greatness ofthe Fourth ofJnly. Things,
went on iu their even way, and If any
emotions of patriotism swelled up in the
bosomsos men, they were hushed aud sti-

Alas! had il not been recalled to the

--on Monday last large milch
cow was offered by the Sheriff for sale.
Several gathered around the crier whose
faces beamed with desire to purchase
her. Among the number who were
greedy for milk, was colored man. He
commenced TO bid, but soon found them
coming in go fast that he feared his
ability to b,sy would soou. be overreached, !,
80 he resorted to little :same which he
thought would hush all the anxious bid
ders and give him the last chance.
Looking all around, as if to catch the
eyes of each one present, he said, "I've
kncwed dat cow fur des las FIVE or six
years, an'I jist be coufoand eff she can t

When the purchaser was called for. to

devil. But thanks to his attempt at de-

from where he bought her, he got
practical demonstration Of the truth of
what he asserted a minute or SO before.
The COW had rope tied to her horne,
the end of which lay on tile ground be-
side her hcols. The jublant purchaser
went behind her to pick up the end Of
the line, whereupon she let loose and
give him, W th both feet, one surging
kick right in the stomach that sent him
sprawlins. Here he learned that she
really would kick. The milch COW is
confined in stall, and the kicked mai
