An 0utspoken American Bishop in the
| Council ~ Rome.
| Writing on the 3O,h uitimo, the Roman
correspondent Of the Tall Mall Gazette
says:
The day before yesterday a violen,
scene took place in the Council on the
delivery OF a speech by Nonsignor YER
OF, Bishop Of Savannah, United States,
the orator of the American Episcopate.
This discourse, pronounced 10 . voice
audible through the ball, vehemently
assaulted the dogma of infallibility, de-
claring that all the bishops who voted
in its favor would be guilty of sacrilege.
The majority met this imputation With
protesting cries, and the clamor became
SO furious that the President Legate
rang his bell. and called on the speaker
to retract the expression. Supported
BY N1nsisnOr Strossmeyer. the Bishop
OF Savannah refused, maintaining that
be was entitled to express his conscien-
tious opinion. He said he was the citi-
zen of country where every opinion
was free, and that, trained in freedom,
be would preserve his independence
even in the Ecumenical Council. Mon
signor Seues,rey, Bishop Of Ra;isbon,
spoke with equal force, bat 10 more

ments OF the vast majority of German
Catholics. The sitting broke up in
great agitation. Several members Of
the majority have awaited themselves Of
the new regulation to demand an imme
diate vote. As there are yet seventy
fathers inscribed to speak on the ques
ton, the cardinal legates referred for
to the Pope. and the Holy
Father decided there shonld be no inter-
ference with the debate. The bishops
Of the minority are now acting in con-
cert with the ministers Of the Catholic
powers. Conferences have been held
It both the Austrian and French embas-
lies, and it was fnaIly arranged ,ha,
he bishops should sign a collective note

DHRyING N CALIroRNIA-A California cor
respondent OF the Utica Herald gives some
interesting fscts and statistics about d4irying
in California He states that there are 800
diaries in California, having 80 TO $50 cows
each The COWS are generally a cross imported
with Mexican stock. They pick their own
feed from the lst Of January TO the 3lst day Of
December Good grazing lands are cheap and
abundant The Coast Range mountains eX-
tend from Meudocino TO San Diego, upwards Of
300 miles. Bathei by the frequent fog Of the
ocean. there Is p enty Of moisture when all else
where is dry. This range Of mountains possesses
valley Of great extent and fertility Il is full OF
springs, while bunch grapes aud wild oats are
found in ine1haustsble quantities. This Is there
fore, Of course fine section for the dairy bust
ness, as the land Is also very cheap.
In 1867, California produced 900, goo
pounds Of butter and 100000 pounds of
cheese. This year the product is estimated at
100000 pounds Of butter, and 400, 900
pounds Of cheese Owing to the dryness Of
the climate, cheese cures very rapidly The
rennets usei by the cheese makers are imported
from Germany
The dairy farm Of Laird and Kellogg is stu
sted in Santa Cruz county and is stocked with
400 cows. During the past year the milk OF
200 was used for butter, and that Of the other
200 for cheese The CONS MIXED for butter
turned out 10000 pounds, which Was sold al
an average price Of 81 cents, amounting to
$4,000. The COWS MIXED for cheese produced
10000 pounds, which wss sod at Is cents,
amounting TO Sl+ 400, making the gross re-
turns Of 400 cows -, 900, besides the calves
raised and the pork produced fro;n the whey
The cows are worth on an average $40 each.
The correspondent adds that - there axe
millions aud millions Of acres Of unoccuri-
Ell land in the State, with every possible
facility for the dairy business So il appears
quite certain that California Will produce her
own butter and cheese, and may become rival
ofthe Eastern States in the marke: Of the world

! IEEEITIC CAT AND RAT Story The fol-
lowing Is given by farmer living near Peru, as
a yer,table truth, to the best Of his ability
He was sitting in his barn silently engaged
in nending an old harness, when he observed
his ilvorite cat Tom cautiously approaching an
opening behind two barrels Tom squatted near
che point of observation, his tail moving with
majestic slowness. his ears set forward inquir-
ugly, while his body glidei nearer and nearer
the opening Suddenly he shot forward like a
black bolt Of lightning. and quickly back
again, bringing with h,m a huge rat. The rat
struggled violently and sQuealed terribly, but
Tom laughed. his long black tail proudly per-
peudiculsr. Tom laughed before he was out Of
the woods, for the terrible screams of his victim
called whole regiment Of rats to the rescue.
They rushed in upon Tom from every point Of
the compass, too swift and too numerous TO be
counted.
Tom was surprised out Of his discretion and
sprung up three feet from the floor, with rat
holding to each hind leg, and the rest eager for
him TO come down. He came down. of course,
and then began a most fearful struggle. Tom
swore terribly (in cat-latin), furious fell his
blows. The rats tough; in silence, except when
Toms sharp teeth met under the backbone of
some luckless wretch Tom WAS losing ground /;
the pressure was TOO great for him he was
down. two or three cinging to each leg, a
dozen at his thro4t, and rats swarming all over
him At this critical moment Amazon cat,
with her two grown kittens, leaped from the hay
NOV and pitched in for Tom. This timely rein
forcement soon ended the struggle. Tom limped
away, bleeding freely. but the dead and dying

which is of very great interest to every farmer-

three times as much as they need TO, for the rea-
son that the team il stopped, and a hand sent to

little lob done that any farmer Of ordinary in

The thrifty farmer will always lay asiae pieces
Of timber of different kinds, to be used for re-
pairs These he often finds in his woodphe, snd
he lays them up where be can get them or send

a box of screws Of different sizes, with good
screw driver and several ginlets. That hrst
and last of all carpenters tools for the farmer
