WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHIC FEAT.

The San Francisco Examiner says
Some time ago Governor Stamford,
the owner of the horse Occident,
which was made famous from having
been beaten in race with the Gold
smith Maid, desired to have a photo
grapl of the animal taken while said
animal was going at full speed. Mr..
Muybridge, the artist, was applied to,
but he expressed his doubts that it
could be done. He began expert
menting, however, and after q while
was able to catch objects on the wing
with great success. A few days ago
he announced to the owner of Occi-
dent that he believed that he could
take the picture. He procured all the
stable sheets to be had IN the stable,
and with these made rejecting back.
ground. Over this Occident was
trained to trot, and everything was
then in readiness for the trial. The
great difficulty was to transfx an i'm
preston while the horse was moving
at the rate of thirty eight feet to the
second. The first experiment of open
ing and closing the camera on the
first day left no result the second day
with increased velocity in opening and
closing, a shadow was caught. On
the third day, the artist having stud
led the matter thoroughly, contrived
to have two boards slip pass each 9TH
er by touching a spring, and, in so
doing, to leave an eighth of an inch
opening for the five-hundredth part
of second, as the horse passed, and
by an arrangement of double lenses,
crossed, secured negative that shows
Occident in full motion--a perfect
likeness Of the horse. The space of
time was so small that the spokes of
the wheels of the sulky were caught as
if they were not in motion. This is
probably the most wonderful success
in photographing ever yet achieved,
and the artist is as proud of his dis
covery as the Governor is of the pic
ture taken.

a STAGE TRICK. .

Seeing John Brougham, the other
evening, brought to MUD one of the
dramatic jokes that he used to put up
on the adiences at Burton's old thea
tre in Chambers street. An announce
ment was made on the bills of an
after-piece called "This House for
SALE" During its progress some of
the actors would pretend to have q
misunderstanding resulting in high
words, bitter recriminations, and the
ringing down of the curtain, amid
great confusion.
Then one of the comedians woul.I I
appear before the foQt-lights, apologize
for the unpleasant scene that had oc-
CURED, and justify himself for the part
he had taxed in the quarrel. After
his retirement, another actor would
present himself, rehearse his griev-
ances, and endeavor to set them right
with the audience.
The people in front would get much
excited and take sides with this or
that actor, and would be divided be-
tween Misses and applause. The play
ers would add to the confusion by
rushing before the curtain, and con
tTadicting one another. When tho
agitation was in its height, Jehn
Brougham would enter upon the scene,
and beg for the sake of public decen.
cy and professional honor, to be heard
a few moments. Then he would re-
mark that the title of the piece was
"This House for Sale" and he would
leave it to his friends in the pit and
boxes TO determine whether "thiI
house" had not been very badly sold.
The audience, then perceiving for the
first time how it had been cajsled,
would burst into a roar of laughter,
and go home in perfect good humor.
Those who had heen deceived one
evening were so anxious others should
be deceived on another evening, that
they would keep their own counsel.
The newspapers were in the secret, and
made no allusion to the joke, which,
br this means, was kept up for FIVE or
six weeks.-Cor, 81. Louis Globe.

One of the greatest errors in over.
coming cows that are Hnquiet while
being MIXED, is to whip, beat, kick,
and bawl at them. This is generally
done and the COW becomes afraid and
angry, and, instead of becoming bet
ter, grows worse. Mich COWS cannot
be whipped or terrified into standing
quietly, gently, and patiently during
milking. They dislike TO be MIXED /;
for they know that loud words and
hard blows always attend the operation.
They dread to see the mixer, as the
little urchin breads to see the birchen
rod IN the hand of an angry pedagogue,
when he expects TO have it applied to
his back. A COW kindly and properly
treated is pleased to see the mixer,
gladly awaits his or her approach, and
submits with pleasure to the operation
of being MIXED.
Every one having experience with
COWS knows this to be true. But the
COW is opposed to a change of mixers !:
she soon becomes attached to one per-
son who performs the operation, and
does not willingly and freely give down
her milk to another person: therefore.

