Augora Goats n Failure.
from the San Francisco Alta.l


The animals have healthy look; the fleece
is beautiful and very prepossessing in appear
ance. The best qualities of wool command
good price the pelts make beautiful robes
and rugs; the meat of the kids is delicacy !;
the tanned skins are good material for gloves;
but the breeding OF the Angora goat for its
fleece is failure in California, where IL has
now been tried twenty years, as in Kentucky
and Georgia for thirty years, and in France
for half century. In five years after the
first Merino sheep had been brought to Cali
forna for wool growing purposes, the first
importer had made fortune, and wool had
become q prominent article of expectation.
In twenty years the Angora goat wool has
not been able to obtain mention in the Ordi-
nary annual summaries of exports. The men
who have goats for sale at high prices tell
about shipments of Angora wool, but the rec
ords of the commercial newspapers know
nothing of them, and the large shippers of
wool and the annual wool circulars take no
account of them. So far as we are able to
learn no herd of goats in this State yields
enough wool to pay the interest on their cost
and the expense of keeping them and every
person prominent as the owner of them looks
fer his main profits not to his clip, but to the
purchases of his bucks by ignorant and de-
ceived customers. The production of Angora
wool may ultimately be success in Califor-
MIA; hitherto it has been most complete
failure as source of profit to those who
made the venture. It is reported that there
are 50,0 900 high grade goats in the State.

The Copenhagen Aftenblad reports re-
markabe case of death caused by remorse for
deed of exceptional cruelty to animals,
which we commend to the attention of MIR.
Bergh. Our Danish contemporary relates
that a family well known IN Copenhagen had
long been in the habit of passing their Sun
days in one of the parks near the city, taking
with them son seven years old. A few
Sundays ago the little fellow, unnoticed by
his parents, discovered an unusually large
toad and amused himself by torturing it in
various ways, finally plunging sharp stick
through its body and so fastening it to the
ground. The next Sunday the family again
visited the park, and the boy, remembering
his sport of the previous week, wentin search
of more toads. He found the animal he had
so cruelty used still pinned to the ground end
still alive. AS he approached, the poor thing
looked at him, its immense eyes distended
with pain and suffering. The child was ter
ror-stricken at the sight and ran crying to his
mother to tell her what he had done. He was
taken home in great state of excitement and
put to bed, where he remained for three days
in burning fever, which ended in his death.
Just before he died he declared that wherever
he looked he saw the pleading eyes of the
poor toad and begged to have II taken away.

Bayard Taylor as q Poet.
RI. G. Holland, in Scribner for March.

r.. G. Holland, in Scrbner for March,
That Bayard Taylor might have been
popular poet of a hig gh order, we fully believe
In Judging of poet we must take him at his
best. One of the very best short poems that
exist in American literature, or, for that mat
ter, in the literature of the English tongue, is
Mr.. Taylors familiar Crimean poem, con-
tanning the lines
"Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie"
If he had never written anything but this. It
would have stamped him as poet OF rare
order. Its exceeding humanity, its sensitive
apprehension of all the dramatic elements OF
the situation, its music and pathos, mark it
as the best poem of the Crimean war, and
show that its author possessed qualities that
would easily have lifted him to high place
as singer of songs for the people. 1t he
has failed of this, it is not because he lacked
the genius for it, but because he was not par
ticularly sympathetic with the people, and did
not care to sing for them. 1t is at least true
that most of his poems appeal to small au-
dience. and treat of topics only congenial to
the cultured, thoughtful few.

