A traveler who has been a dilijrent Mi»erw r of the things he has seen in t he various countries he has visited, states that mules are ecnemlly employed in a'l plhcos vv ere the inliab'tants belong to one of the Latin races, but that horses sire used where the people are of the Ani>do->n\on race. He declares tliat climate has very little to do with deter mining whether mules or horsesshall lie selected for doing vv«>rk on farms or as ^■ea-ts of burden in towns. Mules are very common in all the countries bor d rine on the Mediterranean Sea. not I e ause the climate is more favorable to these menials than to horses, but be cause the Portuguese. Spaniards. Ital ians, Turks and Arabs take kindly to them. They are scare- in Northern Europe, not for the reason tliat the cli mate is more favorable to horses, bnt been s the people are prejudiced against mules without cansIn this country he lound many mules in the Southern Steles, ami comparatively few in the North. He w a< informed that this state of things was due to dille cnee of cli mate. mules doing l etter in the South and horses in the North. He noticed, however, tliat the race of the person u<ing bca ts of burden had much to do in determining w ether horses or mules | win* j»u i' rn '•• uta riiiiiu hi mu iuu* elusion that mules were common in the Southern am! Southwestern portions ol the c urtrv for ti e reason that many of the people were of French and Spanish extract on. Neither they nor the ne groes had any prejudice against the nin e. \ ankees and I nglishmeti who engaged in fa ming m*transportation in the Sout'i generally discarded rattles nit 1 sub-titnt d lens s in their places. As in p* ace so in war. English and American sold ers dislike to ha e mules n! out a camp and in a train. They in variably tind fault with them and gen erally abuse them. I hey praise the noi lc horse, but goo the mule a bad name. Tl e\ declare that the mule is posse scil of all the vices hut of none of the virtues common to brutes. They accuse it of b ■ ng obstinate and vicious, and altogether wanting in gralit de. af fection, kindness and intrlhgi nee. 1 hey would be h« artily ashann d to beat a horse, but they have no scruple about pounding and kick tig a mule. Nothing is ever done with a view of developing the l>i t cr qualities in the mule, as is the case with the h >rse. l ew seem to think |t at the mule pos-csses any good quali ties. Soldiers in the Latin countries, however, are partial to the mule. Strange as it may appear, they just mules and they are favorites in the earnp and march. <>n ace tint of the treatment it receives it is docile, affec tionate ami well behaved. Mules do not have a bail reputation in Southern Kurope or in the neighboring portions of Asia and Aft i -a. Th y d > not have as go al < arc and feed as horses do for the reason that grain and fodder is scarce, and they can stand much poorer fare and still endure much fatigue and do a large amount of hard work. There is probably « otisiderable t ilth in the conclusions of this traveler that are founded on observation. The mule is not a favorite among the people of Northern Kurope and their descendants in this and other countries. Quite likely they have an aversion to it without cause. If this is the ease, thev should learn to overcome a foolish prejudice that interferes with the economy of such important industries as farming and transportation.— Chicago Times. Nuptial Customs Abroad. In Bavaria the peasant girl tells hor love, and aft r the engagement dunce her mother relieves her of all house work and sets about fattening her up for the wed ling-day. Though relieved of dottiest e cares, she is by no means idle, and finds the days and long nights too short for linish ng iter sewing, which includes dresses and under clothes, sheets, pillow-slips, quilts, mats, tidies, table-linen anl? stockings enough to last her for a dozen years Any fantastic sroo Is will make her, toilet, but be the color or fabric what it will a veil is indispensable, with a wreath of orange blos-oms and a little satin pillow on which the wedding ring is carried. The cushion is usually about e'ght in lies square and radiantly dec orated with embroidery or bead-work, in which a'l the village maidens have a finger, if but to do a single stitch. The Russian 1 ride wears a trou scan of blue, with a short, full veil fastened on the hair vith a wreath of silver leaves, which may be made of solid silver or tine wire, but wh re ties extravagance is beyond the means of the bride, silver paper or tin-foil is substituted, unles- a coronet is plaited with silver ribbon. Iii the ceremony two rings aroused, t lie bride decorating her husband after ac cepting his ring. An Australian groom Has to lace tlie village maidens, who force him to run a shower of spear-shaped arrows. Jn farther India the couple are married while seated on a circular matting placed in the sun. All the girls in t''e place constitute the bridesmaids. Ka h carries a stall’ bound with blue and lin ished at the end with a bunch of fiery red feathers. They dance round the happy couple who are not permitted to ri-e till the girls have ex! austed their voc d selections and are too tired to vary their graceful motions. An Egyptian bride wears a gorgeous robe of blood mi satin, embroidered with loses, birds of gay plumage, and graceful little cupids, thrown out into broad relief by outlines of silver thread or gold iace. The veil is carelessly draped over the left shoulder, so as to partially obscure her face from the view of the groom, and fastened on with a diadem of glit tering gems. In Natal the biid • wears a dress of feathers, with mctall.c flowers in her hair. She kneels on a brass wire mat, w.th a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. Her attendants, who are selected because of strong lung power, dance round her in circles, stamping, jumping, kicking any impe diment that comes in their way, and making the air resound with their hide ous screams. Jn some of the Barbary states the bride is confided to the care of her mother-in-law for forty-eight hours, in which time her lianils are painted with ugly figures and compli cated designs symbolic of the obstacles, d ttieulties and miseries that will cer tainly cross her path.—Chicago News. —“Mount Auburn,” in Cambridge, Mass., is not a very large cemetery, but it is a very beautiful one.

