good, and would advise any one who may
wish to purchase to buy the best you can get
from either family and you will be well
paid Make your selections strictly by the
Guenon tests, which has been proven be-
yond doubt to be of immense value in Sc
lecting milk and butter cattle.

Medley's district who was the fortunate

glad to see that your farmers realize the
true value of the Jersey cow. Will it pay
your farmers to buy Jersey cows and pay
two or three hundred dollars for them? Let
us look into the matter. / have shown you
what the best Of them have done, but we
will come down to low figures, and say $50
pounds in one year, and any ordinary Jer-
sey cow at 3 years old will produce that
amount. Now $50 pounds of butter at 25
cents per pound amounts to $40, and the
calves from a registered COW if male will
sell from $50 to 81 900, females from 800 to
$500, but we will take chances and say $75,
which is low estimate, and the milk to a
family is worth $50. Now these are low
figures, but is there any investment the
farmer can make that will pay him as well?
if so would like to know the secret. Bal
timore each year has been paying thousands
of dollars for butter to other States, and
why do we stand and see the profits which
should go into our pockets go into the
pockets of others? The Eastern men have
long since seen what good bank the dairy
is and they are getting rich from it. Shall
we suffer this still to go on; will old Mary
land not take hand in the big gains will
Montgomery see her own interest when tits
so plain to her? / think she will; her
farmers are intelligent, industrious and pro-
gressive, and old Frederick will take her by

back, and in few years you will see pleas

Mr.. Editor | know you gentlemen of the
quill are poorly paid for all the blessings you
pour out on your patrons, and that you are
always ready to do all you can for the agr-
cultural interest of your county. You must
be their guide, their standard bearer; muster
your troops and march to victory, for CON
quer you will and blessings from the palace
and lowly cot will rest upon you. | will
leave it with you, sir, wishing that the good
things of this life may fall TO you and yours,

with gilt edge Jersey butter and your palate
may be cooled with the best Jersey ice
cream. Yours truly,

TOO FRESH.

In his issue of last week the Editor
of the Independent Montgomerian steps up
to the front and takes us to task in re-
gard to what we said a week before in ref
erence to the appointment of Mr.. w. II.
Jones to position in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and although our paper of last
week giving satisfactory explanation of
the same was before him, he pays no atten-
ton to that, but states that we made an
"egregious error" in the matter and goes on
to give full history of the appointment and
to vouch for the loyalty of Mr.. Jones 10 the
Republican party. After protesting to be
Democrat from childhood up to within a
few short months, the Editor of that paper
must have been well posted during that time
in the affairs of the opposition to SO readily
recall the standing of the old members of
the party to which he now Processes to be-
long.
Although pretending to publish an indie.
pendent paper during the last presidential
campaign, and when the election of Hancock
and English seemed foregone conclusion, he
placed that ticket at the head of his editorial
columns and gave it his support, and al
though not voter here his Democracy was
so unquestioned that he was elected secreta-
ry of the Hancock and English club and
served in that capacity. Iii true that during
that time for some reason, Certainly not a
consistent political one,) he was an advocate
in his paper of the reelection Of Mr.. Urner
TO Congress, and for this small personal SER
vice he has been appointed by that gentle
man clerk to the Committee on Accounts
the best position in his gift, Notwithstanding
the place was sought for by gentlemen who
claim that they were true Republicans in
the early days Of the party when it had nc
popularity in this State, and when both Mr.
Urner and his appointee were opposed to it
That there is a widespread dissatisfaction
amongst the members of the Republican
party in this county at this appointment il
apparent to every one, and coupled with the
fact of the treachery of the Republicans o
Mr.. Urner's own county towards Mr.. Franci:
Miller for Chief Judge, at the last election
will no doubt act greatly to the disadvan
tage of Mr. Urner should he again be
candidate.
In writing as we have it is with no desrt
to place Mr.. Green in an unpopular position
with his new found friends who are reward
ing him so handsomely for his valuable ser
vices, but to simply remind him that wher
he lets his undue zeal for the cause he hai
so lately espoused lead him to attack us anC
NEEDLE with affairs in which he has no per
sonal interest, he may find that he has com
mitted an "egregious error"

The following pen picture of our present
State Senator is drawn by the correspondent
of the Baltimore Sunday Herald.
"The spirit of reform has extended to local
legislation. Montgomery county, which in
the last ten years has grown more than any
other county in the State, by far, has the
same courthouse that accommodated her
business fifty years ago Yet now her bust
ness is quadrupled, and the requirements OF
the courthouse far beyond that of what they
were in former years.
"The people have almost unanimously de-
manded a new building, if for nothing else,
10 guarantee the safety of the court records
Yet their will is TO be frustrated by their
Senator, Joseph Moore, who is inoculated
with reform. 1t having been learned that
he was opposed to the bill TO grant the coun-
ty commissioners a right TO issue $4,000
worth of bonds TO build the new courthouse,
Herald representative undertook TO inter-
view him. On seeing the gentleman and
his lofty manner, the reporter porcured a
step-adder to get up high enough to talk to
the model reformer and swell Senator
When up near where his dignity could be
approached, as thought the reporter, he ven
tured TO address the Nhitesoued statesman
and mode feformer He was rebuffed with
a., short answer TO the effect that he had not
made up his mind. This he announced
brusquely. This the reporter followed up
by other inquiries, informing the lofty gen
tleman that he was reporter i don't care
what you are, sir; haze not the honor OF
your acquaintance, and do not recognize
any right of yours 10 approach me- | do
not at all, sir, see by what right you, sir, seek
TO know my views upon legislation, before
have expressed them officially
The reporter thinking about Mr.. Peck
sneiff, got down of the step ladder and went
to see another Joe in the Scnste, Senator
Joseph Allston, as to a bill he had introduce
ed. He very cheerfully gave all necessary
information in gracious kind MANNER
Wandering along quietly, hYwever, the
scribe studied quietly TO himself r all sanity
Ieiormers were like Senator JC4 Moore, of
Montgomery county, and If his 'antipodes'
were like the other Joe; il they were, the
reporter wanted TO Immediately ioin the an
tipodes, if they were in hades."

