in Great Britain yielded a total Of e22S,.
OSs les, Cd, and fifty-seven sales in
America amounted to g2O4, 100 6s. 1Od
each Of the American sales amounted
upon an average to 1883, as against
e3, 500 for each Of the English sales, but
the average does not III reality remain
with American breeders, for, though eight
fewer sales were held there, the number
of animals disposed of we're within ten
of those sold at home. The 1859 short
horns sold in America averaged G79 each,
and the 1859 sold in Great Britain eS7
each. The largest total realized at any
one sale was s42,0l9 16s., for which "a
animals, belonging to the late Mr.. TORI,
a Lincolnshire farmer, were disposed of
in September. The highest price given
at this sale was 2,1GO guineas, and the
average for the whole lot was G510
19s. Still more remarkable was a sale
held in Scotland week previously,
when thirty-nine animals. the property
Of Lord Dunmore, fetched e26,233 los.
This gives an average Of e672 IS. for
each animal, one of which went for
4, 900 guineas. At a third sale, thirty
four animals fetched more than 10000,
and several others took place at which
the total was over $1,000, and the aver
age over G200 The most successful sale
held in America was that at which eighty
three shorthorns fetched ELS, 534 los. 3D.,
with an average of 1902 19s. Sd. for the
whole number, one of them reaching
3,225. At two other sales in America
totals of rather more than 10000 were
obtained for thirty.fve and for thirty
three lots, the average in the two cases
being slightly over and under 1900.
These figures may be left to speak for
themselves, but it is impossible to avoid
the suspicion that purchasers will not,
in the long run, get the best of the bar
gain.-PGU Nall Gazette.

THE SUNSHINE OF SICKNESS.

Severe illness is a great teacher. 1t
comes unbidden and unweIcome. Its
stay is often prolonged, as if it were
not an unsolicited visitor. At first we
feel impatient, and submit with a very
bad grace to the enforced confinement !;
we think that business cannot be neg
lected; that people must be seen; that
not one of numerous things can go on
we'll without us. But this original i'm
preston soon wears away. We perceive
that the great machinery of the world
moves steadily on without our help, and
even without so much as noting our abb
senee. Our anxiety about many matters
steadily diminishes, until, after awhile,
we wonder at the intensity of the inter
est which we once felt in subjects which
we have GENE to regard as OF very little
Importance. We grow philosophical.
The days seem longer, because we have
attained aealm, patient, reflective mood;
but they also have become pleasanter.
Pain, if we suffer it, we have become ac-
customed to; and maybe we feel a new
veneration for science on account of the
relief which medical knowledge has af-
6arded us. If the morning lowers, we
eOnfine our thoughts within doors, where
all is cheerful. 1t is the sunshine which,
on bright afternoon, streams into the
windows of the still sick chamber, which
awakens the greatest flood of reflections.
We go back to our childhood and school
days. We think of those whom, per-
chance, we have not thought of for years
before. But how fresh and distinct is our
remembrance of them now! When we
proceed to reflect what hiss become of
them, and where they are now, our
thoughts wander over many lands, but
they rest mostly upon the chUrchyards.
1t is to those that, one after another-it
seems, as we summon them in memory,
as if it were nearly all--of our youthful
companions are gone. And yet it seems
but yesterday that we were playmates
together. We become sensible that, in
reality, human life is indeed but mere
span.

CONsUMPEIvEs, TAKE NOTECE--Every moment
OF delay makes your case more hopeless, and much
depends en- the iudieioGs choice of remedy. The
amount OF testimony in favor Of Dr.. Schenek's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for Consumption, far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the pretensons Of
any other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Almanac,
containing the certificates Of many persons Of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced ineurable by Physi
clans Of acknowledged ability. sebenck's PulmOnic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; bat the cure is often Premoted by the EN-
ploymeRt Of two other remedies which DR.. Sehenck
provides for the purpose These additional remedies
are se4enek's Sea Weed Tonic aud Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use Of these medicines, according to
directions Dr. SeheRek certiBes that most any ease
Of consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenek Is professionally at his principal Of
fee corner Sixth and Arch sts, Philadelphia, every

More Hog and Hon,tnu.

There is no use talking aboutit, there
is not an intelligent farmer in the south
who does not know that it is to his in
terest, as well as to the interest of this
country, to plant sparingly Of cotton the
present year. The ruinOus consequences
of over-production have been preached
to him for the last ten years, yet, in the
blindness of his zeal, he has followed the
promptings of his own unyielding will,
and he stands to-day confronted by them
with no power to escape, the victim of
his errors. Had the lesson of the past
been needed, the country would have
prospered !; progress in every material in-
terest would have marked the feeting
years, and instead of embarrassment and
debt, the condition Of the people would
be far more solvent and hopeful than it
is. But their condition, bad as it is, is
not yet hopeless. IF farmers will but do
as well as they know how, impelled by
the necessities of the times and profting
by the bitter experience of the past, they
will arise, and taking a new departure
will inaugurate those much-needed re-
forms, which will bring back to them
their lOng-lost prosperity. Unity of pur-
pose and cooperation in efforts to Pursue
the better way, is all that is needed to
secure success. Less cotton, and plenty
of "hog and hominy" should be the
motto of the southern farmer.

able, offensive affections in the catalogue of

there is disagTeeable sensation of pressure

there is discharge having an offensive OdOr.

