1t will be seen that the chief differ
ence consists in the substitution of the
sugar of milk for a portion of the al
luminous matter of the beet, and this
sugar being simply carbon and water,
we may have here clue to the reason
why the COW can give 1870 pounds of
solid matter in milk in the same time
that she takes to store up Is pounds
of solid matter in increase of weight
of carcass. If we deduct from the
100 pounds ofsolid substance in LOCO
pounds of milk, the proportion (36.75
per cent Of milk sugar, We have 81
pounds remainlpg-a quantity COM
pairing much more closely with the rs
pounds Of solid matter in 100 pounds
increase of live weight. The amount
of fat corresponds very closely will
the amount OF butter. and the mineral
matter in the beef is almost precisely
the same as given in the Encyclopedia
article above quoted.
But as this is, in my hands at least,
more curious than useful, let us see
how the characters of the best known
breeds of cattle comport with the pc
sition that the feeding and mixing
qualities are CO ordinate. r
OTHER gREEDs THAN sHoRr-HoRSs.
As regards the Short Horns. have
quoted DIR. Bell and Mr.. Straford al
ready. The Nevons give a small
quantity OF very excellent milk, ma
ture slowly, and make small carcase
of very fine meat. The Hereford cat
tie make meat rapidly and mature ear
! ly, and are generally considered very
poor mixers They must give very
rich milk, however, judging by the
way they rear their calves, and it is
also to be considered that beef and not
milk has been the objectof the Here
, ford breeder for at least a century -
Moreover there are exceptions. Mr.
D. K. Shaw of Chautauqua county,
N. Y, exhibited at the n. I. State
Fair of 1875 a beautiful thoroughbred
heifer, with such flow of milk thai
he entered her. though but two years
old, in the mich COW class.
The Ayrshire gives milk that is
poor in butter, and accordingly she is
an inferior animal for beef. Our ma.
tive cattle, made up of all sorts ofele-
ments, but very excellent cattle to i'm
!, prove upon, give moderate quanti-
ty Of milk Of very fair quality, ano
when fed make very good beef indeed
though it takes them a good while
, to do it.
Take Mr.. Hardin's own breed, th,
: Jerseys-are they all butter and NJ
, beef! The late Col. LIE Couteur, tn
: highest authority on the subject
: writes of them, in 1S45, as follow
Or. A. S. OF Eng, V. 40:
"Some of these improved animal
have fattened so rapidly while bein.
stalled-fed from the month of Decem
J Der to March. as to suffer ID parturi
{ ton, when both COW and calf have be e

u beef is excellent; the only defect bein
IN the color Of the fat, which is some
= times SO yellow. 1t is now fa
- question whether the improved bree

HARD WoRK.-It is the honest,
''plodding' workman who rises to an
elevated position in the world. Work
is, as rule, at the foundation of all
true success. Brilliant parts, fine ed
ucation, powerful friends are not to be
despised, but they cannot supply the
place of personal toll and patient,
pains-taking industry. President Lin.
coin literally worked his way up from
a common laborer to the highest posi-
ton in the gift of the Republic
Henry Wilson, at twenty carried
in wardrobe and library on his back
whittier he went in pursuit of work.
Commodore Vanderbilt laid the foun
datlon OF his vast fortune in the saw
ings and habits ofindustry acquired in
his young days in rowing a ferry
Charles Dickens owed lis success not
more to his genius than to hard, sys
tematic labor.

Great Excitement at Ward.

A special dispatch to the SENTINEL
from Hamilton last night has the fol-
lowing:
"a delegation of Ward merchants
have just arrived here. They repre-.
sent that great excitement prevails in
Ward e the embarrassment of the
Martin White Company. Latest re-
ports from San Francisco, however,
indicate a speedy adjustment of the
Company's affairs"
The SENTINEL learns from other
sources that the local liabilities of the
Company are estimated at from $4,000
to 800 600, due miners, merchants,
teamsters, coalburners, etc. The EN-.
barrassment doubtless grows out OF
the construction of the new mill by
the Company, and a failure in the
water supply, which prevented the
running of the mill at u time when the
Company stood in the greatest need o.
revenue. The Company has also been
involved in expensive litigation for sew.
eral months. There can be no doubt re.
garding the immense value of the
Martin White mines, and it is therefor,
highly probable that the present EN-.
barrassment will be but temporary,
We are glad to know that reports from
San Francisco are favorable for ar
early adjustment, AS the community o.
Ward is almost wholly dependent on
the Company for whatever of employ
ment and business it enjoys.

