fulness and may yet add to the total

fulness and may yet add to the total
of her product.
While some of these prices were
made in the heat of an undue ex-
citement, which eliminated soon
after her first calves were sold,
and then collapsed, yet the latter
prices were no doubt the reasonable
maket value of her stock, which
was much sought after by breeders
on account of it's real excellence for
breeding. 1t is interesting to notice
this history in connection with the
recent speculation and reign of ex
treme high prices in Jersey cattle,
with view to seek any good rea-
son for them. 'Like does not pro-
duce like" among the Jerseys.
There are many lapses and blanks
in the sequence. A noted COW
may have one or two daughters
worthy of note, and a noted bull
may be the sire of a few good COWS;
but of all the progeny of these ami
mails but small proportion are of
anything like equal value with
their progenitors, while some ami
mails far exceed il value any known
progenitor. 1t is lottery on a
grand scale, in which tickets sold
for thousands of dellars draw blanks
or very insignificant prizes. An
instance was recently noteI in these
columns; viz, the bull, Farmers
Glory" which, on the strength of
an expectation that he would per-
petuate the character of his progen-
itors, sold for So, go; but failing to
meet this hope. was sold a few
weeks ago for s14O. which was
probably as much as he was worth
to a butter dairyman for crossing
upon native COWS All these facts
90 to show that large butter yield
is not a fixed attribute of the Jer-
sey breed, and that chance has
more to do with the extraordinary
or so claimed-yields of butter than
the breeding; and that this want of
hereditary excellence in this respect
is good ground for considering the
high prices paid for some animals
to be quite unwarrantad. This fact
is rapidly becoming understood by
purchasers of Jerseys, and it casts
cloud over the breed which depres-
ses the expectations of those who
purchase them, even for the ordi-
nary business of the dairy Never
theless, one certain characteristic
belongs to this breed, which is the
richness of their milk in butter,
although the quantity may be very
small.

A Romantic Girl,
from Lord Molesbury's Memoirs.

Captain and Mrs. Burrell are
here. The former relates an anus
ing adventure which happened to
him at New Castle, where he was
quartered. He had severe attack
of small pox and was confined to
his bed at the hotel. During his
illness young lady with a carriage
and servants, of fashionable ap-
pearance, arrived there intending
to stay for one night only; but on
hearing that young officer was
dangerously i'll in the same house,
she expressed great interest, and
instead of leaving next morning she
announced her intention of remain
ing a few days, constantly repeat
ing her inquiries as to the state OF
the sick man.
Captain Burrell was extremely
touched at her romantic conduct,
which he took as personal COM
pliment, but when recovering, the
doctors announcing that he was
safe, and the lady being informed
Of the fact, she ordered her car
riage, after telling the waiter that
she was much disappointed, as her
object in stopping was to see a mil
itary funeral"

The Cowboy of Florida.

Visiting one of the stores for the
sake of provisioning the craft, the
principal business of Fort Myers
was at once discernible from the
array of saddles and brides exhib-
tied. Around this point and from
many a jungle and prairie in the
neighborhood cattle are brought in
for shipment to Punta Rassa, to be
sent from thence to Key West and
Cuba. A good many gaunt lads,
lounging around in high boots,
with jingling spurs, showed the pc
culiarities of their calling, for they
were the cowboys Of this region. |
doubt whether the cowboy of the
West is recruited entirely from the
country where he herds or drives
his cattle, but the Foridian w-boy
is indigenous to the soil. Hard
work and plenty of it, at times
with poor food, a facilitating eli.
mate and many mosquitoes have
made them heshless. Driving cat
tie in the West is certainly no
child's play, but in this portion of
Florida the task must be partic-
ularly difficult one from the nature
of the country. TO scamper at full
speed across the country in quest
Of bunch" of cattle must endan-
ger their nccks. Through the pal
metto cabbages and tangle of vines,
across the boggy flats driving into
pine thickets, the soil burrowed by
the gophcrs, the cattle hunter spurs
his horse. Perhaps it is the mount.
which ought to be as much pitied
as any of the animals, the horse, the
boy or the bull. Western horses
barely stand the hard work and
are used up in a season. Anything
like high legged animal comes to
grief in very short order. The
horse wanted for work is the small,
scrubby animal, born and bred in
Florida. He seems to be capable
of withstanding any amount of
hard service. Certainly the Florida
cattle of this section are the poor
est specimens of the bovine race
known. They present, save about
their legs, few traces of merit. Hav-
ing not much weight to carry, their
speed is for short burst enough to
blow horse. Fancy cattle whose
live weight will average three hund-
and fifty pounds?-[ Exchange.

Early Banking in st. Paul.

