Animal Instinct.

THE instinct of animals is sometimes
really surprising. There was once in the
possession of farmer in Clonmel a goose
that, by accident, was left without mate
or offspring, male or female. Now it
CHANGED that the good wife had set num-
Der of ducks eggs under hen, which in
due time were incubated, and of course
the ducklingS took to the water, seeing
which the motherly old hen was i'm sad
pucker-ber maternity urging her to fol-
low the brood, and her seltishness to re-
main on dry land. In the meantime up
sailed the goose with clack and clatter,
which interpreted, meant Z" Let me take
care of them" She swan up and down
with the youngsters, and when they
wearied of their aquatic excursions re-
committed them to the guardianship of
the hen. In the morning down came the
ducks. There was the goose, and the hen
was in great illustration. On this occasion
we do not know if the goose invited the
hen for friendly sail, but it is the fact
that, being near the shore, the hen jumped
upon her back, and in company they cruis-
ed up and down, as il were, conveying the
feathered tiotilla. Day after day the hen
on board the goose, might be seen in per-
feet content and good humor. Numbers
of people came to visit this extraordinary
occurrence, which happened day after day
until the juvenile excursionists arrived at
the days of discretion, and, fully posted
in maritime matters, no longer needed the
services of "goose and hen, pilots, in
structors," etc.

Grant and COrbin.

Not many months ago the country was
informed that the friendly and kindly re-
lations which had existed between Ulysses
Simpson Grant and his brother -in-law
COrbin, had cen broken.
1t will be remembered that this man
COrbin reinforced divers crop-mOving
theories concOcted by one Fisk-formerly
a peddler-fAs hioned after such way
that the mind of the President of the
United States was strongly impressed
thereby. and that mischief did result from
the practical application of those theo-
ries in consequence of which, because of
his dignity and patriotism, and sense of
honor, the individual Grant did asseverate
that he would no more cOnsort with his
brOther in-law COrbin. A day or two ago
New York newspaper said Mr.. Grant
is now on a visit to Mr. Corbin. The
entente cordial, if ever broken, is now

C0lfax as an Office Dispenser.

AS we stated last week, we will give
the reader report that has reached US
concerning transaction in naval cadet
ship, IN which the "smiler," COlfax, fig
ured We give the statement as we
heard il:
About four years ago, when Colfax was
Speaker of the House, he visited LOgans-
port. While there, a Mr.. BIT applied
to him for cadetshIp for his son in the
Naval Academy, at Annapolis. COlfax
took the youths name, and promised the
father that his son should be appoint
ed as soon as he returned to Washington.
Mr. BIT rested his case here, having
the most implicit confidence ia the
"smiler." In week or two after, how
ever, Laporte was visited by Dir. b,
a peddler or broker in offices, who hir ted
to Mr. b tt that he understood his son
desired cadetship; that there was con-
siderable red tape business to be gone
through with in such cases; but, for the
consideration of $500, ne would secure
the position for bis son. Mr.. BIT was
indignant at the idea. He had taken the
word of the Christian statesman and pro-
fessiOnal "smiler" that his son should
have the position. BIT did not
bite at the bait. But DIR. McC.
did. He wanted his son appointed, and
$500 was mere trifle. His son was ap-
pointed, and Mr. B-r, the office ped
der, or broker, had transferred to him
$500 in shares of Logansport Gas company
stock, by Mr.. Nee. How much of this
stock was afterward transferred to Colfax
we did not learn but he, and not B-r.
had the disposal of the cadetship in Col
fax's district.
Now, as Greeley says in an article which
we copy in today's Democrat, this cadet
ship should be thoroughly sifted The
guilty should be pointed out and held up
to scorn. There certainly is decency
enough left in the REPUBLICAN party to
investigate this affair. We want Greeley
to press the matter, and we believe our
informatira will be found to be correct.
Let the rascals be scourged, as warn
ing to gamblers, brokers and peddlers in
public positions.
If Grant las converted the appointing
power into 1. gift which ev-
eryone knoy,s,-it is safe to say that he
was but initiating others of the Radical
party-the party of corruption and fraud.

Butter Making.

