In the whole country there are at present 3,1 10789 horses and mules, and it is pointed out that wherever they are found flies flourish most numerously. In this city alone the annual expense caused by the pre sence of the horse on the streets is more than $13,000,000.' ' BaW upon with the horse.' the 'Aoblcton writer believes it will be necessary to banish the quadruped before the insect can be exterminated, If, such proves "to be thecase' Fathei1 - Knickerbocker will find himself with a very good- sized Job indeed on his hands. .'Memories of the old days of New York'i commerce when it was handl ed in sailing vessels, before the advent of steam driven ships, were awakened this week by the record breaking ar rival of the Pruessen, the largest sail ing vessel of its class in the world. A few transatlantic liners it is true aver age about twenty knots an hour, but not many exceed the record of near ly nineteen knots or about twenty two miles in an hour,' There have been ships with more masts which have recently entered New York har bor but none in the class of the Pru essen whose peculiarity lies in the fact that she is square rigged and lias no auxiliary engine. No other ship of thfs class has entered the harbor in year. The record break ing vessel has 43 separate sails in all, not counting sparsails, with a spread of over 60,000 square feet of canvas. The length of the lower yard of this mammoth vessel is 102 feet, while her main royal yard is 50 feet long. Her ma Ms are three feet in thickness at the deck, and a total of 56,625 feet or, nearly eleven miles or rope has been i 'used in )he f rigging. Of the six anchors the largest weighs more than four tons.' The ship is 433 feet long and 56, feet in breath with a tonnage of more than 11000,,, Altogether the Pruessea is a mammoth of her class such Vs has never bcen! seen befor and a rare reminder of the days of the clipper ship when sail driven ves sets thronged New York's harbor. The number of pushcarts, that is the movable stores on wheels, from which every kind of merchandise is sold in New York, now exceeds the surprising total of 6000. The goods disposed of from them each year are valued at $25,000,000. Indeed the city's intinerant pushcart merchants do annually a greater business than many a thriving town, while their number exceeds the population of any of more than two-thirds of the towns and cities of the country. The lower cast side, with 5109 'of these pushcarts peculiar to the newly ar rived merchant of foreign extraction, leads all the rest, and its showing in this line would if all the pushcarts were placed end to end extend more than ten miles. The business of sup plying these movable counters em ploys "more' than 2,000 men in five large factories and has a gross rt venue of more than $2,000,000 annual ly. The pushcart is apparently pecu liar to, New York,, DEVELOP ', THE BU SHE'S A QUEEN , SHE'S A SIREN is an expression that la always heard at sight of a well developed woman.
