The Postmaster Generals De-
ctS1On ON the Louisiana
Lottery,

Postmaster General Gresham has
decided against the Louisiana Lottery
Company.
On November 10, 1879, Postmaster
General Key issued an order to the
Postmaster OF New Orleans prohibits
ing the payment of money orders or
the delivery Of registered letters to the
manager of the Louisiana Lottery
Company. The Company brought
suit against the Postmaster General
to restrain the execution of the order,
was defeated and appealed to the Su
preme Court of the United States. On
February q, 1880, Mr.. Key issued
another order sRspendins tao FIRST uu>
til the issue should Ae determined by
the SupgaIe Court. The Company
subsequently, abandoned the appeal
and has since claimed that Postmaster
General Keys first order was supplIed
by the second.
Judge Gregksm does not accept this
view, lie holds that Mr. Key had full
authority under the acts of Congress
ito stop the payment of money orders
and the delivery Of registered lStteys
to the lottery company, and tbAt Con.
gress had the constitutional power To
pass the acts forbidding such use of the
malls Ke further decides that the
krss order Of Postmaster General K ey
was not revoked or cancelled, but
merely suspended, BY the second, and
that the effect 0t the dismissal Of the
appeal was put to an end to the sus.
peasion, THE first order will, there's
fore, says Judge Gresham, be exc
cpted as if the second had not been
entered"

Special to the Commercial Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July ga case in
volving most of the druggists and
many other dealers in the country,
was taken up to-day, and decided off,
hand by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, in something less than five
minutes. 1t happened in this way.
MIR. Evans had just taken up his day S
work, when Mr.. Kimball, the head Of
the Tobacco Division, came in with a
magazine, in which he had discovered
a displayed advertisement of rock and
rye. He proceeded to denounee this
connection to MIR Evans as nothing but
sugar and whisky, and practically a
beverage. For this reason he said
that all who sold it should be obliged
to take out a special license as retail
dealer in spirits. Mr. Evans replied
promptly that his position was mani
testify correct, and that the sale of
rock and rye was a great evil that
ought to be corrected. Thereupoo,
aud without further Inquiry, Mr.
Evans ordered circulars to be pre-
pared, directing all who sold this com
pound to take cut a special license tax
Of $25 year.
The head of the Tobacco Division
did not call the Commissioners atten-
ton to the well known fact that Con-
gress has just repealed the proprietary
stamp tax, under which the various
brands of rock and rye have hereto
fore been sold. IF the head of the
proper division had been called in for
moment, the Commissioner would
have been saved from ordering a cir
cular that is exciting general ridicule,

something more even than these details,

wife must be more than cook, nurse

to influence character, take her place by
her husbands side as social force, and
if need come, assume his duties as o

In a recent divorce cause, where
the plea was that the husband was a
hibitual drunkard, but in which the
evidence showed he was a drunkard
at the time of the marriage, the Iowa
Supreme Court say in dismissing the
bill:
She chose a drunkard for a hus-
band, and she ought TO discharge the
duty of a drunkard's wife. She does not
show that her personel safety or even
her we'll being required her to leave
him. She doubtless would have lived
more comfortable in the society Of a
sober man, but she ought to have con-
sidered, and doubtless did consider
the discomforts of drunkard hus
band when she married the intestate
But she urges he promised reforma-
ton before marriage. His failure to
keep his promise did not justify her
in deserving him. All the world
knows that such promises made by a
drunken man are always broken. In
few words, as she knowingly married
a drunkard she must be content to be
a drunkard's wife"

Good Housewives a Necessity.

Mrs. Mary B. Welch, of the Iowa
agricultural College says That false
idea of the value of homework is almost
universally prevalent is proven by the
fact that it is regarded by most house,
wives as simple drudgery, and that they
are always looking forward to the time
when they may escape its demands and
rest free from its duties. The fact, too,
that of all work it commands, as u rule,
the lowest wages, and that any one is
considered capable of doing it, no mat
ted how ignorant or stupid, if only she
possesses muscular strength, and still
further the social position in general ac-
corded to such workers, are all proof of
the low rank occupied by the household
art. 1t is very much with homework as
it has been with agriculture. Muscular
ability was thought to be the only abili-
ty needed by the farmer. Robust health
and strong right arm have been con-
sidered the chief essentials of cook;
and just as the boys on the farm have
looked with longing eyes towards the
professions, so have the daughters as
PRED to be teachers, dress-makers, mil
liners, any thing rather than workers in
the house kitchen.
What cares she for hohseworkP In
the dim future when she has realized
all she now dreams of, she will hire an
Irish girl, or Norwegian, or Swede
to do her homework, while she gives
her time to loftier pursuits. Before she
can be interested in the study of Do
nestle Economy, she must be impress
ed with its value and its dignity. The
Irish cook in her mothers kitchen would
teach her to bake bread, perhaps, but
she would surely associate the process
with the ignorant and uncultivated wo-
man who taught 1t, and she looks on
both with equal disrespect >
The good farmer of to-day is not he
who knows simply how to pillow or even
to raise and gather crops. To be sue

The Jersey Future.

