One of the largest transfers Of cattle
that has taken place for some time occurred
at Cheyenne on Monday, and Is reported by
Bradstreet's Mercantile Agency. the
transfer consisted of %, 900 head of cattl,
by D. Shredy to the Ogalalla cattle Compa-
ny at $50 head, amounting to 500, 900, to
be delivered between the 18th and 2Oth OF
this onth. The cattle we're paid for In
cash the day the sale was consummated.
The communications received by the gov
ernor and council from different source :
are oftcntimes very laughable. Recently a.
old gentleman wrote from Frankfort that he
resided IN the lower story Of house,
while another party occupied the chambers
above. His neigbors, he said, were in the
habit of elnptylng filth out of their windows
much TO his annoyance, and he was deslr-
Gus that the governor and council should
take some means to restrain them. The
matter was referred to the State board of
health Another epistle came from the
first selectman of Waldo county town.
This contained statement that q young
man resided IN the town who was practicing
medicine, but never having obtained d.
ploma was unable to collect his bills. 1t
was represented that there was no other
doctor In the place and the services Of the
yonpg man were indispensable. The Town
Official was DESTROYS that the young man
could collect his bills

There is not the slightest certainty that
any Invention, however terrible would put
an end TO war, while there Is almost Ger
tainty that II such an invention were per-
ftcted, IL would previously increase the
miseries of mankind. Taken In the lump,
men will face any means Of destruction
whatsoever, II also they possess 1t them
selves. Give two men pistols, and they
win fight across a handkerchief. They are
not afraid Of death, but only death without
chance Of victory. King Theodore, OF
Abyssinia, asked his startled courtiers,
when the rocket sticks fell at his feet, If he
could be reasonably expected to face things
like these, and ultimately, In pure despair
Of defeating scielc e with unscentific
weapons, killed himself; but II he also had
possessed rockets he would have fought on.
No men, not even Pr9ssian soldiers or
English sailors, will face shells without
shells to throw back hut when they have
shells, they face the enemy's shells as
bravely as they did the old round shot.
The methods Of war are changed by sci
ence, but war is not extinguished. Sup
pose 1t is true that able chemists and
mocha niciaps could invent . method Of
throwing an asphyxiatiug vapor on a
sleeping army, what would be the results
First the adoption of some protective COW
ering, such as ironclad huts for sleeping In
next the adoption of method Of sntamp-
ing which spread the army over q surface
too great or ton uneven to be reached,
and next, the use Of similar mechanicians
and chemists as the assailing force. Hux-
ley would march with his fisherman would
march to choke Tyndali with his Alpine
climbers War would then consist mainly
of efforts to obtain ad vantageous positions,
from which showers OF death would be
thrown, but war would not cease, For
lorn hopes would be organized among
chemists or mechaniciaLs as among SOL
diers, enormous edwards would be paid
to new warriors, and nations world tight
each other as briskly as ever.

FRUIT JELLIEs-There IL little difficulty
In converting the juice Of fresh fruit, not
over ripe. into geatinous form. Straw
berries. raspberries, blackberries. and SIM
liar fruit should be gathered when free
from moisture and used for jelly the same
day. After MASKING the berries drain
through linen Jelly bag; q econd quality
of Jelly may be made from the remnant of
juice SOU ezed out. Crabapples, ounces
and peaches with water, cook until soft,
and drain the juice from the pulp without
pressure. 1t is a safe way to use equal
quantities of juice and sugar; the latter
should be Of the best quality, and heated
before adding to the boiling liquid: Con-
tinued boiling will not produce coaguls-
ton when sugar is deficient or over matur.
ity has occssioned a wstery condition of
the juice. The proper consistency is at.

spoon quickly stiffens. In bright July
weather the sun will change the sweetest
juice into jelly il exposed to its rays for
two weeks. Set the tumblers or jars upon
waiter as you fill them from the Hot liq-
uid, and place IN the sun for couple Of
days; then cut circles Of paper larger than
the top Of the gla es, paste the edges and
press upon the glass; draw the paste brush
across the paper cap to attach the label
bearing name and date. Put away In dry
store room, removing to the cellar only
when imperative to avoid freezing.

HE REPORTED FINALLY.-Col. VIM. Hob.
SOC, who was in command Of the seven
teenth Maine regiment Of volunteers during
the rebellion, had an individuality Of his
own, and was droll In the extreme. as ma
ny Of his soldiers in Biddeford will testify.
At the battle Of Amelia Springs, the last
engagement that the seventeenth took part
10, Gen. Pierce Of Michigan, 10 whose CON-
mand the regiment was, ordered Col. Hob
sen to -orm his men In certain position Ia
the line. and be did so. As he was return
ing to Gen. Pierce's station 70 report, he
was wounded and was carried of he field.
He did not report, of course, and from that
day until the recent Grand Army reunion 10
Portland he did not see Gen. Pierce. Dur
ing the reunion, learning that the general
was in Portland, Col. HObson called upon
him At the Preble House. He found him 10
the Office, engaged in conversation with q
number Of old comrades, aud. stepping up
saluted him grsvely aud said: General I've
come to report" Gen. Pierce looked at
him for q second, extended his hand and
burst out laughing. Then the two sat
down together and lived over old army days
with an evident pleasing satisfaction.
