Remarkable Sale of Cattle.

The most remarkable sale of cattle
on record was that which took place on
the farm of Senator Samuel Campbell
at New York mills, near Utica, n. Y,
last week, the cattle sold being among
the choicest and the prices realized the
largest ever known in this or any other
country. The herd consisted OF lO9
head. all Short-horns, but OF varying
ages, conditions and powers. Fifteen.
twelve cows and three bulls, were the
famous Duchess-tribe of what Is usually
termed the "Bates strain OF blood,
from the celebrated breeder OF their
progenitors in England, Thomas Bates,
who died over 90 years since. The pro-
genitors were three in number, put TWO
OF them left no female progeny, ana the
third. with her descendants, all owned
by Mr.. Campbell and included IN tne
sale, comprised all the pure DuchesS
cattle in the world. The sale, when
had been well advertised, attracted ine
attention of cattle fanciers from TINS
country and Europe, large number OF
whom were present, and the bidding
was very spirited. The highest price
realized was $40, 600, paid by Mr.. X. L:
Davis of England for a seven-year-old
Duchess COW. While she was being
sold a rather humorous event occurred.
As the bidding proceeded, she followed
the berdman quietly around the ring,
d;splavipp her fine points to the best
advantage, but as the auctloneer reached
the bid of $1,000 she suddenly stopped
in her walk, menacingly threw up her
head. as if amazed at being rated at so
astounding a sum, and began to back
ont of the ring with all her might. 1t
was some time before they could bring
her back. and it took three stout men to
do It. The bidding again began upon
her, and was finally run up to $40, GOO.
at which price she was struck off, when
the noble COW quietly followed her
herdsman back to the stall. The next
highest price was $50, ZOO, paid by Mr..
Berwick OF England, and the next $780,
600, by Lord Skimmersdale, who jumped
from $40, 900 to S25, 900 at one time, III his
anxiety to distance all other biddt rs and
possess himself of the prize. One ami
NAL sold for $1,000, two for S25, 900
each. one for $4,000. and several for
from SO, 900 to SO, 900 each. The total
amount obtained for the 100 cattle was
1891 ,5S5, averaging more than $1,000
for every head. The fifteen Duchess
cattle brought s262, $50, an average
price of ST., 523. 80 per animal. Amor G
the prominent bidders were Lord Skim
mersdale, well-known English noble
man, r. p. Davis of England, Ezra
Cornell of New, and A. w. Griswold Of
Morrisvil q, Vt, the latter buying 10
head for $751; The prices paid and
the men who paid them prove the ex-
cellence of the Duchess cattle, and to
what an extreme price stock may be
carried.

CAN 1T BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months a considerable number of per-
SONS have called upon DR.. Walker, the
proprietor of the popular medicine
known as Vinegar Bitters, and assured
him that, in their belief, his prepare
ton is an infallible antidote for rum
and tobacco. The minute details which
have been furnished him forbid him TO
doubt the accuracy of tie statements.
This new claim of a great remedy to
the confidence of the public will give a
vast and weli-deserved impulse to its
popularity. Heretofore the Bitters
have been recognized as pure vegeta-
BILE tonic and corrective, devoid of alco-
hol, and thoroughly adapted to the cure
of stomach and bowel complaints, ner-
vous disorders, bilious affections, mus
cular diseases, and, indeed, a majority
OF the ailments within the reach of
medicine but if it will also cure the
cravings for liquor and tobacco, philos-
ophers, statesmen and theOlogians
ought to unite their voices in its praise.
Can the good news be true !? 1t is easy
to test the questions

Alaskan Mythology

The natives of certain secluded Aleu-
tian isles retain tradition concerning
the origin of the latter which if al
ready published, is worthy of repetition
together with the embellishment natu-
rally accruing after the lapse of a year
or two. 1t is asserted that, in the pri-
mieval days, when the waters ofthe north
Pacific surrounded not sin, lie isle
among the vast ranges of the interior
continent, mighty giant lived. DWELL
ing in harmony with q giant bride, each
morning he assembled the mountains
from which the SUBMITS were plucked
for their daily food. Lakelets formed
their evening drink. At peace with all
the outside world, they reigned eryhilst
ages went their course. But finally q
change occurred and discord entered the
mountain home. Whilst absent on a
distant summit, the giant felt the noun
tain quake beneath his feet and, casting
upon his wife the fault of all the earth
quake uproar, fastened down with a
frown of vengeance in all his mien. The
giantess, perceivipg this and fearing for
herself, ran leaping into Bearing sea,
and toward the distant Asiatic shore.
He, collecting mountains, followed the
frightened spouse, hurting them after her
with all his strength. For E time, not
one of these did harm, and midway in
the sea the Stockton hand" grew small
so throwing one ont, now and then, he
fastened on. Approaching the KANT
chatka shores and summOning all his
remaining strength, he sent the last one
whlrling through the air and beneath it
sank the luckless wife. Exhausted by
exertion, despair and rage, the giant,
also, no longer held himself against the
waves, but sank into the sea, above
which, till this day, appear the summit
of all those sunken Alaskan mountains
known as the Aleutian isles. From
the gradually decreasing numbers of
the latter on approach to the Asiatic
coast, can We doubt the truth of a leg
endary tale that accounts 80 plausibly
for the singular melting away" or
comet-like extension of the Aleutian
chain9

How Smoking-tobacco is Prepared.

The tobacco as it comes from the
plantation is dried to the utmost, and
passed through a mill in which revolv.
ing cylinder armed with small projec-
tons CRATES it into tiny particles. 1t is
then by the same machine sifted
through a series of sleeves similar to
those of wheat fan, that which is left
on the upper and coarser sleeves being
passed and repassed through the mill
until sufficiently fine for use. For this
it is unnecessary to stem the leaves,
the refuse stems being themselves used
in the manufacture of the inferior
grades, and the sweepings of the STEM
ming-room are devoted to q like pur-
pose. These last are first carefully ex-
amined, to make sure that nothing is
left in them to break the mill, no nails
or stones to iniure the machinery. A
man on his hands and knees was picking
over pile of sweepings the day we visi-
ted the factory, seeming as intent on his
task as the searcher for pearls in the
oyster pits of CeylOn.
The inferior grades of Jugs, ETC., can
be used only for smoking. Indeed, no
leaf is worthless for the manufacture of
one or the other of the innumerable
brands somewhere between the golden
chat with which the millionaire fills his
costly meerschaum and the black mix
ture which Paddy smokes in his clay
pipe as he drives his dray-there is
place and use for it all.
SmOking-tobacco is generally put up
in bags holding from two ounces to one
pound each, pound being the limi
allowed by government for any single
package. The packing is done by means
of hollow iron cylinders, over which the
bags fit closely and are tightly drawn.
Into these the tobacco is poured, and
by working treadle wooden mallet is
forced into the cylinder, COMPRISING
the mass into the smallest possible COM
pass. This operation is repeated until
the bags are full, when the cylinders
are withdrawn, leaving the closely
packed tobacco in the bag.
The number of bags required for this
business may be imagined from the
fact that in the single factory visited by
Mbe writer their mandatory furnishes

Is been. which o large number are made
