She Was Not to Be Laughed At.

The Bowling Green (Ky.) PaatagrGph
tells this story: "One of our most promi-
nent citizens moved from the country to
the city few years since, with his family
In pursuance of a custom at their country
home, husband and wife each MIXED one
of their two cows. A lady neighbor hap
pening to go over one afternoon while the
milking was going on, asked Mrs j. TO let
her try TO milk. The COW, not liking. such
familiarity from a stranger became FESTIVE,
and showed evidence of using her hind leg
in such Il manner that the visitor hastily
resigned her position, which WAS immediate
ly taken by Mrs. j.; but the COW, not aware
of the change, with one blow upturned the
milk bucket and sent Mrs. j. sprnwling on
the ground. Mr.. j. is passionately fond of
joke, and ha1 been watchig the affair
with great deal of interest while quitely
milking his COW, few feet away, and was
fairly shaking his fat sides with laughter
while Mrs, j. was shaking out the disorder
ed folds of her dress, and knowing she had
very quick temper, be was not surprised
to see her hastily seize hickory stick
But instead Of using it on the COW, she
rushed up to him and exclaimed, Jus,
laugh once more. Jus smile, even, and /
will wear you out right here, you heartcss

New Source of Sugar Supply.

1t is stated that the protracted
troubles in Cuba are stimulating the
production Of sugars in the tierrds cal
iCHtcS of Mexico. 1t is but few weeks
since the first consignment of sugar
ever made from Mexico 10 the United
States was received in this country. 1t
is said that those who best know the
capabilities of Mexico Tor this crop are
convinced that at no distant period
she will be found competing on no un-
equal terms with the West Indies for
the markets of the Union. Thus il is
that the folly Of the policy of Spain
towards Cuba is enuring TO the benefit
of other countries. IL is difficult to
understand how any government not
given over to that madness which goes
before destruction can persevere in
such course as that of Spain in her
treatment Of the Cuban revolt.

A Bear Hunt.
From the Traverse Bay Mich Eagl

From the Traverse Bay (Mich.) Eagle
One day last week Mr.. Baxter and an
other man were out fishing in boat on
Cowper Lake, and son of Mr. Baxter, Il
lad about fifteen years of age, was in an
other boat with spear The lad discover
ed what he at first took to be an otter
swimming in tho lake, and started in per-
suit. He soon discovered it to be bear of
large size. The father advised the boy to
keep away from it, but the other man ad-
vised him to go for it" which he accord
ingly did, and when near enough stuck his
spear into the bear, and placing himself in
the middle of the boat was slowly towed
toward the shore. just as he reached shoal
water where the bear could touch bottom
Mr.. Baxter and the other man came up
with the other boat For n short time they
all had lively work. They broke the pad
dies striking the bear, and at length sue
ceeded in hitting it across the nose and
partially stunning it, when they kept his
head under water with the spear until they
succeeded in drowning it, but not until It
had taken several mouthfuls of wood out of
the side Of the boat The animal weighed
900 pounds.

Early Feeding of Hogs.

