A Peril of Bull-Butter.

In the New York Market Journal
and Price Current of the 18th inst. we
find leading editorial which opens as
follows.
Mr.. R. c. Judson, who is Secretary
of a Western Agricultural Society, has
united with the philosophical editor of
the Baltimore Sun in making solemn
statement which leads one into region
of bewildering speculation.
"They aver that the "Black Prince
of Linden bull of the famous Shoe
maker herd, in addition to his value
for stock purposes, gives milk-like a
COW from four well-fOrmed teats. They
saw this done in the presence of num-
erous witnesses, and there can be no
mistake about it. They further de-
clare that the bun has never been at
tended to with any view of developing
his milking popularity, but there is lit
tie doubt that with proper attention he
would have given sufficient milk of the
richest character to supply large fami-
ly.
This paper processes no particular &C.
quaintance with the internal revenue of
the bull species; but it sees no reason
why there should be any especial diff
erence from that of other males of the
mammalian class-and, in all of that
class, though considerable of a curiosi-
ty, it is by no means uncommon to find
particular males who can suckle their
young. Many men have been known
who could do it, and many are on rec
ord who have done it. So, why not a
bull?
But the peculiar performance of this
particular bull suggests a far graver
question, and one that should command
the immediate attention of the present
Congress as soon as it shall reasemble.
A body which was great enough to pass
the Oleomargarine bill should be great
enough to tackle at the outset the new
danger here presented. Suppose the
milk-giving faculty of this bull is de-
veloped by cultivation, and suppose, by
the processes of artificial selection and
assisted heredity, it is transmitted to his
progeny,is it not clear that we are then
in danger of new deluge of bull butter.
tits respectfully but earnestly submit
ted to the Hon. Warner Miller, of the
United States Senate, that this bull
ought to have a United -States-Internal-
Revenue-oleomargarine stamp placed
upon his respective orifices.

Political History In the Schools.

There is vigorous movement in the
East to secure the teaching of political
history in the high schools and acade.
mics, but it is movement that would
better be stopped before it is begun.
The insuperable obstacle in the way is
the fact that our political history
covers so short period, and that the
remotest oft Is so recent that there
can be nothing like common agree.
ment as to what it is. There is not q
single character in our National record
concerning whom the parents of the
children in any one school hold any
thing like common opinion. The
name of Washington will at once occur
to many as an exception, and it GER
tainly comes nearest to that, but does
not quite attain to it. Washington
was much more monarchical in his
views than many of the ablest men of
his time, and there are abundant read
ers who denounce him for it. You shall
find plenty to attack his craftsmanship
and his generalship, and to accuse him
of little meannesses, smuggling for his
private use included.
And now should we reconcile the
conflicting views of the especial ad-
mirers of such opposing characters as
Hamilton and Jefferson, Calhoun and
Webster, Douglas and Lincoln. Was
COnkling right or was Blaine, or were
both wrong? Was the legal tender
issue good thing, and is war taxation
in time of peace a blessing to labor?
Was johnson right or wrong in his
fight with the Senate; and is Mr.. Hal
stead's view of Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation the correct one? Was
General Grant stupid drunkard and
General Sherman crazy; and was Hayes
right or wrong in his veto of the Silver
bill? Was the Electoral Commission
q square deal, ," or was Tilden defraud-
ed of the Presidency; and is James G.
Blaine great and pure statesman or
railroad jobber?
These are but tithe of the questions
that would lead to pandemonium In
our schools if their determination were
ever attempted by political history
to be there taught; and yet it would be
a mere mockery of history if it did not
consider and decide upon them. In
short, the scheme is wholly impractical
BILE. American children must go on,
in the future as in the past, getting
their views of political history from
their fathers, subject to addition and
revision through the study and expert
ence of after rlife.-EnQuirer.

The Goose Bone.

The goose bone may be called "Ken-
tucky's weather prophet In many
farm houses it will be found hanging
in the hall and old men who have had
it for years say that the genuine bone
never fails. The real bone can only be
obtained from a goose hatched out in
the spring-the month of May is said to
be the best. The goose must not be
killed until Indian summer has passed
away. After cooking remove the breast
bone, scrape it clean and then wash it
in warm water and let dry for day or
two.
When it has thus been prepared hold
up to the sun, or in front of a lamp in
a dark room is better. and the disolora-
ton may be easily deciphered. and to
one who knows the bone, reading is as
plain as book. A bone shown to re-
porter was taken from a goose hatched
out in May. A row of dots found around
the keel of the bone indicates the tenn
perature, and the darker the spots the
colder will be the weather. Some light
cloudy discolorations that spread out
over the keel of the bone are indications
offalling weather, and the darker these
ulSCOldTdIluliS IIlc IllOI0 Idlu VI SuOW
there will be.
The marks dividing the bone indicate
the three winter months, December
commencing at the front. A careful
reading of the bone indicates much
more regular weather than was had last
year, and not so severe. There will not
be many days during which running
water will freeze. The coolest weather
will occur during the first half of JAN
uary, and along between the 7th and
10Th there will be severe days of freez'
ing. 1t will be the severest part of the
whole season.
Near the point of the bone the dis
coloration is little heavy, thus show
ing that the first day ofwinter will give
proof of the seasons change. This will
be followed by rising temperate and
falling weather for Christmas. January
will be ushered in cold, and the cold
will strengthen as the days lengthen,
the coolest day of winter falling about
the 9th of the month. This severe
weather will be brief, followed by ris.
ing temperature and heavy thaws, and
the last half of the month will see
many rains and SHOWS. During Feb
ruary there will not be any very cold
weather, but it will be rather disa'
greeable month, with snow and rain
A few cold days is all that the month
will contribute to winter. An early
and decided thaw is among the prom
ises of the bone. The February thaW
will overflow the mountain streams
and disastrous floods may be looked for
Although the winter will be what il
known as an open season, a good whea
year.

THE injustice of the high protective
tariff system findsa very apt illustra-
ton in the action of the syndicate of
coal barons who met in New York City
q few days ago and entered into an
agreement to raise the price of anthra-
cite coal $l.O0 per ton and to restrict its
production. Here vast monopoly that
controls the coal fields of Pennsylvania
and which is protected by q tariff duty
offs cents per ton on coal takes one
dollar from every family in the United
States that buysa ton of coal. Could
such a monopoly exist if the tariff was
reduced so low as to give foreign coal
producers change to compete? Does
such monopoly benefit labor? This
same syndicate that has raised the price
of coal 81 per ton also agreed to restrict
the production of coal, thus, at the be-
ginning of winter, throwing thousands
of miners out of employment. So
grievously wrong has been the conduct
of the managers of this protected mono
poly, that the Governor of Pennsylania
has directed the Attorney General Of
the State to bring suit to annul the
characters for the corporations that
thus seek to rob the people. And, let il
be borne in mind, that Boothman, the
Republican candidate for Congress in
this District, stands pledged to this kind
of tariff robbery.

the first coin made in this country, be-

gress in 1885, before the United States
government existed, and was confirmed
by the United States government five
years later, in 1870. The copper cent
was established afterwards. Its name,
(centum, hundredth,) signifies that it
was the one-hundredth part of dollar.
The silver dollar, therefore, is always
one hundred cents and cannot be either
less or more. The gold dollar was not

spout washed, $4,000, creek washed,
642, ,424, and secured, 267, $50. In thirty
six districts the clip was reported as
good and sound, in four districts poor
and unsound, in three districts light
but sound, and in the remaining dis
tricts fairly sound butwanting in yoke.
