His name should be passed around.
Charles Salter, steward Of the English
ship Jupiter" was witness of a
wreck off the Point LOUIS Rocks, on
the coast of Mexico The sea and
wind were too great to allow boats TO
approach the wreck, and several shots
had been fired across the vessel, but
the line would not hold on to the shot,
and fell into the water Against the
advice of his captain, who told him the
feat was impossible, Salter swan out to
the wreck with coil of small line
upon his shoulders. Twice he was
beaten back by the waves on to the
beach but a third time he plunged in,
and after forty minutes battle with the
breakers, the brave fellow reached the
ship and clambered on board. The
small rope enabled him to haul cable
from the shore, which was made fast,
and by means of what sailors call "a
buoy and breeches,' boy and three
ladies' were successfully sent ashore
The other passengers and the crew
quickly followed thirty-two souls in all
and last OF all came the brave sailor
30 whom they owed their lives, who
tainted as soon as he reached the
beach. The work OF rescue occupied
three hours, and only an hour after
wards the wreck completely broke up.

THE COW "HOISTED."

A man came into the office with a
black eye, a strip of court plaster
asross his cheek, one arm in sling,
and as he leaned on crutch and
wiped away the perspiration from
around lump on his forehead, with
red cotton handkerchief, he asked
if the editor was in. We noticed
that there was quite healthy smell
of stock-yards about the visitor, but
thinking that in his crippled condition
we could probably whip him, if worse
came to worse, we admitted that we
were in.
"Well, 1 want to stop my paper"
SAID he, as he sat down on one edge
of chair, as though it might hurt.
"Scratch my name right off. You
are responsible for my condition.
Thinking the man might have been
taking our advice to deaf men, to al
ways walk on railroad track if they
could find one, we were preparing to
scratch him off without any argument,
believing he was the man who knew
when he had enough, when he spoke
up as follows:
s'The amount of it is this: / live
out in Jefferson county, and l come
in on the Northwestern road, just to
get recreation. / am a farmer, and
keep cows. / recently read an article
in your paper about a dairyman' s
convention, where one of the mottos
over the door was, Treat your COWS
as you would lady, and the article
said it was contended by our best
dairymen that cow treated in a po-
lite, gentlemanly manner, as though
she was companion, would give
twice as much milk. The plan seemed
feasible to me. I had been a hare
, man with stock, and thought maybe
that was one reason my cows always
dried up when butter was forty cent:
: pound. / decided to adopt you

vator. 1t is then thrown into the
smelting-pot, which has a capacity of
six tons. A composition, the chief
ingredient of which is arsenic, is
mixed with lead. This is done by a
skillful hand, aud the greatest care
is necessary in the preparation. A
certain temperature Of heat is also
required in the smelling process. The
lead being in proper order, it is
poured into a pan or sieve about
twelve inches in diameter, containing
several hundred round holes, from
which a stream of shot drops to the
bottom of the tower into tank filled
with water. The newly-made shot
as it drops from the sieve very much
resembles a shower bath stream.
Here the use of arsenic and the nec-
essity of the great drop is seen. The
arsenic is used to keep the little ball
of lead made by the sieve compact
while the drop is necessary to COO
the missile in order that it retains its
rotundity before reaching the tank
In this manner four tons of shot pei
hour are manufactured, different
sieves being used for different sizes.
