Harriet Martineau to the Last.

Mr.. NJ. D. Conway has the following
about the last hours Of Mics Martineau,
in letter from London to the Cincin-
natl Commercial: 81 have recently
heard from q friend who visited Harriet
Martineau in her last days that the VEN
cradle authoress was quite resolute in
her philosophical opinions to the end.
She had just been shown letter asking
il she believed in Immortality and she
replied: Il have no reason to believe in
another world. l have had enough OF
life in one, and can see no good reason
why Harriet Martineau should be per-
petuated.' She never had the slightest
belief in spiritualism, but was believer
in magnetism and psychic force, and she
continued her correspondence with Mr..
Atkinson. This gentleman has sent the
more important Of his letters from her
to Mrs. Chapman, Of Boston, United
States, who will write q biography Of
Miss Msrtineau. The old lady had not
gone out beyond her garden for seven
teen years when she died. She was al
ways cheerful, read the magazines and
newspapers diligently, and talked much
OF her old friends"

alt Is impossible to say how much mis-
chief has been done by the absurd &C.

Whatever may have been the practice
in the past, such notions as that the
drinking Of SO many bottles of beer or
stout per evening will give voice are as
obsole e, am happy to say, as is the
idea that no man is hospitable gentle

all alcoholic stimulants are detrimental.

WOonsocket (R. II Patriot, August l4th.I
Early on Friday morning Mr.. Hall, a
butcher, Of franklin, Massachusetts,
went into his ice-chest to inspect the
premises, when the door accidentally
swung back, operating the spring-loek,
and the man was a prisoner in very
small room of icy temperature, and
without means OF escape. A Speedy and
5rightful death stared him in the face.
He shouted and thumped upon what
promised to be his coffin, but all in vain.
Now comes the marvellous part Of the
circumstances. When Mr. Halps son
arose on that morning he was deeply de-
pressed with dream which he had dug
ing the previous night. He dreamed
that his father had been caught and suf-
located in the ice-chest! Not finding
his father on inquiring for him, the son
at once proceeded to the ice chest and
found it locked. On opening it the ap.
parently dead body of his father was
discovered and rescued. So near death
had the unfortunate prisoner come that
it was hours before he came to state OF
consciousness, and is still in an en-
feebled condition. To those ourselves
among the number) who have no faith
in dreams and visions, it may be difficult
to account for the connection between
the sons dream and the fathers acct

the first number of the Ronaanlliu. under
the auspices OF the Brstianos and Coles

their revolutionary proceedings in 1848

ever-growiDg middle class which hiss
gradually well-nigh extinguished the
Bayards, who have failed to understand
the principles Of their opponents, that
union is strength. Mr.. Roeetti sails IN

newspaper according to the French re-
publican calendar. Mr.. Rosetti is now
the president of the chamber of deputies,
and it may be taken for granted that
the RoD1oRu'u represents the principles
of 6 government brought into power by
the organization Of his party. This
newspaper breaches the destruction of
every institution and the persecution of

HOW 1T WAS RECEIVED.

The letter Of Governor Harris, pub
Iished in the APPEAL yesterday, was
the theme Of general discussion. All
united In commenting its fine taste and
the lofty patriotism which pervaded
every line. The letter has no doubt had
the effect of attaching his old friends
more closely and making him new ones
through that sympathetic indignation
which wrong and injustice naturally
provoke. The letter has done much to-
ward correcting popular misapprehen-
slons. Like every prominent rebel,
Governor Harris accepts the results Of
the war as unaltersble, and recognizes
them as the fixed basis Of the future. He
concurs with the united voice Of the
south in accepting all that was decided
by the results of the war, and has not
the remotest expectation or desire of
disturbing them. He fully appreciates
the great revolution which the country
has undergone, and makes an eloquent
plea for complete reconciliation and mu-
tusl confidence. We hope this letter
will be circulated and read as widely as
were the appeals to popular pas
zion which have called it forth. The
personal reputation Of Governor Harris
, needs no vlndication. 1t was long ago
established upon a secure and impreg-
nsble basis, and he has outlived the ne.
cessily of repelling ISLANDERS and contra.
dieting cslumnious stories. But the
charges against Governor Harris are so
bsseless, so utterly atrocious in their
malignant wickedness, that he will be
constrained to canvass the State for the
purpose Of vindicating himself and ex-
posing his trsducers. His refutRtion
will be complete, conclusive and tri-
umphsnt. We presume Union man
will fill the place made vacant as eIector
for the State AZ large by the resignation

COLEY BARKING AT THE SAME
HOLE.