St. Paul has been money center
since its ancient times. An account
of the banking interests of St. Paul
prior t, the panic of 1857, with
description of the banking methods
Of those days, with pen pictures of
the men who kept the Northwest
supplied with money. would make
an interesting chapter. 1t was in
these days that J. J. Knox, sub
sequently United States comptroller
and his brother H. Nj. Knox: now
public examiner of Minnesota, did
business on Bridge square; and Mar
shall Pierce, Truman Smith and Mr.
Elgerton, now president of the Sec
ond National Bank handled funds
further down the hill. Speaking
to an old resident on this subject
the other day, he said that there
were at least a dozen or fifteen pri-
vate banking houses on the street at
that time, and that Truman Smiths
offices under the old International
hotel, which was the chef hostelry
of the town, was fitted up in style
of elegance which has not been ex-
ceedel even to this day-which is
saying a great de in view of recent
accomplishment in the line of bank
building. Well, there were great
times with :wildcat" currency, and
fiaally the crash came. Every
banker in St. Paul was buried be-
meath the financial debris but Mr..
Edgerton, who managed in some
way to stem the tide of failure,
and came out whole.

animation, as the owners are
ncrvously afraid to trust their
treasures in the hands of one who,
albeit in ignorance, might irrever-
emily turn them the wrong way
and so undo much ofthe merit ac-
quired by perpetual twlrling in the
opposite direction. For as we
eventually discovered, not only is
the sacred six-syllabled charm en-
bossed on the metal cylinder, but
the same mystic words were writ
ten over and over again on every,
lengthy strips Of cloth or papyrus,
which arc bound round the spindle
on which the cylinder rotates, and
one end which forms the handle.
1t is therefore necessary to turn
this little barrel of prayers in such
a direction that the character form
ing the holy phrase may pass in
proper order before the person
turning, and as all Oriental books
read from the right side of each
page to the left, the barrel is
turned in the same direction. For
the same reason the Thibeatan
walks in this direction round the
great terraces and other buildings
on which the holy words are in
scribed, in order that his eyes may
rest on the words in due course,
which can only be the case when he
keeps his left hand toward the OBJ
ject round which he is walking.
Happily, this produces a doubly
satisfactory result, for in eastern
lands, as well as in our west, it has
ever been accounted lucky and
meritorious to walk round sacred
objects in this sunwise course, an
act of homage to the sun which l
have seen rendered in many lands.
Just as orr British ancestors con-
tinueC thu to circumambulate their
churches long after they had nom
inal!y abandoned paganism, SO
throughout the world we find SUR
vivals of the old homage.

Value of a Pure-Bred Animal.

"The maxim among breeders"
saws the New York Times, that
'like produces like" is true only in
a narrow sense, viz, that it applies
only to animals that are purely bred
from a line of blood that has some
permanent and peculiar character
istic. For instance the Scotch polled
breed is invariably black and horn
less and has been so for many years,
and every animal of the race pos:
sesses these particular marks. And
in this case 'like produces like" :"
and every calf in a herd of polled
Aberdeen cattle is black and horn
less. 1t is this persistence of char
acter in pure breed that gives value
to it and induces breeders to give
high prices for the best specimens
of the breed. A noted example of
a valuable animal is afforded by the
shorthorn COW, 10th Duchess of
Airdrie. This COW was one Of the
descendants of tire famous Duchess
tribe, bred and brought to a high
condition by the noted English
breeder, Mr.. Bates, and improved
beyond a question, by the course OF
breeding practices by Mr.. A. }:
Alexander, of Kentucky, who bred
the COW under notice. The progeny
of this COW, which is still living and
has recently, in her 18th year, pro-
duced her twelfth living calf, hav-
ing lost two, has sold for more
money than the produce of any
COW that ever lived. Her second
daughter sold in 1870 for s21 900
another sold for $4,000: another
for $4,000; another for $4,000
others sold for S., 800, 81, 100, s4,7O
and $3,2O5. Some of her grand
daughters out of her first daughters
sold for 1000; $5,O75 and a great
grandson brought $3.50. The ole
cow is still in a condition Of use

THE COMING OF AUTUMN.

ICHAs. J. o MALLEY, IN THE CURRENT.
With sprays of cypress coiled around her
Wrealhing her brows, and at her cold,
white feet
A twining clasp Of purple bittcrswcet.
She came down DER the damp leaves sere
and red
Came down DER fearful Natures voiceless
dead
And paused far in the dusk gloomed
retreat,
Her wistrul eyes brimmed full of tears un-
shed.
Paused where the sombre boughs of cy-
press meet
In the dark tas'ness of the ghostly valley;
And, while the alders in the twilight
hoary,
Murmured and moaned above her musi-
cally,
Like fair planet, shorn OF half its glory,
Palled and wan. in the thick-darkening
wood,
With chill winds blowing round her, Au-
tumn stood.
Bare was her bosom, save where knots OF
holly.
Cinctured with opais famed in the faint
light
Like tapers flashing thro' murky night,
And on her brow. swept DER with melan-
choly
Like brow of one who E,oans DER deeds ol
folly,
She wreathed sere leaves in garlands wan
and white,
With nightshade bound her tresses. while,
full lowly
The murm' 'rirg streamlet rippled down
ward bright;
Daylight was dead; and i'm the dusky arches
Made by the boughs that shmmered
overhead
The low wind whispered in the rustling
larches;
Dark leaves fell down; the squirrel sought
his bed;
Yet there she stood, mournful as dying
ewes.
Wearing her knots of crisp October leaves.
