THE Duck LAKES. The Pacific Life,
referring to the rumor that Sacramento
sporting club has leased all the best shoot
ing lakes near here, says: =" There is some
thing radically wrong in the ranks of the
Sacramento sportsmen, many OF whom are
most estimable gentlemen. The clubs are
evidently being run by few narrow
minded individuals, who should be sup
pressed as soon as possible. The idea of
gobbling up all the available shooting
grounds could only have originated with
men who are totally devoid of those gem
erous and noble qualities which are con-
spicuous traits in the life of sportsmen, and
they deserve the ostracism that will GER
tainly overtake them if they attempt to
carry out their selfish scheme" We pub
lish the above without present comment,
and meanwhile the club involved may see
fit to reply. The Life may learn that there
are, in this world at least, two sides to
every story, and that the facts may not
warrant its sweeping attack.
STRANGE CASE. When farmer near
Mount Morris was cultivating for the
spring crop broom corn), a hen partridge
came out of the cover and followed the
men closer and closer each day, until it
got close enough to pick at them and show
fight. Finally, those whom it was used to
could pick it up, and now for six weeks
any one can go at certain spot near the
cover and call, by making any kind of
noise, and it will come out and commence
to show fight. There have been four or
five seen to fly away from the cover.
When this one comes out it will stay
around and follow you as long as it has
company, sit upon the carriage wheel, on
the front, or in the hand, and show fight
all the time.

FUNNY IDEAS ABOUT MILK.

The immortality of the practice of con-
Stunning cows milk is thus set forth in a
Chinese placard translated for the Foochoac
Herald! Strictly refrain from eating
cows milk Man should not rob the
beasts of their food. Moreover of all
beasts the cow is the most useful and mer-
itorious. Men who do not discriminate
between mankind and beasts are worse
than senseless, These who sell milk
darken their conscience for gain, and those
who eat cows milk foolishly think they
are benefting their bodies. Men who
take medicine should first carefully invest
igate and find out it's nature Why donot
those who eat cows milk consider and IN
quire into its origin? For instance, men
beget children, and while the children are
small they depend upon milk for their
nourishment so it is also with beasts
But when men buy milk to eat, do they
not do injury to the life of the calf? And
is there not bitter hatred and distress in
the minds of both COW and calf :? Beasts
cannot speak how, then, are they able to
tell the man that in eating the milk of
beasts his body becomes like that OF birds
and beasts But if men wish to take
strengthening medicine, there are number
less other articles in the world that are
beneficial and what necessity then is
there for taking cows milk? Besides
this, the death and life of men have their
fixed number and limit, and this cows
milk cannot lengthen out and continue the
life of man. Since, then, all know the
truth-all know that it cannot do this, all
ought to act with loving and benevolent
spirit Especially all who receive this ex-
hortation should keep from eating milk.
The children of those who cause their
families to refrain from eating milk will be
preserved to grow up; they also will thus
lengthen out their own lives, and will es-
cape from evil in time of fatal epidemics.
Ii such persons be able also to exhort 9th.
ers, who are ignorant Of first principles, to
leave off the eating of milk, their descend.

intent, and they are generally successful.
The Havana packets are also favorites with
this class, who are on the lookout for rich
Spanish and Cuban planters and merchants,
who fall an easy prey to the wiles of the
fascinating creatures, and are as easily
brought to terms by their rapacious Con-
sorts. Blackmailing in Washington during
the sessions of Congress used to be pay
ing game, but the latter-day Congressman
is generally too shrewd to be caught nap
ping. OF late years the same class of
blackmailers carry out certain of their
schemes by inserting personals in the
newspapers, and the public would be as
tonished were it informed of the extent to
which these games are carried Expert

gentry always wins. They may threaten
and intimidate, but they viii never go be-
fore the courts, as they are as much afraid
of notoriety as are their victims Let
them fight them, arrest them, and push
them to the wall Then, and not till then,

COMMON SCHOOLS IN BRooKLYN. 1t is
somewhat staggering to the pride OF New
England, as the representative of the COM
mon school, that the third city in the
Brooklyn, N. Y.-perhaps more
than any other out of New England under
Yankee influence, the home of Beecher and
Stowe end Putnam, should have the most
inefficient system of common schools of
any first-class metropolis in the North
ern States. The trouble seems to be an
outbreak of old English class pride among
these New England folk, which keeps the
Yankee aristocracy on the academical, and
:" the common people on the free school
side of the educational highway. Only
within the past two or three years has a
free English high school been sprouted,
against the steady opposition of the nu-
merous private academies. 1t is refreshing
to hear that the recognized leader in public
school affairs in Brooklyn is broad
minded, Catholic Irishman. When the
eminent sons and daughters of New Eng
land forget the common school, the Repub-
lie will be at no loss to find substitutes
from any one of dozen nationslities vel
coined to its broad domain. On the whole,
it is better, in school matters, to be a
roundabout American citizen than Bos-
ton man belittled with some petty new
enotion OF education that old Captain
Miles Standish would have sent kiting
after the ghost of King Philip, of Polka
noket.-GNew England Journal OF Educa-

CAPTAIN HANcocKs SALUTE.


