L1cK's revocation Of his magnihcen: t1ust-deed,
and reciting tho circumstances which induced
the reconsideration Of his intention, have Just
como to hand Mr. LICK says shs deed ras axe
cuted hastily and under the influence Of mental
depression, caused BY failing health and appre-
hension OF spaedy departure from this Life. he
now desires to make suit.ble provisions for par
sons having natural claims On him. This is sub
stantia1ly the statement made BY telegraph aay-
iication Of it in the instrument actually re-
corded by Mr. LICK, but are unable to
do 30. The truth sppears to be that
Mr. LICE thought he vas going to
die, and, not being ablo to carry away his
money with him, and having, perhaps, some sins
that especially required absolution, ho sought to
make his peace with Heaven sud preserve for
himself place in the memory OF postarity. But
instead Of dying, he recovered his health. Ho
then found his property in the hands OF T1us-
tees. who managed 1t without consulting his
uishca o. prejudices. Hi. LICK soon became
jealous Of the Trustees, requested tha most act
ire Of them to reign, and attempted to govern
the remainder. He was finally driven into .
course Of decided opposition to them, which has
ended in this attempt at revocation. In order
to complete understanding Of tho fac:s it h
necessary to know, in tho arst place, that the
original trust was conferred in two deeds 1naia
aix weeks apart and secondly, that tho leEah-
ty OF the deed Of revocation IN doubtful, aod
will bo st1enuous1y contested in tho courts. Thu
common opinion among the people, Eass and
West, will be that Mr. LICE has been doubly
unfortunate, first, in deciding his property Away,
and next IN Hyiug to Ret il back

TOM REYNOLDS LEG.
sherman Recites the story of the Jolly
COlonels Imported Member.

Hard as the life Of a soldier always
is in active campaigns, says the
Madison Democrat, it is also well
known TO all those who took part
in the great campaigns Of the rebel
lion, that even the weary soldier had
bis jokes; and the incidents and sur
rounding circumstances often caused
the righteousness of the soldiers joke
to sink deeper into the memory, and
be retained in recollection longer
than the memory of the saddest
scenes Of carnage. OF al the speci-
mems of soldiers wit Of which we
ever heard read or Witnessed, there
is none, certainly, superior, if there
is one equal o the following, taken
from the second volume Of Gen.
Sherman's Memoirs, Of which The
United States Pension Agent, at
Madison, is he perpetrator. In dcs-
cribing the assault on Loggett's Hill,
Gen. Sherman says:
It was in carrying this hin that Gen. Grcsh-
am, great lavoritc, vas badly wounded; and
there, also, Col Tom Reynolds, now Of Madison
Wis, was shot through the leg When the sur
goons were discussing the propriety Of amputa-
ting it in his hearing, he begged them to spare
the leg, as it was very valuable, being an "im-
ported leg" lie is of Irish birth, and this
well-timcd piece Of wit saved his leg, for tht
surgeons thought il he could perpetrate joke
at such time, they woald trust to his vitality
to save his limb.
And the surgeons were right, Col
Reynolds is hale and hearty yet here
in Madison. and that pecnliar temper
mena which enabled him to perpe'
trate such a specimen Of Wit under
such trying circumstances could dc
more than all the remedies known 10

Valuable Milling Invention.

Mr.. E. II. Gratiot, of Platteville,
brothel~in-law of Minister ashburn,
has invented a valuable contrivance
for steaming and drying wheat, which
is pronounced bv Mr. J. Ii. Walsh, of
the Eagle mills, as well as by other
practical men at the business, to be
one of the best improvements known
to milling, and one which is certain
to be brought into general use
throughout the United State and Eu-
rope. The invention Of Mr.. Gratot
consists of spiral tubes, ENORMOUSLY
arranged, through which, when heat
ed, the wheat is run for the purpose
of drying; while by SIMPLE process
the wheat may be run through the
coils and steamed, when necessary.
by the use of this valuable patent the
flour may be made finer and whittier,
and the bran toughened SO that it can.
not be cut up and mixed with the
flour. Itwas exhibited at tie Milers'
Convention recently held in ST. Louis,
and was heartily recommended by
every member present, and a large
number of orders taken for duplicates
of the patent. A Company has beer
organized in Chicago for the purpose
OF manufacturing and introducing the
Gratiot patent. - Gatena Gazette

