A Brave Canine Defender.

A. few days ago dog belonging to
John Felter, of Pine Hill, New York,
was heard barking in the mountains some
distance from the house. Mr.. Felter's
little son, twelve years old, knowing by
the bark of the dog that some important
game was on foot, set out for the noun
tains. His mother felt a little anxious
after the boy had gone, and for some
time listened to the barking of the dog.
After half an hour the barking ceased !;
and as hour after hour passed away and
the boy did not make his appearance,
the mother set out to 60 to one of the
neighbors to,secure their help in search
for the boy. On the road she met her
husband returning from the village, where
lie had that morning been attending to
some business. He listened to his wife s
story, and, trying to calm her fears, went
back with her to- the house, and taking
his gun started toward the place iadiea-
ted by his wife. MIR. Felter trsEeNed

in the afternoon, seeing nothing, hearing
nothing, and was about to return home
when he almost stumbled over the dead
carcass of a wildcat. 1t was large

The Mare for the Farmer,

Every farmer who breeds horses for
his own use or the market, should at the
outset possess himself of highly formed,
powerful built, well-bred mare, standing
at least fifteen hands two inches high,
and weighing no less than 1000 pounds
in an ordinary condition. This mare he
should breed to thorough bred horse,
of pure pedigree, good form, great
strength and depth of body, standing on
short, powerful and sound limbs. He
should at least be Is hands high, and
not less than 1900 lbs. From the union
of these. we may expect a fine animal.
The mare must be at least reasonably
we'll bred, and ought to be larger if any
thing than the horse. Never breed to a
small or delicate thorough bred. If you
SOW weeds you cannot expect to reap
wheat. 1t may be asked why the same
result could not be obtained by the breed
ing ofyour fine mare to one of the many
breeds of draft horses. It might suffice
to say that experience rests on reason.
The, thorough bred and draft horses are
of the same genus, but they are entirely
of different origin. In form and physical
constitution, they are widely different.
The thorough bred is the highest and
most perfect type of the horse; while the
draft horse is the very lowest. In physical
composition and form, they differ as wide
ly as the Caucasian from the Ethiopian.
If you breed q superior race with an in
ferior, the product will not be similar to
either. twill degrade the superior and
elevate the grade Of the inferior. Hence
it is called mongrel or grade. If you
breed an inferior race with lower grade
than the superior, the product will be
inferior to both, because the tendency of
all animals is revert to the origin that
most strongly predominates in it. There
fore if you breed your quarter or eighth
bred mare to course Norman Percheron,
Nydesdale, Punch or Lincolnshire stall
lion, the product must be the inferior of
both, because you are not elevating the
standard, but degrading it.

Cotton. eed and It's Products.

Cotton seed oil (says the Shtpping
Lstl has become so very important. q
staple incur review Of the market, that
any report on oils which notices no sales
of cotton seed is an exception to the rule.
But little seed is bought or sold in this
market, that which comes here beng
chiefly contracted for on the plantation
OF at the port of shipment. 1t is only
within the last two or three years that
the trade in these has assumed anything
like its present proportions. AT first no
one knew to what purpose the oil was
nut, but it has come gradually to be un-
derstood that it mixes we'll with other
more costly oils, and for mary purposes
it is declared to be quite good. 1t is Also
used largely in England formaking soap.
We remember the time it began to assume
some importance we reported a large
sale of oil to 90 west, supposed for mix
ing with.la oil, which quite stirred up
one of our subscribers in Cincinnati, and
who wrote to us for more partlulars
pressing his doubts of the truth of our,
report, Not long since it was discover
ed that some ofour we'll known brands,
of imported olive oil, such as PlagnioL,
Bacigalupi and Possel fills, had been
counterfeited and cotton seed was sup
posed to be at the bottom Of it, and we
have heard consumer say that he likes
the one as well'as the other as a table
condiment.- Most of the seed is crushed
in the South, though we do dot know
what proportion of the oil produced is
consumed there. Some of stearine made
in the process of pressing, etc., is as
sweet and yellow as butter, and we have
been told that it mixes we'll with that
necessity of the table. There is also pro-
duced what is known as ''cotton seed
soap stock, - very inferior looking ar
ticle bringing but i to 1&c per lb. The
cake made in pressing, is shipped to Eng
land, and there brings about 81 per ton.
The seed is also shipped there in large
quantities and crushed at Hull and else
where, the cake bringing much less than
the American make, being undercortica-
ted. The weight of the seed produced
in the South is estimated at 2,OO0,0 900
tons, being about double that of the cot
ton from which it is gained; but it is
supposed that after deducting the guam
tity necessary for planting, waste, &C.,
there will remain about ], 100000 tons,
valued at $12,000,OOO, The value of
the hulls for fertilizing purposes, is esti-
mated at $40 per ton, and it is also es-
timated that the seed crop, all utilized,
might be made to yield total value of
over $40,000,00O over and above the
quantity reserved for seeding.

