American Society," in the limit

a class of refined and rich and In
telligent persons, is very much IN
America what tits in England. with
two signal differences-one arising
from the hereditary class element IN
England, and the other from the
larger number of especially accom-
plished persons concentrated In one

find here as there. But if Mr.. Mat
thew Arnold had been in Newport
during the summer, and had dined
from villa to villa, he would have
found more new richness, indeed,
because modern Newport is scarcely
more than a generation old; the
houses doubtless would have been
finer than marine villas elsewhere
and the dinners probably better
but the company would have been
as used to 'clean shirts" and to So
cial elegance and refinement as any
to which Mr.. Arnold is accustomed
Without the least disposition to,
ward the TO quoque, we should say
that he would be quite as likely to
discover less want of good manners
here than in corresponding circles
at home. That taint of English so
ciety in every degree which Thack-
cry stigmatized as snobbery, and
which is painfully evident to a for
eign observer, he would remark very
much less in this country than al
home.
But when, leaving this restricted
use of the word society. and rising
into American society at large, ht
turned his shrewd eyes around him
Mr. Arnold would discover gener-
al intelligence and courtesy and self
respect, rustic plainness OF speech
and manner, often, but a freedom
from vulgarity, which could not fail
to charm him. 1t would not be a

A Narrow Escape from Death.

Mr.. II. d. Wood, of Ottawa, Can
ada, fell asleep while riding in bis
buggy one evening a week ago, and
the horse wandered on to the railroad
track at Hurdman's bridge on the
outskirts OF the city, and stopped
with the vehicle across the rails.
While in this position train struck
the buggy, tore it away from the
horse, hurting it over the declivity
into the river below. MIR. Wood, by
the suddenness of the shock, was
cleverly landed on the platform
above the cowcatcher, with the buf-
falo robes in which he was wrapped
still around him. Strange to say he
did not wake till the station was
reached, but reposed calmly in his
position whie being whirled through
the air at the velocity ofthirty miles
an hour. His hat was blown off
during the involuntary trip, but he
is thankful for his escape with only
the loss of the buggy. The horse es-
capped with scratch and was caught
the next morning.

Lady" Washington p"

That celebrated woman, whom
our Revolutionary sires, in spite OF
their republicanism, called Lady
Washington was a homebody. She
used to speak of her home life in
New York and Philadelphia as her
lost days" She preferred the com
fort and seclusion of Mount Vernon
to the gayety and publicity as the
wife of the President A lady who
visited her there draws this pen and
ink sketch of Martha Washington s
room at her husbands farm
"On one side sits the chamber
maid. with her knitting; on the 9TH
er little colored pet, learning to
sew. A decent looking old woman
is there, with her table and shears,
cutting out the negroes winter gar
ments while the good old lady di-
reefs them all, necessarily knitting
herself. She points out to me sew
eral pairs of nice stockings and
gloves she has Just finished, and pre-
sents me pair half done, which she
begs / will finish and wear for her
sake"
Mrs. Washington's granddaughter,
Miss Nellie Custis, who lived with
her, was required to practice on the
harpsichord four or five hours daily.
Miss Custis being young and ro-
mantle, was fond of wandering alone
bv moonlight in the woods of Mount
Vernon. Her grandmother thought
it unsafe, and scolded the young la
dy until she promised not to walk
in the woods again unless accom-
panied. But one night, her habit
being too strong to be curbed by a
promise, she was again missed and
a servant was sent to recall her from
her favorite wander;ngs.
As soon as sho entered the draw
ing room, her grandmother, seated
in her great arm chair, reproved her
severely. Nellie admitted that she
was alone, but offered no excuse for
her transgressiou. AS she was leav-
ing the room she overheard General
Washington, who had been walking
up and down the room with his
hands behind him, say to Mrs.
Washington:
my dear, | would say no more !;
perhaps she was not alone
Instantly Miss Nellie returned,
and walking straight up to the Cen
eral, said
''Sir, you brought me up to speak
the truth; and when | told grand
ma | was alone | hope you believe
| was alone"
The General, making one of bis
most courtly bows, replied:

