exhibited at Yreka. lie was sired in the
southwestern corner Of Ore gon, in 1868

being covered with u thick mass of kinky
hair like u negroes head. He is a fine

something like sheep, and also a beard

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says
"A quadroon mule was foaled in the
stable of B. w. Alexander, in the summer
of 1869. The stable being full of loose
mules, it was killed by them in the efforts
of It's mother to protect it. | think the late
Nr. Skinner mentions one or tive In his
writings, none of which, however, lived to
maturity. The writer saw this one, having
mules in the stable at the time"

The SlOWest Railroad Ever Heard or

John writes to the New York Sun
from Syracuse as follows:
A railroad runs from Oswego to Syr-
acuse. 1t is thirtysix miles long |
rode on it, and those cars moved so
slow that if you want the draft in your
face, you have to ride backward to get
it. They never have hot journals on
that road; the great danger is. the
stuffing and gravy around the axles will
freeze. The screech Of the locomotives
is very faint, kind O. like the MARBLE of
a four-year old boy blowing through a
knot hole in a boa-d fence 1t is ca
pable of giving grasshopper thrill
of alarm, but won't scare a COW worth a
leather cuss. The conductor, en-
gineer and fireman Always walk ahead
of the train to look for broken rails,
and the COWS always run on ahead of
them to keep out of the dust. | tried
an experiment. Two trains were pass
ing. and | stuck match out of the
window and let the head of it rub
against passenger car. Ii went so
slow that [ coulden't strike hight. If
you ever take trip from Oswego to
Syracuse over that road you want to
take lots of clothes, a whole ham and a
barrel of corned beef along with you.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Liquid Food for Sick Horses.


In many instances the throat of horse
is so inhamed from some cause that it is ex-
credingly difficult for him to swallow food
even in liquid state. At such times there
is another grave difficulty with horses that
have never been accustomed to liquid food,
or to water shat has flour mingled with it..
In cases where the animal IS possessed of
an unusual fastidious taste, let the eyes be
blindfolded so that the brute cannot see
the liquid that is offered. Then allow him
to taste of water az the pail is held up to
his nose, and have another pail containing
hay tea, which should be of the same tenn
perature us the water. A horse can often
be deceived by this stratagem, and thus be
induced to drink gallon or more of the
liquid.
In many instances a horse can be in-
duced TO swallow thick Cruel when he
will not drink hay tea or ted of linseed
meal. Wheat -four can sometimes be min
gled with W tier so that he will swallow
all that may be desirable for him to take
Tea made Of linseed meal, or oil neal, or
even cotton seed meal, may be EMPLOYED
to make an excellent liquid for horse
that cannot swallow food. Let quart of
the meal be put into a tin pail, with about
two gallons or more of hot water, and let
it he stirred rapidly as the meal is put in.
Then allow the mess to stand for half an
hour in the pail, covered closely. Dilute
with cold water, and hold the pail up to
the ANIMALS nose. If a horse ever refuses
to drink the liquid, let his eyes be blind
folded. 1T horses have been accustomed
T. eat linseed meal they Will usually drink
such liquid with avidity.
When horse is suffering from distem-
per or sore throat from any cause, so that
the organs Of deglutition are SO much in
famed as to incapIcitate the beast from
swallowing solid food, the strength may be
maintained entirely by preparing liquid
food. For change, hay tea may be pre-
pared quite strong and given in lieu of
water. When Il horse refuses cert in
kind ofliquid food, let another be prerar-
ed. Beets, carrots, or other roots may be
reduced to u pulp In extreme cases for an
Imals thai cannot masticate and swallow
rough feed. Let the roots be boiled,
worked through a colander, some wheat
-four or cat meal be ming led with the mass,
and water added to render it of proper
conslstence for the animal to drink A
lutte fresh grass may also be cut fine with
sheep-shears aud mingled with the drink.
A horse that has never tasted liquid food,
by Judlclous management may be indicted
to drink all the nourishment he may re-

Breed But One Kind CT Poultry.

