Burke took Mr.. Froude in hand the

his first lecture. The brilliant Irish
Dominican priest defended his ma.

learning; on the other side there is
magnificent oratory. Mr.. Froude

A War Story.

A correspondent of the Toledo Blade
tells the following good story OF how a
German picket repelled a rebel attack !:
The best drilled company and one Of
the most efficient in the regiment was
composed almost entirely of Germans.
Very few Of the men got sick. and the
company was the largest in the regi-
ment. The men had way of their own
of doing nearly everything, and though
other companies excelled them in a
skirmish, the "Doitch com-pa-nee" was
always firm in battle and untiring in a
march. This disposition gained for the
company the title of Cavalry" and
whenever hummer shouted "Order
out the cavalry, he meant for the per.
severing Germans TO take the field.
Just before the march on Sewell Noun
tain commenced, the cavalry" were
ordered out to participate in that cam
paign, while the other companies re-
NAMED at Gauley. One day the COM
pany on picket duty near Hawks Nest
were attacked by a scouting party of
rebels. The lookout was posted on a
precipitous rock. Here were four men,
who considering their position safe from
all attack were munchlng crackers and
watching closely the road at some dis
lance. All this time the rebels were
creeping up the steep ascent, and with
out any warning three men in gray
stood before the astonished Germans.
A stalwart Prussian dropped his gun,
and graphing with the first rebel threw
him to the ground and rolled him down
the almost precipitous side. This UNI
militarylike maneuver puzzled the re-
mainder of the assaulting party, who,
standing two to four, turned and scram-
bled down after their tumbling COM
panion. Curious az it may seem, none
of the Germans fired, but peeripg down
after the retreating rebels, shook their
fists and dared them to try it again.
The transaction puzzled the next post,
the men having seen the rebels on the
rock, and having seen them disappear
without gun being fired, an inquiry
was at once instituted. When asked
why he did not shoot his man, the Prus-
sian replied, "Vats the use | no want
a fight up dere und make big noise,
so | zhoost tip him over leetle, so quiet
as would schmoke a pipe. He roll
down beautiful, and feel worse may be
than eef he was bin schot."

New Style In Suicides.

most extraordinary attempt to
commit suicide is reported from Sher-
borne, in England. A man employed
as a fencer at Sherborne Castle was
found 10y woman in her kitchen sit
ting by the fire, with blood issuing from
his mouth, blood being upon the floor,
and his neckerchief on fire. She asked
him what he had done, and he replied
that he had tried to blow his brains
out. Assistance was Immediately oh.
tanned, when the nozzle of pair of bel.
lows was found lying by his side. The
old man said he had only half done it ;
his head was too thick to blow off. 1t
seemed the would-be suicide had been
carrying iusees and rock powder about
him, and had drilled hole in the noz.
zle of "a bellows, converting it into a
kind of small cannon, and inserting
the end of it into his mouth He had
been addicted to drink, and had be-
fore threatened TO make mole in the
water"

A Diamond Romance.

A foreign correspondent writes: "At
Old Calabar | met an Englishman in
November last, who was actually suffer
ing from the want of the necessaries of
life This Englishman was formerly a
wealthy dealer in the sugar trade of
Liverpool, and failed in 1864. Since
that time circumstances went steadily
against him, until the African Diamond
up, oar aroused his ambition. After
some difficulty he procured loan from
an old friend, so that he might pay his
way out here. Months and months
passed, and the unfortunate Mr.. Sand
ford, formerly merchant of Liverpool,
became disheartened. He lived upon
the charity Of those who spoke his lam
guage. On the fifth morning of last
December, Mr.. Sandford renewed work
on little lot which he had frequently
abandoned. On that morning he dis
covered ten stones, averaging ten carats
each, which made their aggregate value
$1,000, or $1,000 gold. His fortune
did not abandon him at 81 900. On the
following day he was offered $4,000 for
his little lot or claim, as the English
call it. He refused, and that night
came seeing Sandford the master of
100000, or 100000 in gold. He still
continued to work, but for several days
his toll was fruitless, and he began to
suspect that his little estate had gone
dry Still luck haunted him, for on
December l6, he raised SIC, 900 worth of
garnets and diamonds, on the Goth he
discovered $4,000 worth of the finest
stones ever seen in that quarter, and on
Christmas Eve he had the greatest luck
of all. Fifteen large and splendid
diamonds found on that day brought
him $4,000. This was his last hit.
Then the yellow clay began to appear
in his lot, and yellow clay is a sure sign
that the diamonds are all exhausted.
Sanford returned to England with
$4,000, or about 1915, 900 in gold. "

