though all the questions upon which
they began itare disposed of. "What
are you fellows fighting for, now that
Lee and Johnston have surrendered
and the Confederacy has gone up?"
shouted Union soldier to rebel
picket in the Southwest in the last
days of the war. "For our rights in
the Territories under the bred Scott
decision," was the stubborn answer.
And perhaps that is what the Demo-
cratic party is fighting for. Who
knows?
1t is curious outlook. AT no
time in its history has the Democrat
ic party been so utterly destitute of
either principle of union or rallying
cry. Nor has the Republican party
ever seemed more deserving of pub
lie cofidence; we doubt if it ever
stood higher in popular esteem. We
do not pretend to read the political
horoscope, but the existing condi-
tons seems to us 20 point to the
probable continuance of Republican
ascendancy for many years to come.

Unhealthy Milk.

DR.. Brush, of New York, calls attention
70 the fact that the sale of diseased and
po.soned milk is matter of more serious
moment than that Of watered or skinned
milk. lie suggests as an outline of an i'm
proved system of milk laws: First, that
all city milk dealers should be COM
PEELED to procure license from the Board
of Health; secondly that all milk dealers
report to the Board the quantity of milk
they sell and where it is obtained; thlrdly,
that in the death certificates of all children

tain specified forms Of disease, the name
of the mllkmsn who had supplied them be
inserted. By some such plan the Board
would be enabled 10 detect poisonous milk
II a certain form of infsntile trouble was
found TO exist among the customers of u
certain milkman, An inspector could be
sent to the source from which the milk
came to ascertain if there-had been an
epidemic In the dairy, or If any OF the
cattle were suffering from disease, and il
the milk from COW too soon after calving
had been sent to the city. A few years of
observation like this, carried on conscien-
tiously, he thinks, would enable the Board
to propose inte eligent laws regulating the
sale OF milk. Of one fact he is thoroughly
convinced-that the sale Of poisonous milk
in New York city produces more trouble
than If the whole supply was pure, healthy
SKINNED milk.

4 race with Buffalo.

Mr.. Matthews, OF Coleman, Texas,
who has Just crossed the Staked Plains,
from Las Vegas, n. NJ, says: AwfulIy
grand are the Llano Estacodos. Here the
majestic bisou roams, breaths pure air
and enjoys freedom; the home of thous-
ands of feet-footed antelopes and droves
of wild horses. When first the horses
sean you they bow their necks maies-
tically, sniff heavens pure zephyrs,
snort, peform an evolution with the
exactness of ali expert, then bound
away with the velocity of the wind,
measuring distance by time, thus bid
ding defiance to the fieetest horseman.
We discovered n herd of buffalo that
morning and prepared for action, armed
with Mr.. Cleveland's long range Iitie;
soon firing began, making four shots
without effect. The noble beasts halt
ed, raised their shaggy names, took IN
a snuff Of pure air. then bounded away,
their tramps sounding like distant
thunder. But, ahi the chicanery of
man oyerpowers even the buffalo.
Orion Allen and Owen Burnham, each
with saddles, steeds, arms, well equipped,
dashed simultaneously across the roll
ing prairie bent on capturing the noble
game. Over the broad plains went
humping the majestic beasts, mile after
mile was measured by Orion and Owen,
still roweling their excited steeds In
hot pursuit, at every bound lessening
the distance between themselves and
their game; as the vision grew dim 1t
was seen Owen brought one beast to
the earth. Orion was still in hot pur-
suit of the herd and finally cut one out

sive took effect: big buffalo was NOR

How some People Dance.