No one, except he has had the eX-
perience, knows how important it is to
begin early i'm the fall to feed hogs for
market. Even if the fatting process
is intended to be kept up until late in
the winter, the feeding can be made
profitable if the hogs are young, of a
good breed and selection. Continued
profit, however, depends wholly upon
scientific knowledge and skill in the
management, for it is well known that
swine cOntitre to thrive a certain
length of time, when fed Ia the ordin-
airy way, and to feed differently the
farmer must know how by begin
ming to feed early, before the corn
hardens, this may be done without eX-
ira care, III fact, the swine may with
profit be turned into the field ifnot put
on too large portion at once. 1t is
necessary 20 lung them up to a full
feed gradualI' durin z period of two
or three week., ur'uIc giving them a
gorge of the fr,sr ears which is liable
to founder them in such a manner
that they seldom fully recover from it.
Early feeding adds flesh more rapid
ly than late, and puts on thick cover
ing of fat during the warm weather to
protect them during the colder season
of winter. The early fed corn being
soft is easily digested and assists the
fatting process wonderfully, as all
know who have tried cooked food for
stock. We have known many far
mers to delay the feeding oftheir hogs
until late in the fall, so that they
might save their corn aud hit a late
market for their pork, but we never
knew one to secure the best result in
that way.
Grass is an excellent adjunct to corn
as long as it is desirable to promote
health and muscular development.
Large and vigorous growth can be pro-
NOTED in no other way. The flesh can
be laid on in close confinement with
profit if done quickly and the hog sent
to market before a retrograde move
ment cuts of the increasing weight.
We do not advise after the animal be,
comes so burdened with flesh, as not to
be able to move with reasonable de-
gree of effort, for at this stage of exis-
tence he is usually approaching very
near the most profitable time todispose
of him.-EIchaRge

NTUKAGEE, |. IT,, Sept. 30.-One hundred

The loss by the Mediator will not be
very great after all. The cargo Is COM
posed, with the exception of some hay,
OF groceri,s of every description from
barrels of flour to boxes of matches. The
consignors number nearly 500, and the
eolsignees are equally numerous. The
largest quantity of goods shipped by any
one firm was % barrels of flour. These
goods have all been recovered, and only
very few have been damaged at all.
The ship was abandoned after her rgo
had been rescued
The captain stated that he exercised due
vigilance to avoid disaster, and blew the
fog-whistle and took soundings every few
minutes. The conduct of the officers,
however, will be made the subject of
an Investigation which will be begun in a
few days. The recovered goods will be
forwarded by another vessel of the same
line 20 their several points of destination,
after the adjuster of averages shall have
decided what are the losses in actua'
damage to goods, and proper charges for
salyages.

three years occupancy as sufficod amply to
reimburse their original outlay. On the
other hand buyers of plantation propsrty
without exception steadily sunk money
in the attempt to place themselves in a
position to complete their payments with
in the prescribed three years term. Ihey
received literally less than nothing for
their money and were finally summarily
elected from their little possessions.
Why are they not cquitably entitled to
the return of their money with interest2
Let Congress then, recognizing the fact
that reparation ls due the Army and
Navy purchasers provide,
First. That in all cases where Govern
ment has received one or more payments
on unimproved town or plantation prop
erty and has issued no complete title In
return, the money paid shall he refunded
with interest on application of the legal
claimants. -
Second. hat where valuable improve
ments have been made by occupants
upon such properly under color of legal
title. the land shall be he'd liable to
them or assigns for the acsual and ex-
isting value of such improy ements, whe. h.
er 1t pass into the possession of it's
antebellum owners by redemption or
whether 1t be finally disposed of at public
sale for account of the United States
Government.
1t is believed that these two provisions
cover the equities so far as regards the
claims Of Army and Navy pur rhasers.
Even this tardy measure of justice will
fall far short of compsnsating the losses in
time and money, directly chargeable upon
the halting and vacillatlng policy of
Government Forewarned, forearmed, but
the expectant occupants Of the laps ID lands
had NO warning of the fate in store for
them. On the contrary, they were for
years encouraged to believe that they
would have opportunity of retaining their
lands under the compact, by bidding the
market value therefor at public sale and
for years they persevered in futile efforts
to maintain a doomed industry with the
one object in view of at last getting their
titles adjusted on a firm basis. How these
patient walters one after another opped
of, disheartsued ana ruined, is now mat
ter OF history.
1t ist' be hoped that they will ere loas
receive full measure of consideration at
the hands of their Government.

FloHda papers give accounts of the

The planting of tropical fruits and the
enlargement of the area of orange culture

memorialize Congress on the subject and
MIR. Drew made chairman of the same.

amounts to many thousands, and think q

Our climate is scarcely less favorable to
tropical fruits than that of Florida, the
advantages of location ore far greater.
