Mrs. Willard Fillmore can articulate
only the word Eyes" though she under
stands all that is said to her. She is free
from pain, and is slowly regaining the
use of her paralyzed arm and foot. 1t is
not thought PROBABLE that she can recover,
though death may not be immediate.

ruption in party politics so different from

when his own state was in favor of another
candidate is on Il par with Ben Buffers
going over to the democracy because he
believed that party WAS the friend Of the
negro.
The Boston Post, after "A careful inspec-
ton of the election returns, comes to the
conclusion that lit will be happy day
for the democracy when both Tammany
and Irving halls are blown to the four
corners of the earth, and when the demo-
cratic voters of New York shall elec their
own leaders. Until that day arrives cleo

At the republican love feast at Faneuil
Hall no name evoked more cordial cheers
than that of Rutherford b. Hayes. The
best republican newspapers rs well as the
best republican men everywhere recognize
the fact that President Hayes made Presi-
dent James A. Garfield possible, and that
his admirable administration since he has
been the executive of the country rem
dered democratic supremacy in the gcner-
al government impossible
Gen. Garfield has proved most avail
able candidate Throughout five months
careful scrutiny, when his every act and
word for the past twenty years have been
looked over again and again to find flaws,
he has not been touched. Every charge
brought against him has been triumphant
" refuted His career has been public
one and his thoughts are written down in
the reports of congress, where he has
never hestated TO speak, but the whole
record contains not word which could be
turned against him. Truly splendid
thing to say of any man. And during the
summer and autumn, when he has been
public property, his house and farm turned
into a common resort, he has maintained
those manners and that sense which have
always distinguished him. Not one word
has been said too much, or that had to be
retracted.
Throughout the ordeal he more than
proved himself all that any could ask
The summer has demonstrated that Gar
field is a man of whom we may be proud.

DUTCH CATTLE.-A Hollander, writing
! to the COUNTRY Gentlemen, says: "Allow
me to add a few words regarding the
name of 'Holsteins' which is given to the
Dutch cattle in the United States. 1t is.
to say the least, strange that our breed of
cattle. after leaving its native country,
should receive a name entirely unknown
in the place they come from, and against
which, as am justified in saying here. II
good many breeders in Holland would
ohiect-which, for instance, could very
well be done by refusing to sign certifi-

keep better in shallow boxes or bins than

Many kinds Of cider apples will keep

who have ample cellar room will do well
to store such varieties for winter feeding

SIX cents Il bushel. Sweet apples would
be especially valuable for this purpose.

The Rev. DIR. Wentworth writes to the
Troy Times, on reading a recent feet wash
ing ceremony, as follows: 1.-The wit Of
the Illinois conference, the Rev. Geo. j.
Barrett, was attending a camp meeting
held by the feet. washing Baptists, and
stood in the rustic preaching stand looking
down on the scene while the brethren and
sisters gathered at the front benches and
stripped off shoes and stockings, and the
preacher who conducted the serv ces went
around the circle with tin basin and
towel and washed the feet presented, till
all were served When the ceremony was
over the preacher looked up to the stand,
and, with the peculiar twang and whining
upward slide of the voice sometimes call
ed the holy tone said with solemn
distinctness, We should be glad to know
what our beloved Brother Barrett thinks of
this ancient and honorable custom
Barrett Strengthened up, and said he
thought we'll of the custom; feet-washing
was "a good thing-a useful habit; and, as
far the cases that had passed in review
before their eyes to-day, he Judged it
would have been we'll if it had been

There are now only four straight repub-
icans from the south in the House OF
Representatives, but there will be in the
next house certainly eleven, besides sever
al greenbackers who are elected by repub-
lican votes in districts where revolution
has been made against the democratic
ring but the leaders do not dare to take
the name of republican. Besides this
there are severa! districts, including one
in Georgia, two in Alabama and one in
Mississippi, where republicans claim that
their elected candidate will, ON various
preteXts, be counted out. The electoral
vote of the south has been delivered per
contract, but the result in various parts
shows that the political stagnatlon and
ring rule is losing its hold, and that with
proper efforts by the incoming administra-
ton the democratic party in the south can
be disintegrated.

