An Extensive Dairy.

Stephen P. Sharpless, the editor of the
Boston journal 0f Chemistry, thus writes for
his journal of the dairy of the Darlington
Brothers, in Delaware county, about eight
miles from West Chester, Pa:
" The farm, which consists of about three
hundred and fifty acres is situated in Della
ware county, at Darlington station, on the
West Chester and Philadelphia railroad. The
homestead, for the farm actually consists of
two, was decided from William Penn to the
ancestors of the present owners, and has never
been out Of the family. The dairy numbers
from eigty to one hundred cows, mostly of ma
tive stock, selected with care for their butter
producing qualities. There are two large
spring houses, one of which, built this sum
mer, Is situated over never failing spring of
water, which delivers about eight gallons of
cool water per minute. The spring house is
thirtytwo by forty feet, one and half
stories high, and built of stone while the milk
room is twenty-fOur by twenty Eight feet. The
milk is set to rise in large pans, the largest
holding over five hundred and twenty quarts.
The churning is done twice week, with an
average yield of six hundred and fifty pornd$.
This amount is needed to supply their regular
customers living in New York and Philadel-
phia. The price for the last year has varied
from sixty five cents to one dollar, according
to the GeaSOn. The buttermilk and skim milk
are fed to hogs, of which sixty or seventy are
kept. When the Messrs. Darlington took
charge of the farm about ten years ago they
produced only one hundred and forty pound,
a week, but under their energetic management
the yield has increased to the present large
amount. Everything about their premises il
kept with the utmost neatness, and great at
tention is paid to regular milking and ali tn,
small details of the business The butter il
shipped directly from the dairy to their Gus
toners. The region in which this farm is situa
ted is one of the most beautiful in the casters
United States. The land is very productiv,
and well watered. A considerable portion o
it is rather rough for cultivation, and this ha
been allowed to remain in timber, which i
very luxuriant. As it is only an hours rid
from the city it has become quite favorit
summer resort, hundreds of city families spend
ing one or more months among the farm
houses. 1t is the Oldest settled part of tn
State and one in which the Quaker element
still predominant. And this shows itself i
everything, from the dairies up. Very few 0
the people are wealthy, but still fewer knov
actual want"

DAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER "a 1878

At the appointed time the wedding came off
In the best style of the city, and the company
enjoyed the occasion with the greatest zest.
The hours flew like humming birds. AS the
clock struck twelve the Professor picked up
his hat and started for his boarding house.
His principal attendant surmising his inten-
ton, followed to the front door and Informed
him that matrimonial etiquette required him
to stay and board at the house of his father
in-law until he and his wife wished to live by
themselves.
Finally, the happy couple went to house
Keeping and never were man and wife more
heartily congratulated or more highly esteemed
than they were. They were the favorites in
the city. Never was wife more lovely or hus-
band more kindly devoted, but he did MT know
anything about providing for the larder, only
as Sarah fought him. One little incident may
suffice to Illustrate. She told him one day to
get some rice. He went Immediately to the
store and told the clerk he wanted to get some
rice.
8 How much inquired the clerk.
" Oh, not much, j." said the Professor; " |
reckon three or four bushels will do for the
present.
The clerk was very sorry to say they had
not so much on hand, but they would soon
have more. The clerk persuaded him to try to
make out for few days with some fifteen OF
twenty pounds
Sarah and the clerk were not the only ones
who laughed over the incident. He never cal
led for three or four bushels afterward

A Wife's Strategem.

