The remains were removed to his fathers
residence, preparations for the funeral
were completed and a vigorous wake was
inaugurated In the midst of the melan,
choly festivities incident to the latter
ceremony, Julius Walch came upon the
scene with pretty well authenticated
claim for the body as that of his brother
who had also been drowned in East River
at time and place almost identical with
the drowning of young Stapleton. A
crowd, however, which had gathered to
participate in the wake, resisted his pre-
tentions with such earnestness that blows
must necessarily have resulted had
not the undertaken, whose fees
were in jeopardy, forbidden the
removal of the remains by either party.
Both claimants made affidavits of their
points of identity, which in both cases
corresponded to the body in dispute In
the meanwhile, however, the East River
produced farther testimony, which was
decisive and satisfactory, in the shape of
another body, recognized at once as that
of young Stapleton beyond the shadow
of doubt. Here all dissensions and
pretensions might have ended, but the
brought in bill of expenses
for waking" the body two nights, and
insisted upon its payment This was
finally compromised, and each party was
made happy in the possession of its own
corpse, the merry Irishmen exulting over
the fact that Walch was the first German
who had ever enjoyed the benefits Of a
real Irish wake.

UTAH ANTs.-Among the many curiosi-
ties of Utah, the red and black ant is ex-
celled by none. One Of those ants, weighing
only one-fourth of grain troy can draw
four grains, or sixteen times its own weight,
with apparent ease. As a warrior, its cour-
age is wonderful. The other day / wit
messed an attack of four ants, one after an
other, on a green worm, and each retired
from the conflict badly wounded,
the worm resisting the attack vigor-
ously. The wounded ants meeting
companions, reported their troubles,
and soon seven ants were seen advancingin
a line of battle on his worship, when hard
battle took place. The worm made frantic
efforts to relieve himself, but all in vain.
In one minute from the time Of the attack
the worm was lifcless, the ants still holding
to him. placed them in water, when to
all appearances they became lifeless, but
still held their grip on the worm, | then
placed them in the warm rays of the sun for
ten minutes, when they were all right again
and hauled their victim off to their hill-

A BILL is before the Georgia Legis-
lature for the adoption of the Moffett
bell punch in collecting a State tax from
hquor-dealers, and for the appropriation
of the money thus collected to the sup
port of the common schools. The bill
provides for four different kinds of
license one for wholesale dealers, one
for wholesale and retail dealers, one for
retail dealers, and another for bar
rooms. Each branch of the trade is re-
quired to pay a specific license fee ac-
cording to the population of the town
or city, in addition to which fee, bar
rooms, where liquor is drunk on the
premises, are required to keep a bell
punch register, and pay tax upon each
drink of wine, spirits, or malt liquors so
registered. The proposed measure is
exciting much discussion.

In his recent speech before the great
international Dairymen's Fair in New
York, Gen. Butler devoted considerable
space to a discussion of the value of
small farms and more thorough tillage.
This he demonstrated by comparison
of the productions of our soil with
those of France, which, with not SO
much area as the State of Texas, raises
more wheat than the whole United
States, the product of wheat in France
in 1868 reaching 350,000,000 bushels,
while the total in the United States was
only 24O,OOO,O00. In 1860, when only
we can get accurate statistics OF the
products of both countries, France pro-
duced 230,OO0,000 bushels of oats,
against our 170000,000; 70,000,000
bushels of rye, against our 20,000,000;
6O,000,000 of barley, against 100000;
and 100000 of buckwheat, against
100000. Nor was she without the
products of grazing and pasture lands,
which are supposed to be the necessity
requiring our extended farms. She had
100000 horses and mules, against our
4,25O,O0O; 100000 neat cattle, against
our 100000; 100000 sheep, against
24,OOO,0OO; and 100000 swine, against
100000.

THE DEAD YEAR.

Tho year
Has gone. and with IL many glorious throng
of happy dreams. Its mark il on each brow.
Its shadow i'm each heart. In its swift course
1t waved its scepter DER the beautiful,
And they are not. IL laid its pallid hand
Upon the strong man, and the naughty form
Is fallen and the flashing eye is dim.
IL trod the hall of revelry, where thronged
The bright and joyous, and the fearful wall
OF striker ones is heard where erst the song
And reckless shout resounded. IL passed DER
The battle-pain, where sword and spear and shield
Flashed in the light of midday-and the strength
OF serried hosts is shivered, aud the grass.
Green from the soil OF carnage, waves above
The crushed and moldering skeleton. Ii came
And faded like wreath OF mist at eve;
Yet ere il melted i'm the viewless air
Ii heralded its millions 10 their home
In the dim land of dreams.

Few persons realize the magnitude
and increasing importance of the dairy
industry in America. A few figures
will show somewhat the extent of this
business. There are more than 13,000,-
600 COWS in the United States, and the
value of the land and stock employed
in furnishing milk, butter and cheese is
estimated at 81 ,3OO,0OO,OO0. The annual
production of cheese in the United
States is estimated at 350,000,000
pounds, and of butter 1,5OO,000,000
pounds. Over 5000 factories are en-
gagged in the manufacture of these arti-