Commenting on the recent purchase, in
England, by Mr.. T. l.. Miller of Beecher,
H., of one hundred and ten Hereford cat
tie for breeding purposes, the Mark L'ne
EGpreSs remarks us follows:
The great demand for pure bred Here
ford cattle which has sprung up in the
United States has been called the Amer-
lean mania by Shorthorn men. But
there is nothing about it to justify such II
term, for it has nothing in common with
the mania which induced fanciers to attach
fabulous values to certain strains of Snort
horn blood. These American buyers are
not fanciers by any means, but bullock
breeders. who think that the Hereford will
answer their purpose better than the Short
horn. They do not come here to give
fancy prices, but to obtain the best cattle
they can find for their purpose, 'at reason
able rates. The Hereford is evidently TO
have trial on the breeding grounds OF
the far west. and we shall be surprised il
he does not find more favor there than the
Shorthorn The great usefulness of the
Shorthorn consists in its combination OF
meat making and milk producing proper.
ties, and when the Shorthorh is bred solely
for beef it must obviouslV be classed as
inferior to the Hereford, the Scots, and-iD
point of quality-to the Devon"

WHAT AN ELEPHANT CAN Do.-What a
queer sight An elephant dragging a
pIow! The elephant is put to many uses.
if he cannot thread needle, he can pick
one up from the ground, with his trunk.
His sense OF touch is very delicate.
An elephant was once left to take care
of little boy baby. This he did with
wonderful care and gentleness. If the
baby strayed off too far. the elephant
would stretch out his long trunk and bring
the little wanderer back.
In the year 1868 an elephant was EN-
poyed at station in India to pile up
heavy bags, IL work which these animals
will do with great neatness and speed.
| rhc superintendent suspected the keeper
of stealing the rice given for the animals
| food. The keeper, of course, denied the
charge; but the elephant, who was stand
ing by, laid hold of large wrapper
which he man wore about his waist, and
tearing it open let out some quarts of rice
which the fellow had slowed away under
the folds.
So closely do elephants remember the
meaning of the signs which have been
taught them that they will instantly obey
the gentlest signal, such as the lifting mp
of the finger or the slightest touch OF
their ears.
Mr.. Jessie, the keeper of an elephant
in London, was once giving him some
potatoes, when one fell on the floor JUS
beyond the sweep of the creatures trunk.
There was wall few inches behind the
potato; and blowing strongly, the saga
cious animal sent it SO hard against the
wall that the potato rebounded, and on
the recol came hack neal enough for the
elephant to seize it.
The elephant likes music, easily learns
to mark the time and TO move in step t
the sound of drums. His smell is exqu
site, and he likes perfumes of all kinds
and above all fragrant flowers; he choose
them, picks them, one by one and make
bouquets of them, and, after relishn!
the smell, carries them to his mouth, an
seems TO taste them.

enthusiastic. Gov. Hendee spoke in the

fitness for the presidency. He spoke from

WONDERFUL CUREs.-Dr. Urann, of
Boston, who made so many wonderful
cures in this place last winter, is again in
town, and stopping at his old quarters at
the American House. During his visit
here last winter he made many very re-
markable cures, among whom were sever
al that were not able to even sit up or
bear their weight upon their feet, who
after one weeks treatment were able to
walk on the streets. On the eleventh of
last month, while at Richford, Vt. u
patient was brought sixteen miles on Il
bed for treatment. She had been under
medical treatment for over two years, with
no improvement. In one week from the
time she was first treated she returned to
her home, able to walk AS well aS any
one, run up and down starts with ease and
ride i've miles in II carriage. A letter re-
celved from her since she returned may
be seen at his rooms. DR.. Urann treats
all durable diseases, and his terms are
very reasonable.
