500 b. The amount Of cash realized the
year previous was $3.50 or $40. One Of
the cows came in Jan. 20, 1874, and the
other Feb. Is.
Almost simultaneously with this comes
report through the Buffalo Courier that
Mr.. Oliver BruHson, of Ellery Chausauqua
County. made and sold the past season
1855 pounds of butter from sixteen cows,
or an average of 3O2 pounds TO the cow
This was exclusive OF the milk, cream, and
butter consumed by the family. His en-
tire production of butter will average him
70 cents per pound, or tribe more than
sos each cow.

justice. The main features of this scheme
are these: The re-enactncnt of the ku-
klux act OF 1871. substituting the words

of habeas corpus. and the establishment of

Shakespeare and Barnum,

In letter to the New York Times, of April
20, Mark Twain says: About three-fourths Of

cans. If you will show me an American who
has visited England and has not seen the
tomb, Barnum shall be on his track next
week. 1t was an American who reused into
its present vigorous life Englands dead in
terest in her Shakespearean remains. Think
of that Imagine the house that Shake
speare was born in being brought bodily over
here and set up on American soil That
came within an ace Of being done once. A
respectable gentleman of Stratford told me
SO. The old building was going to wreck and
ruin.
Nobody felt quite reverence enough for the
dead dramatist to repair and take care of his
house; so an American came along ever so
quietly and bought it. The deeds were &C
tually drawn and ready for the signatures.
Then the thing got wind. and there was fine
stir in England The sale was stopped.
p ublic-spirited Englishmen headed revival
of reverence for the poet, and from that day
to this every relic of Shakespeare in Stratford
has been sacred, and zealously cared for &C.
cordingly. Can you name the American who
once owned Shakespsare's birthplace for
twenty-four hours? There is but one who
could ever have conceived of such an unique
and ingenious enterprise and he is the man
