RAISING RuFFALoEs.--Ezra Miller, Of
Patterson, N. j., has tested the idea Of do.
mesticating buffaloes, and now he says that
those animals can be kept on farm with
profit. The cost of raising them for beef
is repaid by the robes taken from their car
oasses, and the sale of the meat is therefore
clear gain. If kept for milk, they will yield
nearly as much of the liquid as common
COWS, and the buffalo milk and butter will be
richer. A buffalo will live on as little food
as sheep, and will fatten finely on the fod-
der and feed necessary for an ordinary milk
COW. .. .-.'
Mr.. Miller killed buffalo that was raised
on his place, and cuts from the carcass were
served up to party Of guests, and all pro-
nounced the meat to be delicious.
A WOODEN WATcH.-The Reading, Pa,
Eagle says that N. Doriot, Frenchman from
Bristol, Tenn, now in Reading has great
curiosity in the shape of wooden watch,
made by himself. 1t is of the ordinary size,
but only weighs half an ounce. 1t is open,
faced, and the dial-plate is made of the horn
of buffalo killed on the. Texas Pacific Rail-
road by being run over by an engine. The
outside is of mottled brown olive wood from
Jerusalem, and all of the works, except
few of the more important wheels, are of box
wood. The watch keeps excellent time. It
was made last year by Doriot, who is jew
eller, aud who carries it as time keeper.

FIXING THE THERMOMETER.

Gen. Shattuc, of the Atlantic & Great
Western Railway, has in his Office boy Of
all work who is usually most excellent lad,
prompt and reliable in all things, and like a
pocket in shirt, very handy to have around.
The other morning Gen. Shattuc came in and
found the office cold, and the fire struggling
along helplessly like poor man with large
family. He spoke to the boy and told him
he must be little brisker, and not let it hap
pen again or he would have to shake him up.
The next day the same aspect was presented
and the room was as cold as Presbyterian
prayer-meeting in February, while the boy
was scared almost out of bis Sunday.school
training. u. .........- ... .......,
"Well, this is pretty Co." said Gen. Shat

this room warm when 1 got DOWN."

"Now listen to me. III give you another
trial, and if you don't come up to time and
have that thermometer up to seventy degrees
I'll get another boy in your place." and the
General pulled down his vest and chucked
his cigar stub into the expectoroon.
Another morning came and all was lovely,
the thermometer stood high and so did Louie.
After while some one discovered that the
thermometer had been tampered with, and
Louie was called. .......... =.

body fooling with this machine ?" ...'.
"No, sir, I don't know Of anybody" stam-

The MEXICAN SOLDIERS EXTRA Pay
In relation to the law recently passed by
Congress giving three months extra pay to
the soldiers of the Mexican war, the Charles
ton News and Courier says:
"The law gives three months extra pay to
every soldier commissioned as we'll as enlist
ed, who has not already received it, and to
every officer and man of the navy, marine
corps and revenue marine who actually serv-
cd in the war with Mexico But whether in
teutionally or not, Congress has overlooked
the fact that large proportion of Mexican
veterans we're from States that either seeded
in 1861, or rendered laid and comfort to the
enemy" during the rebellion, and that, as a
rule, the claims of persons from those States
will be barred by Section l, ,4S9 of the Revised
Statutes, which makes it unlawful for any
officer to pay any account, claim or demand
against the United States which accrued or
existed prior to April 10, 1861, in favor Of
any person who promoted, encouraged or in
any manner sustained the late rebellion, or In

stead of "toasting them in the oven" soak
them in warm water till thoroughly warm,
and then dash cool or cold water over them,
rubbing them thoroughly with crash towel,
till reaction occurs; using the hesh.brush

generally warm the feet, by improving the
circulation of the blood. The brush, used on

the feet, also, be put in the warm rays Of the

by frequent washing.-Dr. J. H. Hanctord.

gradually come to be applied to whatever re.

of gold and silver coin. In England, as late

the currency was of two kinds, the olive" and

they soon after retire, and sleep soundly

The official records show that the regular
army of fifteen regiments was temporarily in:
creased by the addition of eight regiments Of
infantry, one of dragons and one of volti-
geurs, and that these temporary troops were
disbanded at the close of the war. Having
been "discharged," they were entitled to the
extra pay, and very few, if any, remain un:
paid. The volunteer force consisted of 746
companies, of which 256 companies were fur
nished by Northern and Western States, 292
by the ten Southern States that seeded, and
1913 by Maryland, the District of Columbia,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, which fur
nished recruits for both the Federal and Con-
federate armies. Claimants belonging to the
49O companies raised ia the Southern States,
the District of Columbia and the four doubt
ful States will, therefore, have to furnish proof
of loyalty, in addition to all the other evil

STEPHEN GIRARD's TAcr1cs.-A man
who had just set up in the hardware business,
and who had been clerk where Girard had
traded, applied to him for share of his pat
ronage. Girard bought of him, and when he
broug ght in the bill, found fault and marked
down the prices.
"Cask of nails" said he, (which was of.
fered for so-and.so, you have charged so-and-
so, and you must take it off"
81 cannot do it," said the merchant.
"You must do it" said Girard.
II cannot, and will not" said the young
merchant
Girard bolted out of the door, apparently
in rage, and soon after sent check for the
whole bill. The young man began to relent
and say to himself: perhaps he Das offered
them at that price. But it is all over now;
I am sorry did not reduce the bill and get
it out of him in something else. His trade
would have been worth good deal to me-"
By-and.by Girard came in again, and gave
him another job The young man was very
courteous, and said:
81 was almost sorry l did not reduce your
former BILL"
"Reduce BILL" said Girard chad you
done it, l would never trade with you again.
I meant to see if you cheated me-"
A SHREwD M1N1srER.-A shrewd and
popular minister had just finished an exhor-
tation strongly recommending the support Of
a very meritorious institution. The congre-
cation was numerous, and the chapel was
crowded to excess. The discourse being fin
ished, the plate was about to be handed round
to the respective pews, when the preacher
made this short address to the waiting con-
gregation: "From the sympathy have wit
messed in your countenances, and the strict
attention you have honored me with. there is
one thing am afraid Of, that some of you
may be inclined to give too much. Now, it
is my duty to inform you that justice, though
not so pleasant, should always be prior vir-
tue to generosity; therefore, as you will be
Immediately waited upon in your respective
pews, I wish to have it thoroughly under

any thing into the plate who cannot pay his
debts" We need not add that this pro-
duced most overaowing collection.

and kind, however lavish of her benefits
could supply that mothers place in his heart
but this friend, he thought, could come near
er doing so than any one else. And he ~o'
very lonely, there was no doubt of that
Would he not be happier in the society Of
such friend p
Revolving thus the pros and cons, he decid'
ed that at all events it would be proper for
him not to delay in making an acknowleg'
ment of Madame d'Arcy's offer. He there
fore wrote the following note, and dispatched
it by the hands of servant;
"Your letter, dear Madame, has been re-
ceived, and read with feelings almost impossi,

"a good nights rest" he said to himself,
with his usual philosophy, twill enable me to
arrive at proper conclusion. l am too be-
wildered now to look at the matter as calmly
as ought. Such a question is too important
to be settled rashly and in moment Of ex-
element"
And sleep he did, and spnndly, while
through his rest there foated golden dreams.
Madame d'Arcy's nervousness was tar
greater than his, She feared, from the tone
of his note, that he contemplated refusal,
and was preparing himself to soften it in the
most efectual way. Although she had her.
self requested him to take time in his decis-
ion, she now argued unfavorably from the
delay.
