FRENCH MERINo AND soUTHDowN CROSS.
A gentleman lately on visit to
F'reeport, Illinois, informs us thatupon
the farm of Mr.. G.. NJ Rosenstiel, Vice
President of the Illinois State Agricrll
tural Society, he found some very
handsome animals, the result of a eros s
of a French Merino on Southdown
ewes. The result of the cross seemed
to be IN improved carcass, as well in
points as IN size; occasionally there
was dark face, though generally they
were notified. The wool did not show
a very widely marked changed from the
Merino sire. We understand that Mr.
Rosenstlel-whose opinions, by the way
IN all matters pertaining to practical
sheep husbandry, we esteem equal to
those of any man in the country
thinks favorably Of the cross, and pro-
poses to. experiment further in the same
direction. IN. H. Farmer.
CoRN-CoB MEAL.
An Indiana farmer, writing to the
Germantown Telegraph, says: About
twelve years ago nearly all the farmers
in this part of the State bought I" corn
and cob crushers," and expected to fat
ten their stock on the chops which the
machine made. The crusher performed
its part well enough, but the trouble was
that the ignorant COWS would not eat
the meal, and finally could not be coaxed
into the stable if there, was sign of
the meal there, while the hogs left their
pens and took refuge in the woods |!
We finally concluded that cob-meal was
only valuable as substitute for saw
dust. I have heard a great many
"book farmers" argue n favor of grind
ing up the cobs with the corn, but after
trying it they invariably gave up the
idea that there was food in the cobs
IF any one has desire to try the expert
ment. let him grind the cobs alone, and
see if he can induce any of his stock to
eat it, That Will convince him that
cobs as food are entirely worthless.

Terrible Predicament of a BOy--Saved
by Courage and Presence of Mind.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Saturday afternoon a boy, about II
years of age, while crawling along the
leads of a house on Third street, near
Bryant, for the purpose of clearing the
instructions in the water pipe, slipped
and rolled over the edge of the roof.
In his desperate efforts to save himself
he succeeded in grasping the raised
edging of wood and tin that bordered
the roof, and so hung, suspended by
his hands, forty feet above the street,
utterly unable to regain his footing.
The accident was witnessed by woman
on the opposite sidewalk; and her
screams brought at once to her side
three men who saw, with horror and
amazement, the predicament of the
poor boy, who, without cry or strug-
gle, was hanging over certain DEATH
with only the frail grip of his weak
hands. They ran across the street into
the house and up stairs toward the at
tic, when, as they reached the second
story, sudden thought struck the last
man, and he let his companion go up
without him.
Underneath where the boy was hang
ing is small, old-fashioned porch,
which projects out about three feet
from under the centre window of the
second story, and out of this window
the woman on the opposite side of the
street; and those with her, saw man
step on the porch, and look up. AS he
stood he was Immediately under the
boy, but too close to the house for his
apparent purpose, the boy hanging
just over the railing; he stepped over
the latter, and with his feet resting on
the edge of the platform of the porch,
and one hand grasping an iron support,
he waited. In the mean time. the other
two men had reached the roof and were
descending, when they discovered the
impossibility of reaching the boy in
safety, and one of them called for a
rope.
Before any one could move to the aid
of the exhausted boy, he with shrill
cry let go his hold and fell. AS he ap-
preached the man on the porch the lat
ter was seen to reach out his free arm
under him, and then the boy was
grasped by him. A cry of horror went
up from the crowd as the man was seen
to stagger and swing around the end of
the porch with his load; but his hand
held its grip on the iron and mo-
ment afterward he carried the boy
through the window and turned him
over to his mother, who had only just
realized that something was wrong.
The name of the man whose presence
Of mind enabled him to save a life, and
whose courage made him forget the risk
of his own, is Cambeu Williams.

An ImnrAYei Kind OF Omnibus.

An improved construction of omni-
buses is noticed in the London papers.
According to this arrangement the load
IN the omnibus is below the center of
gravity and instead of the passengers
being inside the vehicle, as at present.
they are all outside of it. There is no
close box into which twelve human. be-
ings are. stuffed to inhale each others
inpirations and exhalations, and no
crushing up or crowding in for seat.
All inconvenience are avoided by
placing the passengers back to back,
instead of face to face. There is only
one hindwheel instead of two; and this
one wheel, placed in the center of the
vehicle, does the work of the two now
used. A light and elegant roof covers
the two rows of seats, and reaches down
in front far enough to shelter the pas
sengers from rain or sun, but not far
enough to obstruct their view of
the opposite side of the street
IN which they are going. There are
aprons, also, which draw up from the
footboard as a protection in wet wealth
er. The vehicle is, therefore, much
lower than the present omnibus. A
passenger steps in and out at one eff
fort, from the street, into his or her own
separate place or division. The huge
wheel at the back is quite concealed,
and reyclyes in a close case or sheath.
some twelve inches in width. The
seats, being on two sides and the end,
admits of being well padded at the
back and cushioned, rendering them
perfectly comfortable. 1t is claimed
that there is an important economy in
this method of construction, as there
are no doors, no glazing, no painting of
sides, no internal paneling, and only
three wheels; the weight of the vehicle
will not be more than two-thirds that
of the present one ----. T.

The Reward OF Kindness

The ST. Louis Democrat makes a.
statement that, some time ago, the cars
ran over a COW in Union county, Indi-
ana, throwing the train from the track.
and injuring about twenty persons. A
Mr.. Patterson, living near where the
accident occurred, took some of the
persons, injured into his own house,
among them man, wife and child.
1t turns out that they had Just buried
a child at Indianapolis from smallpox.
Instead of destroying the chlld's cloth
ing, they brought it along, and it was
used for bandages among those injured
by the railroad accident. The result
has been most appalling. Sixteen per
sons have died SO far, among them Mr..
Patterson's own wife.

Washington WasHer-W0men.

The negro washer-women Of Wash
ington rival Ah-Sin in feats of decep-
ton. In the first place, they charge
exorbitant prices for washing, and, if
the customers don not like the bill, they
agree to take the garments for their
fee. Again, these washer-womenswill
persuade the unsuspicious customer
that il requires from six to ten days to
properly wash and iron his clothes.
The work is usually accomplished on
the first or second day, and then the
lady OF the washtub hired out to others
such garments as they may select for a
days or nights wearing. This system
OF hiring is said to be carried on very
extensively, and shrewd washer

The Hidden JOY.

BY LOUISA UsH NE LII.
Through Ieafy hy-paths, sheltered and apart, g
ssyhistljng the carol of a careless heart
In IDLE gIadness strolled a truant boy
{ Up in a tree-top swayed little bird,
And sang and sang, nor cared if any heard
His solitary roundelay of joy.
2 A brook flowed through the silence of a wood +:
Some gorgeous flowers upon its margin stood
And waved their scarlet banners of delight.
= From evenings dusly blue shone out STAR
Aud through the darkness trailed its splendor far
Though all the world was buried in the night.
Joy asks no seeing eye, nor listening ear;
But carols, blooms, and shines when none is near,
Only because it feels so fully blest.
The mated bird flies not ON open wing,
But sings from out the bough,-and so L sing
The happy secret hidden in my breast.
-Scribner's.

Will be intensified, the anguish temporarily
concealed, break forth again with redoubled

after repeated trials, fail to satisfy the condi
tons upon which only can they be useful to
humanity. Such medicines have l,rief popu-
arlty, and are retired as unworthy of public
approval There are others which time tries

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of COnsump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy it is adequate on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. Itchallenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. AS a safeguard TO children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest Of childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is Invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
