A Great Establishment.
From N. Y. Correspondence Evening wisce,

From N. 7. Correspondence Evening Wisconsin.
Speaking of Helmbold, reminds me
that New York has an establishment to
which his place on Broadway is as a
mole-hill to a mountain--I mean the
drug store of Caswell, Hazard & Co.,
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel building.
This firm do larger business than any
other retail druggists in the world, and
their store is one of the wondres of the
city. The store proper is 30xl00 feet,
and is fitted up with solid marble floors,
counters, &c; and its appointments were
of the most costly and elegant descrip
ton. Below this is perfect labyrinth
of laboratories extending far under the
street, where they manufacture the
chemicals, tinctures, extracts, &c, used
10y them in compromising prescriptions,
and their numerous preparations Of
worldwide reputation. Among these
preparations are their Ferro-phosphat
ed Elixir of Calisaya Bark, pure Cod
Liver Oil, Juniper Tar Soap, mineral
waters of various descriptions, etc.
From their wealth and enormous busi
ness, they are enabled TO secure
the best articles from the best
European sources, and nothing
of an inferior quality ever enters their
establishment. the roses OF Turkey,
the lilies of Africa, the violets OF Eng
land, the gorgeous flowers OF tropical
zones, all pay their tribute OF richest
odors to give aroma to the powders or
the essences here prepared They
manufacture fourteen different varieties
Of cologne, all of delectable odors-
their Number Six being unsurpassed
for strength OF aroma and durability OF
action. They pay particular attention
to the compromising of descriptions OF
medicines, and have system of check
ing prescriptions, which makes mistakes
impossible. Each ingredient is check
ed, and no prescription is allowed togo
out until it has been examined by two
experts. The cases Of cabinets OF this
great establishment are crowded with
the rarest chemicals and purest drugs,
that can be collected, while articles OF
rcrtu, the mineral waters Of Kissinger
and Vichy, with everything entering in
any way with pharmacy, are included
in the unrivalled assortment which con-
stantly attracts the wealth and beauty
Of the metropolis.
This establishment was one Of the
first of the kind commenced in America,
having been founded in 1850. 1t is
now the most extensive house on the
continent, havinglbusiness connections
with every state in the Union. It en-
ploys constantly between forty and
fifty frst-class chemists and other oper-
atives. The firm has two other stores
in the city, and its business is steadily
gaining, SO that its income may at
no distant day double even the enor
nous sum now shown upon its books.
Those of your readers who may come
East, and may wish te see the pharms-
ceutical wonder of New York, should
by all means visit this establishment, to
which they will be most cordially well
omed by the gentlemanly Mr.. Hazard.

Profit Of Goats.

Robert W. Scott, of Franklin county,
KY, writes to the Observer and Re-
porter (Lexington) long letter in re-
gard to goat raising i'll the State. In
It's course he says: Il have a flock of
nearly two hundred head of Cashmere
or Angora goats, produced by crossing
the pure bred Angora bucks with the ma
tive or common females now deep enough
in the blood to produce wool long
enough to be shorn and manufactured.
This flock has cost me almost nothing
the sales which have been made and the
meat and skins of the males and weth-
els from the flock from time to time in
the course of it's production having re-
Enumerated all expenses. l have re-
Gently received the account of sale OF
my goats wool at So cents per pound.
To produce this wool cost me no more
per pound than to produce the wool of
my improved Kentucky" sheep, and
yet 81 cents per pound was the best
offer I could get for my sleeps wool in
Kentucky. Both the goats wool and
the sleeps wool were shorn and
handled alike, and one produced So
cents an8 the other 81 cents per pound.

Wintering stock in the Northwest.

At the last meeting of the Grand
Chute, Outagamie Co., Wis, Farmers
Club, an informal discussion was had
on wintering stock, from which we ex-
tract as as follows:
Mr.. Huntley-When threshing l get
all the straw in my barn l have room
for; lay it in alternate layers with good
hay. l find my stock eat 1T well and
close. / am satisfied oat straw is of
more value for feeding than marsh hay.
Mr.. Bogan---Oat straw is very good
for change. am satisfied if We have
straw in alternate layers with hay when
the hay is hauled into barn or stack,
our hay would cure and keep better;
the straw absorbing from the hay be-
comes nearly of as much value as hay
for feeding. Most Of the hay is ex-
posed to the sun too long in curing at
one time I cut about five tons which
was only exposed to the sun two hours
never had better hay than that was.
Mr.. P. V. Smith believe a large
proportion of hay is yearly spoiled by
over drying in the sun; the nutritious
portion wasted, little or nothing lef
but woody fiber; no stock can thrive on
such food.
Sec'y May--I believe more hay is
damaged by too long exposure to the
sun, than by rain. l am well satisfied
we do not grow roots enough.

