A Colorado Hunters Goat Stories.

"When | was down in the San Juan
country, bout five years ago, pros
pectin' around in Cunningham Gulch,
along of two or three more OF the boys,
we saw some goats cavortIn' around on
what appeared to us to be the tlp-top of
the mountain. We made up our minds
that those goats belonged to us, an pre-
pared accordn'. One of us pulled OFT
his boots an began to climbup to drive
the critters down, while the rest on us
ambushed at the only place where we
though. they could come. Pete-that's
the Teller that elm up-Pete, when he
got to the top, found that he was about
a hundred foot above the goats, which
was standin' on the edge of a precipice
morn three hundred foot high. Pete
riz up an hollered an threw stones at
the goats. The critters didn't stop
mint to hold council on what they
should do, but just gin one jump an
over the precipice they went. We
thought we had 'em sure-an' though
we'd leete rather shot 'em-yit We
didn't hev no special conscientious scru-
plies agin eatin' goat which had COM
mitted suicide. But we didn't eat any
of them goats, not by no means. They
just came flynn down that perpendlck-
Ter rock fer MORN three hundred foot,
'bumpty, bumpty, bump tuchin' the
wall onct in bout every sixty foot until
they reached the bottom, where they
landed all right an struck out like light
MIN for the timber. l 'spose 'twould a
killed 'em ifthey' jumped straight down
but We see they knew trick worth two of
tibet, an by touchin' the rock as they
come twas bout the same thing, ye
see, as goin' down stairs. Now, I've
heerd folks say the goats jump OFT of
high rocks an land on their heads, an
benz kind Of accustomed to buttin' it
didn't hurt 'em none. Them stories is
a little too tough for me, an | advise
We, stranger, fer to take no stock in any

as he saw himself. Goats is KNOWN

they don't do half the wonderful things
which fellers as has no regard for truth

saw an old goat walkin bout half way
up big precipice on a little shelvin'
path, which the same | saw petered
out about the middle of the cliff. The
goat didn't know this, an came trottin'
along as pert an sassy as We please.
Pretty soon along came kid follerin',
an then | wondered how thew was
agoin to git out of that scrape. The
path KEEP gettin' nearer an nearer
till it couldn't a been morn six inches
wide an then It ended altogether. The
old goat stopped and seemed kind of
surprised like; first she looked down

looked up, an then she seemed to be

Effect OF Cold Oh Milk.

The effects of low temperature on
milk have been carefully examined by
Nj. Eng. .Tisserand, who recently COM
municated his observations to the AGA
demic des Sciences. He found that if
cows milk is Immediately or soon after
being drawn, placed in vessels at vari-
Gus temperatures between freezing
point and 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and
the initial temperature is maintained
for twenty-four or thirty-six hours, it
will be found that the nearer the tenn
perature of the milk is to freezing point
the more rapid is the collection of
cream, the more considerable Is the
quantity of cream, the amount of but
ter is greater. and the skinned milk,
the butter, and the Cheese are of a bet
ter quality. These facts he believes,
may be explained by Pasteur's observa-
ton and on ferments, and their effects
on the media in which they live. 1t is
probable that the refrigeration arrests
the evolution Of the living organisms
which set up fermentation and hinder
the changes which are due to their
growth. The facts stated indicate room
for great improvement IN the methods
of storage and preservation of milk.
To keep milk at its original quality, ex-
IRENE cleanliness and a low tempera-
ture are absolutely necessary. In the
north of Europe, Denmark, etc. the
value of cold is already reconized, and
in warmer climates the need for It's as
sistance is greater. There is nothing
impracticable in the suggestion, since
running streams can be used to aid re-
frigeration. Where the quality Of the
milk is of great Importance, ice may be
employed,

Spanish Dwellings.
All the Year Round.