Though dancing Is popular amuse-
ment the world over, there are compare
lively few really graceful dancers. Some
men are pitiful sights when they get up
to dance. Awkwardness is no name for
their clumsy movements. The tlmid
dancer first looks scared and then gets
red-fac,d and then reckless, and fans
the floor with his feet as if he had
secreted something IN knot hole and
was covering it with surrounding dirt.
Sometimes he is about four bars ahead
of the music, and then as far behind
He spasmodicaly clutch his partner,
vho feels as if she were jammed between
two freight cars. He holds his breath
till he bursts off his collar button, and
then blows off steam with prolonged
grunt. When the dance is over he
stands paralyzed and dizzy for a mo-
ment, while the room seems to revolve
like a turn table. When he reaches a
seat he flops down like COB OF mud,
and turns to swabbiRg the back of his
neck or fumbling with the bottom Of
his vest, which perhaps has become so
displaced by his violent exertions as to
expose a white cash of shirt across the
abdomen,

DuriLg the last two or three years
bark containing quinIne and quInidine
has been imported into England from
Columbia in such enormous quantities
AS to equal or even sometimes exceed
the whole of the importations of cincho-
IA bark from all other countries. The
botanical source of this bark, which Is
known III commerce under the name of
Cuprea Cinchona, on account of its pc
culiar coppery tint. has hitherto been n
mystery. NJ. Triana, the well known
quinologlst, has recently succeeded in
tracingit out and has stated that it is de-
rived In great measure from two spe-
cles of the nearly allied genus RemDia,
none of the members of which were pre-
viously known to contain quinine. Seve-
raj species of Remyia have leaves re-
sembling those of the true cinchonas,
and OF these Nj. Triana has determined
that r. o,rdieana. Wedd. ,and II. eduR-
cuLdta, karsten, certainly yield ;cuprea
bark, the former being the species
which contains the alkaloid cinchona-
mine, recently discovered by n. Arnaud.
1t appears probable that other species
also yield the cuprea cinchona of COM
merce, but definite information ON this
point Is still wanting. The value of the
bark has led, according to NJ. Triana,
to great devastation of the forests in
which the trees grow, and has produced
a financial stagnation, business being
neglected in order to follow the more
profitable occupation of collecting the
bark. Fortunately seeds of the tree
have been received and are now in culti-
vation at Malvern House, Sydenham.
The tree is likely to prove valuable for
cultivation in countries where malarial
fever abounds, since it grows at an
elevation of 20O-1000 metres above the
sea, at which even red cinchona bark
will not flourish.

Araibi Bey's Birth.

About fifty years ago there lived in
the Delta of Egypt, near a small hamlet
called el-Wiih, worshiping farmer Of
some means, whose wife was barren.
This farmer, or landowner, was a man
of some Influence among his clan, which
was originally descended from the Bed
awin Arabs of the Eastern desert, but
had become "domesticated" and had
settled down on the borders of the Delta
as tIllers of the soil. His friends had
often told him that the cause of his
wIfe's barrenness was, of course, known
to the Omniscient only; but that as she
was an Egyptian of the low lands and
he was descended from the stock of
Abraham and his eldest son Ishmael,
God would be much more likely to
bless him with offspring were he to take
unto himself wife from among the
children of the desert.
He accordingly sent eastward to GER
tain wandering tribes, and in due course
of time had brought to him true
Bedawin gIrl. This girl, knowing that
she had been taken to wife by her hus-
band only with view to offspring, had,
on her way to el-WUh, passed by the
resting place OF the remains of Our
Lady Nafeessah between Zagazig and
Ismailah), TO there pray that she might
be blessed soon with a male child, that
she might find favor with her lord.
During the night that this true Arabian
girl, who was ON the eve of marriage,
spent at the tomb of the soul giving Nu-
feessah she had a dream. A man cloth
ed in the robes of the religious order of
law docto.s appeared to her, saying:
Go in peace to thy intended husband,
for thou shalt find favor in his eyes,"
In the fullness of time she gave birth
to a male child, and when the midwife
bore the glad tidings to the father he
exclaimed: "Ahmad-al-P Aha'' which
means. "Ipraise God" Wherefore all
the women friends, when they heard
what the father had said, declared that
the boy should be called Ahmad. Ahmad
grew up to be stalwart youth, and
was known among his fellows by the
appellative ''el- Urabi," because of his
descent from the Arabs in contradlstie-
ton with the Egyptians.

