two typical COWS were selected Il breed from,
as showing nearest perfection Of that shape

them was the COW whose picture is here

body, straight line Of the back and more
deerlike head are some Of the points of differ
ence. Since 1884 the fashion has been to
breed for color and shape. The recent but

A Mysterious Package Received
by a Bank.

by a Bank
CINCINNATI, June 5.-The Van
Wort, Ohio, National Bank received
yesterday by United States express
from the Union National Bank of this
city, a package p~urpOrting to contain
$4,000, but when opened was found
to be filled with cotton, pasteboards
and railroad advertising bills. The
package should have reached Van
Wort on Wednesday. The money
clerk who received it here says he
sesled it with green wax. The way
bill for the run Of Tuesday night had
the package marked "short." When
received the package was sealed with
red wax, the delay of tw~enty-four
hours in transit is not yet explained,
but will doubtless give a clue to the
robbers. No thorough investigation
of the method of substitution can be
made here. Superintendent Conex, of
Toledo, is looking into the matter.
The package could pass over three
roads, and through the hands of three
messengers between here and Van
Wort. This could easily explain the
twenty -four hours delay. The package
was not sealed by the money clerk
here, having been previously sealed by
the bank.

paper were his living spokesman. Truly, the
girl was very much in love, and absence
made her heart grow fonder, which is not
usual with either male or female hearts, I'M
less 1 see the world wrongly altogether.
About this time S~ophia-and not Sophia
only, but all Of us-began to notice that Mr.
Brent looked paleF than usual, walked with a
slight drag Of the right foot, and sometimes
missed a word out Of a sentence without
being aware Of it. Again, he would observe
the mistake, and correct it with an appear
ance of irritation. brain mischief going
on" old Sparker whispered. And he was
right; for one Sunday. evening, after preach
ing, the rector suddenly became speeches. in
the vestry, and lost his power of motion.
he never spoke a syllable again; and even
when he opened his eyes there was no reason
in them. A dreadful storm of wind and rain
anne on that night, and blew the golden cock
from off the church Steeple, and some Of the
masonry with il. The tempest ragged round
the rectory garden, and uprooted two great
nelm trees, and cast them across the lawn in
Gigantic ruin. Meanwhile the rector lay as
quiet as if a summer breeze was blowing.
There was no storm that could roar loud
enough to disturb hisA sleep. And in the
morning, when we awoke to see what the
wind had done in our gardens and parks, we
heard our kind-hearted little rector had de-
parted from us forever, just while the storm
was uttering its iercest blast.
We said that we could have better spared a
better man, looked grave a moment, re-
mar,;ed how uncertain life is, and then
talked of the storm, and forgot the rector.
But to Sophia his death was q terrible sor-
row. Somehow Percival seemed gone; she
would hear no more about him, nor have the
remote but still very actual comfort of talk
ing with his father and seeing his old haunts.
She had borne trials already, and other trials
awaited her; but this was, after all, one Of
the sorest she ever felt. She grew lonely,
sad, doubling; began to think Percy would
forget her; tried valiantly to battle with her
fears; cried many hours when she was alone,
then wiped her eyes and went downstairs
smilingly; but it was an aching heart that
beat in her breast. And the body of the rec
tor was laid to sleep in the churchyard, and
his successor came. The king was dead, and
the cry was, Long live the kingr' for we
, were all pleased with our new parson. He
preached sermons shorter by five minutes
than those of Mr.. Brent. He kept two c%urates,
goodlooking bachelors. He worked the
parish well. So we confessed every one that
the loss of poor Brent was gain to us;
especially these last few years, we said, when
trouble overcame him, and this brain mis-
chief had been stealthily making its way
nearer to his vital part. Very soon the old
rector's name was forgotten; but day by day
and week by week we noticed that over the
grave where his mortal part lay fresh flow
ers were strewn by some tender and unfor-
nntt1nn hand

A Fight Expected Between Troops

Of troops are behind the hostiles. and

The apostle Lorenzo Snow said that he would

said that he had not any right to tai k that
way. The officials had no malice They
were but doing their duty, and would join
him in asking clemency of the President for
