Is IT GRANT AND TILDEN IN 1880?
1 predict that when General Grant
returns to New York from his European
tour, he will have the largest ovation
ever accorded to an American on COM
ing back to his native land. Prepara-
tions are already under way, and hun
dreds of people here will he glad to
contribute to make the reception as
grand and imposing as possible. The
feeling is pretty general among New
York Republicans that Gen. Grant
should be our presidential nominee in
1880. / Iguess he can have the nomi-
nation then if he warts it.
A few evenings since l had pleas

Many eyes were upon her as she
rose to take her last look of that
beloved face ere the lid of the coffin
was closed. Long, long she gazed
upon the still majestic beauty of lip,
and cheek and brow q few watching
eyes were dry when she bent down to
kiss those cold and silent lips for the
last time. No tear was shed, no sob
was uttered by her. Her heart wept
tears of blood the, while !; but her eyes
were dry. and her manner was calm
and composed, even when the icy clods
fell heavily upon her coffin, and hei
dead was buried from her sight for
ever. 'rret --iIr,.-

THE VANDERBILT WILL
CASE,

Mr.. Lord IN his opening speech
for the contestants Of the Wander
bilt will case on Wednesday made
some declarations, so the New York
papers say, which excited much
surprise i'll the court room. He said
that while the contest against adj
uniting the will to probate was 60
ing or, the proponent offered his
brother $1,OOO,O00 if he would not
press his claim, and afterward of
fered him ten per cent. of that sum
and denied that he had ever made
the first promise. The daughters
were not treated in so unjust a
manner as Cornelius by the will,
but their injuries were scarcely less
outrageous. The Commodore, for
long time before his death, was
suffering great pain, to relieve
which strong medicines were given
to him, which were sutfi ,iently
powerful to weaken his mind. Ills
desire to have his fortune pcrpetu
atcd in his own naiue because a
mania.
Commodore Vanderbilt, Mr..
Lord said, was addicted to form
of vice which had direct influence
upon his brain. Moreover, he was
sufferer from chronic lnaladies,
Bright's disease of the kidneys be
ing one of them and cystitis
another. The last mentioned was
the most painful and most danger
GUS disease on record. The agony
which the Commodore suffered from
it was terrible. 1t caused him to
writhe, and he frequently acted like
Il woman suffering from labor pains.
Medicine strong enough to allay
such pain must have weakened ms
mind, and on the other hand the
pain itself must have affected the
brain. Sometimes the Commodore
exhibited very violent temper. In
his fits of fury he paid no heed to
persons near him, and created
havoc among the furniture; then he
would become, at other times
cheerful and tranquil. That his
intellect was weak, Mr.. Lord as
serted, was shown in the fact thai
he was believer in spiritualisrn
not liz it's higher phases, but in lis
lowest types. He believed in clair
voyancc, that the nature Of diseases
could be discovered from miniatures
and locks of hair, and that they
could be cured by mesmerisn. lie
spent, counsel asserted, thousand:
of dollars upon such vagarics. After
his second marriage, in 1869, tho
Commodore became silly on occa
sions, and he was evidently entering
upon his second childhood. Years
ago he had been of the opinion that
an equal division of a parents
property upon his children was the
only proper distribution. HI
4 changed his mind in his dotage.-

CHOOSING A GOOD 90 ".
BY JOHN b. POiNTZ.

