SHEEP WASHING SUSSEX.
What a Visitor Sa w on Farmer Stub
ble's Premises.

Century.
One morning, going down to the barn,
ound two of the farm laborers. Shadrach
and MeSbach (known among their brethren
as Shed and Shach, raising huge empty
barrel into wagon. In response to my in
quiry one of the men said: ''We'se a go
ing ter wash them ewes, num-" A Wis
ion OF them ewes" being tumbled into the
barrel and secured seemed rather peculiar;
so, on an invitation from Farmer Stubbe,
to come and look on, l followed the pro-
cesslon. First went the numbering, pic
turesque old cart, then the sheep were
driven from the fold and turned into the
lane. along which they crawed until they
came to the mill stream. l then found it
was Shed and not the sheep that went into
the barrel, which was placed in the water
and dashed to the bank. The sheep were
driven up on one side and guarded by
several men, while the shepherd raised a
great eve in his arms and threw it head
foremost into the rivulet AS it rose the
watchful Shed, in the barrel grasped it by
the back and ducked it several times Es-
Gaping from his hand. the poor half
drowned creature rushed toward cut in
the bank and so escaped to dry land. This
process was gone through with all the
sheep. Whether it was due to their nat
ural stupidity or the muddling effect of
water on the brain. many of them blum
dered into the stream again and tried to
escape by steep ascent on the other side
Then came the turn of the ruddy, cherub
like son of Shadrach, whO planted on the
further shore and armed with an iron hook
on ten-foot pole, crooked the wandering
sheep to land. Many of them needed as
sisting up the slippery cut. and very conf
cal it was to see their weak kneed struggle
to regain the meadow. They appeared
utterly unable to account for the enormous
additional weight of their water-soake d
wool; and as they stood huddled together
in the puddles from their streaming sides
the bleating lambs did not appear to know
their own mothers. The following day thu
flock was driven into new fold in the
hillside pasture, where the process OF
shearng commenced. All of the we'll
washed sheep were in turn deprived of
their heavy winter coats. AS they lett the
| shearers hands it did not seem possible
that these poor. lean creatures could be the
| round balls OF wool we were accustomed to
see. Every shorn lamb gaZed at it's clipped
and unclipped sisters with a vague, solemn
look, wondering what was coming next.
After the ordeal they were turned into the
brightest meadow on the farm, and prob
| ably soon forgot the break of those two
| days in their monotonous life of nibbling.
| The numerous f1ocks of sheep in Sussex

King Theebaw.

FOrtn1gntly review.
The curious fact is that Theebaw began
well. as Nero did and that he is man of
some education for an Eastern sovereign.
The explanation of his later career is prob
ably the same as that which historians are
now inclined to give to the career of Cali
guia. Theebaw is in all probability mad
man; but whether he be mad or sane it is
clear that we could not endure any more at
his hands. If we are nation of shop
keepers we are bound to look after our
shops. We might have found reason long
ago of higher moral interest for putting a
restraint on the conduct of SO dangerous a
neighbor. But he has at last touched us
nearly on principle the reverse of that
which decided the action of the governor OF
the Tower in Sherdan's Critic. If we have
to intervene. it is hardly possible to con-
ceive that the Intervention could end in
anything short of the deposition Of the Bur-
mese tyrant.

New RICHMOND, Dec. 15.-The third
annual exhibition of the Wisconsin State
Poultry association opened to-day under
most favorable auspices. The attendance
and the large number of entries Indicate a
favorable commencement. and promises the
most favorable exhibition yet held by the
association. The exhibition is held in the
Princess skating rink, a large and commo-
dious building, vet not large enough to
meet the demands of the newly-converted
enthusiasts in poultry raising. The pre-
NUNS offered by the citizens amount to
about $500. This is outside of the induce
ments held out by the association. Some
six different states are represented, viz:
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana,
Michigan and Illinois. Over five hundred
coops have been furnished exhibitors, and
still the demand for space is greater than
can be met. Every grade of fowl, domes-
tic and wild, even to the American eagle,
are well represented.
Among those present are B. n. Pierce of
indianapolis Ind; c. A. Gale of Garden
City, who has the largest poultry house in
Minnesota: Leslie Parlin of st. Paul. Mimi;
II. \. McKusick of Saltwater Mimi; Mrs.

F. W. Jewett, Jewett Mills, Wis, Gen.

The favorable and suspicious opening of
the exhibition is very largely due to the
well-directed efforts and energy of DR.. F.
W. Epply. who is the liveliest correspond
ing secretary any association ever had, aud
who is largely interested in fancy breeds,
also large exhibitor. A. c. Myers and
II. c. Allen are also entitled to credit for
time and money spent. These three, with
ID. W. Davis, will make the exhibition a
success.
The attendance for the first day is very
fair. The entries closed at 10 p. m. and
the number was about 1000. On Thurs
day evening DR.. 7. B. Spaulding will de-
liver lecture upon Artificial Incubation
and the Poultry Interests in the United
States. Hon. 8. n. Pierce is the best
judge of poultry known to fancy breeders.
and the association is TO be congratulated on
having secured his services.
