SpECTAcLEs IN THE ARMY.-According
to the Temps, the military authorities of
France have decided upon issuing an
order sanctioning the wearing OF spec
tacles by the officers and men of the
French army. In Germany spectacles
have long been worn by both officers
and men in the ranks. 1t is recognized
az essential tina! an officer should be
able to see his men, and that these latter
should be a5le to clearly distinguish the
targe. at which they have to fire; and
therefore, unless spectacles or eyeglasses
are permitted. every shortsighted man
must be excluded from the army. Con-

A Corn ON THE NosE.-Persous who
know something of the thrift of corns
may possibly believe this story of man
who lives at Ridgeville, Ind: He was
afflicted with erysipelas in the face some
years ago. Gradually it settled in his
nose, which became hardened at the
point. AT first it felt like hard pimple.
Gradually it developed into hard sub
stance like rooster's spur, and finally
projected itself into we'll defined horn.
AS 1t grew it became annoying from its
length, and, to curtail its dimensions,
be began to whittle it down with sharp
knife, and finding it painless he con-
tinued the whiting process, keeping
the cornuary development down to per
haps half an inch in length. The mar
says he presumes that, if he had mol
whitfield 1t down, this singular forma
ton would now have been about five

COURT BUSINESS ON SUNDAY.

A correspondent OF the Tuscarora

+ Many persons seems to labor under
the delusion that no Court can transact
any judicial business on Sunday. The
law governing this matter can be seen
by reference to section 955, page 22G,

mo Court shall be open, nor shall
any judicial business be transacted on

general election is held, except for the
following purposes:
"First-.To give upon their request,

"Second-To receive verdict or dis

Third-For the exercise of the powers
of magistrate in criminal action, or

Lesson Of tho Minnesota Election,

A Sc. Paul correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing after the
election returns had assured a majority
Of about $4,000 for our Republican
State Ticket; calls attention to some of
the obvious lessons Of that election,
claiming that they are more significant
than they have heretofore been consid
cred. He correctly shows that, al
though Minnesota is among the stand
ard Republican States Of the Union in
exciting Presidential contests, yet 10
the l.nguid :'off" year her Republican
majority has not averaged over Z 600.
and one year fell as low as 1,947
This year it will be nearly or quite l8
600, aud the excess over about 900
the writer says, is due chiefly to three
causes:
First. To popular satisfaction with
the administration of Governor Pills
bury; second, TO the protest Of honest
Democrats against the efforts Of small
squad Of demagogues to allure their
party from its ancient and honorable
support of sound money into sup.
port Of the imitation heresy ;
and third, to cordial approval Of Presi.
dent Hayes pacifcation and puri6ca-
tion policies, aud Of that conservative
financial management which is surely
tending to early specie resumption.
That the l;s had its share in the re-.
suit this correspondent says is sufici.
emily shown both by the fact that
Governor Pillsbury in his speech Of
acceptance in the State Convention
emphatieally eadorscd the Presidents
course in advaoee ofthe report of the
platform committee, and by the fact
that the convention heartily adopted
the resolutions, which equal those Of
the Massachusetts, Republicans 10 un
qualified support cf che Presidents s
policy; and it is shcwa by the further
fact that the conventions rejected that
portion Of one Of the reported resolu
tions which gave qualified coantenance
to deprecated silver standard, and
commend simply the conservative pol
icy which is bringing the National cur
rency to gold standard.
With the issues thus sharply defined,
':ss against a Democratic platform
which court with soft money hlxadish-
ments, and a Democratic candidate for
Governor who vociferated 'fraul,' plead
for inf alton, and catered to low con :
munistic predictions. the result is the
largest Republican majority ever given
at State election, and one which, in
proportion to the total vote cast, ex.
ceeds the $4,000 majority Of the last
Presidential election" Thus the
election in Minnesota is read to the
Republicans of other States in Ian
guaee that cannot be otherwise than
valuable to them and credieable to us
It is certainly a theme for hearty and
enduring congratulation, that the brave
and righteous attitude assumed By the
party in this State Las met with SO
emphatic an endorsement at the hands
ofthe peop!e.-[Dispa'ch.

Feed and Breed Of Dairy Cows.

DR.. L. L Sturtevant.of South Far
mingham Mass making the following
summary Of conclusions at which he
has arrived on this subject, after many
years OF study and practical exper-
ments
l. The production Of butter is large
ly dependent On breed
2. There is a structural limit to
the production of butter to each COW
3. That when q COW is fed to this
Emit, increased food can not increase
the product.
4 That the superior COW has this
structural limit at Crater distance
from ordinary food, and more Is ready
to respond to stimulus than the iuferi'
COW.
s That consequently the superior
COW is seldom fed to her limit, and as
q practical conclusion. increased feed
with superior lot Of fcows will increase
the butter product, but if fed to an in
ferior lot Of cows, waste can but be the
result.
6. That the character Of the food
has some influence on the character Of
the butter. but even here breed inf1u
ences more than food.
Z. That there is no constant rela-
ton between the butter product and
the cheese product.
8. That the caseine contains q
constant percentage, and that this per.
centage dose not appear to respond "a
increase of food.
9. That the caseine appears to re-
main constant without regard to the
season.
10 That increase in ths quantity
Of milk is followed by an increase in
the total amount Of. caseine.
IL. That insufficient feed acts di.
rectly to check the proportion Of but
