I do not supposo that in the future there will be any such unions and reunions of business men as Ralston's. Without going there, a stranger had no adequate itnpressiou of the coast. At Ralston's board he saw the soul of tho coast, the inginery exposed, the cbecrful heart and great imagination which overcome obstaclos by the splend or of their combinations. The host all night was quiet and unobstrucsive, yet the animating presence and cause of tho assemblage, Now that he is dead, Lt Roi,est mort, but not yet Vive le Roi! The next day was Sunday. Belmont was empty of the crowd. I * ? ? i * 1 _ 11. .1 ^ _ arose at aayngui ana bu-uhuu ugum through the long suit of the lower floor, picked a book from the library, fondled the big dogs, discovered the mineral water aud tasted Now Almaden Vichy, Pacific Congress, Idaho soda and the salts of Saratoga; yet wo were all used up. One Englishmen-could only say, feeling his tem pies: "Stor'nary1 Most'stor'nary!"J We lay around the porches on Chinese | chairs, and felt the parch and thirst! entailed by too much riches. Rulston came down. He was in the hapit of feasting thus day after day. He cried out cheerily: "Down? Heigh? I know what ails you fellows. You waut some of the hair off the same dog that bit you last night. Tom 1" He made us a glass of something j potential to seek spirits at tbe bottom i of the well, where they had dropped and we hud ahDctite for breakfast? -- ?i-f A bird, a sole, toast, coffee. At the areakfast tablo wo were half a dozen. I bhere were Edgar Mills, bi other of; D. 0.: Captain Hart3horne, General Hutchinson and the two Britons. One of these ?Brereton, fine fellow? afterwards married an American lady and is still resident in California. The whole party took the big Kimboll wagon, hung on native leather between aP untifTA nok An Iiarl uvswo naui vu aou, uuu xvuiovvu uuu the reins, lour-in-hand- We dashed off through the country between the bay aod the sea, threading Spring Valley, whore were the dams to sup-! ply San Fiancisco with drinking water. The rich bay trees threw their branehos over the narrow roads, the glistening oaks shutiu the way. Our athletic driver brushed the branches asideand the mettled horses feeling his wish upon their strength, obevied his will. The California sun came out. Here and there we stopped for a reinintroduction to some neighbors whom he had met bel'ore: many places that we 6aw were more elegant than Ralslon's and it was annarent that he bad missed tbe greatest seasoning of) lifes enjoyments?an appreciation of woman at her best, in her disinterested and largo nature. He was married to a lady of abundant goodness and intelligence j but he was like the late Samuel Colt of Hartford, in this respect?ho had lived too athletic and masculine a life to form a just conception of waman as a friend and fellow miud. His pursuits were so wholly material that they shut the wife out of their secrets . Besides, it is rare flinfr. mnri'i'iirn roit.h an nrrrtaf, weilit.ll " ""b" " "" t3 " ~ as Ralston had is a happy choice. I remember that the homestead of D. 0. Mills was although a stitfer affair more domostic than Ralston's house , bis wife and children were parts of the walk and talk. It was not so elaborate, though moro beautiful tban Ralston's and better furnished, as to proclude the probability of a homo there. ? A German woman in Brooklyn, lately entered a crockery store and astonished the clerk by asking for "a leetlo Beecher." A little pitchor was wbat she wanted. A wife in Wyoming walked elevon miles to buy her husband a crockery spittoon painted blue and when she got homo he licked her for not having a clean shirt ready. An Englishman having been solicited tojoiit a Black Hills expedition; replied that "hit is better to bear the hills wo 'avo than fly to hothors that we know not of.'* "Trim your end of the boat, will you?" shouted captain to Paddy in the bow* "Shurc, I'll try captain," replied Pat, "but its a trimendous hard matter lo do it." ' Every tree is subject to disease,,' said a speaker in a fruit growers' convention. "What ailment can you find on an oak ?" asked the chairman. "A-corn," was the triumphant reply. A Philadelphia woman sworo that her husband's conduct was enough to "irrigate an augel." . <" .? ' . I A Visit to Thomas Carlyle. Down comes Thomas Carlyle from his sanctum into the hallway?a gray whiskered old man, with eyes half closed, as if pondering over some material abstraction and shuttf&g out the external world. He placed upon the table a Ioug clay pipe, from which he had been raising a cloud of smoke, and took up one of half a dozen felt hats, with as