The massive-stone Easements ofmany
OF the houses date back 500 years, and
are still grimly solid, though somewhat
sunken by their weight Of centuries.
The upper portions have in most in
stances been patched and repatched;
yet still, by the side Of what is there
considered modern improvement
probably easement and balcony $50
years old-may be seen narrow, point
ed, granite, carved apertures, pierced
In a wall from two to three feet in thick
ness. These are unglazed, and are
closed by shutter, which in turn has
a small grated opening. The varied IA
cades of these decrepit buildings are
wonderfully rich in quaint detail, with
their rusty iron and worm-eaten wooden
balconies, oddly perched here and there.
From these usually float in the sun-glare
multi-colored garments and rainbow
hued draperies, protected from pass
ing shower by the deeply-proj Getting
roofs of moss.grown, fluted thing. The
streets which are narrow and roughly
paved with shapeless boulders, are mo-
nopolzed by the pigs. Indeed, so AFRO
CANT are the brutes that the question as
to who is to take the wall or the gutter
is only settled by stout stick. 1t may
be guessed what is the ordinary condi-
ton of the streets when such scaven-
gers make them their favorite foraging
ground. There is usually but one COM
mon entrance to each house for cattle
and humanity, and this is through a
deeply-set stone archway which leads
directly to the stable, and consequently
one is continually stepping over foul
litter. II the proprietor be trades
man, there is an opening to the tenda
or shop. either to the left or right, be-
meath this gloomy, stench-infected
porch; and on the opposite side is the
dark staircase which leads to the upper
portion of the struggling building, where
perhaps many families have their
dwelling. Now, as IN most instances,
each family keeps its pigs, and yoke of
oxen to till patch of land in the neigh
borhood of the town, it may be mag
ined what is the condition of the COM
mon stable at night, and what savory
odors pervade the ever-open staircase
and corridors. Indeed, it has often
happened to me, when paying visit to
stumble over Il SOW and her young on a
dark landing; or, while cropping my way
up the time-worn, uncertain stairs, to
place my hand in the midst of group
of roosting fowls; and yet possibly the
person to whom my visit was to be paid
boosted of blue blood, was as proud as
the proudest of hidalgos, and bore a
shield with quarterings that dated from
the heroic period of San Ferdinand or
the Cid Campeador. With regard to
the furniture of suite of rooms occu-
pied by such a person of quality, the
less said the better. One seldom meets
with any attempt at luxury, and most
frequently even comfort is ignored.

same roll. Most of our farms are not
provided with the facilities for making
a prime article-and never will be. A
running stream of water from spring,
an ice-house, the best Of pastures, and
the best Of cows, can only be made to
produce butter that will sell for high
price. 1t is not much use to try to emu
late these butter-makers without all the
appliances; and, even then, skill will
have a great deal to do with it.

R[GHYS OF PfSSENGERS.

The late James Fisk being asked to sub
scribe to the erection of fence around
cemetery, refused on the ground that it was
useless expense TO wall in a graveyard; for,
he irreyercnty added, those that were out
did not wish to get in, and those who were in
could not get ont Somewhat like this is
principle of law lately formulated by our Ma
riue Court for the instruction of railway man
ayers and the encouragement of travellers. 1t
i, to the effect that, in dealing with person
who attempts to enter the trains contrary to
the rules OF the company, they may keep him
out before he gets in, but after he is in he
cannot be put out. The story of the case il
that a traveller for the Harlem Railroad
having Communication ticket, and therefore
not needing to visit the ticket office, assumed
to go into the train ut gateway on
Forty-secOnd-st., which stood open and was
handler for him than to go through
the passengers waiting room, but was for
the employees only. Nothing but placard
opposed his entrance, and he had fairly
reached the steps of the ear when the watchman
colared him and pulled him back. He pro-
duced his ticket but this was not deemed sat
isfactory. lie was elected with some vio-
lcnce and made to go around and enter
through the passenger-room. Now he has re-
covered 5000 damages. The Court says that
the company may prevent, by force, travel
lers from entering by a gateway that is for
hidden to them, but that passenger who has
entered without opposition cannot be turned
out because he entered through the wrong
door.
The Jersey City Ferry Company sustained
similar judgment few years ago. 1t was
when the rule was comparatively new forbid
ding foot passengers TO enter by the gateway

DEMOCRATIC DIVISIONS.

