Farragut and His Son.

While at o station on the lower
Mississippi Admiral Farraaut gave
orders for the crews Of the gunboats
to get their fresh meat from the coun-
try. One day boat from the Tai
lahatchie landed and the men went
ashore and shot q fine steer, dressed
it and brought it abroad. Admiral
Farragut and his staff were then max
ing the regular tour OF inspection and
were on board his vessel, anchored
near by. Capt. Linnekin sent him q
quarter of this beef, and received q
very cordial acknowledgment in re-
turn. 1t may not be out OF place here
to relate the following anecdote of the
bluff old admiral, which Capt. Lime.
kin gives as follows: "Loyal Farra-
gut was on the deck OF his fathers YES.
sci during an engagement, and the
shot and shell were flying around
pretty thick. Loyal would duck his
head when he heard the shells coming,
while his father paced tho deck calm
and erect. By and by the admiral
turned to the boy and said, Stand
up, sonny, you can't dodge God al.

Tho Doy or the Farm.

We we're struck with the truth Of
the observations OF Charles Dudley
Warner, when he said: II Is my i'm.
preston that a farm without q boy
would very soon come to grief. What
a boy does is the life of tho farm. He
is the factotum. always in de-
mand, and always expected to
do the thousand and one things that
nobody else will do. Upon him fall
the odds and ends, the most difficult
things. After everybody else is through
he is to finish up. His work is like .
woman's-perpetually waiting on 9th
ers. Everybody knows how much
easier it sto cook q good dinner than
to wash the dishes afterwards.
Consider what q boy on o farm Is
required to do-things that must be
done, or life would actually stop. It
is understood, in the first place, that
he IS to do all the errands, to 60 to
the store. to the post-otfice and
to carry all sorts of messaC.
es. II he had as many legs as
the centipede they would tire before
night. He is the one who spreads the
grass as the men cut it; he slows it
away in the barn; he rides the he rse
tocultivate the corn up and Down the
hot, weary rows; he picks up the po-
tatoes when they are dug; he brings
wood and water and splits kindling;
hegets up the horse and turns out
tie horse. Whether he is in the house
or out of the house, there is always
something to do.
Just before school, in the winter, he
shovels paths; in the summer he turns
the grindstone. Aud yet, with his
mind full of schemes of what he
would like to do, and his hands full of
occupation, he is an idle boy who has
nothing to busy himself with but
schools and chores. He would gladly
do all the work il somebody else
would do all the chores, he thinks;
and yet, I doubt il any boy ever
amounted to anything in the world,
or was OF much use rs a man, who
did not enjoy the advantages OF q
liberal education in the way ofchores.

Tanning Lions With ELECTRICITY,

esseAA4AA6
The latest application of electricity is
an invention mado in tho interests OF
lion tanners which consists of M ap-
paratus of great power, shaped like o
stick, about three feet and o half in
length. NJ. Rauspach, the inventor, is o
lion tanner himself, who has been 20
good deal worried" during o long and
successful professional career. He l,as
already experimental with it upon the
denizens of tho cages in his managcrie,
and relates the different effects upon
the brutes. Three of his lions receiv.
ing the shock Immediately showed signs
of the greatest terror. They were seized
with trembling and growled it,
fully. The tiger was more
quickly subdued, became Supplied, and
crouched in corner of the cage.
Bruin was more refractory to electrici-
ty, which seemed scarcely to effect him.
He would growl and show his teeth, aud
was subdued after repeated discharges.
The most astonishing effects, how
ever, were perceptible in the boa con-
strictor. On receiving tho discharge,
the specimen from Cayenne, nearly
twenty feet in length, became ut once
paralyzed, and remained motionless for
six hours afterward. When he recov-
cred, he showed signs of numbness for
three whole days. Finally, tho cle-
plant, on being electrified by o touch
of the stick upon the tip of his trunk
set up series of wild cries, and be-
camo SO strange that the tanner feared
the brute would break his heavy iron
chain. NJ. Rauspach is said to intend
addressing q paper upon tho expert
ments to the academy of Sciences.-
Pail Mall Gazette.
Chinese Forethought.
Although we look down upon China
rom the lofty pinnacle of our civili-
tation, there are very many points in
which We may learn lessons from her.
Districts in China, as in India, are
liable, i'll seasons of unusual drought,
TO suffer from famine, and to prevent
the disastrous consequences Of such
events, the Government, in plentiful
seasons, stores up vast magazines OF
grain.
In late number of the Imperial
Gazette it is stated that the attention
of the Government has been drawn by
one of the ccnsors to the fact that the
storage of corn had been neglected in
several districts, and a stringent cdict
is published calling the attention of
governors OF provinces to the matter,
and ordering them to SEQ that the
magazines were kept FULL. A similar
course i'll India would do away with
the possibility of the terrible calamities
which, from time to time, devastato
whole provinces. The cost to the
Government would be but small, as
the wheat, in time of scarcity could be
sold at price at least equal to that
which it was purchased in years OF
plenty. We know with what success
a similar experiment was carried out
in Egypt some thousands of years ago,
and there can beno doubt that instead
of u loss the Government ofthat coun
try made a handsome profit by the
Observation-Disclosures Standard.

