How to Lead a Cow.

Every woman will tell you that man
can be led easier by putting an arm
around his neck than by pulling his halr,
but we never knew till recently that the
reason YOU can't lead COW behind wag-
on is because she objects To having her
horns pulled. The Other day red.shirt-
ed enigraDt passed through here ON his
way to Carroll County. His family and
house hold possessions were in covered
wagon, to the hind end of which was
fastened COW. Behind her with sharp
stick walked the emigrant, giving her u
smart welt occasionally when she hung
back. Every now and then she would
brace herself and stop The team, aud then
in unclerical language he would bcseech
her to go on, marking each torcihle
period with prod of the sharp stick.
The poor COW rolled her eyes and rolled
her tongue. The poor emigrant, too, was
dusty and tired, but his voice ana stick
didn't fail him. She had suddenly halted
the procession in front of the post office,
and was shaking her head in reply to
his earnest entreales, when man
called out to Red Shirt that he did not
"understand cows worth = cent
"Well, what are you going to do about
it!" asked Red Shirt
"Why just take that rope on her horns,
and put it around her neck, and she'll
lead MS quiet as lamb If she don't I'll
follow her a mile myself"
The rope was changed to her neck and
the team started. She gave Il look of sur
prise and walked along. "Well, that
beats all I" said Red Shirt, and without
word of thanks he mounted his wagon.
The procession moved slowly on toward
Carroll County, and the COW followed
with countenance as placid as if she were
walking home at milking time.-Ames

An immense crowd visited the Capitoline
grounds in Brooklyn, on the afternoon of the
18th, to witness the departure Of the big bal
loon for Europe The process of imitation
commenced at an early hour in the morning,
and continued steadily until ten minutes past
four, when the balloon suddenly swayed to
the north, ripped half way around with great
tearing sound, and fell fiat upon the ground.
The immense volume of gas which had been
pumped into 1t, nearly 4O0,O00 feet, escaped at
the same moment, nearly suffocating those
who stood on the inside. The crowd made a
general rush over the ropes with the intention
Of tearing up the canvas into small pieces and
carrying them OF as mementoes, but the
strong force of police on the ground charged
and drove them back. Mr. Stiner, who had
contracted TO I'LL the balloon, said that 1t
would be all folly to attempt another imitation,
as the bag was not made Of the proper mate

present.

1t will be seen from the above that the
Republicans elected a, the Democrats 40,
and the Independents" 80, the latter be-
ing beaten by both the others. Certainly
this is very slimsy foundation on which
to construct great victory. 1t reminds
one of Artemus Wards battles with a
Southerner, when the Snowman held the
former firmly down by placing his nose
between the fre.eater's teeth. The facts
are, that Casserly led the Democracy In
the camp of the Central Pacific Railway /;
that Booth led the Anti. .Monopolsts, or
Republicans; and the Republicans will
vote for the latter for United States Sen.

Republican Victory In California.

THE election in California has resulted,
in most respects, very satisfactorily. Gov
ernor Booth, who has become somewhat
famous for his part in the canvass there,
is Republican, of undoubted character,
and some time ago instituted a decided
opposition to the Central Paci6 Railway
Company. In San Francisco and vicinity
this great railway monopoly succeeded in
enlistihg a few Republicans in its cause,
but throughout the State the fight was be-
tween the Republicans as against this un-
scrupulous corporation, and the Demo-
Gratis generally, headed by Senator Cas-.
serly, supposed to represent it. The re-
suit is that the Legislature is undoubt-
edly Republican, which will insure the
return of a Republican United States Sen
ator in place of Casserly, Democrat The
assumption by some of the Modoc Jour.
nalists that the late contest there was
triangular fight between Republicans,
Democrats, and Anti-Monopolists is the
merest mOonshine. One would think
they had gained their knowledge of Cali
fornia politics from the Detailed and be-
toggled John Cinnamon who run the
Oriental laundry in the South Division of
this city. If such were the case, the
Associated Press dispatches printed in
their own papers would show that it was
the Republican and not the Anti Monopoly
ticket that was successful. The dispatch
referred to, which appeared in all the
city papers, was as follows: "The
composition of the next Legislature will
be; Republicans, "A; Independent, 80 |;
Democrats, 40. Sixty-one votes will be
required TO elect a Senator. The indie.
pendents and Republicans together would
cast eighty votes, assuming that some hold
over. The Republicans will vote for
Booth, and his strength at the outset

