A California Cow Story.

AS to COWS, courts, and claims, we
notice in California paper an amusing
paragraph describing the movements of
an inexperienced Constable in attempt
ing, under the party most interested, to
levy an attachment on a debtors milk
supplier: 1.-The COW run into q mud
hole and mired down. B. grabbed her
by the tail and yelled excitedly to the
officer to attach her quickly. How
shall [ do ita' cries the officer. why
rub it on herr yelled B. It was rubbed
on accordingly. what next? inquir-
ed the officer. why rub it on the
other side, and rub hard yelled B., in
frantic Efforts to hold the COW In the
mud by the tail. Now, hang it On her
horn then said B., stepping back to
view the process, I will show HIM
whether he will pay me or not, the orn-

A Mammoth Japanese Idol.
srondence of the New York Tribune,

Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
YOKOHAMA, December 26.-The idol
OF Dalbutz, the largest and most famous
OF the many gods of Japan, is in the
midst OF plain, once the site OF large
city Now it is only surrounded by @
thin grove Of trees, which have outl1ved
the more perishable temples and shrines
once included in these sacred grounds,
and of the city, only the small, strag
CLING village of Kamakura remains.
The approach to the statueis by broad
walk of hagstones, and almost dreaded
the moment when it would be in full
view, for fear of disappointment
with regard to it's wonders, of
| which [ had heard SO much. But a
single glance dispelled this idea, for its
grandeur and size were far beyond
what [ had pictured in my mind Dali
butz, meaning the "Great Bud dha," is
about 70 feet high, entirely of bronze,
and represents the god in his usual
state of profound repose, sitting cross
legged, the eyes closed and hands
clasped with thumb-nails meeting. It
rests upon q stone foundation, and in
front Of it, on a stone altar, are two
large bronze vases, each containing bios
SONS and leaves of the lotus, sacred
plant of the Buddhists, perfectly carved
in bronco and in front of both is the
inevitable cash-box. Climbing up the
folds of the gods garment, which form
safe footholds for some distance, we sat
down upon his immense thumbs, and
some idea may be formed of the size of
this statue from the fact that three grown
persons can sit comfortably On one
thumb, between it's end and the second
joint. This majestic idol, perfect in
its proportions and sublime in its ex
preston of an eternity of repose, was
placed In its present position many CEN
| turtles ago-so many that the exact date
OF its erection is unknown. Two wire
guarded windows are cut in the back
near the shoulders, and a door cut on
one side admits visitors. Here we found
a good-sized room with images of va
rious saints on two rough affairs, and
incense burning before them. Cut III
the woodwork of the affairs, and writ
ten in Japanese ink anywhere and
everywhere about this interior of the
statue, were innumerable names and
addresses of visitors, most of them, [
regret to say, of our own countrymen.
This name-writing propensity of Amer
leans never appeared to me more OBJ
noxious than on this occasion, when I
saw an object that has been revered by
generations of people desecrated by
the puerile vanity Of travellers.

Powerful MACHINERY.

It is now possible by the aid of by
draulic machinery to bend iron shafts
of twelve inches diameterin any requir-
ed shape. Incredible as this statement
may seem to an expert, crank shafts are
so made, instead of by slow, laborous,
and expensive methods of forging. The
bent shafts are also much better than
forged ones from the fact that the fibre
of the metal runs in one direction con
tinuously, whereas in forged ones it is
often across the line of strain.

An AnecdOte of Lincoln.
From the Rocky Mountain News.

The following anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln and how he obtained means to
stump Illinois against Stephen A.
Douglas is given by the Pittsburg
penn Commercial, which says that its
authenticity is vouched for by one Of
the parties concerned: In the year
1857 Chicago firm sued another in
Rockford, ILL.,, for an infringement on
patent barvesters. The trial was long
and tedious, costing the defendants not
less than $4,000 to defend the suit.
The case was tried in Cincinnati. After
several adjournments, and before the
last struggle, the attorney for the de-
Tense wrote his client letter, saying he
felt fully competent to try the case, but
that there were two lawyers he did not
want againt him, one of them being A.
Lincoln, of Springfield, ILL.,, and he de.
sired them to write and retain him
For one weeks services the defendant
paid Lincoln $1,000. After he was
elected President he appointed one
member of the firm United States AS
SCISSOR of the Rockford District, re-
minding him of the law suit, and stat
ing that the 81, 500 hereceiyed as his fee
was used to stump the State Of Illinois
against Stephen A. Douglas, and that
that was what elected him to the Presi-
dency Of the United States. "Had it
not been for the money you paid me, >
he said, 81 would not have been able to
have stumped the State. You will
please accept the appointment as 8
slight remuneration for aid at that
time"