The Memphis Appeal gives the following
account OF the escape of j. +. White from the
jail in that city by the adroit management of
his wife: On the afternoon of the 7th inst
Mrs. White proceeded to the Jail, and asked
permission to see her husband This request
being granted, She was allowed to converse
with HIM IN the reception room, where she re-
NAMED some time cOnversing upon affairs of a
domestic nature. None of the Jail officials
supected that the devoted wife and imprisoned
husband We're arranging plan by which to
secure the latter escape. UnObserved Mrs.
w hlte, SO 1t Is said, gave her husband pistol,
which she had concealed in her clothing and
carried there for the purpose of accomplishing
his escape. While conversing upon family
matters they found time to devise the scheme
which resulted in the liberty of the prisoner.
Upon leaving the Jail White was allowed to go
with his wife as far as the entrance steps
which are located few steps from the iron
railing OF the yard. This railing has a large
massive iron gate. just as Mr. Murray un
locked the gate, Mrs White said to him,
Please tell me what time it is?" Mr.. Muir
ray, being a courteous gentleman, could not
refuse to lmpart the desired information, more
especially as the request was so softly made by
the distressed wife. As he pulled out is watch
to tell her the time White sprang toward him,
with a drawn pistol, which, being cooked, he
presented at the turkeys head, at the same
time remarking, 81 want to 20 out" Mrs.
White at this moment seized Murray round
the body, and commenced screaming as if ter
| rihed. She declared Murray must not. should
not, kill her husband. This was an affecting
| scene, hazardous piece of acting, and withal
somewhat ludicrouS. The devoted wife still

where it had been left 10y frienI, and fled at
full speed down Auction street towards Fourth.
One OF the officials, seeing what had occurred.
ran out Of the building and fired at White,
who tell to the opposite side of his horse as
gracefully as a Comanche Indian when making
the battle circle. The shot failed to hit the
speeding animal or the escaped prisoner who
turned down Fourth street by the brick church
IN Chelsea, and then turned into the Randolph
road. When last seen he was crossing the
Wolf river bridge, his horse being urged tc
full speed. Pursuit was made as quick as pos
Slble by Detective Curlcy McCune, Sheriff
Doyle, with his deputies, Captains Cranmel
and Murphy. Deceive McCune went out eight
miles, but nothing had been seen of the fugi
tive. Mrs White has been arrested and put
in jail, from which she had just released hel
husband.

Mr.. T. I. Barnum announces that if a bal
loon does not cross the Atlantic this Fall he
will spend $4,000 if necessary in having that
experiment tried as early as possible next year,
provided one or more aerOnautS can be found
in America or Europe who will heartily make
the attempt. lie evidently does not intend to
make the experiment with cheap balloon, for

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE
GERMAN PRESs.-The German press is a very
| treasure-hOuse of comical and eccentric adver-
tisements. Some of the papers make it a
practice to Gull the choicest flowers from this
motley garden, and to offer them on Sunday
to their readers, under the heading Comic
advertisements of the week" But Doctor
Schabe has gone further still He has made
a collection of 400 matrimonial offers from the
leading Berlin papers, classifying them with
true German diligence under several heads,
! giving the percentages of each and making
! them yield some very curious information
! We lind, for instance, that the male adyerti-
sers stand te the female in the proportion of
three to one, and that, while Sc per cent of
the gentlemen insist upon the requisites of
youth and beauty, 81 per cent. of the ladies'
allow utmost latitude in this respect to intend
| ing suitOrS, and 6 per cent. only make youth
an indispensable condition. The ladies, on the
other hand, in choosing partner for life are
very particular about intelligence" aud ICON
formty of religious principles l9 per cent
of the advertisers OF both sexes declare them
selves to be of the Mosaic confession" from
which it is argued that the real proportion of
Jews and Jewesses in the matrimonial market
arc much higher. Under the category of pro-
fessions, we find that the male advertisers, by
large majority, describe themselves as mer
|
which extorts some severe criticism from the
statistician, who seems to forget that in many
instances these sounding titles are undoubtedly
used with great latitude as to their meaning
One more point in connection with this subject
is worth notice. The ladies in all countries are
fond of dcscanting on the selfshness" and
" heartlessness" of the other sex, as is shown
in its preference for hard cash to all the Sc
ductions of beauty, wit and education And of
this state of feeling we have eloquent proof il
the fact that al per cent of the matrimo-
nially disposed ladies OF Berlin are careful to
draw attention to the amount of this world S
goods at their command, whereas only pei
cent of The men think it necessary to volun-
teer any particulars upon this head. That
some of these assertions are notoriously hoaxes,
devised for the purpose of making people rid
culous, or even with some worse intention
cannot perceptibly affect the general results of
the inquiry because hoax would have no
chance of success were it not generally known
that the practice itself is frequent, and the ap
plications made for the most part in good faith.
