We form Judgements OF men from
little things about their houses, of
which the owners perhaps never

Hees them do. But men are not ac-
customed TO buy books unless they

The Heratd's special contains the
following:
As an illustration OF the severe or.
deal through which the heads OF de-
partnaents aud bureas have to PASS In
complying with the econunrissl
sdicts OF Congress, may relate what
transpired between Gen. Spinner,
United States Treasurer, and one OF
the force of employees.
Among the ladies discharged from
the Registers Bureau was one who
had obtained her appointment on
the RECOMMENDATION OF Gen. Grant and
Commodore Porter. When notified
that she was one Of the unfortunates,

General Dent, written by direction

Food and shelter. for
Cows.

Some years ago q farmer, Of our
acquaintance, found himself In pos
session. at the coming In of winter,
Of thirty-tw0 cows. with only stable
room enough fnr ten Of the number.
The balance were consigned 10 an
open SIZED, with Rack running along
tina enclosed side, and fed with hay
alone. Those In the stable I'm addi.
ti0n to the hay, had about q quart OF
Indian meal aday each, till the ap-
proach Of spring, when they ceased
to be MIXED. Besides this, they
were thoroughly carded, each morn
ing before being turned In the yard
for the day-an attention which
those out side did not enjoy. Some
said that feeding meal would stop
the flow Of milk by giving too much
flesh to the animals, but no such re-
suit followed. The cows continued
In excellent health, supplied . fair
quantity Of rich milk and were alto
gether In better condition, In the
spring, than those In the open shed.
The meal undoubtedly had some
thing TO do with the difference, but
not more, perhaps, than WAS caused
by the daily cardiBg TO which the
stable stuck were subjected RHrai

On a certain Saturday night tho
clerks of the bank OF England could
not make the balance come out right