The Oceanus Disaster.

st. LOUIS, April l9.-Capt. Thomas w.
Rea, who left last Monday for the scene
OF the late explosion of the Oceanus, TO
recover if possible the bodies of those
lost by the disaster, returned to-day,
and reports that he and Mr.. Fisher, car
penter of the steamer, and four men
dragged the river from the point where
the Oceanus exploded to the point
where she sunk, three miles below, but
found no bodies. They also explored
both the Missouri and Illinois banks Of
the river as far down as Cairo, but the
only thing found was the body of one of
the lion cubs belonging TO the MENACE
RE on board the steamer. The river
has risen seven feet since the explosion,
but Capt. Rea left Capt. Connolly in
charge of the men, and the search will
be continued. This is the ninth day
since the disaster, and it is believed the
bodies will begin to rise, and, as the
water is quite still, owing to back water
from the Ohio river, all that do rise can
be easily secured.

A BeIligerent MOther.in.Law.

The managing mamma" who throws
her marriageable daughters at the head
or heart Of every marriageable man, is
a well-known feature of society novels
and of social lite. In brilliant contrast
with her conduct is that of Mrs. Fon-
tame, of Los Angeles, California. Her
fifteen-year old daughter was beloved
by a gentleman named Wells, and, de-
spairing of the maternal blessing, they
resolved TO elepe. Mrs. F. discovered
the plot, armed herself with a pistol
with which she had lately shot the
stealer of her COWS, and, when Wells
appeared, threatened to deal the same
fate to the stealer of her daughter.
There was no elopement. A few months
afterward, however, they managed to
escape together, fled into Lower Califor.
MIA, and were married. Returning to
fall upon the maternal bosom and be
forgiven, they learned, as they neared
Los An geles, that the maternal bosom
was racked by hate instead of love, and
that Mrs. +. was seeking them armed
with the self-same pistol. The unhappy
pair fled TO Kern river and actually
swan to an island therein, in the vain
hope of escaping the wrath to come.
The mother soon appeared from the
main land, pistol in hand, and declared
a strict blockade. For three days she
starved the fugitives, and then, when
her revenge was stated, permitted them
TO come to the shore, forgave their sins,
and took them to her home.

Farm and Garden.