SHALL WE MEET AGAIN.

The following is one Of the most
brilliant paragraphs ever written by
the lamented George d. Prentice:
"The fiat Of death is memorable.
There is no appeal for relief from the
great law which dooms us to dust.
We flourish and fade as the leaves of
the forest, and the flowers that bloom
and wither in day, have no Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the earth
with his footsteps. Generations of
men will appear as the grass and the
multitude that throngs the world to-
day will disappear as footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the
great event Of death until the shadow
falls across their pathway, hiding
from their eyes the faces of loved
ones whose living smile was the sun
light Of their existence. Death is the
antagonist of life and the thought OF
the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts.
We do not want to go through the
dark valley, although the passage may
lead to paradise. We do not wan,
to go down into deep graves, even
with princes for bed-fellows. In the
beautiful drama OF sion" the hope
of immortality, SO eloquently uttered
by the death-devoted Greek, finds
deep response in every thoughtful
mind. When about to yield his life
q sacrifice to fate, his "Clemanthe
asks If they should meet again, Il
which he responds: ~ have asket
that dreadful question of the hill
that look eternal of the clear streams
that flow forever--of the stars among
whose fields Of azure my raised spir
Its have walked IN glory. All ar
dumb. But as | gaze upon thy livinl
face feel that there is something il
love that mantles through its beaut
! that cannot wholly perish. We shaI
meet again, Clemanthc."

The following account of lawsuit
commenced by w. ). Snodgrass, OF
La Grsnde, against Carey & Bro,
stock buyers of Cheyenne, is taken
from the last number of the Live
Stock Journal:
"A case which has excited general
interest among stockmen, was that OF
Snodgrass W. Carey & Bro, which
has occupied the past week in the
District Court and was settled by the
verdict Of the jury on Monday last.
1t seems that in the year 1881
Mr.. Snodgrass had some cattle on the
range, the number Of which he spe-
cially stated as 2,628, which he sold
to J. NJ. Carey & Bro. A contract
was drawn up in which the number
and several brands Of the cattle we're
infinitely described. And in June,
1881, the contract was signed BY J,
NJ. Carey & Bro, who agreed to take
the cattle at the stipulated price, $751;
600. As soon as possible las wa.
claimed by the defendants) the coun'
try was thoroughly worked and onl,
800 head were found Of the 2,63t
head bargained for. Up to this time
t47,400 Of the purchase price hae
been paid to Mr.. Snodgrass, leaving
balance due him of $4,000, which
upon Carey & Bro. refusing to pay
he entered suit for with interest.
"Ths evidence showed that onl,
800 head were found, and that thu
remainder were not in existence
that the surrounding country had beef
thoroughly worked as soon rs practi
cable; that the contract warranted al
IN existence ut the time of the sale
and had this number been in exist
ence a majority would surely hav
been found instead OF about one
ninth of the number.
"The Court held that the contrac
was warranty for the cattle, an
that if any Of the cattle were missinI
the warranty was broken. The de
PENDANT brought evidence to prov
the number found and the manner !
which the range was worked. Ate
much argument the case went to tn
jury, who, after dcliberating about a
hour, instead OF finding for the plair
tiff, returned q verdict for the ID
PENDANTS in the sum of $4,000.
at is very seldom the case wheI
one party brings suit against anoth'
for damages that verdict is returne
against him for nearly ten times Il
amount which he sued for. This g:
traordinary and unexpected result
, the case has impaired to it prom
nent aud interesting aspect"
