A SKIM MILKED CHEESE WITH VEN
GEANcE.-Up at the west end of the city,
there is good-natured, fun-making negro,
named "Parsis," who hovers round the gro
Gerry stores in that neighborhood rather
more than is desirable Like many other
gentlemen of color, he brides himself upon
the thickness of his skull, and he is always
up for bet upon his butting powers, and
well he may be, for his head is hard enough
for battering ram. The other day he
made bet in store that he could but in
the head of -four barrel, and he succeed
ed. He then took up bet TO drive it
through very large cheese, which was to
be covered with crash cloth to keep his
wool clear of cheese crums. The cheeze,
thus enveloped, was placed in proper po-
sition, and Parsis. starting off like locomo-
tive, buried his head up to his ears in the
inviting target. Parsis now begun to feel
himself irresistible, and talked up "purty
considerable" A plan, however, was soon
contrived, to take the conceit out of him.
There being some grindstones in the store
for sale, one Of them was privately taken
up, and wrapped upin the same manner as
the cheese had been, and looked precisely
as if it were second cheese. and Parsis
readily took another bet for nine pence, that
he would but his head through it as easy
as he sent it through the first. The inter-
est of the spectators in the operation be-
came intense. Every thing was carefully
adjusted, and upon the word being given
Parsls darted off like an arrow at the am.
bush grindstone; he struck it fair III the cen.
ire. and the next instant lay sprawling ii
the middle of the floor, upon which he re-
coiled. For some minutes he laid speech
less, and then raised himself slowly upor
his knees, and scratching his head, said, witt
squirming face-"Darn hard cheese, dat
massa. Dey skim de milk too much. alto

AGRICULTURAL.
From the British Farmers Magazine.

Cows AS BEASTS OF DRAUGHT.-lt seems
somewhat odd, that while we have COM
PEELED the horse. the OK, the mule, the ass
and even the dog to work as beasts of
draught, the cow should have been gener-
ally overlooked. Whether the experiment
may have been tested. and found to fail, |
know not but certain it is, that instances
are very rare in this country, where the
cow may be seen toiling as the horse. Ex-
traordnnary, however. as it NAV be, a few
wears ago, cow was to be seen on the
banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal,
pulling boat along with comparative ease,
and proportionate degree of gravity; thus
furnishing the boatman with both labor and
milk.
The Flenrings. too, are beginning to make
use of the cow as beast of draught, and
that animal is made to cart, plough and drill
for perhaps five or SIX hours per day. And
it will be readily granted, l presume. that
plenty of work of suitable nature for the
cow TO execute, may mostly be found on
any farm.
know our farmers are slow to adopt
practice which is strange to them, hence
the tard y progress of agriculture others,
again, will condemn untried whatever is
recommended to them; which perhaps
will be the case with the subject in ques-
ton. Such, however, must not be needed,
for ifthey are so wilfnlly obtuse, as to stand
in their own light, the blame must lie in
themselves. There is nothing particularly
startling In case of this sort. If a cow
can be made to work few hours a day,
without lessening the quantity of her milk,
why should not her labor be acceptablel-
But of course it is the small farmer who is
most likely to profit byit or the laborer
who may have his acre or two of land, a
cow or two, but no horse; and, as mat,
Ter of course, for such only is the hint inten-
ded.
In laying this subject before your read
ders, / anticipate the return of information
which must be valuable; l have seen in
your Magazine. at various times, papers on
the disease of stock, evidently the produc-
tons of able veterinarians, and it is likely
that those individuals could well ascer.
tam the propriety or improperly or
OF so using the cow. 1 earnestly hope
that some of those gentlemen will take up
.he question. and give definite opinion on
Inc matter at the outset; and if the cow

CoNDfTIoN OF THE AMERICAN NAvY.-It has
been so much the custom recently to kpeak of
the weakness of our marine defences, that most
persons have probably al incorrect idea of our
real naval strength. The United States Navy
at this time comprises GO sail, including eleven
ships OF the line, one raZee, and fourteen AIS.
Then we have the frame timbers CONTRACTED Tor

Is frigares, Is corveue, 6esteamers and brigs
and schooners, besides copper, iron. etc. In no
very long period, therefore, we could go to sea
with &c heavy ships Of the line, 80 frgates, only
TWO of them rating les than "A guns, 80 corvetrs,
a dozen steamships, and suitable proportion of
smaller vessels. If half dozen frigates and a
few corvettes could in the last war maintain the
honor Of the country against the immense Navy
of England, one would suppose that the above
mentioned force, differed and manned as i,
would be in the most efficient manner, would
give even England some trouble.

