cheap, and will be even less i'll price than
heretofore. as all who employ teams are fast
learning that q heavy, strong team costs no
more to keep than q light, poor one, but
even less, and can do much more service. A
farmer should have, anyway, one heavy,
strong team. He may own a small, light
span, but for blowing and general use, the
heavy team, that seldom is urged beyond a
fast walk OF the road, and will take a four
teen or sixteen inch pillow and go all day
without evidence of WEAKNESS, is the one to
depend on. The market is full of semi-fast

Pure-blooded Norman or Clydesdales may
not be the best in their exclusive nature,
but by crossing them with good native
western stock can be produced a superior

ginning but will bring larger returns in the
end. Good horses, good cattle, good sheep

DAIRY PRODUCTS AT TIE PARIS EXPO
crrurnNr

SITION.

ollACN.
The exhibit of dairy products at the Paris
Exposition will give an idea Of the extent
and Importance of the dairy interest at the
present time. Butter and cheese are rapid
ly becoming constant articles in the bill of
fare in all civilized countries. We clip the
following condensed report from the Amer
lean Dairy,nan
"Holland makes a fine display of her va
riousc heeses,, particularly in the exhibits of
Messrs. Van Rossen, of Rotterdam. NJ.
Wiser, of Uitgeest. exhibits a sample of
coloring material largely used in Holland
and in the north of England. A singular
feature Of the Dutch exhibit is the display
OF liquid butter, which is catalogucd as bo-
%,erolic, and of which we have no further
explanation than the statement that tastes
like butter and is much cheaper to use. In
the annexes of the section, of Great Britain.
in the midst of luxurious agricultural ma
chine of all sorts are found numerous
cheese presses of a variety of makes, and
several models of %clurns. In the main
buildings are found Stilton cheeses in tin
boxes and samples of condensed and granu-
lated milk credited to Hooker's Cream
milk Company, of London. Particularly
deserving OF notice is the exhibit of Mr.. Il.
j. Clancy, director of the Munster dairy de-
pots, and himself famous on the other side
OF the Atlantic as a prominent exporter of
Cork butter. His house was established in
1870, and down to December 3lst, 1877. it
has exported II. 3zb,oOO pounds. America
surprised everybody by sending no dairy
machinery or labor-saving apparatus what
ever to the Exposition. The in%convenient
stringency of the French patent laws is
said to be the reason of this unfortunate
omission. Mr.. Halter, of Philadelphia, dis
plays some very good sailed butter, which
nc offers to furnish at a very low price, free
OF transportation charges anywhere in
France. In the section of Sweden and Nor
way there is neither butter nor cheese dis
played. The exhibits of those countries
consist of dairy implements from Stock
holm, coloring material, and condensed
milk from Christiana. Italy is represented
by a large assortment of cheese of diverse
names, and som OF huge size. Italian but |

SMALL HORSES.

Perhaps it would be better expressed and
more to the point to say heavier horses are
the need OF the times. T,rotting horses,
.%l'acers, runners, or any other gait, are all
right in their places, but the majority of
horses are for labor and not for show; they
are on duty as producers, and are valuable
in proportion us they can do work they
are the motive power on the farm, the high
way, and in the large towns and cities-in-
dispensable as bread and butter. Prices OF

~GOLDEN-FOOTED SHEEP.

A question which should come home to
every stock raiser is the fact that we have
to pay $40, DOC, 900 annually for foreign wool
for manufacturing purposes. This should
be raised at home. We should have at least
one more head Of sheep tor every dollar
now paid for foreign wool. Every portion
Of the United States is adapted to the
growth OF wool. The Prairie Farmer here
tofore called especial attention to the capa-
bilities OF the hill country OF the South for
the production Of sheep, wool and mutton.
1t may be to many of our Southern States
what beef and pork are to the west-a mine
of wealth, ana at the same time the means
of improving and enriching the soil. In the
east many sections of country, heretofore
noted Tor wool, are now finding more profit
in other agricultural directions. In the
West meat products and the dairy are
prominent industries. Both these sections
OF the country are, however, large sheep
producers. The South may well wheel into
line and grasp this source of wealth. But
TO do this su cessfnliy vagrant and other
sheep killing dogs must be curtailed. Texas,
Colorado, California, and some of the Ter
ritories west, are making rapid strides in
the production OF wool, and already their
grade ~tlecces, the product of long wooded
rams, as Cotswold and Leicester and the
native Merino and other breeds, are eagerly
sought for by eastern buyers for dclaine
and other combing woods. The half and
three-quarters blood, from Cotswola and
Leicester upon Merinos, will bring from 4
to Z cents per pound more than That of pure
Merinos. and this, for the reason thai comb
ing woods are, and tor years have been, in
demand. In relation to this matter we may
state that at one OF the New York State
fairs, the produce of the first cross of Cots
void on Merino gave a fleece five inches
long, nearly as fine as Merino, and as easily
combed us Cotswold. These woods are most
valuable for delaines and other feminine ia
brics. There is money in the. extension of
the wool interest. One thing necessary is
Tor lhe grower to post himself upon the ~
cessities of the case, and that is easily done.
All that is required is to study the animals
on their merits, in connection with what
they are intended for, to read understands
ingly those journals which give the best di-
gested matter on the subject, and to use
tact in breeding such as will be possessed
by intelligent Observation-Disclosures Fermcr.