broad a brim as you see on a Coloradoranchmans head. His clothing was of the coarsest Scotch twill, and, like a Quaker's suit, was gray and of one color. His coat reached below his knees. "Uraphl Who are you?" he at l?nrrt.h Hftid. whon his hrnt.hfir rr>mar ked that somebody was standing near by. "Sir I am one of a multitude in America who, having read a few of your works, have long had a desire to call on you." After the usual courtesies, I explained to him that my wish in seeing him had now been gratified and that I would most respectfully bid him good afiornoon. Another grunt was the only reply. When bowing my way out, he stopped me with the remark: "I am going to walk. Come with me." I went. He started off at a good smart peace, wild ms nanas dohind hira and his head slightly inclined, When, after a few moments, I ventured a question, he answered it in the old Socratic fashion by asking a dozen. He wished to know about the United States, our churches, our colleges, our public men. It was wish difficulty that I cou'd get him to talk of himself, or get his views on .i - J ? rt u~ ~* qiieanon 01 me uay. uunuiwiy, uc ?i length said, was in a state of theological transition. Dogma was yielding to fact. The Christain Church was changing, bat the grand truths of Christianity were unalterable. In the hands of Bisraark, the chiefest statesman of the ago, its progress was as certain as the rising of to-morrow's sun. Nothing was to be feared. With England there was more smoke than fire in the air. He spoke somewhat slightingly of Gladstone and his recently published pamphlets. Ho had watched him as he changed from a high Tory to a most outspoken .Radical. Gladstone's gravest fault, thought Carlyle, was ihat he looked exclusively at the side issues of great questions. Ho recognized the bearings and appearances, not the underlying fact; and a fact, ho continued, was a divine rcvalaiion, and he who acted contrary to it ginned against God. Is Gladstono. then, only a politi cian ?" 1 asked. "Much worse," was llie answer; 'for he always acts the politician with the wisdom of a statesman.!' Hero we approached a street classing. When half way over Mr. Carlyle suddenly stopped, and stooping down kicked something out of the mud, by the risk of being run over by the many carriages in the street. VV"ith his bare hands he brushed the mud off and placed the white substance in a clean spot on the curbstone. "That," said no, in a tone as sweet and in words as beautiful as I have ever heard, "is only a crust of bread. Yet I was taught by my mother never to waste, and, above all bread, more precious than gold, the substanco that is the same to the body that the mind is to the soul. I am sure the littlo sparrows or a hungry dog will got nourishment from that bit of bread." In a moment we arrived at the house of one of Carlyle's friends. We separated as unceremoniously as we muL?Independent. . An English Estimate of Andrew Johnson. Mr. Johnson has often been compared with President Lincoln. Tho two were, indeed, somewhat alike in the early circumstances of their lives, in the poverty that clung around their childhood, and the surprising energy and patiencc with whieh they raised themselves to influence and power. They w*rc alike, too, be it said to the credit of both, in personal integrity; in their absolute superiority to any of! the more sordid considerations with which men look to high office and the dispension of patronage. But in Mononfa tKora um<a littln rfiSfim. UtllUl iuoj;\yw<wo t. wv >>?..? -? blance?at least as little as thero is between a newfoundland dog and a bull dog. Lincoln was full of softness and sweetness, of kindly tender friendship and affections, of sympathy and pity. Johnson's natnro was rugged and hard, as his stylo of speaking was rough and violent. There was a vein of curious and genuino eloquence in Lincoln which was never found in tlio hammer aud-tongs addresses of Johnson. Lincoln's was in faet, a character of great variety, while Johnson's was only strong, selfsufficing, down-right and "dour," Perhaps it might bo said more concisely that Lincoln was a man of genius and Johnson a bold, clever and persevering politician. Tho latter had ono peculiarity in his history, however, which, so far as wo can remember at present., is uniquo among Lhe American statesmen of our timo. His public life did not concludo with his tenure of office. IIo retired, bnt only come forward ngaiu. Ho did not sink away into obstruction but only just before his death gavo some promise of a new "departure" and a fresh political career, Little girl?,!Oh, soo! John's cut ting the sparrowgrass!"

