Cows that hold up milk, Mr.. John
son says, can be cured, if they will
drink sour milk. After drinking, and
as soon as they begin to lick the pail,
they will give down freely. He has
tried it with cows that would give about
two thirds the proper quantity, retaining
the other portion. Then he gave them
the milk to drink, and waits until they
begin to lick the pail, when he has no
trouble in obtaining the remainder. He
has tried meal, salt, and various things,
but found nothing to produce such an
effect as sour milky. Y. Tribune.

Kissing in the Cars.
A correspondent tells the following

AlsaluS IL VIC toles
A correspondent tells the following
story:
Twas spending the night in Freeport,
Illinois. After breakfast, l came into
the sitting-room, where l met pleas
ant, chsttering, good-humored traveller,
who, Ike myself, was awaiting the
morning train from Galena. We con-
rersed pleasantly and freely upon sew
eral topics, until seeing two ladies meet
and kiss each other on the street, the
conversation turned upon kissing just
about the time the train was approach
ing.
"Come," said he, taking up his car
pet-bag, "since we are on so sweet
subject, let us have practical applica-
ton. Twill make proposition to you.
I'll agree to kiss the most beautiful lady
in the cars from Galena, you being the
Judge, if you will kiss the next prettiest,
l being the judge"
The proposition staggered me little,
and l could hardly tell whether he was
in earnest or in fun; but as he would
be as deep in it as possibly could be,
l agreed, provided he would do the first
kissing, though my heart failed some
what as l saw his black eyes sparkle
with daring.

You take the back car and 60 in from
the front end, where you can see the
faces of the ladies, and stand by the
one you think the handsomest, and I'll
come in from behind and kiss her."
l had hardly stepped inside the car,
when l saw, at the first glance, one of
the loveliest women my eyes ever fell
on-a beautiful blonde, with auburn
hair, and bright, sunny face, full Of
love and sweetness, and as radiant as
the morning. Any further search was
totally unnecessary. I Immediately
took my stand in the aisle of the car by
her side. She was looking out of the
window earnestly, as if expecting some
one. The back door of the car opened,
and in stepped my hotel friend. l
pointed my finger silly at her, never
dreaming that he dare carry out his
pledge, and you may imagine my
amazement when he stepped up quickly
behind and kissed her with relish that
made my mouth fairly water. l ex-
pected, of course, q shrek of terror,
and then a row generally, and a knock

Snow, sir, it is your turn'-pointing
to hideously ugly, wrinkled old woman,
who sat in the seat behind.
''You must excuse me" exclaimed.
'T'm sold this time. l give up. Do
tell me who you have been kissing?"
And we all burst into a general peal of
laughter, as he said: "This is my wife
| haye been waiting here for her," He
told the story to his wife, who looked
tenfold sweeter as she heard it.

HARD UP FOR CANDIDATES.

We have seen persons IN embarrassing po-
sitions-in some that awaken pity, in some
that arouse fear, In some that excite laugh
ter, but we have never seen anybody so
awkwardly situated as the political faction
that comically calls itself the Democracy.
They are completely cornered, and are
distreSsinely conscious of it. But to conceal
their modification AID to forestall the ridi-
cule of spectators, they put on whimsical
airs, and go through grotesque motions, as
though they enjoyed the fun themselves.
They are like person who awkwardly falls
In the street, and looks around, as he rises,
to see if any body Is laughing at him, with
a painful grin ON his own face.
In nothing does this expedient Of human
nature in its straits, appear more conspicu-
ously than in the selection OF their candi-
dates by the aforesaid Democracy. After
having denounced the war in every shape
and form of speech, and tried in vain TO pre-
vent the soldiers who were defending the
country against traitors from enjoying the
right of suffrage, they fill out their list of
candidate for office with the names OF these
very soldiers, so that they look rather like
muster rolls than civil lists. There is incon-
sistency in this putting forward soldiers
and yet there Is consistency, too, Tor the
stay y-at-home party men have all through
the war kept themselves far in the rear OF
the brave soldiers But they nominate sol
diers only In places where there is no chance
Of success. This is decidedly shabby treat

they are any where within the possibility of
