Unbiased Judging at Fairs

[ have never investigated methods
Of coloring the skin, ears, and horns,
but have often seen cases where it was
most bunglingly done. The horns
seem difficult to color, the dye or col
oring matter rubs off so easily. 1t
occurred to me years ago, that a cow s
horn might be stained by nitric acid
(opua tortis), just as it colors the
finger nails and skin of the hands of
those who handled it, or come in con-
tact with the strong fumes, but until
recently [ have never suspected its
being done. A friend of mine bought
Of one Of those doctors, breeders,
successful exhibitors, and great elbow
ers, " who are fifty elassed as "cow-
Jockeys . The horns were especially
yellow, and naturally SO to all appear
ance. The color was surely part and
parcel of the outer she'll Of the horn
itself, and the texture Of the horn
gave no indication that it was corroded
by acid or other active "chemical. ;"
After few weeks the horn began to
scale and crumble on the outside, and
HHm aG3a IF It 9f gEI y9sRG suRs6a
and the horn has entirely lost this
very attractive tint. It seems to me
that some Of our agricultural chemists
may suggest test which may be APP
piled to horns colored in this way.
How delightful it would be, for in
stance, to be able to sponge over a
dyed horn with some solution which
would leave a natural surface unaffect-
ed and turn the stain to bright blue
1t would be a pleasant way Of calling
attention to the skill Of the exhibitor
in the art and mystery of dyeing
horns, for the judges to be able thus
to bring out fine scarlet or blue tint
upon one horn and leave the other as
sample Of the exhibitors handiwork.

pondence on the subject, as well as
from a campaign speech of Secretary
Sherman at Cincinnati on Aug. 80, in
which he said: II have never said one
word impugning Gen. Arthur's honor
and integrity as man and a gentle
man, but he was not in harmony with
the views of the administration in the
management of the custom-house. "
For the next two years Mr.. Arthur
devoted himself to the practice of his
profession, when he suddenly came in
to national prominence as the nominee
of the Chicago convention for the
vice presidency. His candidacy, some
what surprising as it was, was the
result of two causes; first, the indifer-
ence Of the people and of conventions
as to VINO shall receive what is called
the empty honor of the vice-president-
ial nomination; and, second the desire
to conciliate Mr.. Conkling and assure
his co operation in the campaign by
the selection Of some one agreeable to
him. 1t has not been proved that he
named Gen. Arthur for the place, but
it is absolutely certain that he indirect
ly indicated him; less perhaps to Sc
cure friend in high Office, than as a
recompense for the previous removal
against which he had vainly protested.
Neither directly or indirectly did Mr..
Arthur take any leading part in the
Presidential canvass. AS is usual,
the head of the ticket carried it
through; and last November he was
elected Vice President being seventh
occupant of that office from the state
of New York. His predecessors were
Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Daniel
D. Tompkins, Martin Van Buren,,
Willard Fillmore and William A.
Wheeler.

There is a story that the popular
hymn, 1.-THE Sweet By and By" was
the work of two men while drunk
Joseph P. Webster, who composed the
music, died several years ago. DR.. s.
F. Bennett, author of the verses, lives at
Richmond. Ill. He says that the charge
of intoxication is untrue, though Web
ster was free drinker. The two wrote
hymn book in 1874, and 1.-THE Sweet
By and By" was one of the pieces joint
ly produced for it. The suggestion came
from chance remark by Webster, who
was habitually despondent, that all
would be we'll "by and by" Bennett
at once made the rhyme. and Webster
brought the music out of a fiddle. which
was his customary aid in composition
The hymn book now is forgotten but
this one tune is put into every new
publication of the kind, and has sale
of about 10000 copies a year in sheet
form DIR Bennett says that he and
Webster were not orthodox Christians
when the hymn was written, and that
he is now even less believer r.-Ralti-

1.-THE following is one of the sweetest litt
ditties in the English language, and findi
lodgment in the heart because of its charmil
rusticity and native purityl:-
Oh, who has not seen Kittie Clyde?
She lives at the foot of the hill,
In a sly little nook
By the babbling brook
That carries her fathers old mill.
Oh, who does not love Kittie Clyde?
That sunny-eyed. rosy-cheeked lass,
With a sweet dimpled chin
That looks roguish as sin,
And always a smile as you pass.
Chorus-Sweet Kittie! Dear Kittie
My own sweet Kittie Clyde!
In sly little nook
By the side of the brook,
Lives my own sweet Kittie Clyde
With basket to put in her fish,
Every morning, with line and hook,
This sly little lass,
Through the tall heavy grass,
Steals along by the clear running brook.
She throws her line into the stream
And trips 1t along the brook side,
Oh, how do wish
That was flsh,
To be caught by sweet Kittie Clyde.
Ch0rus-Sweet Kittie! etc,
Or, If 1 were some little bird
I'd not build my nest In the air,
But I'd sit by the side
OF sweet Kittie Clyde,
And weave in her soft silken hair.
Or, If were some little bee
I'd not gather honey from the flowers
But I'd steal one sip
From Kittie's sweet lip,
And make my hive In her bowers.
Chorus-Sweet Kittie! etc.

come to the conclusion every spring
that the circus is immoral, but then the
bill-poster comes along with the big pic
lures, and our mind changes. AS we
gaze at the lions, tigers, and monkeys,
and think that nature made all of them,
we are not sure And when we look at
the beautiful young lady with nothing
on but a blue ribbon round her waist,
with one leg pointing at O'Clock and
the other to high noon, and think thai
nature made her, too, just as she is, ex'
cept the ribbon, we begin to lean up tc
the circus. But when the brass band
begins to play and the elephants &C
round, we rush for front seat, to gel
in ahead of the ministers, who always
wear stove-pipe hats and won't si
down in 'front.' MorshdU Ioaoa) States
