A Relic of the Mexican War.

At the breaking out of the Mexican
war, Gov. Moorhead, of Kentucky, pre-
scented to Gen. Crittenden silver pen.
Gen. Crittenden became an aid to Gen.
Taylor, who, while in the field, receiv-
ed letter from Santa Anna, demand
ing the surrender of the United States
forces. Gen. Taylor at once asked
Gen. Crittenden for pen. Gov. Crit
tenden. handed him the pen which had
been given him by Gov. Moorhead,
with which Gen. Taylor wrote Santa
Anna declining to surrender. At the
close of the Mexican war Gen. Critten-
den returned the pen to Gov. Moor
head, stating the fact that Gen. Taylor
had used it in his reply to Santa Anna.
After retaining it for several years,
Gov. Moorhead presented the pen to a
lady, now residing in Washington, &C.
companied by letter giving its history
as above stated.

Talked His Arm OF.

A bore in one of the Omaha hotels
one evening, caught the laugh in a
style he richly merited, after he had
wearied a dozen or more gentlemen
sitting around by his loud and inces-
SAINT gable. He had hauled his chair
about the room, delivering his ideas at
the closest obtainable range, and was
just closing the list upon a demure-
looking gentleman buried studiously In
newspaper. The quiet man had lost
his right arm and wore a false, gloved
hand. The nuisance planted his chair
Immediately in front of him and plunged
into one of his inane harangues. The
annoyance was tolerated for few min
utes, when, with stealthy movement,
the quiet man unfastened the attach
ments of the false arm and it dropped
to the floor. The garrulous bore
checked his tongue aghast, and with
feigned horror his victim started to his
feet, exclaiming, @Man, you have ru-
med me; you have talked my arm Off
Amid screams of laughter the bore
leaped from his seat and fed.-Omahd

Tile Fish.

Rather more than five years ago,
one of the vessels employed by the
United States Fish Commission dredg-
ed up from the depths of the ocean,
about one hundred miles east of Cape
Hatteras, specimens of fish which had
never been seen before. The discover
ers called it the tile fish, from its ex-
traordinary shape. Until quite lately
other deep-sea dredgers in the same
neighborhood have frequently found
the fish; but it appears that since the
beginning of the present year the
species has, in some way, been destroy
ed. In the early summer, scores OF
ships arriving in New England ports
from the South brought news that the
surface of the sea over an immense area
off Cape Hatteras was covered with
dead fish of an uncommon variety. In
vestigation proved that the defunct
were tile fish, and ever since, although
the tile fish has been repeatedly dredg-
ed for in its old haunts, not a single
specimen has been brought up. Prof.
Baird, who has already pointed out
that there are many deep-sea fish that
cannot survive variation of four or
five degrees of temperature in the
waters they inhabit, is of the opinion
that a cold current must have penetrat-
ed the domain of the unfortunate tile
fish, and thus caused the apparent ex-
tinction of the race.

Canine Intelligence.

at is truly amusing" says the Lon
don Truth, ITO see the assembled wise
acres of the British Institution making
discoveries in the canine intelligence,
which must have been common knowl-
edge to dog-fanciers in the days of
Nimrod. Sir John Lubbock's learned
poodle is fool beside little perform
ing mongrel which 1 have lately seen
at one of the south-coast watering
places. Any spectator was invited to
show this little animal his watch, when
the dog, after studying the face for a
moment, would proceed to tell the
time by selecting the proper figures
from row of Arabic mot Roman)
numerals placed before him. Again,
Prof. Flowers eminently Scotch tyke,
who refused to go for walk on the
'Sawbath,' is very little ahead of the
dog whom most of us have seen or
heard of who loses all desire to go out
Sunday morning upon being shown a
prayer-book. In the same way i have
heard of university dog-probably
not a unique specimen-who, though
always frantic to start out the moment
his master took up his hat, never Of
fered to move when the head-covering
was O college-cap."

Jumbo, the Great Elephant.