Omitted we fall, divided we stand" ap-
pears to be the motto of the Democrats. At
present there seem to be four Democratic
parties There is, first the Last Ditch party,
of which Mr. Samuel Cox is "a representative,
which swore that 1t would never yield, and
has distinguished itself during the last week
by voting against all appropriations to
carry on the Government. Second, there
is the Breakdown party, honoraby represented
by Mr.. Bayard, who believes that the Demo-
Gratis have made "a gross blunder, and urges
them to retire openly and promptly from their
untenable position. Third, there is the Crawl
ont party, led by Mr.. Thurman. who urged
his friends into the contest with the President,
hoping that Mr.. Hayes would yield, and has
lately been seeking with pathetic earnestness
for some small hole of escape through which he
and his party may creep. His highest aim, at
present, is to save flimsy pretext for claim
ing that he has not backed down. Finally.
there is the Cipher party, led by Mr.. Tilden,
whose purposes are hidden in cipher tele-
grams, and whose methods are best known to
those who roll the barrel OF money from place
TO place. Harmony between these four fac
tons seems TO be impossible, particularly as
each is aware that its extinction will
result from the success of either of the others.
The main object of the Cipher party rs to

upon the theory that all the Republican oreeh-
back votes can be secured for Ewing, wlthout
losing any votes of hardmoDey Democrats
Every sane man knows that this Will prove
impossible. General Ewing will be fortunate
if he succeeds in getting as many as 5'ooo
votes from men who have been kepuDlcahs'
on account of their Greenback procllVlties'
Bnt he will be a thousand times more fortu-
nate if he does not lose twice as many votes
of Democrats who detest his heresleS, ana

are not permitted to dodge the financial Is

HOW THE FIG URES LOOK N ONO

HOV THE FIG URES LOOK N ONO.
Time enough has passed since the nomiDat-
ing conventions in Ohio were held to enable
observers to form a fair estimate OF the erect
of each upon public opinion. The disapDOiUt-
ment which nominations always bring TO the
friends of defeated candidate, has passed, and
the two parties have had time 20 get into
fighting trim. lt is good omen that voters
of every shade are thoroughly aware OF the
importance of the coming struggle. This Is
not TO be a dull campaign. 1t will be hauy
fought, with determination and unsparing
effort by both parties. To the Republicans
this is good sign. Victory has always
crowned their efforts in OhiO when the voters
have been fully aroused. There are 10000
voters in the State. and over $4,000 OF them
are Republicans. But when the contest Is
dull and uninteresting, ana busy but consci-
entious voters by the thousand find no reason
for sacrifice of their time, it always turns
out that the Republicans lose largely, and
they sometimes lose the State.
1t is timely to observe this popularity of
Ohio elections, because the Democrats and
Greenbackers have been proclaiming that
their success is certain If they can unite the
vote of the two factions. In 1873, they say,
the Republican plurality was only $3.50.
while 80 800 votes were cast for Greenback
ticket The Democratic and Greenback votes
together would have carried the State by
majority of $4,000. Therefore, say these
calculatOrs, it is certain that Ewing, who can
get ne-tenths of the Greenback vote, will
be elected. Unhappily for these people, they
are as crazy at figures rs they are in finance
II 1T. h..
with the Greenback candidates, poed only
3O9,29S votes-21 900 less than the vote
cast for Hayes in 1876. The secret
of the whole matter is that 10000 voters
neglected to vote in 1878, and a large proper
ton of them, as usual, were Republicans.
There were especial reasons at that time,
as all remember for a falling of IN The
Republican vote. Many stalwart men were
dispieased at the course of the Admins
tration toward the South. 1t was a time Of
much stIngency in business, and failures had
multiplied alarmingly because of the repeal OF
the Bankrupt Act, but many persons aurlbu
ted all the troubles in business TO the prepa-
ratIops for resumption. The Republican party
did not make such eXertions, in the October
elections, as it would have made had it real
lied that gain of few members of Con-
cress would have deprived the Democrats OF
mower TO organize the House. After n COM
naratively dull campaign, forty or fifty thou
sand Republicans neglected or refused to vote.
Tho Democrats and Greenback men pOled a
larger proportion OF their strength, and yet
their aggregate vote was not enough to sue
coed if the Republican strength had been ex-
erted The folio wing comparison of the votes
In October and in November, 1876, with
those in October 1878, will show how wild
are the Democratic calculations based upon
the last election:
