BLACK LAs1Bs.-Dr. Randall, author
of the Practical Shepherd, in answer
to correspondent who inquired If q
black Merino lamb proves impurity OF
blood on the part Of the sire or dam,
says it does not, and adds:
eve have heretofore stated that
black lambs occasionally appeared
among the pure blood focks OF Spain
in their palmiest days-that they ap-
reared and continued to appear at rare
intervals in their best descendants in
the United States. To the question
whether they should be excluded from
the flock, we answer yes. A black eve
many never have a black lamn-ye'
we should expect this color would bt
more likely to crop out in some OF hel
descendants than in those of white
eve, and consequently that breeding
from her would increase the tendency
in flock to produce black lambs"

THE Color OF MuLEs.-In long

which it puts in the form of a review
Of a book on that animal published
by a Philadelphia house, the writer
says:
Color has much to do with the val

Of any color are generally the best.
The white mule is the least hardy,
though an iron gray is almost inva-
riably a serviceable animal. Cream
mules. with hair, name and tail all
of the same color, are frail; but those
with black name and tail, striped
legs, and a black stripe across the
shoulders and the back, are more
hardy and more apt to resemble the
lack than mare. Pintos, or spottee
mules, are the least valuable OF thell
race" 49,.

A DRovER ON FATTENING CAT
u.E.-Mr. Bella S. Hastings, who is one
of the leading drovers from Vermont,
in snnplyipg cattle for the. Boston
market. gave his experience and OBJ
seryation in relation to fattening stock
at a late meeting OF the Caledonla
County Farmers Club.
He said the main object of the iar'
mer was to get the most out OF his TOD

a poor creature, one that does not tax

the grain fed was wasted by not beln

: noint ia farmers do not feed heav
enough. He would commence with
. much feed as they could bear at firsl

e quarts of meals, the last four quar-
i are worth twice as much as the fir

Smuggling Extraordinary.
A sPECULAroR IN DIAMONDS CLEyERL1
CAUGHT.

In the Times of last Friday morning
appeared a four-Gne item to the effect
that John Parks had been arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Hoyne, charged with smuggling dia-
monds. The case which was continued
in bail of $1,000, came up again on yes
terday before the same commissioner.
The man Parks, a gaily dressed
Young fellow, was present in the COM
missioner's office, as were the witness
SEES in the case. He plead not guilty to
the charge, and said that he had mate
rial witnesses who were absent from
the city. The government detectives
gave their testimony in part, which,
however, was of SO important nature
that Commissioner Hoyne felt it his
duty to increase the bail bonds to
$4,000.
| From Captain Harrington, one of the
detectives in this case, this much Ii
learned of the modus operandi under
which Parks works: The prisoner ha'

A Strange and Dcplorablc Case
HOW A YOUNG GIRL WAS RUINED.

From the st Joseph Gazette.I |
We heard yesterday the singular his

inmate of house of prostitution IN
this city. She is scarcely seventeen

good bl eeze would blow her away, ana
vet now is as deeply stepped in vice as

A year or so ago she resided In st.
Louis, and moved in respectable socie-
tv. 4 young man of disselute habits
cIandestinely made VOWS of love and
affection to her, but she abhorred him
for his general conduct and character,
and refused to have anything to do
with him.
Last January he renewed his pro
fessions, and asked her to meet HIM
at a certain place, to go to minister
aud have the marriage ceremony per-
: formed. He threatened at that time
if she did not go he would shoot her
D and any man she might associate with
: She did not go, and a few days there
a after he renewed his request, with the
same result. A few nights after this
: he met her at ball and renewed his
a attentions. Twice during the evening
:, he brought her what he represented
|, and what appeared to be raspberry
lemonade.
re This she now believes to have con
', tanned some strong liquor or drug
IS She says that it had a strange, be
wildering effect upon her mind, ant
q that he then made her drink secon
glass of the same liquor; took her D
l. the arm and held her: said she woul