HOLE.
The reader has no doubt heard Of the
enterprise and msrtyrdom Of poor,
silly dog called Coley. This historical
quRdruped was the guardian OF his mag
ter's rural yard, where he slept in sum
ny dreams, and occasionally bayed
the moon. On one occasion while drag
ging his NANCY CARCASS slowly along, q
woodchuck, in his raid upon the crib,
attracted Coley's attention, and he
made for the mysterious stranger. A
friendly stone fence furnished q safe re-
trea.. and the lazy dog got up just as
the tail o. the fugitive whisked into the
hole. Coley 6.srked at that hole vigor-
ously for season; hen be took a recess
and barked again; then he lay down
and vhined and watched for tie hole to
give up its contents, until at last, weary
of barking, and despairing Of the pris
oner coming out and suTendering him.
self, he gave one long yell and retired
to supper. The next day, when he had
seen the buxom girls shake the table
cloth, and the fiaxen-hRired children off
to school, he bethought himself
of the truant woodohuek, and
he forthwith resumed the attack
upon the hole. He strained his bright,
expressive eyes as he looked into the
narrow crevices between the compactly
built rocks, made his bristles stand
erect as he warmed up to his assault,
and bsrked, ifpossible, more vehemently
than before. But it was all in vain, and
finding that the birds sang, and the
flowers bloomed, and the sun shone, and
little ones Of the farm focks skipped and
f;olicked just as If there were no wood
chucks in the land, he finally walked
demurely away, leaving the departed
chatterer to his unknown destiny. But
Coley never would give up that wood
o',1ok, and when roGssa from his noon

IS Wild Bill" Dead.

Kansas City Times.l
Last evenings kilograms brought con-
frmatory reports of the death of VIII
liam Hickok, a well-known frontier
character. 1t appears that Bill died Just
in the way and manner he did not wish
to die-that is, with bis boots on. His
life during the past five or six years has
been one Of constant watchfulness and
expectation, as more than one reckless
frontiersman had coolly contracted to
take his life. But Bill was never off
guard, and woe unto the wretched devil
who failed to 'fget the drop''-o on the
long.haired William. More than one
fool has had bullet sent crushing
through his brain from the ever-ready
pistol of this cool and silent desperate.
William spent many moHths in this
city after he left Hays City, where he
spent season with the lamented Gen.
eral Custer. But on account Of deadly
feud between himself and the friends Of
Texan he had killed in Abilene some
years before, he ever after kept out of
the way OF the Texas roughs, who had
sworn to take his life. While in Kansas
City he made his headquarters about
the saloons on Main street, between
Fourth and Missouri avenue. But, be-
LuO huu
having no visible means of support, he
was arrested by Marshal Speers as va
grant. He left here and went to Clinton
and Springfield, Missouri, where he
met with some trouble, got away with
his life (but was reported killed in the
city papers). He wore his hair long, al.
lowing it to hang in curls down upon
his shoulders. He was tall, good look,
ing, and every inch the frontier hero, as
painted by the yellow back novelists.
This fact led to his engagement to play
in some of his sensational melodramas
with Bill Cody Buffalo Bill, ]. w.
Crawford Captain Jaek), and "rexas
Jack" Hickok made a little money
playing scout upon the stage, and last
Iall turned up in Cheyenne, where he
became a regular nightly ornament at
ffM' Danielsn and the other fast solves"
about town. Again he was notified by
the city authorities to leave town, but
by the intervention Of friends he was

Palm boughs budding in her hands,
Flowers beneath her rested feet,
Thornless Eden flowers and sweet,
Who shall tell my love love her?
Such sweet song
Angel lips are chanting over
This new saint amid their thropg;
Scarcely will they change that strain
Counting human love SO vain.
Who shall tell my love I love her?
Shall the lark,
Starting from his grassy cover
While the skies are gray and dark?
Nay: mine own song scars as high
AS the brown lark's minStre.sy.
Who shall tell my love love her!
Shall tue breeze?
That most sweet but thriftless rover,
Goes It Stir the living trees?
Can NV message thus be given?
Nay, the breeze blows under heaven.
Who shall tell my love l love her?
Shall notI?
When LIES fever-sleep is over,
And my souls glad open eye,
Darts through blue and amber space.
Searching looks for her dear face?
I shall tell my love love her
Very soon
Human words no more may move her,
But my spirit-lips shall tune
Songs of owe as high and sweet,
Songs of love as pure and meet,
An angels own. her ears to greet
1 shall tell my love love her.