bear in mind, if you change mixers,
it is at the expense of loss OF milk,
and of injury to the COW.
All animals appreciate kind treat.
ment, and resent abuse. See that
those who milk them control them
selves, govern their passions, speak
low and kindly under almost any pro-
vocation; and soon the cows will learn
that they are not going to be abused,
and will submit TO the operation.
Milking should be performed al regu-
lar hours, not varying fifteen minutes
one day from the other. No talking or
laughing should be permitted ohio

Overreaching i'm Horses.

Youatt, the best English authority
land all American writer's on the horse
copy after him without taking the
trouble to think for themselves-in
many cases they are all in rut, ike
many of the sell. constituted teachers
in politics, religion and materia medica
of the present day., says.
This unpleasant noise, known also
by the terms clicking, overreach, ;
&C., arises from the toe of the hind
foot knocking against the shoe of the
fore foot In a trot, one fore leg and
the opposite hind leg are first lifted
from the ground and moved forward,
the other fore leg and the opposite
hind leg remaining fixed but to keep
the center of gravity within the base,
and as the stride or space passed over
by these legs is often greater than the
distance between the fore and hind
feet, 1T Is necessary that the fore feet
should be moved alternately out of the
way of the hind feet to descend
Neither Youatt nor any modern
writer, so far as / have seen, offers
suggestions to get the fore feet out of
the way of the hind feet. Youatt, not
knowing what else to say, suggests the
following:
Nothing can be done except to keep
the toe of the hind foot as short and as
round as it can safely be-"
If machanIc of ordinary skill should
find that any part of the machinery OF
which he was in charge move too slowly
for that which was to follow, he would
at once set his WITS at work to get the
former to move out of the way of the
latter. Now let any novice clap his
fiat hand on the table and move his fore
arm in imitation of the movement of a
horses fore foot, and then double up
his fist and perform the same motion,
and he will readily see how much
quicker a horse con get his fore foot
out of the way of the hind foot with a
sholt hoof than longer foot and toe
calk.
Let the smith shoe your horse behind
as usual; no clipping, rasping, OF
shortening beyond what is usual, but
to prevent clicking, cut offthe toe or
crust of the shell of the hoofs on the
fore feet, placing the heel-calks in their
proper places, and you will have no
clicking.

thorlties confessing the crime of which
she was accused, the details of which
surpass in their evidence of cruelty and
inhumanity, anything hitherto revealed.
She confessed to having caused adver-
tisements to be published in the Nea-
politan journals, stating that any per.
son DESTROYS of riddlug themselves of
their children could procure relief by
calling upon her and paying her a GER
of the infant. As far as the woman
was capable of remembering, she had
willingly starved to death about twenty
children, male and female, by locking
them up in an empty apartment, from
whence she could not hear their cries.
She administered poison atintervals to
about the same number of infants, and,
when dead, she was in the habit of
concealing the corpses beneath tie
floors of her house. She pursued this
terrible system of crime for three
years without detection, in
order to satisfy her greed

plicated a woman by the name of Mar

petrating these crimes, and who is now

conduct, she stated that her husband
had deserted her without cause, when
they had been married only five
months, and that the hopeless poverty
and anxiety which followed his deser-
ton, and the unsullied virtue of her
early life, had led her to adopt this
method of supporting herself.

thickness throughout and of fine
texture. They should be placed about
one-third of the length of the vessel
apart in one direction, and about one
half the other. When the udder is not
distended, they should hang perpen-
dicularly. Large teats, however de-
sirable to the mixer, are usually
accompanied by coarseness of build in
the COW. They are seldom found on
well.bred animals, yet exceptionally
they so occur, and are much liked. A
teat should be large enough to grasp,
say from two to two and a half inches
in length. A shorter one would be an
objection; with larger, should fear
coarseness.
