4 Scared Niger.

The Savannah AdvertiSer tells how a
Federal witness got away from the Ku-
Klux: "There were two men IN the
house besides himself, and to those he
expressed his intention of leaving; one
of them stopped to put on his shoes,
but he said, | no gwlne wait for shoes,
nor breeches gwine to lebe, and he
left. He ran to the edge of the woods,
where he concealed himself until the
men approached so near that he feared
detection. Just then bright idea
struck him. He remembered that his
shirt, the only garment he had on. was
white, and he thought to himself. l

Death OF n Notable Character.

There lately died in Paris chef de
claque, who had spent his lie in leading
the applause in systematic way at one
of the principal theaters of that city.
He left fortune of nearly 100000, the
earnings of his strange profession. He
had well.drilled corps OF assistants,
who always responded satisfactorily 10
his signals. Besides his regular salary
he received pensions from different
noted actresses and opera singers, in
whose behalf he had done good service.
He had his own words for different
measures of applause, and was very
judicious in varying the quantity. His
cheapest and lightest applause was
''acclamation;' next came hilarities,"
shoulders" double rounds" and Gin
finite explosions" The last was the
very climax of noisy praise.

Breton Cattle.

This breed of cattle is attracting the
attention of stock raisers in this coun.
try and in England, its small size, hardy
constitution, and good milk giving
qualities making it desirable for small
families. We find in the Rural Ne,o
Yorker full account of these animals,
from which we CLEAN the following
facts They were introduced into En-.
gland about ten years ago, but they
have not acquired any great popularity
as yet. This is ascribed to the necessity
of importing bulls and COWS together as
the latter are so small that it is t safe
to let them run with English bulls.
The animals are various in color, are
very hardy, thrive on hay and water,
and are so easily and cheaply kept, that
an English experimenterc calculates that
the keep of one Jersey costs as much as
that OF four Brittany COWS. They are
very gentle, and give from four to twelve
quarts Of rich milk per day. In size
they are mere pigmies, averaging from
50 to 40 inches in height, and some.
times being no more than 81 inches.
They are supposed to be the original
stock of the Alderney breed, which has
attained larger size through more
genial climate and more generous
diet than fell to the lot of the Brit.
tanies at home. There are several
herds of these cattle in this country and
we are informed that they thrive in our
cli,nata

Apples for Milch Cows.

The Hartford Couraat gives an account
of an experiment made this fall in feed.
ing apples to mich cows, by Erastus
Ellsworth, of East Windsor Hill, Conn.,,
II gentleman OF SO years of age.
large COW, something along in
years, feeding exclusively on summer
pasture, and produsing four wine quarts
daily, was used for the first experiment,
beginning about August lst, with four
quarts of apples night and morning.
The quantity was increased, until at
the end of a week she was eating a
bushel of the hardest, sourest wind.fall
apples each day. This cow was near
her time of going dry, but such was
the effect OF the apples as to bring
her produce of milk from four quarts
TO rather more than six quarts per
diem.
Another cow, in fresher milk, yield.
ing eight quarts daily, was then
put upon ration OF apples. At this
time Mr.. Ellsworth's cows had been
running several days in rowen feed,
which would naturally help to flush the
.nilk-pail. Yet upon the top of this
succulent pasture the second cow was
brought, when upon her full rations of
apples half bushel night and morn.
ing-to regular daily yield of twelve
to fourteen quarts of milk.
All of these cows, five in number
excepting one-would have eaten more
apples if they could have got them.
That one was younger and smaller
though good.sized heifer half "a
bushel was found to be as many and
sometimes more than she could manage
at one feeding.
The butter made from the milk was
first-rate, and there had not been no.
ticed the least symptoms of i'll effects of
the apples on the cows.

A Big Haul by Road Agents.