MN no Young Men Leave ne Farm ?

Why no Young Hen Leave the t01nt
We have answers without number,
complaints without end, warnings innu-
merable not to do so, but still this exc.
dus goes on. The abstract argument is
largely on the side of the deprecators.
Country life, though by no means what
it might be. is more wholesome physically.
morally end mentally than that oftowns.
Farm life, however dull and dreary its
drudgery, can be, and generally is, more
independent than any commercial, or
than most mechanical pursuits.
What must we do? If we would retain
our young men in the simpler, more
healthful and better life of the country,
we must not only make our farm houses
more pleasant and attractive, as many
have already insisted, but we must place
our calling on paying basis. We must
follow out earnestly the plans begun by
our Patrons of Husbandry. We must
educate ourselves. Wcmust know more
to read, write and cipher. We
must know our relations to the world as
great producers and consumers, and un-
derstand the cost Of our products and the
cost of the products Of those with whom
we exchange. w. C. FIaqg.

CUTTING GLASS WITHOUT Ola
lfoND.-An easy method Of breaking
glass to any required form is by making
a notch, by means Of file, on the edge
Of piece Of glass; then make the end Of
arod Of iron redhot in the FIRE, apply the
hot iron to the notch, and draw it slowly
along the surface Of the glass, in any d.
rection you please a crack will be made
following the direction of the iron.
Round glass bottles and TASKS may be
cut in the middle by wrapping around
them a worsted thread dipped in spir-
its Of turpentine, and setting it on FIRE
when fastened on the glass. This pro
cess is familiar to old campaigners, with
whom glass bottles are more plentiful
than tumblers, and the former is thus
utilized to supply a want Of the latter.

Pedigree CAGE.

Shorthorn sales are becoming almost
as sensational as those Of thoroughbred
yearlings were short time since, and it
is no uncommon thing for an animal of
the Bates or Brook blood, each of which
strains has its respective admirers and
even champions, to be sold for price
equal to that which Derby winner
would have realized few years ago.
From comparative tables of the results
of those sales during the past year in
Great Britain and America, which are
published in the almanac of the AgricuI-
tural Gazette, it appears that the total
amounts realized at these sales were al
most the sanne for both countries. The
returns refer only to the sales Of pedi-
gree shorthorns," that is to say, Of ami
mails inscribed in the Herd book"
which is for gcattle what the "Stud
book is for the turf, and from them we
learn that, while the sixty.tive sales held

THE THIRD NAPOLEON IN ExuE.-A
correspondent of the Liverpool Daily
Post tells a story of the late Emperor
Napoleon which looks true-it is so
strangely Characteristic of him. 1t was
his chief amusement during his last ill
ness TO muse over collection of the car
features of himself which had been pub
lished during his reign and after his fall.
The writer thinks he was so miserable
that he found pleasure only in nursing
his sorrow but there is another explain
alton possible. The emperor, who had
lived much with artists, knew that car
ioaturists, If numerous, rarely fail to
catch a mans inner weakness, and was
studying the collection to discover the
quality in himself which he ought, in
the interest of his dynasty, to have sup
pressed, Unfortunately his first defects
were such as no caricaturist catches.
Neither Cham nor Tenniel could show
that Napoleon disliked metal ability,
and enjoyed before all indulgencies the
meditative inertia which the Arabs call

How to Dry Flowers With Sand.

q The Floral Cabinet says: There are
many of our brilliant flowers such as
dahlias, pansies, pinks, geraniuins, sweet
Williams, carnations, gladioius, which may
be preserved SO as to retain their color for
years. White flowers will not answer for
this purpose; nor any succulent plant as
thyacinthe or eactus. Take deep dishes, or
those of sufficient depth to allow the flow
ers TO be covered an inch deep with sand
Get the common white sand, such as is
used FOR securing purposes, covert the bot
tom with a layer half an inch deep, and
then lay in the flowers, with their stems
downward, holding them firmly in place
while you sprinkle mura sand over them,
until an places between the petels ara
filed and the flowers buried out of sight.
a broad dish will accommodate quite a
large number. Allow sufficient sand be-
tween. Set the dish in . dry, warm place,
and at ths end OF . week pour of the sand
and examine them. IF there il any nois-
ture in the sandit must be dried out beEore
using again, or fresh sand may be poured
over them the same as before.

The Triunphs Of Surgery.

For the first time since 184o galvano
cautery battery was used in New Biuns1
wick yesterday, In the partial removal of
the cancerous growth with which the emouth

of the malignant mass, that cannot weigh
less thana pound, and is as large as good

means of a wire, in the form of a loor.
worked by D thumbscrew, and hea.ed by
the battery to white heat, SO that the
blood vessels were icauterized as soon as
they were cut, and hardly an ounce of blood
was lost. The patient endured the opera
tion without the aid of anmsthetics, The
operator was DR.. Rice, Of New Brunswick,
who was assisted by DR.. Budd, house sur