The Condition of Ireland. A In commenting upon tbo agricultural statistics for Ireland for tho year ending in Juno last, the Standard in thinks that they can hardly bo said 01 to show a satisfactory amount of pro- a gress. The registrar-general reports b that although a considerable improvement has been effected in the breed b and quality of every description of farm stock there has been no corres-f it ponding advance in the cultivation of the land Capital appears to be forth- bi coming for tho purohase of a higher class of stock but there is little disposition to incur much outlay in scientific farming. It is satisfactory, however to find, it adds, that there is a decided diminution in the amount of emigration. Tho TimcB of the same date Bays that every one who knows w Ireland now, and who knew-it tag* times past, bears witnesa'to the ad I vuiiut? ui ^ruajjuni/j', i<ua .iiuprvvsu nu- ik pearance of the peopie, ana the inaications of ease and comfort whiob ai abound. As prosperity and material enjoyment must produce in the end n by an influence which no agitation can resist, the hitherto unknown blessing of political contentment, En- n gland may follow with interest the record of Irisa progress, as givon in the descriptions of visitors, or tho uncoring pages of official roturns. Agriculture is the source of Irish wealth, and successful agriculture in Ireland e means pcace loyalty, repeal of coer cioo acts, assimilation of laws ior tho si two islands, increase of social intercourse, decay of animosity against it the Saxon, and all those advantages for which as statesmen truly tell us si we must look to time. In the lato d statistical report to the Lord Liouteu ant on the agriculture of Ireland for b 1875 it can be seen that it still in wealth does not compare with England, and this inferiority is not likely to be removed; yet we have the authority of every compotent observer, from tho Duke of Abercorn ? downward, for the fact that, as compared with its own past, the progress n of Ireland has been beyond all expectation. The farmer saves money, and the laborer can live on his wages in comfort. This is a sufficient contrast with what.i late generation can re- ^ member. f1 Ic fL Important Movement?The Mississippi Valley Trading Company. f'c h This company was lately organized b at St. Louis, and the future headquar si ters ordered to bo loeated in Louis- w ville. As several other leading offi- h cers of the National Grange aren am- it ed as directors, the movement, while it distinct as an organization, will bo w closely indentified by business rela- d tions with tho Patrons of Ilusband- lc ry. vv To sum up this matter briefly, it is ti an offspring of the English Co opera- w tive society thrown into the lap of la tho PatroDS of Husbaudry. This h society with its numerous branches, d by means of splendid management a and continued support and looking to their best interest?an exchange of p manufactures for the products of tl the American farms?they recognizo ti in the grange organization tho best g means of carrying tbis into effect. So far as our prftlucts are concerned this movoment only looks directly Fi tr? t.Tir? Rnrnliifl. but it will also materi w | ; ~ ally affect the price of what is con sumed at home. A short time back n before the organization among the tl farmers had become so wide-spread? st and many a farmer remembers the tl time?farm produce was sofd for less p than cost of production, taking into 1] account the interest on investment, li This was accomplished by acombina- A tion of circumstances, speculators, lc [banks, railroads, and even tho nation- ei jai and State governments boing ma- rl | nipuiaieu dj una cumunmuuu ui vupi- u, tal against labor. This state of af- ai fairs can not well occur when thero is le established in this country this mam- w moth trading company with plenty st of money and ready to take at reas- fr onable price the surplus products of fo the soil. To make this effective the e: farmers must use their organization bi to bring into bulk and to turn over to si this company such of their produce c< as is required. I] The English company, being main- z< ly composed of manufacturers, me- w chanics and mill operatives, will also cl expect to give in return the fruits of C their labor, consisting of such arti- gi clcs as they make for our use. e< Mr. Thomas D. Worrall, the au- T thorized agent of the English socie- a] ties, is looked for in this city, whore o' he will establish his chief offices, and tl no doubt will soon locate branches in cl every State, through which the ex- fc change will bo carried out. Our t! Worthy Master, Davie, has used his tl influence, as he always does when he li sees an opportunity to bring money and business into the State, to get the headquarters of his company here. We hope and trust thero may be some grand business developments in , this for the farmers, for the country, and for Louisville.?Courier Jaur- e<j 'ml. >'' cc ?o? cc "Can annimals suffer pain?" is the ** latest question.