The exports of slaughtered beef and live
stock to England continue large, and are
destined to increase, now that experiment
has ended in success. Our competition in
England has resulted in stopping the estab-
lishment at Rockhampton, one OF the prin-
cipal places in Australia for Strengthening
and preserving the canned meats sold in
Great Britain. The cattle dealers require
$50 per 100 pounds, for the new material,
but the managers of the works will only
pay $3.50. and there are few, if any, stock
owners willing to sell their herds at this
rate.

INSULTING AN EX-MEMPHIAN.
How the Chief of Police OF Little Rock
Arkansas, Treats the M'Ginnises
and Gassaways.

The Little Rock (Ark) Democrat, of the
fifteenth, contains the following concerning a
noted ex- Memphian and scalping hack driver:
This morning two noted men left the city,
Fatty M'Ginnis and Ben Gassaway. The
police turned out in force to see the last OF
these celebrities, and though no music pre-
coded them, the procession moved on with a
kind of majesty that few men enjoy when
viewed from over the shoulder. Chief Counts
mounted a barrel when the procession stopped
at the river, and spoke slowly, deliberately
and impressively, as follows:
"'GENTLEMEN-In life we must all pre-
pare ourselves for the severest trials; in death
we must face the despoIler with a smile.
am actually grieved to see you torn from US,
but the mandates land mandates back a long
way) of the past, coupled with fear OF the
future, demand that you should go over to
Argenta and commence life anew. Go. Nav
you always remember the good advice given
you on this side of the river. but on pam of
being violently dragged before the grand
jury never again trust yourselves in a skiff
that is bound for this shore
'The skiff pulled off and the careers of the
two dignitaries, let us hope, closed their ex-
istence so far as this city is concerned. There
is in all cities, and especially in Little Rock,
a class of men who would reflect shame on
an unrevised proof-sheet of the lower regions
These men. though, we are glad to say, are
becoming fewer every day. The police force,
under its excellent management, Is working
a complete revolution, and before a great
while, it is reasonable to believe, Little Rock
will be almost freed from those sharks that
have given the city such prominence on the
map of bully towns.

BOSTON VS.. PROVIDENCE.
BosToN, May l5.-The Boston and Provi-
dence clubs met for the fifth tune this season
at Providence to-day, and the game resulted
In a most disastrous defeat to the champions
by a score of "a to ). The Bostons played
steadily to the close, not appearing at all de-
moralized, but playing against hard luck.
The fielding and batting of O'Rourke and
Snyder, of the Bostons, and the similar play
ing of York, Hines and Cary, of the Provi-
dences, were the especial features of the
game. Earned runs-Providence 10; Bos-

FOREST CITY VS.. ERIE.
CLEVELAND, May lo.-Ihe second match
game of baseball between the Forest City
and Erie clubs took place this afternoon.
Nothing was made until the seventh inning,
when the Enes scored 1, in the eighth 3. and
in the ninth l. Total-Forest Citys, 3;
Fries, z. The loss of the game to the Forest
Citys is chargeable to the wild throwing by
Gross, Phillips and Morton. Runs earned
Forest Citys, l; Fries, 0. The first umpire
was relieved at the end of the third inning
on account of poor judgment in his decisions.
The two clubs will try conclusions again TO-
morrow, and it is to be hoped for the future
prospects of the Cleveland club that they
will make better showing.

The Apollinaris natural mineral water has
SO steadily and so surely gained favor with
the American people that its sale in this
country is rapidly approaching the immense
sale in England, where the consumption
amounts to five million bottles annually. This
is not to be wondered at, when we think for
how long time we have suffered for want of
a water not tainted with impurities, and
when it has become an established fact in
dorsed by leading physicians, that the Apol-
inaris stands alone the article to meet that
want. Both luxury and health are contained
in the agreeable and wholesome qualities of
this water, and, while the palate of the most
fastidious is pleased with its purity and de-
licious flavor, 1T is also an aid to digestion,
and the most beneficial water the dyspeptic
can use. Only those who have used the Apol-
linaris can appreciate what it is, and we
would advise such of our readers who have
heard of, but not tasted this queen of
table waters to get bottle at once.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Our Public Schools,