Jumbo was about twenty-five years
old. He was born on the coast of At
RIGA in the latter part of the year 1860.
His first appearance In polite society
was as baby elephant, being cap
tured when about year old and taken
to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
There he was kept three years, and
was then given In exchange to the Lon
don Geological Gardens of London.
He arrived at the British capital in
1865, and remained there for seventeen
years, the most favored pet of the whole
kingdom. Early in 1882 Mr.. p. L.
Barnum purchased him for $4,000,
but lawsuits increased the cost to $780,
600 before he could be brought away
from England. The news of his sale
caused much grief and CONSERVATION
among the children in London, and
even some of the older Britons, includ-
ing the famous Mr.. Ruskin, entered a
protest against the transfer. Jumbo
was so attached to his home at the Lon
don Gardens that it was very difficult
to persuade him to leave it, but after
several trials he was at last enticed on
board ship. He arrived in this country
in April, 1882, and had been engaged
in visiting the various large cities of
the land from that time until his death.
The weight of this huge animal, the
largest elephant ever known in captiv-
ity, was seven and half tons, and he
stood eleven and half feet high. The
circumstances of his death were as fol-
lows: He had been exhibited at st.
Thomas, Ont, September 10, 1885,
and was being led along the track with
Tom Thumb, the baby elephant, to be
loaded into their respective cars, when
a heavy freight train, running at the
rate of forty miles an hour, bore down
upon them. As soon as Jumbo saw the
train he made rush for Tom Thumb,
and, grasping him with his trunk,
threw him across the tracks as easily
as if he had been q kitten. Jumbo
then tried to save himself, but it was
too late, and he was crushed to death
between the engine of the train and the
cars upon the siding. The poor beasts
devotion to the younger elephant was
unfortunately wasted, for Tom Thumbs
leg was broken, and he had to be shot
the next day.-Ipter Ocean.

A Scotch farmer writes to O London
journal: During the past few years 1
have visited q good many agricultural
shows, but / have observed no i'm
provement in stock. / speak from O
farmers point of view, which is pay
ing point. In the feeding and rearing
of stock We have reached the limit with
our present knowledge. No progress
in this direction is to be expected.
There is, however, much to be done
in the application of machinery.
Every year brings with it some i'm
provement, chiefly, / regret to say,
from America. There is also field
almost uncultivated rich In stores of
knowledge. We have had centuries OF
practical farming, but we are no near
er the solution of such problems as
rinderpest, braxy, fnger-and-toe, and
clover sickness, the assimilation Of
nitrogen by plants, the turnip fly, and
other insects injurious to the farmer.
If the learned people who are to as
semble in few days at Aberdeen,
could throw any light on these ques-
tons, they would be comforting great
benefit on farmers. 1t is a pity that
there is no section for papers and DIS
cussion on agricultural science. We
shall hear q good deal about germs,
atoms, molecules, the heat of the sun,
and the proper rotation of crops for
the moon, but / should like to know
if our rotation of crops has any scien-
tific basis. We have no unfriendly
feeling toward the farmers in the moon.
On the contrary, if we could get at
them we should offer to fight them.
Whatever may be the case with English
farmers, every intelligent Scotch farm
er gladly welcomes all knowledge
which is likely to be of service to him
in his work. The appreciation of some
lectures recently delivered in Aber-
deenshire by Mr.. Buckmaster. from
South Kensington, shows that farmers
are fully alive to the importance OF
more scientific knowledge in farming.
Some of us are rather too old to begin
the study of chemistry, and, anxious
though we may be for our boys to learn
a little agricultural science, there is
nowhere for them to learn it except al
an expense far beyond the means of an
ordinary farmer. We can get Latin for
our boys in any quantity and in every
| quality, in almost all schools, but
science nowhere. Ny boys leave school
at about fifteen or sixteen, utterly ig.
norant of all natural phenomena, and
fear the secondary schools we are to
have in Scotland, if not narrowly
watched, will only perpetuate this
darkness and ignorance.

all. Az might have been expected, the
plots not irrigated at all produced the
worst crops but the result m the other
cases was certainly curious. If not alto
gether contrary to general expectation.
In all cases the plots of land irrigated
once q month bore the heaviest crops; ;
next came the plots irrigated every two
weeks, and then those irrigated once q
week. With monthly irrigating, crops
averaging 53a bushels per acre were
harvested, whereas the ordinary crop in
the same locality was but 14i bushels.
These experiments, besides proving the
value of irrigation in quadrupling the
yield, also afford valuable hint in the
cultivation of plants generally, for they
seem to show that-with cereals, at any
rate-it is not the frequent application
of water that is required, but it's album
dant application at considerable inter-
walls
