That evening was rather lonely, as was

All the night-birds about the great

one of the principal streets of that city,
late in the gray dawning, weary and
cross, wan " intercepted by a weather
beaten wayfarer whrrhad the usual story
about ' nothing to eat and nowhere to

him with . some ill-temper and hurried
on.- Turning back, half sorry that he
had been so rude, he saw the wayfarer
shambling off with a slouching gait and
a peculiar hopeless droop of the shoul

At the present time it is' the practice

"Graham flour." The team "Graham

is a kind of general name given to mix

What he had to Sau.
The apprehension of a speedy depart
ure to the abiding-place reserved for
murderers seems to have exercised an
unusual strong advisory effect upon the
late Vasquez - of California. Vasqaez
issued an address to some of his former
companions, quite affecting. "The
threats," he says, " of revenge which I
hear have, been, made by some of my
friends are foolish and wrong," from
which it will seem that Vasquez's moral
sense had been appreciably sharpened.
He therefore advises his friends to let
the matter go for what it is worth, and
reform. jHis lecture to parents, in which
he condjBscendingly assuree them jthat
"The state of society in the next genera
tion depends upon the manner in which
the' children of the present are instructed
and trained," is full of food for parental
reflection. Coming from Yasquez, who
had provided for the next generation by
conveniently removing thirty-one mem
bers of the present, is at least thoughtful
and considerate.

Sheep RaiMtuo . . , 4
The people of Nebraska are deter
mined to pay great attention in the fu
ture to sheep raising, and the State Ag
ricultural Society, at its late meeting,
offered a number of valuable premiums,
with a view of stimulating this branch
of industry. From investigations made
by stock men it is known that Nebraska
has millions of acres of good pasturage
for sheep, and yet at the present time
there are not more than forty-five thou
sand of these animals in the State. In
Colorado the rramber of sheep is esti
mated at over five millions.' They con
stitute one of the leading elements of
business strength in that section, and
wool is sent from there to Eastern mar
kets in great quantities. Thus instructed,
Nebraska cannot make a miste in i
creasing the number of sheep opou hei
fields and hillsides, and thus augment
ing both the importance of the State
and the wealth and prosperity of the
people. ' ...
lA Cardinal' a Bobet.
As Archbishop McCloskey is the first
American' cardinal, ' it is interesting to'
know5 in what deo his new position
differs from his caT; The new dress he
must wear is thus1 described: The dress
f a71 cardinal i is peculiar both in style
and texture, and tha difficulty that was
expected greatly perplexed those who
had the matter in charge. According to
the official programme the robes of a car
dinal are eomposed of three separate and
distinct pieces the cassock, the mantel
letta, or t full cape, and the mazetta, or
short cape, all, when worn, assuming the
shape and having the appearance of a
single garment. These three articles
are made of a peculiar and very rich and
costly fabric, technically denominated
Sicilienne silk, which is usually manufac
tured fifty inches in width, in order to
avoid unsightly seams in the garments.
The color of the Sicilienne silk is a rich
shade of scarlet, and bears the name of
"cardinal color."
The dress of the new cardinal is lined
throughout with rich gros grain silk of
the same shade, and was made by a New
York firm. The robes are very, rich in
appearance, for the silk is interwoven
with , the finest quality of lamb's wool,
which gives it a luster unequaled among
such . fabrics. . The long, flowing , skirt,
surmounted by the capes, make up a
costume both rich and elaborate, so that
when , Cardinal McCloskey receives the
berretta an l assumes the robes of hit
high office lw wDl appear in the precise
dress as worn in Rome on great and im
portant occasions.
