AN OPINION FROM Hon. TnApptus srg-
VEINS on THE CoSscRIPTIos LAw.-The Lam
caster Express publishes the following
opinion Of tho Hon. Thaddeus Stevens in
regard to the effect of the payment of the
S3U0 communication by drafted man -
Badimore S,tn.
LANCASTER, August 81 1868.
Dear Sir: In answer 10 your inquiry,
Dy opinion is that the payment Of the
$500 Communication and the furnishing Il
substitute haye precisely the same effect.
Either OF them frees the drafted man from
further draft for three years lie is in
effect in service, either by himself or an
other. The pay yment of $500 makes the
government his agent to procure substi-
tute. The government has consented TO
act as such agent. The law says he may
ION or before the day fixed for his appear
ance furnish an acceptable substitute, or
pay such sum not exceeding $500 for the
procuration of sIch substitute, and there
upon the person furnishing the substitute,
or paying the money, shall be discharged from
further liability under that draft" No
one doubts that furnishig Il substitute ex-
cuses for three-years. To give a different
effect 10 the payment Of the commutation
seems to me little less than an absurdity.
1t is d very mischievous misconstruction,
which if need be, have no doubt, Con-
gress will correct.

IT is lDIoTIc LINGO ?'-The PALLADIUM,

Genesis:

York Tribune; and the New York Tribune
besat the IrrtpressiJIe Conflict; and the
lrrepressible Conflict begat thD Helper
Booki and the Helper Eook begat the
iaid Of John Brocn; and the raid of John
Bro'n begat the Chicago Platform.
TO which the New Haven Register adds
that the whole begat the present cruel
war together with death, national
deot' and destruction generally. "A fool

Fise man can remedy in years"-and
That is Just the state Of the country at

Kindness to Mich Cows.


One of the greatest errors in over.
coming cows that are unquict while
being MIXED, Is to whip, beat, kick and
ba@l at them. This is generally done,
and the COW becomes afraid or angry.
and, instead of becoming better, grows
worse. Mich cows cannot be whipped
or terrific d into standing quietly, pa
tiently and gently during milking.
They dislike to be MIXED, for they
know that hard words and hard blows
always attend the operations. They
dread to see the mixer, as the. little
urchin breads, to see the birch rod in
the hands of the angry pedagogue
when he expects to cit applied to
his back. A COW, kindly and properly
treated, is pleased TO see the mixer,
gladly awaits his or her approach, and
submits with pleasure to the operation
of being MIXED. Every one having
experience with cows knows this to be
true. But the COW is opposed to a
change of mixers; she soon becomes
attached to one person who performs
the operation, aud does not willingly
andsfreeH giveldown her milkhso an
other person therefore, have one reg

| it in mind if You change mixers it is
at the expense OF loss of milk and OF
an injury to the cow. All animals APP
fpreciate kind treatment and resent
abusive treatment. 1t is their nature
or instinct to do this. Therefore, il
you would have them gentle andtquiet,
treat them gently and kindly: See that
those who milk them can control them.
selves, govern their passions, speak low
and kindly under any provocation, and
soon the cows will learn that they are
not going to be abused, and will sub
nit to he operation. Milking should
be performed at regular hours, not
varying fifteen minutes from one day
to the other. Ne talking or laughing
should be permitted at the time, and il
should be done asSspeedily as possible.
