The Common Cow.

If a common COW has the marks of good
mixer, it is wisdom to breed from her.
Whether or not her calf will inherit her good
qualities, time alone can tell. 1t is right here
that the value of improved stock is greatest
Its characteristics are fixed, and will be re-
produced. 1t is here too where the value OF
registered pedigree is apparent. The fact
that a book contains the brief statement of
the ancestors of an animal is nothing Of itself
But the fact that it tells that the animal has
certainly come from long tine of ancestors,
which have regularly transmitted their char
acteristics. is everything, for it not only show
that the animal itself possesses the family
characteristics to greater or less degree, but
that it in tur will be able to transmit them
The common COW may reproduce herself, and
she may not. The purely bred COW will re-
produce herself, with possibly slight varia-
ton. under proper breeding.
1t is too often the case that the owners Of
common cows get an erroneous impression
when their attention has been called to the
desirability of improving their herds. They
are convinced perhaps that it would be to
their interest to breed up, or rather to i'm
prove the character Of their herds but
thinking that the only way to do this IL to
purchase outright, they may not feel like 60
ing to the expense. Some of the best cows
in the country are crosses of our common
stock with the improved breeds, and IL man
owns common COW that has proved herself
a valuable dairy animal, he has excellent en-
couragement to use her for crossing. 1t is
every mans duty to breed up. 1t is throw
ing away money to keep an inferior animal
when we can just as well have a better one.

Evil Results of Smoking.

NY debut as a smoker was like everybody's
My first pipe made me very i'll and it was
only by degrees that managed to become q
third-rate smoker-that is, disposed of
eight or ten pipes a day without inconve-
nience. But whenever l exceeded that
average I suffered from violent sick head
aches, ushered in by indistinctness of vision,
and numbness of one side of the face, the
tongue and one arm, most often on the left
side. These preliminary symptoms lasted
about ten minutes, after which the headache
came on in full force. The most refractory
organ, however, was my stomach. After
having smoked too much used to experience
the symptom known as pyrosis or heartburn
to very trying extent, though as any aka
line water speedily caused these phenomena
to vanish did not care to give up my
tobacco.
About q year ago, having smoked for some
months more than usual, suddenly found
myself affected by peculiar and terrific
pain over the region Of the heart; in short,
had violent attack of angina pectoris. Il
put stop to my smoking, as. though I have
since tried once or twice, have always found
my cigar or pipe detestable, and, to sum up,
am radically converted. / do not wish to
discuss scientifically the NICOTINE origin oi
my sufferings, but am sure that they al
sprang from the same cause-excessiye use
Of tobacco. Degeneration of the cardiac
muscle is often caused by tobacco. So Ions
as the rest of his organism remains in good
working order the smoker only experience,
intermittent palpitation, and the grav,
injury done the heart remains unperceivet
until some trifling cause brings into relief thu
irremediable disorders produced by the pro
longed use Of tobacco.-Dr. Desehamps /,

1t is reported that there are ,, 800. .0Oo
acres more of cereals this year than last.
this is Justly accounted for from the fact
that some of the Southern States are taking
up this branch of agriculture more largely
than before. The wheat yield of the
United States for this year is roughly es-
timated at nearly $40. .0OO, 200 bushels and
that of corn more than 100000 bushels.
1t is still question how much of this
great crop Erope will need. If the. war
in Egypt should continue it may possibly
interfere with the shipment of grain from
the Black Sea, and in that event there will
be an increased demand for the surplus
grain in this country.

THE LAST aooD-BY.
RY J. CHANDLER MKLvIN.

(An incident Of Decoration Day, June 30. 1852.
Fragrant was the air with blossoms,
Bright the sunlight shimmered down
ON the little band of veterans.
Marching through Northern town.
Marching TO the quiet graveyard,
Where their comrades. cold and dumb,
Slept the sleep that knows no waking
At the sound of fife and drum.
Close beside an spen window,
Pillowed in an easy chair,
Sat soldier sick and dying,
Waiting for his comrades there.
Once again he wished TO greet them,
Once more clasp each friendly hand
Ere he LEFT this earth forever.
Journeying toward the heavenly land.
Marching TO the house, they halted,
And their eyes with tears grew dim,
As across the open easement
One by one shook hands with him.
Backward came the soldiers marching,
Pale and still their comrade lay,
He WAS mustered out forever
Ere the closing Of that day.

House Of Representatives on the 18th
inst. in opposition to the bill ito pro-
vide for the appointment Of com
mission to investigate the questions of

He opposed it as unconstitutional and
as a measure which would delegate to
civil commission outside of
Congress the power to formulate
legislation. He insisted that the pres
ent high tariff for protection is uncOn.
stitutional and outrageous, and should
be reduced by Congress at once with

GOVERNOR Crittenden, of Missouri,
has evidently carried out his part Of
the contract with the Ford boys. The
Grand Jury found an indictment
against them, yesterday at noon, aud
an hour later they we're brought into
court, plead guilty and were sentenced
to be hung on the 19th of May, and a
little later were Internationally par
dOned. Everybody in that region
probably breathes easier since Jesse
James was killed, but not many would
like to take the place of the Ford
boys, even with pardons and rewards
in their pockets. If they live many
years it will be surprising. The out.
laws are scattered, but not all dead

all are as bad, as their late leader.

