Fine Lot of Cattle.

Messrs. J. A. Brakebill G. Co. shipped
yesterday from Lenoir's, on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road, two car loads of cattle, the best
lot, perhaps, ever shipped from East
Tennessee. The entire lot averaged
l,25S pounds each. They were thor
oughbred Short-horns, and We're fat
tened by the Lenoir Brothers on their
magnificent farm at the above-men-
toned point. Mr.. J. A. Brakebill left
yesterday evening for Baltimore, where
they will be sold. None of the cattle
were more than four years old, being
principally three and four years old.
If we could have enough shipments as
these from East Tennessee, we would
soon have plenty of money. Why dc
our farmers not raise more and better
cattle?

of the parties. Horton had cut the

from the effects of which he died on
Saturday morning. Our informant
does not say whether or not Surgeon

to withdraw the bile from the blood ;

sets in, with chilly sensations, and
cold hands aud feet, accompanied with

God Bless the yVOmeu!''

This phrase may be stale, but we can
think Of nothing better or more ex~
pressive, and offer no apology for using
ii. Notwithstanding our streets were
muddy all day yesterday, rain falling
and the wind blowing furiously at
times, wives, mothers and sisters were
moving from morning till night, pre-
pairing for Christmas and getting
things to make home happy this
morning. Many little stocking will
be filed with choice gifts, and thou
sands of bright eyes will sparkle this
morning in consequence of these err
rands yesterday. For weeks the little
ones have talked and dreamed of the
wonderful things Santa Claus had in
store for them, and this morning their
hopes have ripened into fruition, and
mothers are rewarded for their tolls by
the pleasure felt by the little ones. No
one knows so well how to please as
mother, wife or sister, and no one
takes so much pleasure in giving
pleasure to others. Hence we say
again, "God bless the women ~

The river is booming, almost cut of
banks, having risen in the last day OF

water mark, aud is still rising rapidly,
so that there will be a good boating
tide, and quite a number of grain

FRESHET IN THE FRENCH BROAD.
Damage to the Buncombs Railroad.

We learn that the recent heavy rains
caused quite rise III the French
Broad river and tributaries. Yester-
day two trestles in the bridge over
Big Creek and four in the Leadvale
bridge over the French Broad were
carried away. The river stopped rising
yesterday, and, we presume, will be
falling rapidly to-day. If the water
goes down, it will take only a short
time to repair damages and set the
trains to running as usual. The only
engine on the road was left east of Big
Creek by the damages to the bridges,
which will operate unfavorably in
making repairs

at least S,0O0,O00 gallons, divided about
as follows:, Sonoma, 1000, 900; Los An

and other counties not enumerated, say
i 500, ,OOO-making the total above given.
Sonoma is the largest reproducing
county in the State, having last year, Tor
the first time, exceeded the product of
Los Angeles. In the next tew years a
large number OF vines will come into

Amber.

Amber is formed by the pith (medulla,

pine species, as gum flows from the
cherry-trees and resin from pines. 1t is,
first OF all, liquid which bursts forth in
abundance; then it Is congealed by the
cold, or by the heat, or by the sea, when
>the great tides rise and sweep it from
the islands. AT all events, 1t is thrown
on the coasts, aud 1t seems to SWIM with
the waves, and not go to the bottom.
Our ancestors, thinking that it was the
sap ofthe tree, called it, on that account,
succlnum. What proves that amber is

- - :
The Egg Dance In India.

A much more pleasing performance,
and one which might perhaps better have
been mentioned In connection with the
exploits OF the jugglers, is the "egg
dances" This is not, as one might eX-
pect from the name given 1t, dance
upon these fragile objects. Ii Is exc
euted in this wise: The dancer, dressed
in corsage and very short skirt, carries a
willow wheel of moderate diameter last
ened horizontally upon the top OF her
head. Around this wheel threads are fas T.
ened, equally distant from each otuer,
and at the end of each of these threads
is a slip moose, (which is kept open by q
glass bead. Thus equipped, the young
girl comes toward the spectators with
basket full of eggs, which she passes
around for inspection to prove that they
are real and not limitations. The music
strikes up jerky, monotonous strain,
and the dancer begins to Whirl around
with great rapidity. Then, seizing an
egg, she puts it in one of the slip no0ses,
and, with QUICK motion, throws il
from her in such a way as to draw the
knot tight.
The swift turning Of the dancer pro-
duces q centrifugal force which stretches
the thread out straight like array shoot
ing from the circumference Of the circle.
Ou6 dlL6I dHObnCt buO O66S 0lC buAO6 u
out in these slip no0ses unul they make
a horizontal aureole or halo about the
dancers head. Then the dance becomes
still more rapid, SO rapid in fact that it
is difficult to distinguish the features OF
the girl; the momeiitis critical; the least
false step, the least irregularity in time,
and the eggs dash against each other.
But how can the dance be stoppedi
There is but one way--lhat is to remove
the eggs In the way in which they have
been put In place. This operation is by
far the more delicate OF the two. 1t is
necessary that the dancer, by single
motion, exact and unerring, should take
hold Of an egg, and remove 1t from the
moose. A single false motion of the
hand, the least interference with one
OF the threads, and the general arrange.
ment is suddenly broken, and the whole
performance disastrously ended.
At last all the eggs are Auccessfully
removed; the, dancer suddenly stops,
aud, without seeming in the. least diz.
zied by this dance Of twenty-five or
thirty minutes, she advances to the spec.
tators with a firm step, and presents
them the eggs, which are Immediately
broken In nat dish to prove that there
ls no trick about the performance
