In Texas, United States, tbere is a man, a native of Kentucky, named Samuel Allen, who is said to be the greatest cattle-raiser iu the world. On one of his farms, which embraces an area of eighty milea long and forty wide, extending to three counties, he has a herd of 120,000 cattle. Oh two other farms he has nearly as large a a herd, making a total of 225,000 head of cattle, all fattened on the native grasses. Besides these he has 3000 horses. Sixty thousand calves are branded . every year to keep up the supply.

Dr Begg, who has been giving his New Zealand experience in England, in the course of one of his addresses said-— 'New Zealand was a paradise for the working classes, where they could soon become landlords. The country was mountainous, undoubtedly, but there were also splendid extensive plains, in which were large sheep runs, possessed by men who had left this country with nothing. Highlanders succceeded amazingly there. The aristocracy of New Zealand, in fact, might be Baid to be the Highlanders. He visited one grandson of a Highlander who had half a million sheep, and another who possessed 125,000 sheep. He had heard of two Highlanders who had taken their stand on two mountains, and each asked Government for a lease of all the land they could see. They obtained the leases, and now both were wealthy men. So successful were Highlanders that a Chinaman, making application for employment, called himself Macgtlvray. The people were astonished, and asked him the meaning of a Chinaman being called by such a thoroughly Highland name, and he replied, ''No use making applicatien except Scotchman." At the Higbgate Police-court, on March 9, Emma Bradshaw, a laundress, was charged with assaulting her husband with a flat-iron. He had provoked her by saying that she was " like a Staffordshire bull-dog — all jaw." Six thousand men, with brooms and shovels, were stationed on the four hundred miles of railway between St. Petersburg and Moscow to keep the line clear of snow for the train containing the Czar, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and other notables. The _V-_6* York Herald of February 26 reports a shocking occurrence in the State of Vera Cruz. The inhabitants of two towns quarrelled, and had a pitched battle, in which 17 persons were killed and many injured. The vanquished townsmen returned in the night reinforced, and, breaking into the houses of their opponents, commenced au indiscriminate massacre, killing the children and mutilating the women. A regiment of soldiers had been sent to check the massacre.
