But, in the way that they are inwoven with the greatness, the genius, the poetry, the the count as also in length and con tinuity of service, no one has its equa Europe. The Jcity which possesses e has at once a dignity of their own; need we think of St. Paul's and the ple, the Guild-hall and the Pala Westminster, the Parks, the bridges and the docks, to believe that we are truly ens of no mean city. Neither mud, nor smoke, nor stucco—neither vestries nor railwi an make London mean, For in the mass, in the antiquity, in the historic splendor of her national monu- ments, in the halo which the heroism, the crimes and the imagination of eight cen- turies have shed over them, London re- mains to the thoughtful spirit the most venerable city of the modern world. And now, it seems, London has an Aidile. We have no Minister of the Crown who conceives it to bo part of his duty to preserve, cherishand open to the public our great public monuments. 1t belongs to our national habits that an h Minister of Public Works should regard his office as a sort of sudut{ for the preservation of ancient buildings rather than as a syndicate for the destruc- tion and transformation of ancient citi which is the fixed idea of the Continental Haussmann. These Attilas and Genghis Khans of modern society, with the aid of the railway and building companies who form their natural allios, are rapidly achieving the Haussmannization, and, not | ¥ only of Paris, but of Rome, Vienna, Milan, Florence and every medimval city of Europe. It is a comfort to think that, while Prefects, Mayors and Town Councils everywhere on the Continent are secking to make their cities a fair imitation of New York, our First Commissioner of Works is oceupicd in preserving to us our ancient monuments in the form in which they were built. And it is not a little curious thaf busy about the preservation of all three of our great monuments. He has just revealed to us what Westminster Hall was in the days of the Normans. He has still before him the cruel problem of re- facing the Abbey. And now he is show ing us the Tower—not alas! as it was when it still served the Tudor Kings as a palace, but freed from the eyesore with which the stupid vandalism of the last hundred years had loaded it. The tower is the oldest of the three great monuments of London, and assur- edly 1t stands at the head of all buildings of its order in the world. It is the most perfect extant example of a feudal castle of the first class, continually used as a fortress by the same dynasty, and s a seat of the same government since the times of the Crusades. It is, in fact, the only civil building in the world whichcan show the longest and most splendid his- tory. The Pantheon at Rome, a few of the greut Basificas, the Byzantine church of the Holy Wisdom, and a few religious buildings on the continent, can show a longer life, but there is no civic building, being neither a ruin nor a restored ruin, but still a greatseat of government,which can show so vast a record. The Tower of London has entered upon the ninth cen- tury of its continuous life in the service of the English crown. When the White Tower first rose beside the Thames, as the buttress and symbol of the Conquest, the nations we call France, Germany and Spain did not exist. It had already seen centuries of great and memorable things before the oldest of the palaces and halls of Europe had their foundations laid. Men talk of the traditions of the Krem- lin, the Vatican and the Escurial; but the first half of the wild century of the as bound up them has Tower was over before a stope was laid cf these vast piles. The races who raised the fantastic domes of Moscow or the minerets of Constantinople were wander- ing herdsmen and robber tribes in Asia, when the tower was the home of the most powerful kings in Europe, aces of state of Veni and Bruges , Ghent o traditions of great an- tiquity, and are memorable sources of art, romance and poetry, But their real life has closed for ages; the little now but monuments or mus The tower, which began 8o long before them, has outlived them all in permanent vital- ity. The descendant of the conqueror is still mistress of the white tower, which for 800 years has guarded the symbols of our national power, Itis true that in point of picturesque beauty, the, tower must yield to some of its younger rivals, It is not the mountain-like grandeur of the palace of the popes at Avignon, nor the fairy beauty of the Doge’s palace Venice, nor thé sky-line of the old pala at Florence, or of the castle at Spragu. much 1 it the weird impressivencs of that skeleton of castles, the upper city of Carcassonne, or the piles of Loches, Chinon and Angers. The glory of the tower of London? lies in its matchlo historical record, Carcassonne has been [ ruin now for six centuries; the civie palaces of Ttaly, Germany and the Netherlands had a his tory at most for a few hundred yem and Avignon records but an o the career uf lh of sery builc luw <»f ull nlh nlum!iv approacl er is that frag Cape Kings beside the Seine, whi survives under the name of the C e, of which the Palais de Justice is med Court of Justice, and of in hacy, seventy years and vice, Tl which in historic ity which _the Sainte ( 3t.

