As the train slowed up at the sta
ton a commercial looking man, who
had been noticed in earnest conver'
sation with another party of the
same general appearance, was heard
to remark:
Smart? He's the smartest drum

The other commercial-looking
man nodded els head at this very
happy illustration, and every body
thought the conversation was ended
when a lonesome individual on the
opposite side of the car thus re-
marked:

Even the sleepy passengers arous

A Governors FIX.

Old Governor Mattocks, of Ver-
mont, who, when III Congress, boast
ed that he could beat 'em all writ
ing bad" was no speech-maker.
rne nearest he ever CAME TO making
ID political harangue, according to u
writer III the Lowell Courier, WAS
once when his friends gathered
around him TO congratulate him Oh
his nomination as Governor OF the
State. He was in tight place, for
he was compelled to reply. dis
speech was as follows;
BOYS, | thank YOU; and now. If
you viii elect me Governor. / will
tell you what | will do. | will APP
point two Thanksgiving and no
Fast. Goodbye"
Still, he want often at a loss to
fiud something to say when some
thing had to be said. One New
Years Day morning, as he Was
bathing and preparing for breakfast,
he unfortunately leaned against the
door at the head of the stairs leading
to the kitchen. The door gave way.
and the maids of the household,
while busy preparing the morning
meal, were astonished to see, rolling
and tumbling into their presence. a
chubby, fat old gentleman in most
unpresentable attire. But his wits
were with him.
Ladies" he exclaimed politely
Il wish you all a happy New Year y
and then bounded up stairs again,
four steps at time.

A German farmer was on trial in

The Californ IA Panther.

Whatever may be the habits of
the panther in other localities, we
have the authority of Mr.. Living
stone for the statement that those
about the McCloyd river will always
run from a dog, no matter how small
he is, aud when closed upon will
spring into a tree. to the height of
over twenty feet. So intently will
the panther watch the barking and
excited dog from his position on the
branch that the hunter can come as
close as be pleases and take deliber-
ate aim. Near Mount Persephone
panthers' tracks were observed to be
thick at the base of vertical wall
about twenty feet, forming the foot
of precipitous mountain side Once
upon the summit of this rock the
panthers were safe from white man,
Indian or dog. Though the panther
is 80 cowardly with a dog, perhaps
from inherited fear OF chase by a
pack of wolves or wild dogs, be will
encounter and conquer the grizzly
bear. Combats between these two
animals seem to be not untrequent,
and the Indians have found dead
bears that have been killed bv PAN
theirs, hut never dead panthers that
bears have killed. The panther is
said to spring on the shoulders of
the bear and cut through the threat
with his teeth.

Good Cows.

Can any one estimate the loss an
nnally en'.aiied upon the dairymen
of the cou ntry by keeping poor COWS
on scant pasture sunted IN water or
compelle d 70 drink from stagnant
pools, bounded to and from the
milking yard, MIXED by brutal and
rough hired men, the milk manipu-
lated in room upsuited Tor the
purpose by women or girls without
the slightest idea of the art OF butter
making, and packed and sent to
market, in an almost unmarketable
style? This is something that the
rnest competent expert cannot detail
in dollars and cents.
In regard to the quality of cows,
any farmer can satisfy himself that
while his ordinary native cows will
not make more than about five
pounds OF butter per week, there are
Jerseys that can make twenty
pounds in the same time. And
again, while at the present writing
1t is difficult to get more than ~
cents per pound for butter as usual
ly made, yet there are gilt edge
diaries that are sure OF 30 to 10 cents
per pound for the product of their
dalrles.
The farmer who has q dairy that
6iil average from ten to fifteen
pounds of butter and gets for it from
30 to rs cents pei pound, most eer-
tainly makes greater profit than
his neighbor, whose dairy only
averages five pounds of butter per
head, and who only gets 20 cents per
pound for his butter. Commence
by discarding all your "dung-hills )
they are Improbable. You have
only kept them at loss, and in
their place get the very best dairy
animals within your reach OF any
dairy breed you may prefer. Having
done so, then in the name OF reason
and common sense do not treat
them as you did your old-dung
hills.
Care for them in manner calcu'
lated to promote their we'll being
and productiveness. Improve your
stock by judlcious breeding, the use
of wellbred males, and make ul
your milk, whether IN butter ol
cheese, in the best possible manner
, Make an article that VIII command
premium in the market. The but

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention TO the fact that after April
16, 1888, the name and style of this
preparation will hereafter be simply
Parker's Tonic. The word Ginger
is dropped, for the reason that un-
principled dealers are constantly de-
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger; and as ginger is an un-
important favoring ingredient in
our Tonic, we are sure that our
friends will agree with us as to the
Lropriety Of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the prep
aration itself and all bottles re-
manning in the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of "PARK
ER's GINGER Toxic" contain the gen.
uine medicine if the signature of
HIscoX e. Co. IS at the bottom of the