HOW Logs Are Got Out I'm the Mountains.
From the Truckee (Nev.) Republican,

From the Truckee (Nev.) Republican,
A chute is laid from the rivers bank up
the steep mountain to the railroad, and while
we are telling it, the monster logs are rushing,
laundering, flying, leaping down the de-
clivity. They come with the speed of q
thunderbolt, and somewhat ofitsroar. Atrack
of fire and smoke follows-fre struck by
their friction with the chute logs. They de-
scend the LOO feet of chute in fourteen Sec
onds. In doing so they drop 700 feet perpen-
dicularly. They strike the deep water of the
pond with report that can be heard mile
distant. Logs fired from cannon could
scarcely have greater velocity than they have
at the foot of the chute. Their average velo-
city is over 100 feet in second throughout
the entire distance, and at the instant they
leap from the mouth their speed must be fully
200 feet per second. A sugar pine log some
times weighs ten tons. What a missile! How
the water is dashed into the air! Like grand
plume of diamonds and rainbows the teathery
spray is hurled to the height of hundred
feet. It forms the grandest fountain ever be-
held. How the waters of the pond foam and
seethe and lash against the shore! One log,
having spent its force by its mad plunge into
the deep waters, has doated so as to be right
angles with the path of the descending mon
sters. The mouth of the chute is perhaps
fifteen feet above the surface of the water.
A huge log hurled from the chute cleaves the
air and alights on the floating log. You
know how bullet glances, but can you i'm
agine saw log glancing? The end strikes
with heavy shock, but glides quickly past
for short distance, then crash like the re-
verberation of artillery, the falling log springs
$50 feet vertically into the air and with a
curve like rocket falls into the pond seventy
yards from the log it struck.

The Future Of America.

George Warde Norman, in paper in the
Journal Of tile London Statistical Society, not
very long ago, thus estimated American
chances:
''There probably never existed upon earth
nation so favored by Providence as the
Anglo lo-Americans. 4 = + A vast territory,
with climate varying from that of
the Arctic zone to the tropics. Hard
ly plant or an animal advantageous to man
but could be reared on some part or other of
this wide expanse; much of it is of almost
matchless fertility. Mines of the precious,
as well as of the more useful metals, abound
Coal measures of such extent that those of
England are, when compared to them, like
Shooters Hill placed side by side with Mount
Blanc. Finally, there is water system such
as does not anywhere exist upon earth, unless
it be in China, or perhaps in South America.
+ Their vast territories could read
lily, with an improved agriculture, support
four hundred millions, and still not be peopled
to the density of England.

see the beautiful Indian leaning up against
the fence, calmly surveying his territory.
And am free to admit that the territory is q
powerful sight more beautiful than the In
dian. The Indian is chewing tobacco, and
swearing at mule. He is six feet high, the
Indian is, and his tail is full of burs, the
mules is. He wears butternut jeans, and a
fur cap, the Indian does, and you can hear
him bray clear into the car, the mule, that is.
He has a bushy head of hair and shocky
.whiskers. tanned out by the sun, has the In
dian; and he wears more fiat leathern harness
than he has hair, the mule does. He carries
a blacksnake whip, the Indian does, and as
he swears, he larups it over his hunkers, the
mules hunkers. And every time he, the In
dian, fetches him, the mule, one, he, the
mule, kicks down whole panel of fence. l

The Discovery of Matches.
From London Society.]

From London Society]
The story of this discovery has been told by
Mr.. Holden himself in the House Of Com
mons before a select committee appointed to
inquire into the working of the patent laws
We can not do better, therefore, than give 1t
in his own words: II began as an inventor
on very small SCALE" said Mr.. Holden, in
the course of his evidence. ''FOr what l
know, l was the first inventor of lucifer
maches; but it was the result of q happy
thought. In the morning used to get up at
o'clock in order to pursue nay studies, and
used at that time the flint and steel, in the
use of which found very great inconven-
ience. I gave lectures in chemistry at the
time at very large academy. OF course l
knew, as other chemists did, the explosive
material that was necessary in order to pro-
duce instantaneous light; but it was very
difficult to obtain light on wood by that
explosive material, and the idea occurred to
me to put under the explosive mixture sui
phur. did that, and pulished it in my next
lecture, and showed it. There was young
in London, and he Immediately wrote to his
fer matches were issued to the world. be-
the present lucifer match, and 1t was one of
those inventions that people think ought not
to be protected by a patent. 1 think if all
the inventions were like that, or if we could
distinguish one from the other, the principle
might hold good. If all inventions were as
certained and carried out into practice with
as much facility as in this case, no one would
perhaps think of taking out a patent. l was
urged to go and take out patent Immediately;
but thought it was so small matter, and it
cost me so little labor, that did not think it
proper to 60 and get a patent, otherwise l
have no doubt it would have been very profit
able"

