Cows and Alfalfa.

Judge Tweed has lost in the last week two of his bes. COWS by bloat> ing from alfalfa, and several other persons in the valley have lost cows in the same way. We are told that there is little danger to stock running day and night on alfalfa, but where they are taken up in the day time to be milked or have to be kept up through the night 10 be mixed carly in the morniag, it is difficult to save them from gorSing themselves on being turned out. If a COW is found gorged to any dangerous extent, and before she falls, she can generally be saved by running a knife into the paunch and letting out the gas, but this harsh remedy has to be applied promptly or the COW will die. We are told that this remedy by the knife has to be resorted to often by Judge Tweed and Mir. Montgomery in saving their milch COWS.

ITS WORK IN srRATHRoY
It often hannens tbat inc oninio

It often happens that the opinion
 of an experienced man, an expert, if
 we so call him, conveys greater fierce
 than an aggregation of outside, un-
 educated testimony. And then, too
 personal experience or observation
 is so much more convincing than
 mere assertion. Trained to habits
 of analysis and keenest accuracy,
 and from the very nature of their daily occupation, given 10 the mos. incisive criticism of anything of p oprietary nsture, chemists, as a class, hesitate very long before in dorsing anything of a remedial nature whose virtures have been an nounced through the pubic press. St. Jacobs Oil, however, js 50 uni versally successful and so unvarying- ly accomplishes all that il promises that the able chemist, ". l.

A frog pond is not merely a thing
 of noise and nuisaLce, # one knows
 how to use It. We g1ye the feilow>
 ing interesting little sketch of the
 business fro m the Breeder and Sports
 naa1a: "Thcre is money in frogs and
 it isn't everybody that knows it. They find ready sale in all large cities, at extra prices. Frogs hind
 legs, properly cooked, are a great delicacy-a long way ahead of anY>
 thlng else in the shape of meat.
 Quail on toast is nowhere. There
 is no expense attached to raisisg them. They feed themselves and do their own croaklng without assist ance Along the Truckee meadows there are many places where frog vineyards could be maintained with | profit. In some parts of the Easterr States the raising of them is rcgu- lar industry. Tie marshes between Detroit and Lake St. Clair, Michi gan, are the resorts of mili ions of millions of frogs, and it is asserted that mere of tn. m are sold in the city of Detroit than any other city of its size. During the frog season heavy shi pments are made to New York, Bo> ton and other eastern cit ics. The commercial frog is said to be as suspicious as wolf, as wild IS deer, and as shrewd as a fox 4 good hunter, however, has been known to capture 200 frogs per day, put three or four dozen legs are con iidere d fir days bag. They are lot worth catching uStil they are wo years old, and are not prime" lntil they req. the age of five Frogs have been caught in the St. 4 Jlair marshes weighing as much as even pounds, and having legs like rum sticks. One was caught at the lead of Belle Isle, two years ago, which kicked the beam at nine ounds.

GENERAL CRook seems to be me

GENERAL CROOK seems to be nov ing very slowly indeed, but never theless we yet have faith in his judgment and that he will end h. dian depredations in this Territory and along the border before he quits. The movements of General Crook would have been more popular, and we believe more effective, had they been more prompt and rapid. Pos sibly his immediate presence in the southern part of the Territory would have been saved some lives, probably it would not. The General has prob ably lost some of the fire of former years, but we trust his judgment is full of vigor and that plans are be- ing matured for cooperation with the commanding officers in New Mexico and Sonora that will be at once carried into execution in such an effective manner that Indian raids on the border will be thing of the past. Suppose G cneral Crook with all his forces had been on the ground, the probabilities are that they might have made good Indians of a portion of the depredating band and saved some lives-the attack he probably could not have prevented neither could he have finished up the business in permanent manner without doing just what we have reason to believe he is doing and which necessarily takes time. So far the military pursuit of the In dians has been a mere farce. We trust the commanding officer sees this as well as other people. We 1
 believe he will correct it. There is much to be done to correct it. AL though we have been disgusted with the military movements and felt in dignant that our citizens must be murdered in cold blood without pro, lection, we are not yet ready to con demn General Crook When he fail: to do any thing under the presen
 premises, seeks his quarters at Pres colt and leaves the border to bC overrun; when he fails to extermin ate the Chiric1huas, we have nC more use for him; till then we giv, him the benefit of a doubt.

ALessonin Smelling.

Since the introduction of Spelling Matches, many words have come promir ently into notice-words that were previously comparatively un- known. For instance we find Anti septic, meaning: stoping and prevent ing fe lentation and decomposition and Analgesiant: Painkiller. Then Antipyreiic: Cooling down infama- tion and fever heat. These three words so often mis-spclled, are three ot the cardinal virtues of something that will cure many a bad spell, and that is Salicylica, pronounced Sal-i- cyl-i-ca Warranted to afford imme- diate relief, and guaranteed to cure Rheumatism, Gout or Neuralgia.

She committed a criminal offense in not reporting that case 1 (who dIed recently in Gardiners corraD to the authorities that it might be removed to T pest house. In the name of common sense why should she be punished when so many other cases of the same disease had occurred, some that died, had been allowed 10 remain in town wi h. out any measures being taken to pre- ven. contagion.
 When she has commi ted an error that has not been committed by any one else, then there would be shadow of grounds for all this talk. Besides, 1t IS not a clear case that thu sressu fficient grounds for the prevailing panic. The panic and the false rumors set af1oat are far more harmful (aside f. om the deaths) than the disease. And now that a pest house has been provided, the indications are that the next insItu- tion in demand is a lunatic asylum. Either that or place of correction | for sad people who tell mischiev- | ous falsehoods is now unquestion- ably in demand. For instance, yes terday it was rumored that there were twenty new cases of this pres vailing disease. After the most dil- igent inquiry, we failed to find 0ne.

One Of Benfon's scenes fin the
 Senate.

Inferior in intellectual abiiito to
 Webster, Clay, or Calhoun, Thomas
 Hart Benton had no superior as a
 man of iron will and naughty dispo-
 sition, during the twenty-nine years
 and seven months that he served
 continuously in the United States
 Senate. Aggressive, bold and defiant
 he would occasionally strike out
 recklessly at everything and every
 body about him, like the huge wild
 buffaioes of the Missouri prairies, treading his opponents beneath his
 feet Tn his angry rush. His great est display of ungovernable rage in the Senate chamber was when, in an angry debate, he advanced Mith thre- atening gestures toward Senator Foo;e, of Mississipp', who, fearing that he was to be attacked, drew small pocket-pis;ol. The sight of this weapon made Benton uncentrol- lable, and, cndcavoring to shake of the grasp of friends who seized him, he shouted: "The cowardly assassin, let him shoot me if be dares. I nev- CT carry arms, and he knows it. Let the assassin firei" After quiet was restored, Clay sug ggested that both senators should enter into bonds to keep the peace, upon which Benton rose and exclaimed: T will rot in jail, sir, before I will do itt No, ST! I will rot Tn jail firstl" and he proceeded 10 pour forth a torrent of bitter invective on Foote before he could be quieted. Even when he was defeated in seeking q reelection for the six time in the Senate, and | was forced to accept seat in the l House of Representatives, Benton failed to di play chastened ambi- tion or a soitened heart.-Ben Perley | P00re, in tue Aprig CENTURY.