EDITORS APPEAL-There is no branch of
our city government In which our people have
more pride than In the admirable admins
tration of its educational department. Midst
the financial embarrassments attending every
other municipal interest, the clear headed,
cautious school board have sAillfully avoided
all serious financial troubles, and the next
scholastic year will open with no debt to dis
turb them. 1t is true that, in order to keep
out of debt, the board had to drop one month
from the present year, and, as consequence,
teachers will be to that extent incommoded.
But when the issue was either to continue
the session and incur heavy debt, or shorten
the term and be easy-nay, when the issue
might shave been the sacrifice of the high
school-probably not one citizen in one hum
bred will hesitate to indorse the action of the
board. Our people are so overrldden with
taxes of all kinds that they feel their very
substance is being eaten away. Nearly every
session of the municipal authorities is greeted
with mandamus of one kind or another,
until the aldermen and council must surely
meet in fear and trembling. The result is
that taxpayers don't know what is ahead of
them in the shape of burdens. The
board of education evidently considered all
these things; and this firm resolve not to add
to the taxpayers troubles one dime that can
possibly be avoided must meet with general
approval. Much of these oppressive taxes
have to be paid by the parents of children at
the public schools; parents unable to send
their children to private schools; parents upon
whom these taxes fall more heavily than upon
any other class of our citizens. To do any
thing that would entail an additional cost of
one dime upon them would be a hardship
peculiarly trying just now. No man under
stands these better than Colonel Leath, the
very efficient superintendent of our public
city schools, whose years, qualifications, ex-
perience and social standing emphaticaly de-
clare him 1.-THE right man in the right place."
and while looking to the interests of the
schools, no ore knows better than he how
heavily any little item of expense will weigh
upon the taxpayers, and perhaps ultimately
cause them to think the schools burden.
The board of education, the superintendent
and1the teachers, all realize the fact that, Just
now. when every interest in the land is so de-
pressed, the best policy is to avoid all debt
and sail near shore. To this the people
heartily say AMEN.

Pettengill's Newspaper Directory and Ad-
Yertiser'S Handbook for 1873.

If any doubt existed in the journalistic or
business mind anywhere that a newspaper
directory could be fabricated which would
come up tt the standard of the age in its en-
tire adaptation to the wants of advertisers
and newspaper publishers, Mr.. Pettengill has
dissolved it. His Directory for 1878 is, to
begin with, a marvel of nestness and COM
pleteness. 1t contains general and special
information of eight thousand six hundred
and fifteen newspapers. The lists are given
by States, in geographical sections, and by
counties. There are also lists of classes, such
as dailies, weeklies, monthlies, religious, ag-
rlcultural and horticultural The book is

of the status and claims of every paper re-

THE NASHVILLE SPORTS.
The Chief Of Police Ordered to sup.
press Gaming Houses and Arrest
the Iumates-The Memphis
Authorities seeking
InfOrmatian.

Nashville Banner, 10Th: The action oil
the police and workhouse committee last
night IN concurring with the opinion of the
city attorney in regard to suppressing gam
bling establishments, has caused much I'M
easiness among the sporting fraternity. By
request Captain Yater appeared before the
committee and gave some very important in
formation.
Mr.. Wrenne, member of the committee,
seems to be extremely anxious to have the
matter placed under the cognizance Of the
committee. He offered the following resolu-
tons last night, which, after some discussion,
were adopted:
Be it resolved by the mayor and police COM
n,tttee, That the captain of police, and any
member of the force, are hereby directed to
enforce section 8, chapter 70, and section 80
of the city digest, as well as all other mu-
nicipal ordinances and State laws looking to
the suppression of gambling houses, and to
the end that this may be effectually done, it
is hereby made the duty of the captain of the
police, and each and every member OF said
police force. to make inquiry and search for
all gaming-houses and gambling establish
ments within the limits of this city at all
times and places.
Be it further resolred, That if said captain
or any member of said police force shall fail
or refuse to enforce the law as above de-
scribed, charges shall be preferred against
him, and upon conviction he shall be dis
missed from the force.
The members of this committee do not ia
tend this first attempt to break up gambling
in the city to be considered as a scare, but on
the contrary, all who visit the gambling in
situations in the city will be held liable to a
fine and the costs. Messrs. Wrenne, Stahl-
man and Byrne, who are members of the
committee, seem determined to put stop to
gambling in Nashville.
The chairman declared it to be the sense of
the members of the committee that Captain
Yater should go on at once upon the dis
charge of his duty in executing the law as
cited by City Attorney NJ 'Alister, and to dis
charge this duty as quickly and speedily as
possible. 1t is generally understood that the
first house that is raided, the proprietors
thereof will test the matter before the courts.
Some rather lively times may be looked for
soon. The opinion Of City-Attorney M Ais
ter is thought to be very clear and able
document, and the police committee have re-
ceived an application for copy of it from
the city officials of Memphis.
