A RIPPING HUNTER.

Sir George talked horse like a
President, and was passionately fond
OF hunting. He did things upon
big scale. ! an told that his bag
gage weighed nearly nineteen tons,and
covered scores Of guns, pistols, kegs
of powder, half-dozen ducking boats
and canoes, portable shot tower, and
any quantity of fishing rods, gait
hooks, scalp nets and the irons.
His retinue including twenty-four
thorough bred dogs, seven horses and
ten servants. He had pile Of camp
equipage as high as "a hay-stack, and
thirty-two pairs Of real Bedford
cords. well worn. He either charter
ed large steamboat, or moved from
point to point in a special train.
the Savannah Netus declares that his
income is $400 day. There is good
reason to believe that this estimate
is under rather than above the truth.
THE RAID on MENATEE COUNTY.
Sir George first appeared in Jack
sonville during the latter part of Jan
uary. He had been killing antelopes
and buffaioes on the Plains, and had
come to Florida for a grand winter
crusade, his preparations astonished
the natives. He threatened to clean
out the entire peninsula and drive all
the game into the Cult Of Mexico.
Fortunately he overlooked the deer
dotted savannas and gobbler-echoing
hummocks of the Indian and kissi-
NEE Rivers, and made decent upon
the Gulf coast. He hired score OF
guides, and swooped down upon Men
atee county like prairie fire. For
a month the land resounded with the
roar Of his guns. Game was scarce,
but the Crackers declare that he
made it "a heap scarcer.' "1es
SIR" said one of them, "he druv all
the dur, bar, cats an tigers over to

county got shut of every turkey,

however, had bad luck with his dogs.

TIE SILVER BRICK TESTIMONIAL
The Virginia City (Nevada) En-
terprise says: ''The silver brick which
is to be forwarded to Sir Lambton
Lorraine by citizens of this portion of
Nevada, in testimony of their appre
citation of his noble humanity in the
Santiago de Cuba affair, is now COM
pleted, and will be sent away as soon
as suitable box has been manufac-
tured in which to ship it. The bar
weighs over fourteen pounds, troy,
and was purchased by contributions OF
81 each, made by citizens Of this
town, Gold Hill and Carson-no man
being allowed to contribute over 81.
The brick is very handsomely pro-
portioned, pure and smooth. The
upper surface is polished until it is as
bright as q mirror, while the bottom
and sides were left just as the bar was
taken from the mould. The inscrip
ton, which is rs follows, is engraved
on the polished face in old English
text, and old style Roman letter =

WASHING WHITE MER!Yo STOCK
INGs.-The following is the way to
wash white merino stockings so that
they will neither shrink, get hard,
aor loose color. Melt good quanti-
ty of Marseilles soap, or any viii e
soap that does not contain soda, in as
much boiling water as you are likely
to require; let stand till pefectly cold,
then wash your woolen things IN it,
and rinse them in clear cold water
with a little blue in it. You must
neither wiring nor squeeze them, but
stretch them into shape dripping on
line covering them with a cloth, in a
room where they will not he un'Ier
the influence of air, sun, or fire. If
your things are so soiled as to require
washing in two waters. both waters
must be prepared in the same way.
The finest merinos, both white and
colored, may be washed in this way !;
but if the color be delicate it is well
to pat the things lightly between two
cloths, in order to take off the super
huOus wet. Fine silk foulards treat
ed in this way and ironed while half
wet look like new.
PRUNE PIE FOR Dessert. In the

Agricultural Items.

CLEANLINESS IN THE DMRY.-Dr
Nichols, who makes farming pay in
Massachusetts,, and believes it can be
made pay anywhere, thinks the prof
its lies in the difference between the
prices of products of the best quality
and those of the other sort. And to
those who would make buttermaking
pay, he gives these suggestions:
With a herd of butter eotCs, it is ca
sy to make the "guilt-edged' butter
which always has commanded ready
market, and always will, at nearly
double the price of ordinary kinds.
How is this made? The first requi-
site is good rich milk, from selected
Jersey, or Short,Horn COWS second,
cleanliness and skillin manufacturing
A good, cool dairy room, properly
fitted up, is indispensable in order to
make this butter. In charming or
working, the hands should never
touch it. The salt should be OF the
cleanest and best quality, and the
scales must not be forgotten in the
use of the article. No odors of any
kind must be allowed in or about
dairy rooms. If the farmer comes
from the barn, he must leave his
boots outside of the room and put on
slippers. If necessary when coming
from the pig-sty or manure pit, he
must change bis clothing before ap-
preaching the delicate products of
the churn, so ready are they to alb
sorb everything unsayory to taste or
smell. This extreme care will pay,
and the more care, cleanliness and
skill brought into requisition, the
higher the price the butter will COM
mand.
FEED FOR HORSES. All horses
should not be fed in the same pro-
portions, without due regard to their
ages. their constitutions and their
work. Because the improperly of
such practice is self evident. Yet
it is constantly done, and is the basis
of disease of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account Of
its cheapness, because there is not
proper nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly III
furious. because il brings on infama-
ton of the bowels and skin diseases.
Chaif is better for old horses than
hay, because they can chew and di-
gest it better.
Mix chaff with corn or beans, but
do not give the latter alone, because
it makes the horse chew his food
more and digest it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support
a horse under hard work, because
there is not sufficient nutritive body
in either.
TREAT YoR Cow KINDLY.-If you
neglect or whip her, she will spite you
in the milk pail. The boy who is
passionate in his herd, never did and
never will see his parents realize prof
it from the dairy.

