The New York World, which has been
puzzling over seme of her MS, COM
plains that Mrs. Cady Stanton's hand
writing is less clear than her convic-
tions. By the way, it is related that
when this lady was a child of seven,
playing one day in her fathers Office, a
couple of women entered with some
pitiful complaint. Her father, an emi-
nent attorney, though sympathizing
with their trouble, informed them that
there was no redress, and read out the
passages applicable to their case, mark
ing them with his pencil. The child
listened, burning with indignation, and
when alone in the office, found the OBJ
noxious passages which her father bad
marked, and proceeded to amend the
code by cutting them out with her scis-
sOrs.

Wholesale and Retail.

II must draw the line somewhere, +"
said the barber when he refused to
shave a coal-heaver, and this is the SEN
timent which apparently actuates all
that mysterious portion of the commu-
nifty known as society. But where to
draw the line is the question. Mrs.
Wholesale looks down upon Mrs. Retail
as mot in our set, my dear, not in our
set;' while Mrs. Retail despises Mrs.
Corner Grocery for the same benevolent
reason; and Mrs. Corner Grocery con-
tennis Mrs. Huckster, thereby taking a
sweet revenge for having been sighted
by those whom she considers above her
in the social scale-because they out
weigh her with money and SO cause
her, metaphorically, to kick the beam.
True enough is it that money
makes the mare 60" and how eagerly
does every one desire "the stamps of
fate the sanction of a god" And yet
there is no intrinsic difference between
these various sets of people. They all
gain their living by buying and selling,
some more, some less. Birth, educa-
ton, character, 60 for little or nothing.
Money is the mercury of fashionable
life, and as IL rises or falls, expands or
contracts, Sc is the fashionable atmos-
phere warmer or colder. Each class re-
CARDS with veneration the one posses
sing more money than itself, and with
contempt the one possessing less; all
treating each other in the manner
described in the "Toilers of the Sea-"
by Victor Hugo: a Chinese silk, ste-
len during the last war from the palace
of the Emperor, represents a shark eat
ing crocodile, who is eatinga serpent,
who is eating an eagle, who is eating
swallow, who is eating caterpillar.
All nature is devouring or devoured.'
1t is, however, well that some distinc-
tiOn should exist; and, until intellect
is taken as the standard, money must
serve as the test, since the possession of
il implies the presence also of many of
the retinements, graees, which charm
and delight,

A late number of the Bingham (Hl.)

A late number of the Effiugham (nl.)
Democrat speaks of a couple of fellows
in that county who have been swapping
women. 1t appears that at or near Ma
son, preacher named Dentz traded his
daughter TO his neighbor, named Burns,
for his wife, agreeing to give as boot be-
tween the daughter am wife, $4,000. In
accordance with this trade the husband
left the wife and took the daughter off
to st. Lsuis, and the wife placed herself
under the care of the trading preacher.
After Burns had frolicked around St.
Louis a while with the daughter, they
returned to Mason and demanded his
boot money, which the Reverend old
scoundrel refused to pay, and then Burns
had him arrested for seducing his wife,
and the trial developed the above facts.

A VINEYARD on EMERY FARM.

Some day in the future the art and
practice of wine making will be as
familiar and universal among us as
the manufacture of cider is now
And the juice of the grape, properly
prepared, is greatly superior to that
of the apple in strength and health
giving clements. 1t is an easy mat
ter for the majority of farmers to
provide ample supplies of wine for
their household use, at compare.
lively trifling cost. A half acre in
each hundred of cultivated land set
with vines of hardy varieties would
be sufficient, if well cared for, to
furnish both fruit and wine for the
number of people occupying, on the
average, that area. Doubtless there
are limited regions in our country
where grapes would not succeed but
the area is vast where they would
thrive to q sufficient degree to make
the growing Of them for family use
satisfactory; although it might be
be far from profitable to raise them
for market. In any neighborhood or
locality where solitary vine does
well, it is certain that enough others
will thrive to supply the wants of the
population. BY such universal plant
ing only can we hope to see the rural
population of our land supplied with
fruit and wine; for the products OF
the favored grape regions, where the
culture is carried on extensively, will
be mostly absorbed by cities. Let
every farmer have his vineyard as
we'll as his orchard, not planted with
view to selling its products, but to
consuming them in his own family
1t is pretty safe to assert that where
apple trees will flourish some variety
of grapes will do tolerably well along
side of them. The manufacture Of
wine for home use should be conduct
ed almost precisely like that of cider

IMPROVE YOUR NATIVE CATTLE.

In the course Of q tolerably extern
sive observation, we have not seen in
the United States, better class of
what are known as native cattle, than
are to be found scattered throughout
Virginia, Tennessee and parts of
North Carolina. And wherever we
have found the cattle especially clean
and we'll shaped, we have invariably
learned on inquiring, of some one or
moro fine bulls that Mr.. So-and-So
brought into the neighborhood, some
years ago. Indeed, to go back to the
beginning, all of our cattle are de-
scended from English breeds, though
most of them have fallen long ways
below the ancestral type. These
facts, however, suggest the point
that we wish to present, which is:
the Importance of improving our ma
tive cattle. 1t is very true that if
there were no cattle here, and if our
farmers had money plenty and to
spare, we should say to one and to
all, stock your farms with pure blood,
high bred cattle alone. But as the
native cattle are here, and as our
farmers have not money enough, and
none to spare, our advice is very diff
ferent. As things are, we say buy a
pure bred bull OF the best adapted
brood to your purposes. Or if you
are not able alone to buy such an
animal, get one or more of your
neighbors to join with you. Buy
judiciously, but do not stand back fol
the price. If the animal in question
is the best of his class, buy him.
Then, never breed from any but 6
purely bred bull. Sell off your i'll
formed heifers and castrate all YOU
bull calves, no matter how handsome
Change your bull every two years
but mind you always get purel.
bred one.
Follow this course, and it will b,
but few years until your cattle will
be sought for, far and near, at biz
prices.
While we give this advice to thu
million, there are other farmers, mel
of wealth and management, who hav
the means and facilities for breedin,
any of the breeds pure. Upon al
such it is incumbent, as their duty
to procure and to keep the very hes
of cattle. For aside from any ques
ton of profit, we hold that the me
Of wealth and means owe it, as dut
to their neighbors, to use that wealt
so as to confer the greatest benefit o
others, at the same time that the
reap their own just profits. Q
course such men are not preclude
from breeding grade cattle as OIL
ers do, but their speciality should b
thorough breds, from which other
could procure stock animals to in
prove their grade CATTLE Dix
