Short.Horns and HeresordsT

Sh0rt-HOrns and HerefOrds.-The
Rural Neag Yorker says that both in this
country and across the Atlantic, the
opinion has Of late years been gaining
strength that too much weight has been
attached by breeders of Short-horns to
fancy strains, to the neglect of proper re-
gard for the individual merits Of each
animal. Hence the enormous price that
has often been given for some animal of
a particular family, whose conformation
was inferior to that of much cheaper
Short-horn, belonging to family less
highly esteemed. So far has this craze
been carried, that many excellent judges
of stock maintain that within the last
few years the race of Shorthorns has
actually deteriorated instead of improv-
ing. In England special attention has
recently been drawn to this subject by
the triumph of two Herefords over all
other breeds, at the Bath and West of
England Cattle Show, held at Oxford.
OF Herefords there were only three at
the fair, while of the Short-herns there
were thirteen of the bull class alone :;
yet the Hereford bull, Grateful, was
awarded the prize over the Short-horn,
Sir Arthur Ingram, an animal famous
at other shows and here selected by the
Short-horn judges as the best of his
race. In the same manner the conclave
of judges awarded to the Hereford
heifer, I,eonora, the championship over
the Short-horn, Diana, confessedly the
best of the Short-horns at the fair. 1t
would seem that while the admirers of
Short-horns have lately been content to
dwell on what their favorites have been,
the breeders Of Herefords have been dill
gently selecting and mating the best
individual animals SO as to advance the
standard of the breed.
The Hog.Ch0lera Commissioned
the close of the last session of Congress
the sum Of ten thousand dollars was ap-
propriated for the expenses of COM
mission to investigate contagious dis
eases of swine in the United States.
Under this provision a commission, con-
sisting of the well-known D. E. Sal
mon, D. V. NJ; Prof. J. Laws of Cor
nell University; Prof. H. J. Detmers, of
Chicago, and five other veterinarians,
has been appointed by the Department
of Agriculture, and the members have
received full instructions which are to
govern their investigations. 1t appears
that each is to pursue his researches in
dependent of the others, in line indi-
Gated by the Department, and this fact,
coupled with the paltry sum that will
fall to the lot of each investigator, rem
ders it hardly likely that any beneficial
discoveries will result from the project.
Apart from the loss of advantages of
combined study, the remuneration is so
small that neither of the gentlemen can
afford to neglect his professional bust
ness, requirement necessary to secure
the best chance of success in his investi-
CATION. Had the whole appropriation
been placed at the disposal of the three
well-known experts mentioned above,
our hopes of successful issue would
have been stronger.

Of this kind of life lost its charms,
when he started out with circus
company. About three years since
he returned and commenced the
study of medicine. His friends felt
much encouraged, and were led to
believe his better nature had gained
the mastery. BY hard study he
graduated at the Sterling Medical
College about one year since, and
commenced practice at Harrisburg.
BY ystrict attention to his profession
he made good impression, gained
the esteem and won the affection. of
Miss Mckinley, a young and beau
tiful lady, possessed of considerable
wealth in her own right. Reports
of Morgan's former habits reached
the ears of the lady's parents, who
refused to give their consent to the
marriage. The lady was warned,
but it WAS the same old story. An
elepement was planned and carried
out in all its appointments. Not
long after, the doctor fell into his
former habits Of dissipation, which
resulted in domestic troubles, the
wife returning to the home of her
mother. 1t was to gain the posses,

NapoIeOn'a Predictions on Russia.

quote an opinion given by Napoleon
at st. Helena, in 1917, to his sur

added he, Russia will have Con-
stsntinople, the greatest part of
Turkey, and all Greece. This |

already taken place. Almost all
the cajoling and Aattering which
Alexander practiced toward me was
to gain my assent to effect this OBJ
ject. l would not consent, foresee-
ing that the equilibrium of Europe
would be destroyed.
In the natural course of things,
in few years Turkey must fall to
Russia. The greatest part of her
population are Greeks, who, you
may say, are Russians. The powers
it would iDjure, and who could op-
pose it, are England, France, Prus-
sia and Austria. Now, as to Aus
tria, it would be very easy for Russia
to engage her assistance by giving
her SerVia and other provinces bor-
dering upon Austrian dominions,
reaching near to Cous,antinople.
The only hypothesis that France
and England may ever be allied
with sincerity will be in order to
prevent this. But even this alliance
will not avail. France, England and
Prussia united can not prevent it.
Russia and Austria can at any time
effect it. Once mistress of Constan-
tinople, Russia gets all the COM
merce of the Mediterranean, be-
comes a great naval power, and
heaven knows what may happen.
She quarrels with you, marches off
to India an army of 10000 good
soldiers, which to Russia is nothing,
and 100000 canaile, Cossacks and
Others, and England loses India.
"Aboye all other powers, Russia

he found her prisoner, locked in
her own room, and both parents
met his appeals with steady refusal
to acknowledge his authority. The
girl was but a child, they said, not
conscious Of her own mind, and
they should resist with every posi-
bic form Of law any attempt to re-
move her from their custody. The
husband, urging that they loved
each other, was told that she whom
he had made his wife in name only
now bitterly regretted her senti-
mental folly and wished to see him
nomore. Astonished at this assertion
the young man passionately impugn-
ed its truth. Would he be generous
enough to give her up, he was
asked, if she herself assured him
of her desire to that effect? Chiv-
alrously, though too raShly perhaps,
he agreed to do so, confident, un-
doubtedly, that she would prove
true to him. And then came the
most extraordinary scene Of this
little drama. A married sister

intensity the resemblance, hurriedly
entered the room where the lieuten
ant was present, with a friend for 8

her to be the wife whom he agita
tedly called by name, the deceived
husband beg. ed her to 90 with
him. =" | wish to remain with my
