1t is fast coming to be understood that fm
the manufacture of butter simply, great
mixers are not always the best cows. II
say nothing of the superior buttcr-mahing
qualities of Jersey cattle, the difference in
butter-making capacity between different cow.
of any breed, depends very slightly on the
quantity of milk they give aud almost entirely
on its quality. A COW giving ten quarts Of
milk per day will often make more butter
than another Of the same breed giving sixteen
quarts and where this is the case, if the
business is exclusively, or chiefly, the manu-.
facture Of butter, the smaller mixer is much
the more profitable, for the reason that the
skinned milk is usually of little value, exc
cept for the manufacture Of pork, and this
will not compensate for the greater amount
Of food that the larger mixer consumes.
For butter diaries, then, it should be our
AIM setting aside all other considerations, to
select such animals as ample experience has
shown will make the largest quantity of but
ter from given amount of food Whether
the food be fed TO one animal or 20 two. is "a
matter of little consequence What we want
is to get the most money as the result for its
consumption; and this is often attained by
feeding it to a larger number of smaller
mixers. In the case of thoroughbred AMI.
mails the advantage of the larger number of
cows is still greater, for the reason that thoy
give us more valuable calves.

A CONFEDERATE WILL CoNTEsrED.-A

A CONFEDERATE WILL CoNTEsrED.-A
remarkable case is now pending in the
Chancery Court at Selma, Ala, in which
it is sought to o-invalidate will, made un-
dor peculiar circumstances during the ex.
istence Of the late Confederate govern.
ment.d ..'.'@7. - >H'a7 -
During che late war ii seems that
wealthy planterresiding in Dallas county,
Ala. was desirous oflcaving his principal
estate, valued at tovere50U,080, tohis heirs,
consisting t,f a brother and sisters eand
their children residing ut the North.
Fearing that if he made them his legatecs
under a will. lie being a bachelor, that the
property would becomeconfscated by tho
Confederate government, he devised the
whole OF his property to nephew and
neice, then residing in Alabama. A secret
memorandum syas afterwards drawnsup,
by which he directed how he desired that
his estate should be divided and disposed
of among his Northern beirs.r This
the will, not being written orsi igned by the
testator, but which the nephew sacredly
promised 10 see executed and carried out.
The testator died in October, 1864, and
the nephew and niece, before they could
exeute the trust reposed in them, died
soon after. The husband ofthe niece prom
ised:the nephew, on his isdeath-bed, thathe
would solemly carry out his uncles desires
as expressed in the secret. memorandum,
but the husband afterwards administered
on the estate and claimed it in right Of
his child by his deceased wife, the niece.
One Of the principal heirs TO- the catate
is Mrs. Joanna Housman, of New York,
the half sister Of the tcStator, who has Sc.
cured the valuable services ofour talented
friend, Sam. C. Reid, Esq, together with
Mcssrs. Pettuse a. Dawson, Of Selma, as
associate counsel, The defense is repre-
sentcd by Gen. John T. Morgan, of the
Selma bar.
The grounds upon which the heirs seek
to annul the will are, that it was madein
fear Of and to avoid the laws of the Con.
federate States, being in the nature of
fidei cop1missa, or secret trust, by which
the legatecs were substituted in, place Of
the real and intended heirs, and is there
fore void. That the secret memorandum
being made after the will. shows the real
intention and wish of the testator by af.
terwards making totally different dis
position of his property, but which being
without the requirements OF tho law, is
also null and void 1t consequently fol-
lows that there was no valid or legal
testament, and the testator; must be con-
sidered as having died intestate, in which
case his property goes to his heirs at law.
The case will be argued in February
next, and as ltinvolves question Of great
moment, the decision will no donbt prove
interesting to the legal profession.

principle, that never will do; there is
not money. enough to buy me-" The gen,
teman remained silent, and Mr.. Pollard
resumed: "0r, if publish this article
this !, am willing 10 dol will open my
columnB to Mr. Grant, and l will print,
line tor line, and word for word, whatever
he may write in contradiction OF the ar
tirle."
The gentleman asked: "Mr Pollard can
l see the article you have prepared tor
publications." NJ. Pollard turned to me
and said: "Havc you any objection to MIR.
- reading it?" replied: "None in
the least" and passed the proof sheet to
him. He read it over carefully: and con
Guiding; remarked: Dwell, that is not SO
bad asss I expected it would be; neyerthe-
less. there is not one word Of truth in the
whole of it," Mr.. Pollard demurred:
.'How is it. Mr.. -, then, that all
these stories are going about? I myself
have made inquiries, and feel justified in
making them public through my paper"
Mr.. for the third or fourth time,
related the circumstances of the case,
adding: "Now, that is all there is in it."
Still another and last interview was had
early OH Friday morning, between this
same gentleman and Mr.. Pollard. The
former did not seat himself, but appearing
ut the door of the editorial room, deliv-
cred his message: "Mr. Pollard, your
propositions are declined; [. can do moth
ing further" Mr. Pollard responded:
"Well, SIR" and there the matter ended.
The paper was at once put to press, and
in it was the fatal article.
The paper appeared on Saturday morn
ing, and the sensation it produced was
very apparent; but the day passed with
out any intimation from any member or
friend of. the Grant family that they
would seek reparation in any manner, or
avail themselves of the columns of the
Opinion as a medium of correction.
Saturday Mr.. Pollard remained in his
office all day, purposely, as he said, to re-
ceivc any gentleman that might call as
the spokesman Of the Grant party. Un-
expectedly to him, he was waited upon
in tho afternoon of that day BY several
eentlemen-parties to an entire different
aflair-who felt themselves aggrieved by
another article in the same number of the
Opinion. This Interview was a formal
one, but it was finally adjourned to the
next Monday, when it was amicably set
tied with all save one Of the parties. He.
(Mr. Pollard) had determined to challenge
the next morning; but before even the
note was pcnned, II. Rives Pollard had
fallen by the hand Of an unseen iQe.
