Gently. While cying around he saw
several figures near his onion beds
and raising his gun fired, scattering
the rogues. On Thursday last An

negro, was found confined in his
bed at his house rear the railroad
tank north of town, with three
buck shot in his body. 1t is sup

in the garden the night of the shoot

served.

TOMS MARE

Ton Sanders of Buffalo owns a little,
lazy, slow mare, that is the ridicule of
his friends. One recent evening he
and some of these friends were talking
of horses, when he astonished them by
offering TO bet hundred dollars that
he could ride his mare twenty miles in
an hour. He counted out his money
in tantalizing way, remarking that
his mare had been laughed at long
enough and he had made up his mind
TO show what she could do. 1t seemed
like robbing Tom, so they all said, to
take his bet, but he insisted, and the
stakes were put ntotrustworthy hands.
A day was chosen for the trial, and
when it came Tom led them to the
Central Railroad depot, where the
homely little mare was found aboard
baggage car Tom had ticketed her
to Rochester by express, and when the
train was ready to start he got on her
back smiling triumphantly He said
he reckoned that he could ride that
way twenty miles in an hour, unless
the time table lied Away went the
train, with the referee holding his
watch, and the three fellows who had
joinod in tho bot against the mare very
sorrowful of expression. About fiftOcn
miles had been run in about half an
hour, and Tom was grinning in antic-
ipation of easy victory, when the car
bumped over something, and he was
thrown off the mare by hastily applied
air brakes. An axle had broken, and
the train was stopped for more than an
hour. And Tom was not so ruefhl
over the loss of the stakes and the fail
ure of his trick, as he was over his
stupidity in not thinking Of taking the
mare off the car and riding the rest of
the twenty miles, as there had been
ample time to do within the hour.

OK, deer, sheep, goat, chamois and rab-
bit being the natural prey of ferocious
beasts, are endowed with the extra
stomach in which hastily to stow away

perhaps, be regarded as wise provis-

A MATTER OF IMPoRTANoE.--A cor
respondent of the New York Sun calls
the attention of all customers Of kero-
sene oil TO the pernicious and unhealthy
practice of using lamps filled with that
article with the wicks turned down.
The gas which should be consumed by
the flame, is by this means left heav-
lily in the air, while the cost Of the oil
thus saved at present prices would
scarce be one dollar year for the
lamps of a household, His attention
was called particularly to this custom
by boarding in the country where ker-
osene was the only available light. A
large family Of children were taken i'll
one night, and on going to the nursery
the mother found the room nearly suf-
located with a lamp nearly out, where
by the physician forbade the use of
lamp at night unless burned at full
head. He says he could quote many
cases one Of a young girl subject to
fits of faintness, which if not induced
were greatly increased by sleeping
in the room with the lamp almost
turned out. Besides the damage to
health, il spoils the paper and curtains,
sole the mirrors and windows, and
gives the whole house an untidy and
odor

Structure oFA oowsHoRN.

| find that over the brain of the COW,
says Buckland, a strong roof of bone is
thrown, in the shape OF an arch, so as
TO form substantial foundation for
the horns. This roof is not solid, but
is again strengthened below by series
of bony arches, that are so distributed
rs to form series of hollow chambers,
thus forming structure uniting
strength with hghtncss. The problem
now is, how to fasten the horn on each
side onto this buttress. The horn itself
must be formed of horn proper, !. C.,
hardened hair, In the rhinoceros we
find horn composed entirely OF solid
mass of what is really bunch of hair
agglutinatcd together; but this kind OF
horn would have been much too heavy
for the cows convenient use What is
TO be done? Why, hollow out the
centre of the horn, of course but stay
this will not do, because how is the
horn to be supplied with blood-vessels :
lin fact, how is il to grow? Let us
see how il is done by the Great Design
er Cut the horn right across with
saw, and you will find inside another
horn, only made of bone, II the sec
ton is made about one-third of the
way down the length of the horn, you
win be able to pick out piece of bone
in the shape of cone, on which, or
rather round which, the horn proper
has shaped itself, This bone fits the
cavity with the greatest accuracy 1t is
as light as the thinnest paper, and yet
as strong as q cone of tin. Ii is every
where perforated with holes, which in
life contained the nerves, the veins, and
arteries, and we know that COW has
all these in her horns; nerves, proved
by the fact that cows do not like their
hoinstouched and that they can scratch
fly off their hides with the tip of the
horn arteries and veins, proved by the
fact that horn, when broken, will
bleed, and that the horn Of a living COW
feels quite warm when held in the hand,
besides which the nerves and arteries
form union between the internal core
of bone and the external covering of
horn proper. ff ..af
y If we now cut the rest Of the horn
into sections, we shall find that the in
side Of tho bony part is really hollow,
but that very strong buttresses of bone
are thrown (about every inch or SOY
across the cavity of the horn in such
a manner as TO give it the greatest
possible support and strength. ] have
cut n cows horn and skull into several
sections to show these buttresscs of
bone, and now that the preparation is
finished, have another specimen to
show that there is design and beauty
in all created objects. 20 n' II

TAKING UP A COLLECTION.

The Rev. Brother Johnston is quite
a noted Methodist preacher of the Col
ored Church in Texas. A short time
since there was a union religious re-
yival in Chambers countyamong the col
orcd population, and at n meeting at
Double Cayon, Brother Rivers said he
thought it his duty TO remind the con-
grcgation that the servant was worthy
of his hire, and though he was a mem
Der of the Baptist Church, he felt il his
duty to say TO his friends that Brother
Johnson had worked hard in the good
cause, and though he belonged to an
other church, the brothers should give
according to their means toward the
support Of the reverend brother He
then took his scat. Brother johnson
rose and said: '1 feels highly compli-
Gated at thcremarks of the dear brother,
and will say to you all, sisters and
brothers, brothers and sisters, ] bless
the Lord that works in this field yet,
dis mortal body must have things of
dis world TO live on know none of
you have much money, but you have
taters, turnips, and things of dis kind
that will help Brother Johnson's NOR
tai body, and ifyou will just speak right
out, and say what each one can give,
Brother Johnson will just know what
to come after, and how big a cart TO
bring along" The collection was made
up by some giving corn, some potatoes,
some turnips, all calling out from their
seats what they would give. Brother
Johnson seemed pleased at the amount
given, as far as il went. "Now, brothers
and sisters, you have given literally
wild the tongue, but don't think il is
going to end there, for / is coming
down here wild a big OK wagon and 60
ing around to each one of you wild this
paper in my hand, and will expect you
to come out and help Brother johnson
to put these two bushels, and these
three bushels, and these FIVE bushels,
and these seven bushels, and all these
bushels, into dat OK wagon, and there
will still be room for more, as / is go
ing TO bring n big wagon. Now, can't
] hear some one say dey will give
Brother johnson hog, or some little
pigs, If they can't spare hog?" This
caused quite a litter among the brothers
and sisters, and quite discussion
among them who should bring the hog
At last one brother said: Brother
Johnson '1's got some hogs down on
de marsh, but if you can 60 down dare
and catch one, and put him in your
cart you can have him. Brother John
son said; "Dat is all right, brother (;
dat IS sufficient. Just let Brother
johnson see dem hogs, and he gets de
biggest one out of dat gang into his OK
wagon before you can say Jack Rob
inson. We will close dis part of de
business and go to praying"
