A Test for the Capacity of Cows.

A commission has been appointed by
the Government of Pennsylvania to ex-
anime and report on the merits of sys-
tenn which undertakes to determine in
advance the probable yield of milk of
COWS, by certain marks upon the animal.
The marks are chiefly in respect to the
disposition and mode of growth of the
hair near the udder, and a prediction
can be made with certainty, it is said, as
to whether the future cow will be large
producer, of milk if the observation is
made on the young calf, even shortly
after birth. The discoverer of this pc
culiarity was French stock-raiser, M.
Francis Guenon; he first promulgated it
about forty years ago. Since then the
theory has found favor with several
French agricultural societies; M.
Guenon has, received medals and pc
cuniary rewards, and many stock-raisers
In Europe are said to base their esti-
mates OF the value of cattle upon this
system. The mark on the animal is
called an escutcheon. The mode by
which the value of the system Will be
tried in Pennsylvania is, first to have
the State Commissioners inspect the
marks on a series of COWS in several
stables, and make record of the indi-
cations without communicating any facts

Curing Beef Without Salt.

Our system of sailing meat makes it
unhealthy and distasteful. Why do we
salt bones? Were they extracted one
third the salt would suffice, and meat so
cured would lose little of its nutriment,
besides gaining in value. Two-thirds
of the smoking might be dispensed with,
and one cause of indigestibility greatly
lessened. Modern mechanical skill can
surely contrive tool to disbone ham,
and let the salt have equal access in
side and outside. The thick skin might
be removed with equal benefit. Custom
may claim the shape of the ham as i'm
portant, but this objection would give
way before the great superiority of the
meat. Farmers would find profit in it
for their own household. A boned tur-
key is always attractive. When raised
far from market, turkey boned
and slightly sailed and smoked
would find ready sale at remunerative
price. The Mexicans cure beef without
salt. The first operation is to unbone
it. Then it is cut into narrow strips
and exposed to the sun till superficial
crust is formed to exclude The air. A
slight smoking keeps insects away. 1t
is usually kept in sacks in dry place,
and time does not lnjure it. It is now
suggested that great improvement can
be made in curing all meats without
salt, by some adaptation of the Alden
fruit-drier. We have seen beef and
mutton shredded into broad ribbands
two inches thick, and passed thro ugh an
Alden drier and slightly smoked til a
strong outer crust was formed. The
cured meat was served to sailors on a
voyage to the Sandwich islands and back,
and was esteemed great luxury COM
pared with the best sailed mess beef.
Some that was brought back to San
Francisco satisfied the experimenters
that this mode of curing meat is des-
tined to come into general use.-Sa,a

Why the French Prosper.

The secret of the reserved wealth of
the French-their elasticity after dis
aster-are their habits of economy, their
excellence as cooks, their temperance
and their family attachments. They
are impulsive and violent, but their rev.
olutions are like thunder-storms, useful
to clear the atmosphere of bad elements,
and generally followed by moderation
under whatever regime. They are the
paradox. of nations. They live among
themselves and upon strangers at the
same time, ard there is no other case in
which a people gets so much money
from other peoples and gives SO little
money in return. They, however, give
music, plays, manners, books and cos
TUNES freely to offers, but they remain
the same. They are always Individual.
They initiate nobody except to make
somebody ridiculous. W. Formey, IN
the Philadelphia Press.

FremOnt's Ups and Downs.

There are few of any political faith
who will not approve of the appoint
ment of Gen. John G. Fremont to the
Territorial Governorship of Arizona.
His life has been unexampled in it's
great possibilities and it's conspicuous
failures. From an obscure army officer.
with ill-directed love of adventure, he
burst upon the country as a Presidential
candidate, and lost the race by nomi-
nal and always-disputed majority in
Philadelphia, in October, 1856 and from
the first leader of the Republican
party, he has long been forgot
ten in politics and entirely unfelt
In the affairs of state. Once re-
garded as one of the first millionaires of
the continent, he is now broken in fort
une and owns no part of this worlds
surface but grave. When war came
he was hurried home from Paris to ac-
cept one of the most important COM
mands in the Union, and in few
months he was degraded by those who had
been his friends and his military career
stamped with failure. He conceived
the construction of grand trans cont.
mental railway on the Southern line,
commanded the favor of Congress and
the confidence of Paris bankers, only to
be swamped in irretrievable bankruptcy,
denounced as swindler and convicted
of fraud in the criminal courts of
France. With all his prominence in the
political movements of the country his
only experience in civil trust was few
days. service as one of the first United
States Senators from California. He
has been jeered by political enemies as
the statesman who never made a
speech; the General who never fought a
battle, and the millionaire who never
had dollar; but, with ali his failures,
Gen. Fremont has deserved we'll Of the
nation, for he has generously sowed
where others have reaped, and in all the
wrongs imputed to him he has been
greatly more sinned against than sim
ming. His accomplished wife Jessie
Benton) has bravelY struggled with him
in all the sad mutations of fortune
through which they have passed, and
the education of their son has been &C.
complished by the fruits of her pen.
They will we'll grace the humble guber-
material mansion of Arizona, and Presi-
dent Hayes will be thanked for the ap-
pointment by the very many who have
grateful memories of 1856.--Phil0del-

A Suit for a MuStache.