A WOman's Will.
[Rome On. Y.) Sentinel


When a Massachusetts woman forms a
habit it is all a waste of time for her husband
to try to break her of it. Well knowing his
wife's disposition to make him present reg
ularly at the anniversary of his birthday, q
citizen of the Bay State, who likewise forci-
bly, realized the fact that economy was an
absolute necessity IN his household, said
to his wife: ''This year you must not under
take to make me "a present ! insist.
It would absurd to do so at this time, when
we need everything we can rake and scrape.
I give you fair notice that if you do carry
out your former custom this year, l will burn
up the present a. surely as you make it. !" 50
the wife bethoueht herself. She could not
bear the idea of being deprived of her annual
pleasure. Therefore she gathered together
her dimes and bought for her dearly beloved.

HER former Imperial Majesty, Empress
Eugene, once had handsome lace dress and
shawl of the same gossamar material.
These articles floated over to New York,
for some reason, and were offered for sale by
j. Warren Lawton. An agent of MIR. Law
ton was sent by the widow of Gen. Thomas
Francis Meagher to Miss Leary, the sister OF
Arthur Leary. Miss Leary was said to have
offered s.. 1000 for the lace, but she atterward
refused to take it. A. T. Stewart g 20. final
" bought the lace for So, $50. Then the
agent brought suit against Miss Leary for
$2, 600, the difference between the sum al
legedto have been agreed upon and the
amount obtained, with the $3.50 in for extra
trouble. Miss Leary won her suit, she de-
nying that she had made any bargain.

1t was calm, still night, soft air played
caressingly with the tresses of lovely girl,

brow of her lover Her small brother, mean-

VENGEANCE.

BY GUIDO lLGES, U. 3. A.
PART I.
Yonder thro' the thicket gliding,
See brown men swiftly go;
Far into the distance gazing.
They by signs their meaning show.
Malice in each dark eye gleameth.
Deadly weapon tightly grasped;
While sharp knives flash from the girdle,
Which about each waist is ciasped.
From rocky lookout spying,
Ere they make their murderous sally,
They behold the smoke and cabin
In the sunset OF the valley.
Where the gay song of the farmer
Echoes from the hills again,
While the huge limbs of the forest
Fail before his stroke amain.
Off, where from the little chimney
The blue smoke floats thro' the air,
Where young wife deftly twineth
Into curls her golden hair.
Lovely "Pale Facet" brightly smiling,
Through the window looks she then
At her husband in the distance,
Signs cross and breathes "Amen."
Tear drops on the eyelash glitter,
But the mothers heart is gay
As she stealeth to the hammock
Where her boy laughs at his play.
List! What fearful shrek is ringing?
Once again it shrilly cries;
It's her husbands voice, who dying,
Calls for help before he dies.
Painting, sinks she down, but quickly.
Like lion from it's lair,
In her hands an ax upraising
Springs che to the open air.
What scene! Wild terror fills her,
Dead the white man lieth there;
While around his dear form dancing
Three brown Indians yell and tear.
And the head of her dead husband
From his body severed lies;
While from out the distant marshes
Sound the tree-frog's dirge-like cries.
With her frail arm wildly striking,
Cleaves she one upon the head;
Shrinking back, the rest mistake her
For spirit from the dead.
Yet how yainly! He is murdered,
Cold his heart, his wounds are wide;
Never more his eye shall meet her
Glancing into hers with pride.
Then che staggers, laughing madly,
Over the beloved dead;
With wild hair, while strangest terror
Ger the pallid face is shed.
Silvery DER the distant mountain,
From the sky the moonbeams flow,
And the starry eyes of heaven
Look upon the scene below.
But abruptly,-by q storm cloud,
The moon-picture darkened lies;
And the twinkling stars have vanished
In the gloomy vaulted skies.
Where the farmers peaceful cottage
TRANQUILITY at morning lay,
Now the red flames, self consuming,
In flicKering torrent play.
Wailing from amidst the fre-wreath
Sounds an infant's frightened cry;
Hearing this, rejoicing fiercely
Through their dance two Indians fly.
Gaily swinging each fresh scalp.
Torn from off the bleeding dead:
From the murdered "Pale Face" farmer
And the fair young matron's head.
Thus the deep hate of the broom race
Vents itself upon the ,chite,
Blindly following what their false gods
Long have taught them was the right.