The LORD, THE LADY AND THE TELE-
GRAM-The London Court Circular
relates the following anecdote respecting
noble lady, who is young, beautiful and
good:
During the Army bill debate her hus-
band, who is as proud and fond of her as
he should be, was just about to rise and
deliver violent attack upon something
or somebody, when telegram was put
into his hands. He read it, turned pale
and quilted the House, called cab, and
drove to Charring Cross station and went
to Dover, and was no more heard of un-
til the next day, when he returned to his
home, and to his firstinquiry was told
that the Countess was in her own room.
He hastened to her, and a terrible row
ensued, the exact words of which no one
knows but themselves. Atlast, however,
he burst out, "Then what did you mean
by your telegram" ''Mean? what l
said of course. What are you talking
about?" "Read it for yourself" return
ed the still unappeased husband. She
did read: II flee with Mr.. - oDover
straight. Pray for me" For moment
she was startled, but then burst into q
hearty fit of laughter. "Most dreadful
telegraph people. No wonder you are
out Of your mind. photographed simply,

Stay for me-" His Lorship was so saw
age at the laugh he raised against him
self that he was inclined to make Par
liamentary question of it, but, listening
to more judicious advice, restrained.
AS an evidence of the scarcity Of
work among laborers in New York a fact
is noticeable that Broadway merchant
who advertised for porter was forced
to close his store and call the police to
dispense the crowds of applicants who
assembled the next morning.

male. Everything indicated a terrible
conflict. The spectacle gave Mr.. Felter
an apprehension that some terrible thing
had happened to his boy: Exananhg
the leaves and anderbrush he had no
difficulty in finding q trail Of blood, and
this he followed nearly d hundred yards.
Then he came Upon the dog standing
over the body of his son, who was, pros.
trate on the, ground. The dog was earn.
estly looking at the boy, and occasionally
licking his face and hands. On Mr.. Eel,
ter's approach, he gave loud bark, and
pranced about with joy. The father
knelt by the side of his son and placed
his hand over his heart With joy un-
speakable, he found the little fellow alive,
but terribly wounded, as it; appeared, by
the claws of the wildcat. The little fels-
lows clothes were almost torn to- shreds,'
and his flesh was terribly lacerated from
head to foot. He was suffering from loss
of blood, but his wounds had been hand
somely dressed by the faithful dog, which
had for hours been standing by him lick
ing them. Taking his boy in his arms,
the father made his way to his home,
followed by the ever-faithful dog. After
reaching the house, restoratives being
administered, the boy was able to tell
his story. He came upon the. wildcat,
and seeing that his catship held the dog
at bay, having an advantageous position,
he attempted to dislodg dge him, first, with
stones but these the beast Gid not seem
to mind. Then he got a pole and at
tempted to poke him out. At this the
wildcat became enraged, and springing
upon the boy, scratched and tore his
flesh as above related. At this the dog
dashed at the cat and soon dispatched
it. The boy attempted to 60 home, but
sank to the ground exhausted. The little
fellow is doing we'll. The good nursing
of the dog has done much toward allay-
ing the inflammation the licking of his
wounds by the faithful animal has un-
doubtedly saved the boys life.

SENsfBLE-Rev DR. Bellows of New York,
who was President of the Sanitary Commis-
sion during the war, recently delivered an ad-
dress in that city in which he took strong
grounds against mixing up religions matters
with the politics of the country. He opposes
any such movement as the recognition of the
Almighty in the Constitution and that the Lord
Jesus Christ is the ruler among nations, and
warns the people against the perllous conse-
quences which will result from it. He also
opposes the use of the Bible in the public
schools in the following language:
"When the proposition tn exclude the Bible
from the public schools was first brought for
ward opposed il, but | have since come to
reverse my opinion Duty to the unsectarian
character of our institutions demands that the
Bible should be taken out OF the public schools.
This man Bellows preached enough politics
during the civil war to last him lifetime.
He could not see the evil of mixing religion
and politics in those days, but time and rehec-
ton appears to have brought him to realizing
sense Of the error of his ways. Henry Ward
Beecher agrees with the Rev. Bellows as to
the injustice of using the Bible in public schools,
but it is a moral impossblity for the unctious
Henry Ward to refrain from political topics

ago. One thing that Expresses the people at
the South who own lands, 10 the high taxes on
the land, imposed by a Legislature made up of
free negroes and carpet-baggers, who have no

crowning achievement of radicalsm.
Judge Wyche was one of the Justices of the
