years of the history of the nation.
Whether that man be General Grant,

expect to hear the election wires fash

ant an event will deserve. Under these

IN ADDITION to the trouble which the
Nihilists have brought upon the Ca,
Of Russia, his wife died on Thursday
and unless common rumor is wantonly
mendacious, she died Of broken heart,
caused by the open, shameless and re.
voting infdelities of her husband.
Thus, says the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin" and we agree with it, he's
the man whese hands are red with the
blood of thousands of innocent people
who has populated the dreary wilder
ness of Siberia with victims of his bar
barity; who has hogged young girls
upon suspicion that they were conspi.
rators against him; who has filed his
empire with anarchy and showed the
world despetism which has had 20
equal in ferocity since the days of Nero,
has at last driven to her grave the
only woman who loved him truly. The
Gar will now be completely under the
influence of Princess Dolgourouki his
Polish German mistress, and the breach
between himself and the heir apparent
ls certain to be dangerously widened.
1t need not be surprising If serious
trouble should arise in the Russian
household, and the Nihilists who have
been very quiet of late may be expect
cd to commence their operations soon.

at it's termination the Judge charged tue
jury and they retired for consideration.
Hour after hour passed and no verdict was
brought in. The judges dinner hour ar
rived and he became impatient and hum
cry. Upon inquiry he learned that one
obstinate juryman was holding out against
eleven. That he could not stand, and he
ordered the twelve men to be brought be"
fore him. He told them that in his charge
to them he had so plainly stated the case
aud the law that the verdict ought to be
unanimous, and the man who permitted
his individual opinion to weigh against the
Judgment Of eleven men Of equal wisdom
was unfit and disqualified to ever again
act IN the capacity Of juryman. At the

SOMETHING FOE HcasENEN.
A HIGH AUTHORITY REvERsEs ITS VIEWS
ON BREEDING.
National Live Stock journal.

National Live Stock journal.
Many years agv, when We first began to
write upon breeding topics, an old breeder
who had been very close observer, and
who had had large experience, remarked
to us, that he was satisfied that In one
thing at least the standard writers upon
the laws OF breeding we're teaching false
doctrine. They all incnlcate the idea that
when there was any considerable disparity
In the size OF the animals to be coupled, the
male should always be the smaller of the
two-that the coupling Of large male with
a small female tended to the production
OF mis-shapen, Informed animal. We
had imbibed this theory from the stand
ard authors on heredity; and 1t was In crit
icising one Of our early articles upon the
subject, In which we had alluded to this
as q settled Law, that our old friend inform
ed us that his own observation had satisfi-
cd him that the theory was false. He in
stanoed numerous cases that had come an
der his notice tending to overthrow the
theory; and 30 positive was he upon the
subject, that while he failed to convice US
that he was right and that the books were
all wrong, we confessed that our faith was
staggered, and We resolved to investigate
the question for ourself.
From that day to this, including period
Of many years, We have closely studied this
question. not only rs manifested In the re-
production OF the lower order Of animals,
bat In the human race as we'll; and we are
compelled to admit that our early teaching
was Ill wrong, and that this theory Of the
hooks has no foundation In fact. How
many OF our readers are there Who can sail
TO mind numerous instances OF handsome,
well-formed, and robust children the off,
spring OF . large father and small mother!
We were reminded anew OF the fallacy Of
this alleged Law by seeing, . few days ago,
two colts, the produce Of little mare,
weighing not more than $50 pounds and Of
Psrcheron- Norman stallion that, in good
condition. Weighs about ~ much again ~
the mare. Une Of these foais was . two.
year-old weighing about 1900 pounds. and
the other . yoarIing weighing. We should
Judge, about 900. Both q them were
nest perfectly formed. we'll proport,oned
animals and whom matursd will b csnsid-
srably nearer the size Of tho sire than Of the
dam. The Same result has been observed
Ia hundreds Of other cases where largo
draft h0Tsss h1vs been coupled with small
Or msdium-sized marsa 10 fact Il u the
almost universal testimony Of those Who