The latest importations of cloaks am large garments that may well be called ••upper dresses.’’ as they conceal the dress beneath them, and have moot of the new features of winter costumes; thu«, they are close and simply shaped al*out the waist, the hack of the skirt is full and very boufl'ant on the tournnre, and the sleeves are full and set high on the shoulders, no matter how they may lie shaped below. Two materials are combined in these great cloaks, and two folors in contrast appoa- in them pre cisely as they do in rich dresses; for in stance. green brocaded velvet is used for the skirt and aides of a cloak that has hcar-brown pla n velvet for the middle of the front and hack of the waist: and tins arrangement of mate rials is retreated in nnny other colors, such as old blue with seal brown, Titian red velvet with black lace, and also with many black brocaded velvets in which there are glimpses of red or yel low woven in the fabric. Prune-color, golden brown, and dull red are favori o . colors for rich cloaks that may l>e worn alike in the day or evening, for it is no ; longer a settled thing that a handsome cloak for visiting, church and day te ccptions must he black. Velvet is the chosen fabric for large wraps, and may be either plain or brocaded, and when two fab ics are used it is a matter of ta-te whether two kinds of velvet a'C employed or very heavily repped otto- , man silk takes the place of one or oth- j or. When only oue material is seen in the entire cloak, a good deal of rich trimming appears in passemente ie or- i naments on the front and back of the waist, or else around the neck and on the tournure just below tin- \\aist, who: e they are arranged in full plaits, tas-els, or bows to a Id to the bouffant effect. ; The high sleeves are variously arranged below the shoulders; sometimes they a e tlie aquae half-long sleeves wo n last winto \ in other east s they fall low down and open in the Oriental shape, while in others they are folded npwa d from the elbow to the hand, and the j a tn n s s upon them for a pleasant sup port The neck is trimmed \er\ full i and high with a standing band of fur. , or of feathers, or of many-pla ted laeo ruffles, or else of the rich chenille fringes. The trimming most usually i extends down the fronts ami down the middle of the back, b t in some cass there is so much fullness and weight in the pla ts of the material in the back that this lengthwise trimming is omit ted. and only an ornament is placed on ti e tournure. The lining now most in fa or l'o ■ all cloaks made of fabrics that ha e little warmth in themselves is quilted satin in preference to the plush and fur linings formerly use 1. This lining is ver\ lightly-quilted in diagonal lines to make it pliable. For cloaks of one fab ie plain l.yons velvet, ottoman -iik. or Sieilienne is used with fur, pas -cmenterie. feathers, or chenille trim mings. Harper's Bazar. Lunin? Anion? Farmers. We ean conceive of nothing more ttn ph asant than a litigious neighbor; aud wliere such a person abounds you are never certain that something may not turn up affording him an opportunity to indulge in his o 1'ensive propensity. He is always on the lookout to display h's determination to let the world se ■ ids knowledge of h's right - anil what is just ee. No man shall toh him of what belongs to him: and forthwith he be g ns a suit. He loses his ca-e, of course, but It ■ puts his neighbor