The following il from Mr.. Howitt's
new story in the January Atlantic: He
would have her visit Faneuil Hall be-
cause of its Revolutionary memories,
but not less because Wendell Phillips
had there made his first anti-slavery
9, eech. She was to see the collections
Of the Massachusetts, Historical Society,
and; if possible, certain points of ancient
Colonial interest which he named but,
at any rate, she wa, somehow to catch
sight Of the Bigelow Papers" of Sena-
tor Sumner, of Mr.. Whittier, of DR..
Howe, of Colonel Higginson and Of Mr..
Garrison. These people were all Bos-
tonians TO the idealiziDg remOtencss OF
DR.. Ellison, and he could not conceive
of them asander. He perhaps imagined
that Kitty was more likely to see them
together than separately, and perhaps
indeed they were less actual persons, to
his admiration, than so many figures OF
a grand historical composition. Finally
al want you to remember, my dear
child" he wrote, "that in Boston you
are not only in the birthplace of Amer,
can liberty, but the yet holier scene OF
its resurrection. There everything that
is noble and grand and liberal and en-.

A Terrible Fellow.

Billy Bangs Is "a collector of bad bills
in Philadelphia. Everybody knows
Billy there, and he collects tho worst
kind of biIls-bilIs that people are viii
ling to throw away, which would be
thrown away if it were not for Billy.
AS it is, they give their bad bills to
Billy 10 collect.
BLY, Bangs wears very high hat-a
fanny relic. On the top he has painted
in flaming letters:
BAD BILLS Collected.
Thus arrayed with everybody looking
at his hat, he goes and knocks at the
debtors ofiice-stands around his door,
aud makes the premise, looks generally
ridiculous till the debt is paid. Then
Billy takes fifty per cent. of it and gives
the rest to his client"
Yesterday Billy Bangs was arrested.
lie went and stood around DIR. Dash's
office on election day. He called three
or four times, always showing his high
hat to passcrs by. By-and-by DR.. Dash
got angry, and ho went and kicked sir
Bangs out-kicked him clear across the
street.
DIR. Dash testified that Billy Bangs
had damaged his good namc-that he
got all the neighbors to laughing at him,
and that he was constantly doing this to
good citizens of Philadelphia who f lied
to pay all their little bills.
The result WAS Bills accquittal. The
court said they had no right to regulate
Billy Bangs hats, and that he could wear
~ "plug" hat all with letters, with a
town clock on it, if he wanted to. So
Billy is now the terror of everybody in

How Prominent PeoDI. Write.

The art Of caligraphy, or fair hand

accomplishments, and the manner in
which Il man puts down his thoughts is
often taken rs an index to his character.
Bat it is great mistake to suppose that
all our statesmen, old and new, did not
or do not write plainly, and that
the habit of rapid composition and
heavy correspondence lead to careless
ness. Washington's State papcers, his
letters, and accounts, arc models OF
order and cleanliness, rather set off by
his antique spelling. James Madison

ness of his nature, though somewhat
Indifferent to his photography. James
Buchanan prded himself upon his eau
tious style, his careful spelling, his ex-
act punctuation, and the absence of in
terlincation. Henry Clay wrote painly,
like an outspoken and intrepid soul.
Webster's hand, without being ornate,
was strong. George NJ. Dallas was a
master of the art. Nothing could be
more exquisite or more graceful, in man.

SHEEP RAISING IN CALIFORNIA. The wool
market for the last year has been so unusu-
ally good, that many in the lower country
are turning their attention almost exclusive
lv to sheep raising The land holders, on
the other hand, taking advantage of this in
creased demand, have put their ranges to
such price that even the most enthusils-
tic sheep men hesitate about taking 1t at
these biz h terms. The plenteous rains have
made the feed good, 80 that this year is ex-
pected to rival the past in the wool business.
A better class of producers are now engaged
10 this business than heretofore. They treat
their sheep in more scientific manner and
endeavor continually to improve the breed
The latter is not very easy matter at pres
ent, as a number of fine bucks have died
lately, and there is want of good herders ia
the lower country. One of the most popular
methods by which the holder of lands and
the proprietor of sheep herds combined is
going in on shares The holder of the
land has half the increase and profit (sharing
of course, the expense of raising) and the
original owner of the flock has the use OF
the formers range. On the whole, a better
class of men than heretofore are interesting
themselves in the wool produ cling Of Califor

them in yards forty feet square, with com
Portable houses. For the next six months
he kept an account of their food and egg
production. with the following results:
The Dark Brahmas ate three vndred and
sixty nine and a half quarts OF corn, oats,
wheat screenings, laid six hundred and five
eggs, and weighed seventy pounds.
The Gray Dorkings ate three hundred

FEEDING FowLs.-No plan is so extrava-
CANT or injurious as to throw down heaps
once or twice a day. They should have it
scattered as far as possible, that the birds
may be longer and healthier employed in
finding it, and may not accomplish in few
minutes that which should occupy them for
hours For this reason every sort Of feeder
or hopper is bad. 1t is the nature of fowls
to take grain at a time, and to pick grass
and dirt with it, which assist digestion; but
if, contrary to this, they are enabled to elt
corn by mOuthfuls, their crops are soon over
filled, and they seek relief in excessive
draughts OF water. Nothing is more injuri-
Gus than this; and the inactivity that at
tends the discomfort caused by it lays the
foundation of many disorders. While speak
ing of food, it may be observed that when
from travelling, or any other cause, fowl
has tasted long time-say thirty or forty
eight hours-it should not b. allowed any
hard food. For the first three hours it should
have small portion, say teacnplul OF
sopped bread, very wet, so much as TO serve
for food and drink If the bird appears to
suffer much from the journey, instead of
bread and water give bread and ale Michigan

SHEEP HUsBANDRY IN CALIFoRNIA.-Alrea
California is beginning to question how long
it can afford to raise wool. Some of it's peo-
pie say that its lands are too valuable for that
business; but another citizen proves by
figures that 1000 sheep at So apiece placed
on land at so an acre will repay the cost of
the land in two years. Another stock-raiser
has paid S. for 2000 high-grade sheep and
proposes to feed them on 100 acres OF alfalfa
land and counts sure profit of $3.50 an
acre. Others are making experiments in con-
fining their focks to limited area and cul-
tivatlng 1t with this quick growing and nutri-
tious grass. They divide their fields, and as
soon as one tract is eaten down the sheep are
placed in another, and the alfIlta IN the first
starts up again quite rapidly. Such is the
climate and such the quick-srowing character
of this crop that five harvests of it may be
made in year. averaging two tons per acre
at each harvest. But mitigating the at
fractions of this article t cannot be raised on
very dry and, a certain amount Of moisture
being absolutely necessary. But it is good
thing to see the wastelul and extravagant
California mind turning its attention to farm
ing by the acre, talking of combining Its cul-
ture and its sheep-growins to special fields
and limited areas.
