Remarkable Butter.

Mr.. Atkinson is % farmer in Marin
county, Cal. He wrote recently to q
commission house in San Francisco with
which he has commercial relations as
follows: 81 will send you the finest but
ter next week you ever saw. The first
lot will weigh about sixty pounds. Will
divide the proceeds of the sale with
you" Encouraged by the liberal terms
of the offer, the firm advertised exten-
sively, that they were prepared to fill
orders for dairymen and produce mer-
chants for the finest butter ever sent to
that market. AT the appointed time
the consignment failed to arrive, so the
merchants telegraphed to San Rafael,
and received the reply that the butter
would be down by the first boat next
morning. The Butter arrived as prom
ised, but it was in the form of a fero-
cious goat of enormous size which was
no sooner liberated from his crate than
he commenced q career of the most un-
knocked the senior partner into the cor
ner and butted three of his ribs out !; the
Junior partner took refuge on the top Of
bale of wool, but the goat jumped
after him, butted him off on the floor,
and prodded him with his horns until
he was insensible. After fixing up
things generally so that each member of
the firm looked as if he had been in
vited to first-class massacre and wound
up by tour in threshing machine;
this " first-class butter" was at last las
seed and sent to the city pound.

Select Poetry.
A BRIMsrONE MATCH.

oh, her hair is as dark as the midnight wave
And her eye is like kindling fire,
And her voice is as sweet as the spirits voice,
That chords with the seraph's Tyre.
But her nails are as sharp as a toasting fork,
And her arms as strong as q bears
She pulled my hair and gouged my eye,
And she kicked me down the stairs.
I've got an eye that's made of glass,
And I've got a wig that's new;
The wig is frizzed in corkscrew curls,
And the eye is a clouded blue.
She may shake her knuckes full in my face,
And put the lamp to my beard
And hold the broom stick over my head
But Pm not bit afear'd.
For I've bound her over to keep the peace,
And I've bought me crabtree cane,
The justice will come, and the constable too,
If she NEEDLES with me again.
My head was week in the linen cap,
And my eye month in the patch;
never thought that the torch of love
Would light such birthstone match.

The reader may account, although the
Duke could not, for the smile which
grew brighter and brighter on the coun-
tenance of Lorraine during the forego-
ing speech, and from the exultlng tone
in which, at its close, he exclaimed:
She is mine if there be truth In

But the youth was out of sight ere the
sentence was finished, and the wonder
ing Duke pursued his way alone.

While the three are thus occupied

and their fond father ever and anon feed
ing his paternal vanity, by shy peep
over the edges of his paper, we, my dear
reader, with your permission, take the
same liberty with the sincere, but scarce
ly reasonable hope, that you may eXpe-
rience as much pleasure in the survey ,as
did Sir Richard Melton.
No wonder the frown gradually clear
ed away from the polished brow of Geor-
giana No wonder her superb, hazel
eyes are so proudly lighted up, as she
gazes at the reflection in the mirror, of
her brilliant and aristocratic beauty.
She cannot be more than nineteen years
of age; yet there is perfect majesty in
her mein, and in the noble contour of
her form and features, as she lies with
her small head thrown haughtily back,
her white throat curved, and her fair,
round arms folded gracefully before her.
Her dress is of rich white satin, fitting
closely to her beautiful bust and reaching
nearly to the throat, where it is termin-
ated by row of swans down. The satin
falls, which drape her dimpled elbow,
are trimmed in the same chaste and sim
pie manner; but look as she moves,
the sudden flash of diamonds from amid
the rich softness of the down betrays,

( regal taste of the wearer. She is evident

gleam like chain lightning amid the

parted smoothly from her white veined

is exquisitely formed, her forehead is
fair and broad, her eyes are eloquent
with the beauty of a proud and generous
soul. The bloom on her cheek is the
richest hue of health and youth and
expression of her arched and glowing
mouth is inimitably spirited yet sweet as

A Court of Appeals Joke.

In the Court of Appeals, case was
argued involving an alleged infringe
ment upon the trade mark of certain
brandies, Samuel Hand, of our city, be-
ing the counsel for the owners. During
his argument counsel handed a bottle of
brandy to the Court, in order to illus
trate the precise size and general ap-
pearance of the packages. The bottle
las to its exterior) was examined by the
Court with becoming gravity, and Mr..
HAND as graveiy proceeded with his ad-
dress. After the Court adjourned, how
ever, it came out that Mr.. Hand had
been the recipient of note from one of
the judges, reminding him with some
severity that the rules of the Court re-
quired the submission and filling of six
teen copies of all exhibits for the use of
the Court. What further transpired has
not been made public, but as the judges
and counsel enjoyed their dinner with
unusual relish, it is to be presumed that
the remaining "copies" were promptly
led.-Albany Journal.
