eating liquors among workingmen that
they do net have enough good food, and
have to exc it cut with stimulants to
force their system to call in 0 active use
the food that is stored up in their bodies.
There are millions Of people in the world
who are slowly starving. The best soci-

Mr.. John Mitchell of Meadow Brook
Farm, near Newburg, n. v, has two
three year-old IIolstein heifers. with
calves, which, as milk producers, have
beaten the record Of that class Of cattle
He has refused an offer OF 80, 900 for one
of them, with her calf. They are named
Jamaica and Ethelka, respectively, and
We're purchased from j. y. Robbins Of
Beaver Farm, Long Island. jamaica,
the more remarkable Of the two, is said
to have produced nearly twice us much
per day as the highest record heretofore
made by a three -year-od IIolstein, that
of Smith & Powel!s Clothilde, it SYRIA
cuse, which was sixty four pounds per
day, or, estimating two pounds to a
quart. thirtytWo quarts. Jamaica, how
ever, has far exceeded this by giving in
one day the remarkable quantity Of one
hundred and three and quarter pounds
Of milk, or about tifty-one and half
quarts. Ethelka, though beating Cloth
llde's best record, does not approximate
the production of her mate Her best
yield Of any one day has been eighty and
one half pounds, or about forty quarts
The milk Of both is rich and of fine flavor
They developed their productive qualities
after the birth OF their second calves.

A Trotting Horses Memory.

The celebrated trotting horse, Gold
smith Maid, now nineteen years Old, has
home at Mr.. H. n. Smiths place in
Trenton. y. J. There she was visited
recently by her old driver, Budd Doble.
Being asked if the Maid knew him, Mr.
Doblc replied; "Bess your soul, the
minute | entered her stall she came up to
me and rubbed her head against my arm
and face. She neighed and frisked around
the stall like a colt, and did everything
but speak. | used sometimes to give her
an apple, and had one this time cut
il in quarters and put the pieces in differ
ent pockets, and she managed to get
them all out. 1t did my heart good to
See her. You remember she had an un-
usually long tail. used to teach her to
lie down so that her tail would be clear
of everything; asked her to lie down
this time, and you would have laughed
to see her turn round and round and
switch her tail about until it was Just SO,
and then lie down with it extended on
the clean straw"

Be MercifuI to the Beasts.

There can be no excuse to treat ami
mails cruelty. Brutal treatment to man

law. We never knew one cruel to his
beasts who was either a good man him
self or kindly disposed to bis felowmen.
Humanity. however, is much the result
Of example and education. Many igno-
rant people know no better. They seem
to think that their animals should have
aS much sense as themselves-and in
some instances they are not mistaken
and they beat them on every occasion in
which they depart from the course mark
ed out for them. Others who have
naturally violent tempers, never think at
all, and maltreat their animals frequent
y to a shocking degree, with or without
excuse. In all civilized countries, oflate
wears. measures have been adopted TO
puJ limit to these brutaities And
now, as warm weather will soon be here
again, when horses and mules suffer
much from being overloaded or overdriv-
en-, let us hope that charity will prevail,
and mercy be shown to these valuable,
patient assistants. Germantown Tee-

SOME IuINGS SETTLED.

The election of de legates to the Republican
National Convention is over. 1t has not settled
everything III the next convention or the next
campaign, but it has settled some things of vital
Importance and profound moment to the nation
and the Republican party. TO candidates and pol
iticians. 1t has settled:
That James q. Blaine is the choice of an
overwhelming majority of Republican States
and Republican voters.
That he leads every other candidate by Il Wild
er gap than separates him from majority.
That four Blaine delegates out of five are
from Republican States.
That one half the delegates opposed TO him
come from States that are not Republican.
That Blaine is strong where the people are
strong. ana that where the machine is strong
Blaine delegates are few.
That his predominance shows that the ma
chine has ceased to be a power in the tepubi-
can party.
That the influences which nominated James
A. Garfield and demand the nomination of his
Secretary of State are dominant in the party of
Lincoln and Garfield.
That these forces are opposed only by the
remnants of the old machine and the disorganiz-
ing faction of Free-trade Independents.
That this leaves the great body of the Repub-
lican party in favor of Protection. free party
rule and James q. Blaine.
That the next national candidate will be NOM
mated upon this platform
That the next President will be elected upon
it.
That the one man whom all, friend and foe,
unite in agreeing best represents these princi-
piles is James Gillespie Blaine. Philadelphia

1t will be seen that in the Republican States
Mr.. Blaine has about four times many dele
gates as Mr.. Arthur. Where Republicanism is
strong Blaine is strong The only hope of de-
feating his nomination rests upon the rotten

give no electoral votes to make a Republican
President. Mr.. Arthur's delegates are divided

Some weeks ago, in response to an invitation
from one of its readers, the New York Evening
Post started in to kill off Mr.. Blaine. 1t loaded
both barrels to the muzzle and let drive at him.
The discharge of the gun was harmless, but
the recoil was quite forcible, Mr.. Blaine was
not hurt at ALL But the Post, we regret to say,
certainly lost standing among the lovers of fair

And now what? 0, now the Post wants the

Sport For English Mobiles.

A number of young English mobiles,
including the Earl of Mayo and Lord
Ronald Gowen have been hunting wild
elephants in the Teral, a forest pre-
served for the purpose at the foot of
the Himalayas. When the hunters have
found a herd of a hundred or so of
Wild elephants, 200 coolies are tele-
graphed for to do the ''beating." They
surround the herd, and by gradually
narrowing the circle and making all
sorts of frightful noises, brighten the
elephants into a narrow. space in the
center, where a stockade has been bull
and an intrenchment dug, so that they
cannot get away. The difficulty is il
getting the elephants tied down, as they
are very wild and dangerous at first
The hunting party have about fifty
tame elephants with them. and thes,
play a prominent part in forcibly civil
izing their wild brethren. The poo
coolies often get killed in this work ,anl

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
Itmatters little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where heart-tires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence guides.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, and brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to aid fro-
Down lowliest ways if God wills itso.
Beautiful shoulders rethose that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homfely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless7
Silent rivers of happiness.
Whose hidden fountains few may guess.
