Crossing Jereey Bulls With
Grade Cows.

Concerning this subject, Thomas
Fitch of Connecticut writes as fol-
lows:-I have crossed the Jersey
bull with nearly all the known
breeds of cows-Ayrshires, Native
Shorthorns, Dutch, the Sacred and
the Devons-and it is excellent
cross with any and all breeds for
the dairy. [ have never yet found
a half blood jersey COW that did
not yield a richer quality of milk
than her dam. One popularity of
the cross is this.-Wherever the
Jersey bull serves he transmits the
rich quality ofthe milk to the grade
he gets. The thoroughbred Jersey
cows, as a rule, have small teats
and udders, small bodies and ten
der and delicate constitutions. They
are not so handy or so easily
kept as Ayrshires or natives, but
the grades have good sized teats,
and capacious udders, are hardy,
easily kept and the quantity of
milk is increased. The grade is, in
fact, worth more money to the
farmer than the pure Jersey, for
actual production and all purposes
except breeding thoroughbreds.
The great value, of Jersey stock to
the country is for dairymen, es-
pecially butter makers, who, by
crossing thoroughbred bulls upon
their common COWS of all the mixed
bloods can select the heifer calves
from their best mixers, and raise
them to take the place of the pres
ent COWS, and then again cross the
pure bull with the half-blood.
When these herds are three quar-
ter Jersey, their yield of butter will
doubtless be one third more in
quantity, or a much better quality
in color firmness and flavor, and
worth fifty percent more than at
present. Who can estimate in dol
lars and cents what may be gained
in the next few years by the farm
ers following this course, with q
slight outlay of money in thorough
bred Jersey bulls? I have bred
many thoroughbred Jerseys, and
hundreds of grades but compari-
lively few of my thoroughbreds
have given more than twelve quarts
of milk per day, and I have the
credit of breeding some of the most
celebrated mixers and butter max
ers now in this country. Some of
them have given as high as twenty
two quarts of milk, and make more
than two pounds of butter per
day measured and weighed.

That Memphis Frog.

In reference to the frog found by
Assistant Engineer Murray in the
middle of one of the paving stones
taken up from the landing, at Mem
phis, the Philadelphia Dag has the
following to say;
"A blue limestone paving block
has lain IN the streets of Memphis,
Tenn, fifteen years. It was recent
ly broken up in order to be fitted
into a new place, and 10! a little
frog hoped out and was trisky. If
Prof. Huxley will allow it, the little
frog may tell as loud story as Nj
agara. Tens of thousands of years
ago that little frog may have taken
a nap in the mud and got irretriev-
ably stuck; fresh deposits buried it;
and IN the lapse of ages the mud
became stone, and after more tens
of thousands of years the block was
cut out of the Ohio river quarries.
What an interesting autobiography
that frog might tell if he could
croak intelligibly and his arithmetic
were to hold out"

From the Columbia District Directory
Giles Exhausted.

Mr.. EDIToR;-I would send you
something for the DIRECTORY but,
as DR.. McFerrin said of Giles, am
exhausted"
Yes, he said it, for L heard him,
and so did many others. ! dislike
to disagree with the good brother,
who thought the DR.. greater man
than President Grant, but the facts
are against him.
President Grant after years of
terrible taxation has found it i'm
possible to exhaust Giles, and yet
DR.. McFerrin says Giles is exhaust
ed, because he got only six dollars
missionary money on a certain cir
cult. Giles exhausted! just let
the DR.. pass that way when the clio
yer fields are in bloom and the sun
kisses the June apples till they
blush to the tree tops; when the
billowy wheat fields are undulating
like seas of green. Let him 60,
when roasting ears are ripe IN 8
forest of fields; chickens are of q
good frying size, and "the preacher
has not been round for some time.
Let him count the cattle on a thou
sand hills, or the horses round the
'jockey yard" on first Monday. Let
him be on hand at hogkilling time,
when the air is vocal with the
groans of gigantic grunters and per
ishing pigs. Let him stand on one
of her grand old hills aud look
abroad upon fields white with
Southern snow, which the sun ma
lures but never melts. Giles ex-
hausted! Let him view the almost
countless cotton wagons slushing
through the mud to town during
the busy season. Let him go to
town and see the style Of building
unsurpassed outside a city. Let
him preach on Sunday and see the
folks who viii come out to hear
him! Giles exhausted 4 heatben
Chinee would live in luxury upon
the crumbs that fall from her poor
mems tablesi Giles exhausted not
yet. She has furnished three Gov
ernors, one Bishop. and confidently
calculates upon the President after
the next.
Until that time, there will be no
signs of exhaustion, but she is de
termined to have a greater man than
Grant, yea, one wh5 shall equal the
DR. himself, and if old Giles comes
out of that campaign unexhausted,
why, sir, you may safely say that
she is inezhGuSti6le. / remain,
Respectfully, SELIG.

Frozen Kindness.


