One OF the schemes of the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts Ashmead-Bartlett like the Vicar, we love to
give the whole name is the encouragement of goat
raising among the poorer population of England,
and an effort is made TO bring some of the better
breeds here. We do not believe that it will sue
coed. The goat is the poor mans friend when he
can get no better; he thrives upon bare rocks and
thistles; but his flesh is rank and his milk unpal-
atabe compared to that of the cow. The American
has millions of acres of succulent pasture lying
waste. He can do better than drink milk, and he
will not be deceived like Isaac of old into eating
goats meat made up into any savory stew and
thinking it venison. Different imported cheeses
made of goats milk, however, Roquefort and Others
bring good prices in the market There is no reason
why should not rear goats enough to make these
cheeses at home. Neufchatel and Bre are made to
perfection here why not the othersP Who will

This will was carried away mp to the Court of

use the property during her lifetime; that the
children and grandchildren had the right at her
death to claim a division of it among them In
fact, she sold and conveyed some land comprised

does OF defend the murderers of kings. Free
dom does not strip men Of decency or hui
manity. But this country ought to make it
distinctly understood that it knows no excuse
whatever for the murder of unofficial and
innocent persons, on the pretext that
their death may possibly serve some
political end. Regcide is crime, but there
may sometimes be excuses for the killing of
kings. For the murder of other individuals
who bear no responsibility for the conduct of
foreign Governments, there is not the slightest
shadow of excuse, at any time or under
any circumstances The man who COM
mits such crime, even though it be
in the hope that some political object
may be attained, is entitled to no cOnsidera-
ton, leniency, excuse or shelter as political
offender. He is simply ut war with all social
order, and in instruction against all ciyiliza-
ton. He deserves no more pity or pro-
lection than the snake whose head it is theright
and duty of humanity to crush. There cannot be
conceived meaner nor more cowardly crimes
than those which threaten the lives of many
who have no political responsibility, on the
chance of reaching the life of hated ruler
The United States, under some conceivable
circumstances, might shelter the enemy of
a foreign State. 1t is even possible that
n cOnspiratOr against the life of a
foreign ruler, in extreme circumstances,
might have the sympathy of this people. But
there are 10 circumstances conceivable which
would win the slightest sympathy of Ameri-
cans for the infamous and cOwardly creatures
who aim at the massacre of innocent, ire
sponsbe and helpless human beings, upon the
mere chance that some political object may
thereby be reached.

In temperance but she is also largely endowed with

the Temperance people of Ohio were going to nom-

and has been n chronic candidate for Governor. lie