Utilizing Waste Products.

There Is no better example Cf tie
utilization of what was formerly re
garded as waste material ON the farm,
than that of cotton seed. Formerly
regarded as worthless, and worse than
that, because it cost something to cart
it away and dump it into the bayou or
creek, IL now forms no small part Of the
value of the cotton crop and has added
millions to the wealth of the cotton
producing States. In ordinary grown
cotton, there are two pounds of seed for
one of lint, and oue thousand pounds
Of seed makes seventeen gallons of oil
worth readily forty cents per gallon.
The resulting oil cake Is also considered
more valuable as food for animals or as
a fertilizer than the seed was before the
oil was removed. Both the oil and the
oil cake are in great demand in France
and Italy, and in many places the
refined oil is taking the place of the oil
of olives.
In this place it is taking the place OF
lard, and only few days ago, an agent
of Boston firm was IL this city taking
orders of some of our grocers. 1t can
be furnished cheaper, is a vegetable
product and pure, and for the general
purposes for which lard is used, the
purified cotton seed oil is said to be
much better besides being cheaper. BY
a new process, the oil is also solidified
and largely used as a Substitute for
butter, beng most acceptable substi
tIte, selling at wholesale for 81 gal
Ion, and retailing much higher. The
butter made from the seed taken from
a bale OF cotton Is said to be worth SIC.
an almost net addition TO the value of
the cotton crop. When the seed is first
received at the oil mills, it is carefully
and about ten per cent. of
short cotton lint is saved, which is
used for making the finest quality of
batting. 1t then passes to another
which takes off the hulls,
passing them to the engine room to be
used for fuel. The kernels are then /
crushed and pressed the same as flax
seed, the resulting oil being barreled, |
while the hard cake is bagged up in 100 |
pound packages or ground up and sold |
for cattle feeding purposes, greatly |
adding both 20 the value of the beef |
md the manure.
correspondent speaking of the |
value Of this comparatively new indus
try, says that it adds fully twenty-tiv
per cent. to the cotton industry of the
States producing that staple. For the
census year 1S79-S0, the crop was re-
ported to be 5, 737, 257 bales, averaging
800 pounds each, and worth $780,
'62, $50, to which this newly developed
product will add still further value of
81. 713, ,210, or nearly as much as the
.ntire ennual product of all the gold
md silver mines of the United States
)ut together.

Rover had been awoke By his move

and watched him out Of one corner of
his eye. As long as he was eating he
did not disturb him, for he thought to
himself. even sparrow must eat;'
but the minute he had what the dog
considered enough, Rover with a sudden
unexpected growl and snap, which again
very greatly frightened him, drove him

Nay. Cover would allow him to perch
on his trough. and eat out of 1t with
him. though if any of the other spar
rows attempted to take the same liberty
he drove them off, as ever, with groyl
and a snap.
Often and often, when Rover was
curled up fast asleep. the sparrow would
be seen sitting on him as comfortably
as possible, and there was an under
standing between them that both were
quite content with their positions.
You can fancy how much. amused
Harry and julia were, when they found
out the friendship between Rover and

them knew in what enmity and trouble
that iendship had first begun.

How Much Makes a Man IL cl.

To be Iich, !" said William L. Marcy
at one time Secretary of State, ''requires
only satisfactory condition of mind.
One man may be rich with hundred
dollars, while another, in the possession
of millions, may think himself poor. and
if necessities of life are enjoyed by each
1T is evident that the man who is best
satisfied with his possessions is the rich
est" To illustrate this idea Mr.. Marcy
related the following ane cdote: "While
] was governor of the State of New York
L was called on one morning at my
office by a rough specimen of back
woodsman, who stalked in and commen-
ced conversation by inquiring ''if this

when he broke in: 'Oh yes you are. ]
