From the san Francisco Post.l
DOmeSfIcafed HuRalNeS.

Some experiments have been tried
in crossing the buffalOes with dOmes-
tic cattle, and the result is highly sat
isfaetOry; a breed of animals being
produced which retains many Of the
valuable properties of both breeds
The animals are large and strong; the
chief objection to them being that no
ordinary fence stops them for mo-
ment, and that they love the water so
much that they will swim and sport
in it, even when it is full of floating
ice. We have heard Ofa COW and calf
whose love for athletic exercises was
such that they would jump from o
bank ten feet high into deep water
when there was an easy path close at
hand. These personal peculiaritieS
are drawbacks to the Introduction Of
buffalo blood into the veins Of family
pets; but on the other hand, when
properly caSed for, these animals make
most delicious beef, aad their hides,
when soft tanned, are rs much supe-
riOr to the buffalo robe Of commerce.
as wool is to shOddy. The writer saw
the pelt of the COW mentioned above.
IL is much larger than any buffalo
robe which ne ever saw before, was
covered with u mat Of soft, short, cur
ly brown hair; there being nome tfLhe
long, shaggy hair ordinarily seen.

A Grammatical dialogue.

The following conversation between
u young lady who wrote Tor HiaS.t-
zines and an old gentleman wHh
thought he could speak English, "c-
curred somewhere IN Massachusetts,
and is quoted for the benefit Of grsl a.
marjans:
Old GeHtlemdH-"Are there any
houses building in your village ~
Young Lddy-"NO sir. There IS a
new house being built for Mr.. Smith
but it is the carpenters who are build
ing"
Gentleman -'Fr5ue; sit corrected
To be building is certainly a different
thing from TO be being built. And
how long has Mr.. Smiths house beea
being built >"
Lddy-(LOoks puzzled a m1meht
and then answers rather abruptly
''Nearly year"
GeHtleBlda-"HOw much longer ID
you think it will be being built ~
Lddly-(explOsively)-"DOn't know
GeHteHl0n--'I SHOULD think Mr.
Smith would be annoyed by its beini
so long being built, fOr the house h'
now occupies being old, he must leaV'
it and the new one being only Oeini
built, instead of being built, as he ex
peeted, he cannot"
Here the gentleman perceived tina
the lady had disappeared.
