A Curious History.

A Frenchman with history
died the other day in San Fran.
cisco. His name was Grandillet,
and his age was sixty.fye. At
the age of twelve he embarked as
a ship, boy upon a brig, and there.
IN made several voyages. in the
China seas. Heipext took, service
as chief, cook in Dutch three-
'masted schooneneAs and sailed on
two. or threoi voyages to the coast
of Africa. This vessel, be it stat
ed, was SLAYER, and on 'onegocca.
SION, when pursued by a cruiser,
1T was run ashore by its crew, who
escaped into the interior. Tn this
extremity Grandillet was captur-
ed by the soldiers of a petty
African King, who ordered him
to be baked and served mp for the
,reyat snpper. But, fortunately,
Grandlllet, obtained, clemency by
annointing himself. as a cook, and
promising the King a touch of
European isacookery9lsif his life
should be spared. His offer was
accepted, and a native prisoner
was ahaldedpoeer to him, who was
: furnished forth :" ala Mayengo.
Thus saved by his culinary skill.
.Grandillet became the Vatel Of
tile African chief. to whom he
taught the secret of how TO pickle
meats. The King became SO ad.
d'cted to picked dishes that he
constantly called tor them as his
meals. In order to satisfy his ap-
petite in this direction, he even
undertook a war, and ordered all
the prisoners captured by his SOL
dlers to be picked. But one day
Grandillet succeeded in escaping.
and, picked up by a passing vessel,
was landed at San Francisco
which ne afterwards made his
home. Among his papers was

q The Cost of Poor Stock.

Probably, few farmers a.hink,
says the American Agriculturist,
of what it costs to keep a poor
COW or a land-spike, hog. They
readily understand that a good
COW, or hog that will dress 200
lbs. at ten months old, is profita.
bic stock to keep,sbut the fact that
this grain is really the amount of
loss on the poor stock is rarely
considered. II a cow yields 200
lbs. of butter in a year which
brings $50, and another rs lbs
which brings $225o, the loss on
the poor cow is. Just $3.50. The
fact is, it would be a more profita-
BILE operation to give her away
than to- keep her, for size does not
pay for her feed. . The dairy bust
ness Of this country is not ,on q
satisfactory footingrby any means,
and solely on account of the mul.
titude cf poor cows, which are
kept year after year This is a
matter which should be looked
after BY the County Agricultural
Societies. Every one of these as.
sociations should introduce i'm
proved stock, by means of thor.
,ougl,bred male animals, into their
Localities. 1t is a good work to
elevate the ideas of farmers, and
to foster q taste for Improvements,
but to the great majority of their
clients the possession of such
stock, or the use of it, is quite nn.
attainable on account of want of
necessary means. By making
this q aspecialbranch of their oper.
atoms. the usefulness of these So
cieties would be much Increased.
and their importance greatlys1en.

Y. Farmers Club, uttered the following sensi.
Bile words:-"I am prepared to say that if you
put thousand young men on farms, and
then put thousand others in merchandise,
the result will be that eight hundred Of the
farmers will grow to competence and to great
er wealth than any eight hundred Of those in
merchandise, for there will be but one hun

live flesh and blood of men is war. And Of
all next to war, is the carnage Of health, ex-
pectations and character, long life, in the

A TERRIBLE PENMAN.-We do not vouch
for the truth of the following, which we clip
from an exchange: ..#
There is banker in Philadelphia by the
side of whose handwriting even the penman.
ship of Horace Greeley seems symmetrical
and beautiful. Well, this banker was perse-
cuted by life insurance agent, who wanted
him to take out policy. The victim stood
it for awhile, but finally, one day, he kicked
the agent out of the Office. Then the tormen-
tor began to send notes to the unhappy wretch,
explaining the endowment system, and asking
if any one of his aunts ever suffered from tor
pidty ofthe liver. At last the banker wrote
to the heartless fiend as follows:
"You diabolical scoundrel, if you send an
other line to me I will come around to your
Office and blow out what little brains you
have!
When the life insurance man received this
he turned it up and down, and held it side.
WAYS and stood before mirror with it, and
examined it with microscope and called in
six or seven experts, but after all he couldn't
determine with any degree of certainty what
it meant. To ascertain, he presented it at the
paving teller's desk in the bank, and that
worthy, without moments hesitation, paid
$4,000 on it. believing it to be a check for
that amount. There is one agent less in this
city than there was week or two ago, and
one more banker who betrays symptoms Of in
sanity when the subject Of life insurance is
mentioned in his presence.

COLONEL FISK AND UNCLE DANIEL.