This world is of kindness that
never was spoken. and that is not
much better than kindness at all.
The fuel in stove makes the room
warm, but there are great piles of
fallen trees lying among rocks and
on the top of the hills where no
body can get them; these do not
make anybody warm. You might
freeze to death for want of wood in
plain sight of these fallen trees if
you had no means Of getting the
wood home and making a fire with
it. just so in a family; love is what
makes parents and children and
brothers and sisters happy; but if
they take care never to say word
about tiff they keep it a profound
secret, as if it were a crime, they
will not be much happier than if
there was not any love among them;
the house will seem cold even in the
summer, and if you live there you
envy the poor dog when anybody
calls him "poor fellow"

skipping the Herd Points.

Boys, want to ask you how yo2l
think q conqueror would make ont,
who went through country he was
trying to subdue, and whenver ne
found fortified fort and left it
alone. Don't you think the enemy
would buzz wild there, Ike bees in
hive, end when he was well into
the heart Of the country, don't you
fancy they would awarm out and
harrass him terribly?
Just so, want you to remember,
will it be with you, if you skip over
the hard places in your lessons, and
leave them uniearned, you have left
an enemy in rear that viii not fail
to harass you, and mortify you times
without number.
"There was just little bit of my
Latin hadn't read" said q vexed
student to me, "and it was just there
that the professor had to call upon
me at examination. There were just
two or three examples ] had to pass
over, and one of those ! was asked
to do on the blackboard"
The student who is not through is
never well at his ease; he cannot for
get the skipped problems; and the
consciousness of his deficiencies
make him nervous and anxious.
Never laugh at the slow, plodding
student: the time viii surely come
when the laugh viii be turned. Il
takes time to be thorough, but 1t
more than pays. Resolve, when
you take up q new study, that you
viii 90 through with it like sue
cessful conqueror, taking every
strong point.
If the inaccurate scholars diff
culties close with his school life, it
might not be so great a matter for
his future career, but he has chained
to himself a habit that will be like
an iron ball to his heel all the rest
of his life. Whatever he does, will
be lacking somewhere. He has
learned to shirk what is hard, and
the habit will grow with years.
Now nothing we get in this life is to
be had for nothing. Success is not
thrust upon a man. If You want
any good you must work for it..
The eve that never falters and the
eye that never quails, are the trHe
elements ofvictory in the mental and
moral, as well as in the physical
world. Don't skip the hard points.

To Morrow.


Morrow is a station on the Little
Miami Road, about forty miles from
Cincinnati. A new brakeman on
the road, who did not know the
names of the stations, was ap-
preached by stranger, the other
day, while standing by his train at
the depot, who enQuired:
Does this train go to Morrow to-
day?
No, replied the brakesman, who
thought the stranger was making
game of him; it goes to-day, yester-
day, week after next.
You don't understand me, per-
sisted the stranger, I want to 90 to
Morrow.
We'll, why in the thunder don't
you wait until tomorrow, and not
come bothering around to-day2 You
can go tomorrow or any other
day you please.
Won't you answer a civil ques-
tion ciyilly? win this train go to-
day to Morrow.
Not exactly. 1t will go to-day
and come back to- morrow.
As the stranger who wanted to go
to Morrow was about to leave in
disgust, another employe, who knew
the station alluded to, came along
and gave the desired information.

A Livery American Widow.

There is great excitement in So
cial circles over the announcement
of Lord Henry Gordon LennoX's S
forthcoming marriage TO Mrs. ThOs.
Hicks, the socially famous, beauti-
ful, and wealthy widow of this city.
Her friends say they knew she
would make a good match, and her
enemies, or rivals, say they doubt
the correctness of the engagement
as reported. Mrs. Hicks has a home
at 10 West Fourteenth street, but
she oscillates between New York
and London continually. In both
cities she has given entertainments
of surprising magniticence. her
$4,000 dinner party to Lord HOugh-
ton here last season being well re
membered. Mrs. Hicks is of excel
lent family, very accomplished, and
has q cultivated taste for literature
and literary people. All the bright
stars of the literary world are on her
visiting list, and in London royal
people are never slow to accept her
invitations. Twas she who declined
to give up her rooms to the Queen
Of Holland at a London hotel unless
the Queen accepted them at her
courtesy. This the exalted lady of
the Hague declined to do. Mrs.
Hicks declined to vacate on any
terms, and so the Queen went with
out her favorite rooms and found
accommodation elsewhere. I'm
like some other wealthy widows,
Mrs. Hicks is very generous, liber-
al and lavish with her money. She
spends $4,000 annually, and the
poor get q considerable portion of
| this amount Her beauty is really
remarkable, and her toilettes, all Of
foreign manufacture, are marveis of
elegance, taste and style. Mrs.
Hicks is now in London, and the
gossips have it that she will become
the wife Of Lord LennoX in Novem-
ber.-N. T. Times.

Where Nickle Comes From.