TEMPERATE DRINKING.

"Tis but DROP the father said,
And gave il 10 his son
But little did he think work
OF death was then begun.
The drop that lured when the babe
Scarce lisp'd his Fathers name,
Planted fatal appetite,
Deep in his infant flame.
otis but Drop the comrades cried,
In .ruant school-boy tone;
1T did not hurt US in our robes
It will not now we're grown
And so they drank The mixture up,
That reeling youthful band;
For each had learned to love the taste,
From his own fathers hand.
"Tis but a Drop the husband said,
While his poor wife stood by,
In famine, grief AMI loneliness,
And rais'd tn imploring cry.
''Tis but drop-Tll drink 1t still
Twill never injure me;

We never can agree.
She wept in vain-iu vain she plead
The hunger of her child,
And her own tatter'd dress-the wretch
Her molrnful words reviled,

And deep and long he drank;
Then dashed it down, and on the earth
Insensible he sank.

AProposition worth Considering

To induce persons to act as agents for pro-
curing subscribers to the RIFLE we submit the
following proposition.
For S35 we will send one hundred copies to
not more than ten addresses
For SIS forty copies to not more than four
For S5 twelve copies TO one address.
This will afford over Twenty-Five per cent 10
agents for their trouble and as every one can
procure one hundred or moro subscribers, in
their own neigh5orhood, he will be doing fair
business in these hard times. And one to
make it business Cor month could procure
two or three thousand at least, as no body will
refuse to pay fifty cents for paper for SIX
months during so exciting campaign as the
approaching one will undoubtedly be. By
some unaccountable error, it is stated in our
prospectus that we will send fifty copies to one
address for $l5-it should have been forty.
The first would not pay the expenses with ten
thousand subscribers Address.

chine for cutting Wood Types, which being an
entire nep inucntion is warranted to cut Types,
both plain and ornamental far superior to any
heretofore exhibited to the public; and in proof
of the assertion, informs the public that he has
obtained Diplomas and Medals from both the A.
merican and Mechanics Institutes of the City
Of New. York, at their Fairs of 1886, 1888, and
1899, as the books of the Institute will show
George F Nesbit. would particularly invite
the attention of Printers to the fact that through
the politeness Of the propristors of the Liver
pool and Havre line of packets, he has been fa-
vored with the latest French and English spe-
cimens, that many of the new styles in them
are very handsome, and have been got up by
him; they were exhibited by him at the Me-
chanics Fair in this city, now just closed and
pronounced by the Committee of Printers, ap-
pointed to examine Types and Specimens, 10
be superior TO any Wood Types ever before ex-
hibited, and having decided advantage over
large Metal Types.
Printers of the United States, that he is ready
to cut Types on Wood of any size, from lines
Plea, upward, from any of the patterns of small
or Types contained in the extensive specimen
of Messrs. G. Bruce & Co., or from any new
pattern that can be suggested.
IL George F. Nesbitt is desirous that Prin-
tiers, and those becoming Agents, should be ac-
quainted with the fact, that his prices are much
reduced from those heretofore charged by other
manufactures; that he allows his Agents hirtv
per cent. commission; that his terms are sir
months or ten per cent. discount for cash
Agents are wanted for the following cities
viz: Charleston, Albany, Detroit, Rochester,
and Buffalo
N. B. Printers of Newspapers, who will
publish the above for six times, within three
months from this date, and will send me copy
of their paper, shall be entitled to $3 in Types;
and should the Types not prove superior to any
ever before manufactured, they can be returned,
and the money will be paid in place of them.
