF
Commerce the fire loss of the United
States and Canada for the year 1897,
shows a total of $ll0,Sls650. The follow
ing comparative table shows the losses
for the years 1895. 1896, and 1897: 1895,
sl29 S39 700; 1896, $l5655,5OO; 1897, $llOSl9,65O
During 1897 there were zoos fires where
the estimate loss in each case amounted
to not less than $4,000, and the largest
loss by any one fire was 100000 at
Pittsburg, Pa, in May.
The Journal further says:
Fire underwriters Jared exceedingly well
in 1897, and it was. in fact, one of the
best years they have ever experienced.
The combination of increased rates and
reduced losses made their profits very
liberal. probably too much so. The gains
made have rendered them somewhat quar-
relsome among themselves, and vete-
ran underwriters prophesy rate fights in
various sections as a result.

The London papers, in announcing the
marriage Of Lady Anne Coventry and
Prince Dhuleep Singh, state thai the
courtship Of the Prince and Lady Anne
was marked by considerable opposition
upon the part OF the lady's family which
was mainly overcome by the Intervention
OF the Prince OF Wales.
why Albert Edward took such an active
mart in making this match Is not clear.
AS 10 that we ara left TO conjecture. in
view Of the fact that both the daddy and
the granddaddy OF Prince Dhuleep Singh
niaved fast and loose with Great Britain
Albert Edward may have thought thaS
the only way to insure the Princes
loyalty was TO put him under the inhu-
ence of an English wife. Then. again,
he may have thought that the Prince
ought TO be sent 10 Coventry as punish
ment for the sins against Britain Of his
fathers. Sometimes royalty has funny
reasons for engaging In matchmaking

Around me was the beauty
Which only summer yields:
The shadow of the woodland,
The bounty of the fields,
The CLEAN of shining waters,
The murmur of the sea-
The varied book of Nature,
All opened wide for me.
Amid these scenes of beauty
/ spied a pathway there,
All hoWerless and dusty,
All hard and brown and bare.
No dainty gown swept over,
No foot in dalliance strayed
Along the narrow limit
The tread of Toll had made.
Rut weary men and women
At morn and eve did pass
Beside the way unshaded,
Amid the sunburnt grass.
Their step was slow and heavy,
Their garments bore the soil
or the hard worlds grim work-day-
They walked the way or Toll.
So close against our pleasure
Is the undertone OF Care,
ar those who, all unsheltered,
The heat and burden bear.
And the fair summer memory
Sweet harvest 20 me Yields,
