A Specimen Of American Resources.

Mr.. Durus Carter, who has been on a
visit to Louisiana, has brought to this
Office specimen of rock salt of remark

largely drawn upon for use in the South

The block shown at the Sun ofiice and
intended for presentation in the Mary

was taken is on the island of Petit Anse.

The Largest Cat in Town.

The largest and perhaps the best
looking cat in Middletown has long
been guest at the Grand Central HO-
tel, kept by Messrs. Sweet & Lyle. The
animals of immense proportions, beau
tifully shaped, having the tiger stripe,
and is a great pet. A rat always places
its life in great hazard by coming in too
close proximity to "Thomas. What
is somewhat strange in the case, the ami
NAL wants credit for every rodent kill
ed, and will in every case bring it to
the notice of the proprietors, and re-
ceive few kindly pats and then depart.
The only Objectionable trait in the cat is
that whenever there is nightly con-
cert by the feline troupe in that neigh
borhood, the deep bass aad richly
sonorous notes rendered by the animal
are not at all interesting to the slumber-
ing inhabitants of that locality. The cat
is sometimes thrown a bouquet in the
shape of a bootjack for giving some
musical selections, but yet it is highly
priced by its owners, who would not
part with it for scarcely any considerS-
tion.-Middletovn (N. ~ Press.

A Fast Boy.

Apropos of an incident that recently
happened in the streets of this city, a
well known railroad man tells the follow
ing romantic story, which, if the &C
counts are to be relied on, occurred
about the same time:
A few nights since, when the Kansas
Pacific train was making lightning time
across the plains in the direction OF
Denver, the emigrant-car was occupied
by a solitary woman and three little tow
headed children. In occasionally pass
ing through theconducter had observed
that the passenger was apparently very
uneasy, and frequently inquired how
long It would be before they reached
their destination; but he gave the mat
ter little attention, naturally surprising
it was merely the outgrowth of female
impatience. What was his surprise,
then, when, on going back into the car
few hours afterward, to have
his ears assailed by the loud
shrieks of o new born in
FAINT, and to see the mother evidently
equal to the situation, and giving to this
addition to her family the attention
which the circumstances required.
"Why, great heavens!" exclaimed the
conductor, "what's the matter here?,
"Nothing at all-the matter's all
over" replied the woman. a wintry
smile playing around her pale lips.
You don't mean to tell me that
child has Just been born?"
swell, no; not exactly. It's some
thing like an hour DID," and the happy
mother dextrously invested it in bit of
ragged calico, which she. had been
smoothing out for the purpose.
"But don't you need some help
some attention-the presence OF some
female?" stammered the bewildered
official. 81 never heard of any thing
like this before"
sob, no, it's all right now. I'm get
ting along splendidly."
The conductor best a hasty retreat,
and, having fished up an old woman in
some other part of the train, sent her in
to attend to his seltreliant passenger.
An hour or two afterward he gave her
another call, and found the lady serene
and happy.
along?" he asked.
"First rate" replied the smiling
mother. 81 say, conductor, this is
rather fast boy, amt he?'
81 should say he was-he came into
the world at the rate of twenty miles an
hour"
"i'm going to make railroad man
OF him."
"It's q good idea"
The conductor looked a little embar-
raised for moment, and then felt ner-
vously in his pocket and produced $40
bill. - -
Madam, Just take that and buy this
boy an outfit, and when he gets big
enough dispatch him by express to my
train. I'll make . railroad man of him
il there's any thing in BIRTH" and, with
his politest bow, the conductor took his
leave. In few minutes the train reach
ed it's destination, and the woman, with
her baby, disappeared in the throbbing
life and buslte of the city.-Denuer

evil. We may talk and advise "year
in and year out" about this matter,
but harness will be kept in stable in
spite of all. Where else can the major

safely from fear of ammonia and all
other dangers; but the average horse.
owner will have his peg behind the

way Of diSposing of the harness. But
the trouble would end if the production
of ammonia was prevented. Enter an

Whole Fodder Preferred.

,rn. Experiments by an agricultural socie-

viItural condition, as to length, or in

nat whole fodder is preferable because
the saving it effects without detriment

w 70, 81 health of the animals. This saving
nd nd due to the whole fodder being better
in ewed and rechewed and impregnated
18th saliva, whereby it is turned
IN better account. A distinguished vet
az harry surgeon has shown that when
bo t up as chaff a considerable portion
an an the fodder passes at once into the Sec
Y i'd stomach, and so is not rechewed,
lid is, consequently, only partially util-
q ed. The decrease in the amount

i ,mands that this makes upon the mas
