MagruderS Goat.

Mrs. MAGRUDER's baby is carried out
by the nurse now, since the accident to
its carriage Magruder thought 1t would
be good idea to have tame goat to
pull the coach, and he bought one for the
purpose; but one day the goat met
another goat that differed from him in
politics or religion, or something, and
each undertook TO convince the other BY
Jamming him in the skull. Every time
Magruder's goat would rear up prepara-
tory 10 making a lunge forward, Magru-
der'S baby would lurch over backward,
and when Magruder's goat struck the
other goat the conclusion would shake
the nsalk in the baby's stomach into but
ter. And sometimes the other goat would
aim at Magruder'S goat, which would
dodge, and then the other goat would
plunge he4dfOremOst into the coach, and
mash the baby up in the most frightful
manner And in the midst of the contest
couple Of dogs Joined in, and Magru-
der's goat backed off and tilted the coach
into the gutter, and the dogs, biting
around kind of generally, would snap at
the goat and cause il TO whirl the baby
hiOuLA JUST III tIlIlC lOl iilt bltS1 uillll dl
last the goat got disheartened and sprang
through the fence, leaving the coach on
the other side, and it struggled franti-
cally to escape, while the other goat
crowded up against the baby in order to
avoid the dogs, and finally knocked the
baby out, and butted the coach to Splin-
tiers. They say the way Mrs Magruder
eyed Magruder that afternoon, when
they brought the baby home mutilated
and disheveled, was simply awful to be-
hold; but she didn't speak to him for a
week, and he had to soften her down by
buying her an ostrich feather for her
winter hat. The goat is still at large.
Anybody who wants him can have him
free of charge. Magruder doesn't recog-
nize him when he meets the animal upon
the street.-Hdr ideIer-

Grumblers and the Press.

Every journalist must have felt what the
New York Herald expresses in this paragraph
"The truth is that there is scarcely newspa-
per published from one end OF the year to the
other that will not, if critically considered,
give offense 10 somebody in the community.
The politician objects 10 the way bis speech
is reported.
The buyers of one set Of shares is offend
ed because the money column reports another
set as going up or going down. Gentlemen
who find themselves in the hands Of the
police are grieved at the license Of the press
which reports their arraignment and trial
among the police proceedings. the sympa-
thizer with France is offended at letters from
Berlin, and the believer in German unity
mourns over dispatches from Paris.
1.-The newspapers thus offends some enc,
lust as the weather-rainy to-day and sun
shiny to-morrow-is sure to annoy somebody.
The common sense view is that the newspa-
pers is the history Of yesterday written to,
day that it is the mirror of the time, and
that those who conduct it care nothing for
individuals, except to do them justice.

Seeing Six Generations.

DIR. Plot, in his Natural History of Stat
fordshire, mentions old Mary Cooper, OF
Kings Bromley, who lived to see the sixth
generation, and could have said: Rise up
daughter, and go to thy daughter, for her
daug hter's daughter hath daughter. This
was either an imitation Of or suggested by a
statement made by Zuingerus to the effect
that a noble matron of the family Of Dolbu-
rus, in the Archbishopric of Mentz, could
have thus spoken to her daughter: Daugh-
ter, bid thy daughter tell her daughter that
her daughters little daughter is crying.
Horace Walpole speaks of an ancient lady
whom he visited, one Mrs. Godfrey she had
daughter who had daughter I.ady VALID
grave), who had son QLord Waldgrave),
who had daughter Iady Harriet Beard,
who had daughter Countess Dowager OF
Powis), who had daughter LADY Clive),
who had an infant son. Horace Walpole
saw all the eight generations at different Pc
RODS of his life. The secret here was early
marriages, one after another.-AH The Year

NEW ORLEANS, OCTOBER 20. 1876.
Derivation of LOafer.

Lour or lowr and loaver, are all vulgar
terms for money, and combine two gypsy
words, the one lovo or lovey, and the other
loure, to steal The reason for the com olna-
ton or confusion is obvious. The author Of
the slang dictionary in order to explain this
word, goes as usual, to the Wallachian gyp-
sizes for what he might have learned from the
first tinker in the streets of London. shoulo
remark on the word loure that MI borrow
has shown its original identity with loot, the
Uindustani for plumber or booty. beileve
that the American word loater owes some
thing to this gypsy root as well as 70 the
German laufer (andlaufer) and Mexican ga
leofar. and for this reasons that when the
term rst began to become popular IN 1854 or
1885, I can distinctly remember that 1t meant
70 pilfer. Such, at least, is my earliest recol-
lection, and of hearing school boys ask one
another. in Jest, of their acquisitions or gifts,
"Where did you loaf that from 7" petty
pilferer was q loafer, but in very short time
all of the tribe of loungers in the sun, and
disreputable pickers-up OF unconsidered
triaes, now known as bummers, were called
loafers On this point my memory IS posi-,
tive, and call attention to it, since the WORD
in question has been the subject OF much

Veneere,i Diamonds.

The enterprising capitalists who are pecu-
niarily interested in the Keely motor will
doubtless be glad to learn of another great
discovery, which promises results certainly as
astounding as those due TO the "watery va
por." Abundant opportunities for investment
are offered. The discoverer has worked
twenty-eight years on the process, little
more than double Keely's time and, unlike
the latter colossal genius, he does mt keep the
secret to himself, or lock it in the bosoms o
q chosen few, but spreads it before an aston
ished world in this wise. Anybody can try
it for himself, and have a small Golconda in
an incredibly short period of time. We ex-
tract from gigantic advertisements in the daily
journals, the process of Producing the Pa
risian Diamonds"
"The body is of crystal, which is the hard
est and best substance that could possibly be
used for the purpose. Then, after the crystals
are cut in proper shape, they are put into a
galvanic battsry, which coats them over with
q liquid, that is made Of diamonds which
are too small to cut and the clippings and
cuttings that are taken off of diamonds dur
ing the process OF shaping them. Thus all
of the small particles of the diamonds that
have heretofore been comparatively worthless,
en- now, since this great discovery, be used
to produce diamond liquid.

A Handful ofEEay.

One handful of hay is small matter
one handful q day for six months makes
pretty large bundle; twenty handfuls IL
day for six months make quite q stack :;
if each handful weighs pound, the stack
will equal 1850 pounds. or more than II
tons-worth about S22, at $12 tom or
$1,000, at 500 ton, How many farmers
keeping twenty animals, allow each 10
waste handful or pound of hay q day
for want of little attention to the feeding
arrangements A few straws at time,
dropped here and there and trampled un-
der the feet, will soon make handful and
we have seen above what the handfus
amount to. This is small matter, says
one, but upon just such small matters de-
pend mans success or failure. One man
attends to them, and.at the end of twenty
or thirty years has competence for old
age, another neglects them, and is always
behindhand-he lives and dies short in the
pocket, and short in comfort.
A handful of hay is q large matter as
shown above. Suppose an animal in
warm stable to require 10 pounds of hay a
day to supply the waste and the growth Of
the body, and keep up the heat. A small
crack to let in stream Of cold air will nece,
state at least another pound ofhay per day
to furnish the extra internal heat required.
Even the difference between cold and
warm shed will often increase the con-
sumption of hay by two or three pounds II
day.
A single wind break or screen Of ever
greens or straw, or tight fence may save
two pounds day on each animal thus
sheltered. "a word to the wise sufficient"

honor of this nation, hope that the Exec

sentiment so atrocious, "Somebody will

when has this country becomeso dcmorali-

Couple that idea that somebody is going

Sheridan But Sheridan knew himself,

that by his experience in New Orleans that
