BREACH OF PRoMIsE-A Practical
JOKE IN ENGLAND.-The London Ne,0S
tells the story OF a young gentleman in
Lincolnshire, who being engaged to mar
ry certain young lady, came to her one
day and said that he had bet his cousin
two bottles OF wine that this young lady
would release him from the engagement
if he asked her to do so. 1t was all bit
Of fun, he said and she would write a
note giving him up? The young lady
seems to have entered quite into the spirit
of the joke ; and in order to procure for
her lover the honor and glory of winning
the two bottles of wine, she gave him a
sheet of paper on which she had written,
" Dear Mr.. B., wish you would discon-
tinue paying your visits to me. Iremain
your well-wisher, A. H." 1t was GER
tainly imprudent Of this girl to deliver
any such formal order of release to her
lover; but it has frequently been remarked
that young folks are as ingenious in de-
vising means for testing the confidence OF
each other as are amiable persons who
take country lad into tavern, profler
him friendship, and get him to give them
twenty pounds to show that he believes
in their honesty. We have no means OF
knowing whether this warrant of release
was not obtained as much as proof OF
affection and confidence as a means oI
carrying out joke. However, the de-
fendant in the suit carried off the docu-
ment, and did not return it. Moreover
meeting the young lady on subsequent
occasion, he got from her brooch and
pair of earrings he had given her, on
the ignoble pretence that he wished to
buy her bracelet to match. After that
nothing was heard of him. Furnished
with a release from the contract of mar
riage, he had simply withdrawn himself,
taking with him what presents he could
conveniently recover. But here, again,
this very good joke was doomed to have
awkward results. The young gentleman
in question found himself at the Lincoln
hsSiAosj anu th6 jury WOulu IlhVe nOtnlnp
to say to the bit of paper that he had OBJ
tanned in such a humorous fashion. On
the contrary they proceeded to assess the
damages done to the young lady's feel
ings just as if she had been the victim OF
insult and injury combined; and we all
know that when a dozen jurymen start
with that notion, they generally make the
defendant pay pretty smartly. The young
man who won the bet, if there was bet
in the case, may have got his two bottles
Of wine, but he had to pay $500 to the
too trusting young person who had fur
nished him with written release. He
will avoid such dangerous jokes in the
future.

A REPREsENTATIVE STAGE-DRIvER.
A correspondent of the S. f. Bulletin,
writing from Los Angeles under date of
April 6th, thus discourses concerning q
we'll known character of the stage line to
that place: "'Yank is stage-driver
on the Telegraph Stage line from Upton
to Bakersfield. l scorn to give his other
name. He was baptized by the name Of
Yank when he came to California, and
no white man wants to know more than
that. Yank is good boy and knows
how to handle the ribbons. He was not
always stage-driver. Seeing the need
Of good trails in early days, Il. e., Fall of
40 or Spring of 800 like true philan-
thropist, he devoted his feet to trail
breaking. or course the result was q
slight development of their size, for which
some city ducks sneer at him but Yank
does not care for that cent. His en-
ployer, "Bill" Hamilton, docks his wages
every month for the extra weight of his
feet on the stage he drives, which, he
says, lessons the front boots stowage ca
pacity one-half; but Yank goes right
along all the same, and continuesto study
the Codes every "of" night he has.
While other drivers are playing seven-up
and bean poker for ''the drinks" he goes
to bed and with his tallow candle set in a
dry-goods box, reads up the lucid and
harmonious provisions OF the Codes. He
can now tell 70 dot at what time chew
of tobacco is allowable, when stage

licking the near wheeler and OH leader.

DEATH FROM SMOKINd.---The New
York correspondent of the Buffalo COar-
Ter reports sad case of death resulting
from smoking. He says that for thirty
years the victim has been heavy smoker
of the choicest cigars, but in all his other
habits temperate and regular, and Of ex-
cellent constitution-one who, of all men,
would laugh ut the suggestion that to-
bacco was killing him. On Sunday he
was stricken with the progressive paraly-
sis characteristic of nicotine, and on the
next Sunday night no died. His death
was most pitiful. First, sight was lost,
then speech, then motion of the neck,
then motion Of tho arms, and so on
throughout the body, and he lay for q
fortnight unable to move or make sign,
save pitiful, tongueless, inarticulate
sound, which sometimes rose TO almost
frantic effort, all in vain to make known
what he wished TO say to his family or
friends--for his consciousness and mental
faculties were left unimpaired until within
two hours Of the last, to aggravate to tho
utmost the horrors of his situation-a liv-
ing soul in dead body. The sense of
hearing was left unimpaired, SO that he
was conscious OF all around him, while as
incapable of communicating with them
as if dead, save by slight sign of assent
or dissent to the question. The doctors
were full agreed that tobacco was the sole
cause of this stroke.