The sunday Evening lectures.

The well-flled houses that greet the
Reverend Mr.. Gray on each recurring
Sunday evening ought to, and we pre-
sumo do, convince that gentleman that
he has struck a popular chord, in re-
iieving his discourses of the dry, theo-
logical husks that are usually served
to sinners. OF course much is due to
the charm of oratory, and the infusion
Of brains; but we opine that even his
talents would not draw so mixed an
assemblage 10 hear the usual sermon.
Not only is the style of the discourse
removed from the usual rut, but an
extra attraction is offered in the good
music that one has a chance 10 enjoy.
The choir discoursed some excellent
strains on Sunday evening, and we
have heard many Communications of
the melodious concord of sweet sounds.
A quartete, sung Dy Mesdames Clark
and Gray, and Messrs. Morrison and
Beard, was especially we'll rendered.
Mrs. Clark's soprano, while soft and
free from harshness, is clear, and of
considerable compass; and the alto of
Mrs. Gray, although not strong, ac-
cords we'll with her companions bell
like tones. Mr.. Beard has a magnifi-
cent bass, and Morrison's tenor was a
feature of the selection. When the
choir ''attuned their voices aud praised
God and his works" in that immortal
hymn, Brock o. ages, cleft for me-" the
perfect silence and attention of the
audience aitested their appreciation.
The organist, Mr.. Cox, is a host in
himself, and his correct accompani-
ments, and delicate lingering, is well
worth listening to.
The weather was very unpropitious
tor church goers, but the house was
crowded, and there was but one draw
back to the services. We allude to the
very, very hard, straight backed
benches. The uneasy shifting of posi-
tons, and the alacrity with which the
congregation rose to their feet during
the singing, testifying to the WEAKNESS
inflicted by them. When this is reme-
died, the comfort Of those attending
will be complete.

Eureka Consolidated.


We find the following in San Fran
cisco's bear organ:
To the editor of the Chronicle-Sir:
As you are diligently investigating
mining matters, and particularly min
ing arrangements, l would ask of you
to look into that of the Eureka Consol-
| dated, of which / am a stakeholder.
Upon examination of letters in the
office, from the Superintendent, l find
no satisfactory report of either the
workings or condition Of the property
under his charge. | understand the
furnaces are not running. and it would
be very satisfactory to know the reason.
The last dividend Of 81 was paid in
August, 1875. An assessment of 81
was levied May 20, 1876, since which
time it was supposed that the furnaces
would be running and the mine pay
dividends. As nc infor nation can be
obtained at the Office from the letters
on file as TO the condition of the proper
ty, can you elucidate this matter, and
tell If the fault is in the management
or in the mine, and oblige.
A STOCKHOLDERS.
San Francisco, April Is.
There can hardly be a doubt that tn
letter was written in the office of the
Chronicle, the motive being to bear the
stock of the Eureka Company. The
Chronicle is engaged in the business of
bearing everything on the list,
and when Eureka Consolidated
made a start in the market
the other day it doubtless thought
it would be just the thing to
give the management a slap through
the convenient medium of a dissatis-
fled stakeholder. The Chronicle well
knew when it published that bogus
communication that the Consolidated
was, in a great measure, tied up with
litigation. 1t also knew that reports
of the progress of operations outside
forwarded each week, being usually
published in the San Francisco mining
papers, and not unfrequently copied
in the columns of the Chronicle. In
fact, only the day previous to the pub
LEGATION of the above communication
the following official letter from the
mine appeared in nearly all OF the
Bay papers:
The usual progress has been made
in the mine since my last report. No
material change in mine outside the
seventh level. The developments
show a decided improvement, and the
prospects show every Indication of
soon coming upon a body Of ore. Tie