Miss Mackay and the Ugly LILLE
Prince.

Mrs HOOper's Paris Letter to the Philadelphia
Telegraph
The French papers have all an
nounced the engagement Of Miss Eva
Mackay to Prince Philippe de Bour-
bon, and have since been kept busy in
contradicting the report, in which
there was not one word of truth. The
young lady, who is beautiful, mod
est, retiring young girl, only nineteen
years of age, does not know the Prince,
who is a very ugly little man, with a
list of debts as long as his pedigree.
He was wild to marry Miss Aver, the
daughter Of the late DR.. j. G. Aver,
some time ago, but that young lady,
who has been described to me as a
very intelligent, sensible and charming
girl, would not consent to barter heI
wealth for the name Of Bourbon and
very ugly husband thrown into the
bargain. Nor have Mr.. and Mrs
Mackay the slightest idea Of achieving
French alliance for their daughter
She has already, TO my certain knowl
edge, been sought in marriage by
members Of the minor branches Of two
Of the reigning houses Of Europe, bu
her wise parents declare that when She
does marry she shall marry an Ameri

for herself, after the American fashion

IT seems to be generally understood
that some Of the bondholders or New
York spectators, which is to some ex-
tent the same thing, viii submit a
proposition to Governor Hawkins, and
that the upshot of it will be another
extra session and, of course, a pro-
longed wrangle. There are some good
men in this Legislature of both par
ties, but as body it is not in very
high repute, and the sooner it quits
tinkering with the debt ques-
ton the better all around. The
people are not in humor to accept
any settlement that this General
Assembly is likely to be able
to make. A majority of the members,
we believe, would rather be at home
attending to their private affairs; but
if there are any who are not
worth or cannot earn four dol
lars day at home, they
may secretly prefer to bask awhile
longer on the hillsides and hilltops of
Nashville. The Governor seems to
dote on extra sessions, aud to live in
perpetual hope that something will be
done before he retires permanently TO
Huntingdon that will render his ad-
ministration illustrious. 1t is, never
theless, matter Of grave doubt
whether his name will ever be attached
to an act that will permanently settle
the debt of Tennessee.

Cincinnati Commercial Lettsr.l

Cincinnati Commercial letter.
There is much in the papers now
about Governor Crittenden, of Mis- |
souri,, and Governor Murray, of Utah,
that it may be of interest to your read
ers to know who they are. They are
half brothers, having the same moth
er, Her maiden name was Annie
Marie Allen. She first married Henry
Crittenden, brother Of John j.
Critenden, a Kentucky lawyer and
politician Of promise, but who died
early from the effects Of wound in
flicted by that famous desperate, John
U. Waring, Of Varsaills, KY. Mr..
Crittenden left several children, the
youngest of whom is the present Gov.
ernor of Missouri; and the eldest Of
them was the Lieutenant who was
captured in the Lopez expedition to
Cuba and shot at Havana. Mrs. Crit
tenden subsequently married Colonel
David r. Murray, Of Cloverport, KY,
by whom she had several children and
among them is Governor Eli II. Muir
ray, OF Utah. His mother was born
in Shelby county, KY; was the
daughter Of Colonel John Allen, a
great lawyer in his day, the rival of
Henry Clay, and with him was counsel
for Aaron Burr when he was first
arrested in Kentucky. Allen was one
of the famous Latin class in Bards-
town, Kentucky, which consisted Of
the Rev. DIR. Cameron, John Rowan,
Ben Hardin and Felix Grundy, all of
whom became men Of great distinction.
John Allen was a candidate for Gov
ernor of Kentucky in 1911 or IL; was
defeated by few votes. After the war
began a regiment was raised 10 CEN
trail Kentucky, every man of which
was a gentleman. Allen was unani.
mously elected Colonel, and with most
OF the regiment was massacred at the
| Inflated battle Of the River Raisin, be
falling at the age of forty. His body
was never found, and his exact fate is
unknown. There is a legend that after
the surrender, a chief came up and
plucked Colonel Aliens beard; thai
he struck the chief dead at a siRglt
blow, and was himself then cut t
pieces.
Colonel Allen married Jane Logan
daughter Of General Ben Logan, o
Kentucky pioneer memory. Boil
Governor Orittenden and Governo
Murray were Union officers in the lat
war. Murray was, perhaps, tn
youngest Colonel in the service, bein
an officer at eighteen, if mistak
1 not. f0
' Critten graduated at Danville, an
went thence to Missouri. 1t Is re
markable how many of their famil
: have fallen in battle. Their great
d great grandfather, Colonel Montgom
T cry, was killed by the Indians in Ken

4 killed at Raisin; their brother, Lieu
Crittenden, in Cuba; their cousin
