DEVON CATTLE.

Col. M. G. Weld writes as follows in
American Agriculturist for February:
One who sees herd of Devons for the
first time is struck with their extraordi-
nary beauty and uniformity, and sees at
once that they differ from every other
breed or stock Of cattle with which he is
acquainted. They are of a brilliant, rich
mahogany red, without white upon the
body, but with white switches to their
tails, and frequently with white udders.
Though heavy in carcass they are light
limbed, and the older COWS low set. Their
heads are small and clean cut, elegantly
placed and carried high, while they are
adorned with long, light; tapering white
horns, curving upward and outward.
Their threats are clean; withers thin;
necks free from dewlaps; chests very
low. In girth they are large for their
| height; very thick through the heart,
and unequalled in the crops, which point
carries the fullness of the shoulders back
to the ribs without perceptible depress-
sion. The backs are very level from the
! withers to the setting Of the tails, which
are long and delicately tapered The
| loins are wide and muscular; the hips
wide apart, the back long to the rump,
while the thighs are long to the hooks,
and in the twist we'll let down, yet in
the lower parts they are thin, giving
room between them for capacious udders.
The soft TANKS are usually very low,
giving the barrels cylindrical, level
look npon the under line. Devons are
commonly heavily coated, and the hair is
wavy, if not positively curly, in many
cases. The skin is plastic and mellow
under the touch, even when the animal is
in low condition, but when in good order
it is typically fine, not thin and papery
but elastic and yielding under the pres
sure of the finger tips, and offering &
mobile, unctious handful if grasped ovel
the ribs. The skin color varies, but not
a few show rich cream color, inclining
to orange under the forearm, and in the
ears. Add to this description that the
legs are short, small boned and clean
that the whole carriage and style are
elastic and graceful, with promptness
and energy rarely seen in neat cattle
while the large, lively yet placid eye in
dictates at once intelligence, confidence
and repose, and we have a picture of ;
high-bred, beautiful race of cattle, sucl
as has no equal anywhere. The oxe1
are much trained, very quick in thei
movements, fast walkers, and untirins
workers. The COWS are deep mixers.

SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER THERE?
The minister of fashionable church
once preached a beautiful sermon on this
subject. He drew the picture of a very
beautiful heaven. We would walk in
sunlit groves, by the music of waterfalls,
and gaze out upon Amaranthine fields.
And then, too, "we shall know each 9TH
er there" said the minister, and then
added, ''there'll be no strangers in the
New Jerusalem; we'll all be friends"

trotted down the aisle.

DESTINY OF CHRISTIAN NATIONS
There can be no doubt that it is the des-
tiny of the Christian nations to rule the
world and of the Protestant nations to
rule the Christian nations. The United
States predominates the western CONT
nent and our English kin rule all the
south seas and southern Asia. Mahom-
etanism is fast disappearing as a ruling
power. There are now under govern
ments professedly Roman Catholic 49,
000,0 900 of people; under the Greek church
90 700, 900; under Protestant rule 408,-
100000. While France and Italy are
nominally Catholic, the papal hold is
very feeble. The whole southern world
is filling up with Protestant population,
and the virtual possession that Great
Britain has taken of Egypt adds to the
domain of the Protestant rule. Several
of the Catholic powers have ambitious
projects, but they have met with nc
marked successes in extending their sway
over new populations.

A GlassoQraph.

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the Vienna electrical exhibition is
Gentllli's glassograph. little instru-
ment by which speech is automatic
ally reproduced as soon as 1t is ut
tered. A small apparatus is placed in
the mouth of the speaker-in contact
with the roof of his mouth, his tongue
and lips-and, being connected with an
electromagnetic registering apparatus,
the sounds are committed to paper. 1t
is conducted in such manner as not
to cause any inconvenience to the
speaker; neither is it necessary that
the voice should be raised, as it re.
produces whisper as exactly as a
shout, the only condition is correct
and distinct articulation. According
to the inventors calculation, it will be
possible to write four or five times as
fast by means of the glassOgraph as
has hitherto been possible even by the
quickest writer. AT first sight it ap'
pears as if this invention was but an
improvement upon Edison's phono
graph; it is. however, of much Older
date. 1t rests. unlike the former, or
an acoustic principle, and does not re
produce the sounds in microscopica
form. The chief difficulty to the in

acters; but it Is not i'm possible tina
with the help of second automatl'
apparatus, the characters produced
by the glassograph may be translated
into our common type-writing. Th'
ortography would doubtless appear
strange, but in these days of phoneti
spelling this sight might not long be
hinderance.

me to the door where l can get the air

The carterer promised to observe the
caution, but 1t was only when the
twelfth and last oyster was hid behind
two rows of teeth which stood out like
ten-penny nails, that anything hap
pened. Then the eater suddenly raised
one leg, bis eyes bulged out, and he be-
gan to skip about like a goat dodgirg

to the rear end of the restaurant for a
glass of water. When he returned

An Obendient Servant.

An old bachelor who lives in the
suburbs of Austin, hires colored man
of about eighteen to clean up his room,
fill his lamp and perform like services.
A few days ago the colored domestic,
who had been using his employers
blacking, said:
"Boss. our bl9ckin' am done out"
"What do you mean?" growled the
sordid employer; everything belongs to
me, and nothing belongs to you. want
you to understand that nothing belongs
10 you"
The terrified darkey promised to
comply with the request. On the fol-
lowing Sunday the boss happened to
meet the colored menial, accompanied
by chocolate-colored female pushing
baby carriage.
"Was that your baby in that ear
riage?" he asked next day, quite num-
Der of his friends being present.

that Missouri's favorite son had been

is possible that George Washington
may be played out on the front side of

who believe that the picture Of man
who could not tell lie is constant
menace to the great men of the pres
ent day who can tell a lie as easy as
rolling of log, and they are making
his picture a worse looking one each

when any other American that ever
wore hair can take the place of George

ter day statesmen may be prettier than
George, and they may have more

knowing their weaknesses as the peo-
pie do, they can never put stamps con-
tanning pictures of recent statesmen on
their tongues with that feeling of
safety and veneration with which they
swallow the mucilage from George.
There has always been feeling that a
letter started on its destination, with a

grown up feeling that letter is Ii.

confidence in the postal branch of the
government that there should be. In
many cases people continue to use the
old green stamp, regardless of the ex'

respect for the man who loved his
country so well that he would mol
steal it blind. AS long rs this brindle
