J. S. Halves, of Colony, Kansas, recently
sold thoroughbred Hereford bull calf six
months old, by Fortune 1850, for 81 600.
TIE same party that purchased this animal
has bought all of 81, 800 worth of these cele-
brated cattle from this gentleman. He al
so sold another bull to parties in Texas for
$500, and stated that his stock are all in

$3.50 for the bull and 800 each for the heif-

them pronounce about the finest in the

no trouble for a Galloway yearling to

A grey color is often objected to by horse
men, but the London Lire Stock Journal
comes to its defense in these words: Grey
is a color which is promising to become
fashionable among draft horse breeders.
The grey horse be it noted, is the favorite
horse of art, also of the general public, and
we would like to see it better esteemed III
the show ring. Special prizes should be
given for horses of special colors, such as
blue-roans and greys, in order to encourage
breeders to institute families of SUCH. The
grey is always stylish. and as ruli is OF
higher stature.
Prof Law, of Cornell University, caused
some cows to drink for several days from a
stagnant pool of water that existed in a
swale, and then examined tire milk and
found it full OF living organisms. Then re
water from the pool was examined and the
same little living germs were found. Then
the cows were examined and were found to
be in a feverisn condition, the result Of
their blood being charged with this living
animalcule. Then some pure milk was ia
ken and some of this pond water put with
it, and these same germs multiplied within
a few hours so as to take full possession of
the milk. Cows should have pure water.

Why Jews Live SO Long.

The Ne7o England Medical Monthly COM
ments very favorably on the proverbial
long and healthful lives Of the Jews. DR..
Picard holds that this superiority is due to
their stringent health laws. The Mosaic,
like the older Egyptian code, is very strin-
gent regarding the eating of flesh and other
articles of food. OF the animals examined,
a large proportion are always condemned
as unfit for food. People who eat meat in
Discriminatory are very prone to disorders
of the blood and of the kidneys, for meat is
have to remove from the blood, and OF
course they can not do this successfully ex-
cept by the aid of Warmers safe cure, the
best kidney strengthened, unless it is tenn
perately partaken of and only the very
best meat is used. Jews also use alcoholic
liquors very sparingly and thus keep up
good digestion, and then again they are a
holiday loving and misunderstanding class.

They are the objects of compassion with

how they get along. They say, "wonder
how they do their cooking" But the
bachelors are happy. They can cook. They
can bake. They feel a little bAshful TO
have the pretty girls next door looking at
them when they empty soapsuds or dish
water and they arc not always certain
that their washing will escape criticism.
But the climax of their fun comes when
neighbor, who has spells Of beneyolence,

Those SILVER Halves.

Last week the DEMocRAr gave an ac-
count Of the finding Of six dollars in silver
by Bill Clark and his pard, recently on the
NIonteith place near this city. From Mr. w
S John we learn how the money got there.
The place where it was found was once the
camping ground of the Calipooias. In 1875
one Of the tribe, IIunch-back Mariah, whom
our older citizens will remember, came to
the city one day, got drunk, returned home
and hid under the roots Of a stump what
money she had, which happened to be six
dollars in silver. When she became sober
a diligeut hunt was made for Il, but the
fates willed that Il should not be expended
for whiskey until the year 1886. Hunch-
back Marinh is dead. A son lives at the
Siletz, her lawful heir but he would have
to be the fastest kind of streaked lightning
to have reached Albany before those silver
halves were exchanged for that which makes
giddy.

Last Monday the surveyors Of the Q. z,
arrived in Albany and will soon begin q
continuation Of the survey eastward from
Albany towards the Santiam. About tho
same time another party leaves Baker City
and will survey from the Snake River west
ward until the Albany party is met. This
shows that this road means business. The
site Of the bridge has been located, we are
told, bat it is not yet made public. Work
viii be begun ia few days and the laying
Of the track proceed towards this city.
When commenced three months will prob
ably see an engine into Albany. The pres.
ent large traffic on the road is a good indi-
.tion Of what will be meant when the
greater advantage of track to Albany is
obtained, and that will be sometime before
the next harvest.

The nearest to horseman on the DEMO
cRAT's staff stumbled into Johnny DubruiI-
les harness shop the first Of the week, and
really you can not stumble into a finsr
stocked shop in the valley. Mr DubruiIie
treated us so well We are going TO give
him away by telling what we saw. As
nearly as we remember it was something
like thirty patterns OF splendidly made sin
gle harnesses, which Mr. ID. informed us
we could have for from $40 to $50 but
% got he was talking to a newspaper man /;
a large stock Of double harness about
twenty patterns Of elegant side saddles (;
fully forty patterns of Monte busters, hand
embroidered, in artistic designs, nsorth from
SI.7s to 81 whips, etc. All together the
best stock of harness, side saddles and dus-
ters BY large majority, that we have ever
seen in Albany. The man who would
buy without calling on Mr.. Dubruille would
deserve being defeated for Office.

Recovered the horse.

Last week we announced the stealing Of
a horse, by young man of eighteen, fiom
Mr.. George Warren, Of Halsey precinct.
After an interval of abouttwo weeks on last
Friday Mr.. Warren succeeded in capturing
his horse. He found it In this city in the
possession of Mr. l.. Senders. Mr.. Senders
purchased it Of Mr.. John Sloan, of Eugene,
for 500, and Mr. Sloan of the young man
for ten or fifteen dollar watch. That of
itself should have excited suspicious and cali
ed for investigation, particularly as the ven
dor was boy but it seems as If the love
of a good bargain IS above that Of seeing
property protected. Of course Mr.. Sloan
had to refund to Mr. Senders, who bought
the horse in good faith. An effort is being
made to capture the thief but there is little
clue to his whereabouts.