In the Criminal Court at Washington on
Saturday last, Judge Cox overruled the mo-
ton for new trial for the assassin Guiteau,
and sentenced him 10 be hanged on the Both
of June next The exceptions taken by his
counsel to the rulings Of the Court will be
heard by the General Term early in March.
1t is probable that the case will be permitted
to rest for three weeks, as Mr. Scovile ex-
poets TO be absent from Washington during
that time, and 1t Is even surmised that he
may not return.

Another step in the direction of increas-
ing the appointing power of the Governor
has been made in the Legislature by the in
PRODUCTION of a bill providing that all the
School Commissioners Of the State shall be
appointed by the Executive BY what line
of reasoning the conclusion is arrived at
that the Governor is in position TO know
the wants Of the people in the different
parts OF the State ia this respect we are at a
loss 10 see. II the object be 10 remove the
schools from the influence OF partisan and
personal influence, to which they have been
exposed in some localities. under ;he pres
ent law, we see no hope of a better state of
affairs when the appointment of their Of
iicers is placed in the hands of the Cow
ernor. True policy demands thai instead
OF having so many officers appointed they
snouid al be elected by the people.

Whilst in Richmond your correspondent
had three hours interview with General
Jubal Early, who looks as well and vigorous
as when on his retreat from Maryland, he
halted for an hour in Rockville The Gen.
eral spoke with remarkable accurateness of
places and distances and of the many ac-
quaintances he made. Among other things
he remarked that II was an agreeable and
interesting fact that during his raid into
Maryland there was but one instance of a
lady greeting him, and that occurred at
Gaithersburg. She was fascinating widow,
who rode two miles on horseback sgith a
blind bride, and greeting him and wishing /,
his army success, took knife cut one of the /
buttons from his coat. Continuing he said,
after pause, 81 think her name was Mrs.
Cecelia Fitzgerald-remember me 10 her,
and say that ! often revert TO this little
glimpse OF sunshine during that raid"
Gen. Early seemed TO regret that whilst
eturning through Rockville any Of the mer. 4
ha"'s should have been molested and stated !

Why We Eat OYSTERS Raw.

DR.. William Roberts, in his lec4
ture on the digestive ferment, says:
"Our practice in regard to the oys4
ter is quite exceptional, and furnishes
a striking example of the general
correctness of the popular judgment
on dietetic questions The oyster is
almost the only animal substance
which we eat habitually and by pref
erence IN the raw or uncooked state;
and it is interesting to know that
there is sound physiological reason
at the bottom of this preference,
The fawn-colored mass which con-
stitutes the dainty of the oyster is
it's liver, and this is little less than a
heap of glycogen. Associated with
the glycogen, but withheld from ach
tual contact with it during life, is it's
appropriate digestive ferment-the
hepatic diastase. The mere crusho
ing of the dainty between the teeth
brings these two bodies together,
and the glycogen is at once digested
without any other help than by its
diastase. The oyster in the uncooked
state, or merely warmed, is, in fact,
self-digestive. But the advantage
of this provision is wholly lost by
cooking; for the heat employed i'm
mediately destroys the associated
ferment, and a cooked oyster has to
be digested, like any other food, by
the eaters own digestive powers"

Goldfish Balls or Death.
From the Idaho World.

There was a singular case up for
trial in the Justices Court the other
day at Sawtooth. The case to be de
cided by the justice was whether
restaurant keeper is justified in
shooting a man for refusing to eat
his Goldfish balls. The Judge of the
law and justice decided yes. The
case was as follows. The proprietor
of Sawtooth restaurant places a
plate of Goldfish balls on the table of
young man, and regular boarder,
who had seated himself for grub.
The boarder was calmly and peace.
fully slowing away the vituals, but
he didn't take any of the Goldfish
balls
The restaurant keeper approached
him, and said in a commanding tone
of voice, You eat them Goldfish
balls"
Il don't like Goldfish balls" replied
the boarder
"You eat them Goldfish balls, 1 tell
you !"
Il tell you [ won't; / don't like
EN-"
Il tell you once more to eatthem
Goldfish balls. If you don't I'll shoot
you and the restaurant keeper
started for his pistol. The boarder
saw that he had to do one of three
times-eat the Goldfish balls, refuse
aooin opd ba f1IIaJ with looJan halls
or skip. He skipped. just as his
coat tail was vanishing out of the
door the irate restaurant keeper
blazed away, but missed. The
boarder had him arrested. The JUS
tice, in his dignity, decided that the
proprietor of hash house was per-
fectly justifiable in shooting at a
boarder with intent to kill, for refus-
ing to eat his Goldfish balls.