that, at the time of the hymsneal con-
tract, the man was thirty-fye years old
and the girl five; which makes the man
seven times as old as ths girl. They live
together until the girl is ton years-this
makes him forty years old and four times
as old as the girl; they live until she is
fifteen, the man being forty y-fye-this
makes him three times as old; they still
live till she 10 thirty years old-this makes

as we haven't time to work it out, per

Sour Milk for Cows or for Hogs.

WE cannot advise the use of sour milk
as a feed for mich cows, because such
food will be likely to have a deleterious
influence upon the quality of the milk
Welded by the cows. We have, in the
germ theory, an explanation of the man
ner in which milk is changed from its
normal condition and rendered unfit for
human food. 1t has been proven that
stagnant water-the water from filth
pools-is alive with organisms, either an
imal or vegetable, that make it unfit to
use or allow cows TO drink 1t has been
shown by the investigation of Professor
Law, that living organism can be carried
in water through the body of the COW into
her milk and retain their vitality. Ii has
been proven by experiment that by feed
ing cows distillers' Stops the yeast plant
peculiar to brewers yeast has been thus
conveyed to the milk and has been found
growing therein The acidifying germs
in sour whey, when fed to mich cows,
retain their vitality in the milk of such
cows, causing it to sour prematurcly.
Numerous well-authenticated cases are re
corded where the milk has been injured
by the cows breathing the foul odors of
decomposed animal matter-the cmana-
nations from purifying carcasses Of calves
and horses left exposed in the pasture.
Hence it must be evident that sour milk
when fed to cows must have more or less
influence on the milk yielded by the cows,
affecting its flavor and rendering it more
susceptible to decomposition than il would
if this character of food was not given to
the cows.
But if milk is liable to he injured and

Dipping the Hand Into Molten Iron.

The thing has been done over and over
again, observed DIR. Carpenter in a recent
lecture-that a man has, gone and held
his naked hand in such q stream of mol
ten iron, and has done it without the
least injury; all that is required being to
have his hand moist, and if his hand is
dry, he has merely to dip it in water, and
he may hold his hand for certain time
in that stream of molten iron without re-
ceiving any injury whatever. This was
exhibited publicly at a meeting of the
British Association at Ipswich, many
years ago. 1t is one of the miracles of
science, so to speak; they are perfectly
credible to scientific men, because they
know the principle upon which it hap
pens, and that principle is familiar to
you all that if you throw a drop of water
upon hot iron, the water retains its spher-
ical form, and does not spread upon it
and wet it. Vapor is brought to that con-
dition by intense heat, that it forms sort
of film, or atmosphere, between the hand
and the hot iron, and for a time that at
mosphere is not too hot to be perfectly
bearable. There are number of these
miracles of science, which we believe,
however incredible at first Sight they may
appear, because they can be brought to the
test Of experience and can be at any time
reproduced mdss. Ahe necessary condi-

- Mistakes in MatrimOny.
THERE are two important mistakes a

THERE are two important mistakes about
it which deserve special notice. One is
that which DR.. Watts has sanctioned in
his celebrated lyric, that souls were pair
ed when sent into this world, and some
how have got mixed and jumbled up,
scarcely any one getting his counterpart,
or having any chance of doing so; and
that hence are the Earrings of the married
state. Many people lay off their miseries
upon this mystic fatalism, and think if
they had only their true partners, they
should have been supremacy happy. Now,
the truth is, there are no persons but those
regenerated, or becoming so, who can be
brought into any intimate relation, least
Of all the most intimate, without drawing
out the mutual points of repulsion in their
character.
We are not sent into the world paired
and nicely fitted to each other without
any agency of our own; we are brought
here with selfish natures to be subdued,
and angelic natures to be unfolded from
within; and this is done through constant
watchings, selfdenials, and efforts. Let
two persons, then, with hearts intensely
natural, be brought together in the
most sacred of all relations. They
think they are matched. They are so.
But it may be either for a draw game at
self, or for walking with equal pace on
the heavenly road. If they. begin in
earnest lie OF regeneration, internal
evils, as they come successfully into
the consciousness, will be denied, and
! have all their Jagged points filed of, and
finally will be cast out entirely; and
whereas their union at first might have been
only external, it may become more and
more internal, and at length it may be-
come so perfect that, for aught we know,
they may only appear in the spiritual
| world like one person instead of two. AT
any rate, they become together complete
| humanity, whereas apart they would be a
humanity halved and splft int twain.
On the other hand, suppose regenerate
life does not begin, but selfish and worldly
living rather Then the jagged ,gpoints of
two selfish natures will begin to show
themselves, and they will grow more pro-
| trusive, sharp and prickly, and make the
disunion more and more complete. This
will appear at first rather insensibly I'M
der externals, but win grow to terrible
reality At first they will only wish to
look at the moon through separate win
dows; but very soon it, will be, as Hood
says, and they will want separate moons
| to look at; and, lastly, there will be no
moon at all, for all the romance of life
will have gone out in total darkness