Grandmamma, I'm going to be
married.
:" You, Nanny? Why, you are but g
child ?"
Annie Brighton was kneeling beside
her grandmothea's chair, and the fairy
godmother was stroking her curls with
one tremulous white hand, where the
antique jewels shone like drops of blood
and scintillating sparkles of green fire.
I'm eighteen, grandmamma.
$50 you are How time flies
Eighteen years old But who's the
happy man We see no society worthy
of ourselves, Nanny, and
"Tm sure you will like him, grand
mamma. He is coming to pay his re-
spects to you tonight. His name is
Major George Appleton. He is in the
the cavalry, and he owns house on
Madison avenue, anl-and he loves me
grandmamma."
Nanny held her black-tressed head Oh
the old lady's shoulder as she spoke the
last words.
CAL natural enough, my dear; but

"And where did you meet him:
When were you introduced?'
81 wasn't introduced at all, returned
| Nanny, with mischievous elves of flame
coming and going in her eyes. 81 was
| t1uting muslin up in Mrs. Bakers room,
when he came in on an errand; and
OH! grandmamma, you have always
thought it 50 dreadful hard to work.
But if hadn't been working, l never
should have met him. And [ love him
SO much, grandmamman
"Well, well, !" said the old lady rather
reluctantly, "things seems to be altered
from what they were when was a
girl"
"But you shall live with us always,
granny dear, and Minnie, too, and we
shall be SO happy"
And Anna Brighton's tears were tears
of perfect Joy.

[ Fain Would Go.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON.

BY LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON.
Away from carking care,
From passion and DESPAIR,
From hopes that but delude,
And blasts that are too rude
From friendships that betray,
And joys that pass away,
And love that turns to hate
In hearts left desolate,
I fain would go.
From weary days and nights,
And ghosts of lost delights
Fair phantoms of dead days,
That wander through old ways
From parting's bitter pain,
And meetings transient gain,
And death that mocks US 50
With glad LIES overthrow,
I fain would go.
To some fair land and far,
Where all my lost ones are.
Where smiles shall bloom anew,
And friendships shall be true,
Where falls no weary night,
Since God himself is light
Across the soundle ss sea
TO that far land, and free,
l fain would go.

PROGRESS,

Heavenward all things tend. For all were once
Perfect and all must be at length restored;
So God has greatly purposed Who would else

Dshonor, and be wronged without redress
Haste. then, and wheel away shattered world,
We slow revolving seasons.

FAME.

Absurd to think TO overreach the grave,
And from the wreck of names to rescue ours;
The bestc0ncerted schemes men lay for fame
Die fast away; only themselves die faster.
THE far famed sculptor, and the laureled bard,
Those bod insures Of eternal fame,
Supply their little, feeble aids in VAIN.

PIETY Is HAPPINESS.

On piety humanity is built;
And on humanity much happiness
And vet still more on piety itself;
A soul in commerce with her God in Heaven
peels not the tumults and the shocks of life,
The whirls of passion, and the strokes of
heart
Deity believed is JOY begun;
Deity adored is JOY advanced;
A Deity beloved is JOY matured;
Each branch of piety delight inspires.

TIE CoNsTANCY OF NATURE.

The minds Of men in a perpetual strife
Revolve from age to age, and find no rest;
While nature, IL unfading youth and beauty,
Obeys one everlasting law of duty;
Upon her constant bosom; ever green,
Beneath her sky of never fading blue.
Lived all the generations who have been,
And still her children find her fresh and new
And the same sun that, DER some Grecian hill
II omer behed is shining on US still!

Attorney General Pierrrpont author
lies the statement that no successor

impression Is that the successor has

of a Cabinet position To assist him,

Others hold to the conclusion that
Judge Alfonso Taft, of Ohio, can

Senator Edmunds has declined the

that he is quite indignant that Grant

N. A. Kimball, w. Fairlee. No jurors
returned from Williamstown.
The whole number of cases on the CIV
il docket for the term is 211; two GRIM
inal cases and 80 chancery cases. Tho
printed jury calender, showed SO cases
for trial. But it was apparent last night
that the docket was shakey, and that
very many on the jury calender would
not be tried. Upon the call Of the dock
ct this morning and afternoon, not q
case was ready. Geo. w. Sampson v.
Wallace and wife was set mot for the
jury" by deft. The cases of Brown and
Godfrey v. Dickinson were so set by the
deft., and Cordelia E. Cook v. Thetford,
which was expected to take several days
in trial, was set "Not for the jury" by
the deft., on the call of the docket
When that case was gone no other was
ready, and in the course of the day the
jury list of SO cases was sifted down to
10 cases, and it is very doubtful if one
sixth of those are tried.
Aldrich v. Bradford is continued on
motion of deft., and Melendy v. Brad
ford, and the two cases of Cleveland v.
Howard, are set "Not for the jury" by
defts. None of the important cases on
he docket are ready for trial.
