The Mistake of Captain In the Turk.
0rs4 ish Navy. Hp M

There is even report that the Ottoman
fleet passing by a Turkish fort mistook iG
for Odessa q nd bombarded it, and that
the Turkish fort had conscientiously an
swered the fire. There is an old anecdOte
in circulation here, which Is now given
az an absolute fact, and as such implicitly
believed. 1t is so funny and apropos that
it will bear repeating. The Sultan Add
ul-Aziz was very proud of his fleet and
desired to show sample of it to England.
He therefore ordered one of his Captains
to go to England to salute in his name
Queen Victoria. The ship sailed, and
while in the Mediterranean all went we'll !;
the pilot was still on board. But when
Gibraltar was reached and the pilot about
to take his leave the CAPITA explained
the bad fix he was in. He felt himself
wholly incapable of making an English
port. Out of this perplexity the pilot
drew him by showing him q steamer
leaving FIR England.
Follow that Ship" said he, "she is
going to England"
30 it was done all day and all night.
But during the darkness the guide was
lost. At daybreak a ship was seen on the
horizon, and the Turk followed it with all
confidence. Four days passed, then six,
then eight, then ten.
II did not think England was SO far ~
said the discreet Captain. 9s S., s
At length great port was sighted. The
authorities visited the iron clad, and
asked the Captain in English what he
desired. =.
:" come on behalf of my master to:
salute your Sovereign" AT the word
Sovereign, ,the.stupefaction of the visitors
was complete. ~
What Sovereigns" asked the chief
man.
"Queen Victoria. Am not in Eng
landf" x,rs. 81
At these words all the people of the
country began to laugh.
You are in New York, :, they cried.
Here is what. had happened. During
the first night they had lost the steamer
which should have guided them, and they
had followed another, believing it to be
the same ship. repeat that this story is,

The Cow Is Queen.

Brind'e in the family has for long
years nearly supported the family, and
added largely TO the table comforts Of
rich and poor. But she has been consid.
cred as occupying small place in the
wealth or commerce OF the world; but
she is becoming an important factor in
the business and financial prosperity of
any country. The produce of her udder
is Of more money value than any other
crop, except corn, In its raw state, in this
country. There was in 1875 iii the United
States 10, 600, goo cows. Estimating them
at $45 per head, they are worth $780,
600, 600. In the same year, we learn from
actual statistics and reasonable estimates,
that there were manufactured 900, $751;
374 pounds of cheese, 020, 191 ,219 pot1nds
of butter. 325, 500, 600 gallons Of milk
sold, and !, 302, 002, 396 gallons consumed
in families, etc. The cheese at twelve
cents per pound would be $24, 440. 1926 !;
the butter at twenty two cents would be
$137, 542 ,068; the milk at eight Cents
per gallon would be $3.50. 200 ,239; 5000
600 calves at 50 per head would be $27,-
OOO, 600; total, &319. 1872, 1928. This is the
annual product from the cow.
The cotton crop for 1875 was worth
about $500, ZOO, 600. The total crop Of
corn for that year was / ,321 ,089, 900 bush
els, which at forty cents per bushel IA lib
eral average) would be worth $685., 427,
800. The wheat crop was 292, 1886, 600,
which at 81 90 per bushel would be $292,
1876, 900; and there are no other items of
produce coming in competition with these
four items-milk, wheat, corn and cotton.
So that corn stands the unrivaled king, yet
the COW may be considered the worthy
queen, and so far as the real conf rts and
necessaries of life are concerned, we would
sooner give up the corn crop than the COW.

treated the House to give him five min

been thought by some that this maiden
speech was in the bombastic style of MIR.
Disraeli's novels, but the speed. was not
specially bombastic. The House was yet
strange to the characteristics and manner
isms Ct the young orator. A silly threat
made by him to crush O'Connell, one of
the most formidable men of the time, was
remembered. Moreover, the House was
not prepared to applaud young member
