IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
Scheme to Introduce Cholera-Tn-
feoted Raisins into This
Country.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 2.-Consid-
cradle excitement was caused among
importers of groceries, of this city,
statements tending to show the exis-
tence of a scheme TO introduce chole-
ia infected raisins into the United
States. 1t appears that one of leading
houses in the trade on the Pacific coast
has advices from its agent in New
York stating that one of the largest
buyers of imported raisins has just
received a dispatch from Malaga,
stating that the product this year is
very large and of excellent quality,
and that the presence of cholera in
Spain will not act as an impediment
in the way of shipment to the United
States. This is alleged to have been
accompanied by a letter of VIM.
Smith, health officer of the port of
New York, to the importers, in which
he says that fruits gathered in infect
ed districts, but packed and shipped
from non-infected points, will not OH
that account subject a vessel to de-
lay at quarantine. This refers dis
tinctly to the import of raisins from
Malaga and Denia. Referring to
these statements, prominent men in
the fruit trade and experienced pack
ers declare that there is great danger
of the introduction of cholera mic
robes in raisins from infected districts
of Spain, as packed fruits easily alb
sorb microbes and retain them for q
great length of time.

In the diagram Central Kentucky is
bounded by lines drawn across the
State-one at Elizabethtown and the
other at Lexington, including much
less than one-third of the State. The
officers named are elective. The Com
mercial says the distribution of
appointive officers is scarcely less
partial,
This exhibit will surprise those who
have not given the subject close atten-
ton, and many may ask, why is IL so ?
Undoubtedly there are in Eastern
and Western Kentucky politicians
the equals in ability and personal
popularity of those of the Center /;
but going into a convention they do
not unite upon candidate, while the
politicians of the Center, adopts in
the business of c-seeking and of
fice-getting, adjust their local differ
ences, present an unbroken front, and
capture the pie. t|
The Democrats of Western Kentuc-
ky claim the Speaker of the next As
sembly and the Senator who will
succeed Mr. Beck, and say they in
tend to have them. They may get
them, but they are not likely TO do
so in antagonizing both Central and
Eastern Kentucky.

The lasso commonly used by cow

The lasso commonly used by cow
boys is made Of sixty feet of rope, a
third of which forms the loop.
When thrown, it is swung over The
head and left shoulder and then over
the right shoulder, with a peculiar
turn of the wrist calculated to keep
the loop open until it encircles the
object at which it is flung. Expert
throwers do not pride themselves on
catching steer by the horns, but
try 10 so hurl the moose III front of
the beast that he will step into it, thus
entangling his legs and throwing
him. In Wyoming exhibition a
cowboy repeatedly caught a bull by
any leg that the spectators named,

About 600 persons who left the
country on the downfall of the Con-
federate States, are living on plaGta-
tions in the wilderness of San Paulo,
in Southern Brazil. The settlement
was made under the leadership of
Robert Burton, and is called "Rebel's
Rest" They are prosperous, but Of

They could return in peace now, as

possession Of the county. and they

Horses in Battle.

Warehouses, when hit in battle,
tremble in every muscle and groan
deeply, while their eyes show deep
astonishment. During the battle Of
Waterloo some of the horses, as they
lay upon the ground, having recover
ed from the first agony of their
wounds, fell to eating the grass about
them, thus surrounding themselves
with a circle Of bare ground, the
limited extent of which showed their
weakness. Others were observed
quietly gazing OH the field between
the two hostile lines, their riders
having been shot off their backs, and
the balls flying over their heads and
the tumult behind, before and around
them caused no interruption to the
usual instinct ftheir nature. 1t was
also observed that when charge of
cavalry went past near to any of the
stray horses already mentioned they
would set of, form themselves in the
rear of their mounted companions,
and, though without riders, gallop
strenuously along with the rest, not
stopping or flinching when the fatal
shock with the enemy took place.
AT the battle of Kirk, in 1745, Maj.
Macdonald, having unhorsed an
English officer, took possession of his
horse, which was very beautiful, and
Immediately mounted it. When the
English cavalry fled the horse ran
away with his captor, notwithstand-
ing all his efforts to restrain him ;'nor
did it stop until it was at the head of
the regiment of which apparently its
master was commander. The melan-
choly, and at the same time ludicrous,
figure which Macdonald presented
when he saw himself the victim of
his ambition to possess a fine horse,
which ultimately cost him his life
upon the scaffold, may be easily con-
ceived. "', -. eh.A

A CYNICAL RHYME.