A young gentleman of Peoria. ILL.,, has
brought suit against tonsorial artist of
that municipality for $500, which
amount, in lawful currency, he claims as
indemnity for loss and damage sustained
by reason of malpractice on the part of
defendant, the melancholy result of
which was the sacrifice of portion of
an incipient mustache, which the plain
tiff had thus far reared with tender care
and infinite solcitude. We do not
know how the court and jury will regard
this suit, whether they will treat it with
gravity or levity; but little reflection
will convince even the most thoughtless
man that the injured youth has solid
ground of complaint. In all ages of
the world the hirsute adornment of the
head and face has been regarded with
an interest amounting almost to veneer
alton. The ancient Israelites, the Arab
tribes of old and recent times, the Chi
nese and other Orientals, all shared or
share this feeling. The scriptures show
that the hairs of all heads are num-
bered. Whether the plaintiff, in this
case, has taken q census of his mus
tache, and, in his bill of particulars,
charges at given price per hair, we are
not advised. 1t is likely, however, that
his bill is for the entire mustache, for
the remaining section cannot be regard
ed as of much utility. Fractions, in
such cases, are of no account. Victims
of the careless handling of razors will
watch the progress Of this case with in
terest.- Washington Post.

l Handy Improvement in Cooking
Stoves.

The utility and convenience Of shelf attach
ment to the oven of cooking stoves is now uni
versally acknowledged by all housekeepers,
who have used or seen them, and it is matter
of choice whether the shelf is permanently at
tached to the side of the stove or opened and
closed inside of the oven by the movement of
the door. The Grand Charter Oak will here
after be constructed so as either the automatic
or permanent shelf can be ordered with any
size. Our attention has been called to circu-
lar containing a caution against the use of au-
tomato shelves, issued by certain parties who
claim to own letters patent No. 100, DOL, stating
that they have brought suit against this COM
pany for infringement on said patent, and
warning all persons not to buy or use stoves
having such shelves and made byus. We have
only this to say in regard to the matter, that ace
shall vigorously defend THIS sstit, and have no
doubt of our success in such defense, and here
by agree to protect each and eue,'y person buy
ing, selling or using Our Grand Charter Oak,
Or other stoves of our manufacture from any
damage by reason of any claim said parties can
have under said letters patent. AS our con-
struction of shelves is not only covered and
fully protected by valid letters patent owned
by us, but are acknowledged by dealers and all
others who have seen them to be much more
simple IN construction, to operate easier, and
to be less liable to get out Of order than any
other kind IN the market, and we will cheerfuy
ship sample Of our Grand Charter Oak with
an automatic shelf to any responsible dealer or
housekeeper who desires to examine it before
purchasing, and at end Of ten days, if it is not
acknowledged as having more conveniences
and being the best constructed, finest finished,
most elegantly proportional, perfectly operat
ing and heaviest cooking stove ever made or
offered for the price at which tits rapidly being
sold, it can be held subject to our order, and
we will pay all expenses. Respectfully yours,

The death of Mr.. Bryant occurred in
the month of June, as if in answer to
the expressed yearning of one of his
most beautiful poems. More than
twenty years ago a little poem of his
was published in the Philadelphia
Evening Post, then literary journal of
some celebrity. It contained six STAN
zas, under the title of ssJune, alluding
to it's blue skies and vioIets and
Songs of maids beneath the moon
With fairy laughter blent,
with other passages of an equally felicit-
GUS description. But the burden of the
poem was petition to die in the month
of June, and passionate protest against
December dissolution: F,a
a 4 cell within the frozen mold, smi 3
A coffin borne through sleet, aa 5gGa
And icy clouds above it rolled, S. " =
While fierce the tempests beat Z hg8 /
Away I will d ot think of these; 1g a ASH
Blue be the sky and soft the breeze
Earth's green beneath the feet,
And be the damp mold gently pressed
Into my narrow place of rest.
He adds, with regret peculiar to the
lover of nature, with poetic passion:
know that no more should see
The seasons glorious show,
Nor would it's brightness shine for me,
te Nor its wild music now.
But he consoles himself for this loss
with the sentiment that he shall live
again through the long, long summer
days in the grass and yiolets upon his
own grave-a sentiment which had dimly
CROPPED its way toward the surface in
manylsa human soul before, but had
never before received SO complete an
