Exporting sheep.

We clip from ale number OF the
New York Her I'D the following state
ments concerning the profits realized in
exporting sheep: In conversation with
q business man of this city, who has
paid great deal of attention 10 the SUBJ
iect, we CLEAN the following facts with
reference TO the profits TO be derived
from the shipment Of TAT sheep from the
West to New York, for export TO Eng
land. Sheep, he says, can be driven TO
Utah, New Mexico or Colorado at a
cost not 70 exceed fifty cents per head.
In either OF these Territories double

New York. Say $6 20 per head, or Ss6s

Quoted the cost Of 40 sheep at %, cost

it leaves the handsome sum Of Si06 per

From the same grntlemnn we learn that
parties engaged in exporting mutton TO
England are now making contracts in
Canada at eight cent, per pound. That
the M after is receiving the attention OF
stockraisers in other parts Of this State
is evidenced by the fact that last week
5000 were shipped from Red Bluff.

FOX THE FAIR SEX.
Farmers' Daushtsrs.

London PaH M,U Gazere says:
"Epgland can no longer furnish her own
butter. The cheaper kinds come from
America. for Americans. even with
their rich pastures and improved stock
of cows, cannot make the best grade.
The high-priced grades come to South
amp'on from Norm INDY and Brittany.
And why is good butter not made in
EnelandP Becau-e the dairymaid with
her pail is thing OF poetry and the past.
Because farmers wives and daughters
now think dairy work degradation"
The GAZETTE proceeds to state the
enormous income which dairy farming
carried on by women has brought TO
France; the daughter of dairy farmer
often receiving dover OF twenty thou
sand dollars on her wedding day. Much
Of it is the product of her own work.
skill and management.
We might g on with the inquiry.
Why cannot Americans make the best
grade Of butter? Because the business
has gone out OF the hands Of the farmers

chinery. Near Philajelphia, in the
rich hill-farms, there are a few old
Quaker danes and their daughters who
are not ashamed Of this old-time craft ;
whose yellow fragrant pats Of butter.

But" says the farmer, "are our
daughters, who have rec ived a modern
education, to 60 back to the old drudg-
cry Of their grandmothersr
We question whether the modern edu-
cation has not made them despise too
much the old drudgeryP
In the majority OF cases. these daugh-
tiers are still compelled to work for their
living. They crowd into the cities, as
poor artists, china decorators, clerks,
shop-girls, or they besiege editors with
mawkish verses.
In this slighted dairy work is q paying

An Interesting Cave.

Crystal Hill cave, near Stroufsburx.
Pa, has just been carefully explored by
Professors Leidy and Porter. The bot.
tom was found to be covered with clay,
on the top OF which was a deposit Of Q
dark substance, and on this is an in
crustation of lime. which has fallen
from the roof of the cave. 1t is the de.
posit of rich, dark material that par
hcularly interests the scientists. The
explorers found many indications Of the
presence in the cave at one time or an.
other of many animals, s'me OF which
were doubtless brought there by ami.
mails of prey, and Others used 1t tor their
dens. Among the bones Of animals
were the Jaw on, of the raccoOn,
skunk, weasel, b.ave squirrel, porcu-
pine, woodchuck, iox, wildcat, elk.
deer and bison; the shells of two or
more turtles, the bones Of wild turkeys.
and the verteH,e of snakes in large
quantities. The most interesting speci-
mems found, however, were the head
and teeth OF q gigantic beaver end q
large pt ccary, neither OF which have
ever cen found before IN Penusy lvaDia.
Besides these were bones WHICH had
been burned and split-evidently the
work OF the aborigiDes. who sought the
marrow. Indian relics. were also found.
A flint spear head was picked up far
back in the cave, imbedded in the clay.
How it came there il mystery. unless
some Indians, entering the cave and
finding q will beast there, attacked it,
and this spear, hurled at the animal,

MY FIRST CIGAR.

Twas just behind the woodshed,
One glorious summer day.
Far DER the hills the sinking sun
Pursued It's westward way.
And in my lone seclusion,
safely removed afar
From all earth's confusion,
smoked my first cigar.
All, bright the boyish fancies
Wrapped in the wreath Of blue;
Ny eyes grew dim. my head was light.
The woodshcd around me few.
Dark night closed in around me,
Rayless. without a star,
Grim death thought had found me,
And spoiled my first cigar.
All. pallid was my noble brow.
The waning night WAS late,
My startled mother cried. In fear.
"My child. what have you ate7"

II seemed so strange and far

Potentiality.

Professor Benjamin Pierce is quoted as
saying:
"The original chaos must have been
invisible. Luminousness is evidence of
living force. Yet we can imagine what
chaos is from what we see about us. The
grains of sand, the cold planets, and dead
suns may be potentially chaos
We had supposed that the Nebular
Theory was the precise converse of this
that chaos was potentially sand, planet,
sun, and everything else Which state
ment is mostcredible2 Each is equally un-
ineligible. Itreminds us of a paragraph
in late newspaper which attributes to
Prof. Alcott the following deliverance at
the late philosophical seance at Concord :
Actually is the th5ngne8s of the here"
Whereto the editor modestly subioins-
1t is with reluctance that we differ from