A well-known clergyman was crossig Lake Erie many years ago upon ne of the lake steamers, and, seeing small lad at the wheel steering the 1 oat, accosted him as follows: i ' My son, you appear to be a small oy to steer so largo a boat." i "Yes, jsir but you see that I can do i though." .

There was a French regiment in which dueling was all the rage. The officers were always fighting each other, or getting up little affairs with the officers of other regiments. At last the War Office, wearied out of patience, changed the commanding officer. A colonel was sent down who would be sure to stamp out such nonsense. A few days after his arrival, two of the officers cam? to ask his permission to go out and fight To the amazement of everybody he gave his cor-jnt; the oflkprs went forth to fight, they slightly wounded each other, and "honor was satisfied," as the phrase goes upon these occasions. They were no sooner recovered than they received an order to wait upon thecoloneL "You have to go out and fight again tomorrow," he said; and' as they looked at him with questioning astonishment, he ex. plained: "When oft! rs tight in the regl>> i T 1 iL. 1 I. J meni 1 IJUVtJ IIJU hui:ui w cuiuuianu, ilicj kill. Go!" These officers went out again, and this time made right good holes in each other, which took six months to heal. The ?tory is very horrible. They were sent out again and again, and at last they killed e;u:h other, but henceforth and forever in that regiment, and a got-1 many bt*ide, there was an end of c icling. The fate of the young men w o were thus sacri. ficed u) bring about s-.eh k -result wn? sad, but they brought it on themselves in ax- . much as being fully a .vara that tbe colonol wpj sent to repress dueling, they choM almost on bis arrival to demand that be should stultify himself and permit them to have their way. A^ii:.CirAvlHoi;sE. Rev. Gilbert Haven, who ha* recently published a bonk descriptive of what b# ?aw in his travels in Mexico, thus writes of the bouses: A Mexic .n house is all beantiful within, if anywhoi-e. It is not so, oartainly, without. You enter through a large, high door, wide enough to admit your carriage into a patio, or open paved court. Around this are rooms for serv&nte send horses, on the first H- >r. Handsome stairs lead to the upper Tories, light balconies run around them, at J vooma open into them. They are noi allowed to open on neighboring estates, to they must open in court or street. The last commands usnaily nnlv one of the four sides; so most houses have three fourths of their light from the court. These rooms are as cool and airy as tho;*a built after our fashion, though they uBjially have only one iulet for air and light. They are much higher in ceiling than ours, ant! s J are tastefully set off in frescoes. The JS balustrades are often of 1iras3, and tha V work has a more finished look, even in com. un mon houses, than the best in the States ex=> nflaj hibit. On the street side are small bel- An conies for sight-seeing. There are mors VH disagreeable dwellings by far than a first- 8WB class Mexican house. 1 I.L_ 3 jfffi A CONSISTKNT MILE. ^Hj In Sonoma county, California, a mule was drawing- a load of lfme, which, en- fl] couraged by a brisk shower, went into - ' "* vigorous combustion. The wagon took " fire, but the mule, resenting this demonstration in the vehicle, and with a view perhaps of investigating it, stood stilL The A driver suggested th.it he proceed; but the fl mule put bis fore feet to the front, and laid ^ his ears to the rear, and maintained hia ground. In due time the fire on the wagon singed the mule. Then it scorched him. Then it blistered him. Then it roasted him# But he never moved. Thero was a principle at stake, and he calcinated in his track* in support of ft. When the process had ended, all that was left of what had been a mule, was a half barrel of ashen. During the year ending June 1, there were 1,124 railroad accidents in tlvs country, by which 179 persons lost their live* and 984 were injured.
