by Mr. Colling, and there is q very evident
attempt to show that he was not the result
OF very close in-breeding. But why stop
Just as the interesting point is reached? We
may admit that the breeding Of Favorite
was not an extreme case, though his parents
were more closely related than half-brother
and sister; but if we tell. the rest of the sto-
ry-how Favorite was coupled with his own
dam, and produced the cow Young Phenix,
and how he was then coupled with his own
daughter, this same Young Phenix, and
produced the world-famed Conceive
must admit that there was not only close
in-breeding, but wonderful success.
We do not wish to be understood as rec
o%mmending the practice of line breeding to
all farmers, or even to all professional breed
ers but there are certain cases where it is
indicated and where it will produce the most
important results. Instead OF crying down
a practice that has been of such assistance
in the formation of our best breeds, it should
be the aim of a great journal to point out
its, uses, and to show why it has so often
proved disastrous. Mountaineering has
won its present position, asa valuable aid to
the breeder, against one of the most deep
seated %prejudlces that has ever filled the hui
man mind. We now understand why, and
how, itlhas produced its, effect, and, although
it may not be possible for it to enable us to
achieve as great progress in the future as in
the past, the intelligent breeder will contin-
to look at it as Indispensable in certain
contingencies.-D. e. Salmon, D. Y. NJ, in

All meat-producing animals should be
killed when they are Ill the coolest state, or
when respiration is the least active. Their
flesh will then keep muchlonger fresh. and
be more beautiful, sweet and heal}hful.
When killed in u heated condition, or imme-
diately after a hard drive, the flesh will take
longer to cool through, spoil sooner, while
the flesh and fat will have q dark, f~eyerisll
look, caused by being full of blood, and
hence will not be so inviting in appearance
or so healthy as food.

A Mighty Mean Trick.

Low skeptical fellows are always eX-
posing spirits. The mediums scarcely
get hold of good thing, when some
body comes grab game of some sort
and breaks up the seance. 1t is not
very long since even Daniel Webster
was treated with signal discourtesy. A
base-m minded, scheming man obtained
entrance to a seance where Daniel Web
ster habitually materialized, walking
from the cabinet across the room, look
ing as he had looked in life, but making
not the slightest sound of a footstep.
The base-minded man tossed number
of large trunk tacks, which have very
large heads and always fall point up
ward, upon the floor where Daniel Web
ster always walked. The consequence
was that when the expounder of the
Constitution came out of the cabinet
and began to walk across the room he
suddenly paused, and lifting one foot
applied his hand to the sole thereof
Upon taking another step he paused
again, and in low voice remarked
1SOuch!" Shortly after this he lost hi!
balance and sat down on the floor, anC
Immediately became very profane, ant

Chinese Exercising the Devil.

In Chinatown there is Chinaman
who is afflicted with peculiar sickness,
which is probably the result OF a free
and continuous indulgence in opium
smoking. He is perfectly conscious but
has horrible visions, which he describes
to his friends and visitors of his own
race with great minuteness. He is not
violent, but the other Cinnamon assert
that he is possessed of a devil, and, for
fear that the evil spirit may get loose
and make things warm in Chinatown,
they have chained the bedeviled Mon
golian fast to his bed, and the entire
population of Chinatown are engaged
in the attempt to exercise the devil by
means of firecrackers and joss paper

The Benefit Of Laughing.

DIR. Greene, in his "Problem OF
Health,n says there is not the renotest
corner or inlet of the minute blood yes
sells of the human body that does not
feel some wavelet from the conyalsion
occasioned by good hearty laughter.
The life principle, or the inward man;
is shaken to its innermost depths, send
ing new tides of life and strength to the
surface, thus materially tending to IN
sure good health to the persons who
moderately indulge therein. The blood
moves more rapidly and conveys dif.
ferent impression to all the organs OF
the body as it visits them on that par
ticular mystic journey when the naIz.is
laughing, from what it does st other
times. For this reason every good
hearty laugh in which a person indulges
tends to lengthen his life, conveying, IS
it does, new and distinct stimulus 70 the
vital forces. Doubtless the time viii
come when physicians, conceding more
Importance than they do now 70 the M
fiuence of the mind upon the vital
forces of the body, will make their pre-
scriptions more with referenee 70 5he
condition of the mind, and les to drugs
for the body; and in so doing VIII and
the best and most effective methods OF
producing the required effect upon the
patient.

Proceedings Of the Potter Investiga-

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 3.-In the hur-
ry of selecting from notes of Mr.. Anderson's
testimony, Saturday, some interesting points
were overlooked by the reporter. Re.
ferring to an interview with the President
shortly after his (Andcrson's) arrival in
Washington, witness testified: -
"I went TO the President with Mr. Darraii
and Mr.. Nash"
o. State what passed there. A. had prt.
vate letter to the President from iriehu o'
his in Ohio.
o. What was his name? A Mr.. II. B. Conn,
Steubenville, Ohio, Herald ,
O. Were you present at the interview with
the President? A. Yes, sir
O. What took place there and what was
said to you? what statements were made Dy
you, by Mr.. Darrall, or by Mr.. Nash? A. Mr.:
Darrall made no statements. DIR. DarTalI and
Mr.. Nash urged my consulshtp, and after they
had made their arguments, DIR. Darrall pre-
sented this letter from MIR. Conn. The Pres
ident picked 1t up, read ii over very carefully
put it in his pocket and made memoran,
dunn, "Please appoint this gentleman
to consulship in warm climate: this
in special case," signed 1t X. Is. H., and !
took it over to the State Department and
rled ii there. Witness stated he went to the
Treasury Department., but failed to see MIR.
and sent in card. Mr.. sherman pretended
not to recognize him. and, upon stating his
mission, Mr.. Sherman refused point blank tc
use his influence to procure witness q posi-
tion, and witness thereupon withdrew. This
was his last interview with Mr.. Sherman.
In regard to n former interview with the
President, Anderson testified that in &C
cordance with Senator Matthews's advice hs
called to see the President, who told him M
had made no promises, and, therefore, mac
none to fulfill. The President then excuseS
himself.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The cross-eXam-
ination of James +. Anderson was conducted
by Representative Reed. 1t was largely de-
voted to the endeavor to convict the witness
of discrepancies between his testimony last
Saturday and the statement heretofore made
by him before the Senate Investigating Com
mittee who visited Louisiana last year. The
bulk of the examination was as to the minor
details, which would not be OF any general
interest to the public. The contracts be-
tween Anderson and Nash and between An
derson and Weber were largely used for the
purpose of showing the contradictions and
discrepancies and a Disregard OF the moral
considerations on the part of the Witness
For instance: He had stated on saturday IN
relation to the Nash contract that at the
time of its date he had no evidence OF fraud
I'm his possession, and had not pretended
that he had any, yet the contract recites that
he is to suppress the evidence showing that
East Feliciana had been fairly carried by the
Democratic party; consideration of such
suppression being that Nash was to secure
for him the position of Naval Officer. He was
pressed on that point as to whether his state
ment on Saturday that he had no such evil
dence was correct or not, and he asserted
chat il was except that he had the sherman
letter I'm his pocket at the time, If it could be
constructed into such evidence, and also ex-
cept that he had knowledge that the vote OF
the State was to be thrown out on forged
pretext. Witness acknowledged that he had
intentionally and under oath, misled the
senate Investigating Committee while at
New Orleans, for the purpose OF carrying out
the bargain he had entered into with the Be-
publicans.