t > one or two hundred dolin's of costs, as well as him scl'-, and so in the end his neigiibor lo es as much as he does. We know of notliingtliat causes so many breaches of good neighborhood as boundary lines and tree' along such lin s. It seems to have 1 ecu a common belief that the fruit of that portion of a tree at or near h m, extending its root, into a neigiibor's ground, and the branches of which also spread over his land, belong t> the neighbor; but in a recent ease in a neighboring btate it has b en decided to the contrary, and that the neighbor can actually come on to your premises and gather the fiuit, no matter what in oonvcnieiie • you mav suffer. Never theless, as there is nothing so uncerta n a- the law, we do not think that such is the law everywhere, or in many places; and, even if it is. it is by no means equity. Still, in the face of this decis ion, it was admitted that the branches of tiie trees overspreading your ground lonld he cut away and removed by the neighbor! The best course to pursue, especially bv farmers, is to avoid all misunder stand ngs. Kindly disposed people, who would rather suff er from injustice on the part of a neighbor than there should lie an unfriendly feeling between them, w II lind in the eud h >w much pleasanter it is. If a quarrelsome neighbor ehoo-es to brag that he al lows no man to get ahead of him, and how lie tixed his neighbor Smith; o", rather, how lie would have lixed li'm if he had not prompt y ‘'backed out,’’ let him brag to h's heart’s content, as it is highly probable that while Smith is sur rounded by kind friends, he has none, and that he has nothing else than acts 1 ke these to brag about.— (Jirinan oun Tvkf/ruph. -• ► Moorish Jealousy. Mr. A. G. Heaton, whose return to Paris ment'oned the oth r day, has in his studio the authentic portrait of a Moorish woman of the better cla>-s, and lie is one of the few painters who ever induced a Moorish lady to t ike off her veil in the presence of a Frank. As for their husbands, they would probably murder on the spot any artist who ven tured to ask for the permission to portray their wife's features</e visa. A striking example of this occurred to Heaton during his journey through Mo re1 eo. One of the grandees of the country hearing of his skill as a por traitist", sent for him, and asked him to paint the portrait of his favorite wife, whom he loved almost to madness, and whose lineaments he wished to preserve in case she died before him. He was willing to pay any price for the picture, if it was only a distant resemblance. Keaton said he should he but too happy to execute the order for the mere satis faction of pleasing his influential pa tron. “Well, then, set to work at once,” said the great man, “lose no time, and as soon as the portrait is fin ished bring it to me.” “All right,” said the artist, “you have only to bring the person to me and I will begin at once.” “What!” exclaimed the Moor, wrath fnlly, “you have the presumption to desire to’look upon my wife?” “How can you expect me to paint a person I have never seen?” inquired Heaton, in amazement. “Begone,” roared the jealous husband, “if I can not have the .portrait of my beloved without offering her to thy profane view, I prefer re nouncing' forever the pleasure I had promised myself!” And the portrait was not painted.’— Qalignam's Messenger. —It costs seven dollars a day to board Wiang, tfie Ciuuese giant.—*Y, /.

