The II0lsteinS Coming.

Mr.. w. L. Archibald, Of Oxford,
Miss, has lately returned from
Holland with 200 head of choice
selected Holstein cattle, bought
for the Memphis and surrounding
cattle and grazing country. Mr..
Archibald aud son went to Fries
land, the home of the Holstein
cattle, and selected these. They
will be required to remain IN quar-.
antine at Walthan, in the vicinity
of Boston. They will then be
brought TO Memphis to be sold to
planters and stock men.
Mr.. Archibald has studied the
situation and decided that the
Holstein is the stock for the
Southern country. The Holstein
furnishes a hardy stock, equal to
any for giving milk, and also rated
with the best for beef. Thus with
a hardy stock possessing the vir-
tues of the Shorthorn and Jersey,
good for butter and bees, he
thinks he has hit what the country
needs.
In the course of the business a
Holstein Cattle Association will
be formed to get up q new herd
book in this latitude. Without
lowering the standard it has been
decided that Southern cattle can
be cheaply and as well registered
here, as to pay enormously for
Northern registration.
This Holstein cattle movement
is one for the earnest study of
Shelby county planters and also
for those of Mississippi aud Ar.
kansas. If we ale ever to pros
per we must do more to raise
what we consume and find sources
of wealth in something besides
our one staple. Shelby county,
possessing the market of a city,
could well afford to devote its
lands gradually to stock and TO
better paying crops. - Memphis

aTEeeIa' 4 Preacher

There we're few preachers in the
early days Of Indiana better known
than Samuel Hamilton. He was
the FIRST presiding elder of the In
dianapolis district. He was the
contemporary of Strange. Bigelow,
Wiley aud other great names
among the pioneers OF the Church.
At one time his circuit embraced
a good part of Southern Indiana
and Central Kentucky. At one OF
these appointments in Kentucky
he had among his regular hearers
an aristocratie member of the
ehivalry of the State, who carried
the title of "Colonel.n One Sun.
day the Colonel took his seat IN
the sanctuary. having by his side
one of his neighbors, who was Civ
en- to indulging pretty freely in
kentucky's favorite beverage.
On this particular Sunday he bad
taken just enough to make himself
troublesome.
The preacher was holding forth
on the sins Of the day, and finally
mentioned horse racing as one of
them. The Colonel was lover Of
the turf, aud rs the divine struck
at the sin, the neighbor nudged
the Colonel and remarked, in a
voice audible all over the church
"Colonel, he means you.' Pro-
fame swearing was next touched
upon, and again the Colonel was
nudged, with the remark: "Colo-
mel, he means you." SO it went
on, as sin after sin was mentioned,
until the audience was almost con-
vulsed with laughter. Finally a
small dog entered at the open
door and trotted down the aisle
until II reached the front of the
pulpit, when it set up furious
barking at the minister. The
Colonel's tipsy neighbor, with the
utmost gravity, arose aud walked
steadily down the aisle to where
the dog was barking. Seizlng the
animal by the neck, he held him
up before the congregation a. mo
ment, and then, shaking him furi
ousiy, he broke out with: "Tree
a preacher, will you, you i'll bred
pup" This was too mnch for Mr..
Hamilton. lie could restrain his
laughter no longer, and he took
his seat, not being able to dismiss
his congregation.

A few weeks ago We gave some
particulars of the Montgomery
Long Fibre Cotton Ginning Co., of
Washington, and stated that IL
their claims were fully sustained
when their new process was put
to o practical test, 1t would pro-
baby almost revolutionize cotton
spinning. Mention was made of
the fact that they were then pre-
pairing the necessary machinery at
Griffin, Ca, to tcst this process.
The Griffin News of last week
says:
For some time past Col. T. Mont.

together with several others, have
been in the city for the purpose of
making experiments with seed cot.

Their operations have been carried
on for some time In building
on Sixth street; engines were
erected and other machinery
placed there for the purpose above
mentioned. Everything being ii
readiness the theory was giyel
the benefit of a thorough trial thil

by those who had labored faithful

Everything worked beautifully

TIE Jewish Spectator.
fAvalanehe.l


The Jewish Spectator is the
tasteful title Of an attractive He
brew paper, No. l of volume l Of
which appeared yesterday. The
Jewish Spectator is neatly printed
on excellent paper. with a plain.
neat headline.
Rabbi NJ. Samfeld will oficiate
as editor, while the position Of
managing editor Is filed BY IN ex-
perienced newspaper man and a
graceful and easy writer, Mr.. Ma
than Picard. II aims at becoming
the exponent of the best Jewish
thought of the South and TO fill
the place of pnrveyor of news fer
the Israelites of the Southern
States.
While an apology is made for
the first issue, il was hardly neces
sary. Its excellent variety of
matter, including news from wide
scope of territory from the Allie
ghanies to Brownsville, Tex, ed.
itorial matter. and Daniels mimi
table corner by Mr.. Picard and the
local" do credit to its corps of
editors.
Memphis ia an excellent point
for the publication of an Israelite
paper to occupy wide field. No
better point could be found for
sueh paper. tits in capable hands
aud the frst number breathes the
spirit and contains plain signs of
success. The following extract
from the salutatory will show
what the Spectator proposes to
itself:
Briefly exaressed. we desire to
make the Jev sh Spectator the ex.
ponent of Ju Eism and advocate
of progressive development in Jn.
daism. It's telsiencies will be in
favor of constructive healthy re.
form in synagogue and Sabbath.
school, aud in pursuance of the
mental and moral elevation of our
people in private and public life.
The Spectator will be independ-
ent of local issues and personal
views, it will not be the organ Of
any specia! faction or Of tho ideas
of any one man. Free scope and
wide margin will be granted for
the expression and promnlgstion
of ideas not IN conflict with the
higher standard of Journalism. and
we invite discussion In our pages
upon all subjects of interest to
religion aud humanity, but we will
not permit our columns to degen
crate into personal controversy of
an aggressive and acrimonious
character.

TO the E.litor Of the Scientific American.
Measure off a distance from the
foot Of the tree which tho expert.
mentor may think is little less
than the length of the tree, and
stand facing the tree with a staff
of such length that it may be stuck
into ground until the top is on a
level with the eyes. Then lie
down on tho back with the feet
against the foot of the staff, the
head being In straight line away
from the tree. 1t will be under.
stood at once that the line of Wis
ion, passing just over the stan, will
strike the tree exactly the same
distance from the ground that the
eyes are from the foot Of the tree.
OF course it Is presumed that the
tree is straight and the direc-
ton selected to form the bottom
of the right angle is level. 1t is
easier to obtain these conditions
BY this process than by computing
from shadows, as any side of the
tree mey be chosen.
This plan has been followed for
years by woodsmen to find out be.

length or not.