Gen. Buffers Narrow Escape

LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. 5.-It has
just leaked out that General Butler
came near being drow1ed last Fri
day evening. He came up the river
on the steamer c. L. Mather, and
just at the upper edge of the rapids,
four miles below tl.is place, the
steamer ran upon rock and stuck
there. 1t was Indispensable that
Gen. Butler should be at Lawrence
at an early hour, and a small boat
carried by the steamer was brought
alongside, and Gen. Butler, Mayor
Breen, the Hon. Caleb Saunders aud
Captain Homan5 took places in it.
The water was running swiftly, and
as soon as the boat was loaded the
current began to suck it under the
counter OF the steamer. In endeav
oring to push it clear the boat was
partly swamped The current was
SO swift that only an extraordinarily
strong swimmer cauld escape being
drawn into the rapids aud hurled
down the river a mile or two before
still water could be reached. For
tunately the deck hands, after much
effort, succeeded in hauling each
man on board, the general escaping
with banged-up hat and thor
ough wetting.

Care of the Horse.

l. Never allow anyone to tease or
tickle your horse in the stable. The
animal only feels the torment and
does not understand the joke. Vi
cious habits are thus easily brought
on.
2. Never beat the horse when in
the stable. Nothing so soon makes
him permanently vicious.
3. Let the horses litter be dry and
clean underneath as well as on top.
Standing on hot fermenting manure
makes the hoofs soft, and brings on
lameness.
4. Change litter partially in some
parts, and entirely in others, every
moruing, and brush out and clean
the stall thoroughly.
5. To procure a good coat on your
horse naturally, use plenty of rub
bing and brushing. Plenty of "el-
bow grease" opens the pores, seftens
the skin, and promotes the animals
general health.
6. Never clean a horse in his sta
bic. The dust fouls the crib, and
makes him loather his food.
T. Use the curry-comb lightly.
When used rough 1t is source of
great pain.
8. Let the heels be will brushed
out every night. Dirt, if allowen
to cake in, causes grease and sore
heels.
9. Whenever a horse is washed,
never leave him till he is rubbed
quite dry. He will probably get a
chill if neglected.
10. When horse comes off a
journey the first thing is to walk him
about till be is cool, if he is brought
in hot. This prevents his taking
cold.
ii. The next thing is TO groom
him quite dry. first with whisp of
straw and then with brush. This
removes dust, dirt and sweat, and
allows time for the stomach to re-

Dairy Cows.

The selection of dairy animals is
one which requires considerable ex-
perience. \ fat COW is but seldom
a good dairy animal or a heavy mil
ker, for one which yields large guam
titles of milk regularly seldom lays
on much fat or flesh, the majority of
the food consumed being devoted to
the development or production of
milk. La the butter dairy mere
largeness of yield should not induce
the dairyman to purchase, as such
milk is seldom very rich nor does it
make high-colored butter. Such an
animal is worth far more to the milk
dairyman than to the butter maker.
There are some butter cows which,
while they produce "a very high
quality of butter as to texture, color
and flavor, produce SO little OF il as
not to be very profitable animals to
have, unless it be to raise the stand
ard of the butter produced by the
rest OF the herd. We had little
grade Jersey COW which did not
make more than four or five pounds
OF butter weekly, but it was OF such
high color and quality as to very de-
cidedly impress the quality produced
by tho others. For this purpose
she was as valuable as any other cow
we had. A good butter dairy cow
should have fair size, plenty of de-
velopment behind /; have a large
udder, one which milks down small,
and not large and meaty one. The
skin should be soft and velvety, and
in color should be of a golden vel
low. The inside of the ears and
base of the horns should be yellow !:
and such cows are good, high-colored
butter makers. 1t is impossible to
give such directions as viii enable a
novice to select good and profitable
dairy animals, for there are many
small items which experience alone
can teach and which must be famil.
iarly known to enable the purchaser
to make judicious investments.
Brains and experience are equally as
desirable here as in any of the mer-
camille pursuits, and average fully as
large profits.