A subscriber at Superior, Neb., writes us to give an article upon this topic, and, although we have often d scnssed it, yet we must run tIn* risk of some repetition, that a!l our widely di-tribwt cd readers may tind the instrm t on their specialties require. Our correspondent is in Nuckolls County, which lies along the Northern border of Kansas, and is a line grazing county, having a nutritious pasturage, where sheep should thrive tinely, and be in proper condition at the beginning of cold weather for winter fattening for market. W hen drafts are to be ma le from a flock for fattening in winter, onlv the best feeders should he selected. Thin, unthrifty sheep should always he started by extra feeding upon |>asture, and this should be done early in fall. The extra food will then have l a much greater effect than in cold weather. When the fattening sheep have been selected, they should he sheltered in corrals. The best results from feeding can never be had in the open air during a cold winter, or in storms. Great regu larity in feeding and a uniform ration must be observed, if steady progless is to be made. Success in fattening sheep for market depends very largely unon the sheep to be fed, and therefore the exercise of the best judgment in the selections is most important. Our correspondent has, no doubt, large numbers of sheep to select from, which will give him the best facil ity for choosing sueee sful feeders. It is very important for regular feeders of sheep for market to establish a reputa tion for sending only the best fattened sheep to market. This reputation gives a standard value to his In and, greatly facilitates sales, secures top prices, and decidedly adds to the profits of the busi ness. Having selected the sheep for feed ing, and provided a proper shelter, v.c must determine the method of feeding for market. The details of this will de pend somewhat upon the length of lime the locality has been settled, whether the fodder consists of straw or hay. I With plenty of good hay, of cultivated I or wild grasses, corn alone may be suc cessfully used as the grain food. The hay will supply the lack of albuminoids in the corn. One pound to one and a half pounds of corn, according to size of the sheep, will bo reipiired, with what hay they will eat clean. This corn ration should he divided, hal given in the morning, and the other at four p. m. it trie teener lias goon trougns, the best way is to spread a thin layer of hay in the bottom of the trough, and then spread the corn on this, so that the she >p will eat some of the hay with the corn; this will cause most of the corn to be remastieated with the cud. If wheat bran and middlings are cheap er than corn, then feed one-half pound of these with one pound of corn. Should hay be scarce and straw plenty, straw may be successfully used to fatten sheep. But with straw s one very ni trogenous food must be given—such as one-half pound of oil meal with one pound of corn per day, and all the straw they will cat, with water regularly given. Oil cake or meal ought to be purchased at the western mills at about nejO per ton. But if oil meal is not to be bad at a reasonable price, then feed oats and corn half and half, or wheat middlings and corn. Buckwheat is often feu to sheep when cheap. The celebrated New York sheep feeder. John Johnston, often successfully fed buckwheat. The feeder can never feed too great a variety of food. It is a gord plan to mix three or four kinds of grain together for feeding sheep. Sheep arc fond of a variety of food, and will keep in better health an I fatten faster for it. But it is quite out of the question to give a definite ration to be given under all circumstances. The experienced eye of the feeder must be able to meet the circumstances as he finds them, and adapt the ration to the wants of his llock.—Nationil Live-Stock Journal. —Minnesota semis to Congress this year the first Scandinavian ever elected to the National Legislature.

The mystery of tho cat's character is probably'the cause of a vulgar antipa thy, but this is due to ignorance. '1 he , cat is not bound to furnish understand ing in order to avoid prejudice. It is too high minded to care. Many benev olent persons, fearful of the multiplica tion of the household eat. drown her kittens. ^o, from a limited tn st in Providence, many suppress populating. Some elegant families take a bag <-f kittens and distribute them in their ! drives. If they would let the mother I eat alone she would provide for them | without such cruelty. A cat blessed with a large litter docs not settle it on the family. At a proper time she will place her kittens among tin- neighbors, showing great discernment by her choice of places, and th v show great intelli gence bv remaining as placed. A society nioiner aoes not practice more consideration in tinding husbands i for her nine daughters than a mother- | eat in tinding situations for her niue j kittens. She will return to play with | each, and then leave it without any movement on its part to go back with her. The mystery and supeinatu: al part of the cat'arc very interesting, but its visible domestic qualities are admir- j able. Its modesty is exceptional among | animals. Its dignity, composure and | courage ave wonderful. It will repose j on the sidewalk, where at any moment ' its enemy, the dog, may come along, j serene in its confidence in its ability to | take care of itself. Kven little kittens do this. 'I he nssumpt!on is that the dog and cat arc natural enemies. The cal is too high minded to be a natural enemy to any mature. Such animals as it hunts it hunts for food, in which it shares the nobility of man; but it is con tented to have- its food without this trouble. The puppy and kitten brought up together will cat out of thesamed sh and w.ll make a very jolly family par ty. Taking thought of their prolilie habit, not yet repressed by fashion, the in ,uiry naturally arises, what becomes of the eats, that they do not overrun. •Judging by their character, it may be presumed that they go to the place pro- I vided for eats, where all is well with them. — < inciituuli Commercial-Ga~cllc. ■-• ► How a Physician .Managed to Obtain a Large Practice. The following story serves to illus trate'the love of the French people for the mysterious: A short time ago a Parisian doctor set up an establishment In the Faubourg Montmatrc. lie as sumed a high-sounding name, furnished his house in weirtl and fantastic fashion, engaged solemn-looking and taciturn servants, and announced that he could only see patients after the hours of mid night or in the gray dawn of the morn ing.
