A FINE THEME FOR RIDICULE.

| It is very we'll known that the President does
not possess what is valgarly called 1.-THE gift of
| the gab.'' He cannot make an extemporary
His life has shown that he face a hostile force,
when bullets and cannon balls are flying
about like hail, with perfect GOODNESS aud
Iself-possession but al array of upturned faces,
though ever SO friendly, puts him out of himself:
he hesitaes, siammers and, finally, retires as
dumb san oyster. There Is many a shaliow-p
ted, enpty-heacted fellow, who has never done a
solitary thing to redeem his lie from perfect con-
tempt, who will talk on his feet by the hour, on
almost any subject and yet this silens, quiet sol
der of oars, who has performed achievements that
will live by the side of the most renowned in his
tory, is comparatively tongueless.
1t is great convenience and sometimes pleas
ure TO others well as 70 ourselves, to beable to
improvise neat facile, able, OF even voluble dis
course but it is no demerit not to be able to DO it,
much less qualification or disgrace. Some Of
the most intellectual and cultivated men that the
world has ever known has shared the inability
with less gifted mortals. Our most ph;losophical
and learned President, Jefferson, whose wri tings
are regarded as models, changed the messages OF
diccourses, because of his aversion to the former
while our most active and energetic President
Jackson, was almost as incapable of making
speech as President Grant is. The most copious
and graceful among our old authors, Washington
Irving, could scarcely deliver an ordinary dinner
toast with composure. Hawthorne, whom high
critical authority pronounCes the best authority
pronounces the best writer of English that ever
lived, would run away rather than face the COM
monest audience and one of our most illustrious
poets makes it the condition Of his attending
public dinner that he shall not be called upon to
say a word Artists, ike literary men, are sup
posed to have some degree of NOUS but who that
has been invited to one of their symposia cannot
recall some pitiable sight, when even the best
among them has been got upon his legs.
Eloquence is charming, and the faculty of easy
and g-aceful utte"ance 10 be desired by all men,
just as every woman ought to wish to sing with
exquisite Skill; but it is no more discredtabe to
a man not to be Demosthenes or an Everett than
it is for awoman not to be a Nilsson or a Lucca
What shall we say, then, of the taste Of those
newspaper gentlemen who think it immense fun to
ridicule General Grants want of oratorica ability
How keen must be their sense of humor, how
delicate their perception of the nature of a joke

pasture, az it is certain to cause securing
and other ailments; good timothy and
blue grass IS the best, but il should not
be very long. AS soon as pasture begins
to fail, or at least as soon as the FIRST frosts
have touched the grass, a little extra feed
Of some sort should be given. Oats and
bran mixed together make nice feed to
begin with, and a little salt added to it
will give them more Of relish for it;
rye also makesa first rate feed for them,
but 1T Is not quite so well relished, corn
makes an excellent winter feed, but care
should be taken at first not to feed too
much at time. Il is best to put a few
old tame sheep with the lambs to lea
them how to come when called.
The ewes should be put on the dryest
pasture on the farm for a few days to
assist in drying up the milk, and it may
be found necessary to milk some Of them
a time or two.
Should cold gains prevail during the
early fall months, lambs should be put
under shelter and have some hay given
them in the racks; and as the season ad-
vances they should be kept in of nights.
By doing this, by the time winter SETS in,
they will be so taught to eat that the
change from pasture to dry feed will not
be peIceptible.
It will not require person to keep
sheep many years until he will find out
that the main thing in wintering them is
to keep them up in the fall, for if per-
mitted to lose flesh they will not recruit
up again duriag the entire winter, more
is this the case with lambs

EXPERIMENTING THE BUFFALO.

The Denver Tribune says Stew persons
probably know how rapidly the American BIZ

at one time it is said that they were to be

and the Hudson River, but for many wears
they have been extinct east of the Mississippi
river. The work Of extinction, however. ap-

they are driven into narrower and narrower

the European bison, which once abounded in
the woody wilderness of Germany, northern
Gaul, and neighboring parts of the CONT
nent, but which is now to be found alone
and rarely in the forests of Lithuania. will
soon be theirs. Some idea Of the e.. tent of
this ruthless slaughter may be formed from
the fact that twenty-five thousand bisons
were killed during the month of Nav. south
of the Kansas and Pacific Railroad, for the
sake Of their hides alone, which are sold at
the paltry price 1.-TWO dollars each, on de-
livery for shipment to the eastern marke IS.
Add to this five Thousands small estimate

supply meat to the people on. the frontier,
and we have sum total of fifty thousand as
the victims for single month. If the bison
were wild, savage animal if to kill one re-

this enormous slaughter. But the fact is that

AMERICAN FARMERS,

CURE FOR RHEUMATGsM.-We find the following
cure for this painful disease in one Of our e,-
changes The efficacy of the application would ba
greatly increased by dipping a partially folded
towel in the very hot liquid and placing it over
the seat Of the pain and putting two or three
thiCknesses of flannel over this. When thew oro
removed the following morning, the effected mart
should be bathed with cold water. "Boil o small
potini OF potatoes, and bathe the part affected
with the water in which the potatoes wero boiled

going to bed. The pain will be removed or NJ

the most obstinate rheumatic pains have lately
been cured BY one application of this novel ana

BLOWING FOR THE SETTLEMENT

The following story illustrates the wis
dom in their generation of the children
or this world:
Il organized the first Suuday-school in
this county, and ran it myself" said a
a shrewd and dispated Wisconsin lawyer.
"a few Of US Americans came here early.
We wanted to get in decent, industrious
settlers, and keep rowdies out. So I
said: "A Sunday school will draw the
folks we want. 1t will be the best and
cheapest way to blow for the settlement.
They all agreed to it. There wasn't a
soul of US that pretended to have grain
Of piety. So they pitched upon me to
carry out the plan. did it, sending to
Mr.. Rice, of the American Sunday-School
Union, for library, and ran the school
all summer. 1t did the blowing for us
spleudidly. Several Christian families
came IN, and as they had better stock Of
piety. l handed the Sunday-school over
to them. 1t was a grand thing for US.
We secured a good moral settlement. In
fact, sir, 1t got to be so piou3 that I
couldn't live there myself" -Elrchange.

ACUP OF COFFEE.
From Scribner's Monthly

From Scribner's Monthly
1t has been truthfully said that even in these en-
lightened days, and in the lands most blessed by
the influence OF civilization, there are thousands
of persons born into the world who live long lives
and then go down into their graves without ever
having tasted good cup of coffee. There are
many reasons for this, and the principal one, of
course, must be that so few persons know how to
make good coffee. And yet there have been
thousands of receipts and directions published
which teach US how to make good coffee by boil
hight by not boiling it by confiping the es
sence and aroma by making it in open vessel 4:
by sleeping it by not sleeping it by clearing it;
by not clearing it; by grinding it Gne by grind
ing it coarse, and by many other methods oppose /
10 each other and to all these Now we do not in
tend 20 try TO tell anybody how to make good
coffee, but we just wish 10 say a VIC. about the
treatment of the coffee afer it is made And on
this treatment depends lis excellence, brew it as
you may. The rule is simple: neUer decart IL .
Whatever else you do about it, bring it TO the
table in the weasel in which it was made

say. But when hot coffee is emptied from one
vessel into another, the kitchen ceiling generally
receives that essenceladen vapor which should
have found its way into the cups on the break
fast table And one word about these cups.
When the co~ee enters them, it hould fnd the

these rules, ordinary Coffee made in almost an y
