The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-08-13
The Candidate in the Second District

This paper has more than once de-
clared that it has no desire to attempt
to mould or control public opinion in
the interest Of any candidate or clique.
1t does not believe such work to be the
legitimate province Of public journal.
It will be glad, however. to have all
candidates properly and courteouslv
discussed in its columns by their friends
or opponents.
We have already published, with great
pleasure, some well-deserved words Of
commentator of Hon. E. St. Julien
Cox, Of St. Peter. With equal pleas
ure we copy the following from the
last number of the Shakopee Argus in
behalf of our friend J1dge Mcdonald !:
The question that is now being pondered
over by the leading men Of the Democratic,
Liberal Republican, and Anti Monopoly par
ty is: Who is the most available man in this
district to be our standard bearer for Con
gress in the coming campaign!
There are several spoken of in connection
with the position, either Of whom would
no doubt be well qualified to fill the place
with honor to their constituents
On the 9th day of next month that oues-
ton will be settled, and it behooves US in
the mean time to select the proper man
one whose character is above reproach.
Reputation, ability, and past record must
stand the test of criticism. These are the
qualities to be sought after in the first place.
If all the candidates spoken of possess these
requisites, then who can command the most
votess Who is the most popular? We do
not propose to decide between them, but.
knowing Judge Mcdonald bettor than any
of the others, and understanding that he IS
to brought before the convention, we can
say that for Scott county he is the right
man. and, while he is in every way worthy
Of the position, we do not feel any delicacy
in saving that he is the peer Of any Of the
candidates in any ofthose requisite elements
needed in our candidate to guarantee sue
cess to our side; and should he be nor1i-
mated, he will undoubtedly be the right man
in the right place
We understand it is not the wish of Mr..
Mcdonald or his friends that any pressure
should be brought to bear upon the conven-
ton to secure his nomination; bnt we can
assure our party friends that if he is nomi
ated, Scott county would poll vote fol-
him that wih astonish his opponents

OS last Monday afternoon might have
been seen multitude Of eyes, all up
and down every thoroughfore in Cen
eseo, gazing at the first fight Of grass
hoppers ever seen in these parts. Mil
lions on millions Of these scourges filled
the atmosphere. and excited some men
good deal, who thought them to be
about to devastate our country. We
caught several, and found them to be
only or common grasshoppers, though
they present whitish aspect while in
the air. The air was full, as high as
the sight could reach. Henry Co.,

A PENNSYLVANIA DAIRY

good grade cows. Have recently pur-
chased full bred Attorney COW that
will soon be in profit. making eight IN

profit. As l frequently see statements
Of diaries in your paper, l send you
one also.
In 1873 we had but seven milking
COWS, one of which was In profit the
first time, and is now coming three
years old. Another is a three utter, -
as it is called, from a misfortune az
ealving time. The seven averaged in a
year 206pounds of butter apiece. We
realised 40 cents per pound net average
of the season.
In 1S72,our dairy did better cows,
averaging 240 lbs. per COW. l am glad
Col. Waring wrote that letter in the

Use OF HORsE.FLEsH IN FRANCE

The committee for introducing the
use of horse-hesh into France reports
that, during the first six months of
1867, 1913 horses, asses and mules were
sold in Paris, the weight of which
amounted to 10000 kilOgrammes.
During the first six months of 1870 the
number of animals amounted to 1892,
or 100000 kilogrammes; while in the
same period of 1873, :, 61S animals were
exposed in the markets, the flesh alone
weighing SS3,S40 kilOgrammes, not
counting the heart, brain, liver, tongue,
etc, which were also used like those of
beef cattle. A similar extension of the
use of horse-hesh was manifested In
the provinces. The usual price paid
blythe butchers for these horses amounts
to SIS to $50 each, the animals being
killed only after their period of utility
has passed, and when they are worth
little or nothing. Allowing $50 as the
increased sum realized from each an
imal In consequence of its conversion
into food, we have the food resources
of Paris alone increased by the amount
of SI03, 40. A similar estimate, based
upon the entire number of horses sold
as food in the whole of France, indi-
Gates that the food resources of the
country during 1873 will have been in
creased to the amount of $500, 900;
while the saving to the public by the
difference between the cost of horse
flesh and the more expensive kinds is,
of course, much greater.

EDGEFIELD ITEMS.

The boys are having a good deal of sport
SEEMING in the mill ponds of Edgefeld.
st. COlumbia's Church, on Main street, lis
being handsomely fenced in.
The citizens of Edgefield deserve praise
for the enterprise and energy they have
displayed this spring in repairing and i'm
proving their property. Would We could
say as much for the corporation if the facts
would warrant US. But thus far the COR
poration has done but little in the way of
public improvements, and still less toward
putting the town in good sanitary cOndi-
ton.
Last Saturday quill driver residing in
Edgefield, with a decided taste for fishing,
was gratified at catching a twelve pound
cat. This was the way Of it: After getting
his tackle all ready, he left it in the back
porch while he stopped moment to kiss
his wife and baby goodbye, and on com
ing out of the house was surprised to find
that he had bite. Twas the old family
cat that bit. She had swallowed the bait
ed hook, and madden cat has not been
seen in that vicinity for several years.
The festival to be given by the ladies of
the Tulip Street Church, in aid of the par
sOnage fund, comes off on the night of the
18th inst, at McClure's Hall, Edgefield.
No doubt it will be largely attended, as it
promises to be very pleasant affair. An
attractive programme will be presented.

COPPER IN FEATHERS.

Mr.. J. j. Monteiro had some of the
beautiful red feathers of the plain
tain eater" an African bird, chemical
" analysed, with results showing that
the pigment which gives the feathers
their color contains quantities QS oxide
Of copper corresponding to about 8 per
cent of metallic copper. These love-
ly birds" says.tke authoTf' are common
on the west coast of Africa, between
3 deg. Eand Is seconds S. lat. Over the
whole of the coast, and.for a cOnsidera-
bic distance inland, copper is found IN
great abundance as malachite, or green
carbonate. 1t Is supposed that small
particles of this copper are swallowed
by the plaintain-eater, with the gravel,
ETC., which they, in common with all
birds, consume with their food" This
theory is confirmed by another
writer, who three or four years ago
made the following analogous ,observa-
tons: He kept at that time two Aus
Jralian love-birds of the variety called
Melopsittdcus uHduIdtps, small para
keets with grass-green plumage The
birds were often allowed to fly about
the room, and it was observed that they
preferred brass fittings to any other
perch, and that they used to sit and
peck at the brass-wolk. On asking an
Australian friend as to the habits of
these birds, the author was informed
that they abound chiefly in the districts
where copper is found. He collected
seven or eight of the feathers, burnt
them, and extracted the residual ash
with nitric acid. On adding solution
of potassium ferro-cyanide to the FL
trate, distinct precipitate Of copper
ferro-cyanide formed. Probably a
green pigment, with copper as con-
stituent cement, may be extracted
from these feathers.-Galazy.

and also injuring one foot quite seriously.
