ORANGE COUNTY MILK.
How 1t Was First Scnt to the Now York
Market.

In recent conversation with a re-
porter, Thomas j. Taylor, an old milk
producer, of Florida, N. Y, gave short
history of the growth and method of the
milk traffic i'll Orange County. He
said
"The first milk shipped from Orange
County to New York was in April, 1912,
and was produced OH the farm then
owned by Philo Gregory. William T..
Langridge worked Mir. Gregory's farm,
and sold to Mr.. Gregory the milk at two
cents quart, delivered on the cars at
Chester. 1t went to New York by the
passenger train in the morning, to Pier
mont, and thence by boat The first
shipments were made in chmns, which
with their contents were weighed, and
twenty cents q hundred was charged for
freight AMI two shillimgs six pence for
carriage from the boat to the milk depot
at No. 50 Thompson street, New York.
Mr.. Gregory employed q man to sell his
milk, paying him $40 month and
board, and sold his milk at four cents
per quart. Mr.. Langridge i'll one year
and half made an assignment, while
MIR. Gregory, at two cents quart, paid
his freight, carriage, rent (Which was
$50 per year for n basement room) and
help, and established business which
has since grown to enormous proper
tons. 1t WAS soon found that two cents
a quart was a losing business, and for
many years it was sold by the farmers at
two cents quart for four months, three
cents quart four months and four cents
quart four months. These were the
established prices until 1861, during
winch hme butter sold in the early
spring and fall of the year from one
smiling and siXpcncc 10 two shillings n
pound, and dairics fo~ season at l6 to 90
cents. When the war broke out prices
ran wild, farmers receiving as high as
iorr cents in summer, six cents in
*prlnG and fall, and eight cents in VIM
yer. Butter was worth from so cents to
20 cents at the farmers door. After the
war, and up to 1871, farmers sold their
milk to the dealers at the market price.
the dealers made tho price Mt it's honest
value, and the farmers were satisfied.
In November, 1871, milk had been sell
ing during the whole month at six cents
and freight on the platform at JERSEY
City. n. ID. Woodruff called meet
ing OF the mllk-dealers together in Hes
ter street, New York, on the 3Oth of
November, and proposed the plan Of
making the price five cents, saying that
no one farmer could or would contest the
price. He carried his poiut, and ever
since the price has been made by the
same combination, led by Mr.. Woodruff
until he died"

An Essay on Roller Skates.

Th" roller skate, says Bill Nye, is a
wayward little QuadrupCd. 1T is as
frollcSome and more innocent looking
than II lamb, but for interfering with
ones upright attitude in the community
Ii Is perhaps the best machine that has
appeared in Salt Lake City.
Ones first feeling on standing up on
pair of roller skates is an uncomfortable
tendency to come from together. One
foot may start ont toward Idaho while
the other as promptly strikes out for
Arizona. The legs do not stand by each
other as legs related by blood should do,
but each shows disposition to set up in
business alone, and leave you to tako
care of yourself rs best you may. The
awkwardncss Of this arrangement is ap-
parent. While they are setting up in
dcpcndontly, there - nothing for you TO
do but to sit down and await future
dcvelopmcnts And you have to sit
down, too, without having made any
previous preparation for it, and without
having devoted as much Thought to it rs
You might have done had you been con.
suited IN the matter.
One OF the most noticeable things MS
skating rink is the strong attraction
between the human body and the floor
OF the rink. If the human body had
been coming through space for day IS and
days, at the rate of a million miles n
second, without stopping at eating
stations, and not excepting Sundays,
when it strikes the floor, we could un.
dcrstand why it struck the floor with so
much violence. As it is, however, the
thing is inCXplicablc.
There are different kinds of falls in
vogue at the rink. There are the rear
falls, and front falls, the Cardinal Wolsey
fall, the fall one across the other, three
in pile, and SO on. There arc some of
the falls that | would like to bc excused
from describing. The rear fall is the
favoritC. II is moro frequently utilized
than any other There arc two positions
III skating, the perpendicular and the
horizontal. Advanced skaters prefer the
perpendicular, while others affect the
horizontal.
Skates are no respcctors Of persons.
They will lay ont minister Of the
Gospel or the Mayor of the city as
readily as they will a ehort-coutcd, one
Suspender boy, or giddy girl.
When one Of mans feet starts for
Nevada and the other for Colorado, that
does not separate him from the floor or
break ny his fun. Other portions of his
body will take the place his feet have
just vacated, with n promptncss that is
surprising. And no will find that the
fun has just bcgun-for tho people look
ing on.
Tic equipments for tho rink are n pair
Of skates, O cushion, and bottle Of
inimcnt.

