I,r,sf lsssayon the Courage Of Cow

Z The New York Atlas Of late date has

plaster never finds a sticking place upon
his countenance. He never has the
'wind knocked out of him." nor does ne
ever receive an unlucky 'belt' between
wind and water" Like a ship upon q
smoothssea, he moved slowly, calmly and
maiestically unto his appointed end.
His is the peace platform. What cares

other code which involves danger,

to strike coward. There is more real
heroism, more moral courage in his
cowardice than there is in the breasts
of a dozen Of your brawling, gouging,
fighting men. His coursge-the courage
Of cowardice--is a superior article, a
luxury, and hence its scarcity. The
coward possesses the truest highest cour'
age-the courage to preserve in all its
perfection, unscarred and unmutilated
until death, the "human form divine"

greatly overrated their strength, and the
distance they could travel in given time.
Taking this view of the case, we can un-
derstand why their provisions would not
last them for anything like the distance
they required 20 travel and they would
be obliged to send back to the slips for
more, first taking from the detached party
all the provisions they could possibly spare.
Whether all, or any Of this detached party
ever reached their ship, is uncertain; all
we know is, that they did not revisit the
boat, and which accounts for the absence
of more skeletons in its neighborhood !;
and the Esquimaux report that there was
no one alive in the ship when she driftsd
on shore, and that but one human body
@as found by them Oh board of her.
After leaving the boat we followed an
irregular coast line to the n. and N. w.,
up to very prominent cape, which is
probably the extreme Of land seen from
Point Victoria by Sir James Ross, and
named by him, Point Franklin, which
name as cape, it still retains.

whole journey along the shores King Will

out to be kept seaward for the stranded
ship spoken of by the natives our search
was however, fruitess in that respect.

The "SAINTED' BRowN-Never has
there been a baser attempt upon the sym
pathies and prejudices of the weak or evil
minded, than that of the "Republcan'
demagogues in behalf Of the marauder ab-
oltionist Capt. Brown. The following
extract from private letter published in
the Hartford TINES, is an illustration of
his wicked heart and pervert head:
- As John Brown has been compared to
Jesus Christ, will give you one fact in
his history which will illustrate his char
acter he lived the last Is years before
going to Kansas, within eighteen miles Of
here, and | was informed the other day by
a gentleman Of this county, who is a man
of undoubted integrity, that when he lived
in Hudson, o. IS years ago, magistrate
sentenced Brown and bis four sons to thir-
ty days Imprisonment in Akron Jail, for
burning neigL5or'S fences end hay stalks.
Brown had a lawsuit with neighbor in
reference TO a piece Of land, and the court
decided against him; and to CRAFTY his
amiabe disposition, he burned his
neighbor's property This is the man
whom the republican party compare to

when should Heifers "CODso
fn!c

The age at whicE heifsrs should tirst
calve, elicits much discussion. Some of
the best dairy-men advised at two years
old, if the object was beef. 1t wss thought
that the earlier the milking faculty was
educated, the more profitable the animal
for milk. The masculine develops unless
the feminine is drawn on. A beifer con-!
ing II early acquires peculiarly feminine
look easily recognized. Ore member Of
large experience let's his heifers calve as
early as they will, and gives them rest and
growth afterwards. lie prefers to have
them give milk, and 60 farrow yea or
two after their first calf. Another mem
Der, in corroboration of the same fact sta
ted that he kept choice heifer, from good
stock. till she was four years old, when
first with calf, and was so disappointed
then as to beef her He would bring
heifers in at two years old, and milk them
eighteen months before calvng again
Beef and size are Of small account in an
animal that is to give daily profit of
milk for several years. Coming in too
early, 1t was thought, would undermine
the constitution and dwarf the animal
Mr.. Norton of Pennington, CT, of Alder
ney fame, advises bringing in heifsrs At
two years, and so do Ayrshire brseders
generally. The small sizs of both these
last mentioned breeds may have originated
in the fact, that their dairy qualities have
ever been of the first consideration. It is
believed to be fact that AlGerney calves
are difficult to raise, and their slender con-
stitutions are attributed to early breeding.
Milk cannot be made without feed, and
hence small cows giving large quantities
Of milk are called extravagant feeders.--
Small COWS were thought to give more
milk in proportion than large ones,
though the examples a,lduced did not
clear y prove this. On the one hand VIM.
Birnie cited his two Ayrshire cows, one of
them weighs eight hundred pounds, and
the best mixer in his herd, that in five
summer months gave on an average nine
hundred and fifty pounds of milk per
month, and the other weighing FIVE hund
red pounds that has given ten quarts of
milk daily since last summer. On the
other hand Paoli Lathrop cited thorough
bred Short-Horn COW, now owned in Wor-
ces,er by Mr.. Tainter, that gave sixty
five pounds Of milk in day, and twenty
five pounds of butter in ten days last sum.

FREE NEGRoEs.-The free negroes who
have recently been forced to leave Arkan
sas are eu1uiring where they are to go
There they were doing very well, the acts
of the abolitiohists have forced the State to
send them away, and now they make an
appeal for a place where they may live and
breathe. Indiana, Illinois and Oregon
refuses them, Minnesota turns a cold shoul-
der towards them. Where are they to go?
This is only the beginning Of their expul-
sions, and it is probable that year after
year, free State after free State will dis
conntenance them.
Not being slaves, they can get no coun-
tenance from abolitionists, and they begin
to think the time will soon come when
they will be allowed no resting place in all

Historical ile2HiNgS.

Z. S. CentS-The act for the establish
ment of the L. S. Mint, was passed April
?. 1892, and went into operation same
year. Although small trial piece for
cent. with silver centre was struck in
1892, and the disme and half disme in the
same year, there is no doubt but that the
first regular issue of the currency, was the
cent of 1892, of which there were eleven
varieties struck. With one exception
1S15) the cents furnish unbroken series
OF United States coinage, which IS the on
ly one Of our coins that does so.
First Post OGice.-The first Post Office
established in the United States, was at
Portsmouth, n. ii , by an act of the Leg
islature passed March /, 1893 Thomas
Naale having received letters from his
most excellent Majesty" bearing date
Feb. II, 1851, was appointed Postmaster.
1t was also enacted that the Officer Of the
Post House should have "License grant
ed to retail beer, cider, and ale within
doors, according to law, and shall have his

Lynch Lau.-Colonel Charles Lynch
was an officer Of the Revolution, and was
located at point much infested by law
less band of Tories and desperados. The
necessity Of the case involved desperate
measures, and Colonel L., then leading
whig, apprehended, and had them punish
ed without any superfuous legal ceremo-
ny. Hence the origin ofthe term " Lynch
Law." This practice of Lynching contin-
ued many years after the war, and in 1892
there were many suits on the south side OF