"Hsncock's saluting match is well
told by former Sergeant in the regular
army, who is now resident of Frankfort,
KY. The story illustrates trait OF Han
cock s character with which many private
soldiers in the late war were familiar. The
ex-Sergeant's story is as follows
% was stationed before the war, he
began, sat Fort Leavenworth, aud was on
detached duty as orderly at the headquar-
tiers of General A. j. Smith. General
Hancock was also stationed at that post,
being Captain in the Sixth United States
Infantry, under Harvey. My duty required
my constant attendance about headquar-
tiers, and generally loitered in the little
yard in front of the building used by Gen.
eral Smith, which was directly upon the
street. Army officers frequently passed by,
and one day Captain Hancock, who was
noted among the private soldiers for his
arrogant and tyrannical bearing, came
along the road in front of headquarters.
As required by army regulation, drew
myself up in proper position and made
the customary military salute. He paid
no more attention to me or my salute
than if | had not been there at all, and
N6nb Oti 1SdCS1 III OAS nc re-
turned, and as he passed by, feeling some
what nettled at his treatment of me before,
l didn't salute him. He had passed me a
few steps when he turned and said, in a
savage way, Orderly. do you know your
duty? Il think | know it, | replied.
Then, sir, why didn't you salute me as l
passed p told him l didn't tender the
salute because he failed, as duty required,
to return my salute when he first came by.
We had some other words, when General
Smith, who, it seems, was in the second story
of the house and had overheard our con-
versation, poked his head out of the win
dow above us, and peremptorily cried out,
Orderly 2 Yes, sir You will pace
that-the sentineps-beat for half an hour
and salute Captain Hancock every time
you pass him, and Captain Hancock will
keep his position and return the salute.
''And there, said the soldier, &c was
kept by odd A. j. pacing the beat for
half an hour, saluting Hancock every time
passed, and he had to stand there and re-
turn my salute. And that, said the vet
eran to Democrat who stood by listening
to the conversation, sis your candidate for
the next President. He is good enough
and nice man among officers, but he
hasn't any use for the private soldier, uu-
less he has changed his coat very much
since | was in the army.

The advantages of spreading manure from
the wagon as it is drawn out are 3 saving of
labor and more even distribution of the
double salts (amraenia, potash, phosphates,
etc, in the soil by rain. If the manure is
heaped on the field, and gets heavy rain be-
fore spreading, the ground under the heaps
receives an undue share of the best part of
the manure, which not unfrequently renders
these spots barren for season or two,

Do ANIMALS REASON In the "Penn
Monthly" for January W. w. Kinsley
gives facts to show that the brutes are en-
lowed with the faculty of reason. A
clergyman testifies that he observed a fox
playing in an Enclosure where there were
swine and their young At length he
seized block about as large as one of the
pigs and dashed through the fence, of
course without alarming the mother SOW
Finding that the hole was large enough
and that he was not pursued, he returned
and carried off pig without exciting dis
turbance. Bishop Wilson knew an ele-
plant whose blind eye was cauterized by a
surgeon, causing the poor beast to yell, but
curing him. By and by the other eye had
to be operated on with nitrate of silver,
and they feared the elephant would fly at
the same doctor; but he received him
kindly, and submitted at once to the opera
ton. Huber one day saw piece of comb
fall in hive, because its supports were too
| weak. The bees first fixed under it tenn
porary supports, then fastened it securely
to the sides OF the hive, then cut away the
pillars which INSTRUCTED their pathway
They probably never had such an exigency
before. Instinct would never have sug-
gested blocking up their road to the untitled
combs and then here must have been
some consultation to enlist their whole
force in the work.
| INTELLIGENCE OF ELEPHANTS. = There
are many instances of war or regi-
mental elephants in India going regularly,
day after day. of their own accord, to mil

ally after having been taken there once or
twice by the mahouts. They submit
themselves to any necessary operations /;
understand the surgeons object, and CO.

lieve themselves by plaintive groans,
though obviously regarding the infection
Of pain as a necessary or unavoidable part
of the operation prepare themselves for
suffering by drawing in the breath as man
does recognize and put confidence in the
surgeons voices and persons as those of
friends. Of an adult male elephant we are
told +" That the surgeon might operate, he
readily extended himself on the ground,
and bore with patience the application even
of burning caustic. The acuteness of the
pain would sometimes force from him a
plaintive groan. But to the doctor, who

to accomplish his cure, he expressed the

Novel Fractional Currency.

1t is not generally known that if a 81
greenback is ne atty cut in two each of
the halves is good for 80 cents at the
Federal Treasury. The same process
can be carried on till the bill is divided
into tenths without injuring the aliquot
value of its parts. This has been sug-
gested as an easy way of obtainin g
small sums to send by mail, now that
the extremely convenient fractional cur
rency has disappeared; but it is not
likely to be generally adopted; a half
note being an awkward thing to pass,
except at a bank. The popular objec-
ton to such fragments comes down
from time when one-haf bank-note
was worthless without the other half. 1t
is SO to-day in England, and the division
of a Bank of England note is frequent
way of insuring its safety when sent by
mail. Major Powers, prominent Off
Ger in the Treasury Department of long
experience, proposes that the back Of
one dollar greenbacks be hereafter di-
vided by the device printed upon them
into four parts, SO as to be cut up at
pleasure, each quarter being good in
small sums for twenty-five cents. This
would enable the community to supply
itself with its own fractional currency
at pleasure, and it would also probably
increase enormously the share of one
dollar notes which would never come
back to the Treasury.-Springteid
(Kass.) Republican.