AN APPEAL.
We are three tender, c;ingirg things,
With palpitating natures;
We can't endure that gentlemen
Should think Of us as creatures
Who dress like rights and want their rights
Or business to attend t.,
Or have their views, or ask the news,
Or anything that men do.
listen, valued gentlemen,
Don't let yourselves be blinded;
We're not estranged, we're no way changed,
And not the least strong-minded.
We cant abide careers and things,
Whenever touch an ism;
We couldn't stand outside a sphere,
Nor do syllogism.
We don't enjoy rude heath, like some,
Nor mannish independence;
We're helpless as three sOft-Shelled crabs,
Without some male attendants.
We need-O how we need! a guide;
Secure his views obtaining,
OF what to like, and when to step,
And whether 1t Is raining.
Aud when we roam, we wait for him
To point, with mauly structures,
The landscape out, and say, " Behold!
Just as they do in pictures.
We're trusting-confiding-
Too easily we're blinded.
We're cIinging and hanging
And truly feeble-minded.
We disapprove the sort of girl
Who calls for education,
And sells her talents, like man,
For bold remuneration.
We'd die before we'd learn a trade;
We'd scorn to go to college;
We know from paTsing Milton) how
Unfeminine is knowledge.
"God is thy law thou mine" IL says;
Thou art my guide and mentor,
My author and my publisher;
source, patentse, inventor.
But we, we can do naught but cling,
AS on the oak the vine did;
And we know nothing but to love;
Indeed ere feeb. e-minded.

What is hope? smiling rainbow
Children follow through the wet;
TITS not here; still yonder, yonder;
Never urchin found it yet.
What is life? A thawing iceberg
On sea with cunning shore;
Gay we sail; it melts beneath us;
We are sunk, and seem no more.
What is man? A foolish baby,
Vainly strives, and fights and trets
Demanding all, deserving nothing;
One small grave is what he gets.

This may be judged of by the lustre
Of the hair and brilliancy Of the eyes
and horns. Constitution depends most.
ly upon the heart and lungs, the size
Of which may be determined by the
depth and bredth of the thorax. They
should have a good development,
enough to secure health and vigor, but
the lungs in particular, should not be
excessively large. When very large,
they burn up, by increased respiration,
the fat forming material. BY the
extraordinary energy they create,
they induce unusual exercise and
motion, which make rapid waste
of tissue ard rapid assimilation to
repair it, and thus divert nutriment
from producing milk. If too small,
the animal may be an excellent milk
er while she lives, but she will be
feeble and short lived.
The capacity of the lungs CORE
spends with the size of the aper-
lures, through which they are filled.
Large, open nostrils indicate large
lungs, and uice versa. In the same
way, the size Of the stomach.
The chine is regarded as an index
to milking capacity. When it is donb-
lie, it denotes bredth Of vertebr@,
which corresponds to the broad, open
structure, which is favorable to a
large flow.
1t is an accompaniment Of broad
hips and these in turn denote large
cavity, which is essential to good
mixers.
The milk mirror, or escutcheon Of
Gueon, is one of the leading indlca-
lions Of milking capacity. 1t con-
sits Of the peculiar appearance Of the
hair on the ud1er.
Looking at The hind part of COW,
more or less of the hair which covers
tie udder and adjacent parts, will be
seen to turn upward and outward
This reversed hair forms the so called
escutcheon. II the space Occupied by
the upturned hair, especially the low
er part Of it, Is very large and broad,
SO that it extends outward on to the
thighs it is regarded as indicating a
large flow Of milk. If the upper part
Of it is broad and smooth, it is regard
ed as favorable to prolonged tlow.-
If the reversed part Of it IS narrow
and irregular in its upper part. 1t IS
unfavorable to prolonged flow. The
manner in which the inverted hair
connects with the hair adjacent, is
supposed to have significance. A
gradual blending, rather than at
rnpt connection is preferred.
The connection Of the escutc'eou(or
scutcheon) with the aow Of milk, is
accounted for by Magne, who says
that the hair turns in the direction IN
which the arteries ramity and that
the reversed hair on the udder and
adjacent parts indicates the termlna-
ton of the arte. les which supply the
udder with blood. When these ar
teries are large, they are not confined
to the udder, but extend down through
it and upward and outward, ramlty-
ing on the skin beyond the udder CIV
ing the hair the peculiar appearance
which distinguishes it from the rest
Of the surface. If the arteries sup
plying the udder with blood are very
small, they are not likely to exteNd
much beyond the udder, and hence
form small escutcheon. Hence a
small escutcheon indicates feeble
supply of blood to the udder, and con-
seuuently but little material to make
milk out Of, and hence a small flow
of milk.-L. 3. ArnoIds american