The national Live Stock Journal says
We believe there is not any course of read
ing or experience which man Is likely to
have, which will not take years of time to
enable him to Judge even TWO or three
breeds critically and without he is able
10 do that, he Will not achieve very mark
ed success as a breeder, unles he should,
by ACCIDENT fall into the right course.
Although The safest and most satisfac-
tory way for a beginner is to commence
with one variety, ard confne his attention
exclusively to that, when he has
proven bis ability to draw them up TO the
highest attainabie standa ard, he can add
another variety to his stock. For a novice
to start out with two or three distinct
breeds Is To court failure, for the attention
which would have insured him success
with one breed alone will only suffice to
raise TWO or three TO mediocrity. The
history OF successful breeders of fowls. as
with those who have achieved success in
the breeding of all varieties of domestic
animals, shows that is was only achieved
by concentrating their entire care and
attention upon one subject, and Iaboring
energetieally and presistently for the at
tamment OF 1t

Even when strength and appetite fall when the eyes

Bitters. Electricity, shower ba.hs the flesh brush,
bathing &C., may be well enough in their way
as auxiaries, but they do not reach the source of
the evil. All physical debility pro eeeds either from
arrangement of the functions of the asslmilatlng

both causes exist the Bitters will invariably produce

ParSou Rro1yDlOw

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, who lately called on Senator
"Parson" Brownlow, says he found
him at his home, in Knoxville, lying
PROSTATE on lounge, while at his feet
sat his daughter, the mnistering angel
of the households patient, pale-faced
girl of about twenty years. The Par
son was in his shirt sleeves, propped
up by pillow, his hands and arms
shaking violently, as if urged by some
invisible electric battery. The volume
of his once powerful voice was reduced
to the merest whisper, so low that his
visitor had to stoop to his pillow to
hear him; but over his stubborn soul
no palsy or tremor had come, and
through his eyes flashed at intervals
CLEANS of the same old fire that made
his foes tremble in the days gone by.

Through Life.

We slight the gift that every season bears,
And let them fall unheeded from our GRASP
In our great eagerness to reach and clasp
The promised treasure of our coming years;
Or else we mourn some great good passed
away,
And, in the shadow of our grief shut in,
Refuse the lesser good We yet might win,
The offered peace and gladness of to-day.
So through the chambers of our life we pass,
And leave them one by one, and never stay,
Not knowing how much pleasantness there
was
In each until the closing of the door
Has sounded through the house and died
away,
In our hearts We sigh, Forevermore."

Keeping Cider.

A good method for keeping cider is, first,
to just bring it to the boiling point in a
bright lrass kettle or clean tin boiler, skim
and barrel tightly. When wanted, draw
off one to ten gollons, according to the
number using it, and let the air have ac-
cess To it for a day or two. 1t will then
be in fine condition for use After new
cider has settled so as to be perfectly clear,
draw off and pour into new barrels through
the bungs. Add two quarts of pure alco-
mol to the barrel and cork sight. In all
cases put In the faucets before filing the
barrels, so that there need be on shaking
or moving of the cider after it Is once
stored.

4 Singular Marriage with Sad Ending.

A curious story is told by the Paris
Steele, illustrating the evil cOnse-
quences of arbitrary notions of mar
riage held by the followers of religious
sects in opposition to the simple view
of the matter taken by the State. An
Algerian correspondent says that the
indigenous Jews who have now become
French citizens, are not all clear on
this point. They look into their re
ligion for their law, and to this fact
must be attributed the following pain
full story. The ancient customs of the
Jewish people make the reception by a
young woman of gift from a young
man rendered with the words, Il conse-
crate thee to myself with this, valid
marriage. A young and INDECENT Jew,
being IN want of rich wife fixed upon
a rich young Jewess as a fit per
son on whom to try strata
gem suggested by this custom
He introduced himself to his
victim as a jewel'er in the town, and
succeeded in milking her choose a
bracelet. While paying him, she per
ceived that the money she had put
down was insufficient, and said so to
the pre- ended Jeweller, who instantly
handed her coin, at the same time
pronouncing the sacramental words
which made her his wife The girl IN
stantly threw down the piece, but the
rascal had. in the estimation of the
bigoted rabbits, acquired sufficient
right over her to induce them to sum-
mon her before the synagogue that the
affair might be investigated although
it was obvious that, both parties being
French subjects, no such claim could
stand The rabbls decided that the
conditions making the gift marriage
had not been fulfilled, but the poor
girl fell III from agitation and anxiety,
and died in a few DAYS.