Following are the particulars given
by one of the victims and heavy loser
in the recent stage robbery near Pleas
ant Valley, Idaho:
Torrance c.. Brady, of Brooklyn, n.
Y, says when about two miles west of
Pleasant Valley Station, two men came
suddenly out of the willows by the
roadside, one carrying double. barreled
shot gun and the other two heavy re-
volvers. They ordered the driver to
halt, and inquired how many passen.
gers there were aboard. He had then
taken position behind the coach, and
the other in front, and ordered all hands
out of the coach Immediately, or they
would shoot. All were then ordered
into line, the treasure box was thrown
out, and while one searched for money
and valuables, the other kept a shot
gun leveled on the victims. ThoiI
pockets, etc, were all thoroughly
searched, and all money and valuables
appropriated. Many remarks were
made on both sides, but no violence
was used on any one.
The following are the names of the
passengers, their places of residence,
and their respective losses A. Logan,
Secretary Of United States Geological
Surveying party, $1,000; A. Burke,
United States Geological party, $50 ;
Torrance Brady, Brooklyn, n. Y,
S2,400; w. 7. Nolan, Radersburg, Mon
tana, $500; J. Birmingham, Helena,
Montana, S2S5; J. Feldberg, Helena,
Montana, $50; H. Bedford, England,
SO. The passengers had no arms, and
some of them lost all their private
papers. Mr.. Feldberg commenced TAX
ing out his watch slyly, when he was
ordered to "take his hand out of there"
and asked what the devil he was
doing" and that " he would get shot"
Feldberg said he was looking for a bot
tie of whisky to treat with, AID finally
succeeded in dropping his watch in the
bottom of the coach but they soon
made the driver furnish candle to
search the coach. They acted very
kindly generally, and first asked if there
were any ladies in the coach. On being
informed that there was one, they said
she might 90 unmolested. Mr.. Nolan
told them ne had sick mother in Chi
cago, and they gave him back his ticket
and ten dollars in money. The money
took was all gold com, and was, OF
course, duly appreciated by these gal
liant agents Of the highway, who are
still at large.

In SPEAKING of the treatment of the
horse disease, Mr.. Choate, of Boston,
who has large number OF horses, says
that in his opinion carbolic acid and
chloride of lime have had most benefi-
cial results in preventing the spread of
the distemper, and that if the former
was thoroughly used before any symp.
toms OF the malady appeared in stables,
none of it would be seen. The pre-.
scription which ne values most highly,
because of results noticed, is the fol-
lowing:
Sulphur, OF. potas'ae nitrate, 4 or;
pulverized ginger, or; pulverized dig.
nitalis, OF. The dose, a tablespoonful,
may be given with the food when the
horse will eat with water, or laid upon
the tongue when nourishment and food
are refused. The above given internally,
with an external application of Fergu
sons wonderful oil. to the throat and
glands, give almost immediate relief,
the cough subsidies. the catarrhal indica-
tons grew less, the fever ceases, and
appetite is resumed.

"EpizOOtic."

BY sANCHO.
Not a sound was heard on the silent street,
As home from the concert we hurried.
For We found not a street-car. carriage or bus
And We felt considerably worried.
We hailed driver we used to know,
AND huTriedly asked the reason:
He said, as he sadly shook his head.
That the horses were all sneezin'.
And so we silently went our way
70 the place where we kept our hlly;
We found her weeping at eyes and nose,
And shaking as tho 'twere chilly.
In vain we offered her tempting oats,
And bran mash" warm and smoking:
She turned her head from the fragrant bait,
And swallowed as if she was choking.
We shook down bed of fresh new hay.
With a bag OF corn for a bolster;
And we gszed at the saddle overhead.
VITA It's shining stirrups and holster.
We thought. as we looked in the glazing eye,
That her troubles would soon be over;
Never more would she crop the grass.
Or Craze on the crimson clover.
Slowly we turned from the stable door,
With hearts that were sadly beating
And when We We Mt in the early morn.
We found her quietly eating.

The Twins.

From beautiful lake in the mountain
Two rivulets came down,
With a rustic and futter like ribbons OF blue
BY delicate breezes blown.
Ger beds Of golden luster,
In the shadow of rock and tree, , .
They sang the same tune with their silver
tongues,
And cIapped their hands in glee.
Der rocks with MOSES mantled
They eddied and whirled like Waiting pail
Till hand in hand with laughter and leap
They mingled their misty hair.
Over the self-same lodges.
Singing the set-same tune.
They passed from April 10 breezy May
Toward the fields OF June.
They whirled and danced and dalied.
And through the meadows slid,
Till under the same thick grass and flowers
Their future course was hid.
/ saw two beautiful children
OF one fair mother born,
Like two young clouds of golden hue
That smile on the breast of Morn.
The same in age and beauty,
The same in voice and size
The same bright hair upon their heads,
The same blue in their eyes.
SINGING the same song as ever
In the Seli-sanle silvery tune,
They passed from April into May,
Toward the fields of June.
They whirled. and danced. and da!lied.
The beautiful wales amid
Till under the same thick leaves and flowers
Their future course was hid.

well understood that it should sustain the
Executive, rieht or wrong, on every occa-

enliyening its pages with guerilla items,
sensational reports and spicy squibs. So
far as its demise indicates its unpopularity
as Grant paper we must rejoice; and if it
suggests public antipathy to guerilla jour
nalism we shall not grieye. 1t has been
long in dying, and until We were finally as
sured of its departure, we suspected that
Grant might have galvanized it for the
