The Colored Cadet.

The case Of the colored cadet is
happily disposed Of without threat
cning any very serious conse.
quences, either to the West Point
Academy or to the general militia
ry service. The charges were so
clearly proved that the defendant
was forced to an admission OF the
unmilitary offences alleged, but
claimed, in Piles Of justification
or apology, that it was after all
but "a little unpleasantness," an
affray such as often occurs in the
cadet corps, and not really deserv-
ing of the special importance
which had been attached to it.
The only point upon which there
was conflicting testimony was
that in relation to the blow which
the colorcd cadet inflicted upon
his white fellow-cadet with 3 dip
pcr-whether it was the jagged
end or the smooth bottom Of the
culinary uteasil that had been
used, and whether it was the side
or the top of the head which re-
ceived the blow. The defendant
admitted the bottom Of the dipper,
but denied the top Of the head.
The Court was not long in making
up it's verdict: but, as the decision
goes through the War Department
to the President for approval or
otherwise. it will be some time,
lingering weeks perhaps, before
the public anxiety is relieved as to
the final result.
The fact is, that poor Smith,
seems to have g hard time among
his white brethren, they not being
very fond Of the "man and bro
ther." He will scarcely be sble
to remain at West Point, much
longer, even if he gets out Of the
dipper scrape.

the following in regard to the dan
gers through which he passed:
while we were around the YES.
sci, and during the whole time we
were out, the sea was alive with
sharks; their fms could be seen
sticking up on all sides. This is
probably the reason why those
who were left on board the ship
refused to leave. When we ap.
preached the shore, the water was
fairly black with sharks, and most
Of us became alarmed for fear that
we might be capsized in beaching
the boat, and BE dcyoured by them.
The breakers ran very high. Ev-
cry oar was manned, and, select
ing a good place, we made through
the surf for the beach. The bow
of the boat grounded when large
wave receded, and in a moment
after a wave raised the stern end
Of the boat and turned it clear
over. 1t fell bottom-side mp and
spilled US all out. Those Of Us

How Little Land VIII Keep
a Cow.

4 correspondent sends tho fol-
lowing admirable statement: I
wish to give the result Of an OK
per,mcnt in soiling. On the lst
day Of June last l commenced
cutting clover for one COW con-
fued in a yard inciosed by u high
tight board fence, with = stable
attached in which she has been
fed. She has had no fecd but
freshly cut clover from the lst Of
June to tho 18th Of October, and
all taken from one-fourtb Of an
acre Of ground. She has averaged
eighteen quarts Of strained milk
per day, from which my wife has
made eight pounds Of battcr per
week, during the four and q halt,
mouths. The COW is five years
Old, and a cross OF the Ayrshire
and Durham. She las given more
milk. more butter, and ot. a better
quality: than she has ever. done on
pasture. On another fourth Of an
acre, by moving four times, | have
secured two tons Of good hay. On
one-cighth Of an acre | bave raised
$50 bushels OF sugar beets and car
rots, which with tho two tons Of
hay will keep her handsomely
through tho balance Of the year.
The labor Of cutting clover for the
COW is less than that Of driving
hor three-fourths of a mile to pas
ture; besides the MANURE saved is
quite al item. In the dairy dis
tricts, the usual estimate is four
acres to the COW, on the hay and
pasture system, whereas by soil,
ing and raising roots fye-ei4htbs
Of an acre is found to DO sufficient.
| will state further, what l believe
from nearly thirty years expe.
riepce in farming, that there is no
crop so vsiuable for soiling as clo-
YER, no crop, so many pounds o!
which, aud Of equal value for milk
and butter, can be produced from
an acre Of ground. Sweet corn is
good crop tor late feeding where
clover will not grow, hut not
profitable for winter feeding.

chow is That for High ?"

Brick Pomcroy, in his Drmocrat,
thus explains the paternity of the
above popular interrogation. In
answer to correspondent, Pome-
roy says:
Henry Ward Beecher is the an
thor of the sentence, which has
become so popular. At the time
Of the Cleveland Convention, in
1864. when John Cochran was by
certain disafected Republicans
nominated for the Presidency,
Henry Ward Beecher, the author
of the phrase, Its most ID hot, "
was at the Spaulding House, Biug-
hampton, n. Y. While there:
waiting for the train to bear him
west, he became acquainted with q
fe1. gentlemen, among them a con-
ductor of the Erie railroad, named
C. O. Graves, who was q strong
Republican, a great admirer OF
Beecher, and q member Of the
same church.
TO while away the time before
the train which was to bear him
westward should arrive, it was
deemed best to seek a little quiet
amusement in a private parlor. by

happened between himself and
the girls relatives, (all Of which
was true and finally told them
that there was q letter on the way

severe sickness of a little sister OF

he would leave the girl when she

Strange Secrets Of the Sto-
mach.

Tho following shocking disclo-
sure IS creating great excitement
at this moment in all parts Of the
country. The chemical connee-
ton spoken OF between tea aud
leather Was; doubtless, discovered
By tile coolies Of North Adams:
"When VIC pour milk iuto 4 cup
of tea or coffee, tue albumen Of the
milk aud tho tann;n Of the tea In
stautly unite and form leather. or
minute cakes Of the very same
compound which is produced in
the texture Of tho tauuod hide,
and which makes it leather IS dis
tinsuishcd from the original skin.
In the co1rso OF year tea drlnS-
er OF average hubits will have I'M
bibed leather cnouyh to make q
pair Of shoes, if it could be put in
to the proper shape for tue pur-
pose"
y great many things so into
tho mouth. This is not all origi-
nal remark. We havo seen it
somewhere. But it is an alarming
fact. We drink every one Of US, a
pair. of boots yoar! We carry
iron enough in our blood, con-
stantly, to mako horseshoe.
We have clay enough in our
frames to make, if properly sepa-
rated and baked, d dozon good
sized bricks. We eat, here in
Chicago, at least peck Of dirt .
month-no, that is not too large
an estimate. The man who care
lessly tips glass Of lager into
his stomach, little reflects that be
has begun the manufacture of c
hat, yet such is the case. The
malt Of the beer assimilutes with
the chyle and forms sort Of
felt-the very same seen so often
10 hat factories. But not being
instantly utilized, it is lost. Still
further it is estimated that the
bones in every adult porson re-
quire to be fed with lime enough
make a marble mantel every eight
months.
To sum up, wo have the follow
ing astounding aggregate OF ar
tic!cs charged to account Of ply
siology, to keep every poor shack
on bis feet for three score years
and ten:
Mems shoes, 70 years, q ! pr. 8

Bricks, IL per years. ........ 100 bricks.
Hats, not less than IA q year. ....... $50 hats.
Mantels, g 1t a year. .... .i03 manteis.
Here we arc surprised to observe
that we eat as many shoes as We
wear, and 4 sufficient number Of bats
to supply a large family Of boys;
that we float in our blood vessels
horse shoes enough to keep q span
of grays shod all the while; that
We carry in our animated clay,
bricks enough to build modern
fireplace, and in our bones marble
enough 10 supply all our neigh
bors with mantels. We have not
figured on the soil, st the rate ofa
peck a month, but it is safe to say
that the real estate that a hearty
eater masticates and swallows in
the course of a long and eventful
career would amount to something

After Governor Wells and Secre-

The police attempted to qucll

After the crowd had dispersed
