A WHOLE YEARS Work GoNE.-Recently a native
f~rosidiDg at South Kona, Hawaii, visited Honolulu
for the purpose of selling his crop Of ava root This
done, with his cash amounting to some $50 in a
bag, he got into an express wagon and proceeded TO
the stermeT LikeTite'S dock, and went on board that
vessel, forgetting all about his bag Of money which
had been left in the wagon. Arrived at Hawaii he
wrote to the driver of the express-man. but has re-
ceived no answer. He had better come in person, if
he expects ever to see his coin again.

The City vs.. the Country Paper.

The other day an old respectable citizen
came into our Office and after paying his
last years subscription, took seat and
remarked:
~ guess you need't send me the paper
any longer; | have just subscribed for a
Philadelphia paper which suits me pretty
well, and it doesn't cost as much as the
Obserrr by dollar.
Here he handed us the paper for in
spection. We found il to be neat look.
ing sheet, handsomely printed, with large
engraved head, and containing about forty
eight columns miscellaneous reading matter
"Fair looking paper" we remarked, as
We handed it back to him; shut did you
ever see anything in it concerning our
county"
"Well, l don't know as l ever have"
Anything in regard to the State ?"
Nothing"
"And yet you give up paper that con-
tains the local market reports, the state
Of the crops, the deaths and marriages,
and the thousand and one happenings from
week to week which make up the history
of the region in which you are most inter
ested, and which you can get from no
other source, and take instead city paper
simply because it comes a dollar cheaper. Z"
"Yes, and it contains more reading mat
ter" he added.
Certainly, we remarked, "but what Is
the character Of the matter? Nothing in
regard to your own village-your schools,
your churches, your local improvements
and the thousand and one things that hap
pen in your county. There is nothing in
1t that helps to build up your county and
support home institutions. II is as foreign
to you as the city in which it is published.
1t may contain more reading matter, but
your neighborhood is not represented in
its columns"
"But why can't you furnish your paper
for dollar if they can afford much
larger one in the city for that price p he
queried. Labor is certainly cheaper here.
For the reason that county paper has
a small circulation compared with city
paper, and the labor expended upon l 900
papers is about the same as on $4,000 es-
pecially when it is taken into consideration
that the city weekly which is furnished for
dollar per year is "made up" Of the type
set for the daily"
"Thats enough, exclaimed the old gem
tleman, as he pulled out his wallet aud
handed us two dollars, 'just send m the
Observer for another yearl"
As be bade us "good morning" and
passed through the sanctum door, we heard
him remark :-"It's my belief that man
who stops or refuses to subscribe to his
local paper simply because it doesn't con
tain as much. reading matter as one amade
up" from daily and published in the city,
should be supplied with medical almanacs
at the public expense. y Waterloo, NJ Y

Demonstrating the wild Buffalo.

Col. Ezra Miller Of Railway, N. j., tells
New York San reporter that he has
demonstrated the possibility of crossing
bufialoes with farm cattle. He says he
has also proved, first, that buffaloes can
be famed second, that il doesn't cost one
half as much to keep buffalo as an ordi-
nary COW; third, they can be fattened as
quickly as ordinary beeyes, and on half
the food and their meat is just as good;
fourth, they are as good mixers as our
Attorneys, and fifth, they are as good but
Ter makers. The milk Of the buffalo is a
little ycllower than that Of the Alder
ney, but very sweet and rich, and there is
more cream than the AIderney milk. As
to the quantity Of milk given BY buffalo
cows, they will average with the average
mixer, and suggests the establishment Of
ranches in the buffalo country, where the
calves could be collected and domesticatcd
aud whence they could be shipped to the
East.