The editor of the New England Farmer
says that good butter cannot be made with
out careful observance of the following
rules:
1. Perfect cleanliness in every thing,
from the milking of the COW to packing
the butter down.
2. A dry and well-ventilated room in
which to set the milk, at temperature of
from so deg. to 63 deg.
3. Cream not to stand over thirty six
hours -twenty.four is frequently better
in winter; and in summer, twelve to
eighteen hours, in most dairy rooms.
4. Stir the cream, and add a little salt
at each time Of skimming the milk.
5. Churn often; twice or three times a
week is better than only once.
6. One ounce of salt to a pound Of but
ter will more nearly meet the average
taste than a larger or smaller quantity.

Neuralgia.

TIE certain cure of neuralgia is found
in iudiciOus eating and exercise; and not
only so, permanent cure cannot be eff
fected in any other way, while these are
always efficient.
In neuralgia the blood is always too
thick, impure and in excess; and as diet
and exercise combine to remedy these
conditions, some rules in relation to them
are desirable. These will be adapted to
sedentary persons, to those who live in
door generally, as, women, students, book
keepers, and the like.
1t is rather better to eat thrice day,
morning, noon, and night that is, as
soon sitter sunrise as practicable, for
breakfast dinner about clock supper
before sundown.
Eat nothing whatever between meals.
Breakfast, single cup of coffee, or tea !;
some cold bread and butter, with dish of
berries or stewed fruit in summer time,
and nothing else; in winter, meat, fish, or
poultry, or, in their stead, couple of
soft boiled eggs.
Supper should be made of cold bread
and butter, and a cup of warm drink OF
some kind, and nothing else.
Dinner the same as breakfast, addin Q
one vegetable and some fruit, raw or
stewed, as a desert, and nothing else. A
different kind of vegetable may be taken
every day for variety; the kind Of meat
may be changed at each meal.
The object in the specification above
made is to discourage variety at meals.
because it is this which tempts all to eat
too much. Persons at times have felt at
the table that they had eaten enough; but
on seeing a very inviting dish uneXpect-
edly brought in, a good meal has been
eaten of this last variety. The general
and hurtful error is that too great variety
is spread on our tables, not only occasion.

A Chinese Novel.

HERE is the plot of Chinese novel
cent review of Chinese literature by Jes-
sic E. Ringwalt:
GA husband and wife, after years of
constant pickering, finally differ serious
ly about the marriage of their twin
daughters. These lovely girls are as
sweet and charming as the twin blossoms
of the brilliant rose, or the flowers of the
odorous herb bending before the breeze.
"The husband is absolutely determined
to dispose of them according to his own
choice, and the wife, with equal obstinacy,
claims the same right The parents each
select their favorite suitors, and the mar
riage presents, which are an indispensable
preliminary, are brought to the house at
the same moment.
1.-THE irate father drives away with con-
tumely the porters who bear the presents
sent by the suitors chosen by the mother,
and his wife filings aside with contempt
those presented by her husbands favor
ties.
1.-THE debate wakes warmer, and threat
ems to become interminable, and the case
is at length carried before the official who
has legal Jurisdiction over contests be-
tween parents. The magistrate is a pru-
dent and worthy man, who, after listening
carefully to the question at issue, de-
mands that the daughters shall be sum
moned.
"Tbe young girls are brought and kneel
before the tribunal The magistrate per-
mits them to remain silent, but orders
them to exhibit their preference by bow
ing either to the right, where the suitors
chosen by the mother are ranged, or to
the left, where stand those selected by the
father.
"The four sutors are equally repulsive
to the girls, and the twins perseveringly
bow their heads, and rest their eyes
steadily upon the floor. The magistrate
approaching the feelings of the daugh.
tiers, instantly dismisses all the suitOrs
and endeavors to negotiate peace be.
tween the belligerents but, as he fails
utterly in his pacific intentions, he pro
poses plan of adjustment-the Chinese
specific for the cure of all evils-a com
petitive examination.
"The two men who shall prepare the
best essay upon a given subject, shall be
come the husbands of the twins. NJ
possible objection can be offered to such
an admirable scheme, and the examina
ton takes place. But, unfortunately, only
one essay is found worthy of acceptance
and the author of it absolutely refuses t
be married, because the higher power
have condemned him to celibacy. II,
explains that he has been six times be
trothed, and six times have his lady love
died suddenly as the victims of terribl,
fate. Learned astrologers, consulted upol
the subject, have declared that he will al
ways be the subject of misfortune to
wife. Perhaps So answers the wis
magistrate, you will be the cause of mis-
fortune to wife, but not to-twoi'
IAN argument so irresistible over
whelms all present, the difficulties ar
vanquished, and the fortunate ESSAYS