Savinq Fodder.-A large quantity of
valuable fodder may be secured 10y saw
ing the leaves Of turnips, beets or man
gels by burying them in the ground.
They should be packed tightly and GOV
cred closely so that the air is excluded.
In this manner they will keep until
spring. In the same way the pulp of
beets from sugar factory has been kept
good for heightened period.
Cheese as Eod.-Good cheese is very
nutritious, even more so than eggs
Cheese varies won derfully in its COM
position but when properly made, it
contains about one-third water, one
third albuminous material, one-fourth
fat, and about five per cent mineral
matter. One-half pound of good cheese
contains as much heterogeneous matter as
pound of the best meat, and one-third
of a pound as much fat as a pound OF
average meat. Old cheese, however,
though not unwholesome, cannot be
/ eaten in large enough quantities to be
useful as food. Very new cheese, on
the other hand, is less easy of digestion.
Cheese is difficult to keep in warm eli
mates, and easily decays in all places,
unless properly cared for. Mouldy and
decayed cheese is unwholesome, and
can always be told by the taste. Amer
lean cheese is not so good as English or
Swiss still, the best American cheese
is very good. The English working
classes use bread and cheese very large
ly as an article of diet. The Americans
use it as a relish and luxury, but rarely
as an article of nourishment. We be-
lieve Americans use too much meat.
Those who wish for substitute will find
it in good eggs and cheese. With these
foods they need rarely or never use
meat at all.-Herald Of Health.
No Profit in Milking TOO Long.-It is
generally thought best, so far as my
knowledge extends, to let dairy cows
90 dry three, or at least two months.
My own experience would give three
months as about the best average length
of time COWS should 90 dry before drop
ping their calves in spring; and this |
find best, without regard to the general
health of the animal or the amount of
milk TO be produced the following or
after seasons. Cows that are MIXED
too long either get thin in flesh, and
give but little milk, and that little of
poor quality, or else require a large
amount of nutritious food to keep up
good supply of milk and the animal in
good flesh. Ny rule is to feed literally
as long as | do milk, and when COW
gives less than about two quarts of good
wholesome milk, dry her off and lessen
the feed. A dry cow needs but about
two-thirds the amount of fodder re-
quired by a cow of the same size which
gives milk, so that there is no present
profit in milking too long, unless dairy
products are very high, to say nothing
of the damage by impairing the future
usefulness of the cow. q. w. r.

An Intelligent Dog.

Turf, Field and Farm says: We have
contended more than once that dogs
are possessed of high order OF intelli-
gence, and that some of them act as if
reason was the basis of action. But the
following anecdote of a little Whitley
brown terrier called Joe, told by cor
respondent Of Land and Water, is hard
to believe. If true, it proves that the
terrier had wonderful ear for Ian
guage:
"A lady who resided in Joe's mistress
house took great notice of the dog, used
TO have him up in the drawingroom,
pet him and take him out to walk with
her, so the little creature became very
much attached to her. Mrs. B., as |
shall call her, left TO visit friends in
England and Joe went down with his
mistress TO see her of by the packet.
His distress on her entering the boat at
the end of the pier, which wac taking
her to meet the steamer, was so great
that he jumped into the water, an ele-
ment he detested, to swim after her, but
was brought back and taken home. The
poor little animal grieved to such a de-
gree that his mistress feared he would
die. He refused to eat, and used to sit
in the drawing.room looking at the va
cant sofa. AT last there came a letter
to tell of Mrs. BIS intended return,
Joe's mistress read it aloud to her nus.
band, also the following postscript
Bring Joe TO meet me on the pier on
Tuesday Joe jumped up, frisked
about, and began at once to eat his
breakfast, before unnoticed. All that
and the following day he conducted
himself in the usual manner, and when
Tuesday arrived Joe was in waiting foi
his mistress at the street door. He trot
ted off of his own accord, and when she
came down dressed in walking costume
toward the pier, became, on seeing the
steamer approach, nearly mad with joy
his delight being if possible still NOR,
evident when Mrs. b. landed"

Mr.. Barnum's Giraffe.

The giraffe in Mr.. Barnum's MENACE
RE shows wonderful affection for its
keeper. 1t Will allow no other to
handle it, and it grows nervous and un-
easy whenever the young man is away
from its side. The keeper even has to
sleep in the cage with the giraffe. 1t is
handsome cage, and in one end OF it
the young man has his bunk. When
the giraffe is lying down, its head nestles
close to the face of its keeper, and thus
the two slumber lovingly side by side.
The young man has had charge of the
animal only since it landed in this coun.
try, some six weeks ago. 1t is a male,
three years old; and as the female,
which started with it, was lost in the
voyage across the Atlantic, the affection
once reserved for the dead mate seems
10 have been transferred TO the man
who first received and caressed it on the
vessels arrival at New York. The
giraffe must naturally be of an aiiec.
tionate disposition or it would scarcely
have become so fond OF human being
in so short time after leaving its ma
tive wllds.