Profits of Sheep Raising in Nebraska

The farmer who settles on the fer
tile prairies of Nebraska, should make
'live-stock' a watchword A CORES
pondent in that State sends us the
following encouraging "showing,"
made by Mr.. Myers, Of Gage county,
a sheep farmer, who has been four
years in Nebraska. Gage county is
in the southern portion of the State;
and branch of the Burlington 81
Missouri River Railroad runs through
it. The land is good, and the natural
grasses sweet and nutritivc, but it is
no more than a fair average Of Ne
braska, south Of the Platte.
Mr.. Myers thus Figures the prob
lem of sheep farming in Nebraska,
with a flock of 900 head 100 tons
of hay, costing SO per ton for put
tsng up, $500; 500 bushels Of oats,
800; strengthening for 8 months, $50;
wages for one man for months, 500;
do. one month, $50; washing and
shearing and packing wool, 5000; salt,
$50; shedding for winter, $50; losses
at two per cent, $40; total, $l,o35.
By $500 lbs. of wool, at 40 cents per
h., 81, 800; 400 lambs, at $3.50, $1,000;
total, $4,000.
Mr.. Myers considers his allowance
for expenses very liberal. He charges
hay at too high figure, and the per-
centage of loss is not generally so
large as stated. as sheep are subject
to no disease whatever on the Ne.
braska prairie. One man could also
take charge Of flock Of thousand
during the summer months; and, in
winter, one boy could feed them, as it
is best to let the sheep run to the hay
all the tune, and the oats are to be
fed in the sheaf Mr.. Myers further
claims that if farmer will do most Of
his work himself, hiring help only
when it is necessarY-for harvesting
hay, shearing, &c. the sheep will
pay him So per head, as against
So when help is hired literally
Mr. Myers estimates his sheep to be
worth $3.50 each. On 1000 sheep,
the investment would be $500; and,
as the net profit shown above amounts
to Sl,765, the return on the invest
ment is over so per cent.

t He HERALD
Health Proverbs.

Perhaps few simple hints may
serve to aid those who are in search
of that inestimable boon, health.
Those who would have perfect di-
gestion should not drink anything at
meals. Drinking should always be
done before, after, or between meals.
Milk is especially pernicious in all
of those complicated and obscure
cases of indigestion to which the
phrase nervous debility" is usually
applied.
One of the great and increasing
evils of imperfect mastication is de-
caying teeth. 1t is law of all vital
organisms that every structure post
must do its own work or die.
Corsets are the degenerators OF
one sex as much rs tobacco and liquor
are the enemies of the other.
Ladies suffering from nervous de-
bility in Summer should beware OF
over-exercising. The fault with too
many invahds is that they overdo
when trying to recruit, and thus seri
ously retard their Improvement.
Women beautifully and happily en-
ployed are not usually in i'll health.
Hannah More wrote eleven books
after the age Of sixty. Sarah J. Hale
is now eighty-six and still editing.
The influence of Imagination on the
vital functions has always been recog-
hized, and it was this recognition that
enabled the ancient physicians to be
so successful with charms. amulets
and incantations.
Parasols except in the middle of the
day during the cheated term" are
pernicious things, as are the walls with
which SO many fashionable ladies
shade their faces.
The most prevalent error in private
houses is insufficient ventilation Of
bedrooms. Young children and in
faDts, though born with fair organiza-
tons, are often rendered puny and
scrofulous by sleeping in unventllated
rooms.
The error Of regarding dyspepsia is
as local disease instead OF cOnSti-
tutional infrmity, leads to the mis-
chevious practice Of local medication.
Dyspepsia is but name for universal
physical deterioration.
Water drinking between meals
should be according to thirst. 1t is
a mistake to load a weak stomach
with cold water, on theory that it is
a tonic. As habit it is we'll to take a
tumbler, or part of one, of pure soft
water, after dressing in the morning.
The temperature of baths should
always be regulated by the tempera-
ture Of the patient.
1t is said by those who have taken
pains to inform themselves on the
subject, that there is no country, civil
lied or savage, where bad teeth are
so generally the rule, and good ones
so rare an exception, as the United
States.
If seats were properly construed,
ersons would sit upright, for the rea-
son that it would be the most comfor-
table position.

DURATION OF LIGHTNING. \ large
flash Of lightning, distinctly seen, often
leaves upon the mind an impression
that it has lasted fully second or
more, but it is proved that such is not
the fact Its velocity is at the rate
Of l88, 900 miles per second. The du-
ration Of a flash Of lightning from
beginning to end is estimated not to
exceed the sixtieth part of a second,
though retained upon the retina so
much longer. This may be proved
during a storm on a perfectly dark
night by setting a wheel 70 work so
rapidly that in a steady light its spokes
appear to blend and become individ-
ualy invisible. 1t being dark, and
the wheel rapidly revolving as above,
when \ flash Of lightning occurs the
wheel will appear to the eye perfectly
motionless, every spoke being distinct
ly and separately visible and still. This
was first observed by Wheatstone, and
was recorded by him, in connection
with other similar experiments, as con-
elusive proof that the duration Of the
flash ID excessively brief