A ABLUE-BLoOEED ROOSTER.

The Grand National and the St.
James are the names of rival hotels
in this city. The former is kept by
Col. George McGinly, 4 jolly-faced
Georgian, and the latter by Deacon
j. Il. Campbell, a glib-tongued Yam
kee from Massachusetts. Their strug-
giles for public patronage excite uni
versal comment. The citizens take
sides in the fight, and the guests dis
pute as to the relative merits OF the
two hotels, even acting as runners on
the various railroad, and steamboat
lines. Last January the Yankee
Deacon was saddencd to hear that a
live English nobleman was stopping
with the Georgia Colonel. The Dea-
con ate nothing and never smiled un-
til the nobleman had left the city.
THE MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
About three weeks ago, Deacon
Campbell sat behind his desk, await
ing the arrival of the train from Sa-
vannah and Cedar Keys. The night
was balmy, and the whippoorwills
were twittering IN the foliage Of the
balmy magnolia trees. The train was
late. Finally, however. the omnibus
rumbled to the door, and deposited a
dozen guests. The Deacon, all smiles
and suayity, selected fine rooms for
his patrons, and congratulated them
on their safe arrival. This done, he
stretched and yawned, and went to
bed, leaving the hotel in charge Of
kingsbury, the night watclman.-
Kmgsbury is a squint-eyed Yankee,
with unique intellectual facultics.-
He turned down the gas and lighted
a pipe. Soon afterward a rough-look-
ing man entered the hotel and wrote
his name upon the register. His face
and hands were sunburned, and his
eyes looked blood shot. The watch
man thought that ne detected smell
OF whiskev about his clothes a
gray flannel shirt, torn coat, dirty
breeches and scaly brogans were all
that the visitor wore. kingsbury
gazed at him few seconds, as if un'
dec ded whether to kick him out or
allow him to remain.

saryice :" asked the hard-lookiEg Gus
toner.
Kingsbury hesitated. He eyed the
applicant very closely, and smelt of
him. There was q taint of liquor in
the air. "Oh, you wait room, do
YOU, old fellow y the watchman said.
"Well, ju.t stop here moment, and
keep your hands in your pocket, while

The old Irisman stared at the
watchman in perfect surprise. Ii
was some seconds before he could
catch his breath. "Tm greatly ob-
liged to We for your impertinence,' y
he said, but if can't find accommo-
datious here l must go where ! can
find them."
"That's right, old fellow the
watchman responded. "You better

the place for such slouchy old roos-
tiers as YOU
And tie indignant old Celt walked
down three flights of stairs followed
by the equally indignant watchman
As the old man was about to pass
out the front doors he met half
dozen hard fsted companions about
to enter
"Hold on, boys" he said. "This
is too aristocratic for Oos. The Ma
tional is the place for such slouchy
old roosters as oos."
A SUNRISE DISCOVERY.
And they went to the National. -
Two large express wagons loaded
with trunks travelled in their wakes.
The whippoorwills laughed at them
as they passed under the water-oaks
shading the public square, and the
stars shone brightly as they disap-
peared under the Georgia. Colonel's
portico.
When the sun arose Deacon Camp
bell got up and the whippoorwills
stopped singing. The Deacon came
down stairs with fine appetite.
Good morning, Kingsbury,D he
said. "How's your drunken Irish
man this morning? Is he up YETI"
"No SIR replied the watchman,-
"No. 40 wasn't good enough for him
He wanted the bridal chamber, and
| made him dust"
Here the Deacon stepped TO the
register and began to read the list of
arrivals. Suddenly his eyes dilated
A flush overspread his countenance.
Putting his forefnger upon the book,
he shouted: "Here, here, Kings