Having read with interest the arti-
Gle in your last weeks issue in regard
to the "cow of the future" feel as
if it would not be out Of place to give
a few ideas on the subject in addi-
ton to those already mentioned
In this great United States we find
a great variety Of climate, soil, and
various conditions which effect the
rearing and breeding of cattle. In
addition to this we find as great va
riety in the demands of the people of
the different countries of the earth |;
so that, although meat producing is,
and always will be, very important
branch of farming and stock raising,
we find the product of the milk COW
in fully as great demand as beef, but
not in such great number Of pounds.
AS long as there is demand for
choice butter, cheese, cream and
milk, is there not great inducement
for breeders OF dairy cows to improve
their stock for the production of
these articles, both in quality and
quantity2 There may be families>of
good mixers and butter-makers in
nearly all of the different breeds Of
cattle, but when farmers are intend
ing to improve their stock il is to

Comb and Extracted Honey.

A writer in the Bee Journal gives
his experience as follows, which is
decidedly in favor of extracted honey:
My experience this year, and for
the last 7 or 8 years, has established
the opinion very firmly in my mind,
that can produce at least three times
as much extracted honey as l can of
comb honey from the same number
of colonies. From IS colonies run
for extracted honey this year, my
crop of extracted honey was 5000
pounds, or a4o pounds per colony;
from over SO colonies run for comb
honey, my receipts were $500 pounds
or abont SO pounds per colony. Of
course there was an occasional comb
from some of those that were run for
comb honey, taken and extracted, but
not enough to materially change the
figures.
l sent some comb honey and some
extracted honey to two of the most
prominent commission firms on Water
ST., Chicago, short time ago; one
of them wrote me the other day that
the extracted honey was all sold at
9H cts. per pound, but the comb was
unsold. The other wrote me that the
extracted honey sold tor 81 cts; the
comb for IS cts. per lb. These are
fair figures as an example, for the
honey was produced from the same
apiary, sold in the same market by
the same class of men, and collected
from the same flowers, at the same
time of year.
Now, as to the proper condition OF
producing and getting in proper con-
dition for market. One barrel, hold
ing so gallons or $50 lbs. can be
bought for 81, at the most, while 10
get $50 pounds of comb honey in
good marketable condition, costs, il
I count my time anything, at least 49,
My IS colonies that we run for ex-
tracted honey gave profit of Sa2.Sc
gross per colony, while those run for
comb gave $3.50 gross. Taking out
the actual cost of each, for getting in
condition and marketing, you can
very clearly see where they would
come out.
There are some mitigating circum-
stances in these figures, which would
help the showing of the comb honey
side, which l have not mentioned
such as increasing; the colonies run
for extracted honey did not increase
very much; while those run for CONT
honey have nearly all swarmed once
but they had the advantage OF having
all the honey gathered by their in
crease accounted for.

thoroughly established for the pur-
pos. which he is intending to breed
for.
Dairy farming is at present of such
importance that figures are not neces-
sary 10 convince readers that there is
great need of Improved stock but
the most important question for both
the dairymen and the ordinary farmers
is, what bull shall | use in order to
make the most improvement in my
herd and thereby increase my profits ?
If farmer intends to ignore entirely
the dairy qualities of his herd and
depend on production Of beef alone
he of course would not care to have
the blood of any but well.known and
tried beef breeds. But | think | may
safely say that the majority of owners
of cows in the world wish to improve,
to a certain extent at least, the dairy
qualities of their cows and the ques-
ton. TO what bull shall | breed my
cows? is Of the greatest importance
to them.
Each of the leading breeds of cat
tie has been bred especially for some
particular purpose, and as long as
beef, milk, butter and cheese are de.
handed by the people, just so long
will there be thoroughbred stock
which is intended aid has been bred
for, its own particular uses.
But as a great many farmers do
not care to raise thoroughbred stock
of any kind and carry on what is
called mixed farming, there will be
demand for breeding bulls of all good
breeds to suit the ideas of each.
A plan which is adopted by some,
and should be by more, is to use bulls
from the different breeds as they
want change of blood. Any care
full farmer who will select bulls from
the best families of Short-horns, Jer-
seys or Holsteins in rotation will GER
tainly produce herd of cattle which
will be as near what the average
farmer wants as can be found. Each
farmer must be his own judge, of
course, as to which bull he shall use
but it is well to take the experience
of others when we can get it free.
A certain dairyman in northern In
diana, who keeps ITS milk cows. has
used Short-horn, Holstein and Jersey
bulls, and the best mixers he had
were out Of his native COWS, and by
the Jersey bull. From our own ex-
perience the Jersey has been the
most successful in grading up good
average COWS, both for milk and for
butter and when quality OF beef is
concerned as well as quantity, Jerseys
hold their own every time. But rs
Jerseys are usually SO much better for
milk and butter and more particular
ly cream, very few people have an
opportunity TO test the beef of this
valuable breed. After the common
farmer has chance to ascertain the
quality of the Jersey beef he will no
sell his grade Jersey calves at less
price because the butcher tells him
they are of no account for beef: but
he will fatten such calves for his own
use and have finer beef on his table
than if he buys the average beef in
the market.-The Breeders Gazette.
