Tsarskoe-Selo to-day to thank the emperor for his appoint- ment as assistant minister of the in- terior and to confer with his majesty regarding the exercise of the great powers and heavy responsibility in- trusted to him. In government circles the appointment of General Trepofi as assistant minister of the interior, wid- ening the scope of his authority so that he may accomplish in the whole empire what he has done in St. Peters- burg since January 2nd, is regarded as an obvious step for the emperor to take if he is determined not to ab- andon the fundamental principles of Russian rule and not to transform the augptracy into a limited monarchy of the 'west 'European type It is claimed that Trepofi since his SPHiois tment as governorPencral of St. Petersburg has maintained order here, has prevented a recrudescence of the tumults of, January 22nd, without logs of life, and has handled the situ- ation with the - needed, firmness, yet without giving cause for complaint, as the late Von Plehve did by the adop- tion of unnecessarily stringent arbitrary measures. ~Trepoff sone of .the busiest and most. energetic officials in Russia, and he requires long hours of attention to duty"from his staff, The general is at his desk shortly after seven o'clock in the morning, and his subordinates are expected to be on 'duty at nine o'déck. Instead of keeping the easy hours, exacted by. other office-holders Trepofi invariably works late into the night, and his secretaries take turns at an axtra hour of duty early in the'morn- ing and at night. He will not remove his headquarters to the ministry of the interior, but will direct the afiairs of his new posi tion from his present chancellory in St, Petersburg general government. and LIVE STOCK MARKETS. omens The Prices Paid at Various Points.

New York, - June 6.<Spite caused the founding of the itable Life Ax- surance. company hy' Henry Hyde, ac- cording to William Moore, who was Hyde's chum at the time, Hyde was twenty-five years old, and a clerk in the employ of the Mutual Life Insur ance company at $20 5 week. Both young men attended the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, of which Rev. Dr. Alexander, father of James WV. Alexander, the present president of the Eyuitable Life, was the pastor, In March of 1859 a vacancy occur- red in the Mutual Life. It was a better position than the humble clerk- ship held by Henry B. Hyde; and a8 he had worked industriously and given the best of his ability to the company he believed that he should be promoted to the higher place The better position was given another man. Young Hyde was in censed, and promptly went to Fred: erick 8. Winston, then president of the Mutual Life, and told him that he meant to start a company which would rival the Mutual Life, Winston was amused. The. Equitable Life was organized in July, 1859, only four months after Henry B. Hyde had given up his small clerkship in the Mutual Life and started the supposedly impossible task of raising the £100,000 necessary as capital. He got his money chiefly from Rev, Dr. Alexander amd members of the latter's congregation, whone the min ister induced to lend a helping hand to the young man. The company now has assets of £400,000,000, . to Exhibition Stock, The fitting of stock for exhibition often means a sacrifice of the eream of the flock or herd, but, nevertheless, were the practice of showing discon- tinued it would be a source of loss to the live stock industry for the, reason that breeders would lose one of their best guides to type. Hence the show- vard ix a necessary evil. That there are a very large number of animals that do eb services in the breed- ing pens, after going through a sue- cessful tour of the shows, is above question, but such have been handled by skilled hands who do not permit of their charges forming too close an acquaintance with the grain bin. Our best aputhoritics agree that when an animal is in the height of show yard condition that succulent rations in plenty and variety and a sparse grain ration, by way of luxury Telly, is the proper thing. Grain is toa heating for a very fat, ripe animal during such weatl as prevails through our summer shows, and only a very little is 'necessary to hold such up to concert pitch under such conditions.