Mrs. Peck and her niece, Miss Beames,
stared at each other like two galvanized
females.
"It's all your fault, Blanche" said Mrs.
Peck, bursting into tears.
You began II first, auntp shrieked
Blanche, with all the premonitory symp-
toms of Mysteries; while poor Eliza Ann
ran to and fro, for camphor, sal-volatile
and burnt feathers, scarce knowing what
to think or believe.
But when the peaceful twilight shadows
settled over the chimney tops, all was re-
stored to quiet again, and Mr.. Siverton
meditated deeply.
I'm well out of that scrape," said he
to himself, "and it's good thing found
Miss Blanche out in time to spoil that
piece of fun about the young widow But
there's the wedding suit ordered, and the
wedding ring, and I'd made up my mind
to marry somebody. Is that you, Eliza

faded young person. 1--WE brought your

Eliza Ann. Did you ever think of being

"Ive a mind to marry you myself,
Eliza Ann" said the old bachelor, alb
ruptly.
"Oh, sir, amt half good enoughl"
said the lowly minded Eliza Ann.
"Yes, you are" said Mr.. Siverton.
"Come here and kiss me, my dear. After
all, you are very pretty when you blush

And so Eliza Mellick married the rich
old bachelor after all, and Miss Blanche
still remains Miss Blanche.

"Ies, Why 20

THE Albany Journal asks, "Why should
the people distrust Republicanism and
confide in Democracy Democrats
initiated the war, organized the rebellion,
sympathized with treason, opposed eman-
cipation, fought against civil rights, and
sought to embarrass the Government in
all its efforts to rehabilitate the States,
establish order, enforce the laws, punish
violence and bring stability and peace
out of the chaos ofwar, But Republicans
promptly met the responsibilities of the
conflict which was thrust upon them,
stood by the Government and the country
through the fearful struggle, conquered a
peace, gave freedom to the slave, equal
rights to all the people, protection of the
weak, security to property and life, a
stable currency, and unparalleled pros
periJ and an enduring peace to the coun-
try. II requires but to look upon this pic
ture and upon that TO decide which party
is most deserving of the popular favor,
and which is most likely TO receive it,.
Wise men do not call in the aid of the
microscope to detect the petty flaws in a
diamond which dazzles their eyes with
its lustre." The Journal might have
added, with great propriety, that a Re.
publican Administration, within five
years, have paid off four hundred millions
of the public debt, established public
credit, and secured general prosperity TO
all branches of industry In every section
Of the country.-1OLedO Blade.

ONE of the most curious features of the
Yellowstone region is to be found in the
hot springs. On the borders of the Vel

mounds, which jut out from the shore in.

with heated water, so that it is possible
for person standing on the mound to

THE Piutes in Utah occupy their leisure
moments in catching flying lizards with
sticks curved like the handle of cane,
and eat them. When Piute sees one he
extends his stick, and 10y dexterous twist
of the wrist spins the lizard in the air,
catching him in his hands as he comes
down. The flesh of these lizards resem-
bles the meat Of bull-trog, and they are
said to be even more delicious. As fast
as the Indians catch them they string
them around their waists and necks, and
roast them one by one, as they become
hungry.

THE decrease IN the yield of water by
the artesian well in Central Park, Chicago,
has led to an experiment, the result of
which possesses considerable interest. AT
the request of the Park Commissioners,
the flow of all the other wells in the city
was stopped for period of sixteen hours,
and it was found that thereupon the vol.
ume of water discharged by the well in
Central Park increased. The inference
from this is that all the artesian wells in
the city are supplied from the same sub
terranean stream, and that any further
multiplication of these wells will not in
crease the aggregate yield of water, but
will only divide it SO as to impair the
value of all.