Colonel J, P. Addington, one of the largest cattle raisers of tho southwest, is in the city and is stopping at the South ern hotel. In conversation with a re porter this morning on the subject of the stock raising busjness in Texas, ho said “Prices are a little down this year, but wo never complain, _Last cattlo brought from 832 to §41 Now we are selling at about an aver £30. “Where is your ranch, Colonel” the reporter. n talking about it we generally say that it is in the region about Gainesville, Texas, but it is not 80, because wo keop our cattle just across the Red river in the Indian territory. The herd occupies a territory of about 775 square miles, part- ly in the Chickasaw nation and partly in the Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches. It is hardly lawful for white people to go over into the Indian territory, but we have an understanding with the Indians and they never trouble us, and we are not molested by any other authority. Our headquarters are now about sixty miles southeast of Fort Sill. There are ranches on all sides of us. My brother, Washington Addington, is located just of me. He has 28,000 cattle. . C. Saggs on the other side, has 18,000, and Stones have a large herd in that lo- " said cality also,” “How many have you on your ranch?” About 53,000. We are selling the steers all the time, but the herd contin ues to increase very rapidly, as the cows are never killed or driven away so long s they are young. The steers at threo ears old are ready for market, and Seldom keep any number of them over till another year. We can get about 8} cents a pound live weight for them at insville, a drive of about 76 miles from the ranch. We sometimes drive to Hun- newell, Kansas, a distance of about 100 miles.” ““What breed of cattle areraised mostly in that country?” ““The long-horned southern Texas cat- tle mostly, but we are constantly intro- ducing new blood and experimenting on different breeds. The Herefords and the Durhams have been introduced quite largely and with some success. The long-horn is the steer for that - country, however. He can live through a hard winter and come out as fly as a young coltin the spring, and by the first of June he is as fat as butter and ready for mar- ket. If bred too highly he can’t stand the winter well and_they will come out too poor in the spring. . The well- cattle are too tender and sometimes sick- en on the drive. I find that from one- quarter to one-half bred Hereford with the long-horn southern Texas makes about the best suited to that climate. These long-horns were introduced on the coast by the Spanish 200 or 300 years ago. The climate suits them exactly and they flourish down there.” “How does your southwestern beef compare in the market with our Illinois and Missouri beef?" ‘“‘Last year we sold within half a cent of it on the New York market; at present there is a greater difference. We might place it at from three-quarters to a cent. But we never look at a trifle like that. It don’t count much in our business. Our profits are quite satisfactory, any- how. ““About what is the estimated cost of raising cattle in your locality?”’ “All told, 81 a head will pay the ex- pense.

A well-known member of the stock association, in con- versation with the writer, said: *“We are 80 situated at present that a drop in the cattle market, when we commence our heavy shipments, would have a very de- pressing influence upon business. — For- tumm-ly weare so situated that we don’t o sell any cattle unless wo so de- We will sell the beef steers but, there will not be the desire to sell every- thing in the meat line, as there was last year. Cows, calves and steers shipped to market and brought price. This at once encouraged numbers of capitalists to embark in tl tle bus- iness. The eastern states were cleaned out of cattle and brought west. Infact, the tendency has been to overdo the bus- iness of late, and a reaction must sarily follow. I do not think, that the market will be overrun with as compared with former years. { ST e DWAHFS OF THE PAST.

A fow sec- onds later a school of fish struck the ap- paratus which is placed in the flume to turn sticks of timber over the edge of the flume, and being suddently defected, fell over the workmen, The water was fa rly bristling with trout and suckers, ) they came in irregular numbers, about six inches long, and all alive. Nunr]y a ton of fish fell under the flume, and the workmen took them away in a basket. A ton of fish in half an hour is about the It is believed that they were crowded into the supply pond of the flume by the storm, and then driven into thetlume in bunches of say two or three dozen in a bunch.
