President LincoIn's widow.

The sympathy OF the nation which has
been too grudgingly given to the widow
of A braham Lincoln, will certainly no
longer be with held now that court OF
Justice has declared her bcreft OF reason.
1t has long been known to nearest to.her
that her mind never entirely recovered
from the shock of the Presidents assina-
ton. 1t would have been brain of ex-
traordinary force which could have with
stood that night of horrors. Her hus-
band, to whom, in spite Of all gossip to
the contrary, she was devotedly attached,
was shot down at her side in perfect
health and strength Her dress was
stained with his blood. She passed the
long hours of his agony at his bedside,
refusing to believe the sentence of his
surgeons, and in the morning, when all
was over, she confronted loss such as
had been experienced by few women.
For the next few weeks it was, doubtful
whether she would ever emerge from the
shadow cf death on which she lay. But
everything she did or said in that delir-
ium of despair was wickedly and shame
fully used against her afterward.
1t was the duty of the country, out of
regard to its own honor and dignity, to
provide for her future This Congress
for years refused to do. Not cent was
raised for the purpose by public subScrip-
ton. When ut last Mr.. Sumner forced
bill through Congress giving her the pit
iful pension Of $1,000, 1t only passed after
malicious and scurrilous opposition in
the course of which her enemies quoted
every utterance and act which had pro-
cecded, after her troubles, from her disor-
dcr"d brain. She was entitled TO the gem
tlcst and most tender consideration from
every decent man. But she was attack
cd by Congressman and vilifed by pOr-
tlon OF the press, as if she had been an
able-boded politician, counting votes and
criticism. There is no doubt that this
treatment hud It's effect in preventing her
recovery from the great shook which had
shattered her life The death Of her young
boy. whom she idolizcd, filed up the
measure of her SORROWS, aud finished the
wreck of her intellectual faculties. As
long as it was possible, her son, the wOr-
thy inhcritor of his fathers character,
bore with touching patience and devo-
ton the consequence Of this misfortune.
But il became evident at last that TO pre-
vent worse disasters the unfortunate lady
must be put under restraint, and the pro-
cccdingS in court were taken, with which
our readers are familiar. The attempt
upon her own life the next day was a ter
rible confirmation of the justice of the
decree of the Court ". y. Tribune.

Attorney Cows.

Aldcrncv is well known for the breed
of COWS whlch bears its name. These
are 50 called probably because the first
ones exported were from that island,
although now very few that are sold is
Attorney Cows are directly from there.
Those of that breed actually exported
from these islands are generally from
jersey, where the cattle arc much the
same us those Of Aldcrney, small with
tapcring heads, and of Il delicate fawn
color. The Guernsey COW is esteemed by
some even more highly than Aldcrncy,
it i, rather larger aud more of It red
brindlc in color. The cows are MIXED
three times daily, and the milk is
churned without skimming; one pound
of butter day is by no means an un-
common Yield for COW. The COW cab
bu.c is made to reach size 30 large that
the leaves are used TO wrap the butter in
for market, while the stalks are yarnish
ed and armed with ferrulcs and extern
sivrlv used at 81. Hcller'S Tor canes.
The cows are very carefully cOddIed.
The grass they feed on is highly enriched

cred from the reef at low tide. There
are two vrnic harvcsts appointed by the
Government, one IN the spring, the 9TH
cr in August, although it is gathered at
other time, in small quantities. All
hands turn out in the season with boats
and carts, frequently at night, and it is
very lively, picturesque occupation,
though often attended with risk and
loss Of life from the overlooking of boats
or sudden rising of the tide. The cows
are always tethercd when feeding; they
eat less in this way, really giving more
milk than if gluttcd with food, and
while they are cropping the grass on one
one side OF field, it has time to spring
up on the other side. When they have
done eating they are at onceremoved from
the sun into the shade. The breed is
preserved from intermiXture with other
breeds by strong and arbitrary laws
very carefully enforced. No cattle are
allowed to enter the islands except for
slaughter within certain number of
days, with the exception of oxen for
drau~ht.

Oh Strcw their graves with roses sweet,

Whose boy did wear the gray.
Death Is the great equalizer,

This bright memorial day,
And Strcw sweet roses on IN" blue,
And lilies on the gray.

Editors OF the Register:
Not seeing anything in your valuable
paper from this part of the moral vim
ward, will say something for all Jack
son, which you may insert in the REGIS
TER, if YOU think it worth publishing.
First, will say that Jackson county
lays its full length on the Ohio river.
She is blessed with other water courses
two Of the largest are Big Sand creek,
and Mill creek, which run through jack
son and empty into the Ohio river. Inc
above named creeks have SPLENDID crop
Of valuable timber which can be rated
into the Ohio river.
Bottom lands here are very produc-
tive. Our hills are splendid for wheat,
clover, pasture or grazing, and orchards.
All the orchards are almost an entire
failure this season. We have but little
blue grass, which think would do well
here. Our county needs more grass and
not so much blowing. Wild lands are
plenty and cheap.
We have good Touring and WOODEN
manufactures.
The Grange movement l. making
wide stride in Jackson. 1t was thought
by some of our people that some of our
merchants would howl themselves to
death on account of the farmers Organi-
cation, but we think they will live if
some OF them will take the pillow handle
and act farmer awhile, till they can see
the necessity of such an organization.
We don't Sc why the merchants of this
county should berate and abuse the
farmers for trying to protect themselves.
They have employed and paid the mer-
chants their own per cent for long
tine. New, if the farmers can do with
out so many merchants, why not.

 Recreation is all very good in it's way, and in fact is quite necessary to those who are confined in store nearly all of the time, and riding down hill is usually con sidered very good pastime in It's season, but when people get so anxious for ride as to undertake to ride down on huge pile of coal, as one of our merchants did the other day, we think that they may be con- sidered as rushing matters little too fast and quite out of season.. The Baptist Association of this district will be held at the Baptist church Tn this place this week, commencing on Wednesday at 3 p. m. Preparations have been made for the enter tainment of all who can make itconYenient to come, and it is hoped that there will be large number in attendance.....We had quite a runaway here last Tuesday.

A DESIGNATION OF THE SAvIoUR.-The following is from Fosters Encyclopedia of Illustrations The following is a cor rect translation of an epistle sent by Pub lus Lentalus to the Roman senate:
 There appeared in these days man of great virtue named Jesus Christ, who is yet among us; of the Gentiles accepted for a prophet of truth but His disciples call Him the Son of God. He raiseth the dead and cureth all manner of diseases. A man of stature somewhat tall and comedy, with . very reverend countenance such as the beholder must both love and fear. His hair the color of chestnut full ripe to the ears, whence downward it is more orient, curling and waving about His shoulders. In the midst of His forehead is stream or parti- ton of his hair, after the manner of the Nazarites forehead plain and very deli. cate; His face without spot or wrinkle, beautiful, with lovely red; His nose and mouth so forked as nothing can be repre- sented; His beard thick, in color like His hair, not over long His look innocent and mature; His eyes gray, quick and clear. In reproving He is terrible; in admonish- Ing courteous and fair-spoken; pleasant in conversation, mixed with gravity. It can not be remembered that any have seen Him laugh, but many have seen him weep; in proportion of body most excellent; His hands and arms most delcctable to behold in speaking, very temperate. modest and wise; man of singular beauty, surpasslng the children of men.