The usual ceremony of taking up, and
whipping, and putting down carpets is
almost upon us. 1t is one of the ills
which flesh is heir to, and cannot be
avoided. You go, home some pleasant
spring day, at peace with the world, and
find the baby with clean face, and you
get your favorite pudding for dinner.
Then your wife tells you how much
younger you are looking, and she really
hopes she can turn thatyalHng dress she
wore last fall, and save the expense of a
new suit, and then she asks you if you
can't just help her about taking up the
carpet. If you are fool, and you gener
ally are by that time, you tell her, of
course you can, just as well as not. Then
she gets d saucer for tte'tacks and stands
aud holdsit, and you get the claw and get
down'on your knees and begin to help
her. You feel quite economical about the
FIRST three tacks, and take them out care
fully, and put them ID the saucers Your
begules you with an interesting story
about how yovr ffefgf7bof's 1fttfeF boy is
not expected to live till morning. Then
you come to the tack with a crooked head
and you get the claw under it and the
head comes off, and the carpet comes off
and it won't do to leave the tack in the
floor, because it will tear the carpet when it
is put down again, so you go to work and
skin your knuckles, and get silver under
your thumb-nail, and tell your wife to
shut up about that everlasting boy, and
make up your mind that it does not make
any difference about that tack, and so you
begin on the corner where the carpet is
doubled two or three times, and has been
nailed down with single nail. You
don't care a continental about saving the
nail, because you find that it is not good
time for the practice of economy, but you
do feel little hurt when both clauses
break Oft from the claw, and the nail does
not bulge peg. Then your manhood
asserts itself, and you rise in your might,
and throw the carpet claw at the dog, and
get hold of the carpet with both hands,
and the air is full of dust and flying lacks,
and here is a fringe of carpet yarn all
along the mop-board, and the baby cries,
and the cat goes anywhere out of the
world, and your wife says you ought to be
ashamed of yourself to talk so-but that
carpet comes up. Then you lift one side
of the stove, and your wife tries to get the
carpet from under it, but can't, because
you are standing on it. So you try a new
hold and just after your back
breaks the carpet is clear You
are not through yet. Your wife
don't 10, tell you any more lit
tie stories, but gets your old coat and
hangs it on you and opens the back door
and shoves You out, and intimates that the
carpet needs whipping. When you hang
the tormenting thing across the clothes
line the wrong way, and get it righted,
and have it slide off into the mud, and
hang it up again, and get half pint of
dust and three broken tacks snapped out
of the northwest corner into your mouth
by the wind, you make some observations
which you neglected to mention while in
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1873-05-24

tainted from the causes we have named, as
well as from great many others causes,
such as unhealthy cows, the various dis
eases incident to the animals, neglect in
the care of dairy utensils, uncleanliness in
milking, etc, we increase the difficulty by
putting such milk back into the bodies of
the COWS to be again used over in the pro-
cess of secretion, and sowing again the
seeds of decomposition for crop of bad
milk.
Again, simply as matter of profit, we
are of the opinion that sour milk can be
used with more advantage as a food for
hogs than for cows. Sour milk makes a
good diet for swine, and in connection
with grain is said to give most excellent
flavor TO the meat Indeed it is asserted
that no food in connection with grain
or MEALS better suited for fat
tenlng hogs than milk, both for the in
crease of weight and quality of meat
which it makes. 1t is undoubtedly d
good, healthy food for swine, and is better
adapted to the making of meat in this
class of animals than the production of
milk in cows.
The best food for mich cows is good
sweet grass from upland pastures 1t can
be produced more cheaply than sour milk
and with the light of our experience and
observation we should say that more prof,
can be realized by feeding such milk to
swine than to cows.-COr. Rural Neu
