law, and Capt. Waddell, commander
in-chief Of the oyster navy, does not
anticipate that the exempted oyster

extent By depredations from Chesa-

stringent law on the subject. with its
severe penalties. hangs over them.
Meanwhile the entire feet OF sailing
vessels attached to the force is kept in
constant service guarding the different
localities, and under the system
adopted by Capt. Waddell, the force
at any particular locality can be sup
plemented at short notice by ordering
out the steamers when occasion re-

is specially intended for such service
as this, and being conveniently locat-

steamers are at Annapolis. The
oy ter police schooner Folly returned
last night after cruise of eight days
in the Patapsco and tributaries. No

A $4,000 JERSEY cow.

Everything In Sight.
dtlantd Constitution.

dtturttu IOHStttHLtoH'
Captain G. II. Yancey arrived In Athens
Friday, after short trip through Canada,
where he had gone to purchase some Jersey
cattle. The Captains chief mission was 70
invest In Jersey cattle, and he spent some
time with the most famous breeders. lie
went TO see and also ate some butter from
the world renowned Jersey COW, Mary Ann
of st. Lambert, for which an offer Of $4,000
was refused, and who would bring on the
block in New York $4,000. This COW has
yielded four pounds Of butter day, and for
eight months past has averaged over three
pounds. She Is treated like race.horse,
being kept in stall with litter up to her
sides, and one man does nothing but attend
to her. She has four troughs In her stall and
is attended to as regularly as young prin-
cess. The Captain says the most wonderful
thing about these cattle is their appetite.
Despite being pampered like q child, Mary
Ann OF st. Lambert seems always hungry,
and while lie was in her stall she came near
chewing off one of his coat tails. But II was
not at all disagreeable to receive such atten-
ton from S50,0eo bovine. She is as gentle
as a lamb and delights in being caressed.
The owner Of the cow has the finest herd
of Jerseys in the world. While Capt. Yam
cey was at his farm he refused an offer of
$4,000 for fourteen cows and heifers, and
secuted the Idea OF thus sacrificing his cattle.
