Simpson 6 Best Cow.

A pretty rich thing occurred at the cs.
llshmeni oi Simpson not long since
Simpson used to hc or mlIknan. aud We
attributed To him, IN u great measure,ou
loss OF confidence IN humanity generally,
and milknen Ia particular. Mike Welsh
had been recommended to Simpson as u
tit man to assist IN tking care Of horses
and cows SO Mike was aired and placed
IN charge Of this department.
One morning, after Nike had been 4
mouth at the place, Simpson, who had
made ready u start otl With bis milk cart
said 10 him
Mike, you may give the COWS some
oatmeal this morning, an be sure you
give my best mixer an extra quantity.
The best miIker, is it, sir q
Ius; you know the old COW that
gives the most milk =
' Beolad ihink 10, sir "
"WeIl, you give her four quarts OF the
mash +"
All right, sir. u do that same
On The evening of lhst day, Simpson
had occasion To- go to the old wooder
pump in the yard He tried the handl,
but 1t wouldn't work The pump seemed
to be enlirely choked up Finally, l.,
discovered that al the upper part wa,
ioa,e'l with something vcty nearly resem
hing oatmeal mash. He called his mai
servant.
mike, "sail he, "what is the matter
with tue pun I"
f" The pump, il is, sir ~
Yes. How came THE oatmeal masl
in lyfeY"
F" Sure, sir, | put it in myself. "
Stupid blockhcad. Why did you do
thatY"
II %se- ycreelrthNttoll'nc sir.
l. ! told you to put it IN heref'
"lndecl YOU did, sir. "
"Why, You thich,Aealcl rascal. what
do YOU mean =
Don't be in passion, master Did
yc not tell me to give yer best mixer al
extra quantity of the mash; aud where
Ia all the world | 1t like to know, is III,
craythur that gives so much milk to yen
cans rs does this old pump y
The story leaked out, aud added great,
" to the distrust already ente tanned by

can be induced TO adopt. There is a great deal
Of hostility to repeating the Legal-tendel act
Very many agree with a part OF Judge Kelleys
proposition that TO repeal this act would be
political crime, but they couple tn,
assertoni with the qualification "un.

But they say that when the Government la
ready to resume, the repeal Of the Lega-tendel
act will be Of no Importance. Several Of the
compromise propositions of last Winter are 10.
ferred TO, and an effort is likely to be made to
frame bill embracing the propositions which
seem most likely from the experience OF last
session to receive support in the House. Que
or two facts are conceded. In the first place no
measure providing for the resumption
OF specie payments by contraction Of
the currency can be passed. No radical
and strong bill intended to accomplish rehump

prevail. The most that can be hoped for from

lead slowly towards the desired end. 1t is Le,

yield the proposition to repeal the Legal-tendeI
act to any other plan to secure the same end, II
one be proposed having more chances OF success.