"a e,senc, as breeder of Jersey and
Alderney cattle for dairy purposes |
have become convinced that the term
"good COWS" means nothing more than
that she is satisfactory to her owner.
This standard is not sufficiently deh-
mite for the work Of the breeder, but
answers the purpose of traders. All
breeders must have a fixed standard
of merit, and rule by which it can be
tested My short rule by which to Sc
lect "good COW" | will submit to
your readers.
She should be in full flow. Cribs
means that her calf is at least ten days
old. Her condition will net change
until concep.ion) Weigh her upon
the stock scales. If the weight OF
milk yielded by her in thirty days e.
quals her weight, she is worthy of fur
Their trial, which should be made sew
en- months after conception. If her
flow is found to equal her weight in
sixty days, she is a good COW for either
family or dairy A better COW
will do this in twenty days. The best
COW for milk will do it in ten days, in
full flow, and the diminutlon OF flow
will not be more than half up to birth
Of calf. Now, by "Guenon' escutch-
con markings" to select the best mllch
COWS, vou will find strip of short,
fine hair of ar upward growth begin
ing upon the front Of the udder' ex-
tending back and upward, between
the thighs, towards tie tail. In this
strip Of up-growlng hair, above each
hind teat, there is patch of down
growing hair Of the same shape and
size. Cows marked in this manner,
without other downs growing hair IN or
encroaching upon the "escutcheon,
are of higher order OF merit as milk
producers than any COW without these
marks above the back teats upon the
udder. This strip of up-growlEg air
is called in Guenon's treatise on the
mich COW "the escutcheon." lie does
not use the term milk mirror Ill his
work. The books in which milk mir
ror is usedare spurious, and are not
more reliable than the "crumplod
horns, which can be and are produced
by clamps, used extensively for
this purpose by traders in fancy cattle,
which are sold by good looks and ped
igree, without regard to other merit.
And the use of the "milk mirror by
the writers of COW literature shows that
they are, at least, careless in their use
of propositions and this impairs the
estimate to be placed upon their word
by well-posted readers.
Dairy cattle Of both sexes have the
escutcheon marks developed at the
age Of twelve weeks the mill-veins
atabout one year. Breeders who wish
TO improve the merit Of their herds
should only breed cattle that have
their marks we'll defined, wide, and
extending we'll up-the higher the
better. The upper termination Of the
escutcheon, by its forms, fixes the
classification Of the COW. This stand
ard is high, and if worked up to will
Danish many COWS from the dairy to
the slaughter-pen, where their owners
should place them as soon as discover
ed deficient in markings.-Ohto El~-

WINTERING RoSEs.-A correspon-
dent of the Country Gentleman says :
Perhaps my plan Of wintering roses
may be useful to some other amateur :
| had hot bed frame not in use, and
after losing my roses in the house year
after year, | concluded to improvise a
small cold pit. / sank in the ground
very large uly-goteds box. Over it
| placed a hot-bed frame alna sash,
put the potted rosesin the box, and
the thing was done. AS the cold
grew intense, drew up earth around
the sides of the frame, and covered the
sash with an old piece Of carpet, and
did not then see my roses until spring,
when they were simply watered, the
carpet removed, and the plants left
under the sash for two or three weeks
before removing. | have practlced
this method for three or four winters,
and with perfect success. The plants
fairly jump when the sun strikes them
in the spring land they are in a healthy
growing condition when l trans
rlant to the border. | wish now to
make permanent coll-pit, in order
to have the hot-bed frame in the
spring.

Tar Cordial as contrasted with the speedy
collapse of nostrums devoid of efficacy
which have from time to time been puffed
into brief notOriety during the twenty odd
years that this celebrated medicine has been

ORGANIC UNION OF THE METHODIST Pro
TESTANT CHUECH.-The reunion of the two
branches of the Methodist Protestant
Church was consummated in Baltimore on
Wednesday under the Pittsburg basis.
which retains the old name and drops the
word white" from the book of discipline.
The Church divided in 1858, the new
branch, composed chiefly Of Western con-
gregations, taking the ecclesiastical name
OF the "The Methodist" Church. The
difference between the two branches was
chiefly in the name, and in regard to the
word 'white," now stricken out from the
fundamental law.
The two denominations numbered about
10000 each, scattered in different parts of
the United States. On the 18th of Novem-
Der, ISIS, the Methodist Protestant Church
was formed, building on the issue of Law
representation, which the Methodist Epis-
copal Church at that early day would not
recognize. Thirty years afterwards, on the
10Th OF November, 1858, twenty conferences
IN the free States, on the issue of disown-
ing slavery, which their Southern brethren
would not accept, separated, and dropping
the word Protestant" have ever since
been known by the simple title of "Metho.
dist" On the 10th of May, 1877, Just about
half century after its organization, and
nearly twenty years after its division into
two bodies, the Church was united. proba-
bly, to be never again sundered.