1t may not be generally known
that the nickel deposit near the
Gap, Lancaster County, Pa, is con
sidered the largest yet discovered
in the world, and the only deposit
of the ore worked in America. The
mine is on the high dividing line
between Chester and Pequsa val
leys. Beside nickle, copper, iron.
and limestone are found in the same
locality. Nickel was dicovered
here about the year 1856, though
copper, which is taken from the
same mine, was known in this To-
eality seventy years ago. The ore
has a gray color, is very heavy, and
so hard that it is mined entirely by
blasting. After the ore has been
broken into small fragments it is
put INTO kIlns holding eighty to
ninety tons, and subjected to q heat
produced by the burning OF a
small quantity of wood and contin
ued by the expelled gas. It's then
put into a smelling furnsce and un
dergoes q treatment similar to that
of iron ore.-Rartford Post.

Wholesale Elopement.
From tho Oxford { Miss. , Clarion.l

From the report that reaches us
it appears that Mr.. D. H. Williams
of Tyro, some fifteen miles west Of
here, had in his employ two men,
N. D. Orr and Philip jackson. The
hrst was a South Carolinian. about
30 years of age; the latter an Eng
lishman, abcnt %. It seems that
Mr. Williams suspected that an un-
due intimacy existed between his
wife and the man Orr, and upon
charging her with infdelitv she
firmly denied it. To relieve his
family from the presence of the man
Orr, Mr. Williams concluded to re
move his family from Tyro to
WauPs Hill. Getting his wife's
consent to the change of residence,
he went to the latter place to pre-
pare for the family. Imagine his
surprise and feelings after an alb
sence of a day or two, when he re
turned to his wife and children, to
find that the two men and his entire
family had departed in his absence
for parts unknown. Mr.. Williams
being a man of moderate means,
was not able to pursue them at
once, but caused inquiries to be set
on foot which resulted in disclosing
the fact that they had gone to
Holmes county. Mr.. Williams then
proceeded to Lexington, where he
found Orr, jackson, his wife, and
step-daughter. jackson and Mrs.
Williams were living as man and
wife under the name Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Margetts. Mr.. Williams had
the two men Margetts for
unlawful cohabitation with the
mother, and Orr for the seduction
of the daughter, who is only about
IA years of age. Margetts was tried,
convicted and sentenced to five
months Imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail. 1t appears that, as far as
the wife is concerned, Williams
suspicious pointed to the wrong
man. The charge against Orr was
for want Of sufficient evi
dence.

Many country ladies are bringing
in yarn socks, ljnsey, jeans and 9th
er articles of home manufacture.
We hope they get good prices for
these articles, as such home indus
try should be well encouraged. Our
thoughtful, busy and industrious
farmers wives are women that any
country should be proud of. Many
Of them may be plain and homely,
and know little or nothing about
the world of fashion and eXtrava-
gance, but they are possessed Of all
those cardinal and sterling virtues
which make wOmanly women, and
which at last are the foundation of
a cOuntry's glory. Who does not
remember with affection and pride
the good old mothers and grand
mothers whose hands in the days
agone, were ever busy in adding to
the comforts of home, and whose
chief delight was to make the little
world around them happy? We see
many women to-day, who like those
we have mentioned, bow at no
shrine but that of their Maker, and
who know no fashion but the good
old fashion of doing good. In their
primitive plainness and simplicity
theyare sometimes the objects of rid
icule by the thOughtless and sense
less, but they are nevertheless the
peers of any queen of fashion who
graces the ball room or boudoir.
Their lives are lives of usefulness,
and this would be a sorry world
without them.-Murtrees5OrO NeeOs.

Settling a KnOtty Account.

A merchant once had dispute
with a Quaker respecting the settle
ment of an account. The merchant
was determined to bring the matter
into court, a proceeding which the
Quaker very earnestly deprecated,
using every argument in his power
to convince him of his errorj but
he was infexible. DESTROYS TO make
last effort, the Quaker called at
his house one morning, and inquir-
cd Of the servant if his master was
at home. The merchant hearing
the inquiry and knowing the voice,
called out from the top of the stairs:
Tell the rascal I am not at home"
The Quaker, quietly looking up at
him, calmly said, 'Well, friend, the
Lord put you in a better mind"
The merchant, afterwards struck
with the meekness Of the reply, and
having more deliberately investiga
ted the matter, became convinced
that the Quaker was right and him
self wrong. He requested to see
him, and after acknowledging his
error, he said, Il have one question
to ask yOu-how were You able,
with such patience. on Yariohs oc-
casions to hear my abuse?-
Friend" replied tue Quaker, q
will tell thee. 1 was naturally as
hot and violent as thou art. I knew
that to indulge that temper was
sinful, and also found it was un-
profitable. l observed that men in
passion always speak loud; and
L thouht that if I could control my
voice, l should repress my passion.
1 have, therefore, made it it rule
never to let my voice rise above a
certain key, and by a careful OBJ
servance of this rule I have, by the
blessing of God, entirely mastered
my natural tongue"
Such good, frank philosophy was
not lost upon the merchant in many
yea-s.
