ONE Cow A NINE OF WEALTH.-The
history of the shorthorn COW, Duchess
Goth, which was sold in 1853, at Earl
Ducie's sale, in England, to Colonel
Morris, of Fordham. for 700 guineas, OF
S3675, is remarkable as showing the
actual value of one good breeding ami
NAL. From this COW, which was calved
in November, 1850, there may be trac-
ed in direct descent a number of ami
mails which have sold for about $780,
900. Let it be admitted that as much
of this value as may be is depending
on fancy or rich breeders, and is not
the intrinsic value of the beef and milk
produced yet no one can help admit
ting that an immense value, estimated
in these alone, has accrued to the
world from this COW; and in proportion
to this value may be estimated the
profit to a breeder from any superior
animal he may produce. A line Of
breeding animals is brought into exis-
teuce which spreads out fan like, and
DIVORCES year by year wider and wi
der, until we can no longer reach the
bounds of the beneficial influence. 1t
is in this that lies the value of any
good animal, and it is an unfair dis
paragement to confine its value to the
weight of meat upon its carcass, or its
produce in milk and butter. The
breeder who produces a superior ami.
NAL sets in motion an impulse which
must in time spread and increase enOr.

HAD No\ Fun IN HIM.-One of the
members Of the Methodist Conference,
recently held here, was ont for walk
at an early hour one morning, and
while on Howard street he encountered
a strapping big fellow, who was draw
ing a wagon to the blacksmith shop.
"Catch hold here and help me down
to the shop with this wagon and I'll
buy the whisky" called out the big
fellow.
81 never drink" solemnly replied the
good man.
swell you can take cigar
81 never smoke"
The man dropped the wagon-tongue,
looked hard at the member, and
asked:
"Don't you chewq"
"No. sir" was the decided reply.
"You must get mighty lonesome"
unused the teamster.
~ guess I'm all right feel first
rate"
am bet you even that / can lay you
on your back" remarked the big
teamster. "Come now, let's warm up
a lite"
Il never bet"
"Well, let's take each other down
for fun, then. You ale as big as l am,
and I'll give you the under hold"
~ never have fun" solemnly an
swered the member.
"Well, I'm going to tackle you any
way. Here we 60"
The teamster slid up and endeav-
ored to get neck hold, but he had
