A correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman sensibly writes: doctor
franklin once said with a good deal Of
truth, that he who goes borrowing,
goes sorrowinR; but have found by
experience that he who goes lending
has annoyance intending. All my
nearer neighbors who lived in viii
lage once borrowed my square harrow
to work their gardens, until one day |
found that six teeth we're gone. Ithen
told them that would continue TO
lend on condition that every borrower
should replace one tooth till all we're
restored. Some got mad, Others went
away and said nothing and only one
agreed 10 the terms. But the worst
case Of the above mentioned annoy
ance, was described at a late meeting
Of the Elmira Farmers Club. Mr..
Armstrong said he bought a moving
machine many years ago, but before he
hiiched the horses to tia borrower came.
He took it aud il went from place to
place until half its value was lost
and in fact, Mr.. Armstrong said he
sold It for just habits first cost, with.
out having used it a single time--and
made a good bargain. Ia some neigh.
borhoods this evil is much worse than
in others, and neighbOrs think they
have the first right to a tool and the
owner the second chance. Some never
bring the things home, and often the
whole neighborhood is searched to
know who has it. The only thanks
which the owner sometimes gets is in
in the shape Of a rebuke for lending a
tool which has some defect about it,
aud for which he ought toget it mend
ed and pay for the work-resdy to
lend again. | could tell great many
more such cases. Now, is it not the
duty Of every good farmer to use all
the influence he can to break up this
wreiched custom. | offer no other
suggestions; each one must decide on
the best way 10 do it,"

Gov. James 3. Mccnav.

The Lexington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Neics expresses our senti.
ments exactly in the following notice
Of our Ex-Governor:
"There is some talk in the newspa-
pers about ex Governor McCreary for
Senator. He has a mind admirably
adapted to questions Of finance and
economy; cautious, conservative, and
prudent, he could raise or lower the
tariff on dynamite--and collect it, too,
II necessary-without the least dan
ger Of being blown up. II ever there
was a man who could be trusted in
side a powder mill with box of luci.
fer matches in his pocket, that man is
"Jim" McCreary. He has the pecu-
liar faculty Of moving along with a
wave Of public excitement just fast
enough to keep 1t from breaking over
him and just slow enough to check it
before il goes too far. and float placid.
ly with it back to the safety line.
Consequently be made the best gov
ernor Kentucky has had within the
recollection of the "oldest inhabitant,"
and came nearer pleasing every body
at the same time. He did nothing
without deliberstiOn, and satisfied
himself as to all the facts and details
before he drew his conclusions. So
he could always render good reason
for whatever he did. l have no doubt
that he would like to go to the Sen
ate, and if he we're sent there bis pol
ished manners and uniform courtesy

cognition which other newcomers
might look for long time in vain"

Two cnLres IN flrs Months

A gentleman Of New Jersey writes
the Country Gentleman as follows 81
notice that one Of your correspond
ents gives the very interesting case Of
his grade Jersey COW which produced
two calves within FIVE months, both
we'll developed, and apparently at
full maturity. There are only two
theories as to how such a freak Of ma
ture could occur. First, twin con-
cepiion and the retarded growth Of
one fetus, so that they did not arrive
at maturity at the same time. Sec
ond, a subsequent conception some
months after the FIRST. The long in
terval between the birth Of the first
and second calf precludes the first
theory, and we can only conclude that
the COW was already with calf at the
time che was served by the bull on
the 2lst December, aud that the last
calf was the result Of n second i'm.
pregnation at that time.
In regard to the genus Homo, this
is proved to be possible, aud Doctor
Napheys, Of Philadelphia, in his ex-
cellent work; The Physical Life 81
Woman" gives several instances Of
the kind. One is the case Of "wo-
man aged 81, giving birth April SOth,
l74s, tot living boy at full term, and
on the ensuing September 10th, to a
living girl. which was recognized by
the size and well developed condition
Of its body and limbs 10 have been
also carried until full term" ADoth-
err is the case Of woman who
drought into the world girl on Jan.
90, 1880. and fse months and six
days afterward second girl, also ap
parently at term, and well nourish-
ed" DIR. N. remarks that "the
weight OF scientific observation and
authority has now established the fact
that in very rare instances second
conception may take place during
pregnancy
The above cases are interesting in
connection with the communication
referred to, and show that the won
derful performance Of his COW is with
in the range of physical possibility.
His conclusions in regard to a double
uterus in the case of twins, is not
confirmed by the above cases. In
regard to the first case quoted above,
the author says: ain this instance
there Was not double womb, As
might perhaps be supposed, for after
the mothers death an examination
proved that the uterus was single.

of the system they have adopted, but
they claim that il is superior TO any

they will use are capable Of taking
sound several thousands of miles
"There is no confused jumble Of syl.

will be so made that they will never
need looking after. The present ones

The death and burial of f G.. Steb-
bins, for twenty years editor Of the
Cuba, N. Y, Patriot. created a sensa.
ton in western New York. Stebbins
was an agnostic. For years be has
been dying Of consumption, and for
months has brooded over hisapproach-
ing dissolution. He was impressed by
the refusal Of Charles Thorne. the &C
tor, to have any religious services
held over his remains, and prior to
his death exacted from his family the
promise that no minister of any de.
nomination should be allowed to hold
religious services over his body. He
was a member of lodge 553. Knights
of Honor, and asked that the ceremo
ny be conducted by that chapter. He
desired the Knights, in following his
remains to the grave, to sing, March
ing Through Georgia" repeating the
song when the earth fell on his coffin.
On leaving the cemetery, they wereto
sing, Goodbye My Lover" Steb-
bins died last Friday, the funeral tax.
ing place day or two after. Twenty
eight Knights in full regalia attended
the funeral. They sung the songs re-
quested, both in going and coming.
The mourners did not seem to mind
the strangeness of the obsequies. The
scene at the grave when the earth
clattered on the box and the Knights
started up the old war song, was in-
pressive. AS the last words died away
the cortege moved on, and when out
side the cemetery, the sentimental
song was taken up and sung.
