A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain
are too intimately allied for the one to suffer with
out the other, 80 that dyspepsia and dependency
are inseparable 1t may be added, too, that irrita
ton of the stomach is almost invariably accompa-
MED by irritation Of the temper.
The iyigorating and tranquilizng operation oil

in cases of Indigestion. The first effect OF this

A mild glow pervs.des the system, the chronic un-
easness in the regoo of the stomach is lessened,
and the nervous restleSsness which characterizes

Sheep Require Water in Winter.

THAT sheep will eat snow and get along
tolerably well without water, especially
when the snow is light and clean, is good
argument in favor of the hardness of
these patient and useful animals but it
proves nothing in regard to the economy
Of compelling them to do without water.
In our cold climate q large amount of food
is required to keep up the animal heat,
and all the water sheep drinks has to be
raised to the temperature of the body
The heat required for this purpose is de-
rived from the food. Now, it requires
twenty one times as much heat to raise a
pint OF water, when frozen, to the temper
allure of 40 degrees, as it does a pint of
ice-cold water, not frozen. Those who
have ever undertaken to melt snow to
wash with will readily believe this state
ment. What would be said of the farmer
who should use wood or coal for such a
purpose when it could be avoided, and
yet wood and coal are far cheaper sources
OF heat than hay or corn. When we COM
pei sheep to eat snow, we, in effect, un-
dertake to melt snow by burning straw,
hay, and corn in the animal stove The
same remarks will apply to feeding ami
mails on frozen roots A sheep, weighing
say 100 lbs, will eat, in addition to lib.
eral allowance of hay and grain, 10 lbs of
roots day, containing nearly or quite 9
lbs OF water. Now, before the carbon in
the turnips can produce fat, or furnish
material to keep up the heat of the body,
it must first raise this frozen water to blood
heat. A flock of hundred sheep will
drink nearly two barrels of water day,
and there are few things more important
to the economical and successful Wintering
OF sheep than to see that they are con-
stantly or at least frequently and regular
ly supplied with water. A running stream,
brought by pipes into the barn yard, is
doubtless the best, but when this cannot
be obtained, the water should be pumped
up fresh for the sheep; and not allowed to
stand until frozen, and then the surface
broken and the ice left to float in the water
that the sheep have to drink. We do not
know that it would pay TO heat water for
sheep, but certainly it will not pay to make
them eat snow, or drink water with melt
ing ice in it.
Where early lambs are raised, it is i'm
portant to provide the ewes with a con-
slant supply of fresh water. If from ac-
cldent or neglect such sheep have been
kept without water for day or two,
nothing is more dangerous than to per-
NIT them to drink their fill of cold water
We once lost several sheep from this cause,
and have since heard of many similar in
stances. Take the chill off the water and
no danger need be apprehended. Suck
ling ewes require more water than other
sheep, and when roots are not fed, it
would undoubtedly contribute much to
obtaining good supply of milk for the
lambs if the ewes were furnished with
warm water, or, better still, warm, cooked
food, such as oatmeal and bran mash, or
boiled barley, etc.-American Agr1cm-

Ex.P Postmaster RandalPs OrOide Watch.

When the Hon. Ex-Governor Randall,
of Wisconsin, was Postmaster General of
the United States, he was notified by a
lottery swindling company of this city
that he had been fortunate enough to draw
a gold watch. He was incredulous and
paid no attention to the notice, but was
soon afterward agreeably disappointed at
receiving per express q handsome chro-
nometer of the real simon-pure metal,
and of finished workmanship. He imme.
diately became convert to gift enter
prises, and it appears has continued stead
fast in his new faith ever since.
The other day he was once more noti-
fled that he had drawn gold watch (this
time by Waters & Co., of 500 Broadway,
who pretended to be the assignees of a
bankrupt lottery enterprise), and that he
would receive 1t on payment of $40
commission. Yesterday he arrived in this
city, and going down to the United States
Express Company's Office, where he is
well known, he gave one OF the porters a
ten dollar bill, with instructions to 60 up
to Waters q Co. and get the prize.
The man obeyed, and entering the bogus
establishment, boldly inquired for the
watch which had been drawn by ex-
Postmaster General Randall" There was
great commotion among the clerks; sew
eral of them made show of looking
over huge ledger and then retired into
private office, whence they emerged in
o few minutes with an oroide watch. The
porter looked at the watch, thought it
would be worth ten dollars at any rate,
and handed over the money.
When he arrived at the office of the ex-
press company again, Mr.. Randall and a
crowd of eager employees were waiting
to receive him, and the watch was care
fully examined and appraised at SIS. After
hearty laugh all around, rattle of it
was gotten up, and the sum OF $25 was
realized among the boys. This was
handed, with all due selemnity, to Gen
eral Randall, and the whole party adj
Journed to aneighboring bar-room, whose
proprietor was soon richer by S25 than
he was before the General won the watch.

the eggs are sent to market; the retail
price Of such eggs is generally less than
penny each. These eggs are highly
esteemed in China, and always served in
good houses; but they have undergone a
strange transformation, which certainly
would not recommend them to English
palates; the yolk has assumed a decidedly
green tinge, and the white is set. When
broken, they emit that unpleasant sulphur
GUS smell which would certainly cause
their instant Punishment from our break
fast tables. However, the Chinese ere
admitted, even by Frenchmen, to be great

A Story for Lawyers.

The Valley of the Hackensack contains
still a certain number of old people, des-
pendants of the old Hollandish settlers !;
people who will speak Dutch in their
homes, and who are reported to jog on
faithfully adhering to old styles Of living
and to old ideas.
One of these old Dutchmen," as they
are irrevently called, riding on the Nor
thern Railroad the other day, noticed at
Englewood a handsome carriage, and
asked gentleman sitting not far from
him, a well-known New York lawyer,
whose it was.
" 1t belongs to Colonel Bank" replied
the lawyer.
"He must be rich man" observed the
settler.

Democratic Economy In New York.

THE Demo0atic party came into power
with great professions of retrenchment
During the year 1869, they furnished an
evidence of their frugality. The State
Prisons give fair test of the economical
purposes. In 1868, according to the ex-
hibit of his Excellency, the expenses of
the prisons of the State amounted to
$932,21220, and the earnings to $780,
1929, a deficit of 433,0S49S. The report
of the Comptroller for 1869 shows dis
bursements from the Treasury for prison
purposes of $1,095, S31.39, an increase
over 1868 of $163,61919, while the earn
ings were $4s9,4 81, a decrease of So
697.35. The entire deficiency for The year
is 644,79005, an increase over the de