As for the Princess Louise, herpraises

Hmlnarv oyertureS came. The mystery
is easily explained by the fact that the
Queen and the Duchess Of Argyle have
been bosom friends from their youth.
Her Grace is lady of very fascinating
gifts, great personal attractions, and
winning manners. She is, moreover, a
strict moralist, and is endowed with
religious temperament and a devotional
mind of the very kind to attract the
admiration of her Majesty. Appointed
at q very early period of her life Mis-
tress af the Robes, the Duchess had
the best opportunities of improving her
friendship for her royal mistress, and
in the course of time she became to the
latter her closest companion and con-
tidant. When the Queen and Prince
Albert made what might be called their
wedding tour in Scotland, they jour
neyed at much Inconvenience into the
very heart of the western highlands, to
visit tho Duke and Duchess of Argyle
at their historical palace of lnverary.
At that time the Marquis of Lorn was
chubby little plump faced fellow of
two years old, bright eyed and intelli-
gent, and with head crowned with the
peculiar golden hair which gives such
distinctive character to the features
of his keen-faced father. The lad was
dressed in kilt, and as he stood at the
gate of the castle, among the Dukes
clansmen, the Queen drew Prince Al
bert's attention to him, patted him on
the head, called him dear little fel
low, and showered upon him her car
cesses during the whole period of he
sojourn. Since that period Lord Lorn
has been constant visitor at Windsor,
Osborne, and Balmoral, his mother, as
| have smd, being very constant IN her
attendance upon her Majesty, especial
" since her seclusion from society con
segment upon the death of the Prince
Consort Thrown much together, young
Lorn and Louise grew up to like each
other, which, being perceived by the
mothers, led to the alliance being talk
ed about. The whole thing was settled
between the Queen and the Duchess
long before anything was said upon the
subject
LORD LORN.
Though by no means so intelligent as
his father, Lord Lorn Is young man
of quick parts and good abilities. He
sits in the House of Commons for Ar
gyleshire, and when he does speak he
does SO pertinently and with fair
measure of success. His training has
been excellent, and his travels wide.
Physically he might have been pleasant
looking but for an accident from crick
- L 4
somewhat marred his appearance. AL
together, in looks, appearance, manner,
and abilities, he is very far behind his
father; and yet he has sufficient ofeach
to do credit to the order to which he
belongs.

The Murder of the Students---Their Of
fence--Brutality of the Volunteers.

NEW YoRK, Dec. Havana letters of the
2Sth give details OF the troubles there and of
the execution of the eight students, showing
that the only dissertation 10 The grave Of Cas-
tanon consisted of breaking the glass cases
covering niche of the tomb and substituting
wreathcs of garlic instead of immortelles AT
the Court Martial the Chaplain stated it was
only a Students frolic and did not deserve Sc
we're sentences but the clamors of the voun-
teers overruled everything else, and eight were
condemned TO death. Eleven were sentenced
to six years in the chain gang, nineteen TO four
years in the same gang, four TO six months
Imprisonment and two were liberated. The
sentences were Immediately executed, those
murdered not being allowed an hours respite
to see their friends. The volunteers raided
through the streets all day, killing eight Gu
bans. Business was entirely suspended, and
quiet only restored after the executions. The
students were all quite young, mere boys, but
met their deaths bravely in the presence of an
immense throng. Their parents offered large
sums of money TO save them, the father of one
offering one million dollars, but all were vain
Captain General Vamaseda was absent at
the time, but fully sanctioned the murders on
his return. The authorities appear impotent
in the presence Of the volunteers.

Swears He Wont Swing.

The most remarkable character we ever re-
corded is n negro murderer in Nash county
named Luke Johnson. LIKE was first taken
up for larceny some months ago, and negro
witness living in II little log cabin in The woods
had testified against him before the Grand
Jury. lie tracked this witness TO his house
one night, and poking his gun, loaded with
old nails throuelra crack he shot him dead
lie was Immediately arrested aud lodged in
the Jail in Nash county He only stayed there
one day--got out that night was re-nrresled
and carried to the Warren county Jail there
to be kept more secure. This is n strong Jail.
and is fenced around by a strong rock wall,
and there are fifty fierce bulldogs kept in the
Jail yard
Luke was confined in n close cell, and al last
the authorities thought they had him safe.
But they were mistaken. lie took rock out
of the floor that weighed five hundred pounds
with his own hands. and crawcd under and
got to the door of the Jail, but here he stopped

there in the door and waited for the jliler 10

along after awhile and slapped Luke in again.
But the authorities were afraid TO trust him
much longer, so they took him back to Nash
county, and he had his trial lie was SEN

This time they handcuffed him securely in
the jail with cuffs made TO order, and also put
on anklecnffs. locking them up securely, and
then they had n chain that run from his hand

locked through big iron bolt and ring in the
floor. He was allowed n sitting posture in n
common spli-bUttom chair, and with his
hands reached down, chained and buckled,
and took the round out of the chair, and run
ming it III the ring, twisted it out, breaking the
link in about twenty pieces. There was n
wire in some way connected with this ring,
and with this he picked the locks on his cuffs
and got his hands and feet free. Then with
piece of the iron link he forced the locks on
the three doors locked on him, and also the
wooden one at the entrance Of the Jail and in
this way he made his third escape, letting out
with him another negro prisoner. He thus
made his escape from the gallows six days be-