4 Western mans idea Of pro
gress," gathered from the Coving-
ton Enterprise:
"a well-dressed man, by the
name of Rich, claiming to be from
one Of the Western States, made
his appearance in our city one night
OF last week as agent or owner Of
patent process for putting gloss
upon fine cloth and purple linen.
Upon his arrival ne is said to have
escorted a dusky damsel about the
highways with his arm linked in
hers. 1t is further alleged that
party Of Hamites ran him to one Of
the hotels with rocks, This should
have been sufficient to convince
him that even the negroes did not
approve of his base action. How
ever, his inclinations seemed to
lead him in the congenial society
Of the frisky sister in black He
dined and took tea with some Of
the colored people, and introduced
the doctrine Of social equality right
and left by his action. He was
notified by an anonymous COM
munication to make himself scarce
in this community. He went
around town making apologies to
the white people for his conduct,
thereby making enemies Of some
of his former colored associates.
Things began to assumea business
like appearance on Saturday and
he took the hint and left on the
afternoon train. A stranger who
conducts himself as a gentleman
viii find welcome here, but he
who endeavors to introduce social
equality in this enlightened com
munity may consider himself for
tunate if he escapes without being
tared and foathered."

A CORRECTION. 4.

LAGRANGE, Ga, June n, 1888.
MEssRs. CHEvEs & WESTON:
In the JOURNAL Of the Dist inst,
in your report Of the commence
ment exercises Of the South Ga.
Male and Female college think
you unintentionally, doubtless,
did me injustice in regard to the
disposition in awarding the Keely
Medals. In this paragraph Col.
d. A. Russell, Of Bainbrigde, in a
short and eloquent speech, pre-
scented two magnificent Kelly
Medals for Excellence in Latin
Prose and Poetry, the first to Miss
Birdie 0lcNulty and the second to
Miss L. Baxter Mabry. The
young ladies should be elated at
being the fortunate winners Of so
handsome prize" Now what [
think is injustice to me is the in
vidious comparison that you draw
between Miss Birdie McNulty and
myself; or, IN other words, that she
was first and [ was second, which
you and the audience doubtless
will remember Prof. McNulty pub
licly corrected, when Col. Russell
made the statement that "the first
Keely Medal was awarded to Miss
Birdie McNplty and the second to
Miss u. Baxter Mabry," by saying
that "they were equal in honor
While [ do not wish to claim any
more for myself than l am lneri-
toreously entitled to, and would
not detract one iota from Miss
Birdie McNulty, [ do complain at
being made second best when the
truth is and was so publicly an
nounced that we we're equal. As
your paper is read by hundreds
who were not present and did moi
hear the announcement made by
Prof. McNulty, [ think it is unjust
to me that it should go out to the
world that | was second, or merit
ed the second honor. In justice tc
myself ] ask that you publish this
correction in your widespread and
popular Journal"

A SAD DEATH.
a Young Lady starts Home,
and Drops Dead Just After
Boarding the Train.
Albany News and Advertiser july 1.

Albany News and Advertiser July /.
Saturday morning Miss Emma
Morgan, daughter of Mr.. James
Morgan, of Lee county, in compa-
ny with her brother-in-law and
sister, Mr.. and Mrs. John Irwin,
Of this city, boarded the II o'clock
train to go home, and soon after
taking her seat in the car she fell
dead without word or act of
warning to those around her.
Miss Morgan had been on a visit
to Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin, and, while
she had been Ia rather bad health
for some time past. nothing had
occurred to warn her or the family
OF the sad eyentof Saturday. She
was apparently as well as usual,
and conversed with her sister and
others up to the very moment of
her death. Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin
had started home with their sister
to spend Sunday at the parental
home, little thinking thatshe would
be corpse before their short
journey was fairly begun.
The train left very soon after
the young lady died, and perhaps
the first intimation that her family
had that all was not well with her,
was the arrival Of her lifeless re-
mains. What a shock it must
have heen! The family and
friends were anticipating happy
reunion, but their joyous anticipa
tons We're changed to mourning,
and the funeral will to-day take
the place Of happy family gath
erlng. "Man proposes, but God
disposes."

The First Bale.

A special to the Telegraph and
Messenger states that the ire
pre3sible Primrs ". Jones has
come to The front with the first
bale Of this years crop. It has
become habit Of his to get the
first bale from the State, but when
the Chronicle Of last week report
ed picking in Dewitt county,
Texas, things began to look equal
ly in the matterof leading the new
crop in the Southern States. But
Mr.. Jones has taken the cake, so
to speak. The new bale, classed
middling, weighed 335 pounds,
sold at PSI cents per pound, and
Melted the handsome sum Of
$85. 40. The first bale last year
was raised by the same gentleman
and sold on July 18th. 1t weigh
ed 429 pounds, classed low mid
ding, and sold at twenty cents.
This bale this year is said to be
the earliest ever known in Geor-
gia. In 1881 Texas reported a
new bale on July 5th. II we are
not mistaken it is the first year
that Texas has been beaten in
years,
