The "eiIete monarchies" OF the Ole
World are now busy with tho autumn
manDuvres" Of their armies. These
mannuvres resemble in many Of theil
features the famous general training
day of our forcfathcrs. At the Russian
camp, however, some additions have
been made which undoubtedly would
have astonished even the traditional
militia officer.
AT this camp one day sham fight
was arranged. and preparations were
made by the ambulance corps to take
care of the wounded. Az the battle
was only to be feigned, it was necessary
IN the first place to select a number of
men to play the parts of the killed and
the dying, and to prevent mistakes and
confusion each one was furnished with n
ticket, setting forth the nature and the
severity Of his injuries
The troops then marched out, the
minnie combat, began and soon the ground
was thlckly covered with the victims of
wars fell rage. The ambulance men
advanced and began to pick mp the
sufferers. The wounds of each one, as
indicated by the ticket attached to the
body. were carefully examined, and the
proper remedies were promptly ,admin-
istered. One of the soldiers, however,
received instructions which justified him.
MS he thought, in giving up the CHEST.
Those who Were taking care of the
wounded were surprised Mt finding that
he gave no sign of life aud Immediately
called an officer for consultation. The
officer asked what allied him, but received
no reply. A physician was then called,
under whose direction water was thrown
IN the wounded mans face, but without
the desired result Finally, the signal
for the close of the exercises sounded.
the dead man jumped up as
well as ever. In reply to tho auos tions
which were put to him he said that he
had done nothing but what it seemed to
INN the severity of his wounds required
him to do.

HAPPY END OF A CouRrsHIp.-A few
days since Henry J. Holmes returned to
this city with his bride, whom he married
IN Prairie City, Polk County. Iowa.
Twenty-three years ago Holmes left the
place mentioned to make his fortune in
California, the two being at the time en-
gagged. The luck usual with most of the
forty miners was his, and after long and
unsuccessful lahor he settled down to lie
gitimate business, in which he managed to
slowly accumulate property. After n
time he returned to Iowa for his bride.
but her brother was afflicted with a long
and tedious illness and the faithful sister
would not leave him. The illness termi-
mated in death, a few months since, and
then the lady wrote her betrothed-the
two having corresponded regularly all this
time-that she was free and he might
come again. Holmes was now possessed of
a comfortable competence, and he was
still faithful. He promptly responded to
the summons, married the lady. and is
now settled in the enjoyment of domestic
happiness. They are practical couple,
and probably feel no older now than they
did twenty-three years ago.

FISH. The caplin migration is now
IN full force, according to letter from
Newfoundland. The caplins are the
bait used by fishermen. They come
from the deep ocean solitudes in masses
which nave the effect of currents in the
water. They fill every bar and creek
around the thousand miles of coast.
Along with them come vast numbers of
Goldfish, when the sea harvest begins In
earnest. All this has been going on year
after year for centuries, without making
any sensible impression on the shoals Of

IHE EMPLOYMENT OF "DRUMMERs. -
The Journal Of Commerce is inclined to
think that reaction is approaching in
the method of attracting custom. The
employment of drummers 1--WE are told)
is essentially demoralizlng, 1t almost
certainly debauches the agent sooner
or latter, and tends by the instrument.
alties used to the injury of the morals
and habits of customers. Even where
these evils can be avoided it is a most
expensive agency, and this will lead to
Its disuse, sine If employers are not sick
OF 1t, the buyers must see that they have
to support it, and must eventually de.
cline to lay in their stock subject to such
costly machine for distribution. It is a
great mistake to suppose that these local
and travelling solicitors of custom are at
all necessary to the transaction of a large
business. The first essential is brains,
then sufficient credit and capital to pre-
sent desirable stock. Judicious nd
vcrtising will announce this to every man
whose custom is worth having. Cour-
tesy and fair dealing will complete what
is thus auspiciously begun. Drumming
leads directly to dissipation and lieen-
tiousness but if it were morally unex.
ceptionable, it is too heavy a tax to be
laid upon the distribution OF goods.
Country merchants are growing as shy
OF these red faced borers as the farmers
are of the lightning rod agents or patent
pill pedlars. Have a stock worth selling,
announce the fact to the public in the
columns of newspaper, and when
customer is thus found make it for his
n terest and pleasure to come again.

BREED OF CATTLE There are few
diaries of thoroughbred or grade cattle.
The native cattle of the dairy region are
very fine, the nutritlve grasses there
have developed their milking qualities,
and forty -nine-fiftieths, ut least, of the
milk, butter, and cheese is produced by
common cattle. But there are consider
able numbers of blood cattle being in
troduced from Canada, and quite Il mum.
Der of our own people are breeding fine
cattle, though their herds are nearly all
small as yet, rarely over 30 breeding
cows and generally less. The favorite
cattle for the dairy are the Ayrshire,
though some in Vermont prefer the,
Short-horn, Directing to the small size
and short teats of the Ayrshire. [ think
this preference is owing to the fact that
some Canada breeders have been de
the milking qualities of the
and thus introduced "a diff
ferent strain of Short-horn from those
usually seen. The Holsteins of Mr..
Chenery, near Boston, are looked on as
an experiment as yet, though where they
have been tried they are much liked
They are unquestionably heavy mixers,
but 1t is not decided that they are not
costly feeders, and whether their milk is
good for buttermaking. Gerrit S.
Miller of Peterboro, N. Y, has few fine
Hol.teins, which I did not see. There
is, also, around Goshen cross of Dutch
banded (black hind and forequarters,

much liked. The Alderney Jersey are
only kept in few places where high
priced butter is made for rich city peo.
Pile. Though they have their advocates,
yet there can be no doubt that they have
been ruled out for dairy farming. l

ANOTHER MAMMOTH CAVE IN KEN
lucky.

From the Owen county News.l
A wonderful cave was discovered last
week within one-fourth Of mile of Gratz,
on the Kentucky river, in Owen county.
+. X. Riley, w. NJ. Russell, s. Lyons and
Thos. Wsinscott, reliable men Of this
county, report that they discovered the
opening Of cave in the river bottom.
They procured ropes and light, and sf-
ter defending forty feet perpendicular,
the cave opens into room 10 by 80 feet.
Passing through this some distance on q
horizontal plane in morrow passage,
they came to another room, 60 by 80 feet,
then the opening mario we'd tor a distance
when they came into another room, 20 by
40 feet. They examined this cave for
nearly quarter of mile, discovered an
other opening, but did not pursue it, and
have no doubt but there is a grand run OF
caves undor all that country about Gratz.
The cave starts in the river bottom and
runs under the Kentucky hills. The cell
ing Of the cave was so high they could
not see much of 1t with their dim light
they saw stalactites and stalagmaties, the
first formed like icicles on the rocks above
and the latter by the drippings of lime
water on the rocks below. Parties about
Crate expect to make thorough explora
tion of this wonderful cave, and 1t may
DO that 1t will DO as great a natural curl
osity as the Mammoth cave. We hav'
been in the Mammoth cave, and tae do
scrlption given of this Crate cave, as fal
as explored, is very similar.
