The Lire Stock Journal, in answer to
an inquiry as to the cause Of cows losing
their cud, and how the disease is to be
treated, says 1.-THE loss of the cud is not
a disease, but rather symptom of either
an approaching disease or one already ex-
isting. When observed, give q solution
of eight to twelve ounces of Glauber's salts
in quart of warm water, to which add
an ounce of bruised caraway seed, or an
ounce of ground ginger.

WHrN WHEAT IS GREEN.


When wheat Is green IN inlfowed fields,
And forest lanes are lined with leaves,
And passion unto pleading yields.
And every mateless maiden grieyes
For lack Of loye, At such time
Ny pleasure viii be in IL prime,
The clouds, that keep away the sun,
And cover up The moon at night
Before the strong March wind will run,
And leave the heavens blue and bright;
The snn viii shine upon the sea-
The moon VIII light the wood for me.
And then, an thenl dearest daysi
Laburnum branches, thick with bloom,
WIN throw their gold on garden ways,
And kiss the windows ofmy room;
And then the day How viii be
To live in such felicity
Ny brow with blossoms win be bound,
And from my fears shall be freei
o tardy Time, bring quickly round
The meFriest month Of all for mel
That / may hear The church boys sing,
And on my finger see the ring

The Education of Cats,

A writer in the Eclectic Mugazine says: The Beigiars have formed a society for the mental and moral inn provement of cats. The first effort has been to train the cat to do the work now done by carrier pigeons. The most astute and accomplished scientific person would have his ideas of locality totally confused by being tied up in a meal-bag, carried twenty miles from home, and let out in strange neigh borhood in the middle of the night. This experiment has, however, been repeatedly tried upon cats of only aver age ability, and the invariable result has been that the deported animal has reappeared at his native kitchen-,oor the next morning, and calmly ignored the whole affair. This wonderful skill in travelling through unfamiliar re- gions, without guide-book or a com- pass, has suggested the possibility of cats being used as special messengers. Recently thirty-seven cats residing in the city of Liege were taken in bags a long distance into the country. The animals were liberated at } o'clock in the afternoon. At GAS the same after noon one of them reached his home. His feline companions arrived at Liege somewhat later, but it is understood that within twenty-four hours every one had reached his home. It is pro- posed to establish, at an early day, a regular system of cat communication between Liege and the neighboring UillaUaS

A Virginia Belle.

The "Powhatan estate" was for two hundred years the property of the Mayo family, and here, as the story goes, John Howard Payne fell madly in love, when in Richmond, with Miss Maria Mayo (afteward Mrs. General Winfield ScOtt), a famous Richmond bellein her day, and remarkable for her wit and intelligence, as we'll as for her extraordinary beauty. Poor Payne laid his heart at her feet, but she is said to have toyed and coquetted with it, and then to have flung it aside. When all hope of winning the fair prize was abandoned, Payne went to Europe, where he remained for nearly twenty years, and where he wrote his "HOme, Sweet Home," which was first sung in his opera of "Clare," at Lon- don. This traditional incident in the life of Payne revives another (and one still current in Rlchmond) connected with General Scott. It is said when he
 first addressed Miss Mayo. he was only a captain in the regular army, and his suit was summarily dismissed, After ward, when a major, he renewed the protfer of his hand, but with no better success. The third time he wore the epaulets of general, and these promptly secured his acceptance. When asked by one of her friends why she had thus suddenly changed her mind, Miss Mayo is said to have repli- ed: "In my estimation, there is very decided difference between a captain, or even a major, and a general in the American army"

The Turkish Prison.

Opposite to the mosque with the six minarcts, at Stamboul, there rises a gloomy building known as the Central Prison of the Ottoman Empire. Ad- mission to it is formally denied to strangers, but no door can be considered inexorably closed in Turkey to visitors familiar with the virtues of the silver key.
 The fatal threshold being passed, cir freely allowed, and also conversation with many of its inmates. There is not much to interest the visitor in the prison itself, the horrors of former days having been put an end to, if they have not altogether ceased, being now, at least, very seldom, and always very secretly resorted to, and the chains with which the prisoners were laden till lately fell at the request of the visit of Mir. Philip Currie, Lord Saiisbury's First Secretary.
 It is only the prisoners, or at least better feeling, at least to mans curi- Osity; and with these it is easy to be on friendly terms, as, although some of them may pro forma be kept ill secret, or doomed to solitary confinement, they are all allowed long hours of relaxation in the Ouloirs, Hobbies or passages, for the benefit of air and exercise, where a visitor, upon the slightest encourage ment on his part, finds them extremely sociable and communicative. During these hours of promenade the dwellers of the various cells are thrown together pell mell, and, till custom has recOn- ciled one to it, it is natural to be shocked by the sight of State prisoners, some times men of rank and education having to struggle through the crowd of com mon felOns and malefactors ; the journal ist Cassape, for instance, Renal Bey, a literary man and politician, elbOwing past such monsters as Nasseily, the coffee-hOuse keeper, whose murder of the two sisters Samalik filled Pera with horror a year ago, or the Circassian, his acc0mplice, who, after the enjoyment of twelve months impunity, has just been sent to keep him company after the trial in which he appeared as witness.
 Hardly perceptible in the throng of common thieves, burglars and highway men there still finger here few score of Bulgarians, mostly simple peasants and poor villagers, those who escaped the massacres and the first wholesale executions in that province, men who were arrested at haphazard, their guilt unknown to them as well as to to those who apprehended them, and brought here, where no one ever asked their business, and where no one seems any longer to trouble himself about thcm.- London Times.
