abode, and he rushed and snorted about
in and around his paddock in frightful
state of excitement, and had it been in
his power to get at them, he would,
doubtless, have made short work with his
new acquaintance. Notwithstanding his
fury, COomassie behaved in the most cool
and composed manner. 1t was most de-
lightful to witness the watchful and intel
ligent gaze with which this beautiful ami
NAL kept his eyes upon the frantic and
enraged rhinoceros, without exhibiting
any particular fear or alarm; and no
doubt this GOODNESS on his part assisted
greatly to quiet his two companions,
Cockney and Eastwood. 1t soon became
evident that the task would be safely and
perfectly accomplished. The camels were
soon afterward tried, and these appeared
likely, at first, to afford rather more trou-
bic than the elephant and rhinoceros.
Their long, shaggy hair, the strange
humps. and queer heads and necks,
seemed to puzzle the horses considerably;
but after a while, thy allowed them to
come near enough to smell them, and
gradually acquire more confidence, until
they would stand side by side and pass
round or between them, touching them
with their noses and becoming quite ia
miliar. 1t may appear singular, but the
horse Coomassie appeared to have wish
to examine and revisit all the animals in
the gardens; he required no urging to
bring him face to face with the lions and
tigers, Notwithstanding the excitement IN
to which the sight Of the horse caused
these animals TO fly, but CoomasSie look
ell a. them with most inquiring eye, not
appearing in the slightest degree alarmed.
THIS, then, ended the training Of three OF
the finest OF the Princes horses.-LaRd

The lancet says that the effect Of "a
low temperature on milk has been care
fully Examined by Mr.. Eugene Tisseraud,
who recently communicated his observa-
tons to the Academy Of Science. Tie
found that If cows milk is Immediately
or soon after being drawn placed in YES
sells a, various temperatures between
freezing point and &c deg Fab, and the
initial temperature is maintained for
twenly-lour or thirty-six hours; it viii be
found the nearer the temperature Of the
mix Is 70 the freezing point, the more
rapid Is the collection Of cream, the more
considerable is the quantity Of cream, the
amount Of butter Is greater, and the
skinned mills, the butter aud the cheese
are o. better quality. These facts, he
believes, may be explained by Pasteuy's
observations on iermca,S and their efec,
on the media la which they live. Il Is
probable that the refrigeration arrests the
evolution Of the living organisms which
SCI up fermentation aud binders the
changes which are due o. their growth.

YsAR-PMCEs REALIZED.
Shorthorn sales are becoming almost as
sensational as those OF thoroughbred year
inrs were short time since, aud 1t Is no
uncommon thing for an animal Of the
Bates or Book blood, each Of which
strains has It's respective admirers, and
even champions, TO be sold for price
cqul to that which n Derby winner
would have realized q few wears ago.
From comparative tables of the results Of
those sales during the past year IN Great
Britain and America, which are publish
cl in the almanac OF the Agricultural
Gazette, it appears that the total amounts
realized at these sales were almost the
same for both countries. The returns re-

THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the Presidential election
is still matter of doubt, with the chances
and probabilitier in favor of Hayes &
Wheeler We have not seen so mnch ex.
element in regard to the election for a
number of years. We had intended to
delay our paper this week in order to give
the result, bnt as there will probably be
nothing definite and reliable till the lat
ter part Of this week or the early part OF
next, we have concluded to go to press,
and if it Is decided that Hayes & Wheeler
are elected we may indulge in little fun
If Tllden & Hendricks prove to be sue
cessful we'll hang or harp on the willows,
for a season.
AS there are no farther news of the
election from headquarters, and nothing
particularly new to say on the subject
we republish the above from last week
and hope to be able to say something def
mite next week.
