A $4,000 JERSEY cow.
Atlanta Constftution.

Capt G.. III. oYancey arrived in
Athens Friday after a short trip
through Canada, where he had gone
to purchase some Jersey cattle. He
went to see and also ate some butter
from the world renowned Jersey
cow. Mary Annof ST. Lambert, for
which an offer of $50, 900 was refus-
ed, and who would bring on the
block in New York $50,O00. This
COW has yielded four pounds of but
ter a day, and for eight months past
has averaged over three pounds.
She is treated like a race horse, be-
ing kept in stall with litter up 10
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 a young princess
The most wonderful thing about
these cattle is their appetite. De-
spite being pampered like child
Mary Ann of st. Lambert seems al :
ways hungry. The $50,000 bovine
is as gentle as lamb and delights
in being caressed. The owner OF
the cow has the finest herd of Jer-
seys in the world. While Capt.
Yancey was at his farm he refused
an offer of 500, ,0OOfor fourteen cows
and heifers and secuted the idea OF
thus sacrificing his cattle.

-fOf the countless good stories at
tributed to the lamented Artemus
Ward 1.-The best to our mind is the
one which tells Ofthe advice he gave
to a Southern railroad conductor
soon after the. war. The road was
in wretched condition, and the
trains consequently were run at a
phenomenally. low rate of speed.
When the Conductor was punching
his ticket, Artemus remarked: /:
"Does this railroad company allow
passengers to give it advice, if they
do SO in q respectful manner2" The
conductor replied in gruff tones that
he guess 50. n"Well," Artemus went
on, st occurred to me It would be
well to detach the catcher from
the front of the engine and hitch
il TO the rear of the train. For you
see we are not liable to overtake a

CALUMNY.

IL is . tolerably clear proposition, says
Harper's Weekly, that because Washing
ton and other great men have been cal
animated ii does not follow that every
thing alleged againt a public man is
Islander. The Aurora poured out q tor
rent Of abuse upon Washington, and
accused him Of betraying liberty. But
il never offered any evidence Of his Of
lenses against his country, and his pros
t~itution Of official trusts. Forged letters
were issued to blacken his character.
But no letters Of his own were ever pro-
duced which stained it.
The endeavor to lken every accused
public man to Washington, and to SIS
sumo his innocence because Washington
was innocent, necessarily fails. Every
such ease muss be judged by itself. Per-
sonal assaults are doubtless made upon
all candidates for high office, and IN every
canvass there is immense defamation.
But it can not be assumed that every
candidate who is arraigned is therefore
DETAINED, for he may be guilty. His
known character, the associations of his
public life, the nature of transactions in
which he has been engaged, will all be
taken into the account When evidence
is circumstantial, all such considerations
are Of high importance. There is no
surer defense than character against a
general shower Of accusations or appar-
entity strong evidence. Washington's
character was proof against every charge
Of doubtful public conduct. There was
nothing in his life, his q .tions, his
pursuits, which made n sc Of in
direct o improper con, ct probable,
Nc such accusation stuck" because it
was in itself improbable, and no word or
deed Of his, furnished any support to the
charge.
On the other hand, Hamilton's moral
nature was not felt to be SC severe as
Washington's. and when q charge was
inslnuated affecting his official honor, he
knew the adverse weight in his case Of
doubtful circumstances. and he did not
hesitate. at the most painful cost, to
prove oonelusively that the circumstances
were to be satisfactorily explainedwithont
a stain apon his official character.
Washington and Lincoln and John Jay
and Sumner were never, in the current
phrase, ~tattooed, because the charges
against them were only like dirty water
thrown in foolish rage. But injurious
charges which stick and stain because
they can not be explained do tattoo q
man. It was q wise course for the
Meshodists to seize the name which was
thrown at them in ~contumely. and wear
il as an honor. But had it implied any
actual discredi., they could not have
it. We shall see whether those who hold
Mr.. Blaine to be unjustly sssailed will
adopt ~ ornaments the names and words
which have become familiar in the con,
troversy.

of this small Eden The children were
forbidden to climb on the arbor because II
was getting old and unsafe; but who ever
heard of children being afraid where there
was any fun at stake? Three times day
fresh water was poured into this conductor
and as soon as the sound Of water was heard,
then was scramble and the two who tlrst
mounted the arbor were sure to be happy
Down the water flowed cold and clear as
crystal, and such fun the children had, splash
ing it upon each other, dipping their faces IN
to it, placing their small hands one over the
other, chucking the water until they were
forced to let it 60 with rush, overlooking
and sprinkling the longing faces below.
But too soon the sound at the windlass ceased,
andthen all used rapid efforts to get down be-
fore anybody comes" Often before this feat
can be accomplished they are greeted with a
shrill, you children git down, you knows
your Pa don't low you to git up dare" and
"Uncle Tom" comes putting and blowing to
enforce his words.
One day little maiden came to grief, for
in her haste to get down, she failed to notice
butter-bean pole near the arbor her dress
caught on it and there she hung kicking and
trying to get free, but without avail
For the pole was SO long,
And her dress was too strong,
SO she remained suspended,
Till some one kindly befriended
Relieving her awkward situation
But laughing at her modification.
| cannot say that she profted by this sad
experience but many hearty laugh has she
enjoyed in recalling this and other funny
scenes which occurred there.
The old garden is thing of the past, and
though we look with pride upon the growing
beauty and importance of our once little
city, we cannot repress a sigh for the old
familiar scenes The old Ashley Mansion
serves now as background for a more less
imposings buildings and the stately oaks
which once adorned the yard, are gone and
in their stead is the handiwork of men. It
takes ages to make Such trees and yet men
will ruthlessly destroy them in a day.
