COLD COMFORT FROM FRANCE,

The Journal des De5ats, speaking Of
the application Of South Carolina to tho
Emperor Of France, says;
There is no doubt but that the
Southern States earnestly desire to Sc
cure the countenance Of France and
what shall we do in this matter? We
have already done far too much in aiding
formerly the American States in obtain
ing their independence. Louis XVI.
was rewarded only by the ingratitude Of
the Americans, and the revoIutioary con-
tagion brought over by our officers was
speedily innoculated throughout the whole
Of France. Can a nation which has
abolished slavery in its colonies lend its
assistance to these pseudo republicans,
who prefer revolution to mere exam
ination as to whether there exists any
means by which, in near or distant
future, the emancipation of blacks may
be accomplished? These cotton planters
address the Emperor as the protector of
nationalities. What, then, is the nation
ality oppressed at Charleston2 We see
only one oppression--that Of four mil
lions Of Africans who are held in slavery.
And shall we lend our strength to this
liberal movement? We have no interest
in doing so. The slave states would
not come any quicker to our assistance.
while the Northern states would harbor
towards us an inveterate rancor. Now
these latter states are more numerous.
rich and populous than the future confed-
Grafton Of the South can ever be. 1t is the
North principally which is the CUSTOM
or for cur silks and articles of luxury,
and which sends us its -four iu exchange.
Every mBrk of sympathy given by
France to the slave states would be fol-
lowed by commercial reprisals by the
Northern states, and tariff and custom
house duties would soon interfere with
our poducts. Let us, therefore, remain
neutral in regard TO discussions which do
not affect US. Let US leave the Ameri-
cans to weaken themselves by their
guarrels and show to the world. the i'm
pctence of Republican forms to found
solid and permanent government. This
IS the case, if ever, in which to apply the
principle of non Intervention"

60RRlLRS AND THEIR FER0ClTY,

If Mr. Darwin's notion that the hu-
man race may have developed from the
monkey tribes had any scientific basis, it
would be n little bumiliatiug that other
branches from the original stock have at
tanned a higher degree of physical
strength than has fallen to man. The
gorrillas are far more than a match for
him, when unassisted by weapons:
DR.. Du Chaillu is probably the first
and only white man who has dared to
wage war with gorrillas. The apes Of
Borneo and Sumatra are infants in com
parison with them. The far-famed
chimpazce is a great docile creature
which can never be named in the same
day with the gigantic savage Of Central
Africa. Think of it, The gorilla is
six feet twb inches in hight, and three
feet between the sboulder-blades. The
paw is that Of a giant-three times the
size of a human hand. The finger
measures six inches in circumference at
the base. There is an immense ridge
running perpeodicularly over the crani-
UNI; this and the great jaws are packed
with muscle os prodigious strength. The
creature has huge arms altogether dispro-
portionate to the body. 1t is covered
with black hair and has matted lock on
its head, which it has the power of bring
ing over its face. 1t has almost the sa-
gacity Of a man, and almost the ferocity
Of a fend. The male is terribly pugna-
cious; the female always flies. When
they make their attack they beat their
breasts with their fists, making a sound
which can be heard a mile Their cry
which has a terrific resemblance to a
human voice-can be heard three miles
amid the reverberations of the hills.
As they approach their adversary,
they endeavor to intimidate him One
would think this was easily done. That
fearful sound, those frantic eyes, gIaring
with the intelligence and malignity of a
demon, were enough to shake nerves not
easily disturbed from their equipoise.
Our hero lost five or SIX men in these
strange engagements. Think of the
tremendous strength that, with one blow
of the arm, could crush the ribs like pipe
stems, and tear out piece of the side;
and that with single movement Of the
jaw, could crush the barrel Of a gun as
if it had been a stick of candy! Anoth-
er fact There are no lions in the beat
Of the gorilla.

WATERING CATTLE IN WINTER
Many stablemen commit the great error
of leaving water in troughs after water
ing their cattle, and thus permitting it 10
become too cold for their subsequent use.
In very cold weather, water should not
be brought up from wells or cisterns
(where in winter it is always warmer
than when exposed above the surface Of
the ground) until the moment it is requi-
red for watering animals, and any portion
that may be left in the trough should be
permitted to run away. The use Of
very cold water is injurious to the ami
NAL. besides rendering it necessary for
him to consume a larger amount Of food
to replace the heat so lost We have
sometimes seen those who called them
selves very good farmers, break holes
through the ice in horse trouehs, to per-
nit the horses to drink; these are the
"practical farmers" who scorn book learn
ing, and work hard 'like honest men,
and ensure to their children the same
privilege.

they helped to make To intelligent

A HINT OR TWO ON SrocK BREED
ING.-There are two extremes to b
avoided in the management Of breedin,
stock, especially on the male side. Year
ago. when we first owned any cattle, WI
obtained ahe young bull, and feeln,
ambitious to have him look fat and sleek
we fed him high and had him used in tn,
most careful manner. lie was well sup
piled with provender and kept in a warn
stable. He became fat and handsome f,
look at, but we soon found that he he
gan 10 lack vigor and activity, and failed
to accomplish what was desired Of him
We then BEGAN TO reduce lim, and IL
time we got him too lean and weak to dc
his duty. Here was an error on the
other extreme. Another turn was taken
/ in our management A fair allowance OF
hay and provender was given to him, and
he was put into yoke and made to do
a good days work with an OK by his
side. lie was then brought up to a good
condition and at the same time we hq7
no trouble with him. He was vigorous
aud active, ard sure in his performances
of every kind
Since then we avoid the extremes in
breeding stock. We never keep an idle
bull; they are always broke both to tie
single and double yoke In the single
yoke they arr made TO work alone, Ike
a horse, either in the thills or in the ira
ces, aud kept in fair working order
They are thls kept quiet and dociIe, and
are worth double and trebble your fat,
sleek, lazy bulls in any point of view.
There is another advantage in this.
When an animal is only in good working
order you cen readily see all his good and
his defective points, but when he is fat.
many of his defective points are covered
up and not readily detected. Never buy
a fat animal to breed from. If you want
an animal TO slaughter, fat is what you are
after, and no matter how fat it be but
for breeding, look for those in good work
ing order, and keep them so. This rule
holds good with US in either sex. We
never broke heifers or cows to the yoke,
because we always considered a COW had
enough to do to make milk, but we have
no doubt that an curly training Of hcif- |
srs TO the yoke would have a good effect
in rendering them gentle and docile
through life; and this is an important
BY training them in this
manner while young, they will seldom
orgct it and many 5ua-y1rd ro3c be
when they come to give milk.
Besides, they might be occasionally

The unfinished business Of yesterday
was resumed, being the report OF Mr.,

that he believed the members Of his
committee representing the border slave
states would agree 10 his proposition.
that all the territory of the United States
north Of thir.y-ejx degrees thirty min

line to remain as It is, with liberty to the

/ they please, with or without slavery. lie
was of the opinion that it might be bet

than TO precipitate the country into war.
Mr. Howard of Michigan said he OBJ

believed it TO be an acknowledgment OF
an error which he would not concede.
