AGRICoLA

This breed of cattle has long been famous
in Europe, for its purity as well as its superb
or dairy qualities. The Breton cow gives
very rich milk and the finest butter is made
from it. They are very gentle and docile and
are said to be so hardy that they will thrive
in pastures where larger breeds could with
difficulty fish up living. They would thrive
well in Maine and must be valuable as
cross with the native breeds. We speak of
them now because an importation of them is
OH the way from Brest, fit has no5 already
arrived. These cattle were selected for their
owners by f. P. Andrews of Paris and Fl. N.
Peters of Southborough. C. L. Flint, Secre-
tary of the Board of Agriculture of Mass, and
G. j. Paine of Boston are the purchasers and
we commend them for their enterprise.
The true Breton COW is Usually black and
white. Occasionally red and white one is
met with, but not often. She is great curl
osity and great pet among many because
she is so small, so gentle and so kind. The
size varies from thirty to forty inches in
height, the average being about thirty-seven

with fine, delicate limbs, the head short and

small, the eye quick and lively, the horn slen-
der, well set, curving outward and upward
with the points turned to each other. The
neck is slender, the crest free and the dewlap
very small. The rump is short and the tail
long. The back is straight, the loins broad
and well formed, the hips prominent with a
large pelvis capacity. The udder is finely
shaped and compact, though large for SO

The roof of the mouth and tongue are always

AN APPEAL

Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the
Union.
A few words OF explanation will be necessa-
ry to the full understanding of the accompany
ing appeal 1t is so long since the ladies OF
the Mount Vernon Association have asked the
special attention of the public, that many
may have forgotten the widespread enthusi
asm which responded to their first efforts and
which resulted in the purchase of the home of
Washington "The Women of America" are
the owners of Mount Vernon, and their agents,
the Regent and Vice-Regent of the Assncia-
tor, after having kept watch and ward over it
for ten years and protected it from decay as
best they could with the funds raised il the
first instance and the much interrupted in
come derived from visitors, now find them
selves obliged to ask for some new aelp which
shall enable them to perfect their work, by
creating permanent fund by which the place
may be put in repair and the expense of keep
it open for visitors be met in the future
If the appeal should awaken interest in our
own State, the Vice-Regent for Maine will be
only too happy to afford information on the
subject to all who may desire to obtain it. The
same lady who labored so earnestly and self
denyingly to accomplish the purchase still pre-
sides over the board of regents, and will, we
trust, have the great reward of seeing the en-
dowment of Mount Vernon put on perma-

river. were, it is known to the Wal
Department, privately purchased by
! the Governor of Arkansas and United
States Senator Mcdonald. They eX-
pected the Legislature would apprOpri-
ate necessary money to buy the arms
from them. The Governors telegram
to the Secretary of War, that he is sat
isiied that armed resistance to law is
contemplated, occasions much COM
ment among prominent officials, who
say they cannot understand why he
should entertain such fears, as he him
self states that the arms were thrown
overheard by the captors.

A Conversation with John Quincy
Adams

PETERSBURG, Va, October 19.-In
conversation with John Quincy Adams,
who was on his way home, he said that
the Southern people were as loyal as
any other people in the North. The
two races he found friendly disposed to-
ward each other, and the negroes were
peaceable in all cases, except where
they were melted or influenced by
carpet-baggers. Nothing was calcu-
lated to do greater harm than tue dis
reimbursement of the whites, which was
more extensive than he had any idea of,
and if the people of the North could see
the condition of the South, as he had,
reconstruction would soon 90 to the
wall. The negro now ruled the South
despotically, but that could not last;
for when the people were properly APP
pealed to on that question, the North
would never submit that ten of our best
States should be governed by an igno
rant and semi .barbarOus race.
On the subject of the Presidency he
said it was now too late to change the
candidates; that the election o: General
Grant was inevitable and such a move.
ment would materially damage the in
terests of the Democracy. He never
believed that Mr. Chase could have car
ried the day against Grant and Colfax
and did not now; nor was there, be
thought, more capable man to be
placed in the field, even if time were
afforded He condemned the platform
of the Democracy more than he did the
candidates, and thought the only issue
upon which they should have gone be-
fore the people was reconstruction. He
considered it very unfavOrable that such
men rs Wade Hampton, Forrest and 9TH
ers of that class ever participated in
the campaign. From the administra-
tion of General Grant he had the best
hopes that peace would be restored and
the question of negro domination ana
consequent ruin in the South be speed-
lily disposed of, aud that ere long we
would be living under the Constitution
as it was. As regards his own chances
as to the Governorship of Massachusetts
he said his nomination was more of a
compliment to him than anything else,
and that he had no idea of being elected