The girl Of the period
hangeth her hair,
And stoOps to Il myraid
Tricks to seem fair.
Her waist Is diminished,
Her feet are made small,
Her llnger nails finished
by artists from Gaul.
She uses cosmetic
And poudre lie his;
And oh! how aesthetic
In dress she can be.
Her teeth are forever
when paid for her own;
what odds II they never
Were bred in the bone.
Her checks, 30 admired,
by drugs are made round;
Her bushes acquired
AT 70 much n pound.
Her eyes she enhances
by painting the lash;
But naught wins her glances
Like good solid cash.
Although tits alarming,
Some fellows, no doubt,
viii deem her quite charming;
Well! just count me out.

The Stream Ct Life.

The blood cannot be pure unless
the liver acts rightly. Nor can it be
rich unless ii has enough iron in it.
The iron in Browns Iron Ditters is
exactly what is needed to give the
blood proper vigor and purity. This
splendid tonic acts OH the liver and
sets the whole digestive machinery
to rights. 1t brings to the blood the
iron which gives the tiny corpuscles
their rich red color. Don't let your
blood get thin and watery, thus in
viting disease.

PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND
LONDON, May 31.-The most en-
couragiug feature of the agricultural
outlook is the favorable change in the
weather, which has come al the most
opportune time, when warmth and
sunshine will produce the best results,
especially as it has been preceded by
most copious rains. The backward
condition of crops and the discoloration
of wheats have been source of com,
plant, but it is now admitted that nc
lasting injury has been done, and il
the present fine weather continues
rapid Improvement In harvest prospects
is expected.

Breeding Young Heifers.
To the Standard :

To the Standards
Noticing in the STANDARD of May
23d, that Dr. Ritchey's young heifer,
Ida's Princess, had dropped calf at
the early age of five days less than
seventeen months, such cases of early
breeding being somewhat rare, we
send you the following, which may be
of interest in that connection to show
how young 1t is possible to breed cattle,
although practice not generally to be
approved:
We clip from the Breeders Gazette,
Chicago, ILL.,, the following case Of
early maturity in a heifer:
"Mr. E. S. Bufum, of Leroy, Ia,
writes: We report what we think to
be the earliest case of maturity, where
both dam and calf have lived and done
well, yet reported. Donate (27534
A. j. G. G. H. r. was born March

Good Combination, (103S7 A. j. c.

ting with the calves, and served Be-
mate. The owner saw the service anC
made an entry of the fact in his regis
ter at the time. March II, 1885, il
27S 'days from date of service, and ont
day less than year of age, Bomat'
dropped heifer calf entirely unas
sisted, and at this date, April 9TH
both are doing well, the young mothe
giving fully three quarts of milk daily
and the calf lively, promising, and o
fair size. Has this ever been beaten?
This is a remarkable case, but it j
not the earliest case of maturity OF
record by over a month. Mr.. JacoI
Vernon, residing at Shelbyville, Ind.
in 1855, had shorthOrn heifer tina
dropped a fine, healthy calf when sh
was three days less than eleven month
old. He was at that time clerk of tn
Circuit Court of his county. and tn
court, then in session, was adjOurne
an hour earlier than usual upon til
day of the birth of the calf, in orde
to give the clerk an opportunity to g
out to his farm and see it.
Another case was reported by W
o. Pickrell, of Ottawa, Kan, of
shorthorn heifer that dropped a ca,
when she was exactly eleven month
old" j. CT
