COlOrs Of Cattle.

By knowing their colors the
popular improved breeds of cattle
can usually be readily distinguish
ed. For example, the Dutch cat
tie ( Fl olsteins) are black and white;
though neither all black nor all
white; but either color may pre-
dominate, and white is pure white
and the black puro black. The
Jerseys are usually fawn Or light
grizzled brown, generally carry
ing some white, but not always.
The Herefords are light red, with
white face, legs, tail, sometimes
the belly, and often the deck and
portion of the baIk lined white.
The shorthorns vary more than
any other breed, but whether red,
roam or white, or a combination of
these colors, they have no others.

GxN. BRAGG, recently confirmed as
minister to Mexico, has barely had
time to reach the capital of the
greasers before the report comes
back that he will resign and run for
congress again from Wisconsin. The
reason given for his intended resig-
nation is that the salary is too small.
He should have considered this be-
fore applying for the position.

HoN. JOHN IRELAND was a delegate
to the southwestern immigration
convention, and there was an unsuc-
cessful attempt by his friends to
make him chairman of it. Gov. Ire
land, we believe, once said some
thing about people elbowing one
into the sea, and it's funny
that he should have been in the con-
at all.