It is now in order to recount anecdotes of
the early life Of the late james Fisk, Jun,.,
and the Table Talker, ever ready to contrib
ute to the literature of the country, proceeds
to relate the following reminesence. of the
Princes sunny hours of boyhood:
When Fisk was about ten years OF age, ne
kept small market stall at Bennington, Ver-
mont. One day, the eminent steamboat man,
Daniel Drew, came to the market with his
basket on his arm. He asked young Fisk if
his eggs we're fresh. "You bet," replied the
ingenious boy, "pop pulled them of the vines
this morning" "Give me dozen, sonny, re-
piled Mr.. Drew. The next stall was kept by
little Eliphalet Buckram. "1s this pumpkin
good, my SON." asked the venerable stock
broker. ut is good enough Morgan, an
swered the truthful child; "but, sir, If you
will examine that portion concealed from too
scrutinizing view, by contact with the boards
forming the counter Of the stall, you will see
that there is bad spot in it. "Does not that
seem unbusiness-like, my child, to cry down
your own waresT asked the kind.hearted
millionaire "My sainted mother told me |
must never tell lie with my little hatchet,"
responded little Eliphalet Buckram. The
rich man was moved to tears; he took out
his purse and gave Eliphalet Buckram pat
on the head and said he was good boy.
When he had gone, Eliphalet Buckram said
to little James, 20 James, what made you tell
such 6b? You know those eggs were laid
three weeks ago. You will see that have
gained customer and you have lost one.'
Well, when Eliphalet went home, his STEP
mother came to the door and said, "Here you
are, you lazy little sneak, and you haven't
sold that punkin yet! I'll punkin you'll!
And she took him in her step-motherly arms
and famed him with an ox.goad until he said
he would prefer taking his meals off the man-
tel piece for the next few consecutive days to
sitting down with the rest Of the family.
And the next day Daniel Drew came into
the market ga rearin and tearin'," as the
old inhabitants say,) and said: "Where is
the boy that sold me them eggs, eh? And
Jim Fisk pointed to Eliphalet and said:
"There he is, sir" and Daniel Drew relnforc-
ed that boys step-mother's ox-goad with his
cane so efectually that-but never mind.
So Daniel Drew bought all his garden sass Of
Jim Fisk In after life, Eliphalet Buckram
set up grocery store and gave trust to all the
poor people, and never sanded his sugar, and
wouldn't quality his rum with water; 80 he
burst up, and the sheriff sold him out, and he
went to the poor.house. But Daniel Drew
kept his eye on Jim Fisk, and by-and.by he
gave him partnership in the Erie firm, and
Jim beat him out of 100000. This is not
story for good little boys. We fear it is too
near the truth.-Chieaqo Post.

Will Ora mt Remove Casey

The New York San has an editorial
closing in this manner:
The investigation at New Orleans estab-
lished one tact which demands the special
attention of General Grant and his Secre-
tary of the Treasury. 1t was proved before
the congressional committee that Collector
Casey. the brother-in law of the President,
during the recent fight of the factions, de-
tailed the revenue cutter Wilderness to
take on board sufficient number of State
Senators to prevent quorum in that body,
and steam with them for ten days up and
down the Mississippi. thus keeping them
out of the reach of the Sergeaut-at-Arms,
and thereby SO demoralizing the Legisla-
ture as to afford a colorado pretext for pro-
ella lining martial law in Louisiana, whose
Governor and principal State officers were
believed to be hostile to Grants renomiDa-
ton.
General Grant is not responsible for the
conduct OF Governor Warmoth and the
authorities OF Louisiana. They do not hold
their places by his appointment. But Casey
was commissioned by Grant, and he can
remove him at any moment and therefore
he is responsible for his abuse OF power.
The use Of the cutter Wilderness. by the
orders Of Casey. under the circumstances
and for the objects mentioned, was, we ven
ture to say, the most tiagrant prostitution
OF an OluclaI tfusU ever ptFpeldteu Dy
collector OF the custOms-an attempt to
break up State government, and subject
it to the tender mercies of the sword. simply
to serve tile purposes of a corrupt faction,
and minister to the selfish ambition of a
president who has determined to retain his
office by fair means Or foul.
How long, think you, would a collector of
the customs who had been guilty of the of
Tense which Casey VIGOROUSLY has COM
mtted have been allowed to retain his
place while Thomas Corwin, or James
Guthrie, or Salmon z. Chase was Secretary
of the Treasury Had Fillmore or Pierce,
or Lincoln refused to remove such col
lector, how soon would those honorable
men have thrown down the seals OF office
and walked out Of the Cabinet!
Can any reason be given why Grant does
not remove Casey, except that he is his
brother-in-law, and his convenient tool for
procuring delegation to Philadelphia from
Louisiana in favor OF his denomination? And
can George S. Boutwell, afford to be party
to such conspiracy
