anywhere, and fully as cheap. Besides his
prominence in this line, he is the leading

Happiness signifies grained state OF
all the faculties. The qualification of
a faculty is produced by its exercise.
To be agreeable, that exercise must be
proportionate to the power of the fac
ulty; if it is insufficient, discomfort
arises, and its excess produces weari-
ness. Hence 10 have complete felicity
is to have all the faculties exerted in
the ratio of their several Developments,
and an ideal arrangement of circum-
stances calculated to secure this con-
stitutes the standard of greatest hap
piness;" but the minds of no two indi-
viduals contain the same combinations
of elements. Duplicate men are not to
be found. There is in each different
balance of desires. Therefore, the con-
ditions adapted for the highest enjoy
ment of one would not perfectly COM
pass the same end for another. And
consequently the notion of happiness
must vary with the disposition and
character; that is, must vary indefin-
itely.

There have been few more marked
successes in journalism than has been
achieved by The Breeders Gazette,
of Chicago. Started about two years
ago as a twenty-four page weekly
paper, it has gone on steadily in
creasing in matter and interest, as
well as in size, first to twenty-eight,
then to thirty.two, and, finally TO
thirty-six pages weekly. AS paper
for such farmers as make livestock
breeding, in any of its departments, a
leading feature Of their business, we
do not know where to find Its equal.
We can heartily recommend it to our
patrons as the leading paper of its
class in America. 1t is published at
Chicago, by ]. H. Sanders & Co.;
price $500 year. We can furnish
IL and our own paper together at
s3.75 a year for both. Call at our
office and examine it, or send to the
publishers for specimen copy.

Cracking, Stabbing and Soulling.


There was an angry, dark frown on
the generally genial countenance of
Uncle John Fisk of New York. He
glanced around suspiciously to see if he
was observed, and then beckoned to a
swarthy stranger, who was standing
near. The stranger approached, and
stealthily exhibited a weapon of gleam-
ing steel. 1t had no hilt or guard, the
handle being of the same piece of steel
as the blade.
.'Can you stab, and stab quickly?"
asked Uncle John Fisk. The stranger
nodded assent. ''Then 90 and get in
your work. replied Uncle John. Now,
a member of the Produce Exchange ac-
cidentallv overheard the remarks and
became alarmed. He went to Sam Rob-
bins and related what he had heard,
saying:
If there is any stabbing done, it will
be traced to Uncle John, and he will be
arrested"
Robbins looked at him in astonish-
ment.
What are you giving mep Why,
Fisk wouldn't stab anything but q
steak. He was hiring an oyster-stab-
her,"
In response to a request for informa-
ton on the subject, Mr.. Robbins said:
There are three ways of opening
oysters-cracking, stabbing and scull-
ing. Have you ever been in an oyster
saloon and stood up to the counter and
eaten raw oystersp Well, cracker is a
man who opens oysters by laying them
on the block and breaking off the shell
with his knife first, after which to open
the oyster is easy work. 1t is the old
fashioned style, but is gradually falling
into disuse for the reason that particles
of the shell and mud are liable to fly
into the face of the customer or remain
on the oyster when opened. Stabbing
an oyster is Boston style. 1t is grad
ually being introduced all over, and
must supercede cracking ere long. To
stab an oyster the bivalve is held in the
hand. The knife is then run in until it
catches the eye of the oyster, and then
the shell is dexterously taken off. Some
men lay the oyster on the block and
stab them instead of holding them in
their hands, but the principle is the
same. '--NeD York San.
Mr.. Gillig, of the American Exchange
in London, who has probably the larg-
est newspaper acquaintance OF any
man living, says that the American re-
porters are much more pleasant and
civil set of men than the English.
They are also brighter, quicker and
more intelligent.

"Stockman," in the Rural New
Yorker, speaking of the fabulous
prices for which Jersey cattls are
selling, says, "But lest any person
my friend, Col. Curtis, in particular
should say that / have a spite
against the Jerseys, let me add that
when this speculation is over and
Jerseys get down to their real value
for buttcr-makers, shall then stock
up with them in preference to any
other breed. For their is no stock 1

1t is an old saying thar it is an "ill
wind that blows nobody any good"
The low prices for pork and pork
products seem an i'll wind to many
pig breeders, Possibly some of these
may get good out of it by taking ad-
vantage of this time to make more
than rig orous wedding out of all in
ferior animals from their breeding
herds. One class of farmers may
certainly get good-those who have
insisted that the prices for improved
stock were so high they could not af-
ford to purchase. This fall a good
boar pig, sow or two may be bought
at prices which almost any one can
well afford. For the pork raiser it is
not essential that he buy registered
pig; nor, indeed, that he get one with
a long pedigree. a pig little off
in color may do him as good service
as one with the most fashionable
markings. If one wants the very
best pigs, with carefully kept records,
he must pay well for them, and he
ought to; but the common farmer
can get very serviceable stock at
unusually moderate prices. Good
stock is fully as desirable in times Of
low prices as when they are high

Herbert spencers Definition of Happi-

The definition given by Herbert Spen-
Ger of what constitutes happiness is as
follows:
Generalizing such facts, we see that
the standard of greatest happiness pos
sesses as little fixity as the other expo
nents of human nature. Between ma
tons the differences of opinion are
conspicuous enough. On contrasting
the Hebrew patriarchs with their exist
ing descendants, we observe that even
in the same race, beau ideal of exist
ence changes. The members of each
community disagree upon the question.
Neither, if we compare the wishes OF
the gluttonous school boy with those of
the earth scorning transcendentalist
into whom we may afterward grow, do
we find any copstancy in the individ-
nal. So we may say, not only that
every epoch and every people has its
peculiar conceptions Of happiness, but
that no two men have like conceptions;
and further, that in each man the con-
ccption Is not the same at any two PEE
RODS of life.
The rationale of this is simple enough.

One of the most important cases be-
fore this term of court was the ques
ton as to whether railroad lands are
taxable for their full value, or only
taxable to the extent of the interests
OF the purchaser. A. G. Forbes,
county attorney, argued for taxation
on the part of Lyon county, and VIM.
Gale, Esq, argued in the interests of
the railroad campany, which are to
have the smallest possible amount Of
taxation follow the partial payment
for lands bonght from the company,
by purchasers. The matter was
brought before Judge Baldwin that
the point in question, and around
which the only difficulty lies, will be
passed upon, and whichever way he
decides the question it will be brought
before the Supreme court for final de-
cision. The points to be considered
by the court, are as follows:
lst.-Are the contracts which the
railroad give to parties who have pur-
chased their lands, contracts of sales.
within the meaning of the provisions
of special laws of 1861
2d.-Must the interests of the pnr.
chaser be taxed under the railroad
contracts, or can the tax be levied up
