In the issue of the TRANSCRIPT of
June 9Th, we published news item In
regard to the taking up of 81 head of cat
tie near the State line by Messrs. Rathbun
& Cox Of Spring Valley. We stated that
these gentlemen drove the cattle home.
They inform US that such is not the fact,
and we gladly make the correction.
They say the cattle were driven from near
the Norwegian church in Adams to a
point ~ miles north of Adams village
to the herd. They supposed they belong
ed to their herd at the time, that the cat.
tie had not then been branded, and that
number or more had stampeded from the
herd: A force of about 20 men came to
the herd to take the cattle by force, which
Messrs. r. & G. resisted. They only ask.
cd for two or three days delay until they
could get their books from the Valley and
"check up" and only wanted what right
fully belonged to them. Up to this time
but 81 of the 81 head have been claimed.

barley, and oats shot up with extraor-
binary rapidity under the influence of
continuous light, but did not arrive at
maturity. Their growth having been
too rapid for their strength caused them
to fall to the ground after having at
tanned the height of about twelve inches.
Seed of wheat, barley, and oats planted
in the open air and grown under the in
auence Of the external electric light pro-
duced, however, more satisfactory re-
suits. Having been sown in rows on
January 6, they terminated with difficulty
on account of frost and snow on the
ground, but developed rapidly when
milder weather set in, and showed ripe
grain by the end of June, having been
aided in their growth by the electric
light until the beginning Of May.

Seusible Advice.

There is nothing like their own home for
married people, and especially for young
married people, even if the wife shall have
to cook and sweep the floor and clean the
windows. If she be healthy girl the exer-
else will do her good-and no young man
who has to labor for his living should marry
girl that is not healthy, strong, and will
ling to do her own work while they are too
poor to hire servant. This thing of mar
rying girl that you have to hire another
girl to take care of is not wise thing for
poor young man to do. He should look out
for girl that is broad-shouldered, strong in
muscle, having of course other virtues. The
ideal girl, the consumptive, tight-laced,
psrty-going, piano. playing, Fren ,h-talking.
fashionable girl, can be no proper wife for
him. This language the girls may think
unkind, but it is not. 1t is better for girls
that are not fitted to be poor mans wife to
remain with their parents than to become
SUCH 1t will be better for their lovers, too,
and better for society. A girl then that
does not know how to cook fairly, or who
would not when necessary cheerfully cook
for her husband, ought not to marry any
but a rich man-and no poor man should
marry her. If, then, girls without dowry
are content to marry young men who have
only their fond hearts, their good name,
their strong arms, their ambition to make
their wives happy, and their hope to work
up to a competence through frugality and
industry, these girls should know how to
cook-and they ought to be ashamed to
marry any such man until they have learned
the art of cooking. For such girl to marry
such man would be neither more nor less
than a social fraud. unless she shall before
engagement inform him fully of her igno-
rance on this subject. 1t is well, then, to
have these schools of cookery to which girls
whose mothers have not taught them the
art can go and learn-and we hope that the
day is near at hand when girls that are can
didates for matrimony will pride themselves
more on their ability to cook good dinner
than on their ability to dance, sing. play, or
fool away precious time on less useful
things. Then the world will be better and
the people in it will be happier than they
are now, and the youth that shall be born
in the land will be of greater bone, tougher
sinew, and of parer blood.

Chinese.

We think the Chinese dress queer; the
Chinese think ours the same. Each nation
makes its own stvle the standard of COM
parison. An Englishman travelling through
China was often amused by hearing the
free criticism of the people on his clothing
and appearance. On his arrival at an inn a
crowd would gather, and he would hear
such remarks as these:
"What a curious looking fellowl Re has
no cue and doesn't shave his head"
"And look at his tight clothes! They are
not elegant"
Just so; and look at his hat, what a
queer thingl What ugly eyes he has His
boots, however, are excellent; do you not
think so2"
"Oh, yes, indeed; and I am told they
never wear out, and water can't get through
them"
If the over-curious people were driven
out of the travellers room, they would col
lect around the window. Those in front
would make peep holes in the paper-.here
are no glass windows-wlth their fng ars,
and gaze for hours at the barbarian.
Free criticism would be offered as to his
barbarous method of eating with pronged
fork, thereby endangering his eyes and
mouth, and at the odd mixture Of cold
drinks and hot food. And that he should
have two or three kinds of vegetables or
his plate at once. But the strangest thing
OF all, the one they could not comprehend
| was that he should have left his home to
wander about their country.

With apron as white as snow,
Her plump arms bare up To the elbow,
And ON her cheeks rosy glow;

And hll the plates of largest size:
For well she knew how hungry children
Enjoyed her huekleberry pies.
And father; he'd come in from haying,
And stand by mother very near
And say: Now. wife, il all the township
None make such pies as you, dear,
Except, perhaps, my dear old mother:
Why, at the Fair, you'd take the prize,

pace moved toward Foote, who was ad-
dressing the Senate from his desk near the
main isle. The Vice President demanded
"order" and several Senators tried to hold
Benton back; but he broke loose from his
keepers and was rapidly moving upon his
foe. When he saw Benton nearing him,
Foote sprang into the main aisle and re-
treated toward the Vice President, present

pressed it, as he advanced backward"
In the meantime Benton had been so OBJ

that Foote, il disposed to shoot, cou ID not
have done SO without firing through the
crowd. But Benton, with several Senators
hanging to him, now proceeded round the
lobby so as to meet FOOte at the opposite
side ofthe Chamber. Tearing himselfaway

throwing open his bosom, ne said: "Lst him

fury, and ragged and raved, the helpless VIC

an uproar in Legislative body; but the
Sergeant-st-Arm at last restored order,
when Mr.. Clay suggested that both parties
should voluntarily enter into bonds to keep
the peace; upon which Benton instantly
rose, and said: "I'll rot in Jail, sir, before l

Butler and Terrapin.


During the last Administration Butler,
Blaine and Evarts sat together in friendly
confab at dinner company. Secretary
Evarts-a high liver-smacked his lips over
the terrapin stew, and turning to Butler
asked: General, how much would it cost a
year to have terrapin for dinner every dayr
An estimate was made. "But, General, l
can not affor 4 so expensive'a q luxury, and
yet would exceedingly like to treat myself
and my friends to this delicacy daily. You
who are so experienced in framing bills and
engineering them through Congress, can

But lights of God,

And tell us, In each subtle hue.
That life renewed is passing through
Our world again to seek the skies
Its native realm of Paradise.
How brief their dayi
They can not stay.

And spreads er ample bosom deep,
