DUEL BETWEEN COWS.
a Series of Battles Which Ended in tn.
Death of One of the Rovines.

Series of Battles Which Ended in the
Death of One of the Bovines.
Two families living side by side in a
country village had each a COW. The
COWS grazed in different pastures. but
often came together in the highway
when going to and from pasture They
were on good terms, FOR they had been
acquainted several years.
One of the cows was sold, and new
one, younger COW, came to take her
place. When the young COW and the
cid cow of the other family met for the
first time, the younger attacked the
older. They locked horns several times
each trying to drive the other, but they
were SO evenly matched that no advance
was made by either.
AS the fighters became more enraged,
and as the younger COW had no buttons
on her horns, they were driven apart,
fearing that injury to one or both might
result. The owners OF the COWS re-
GREETED that the COWS could not flight
it out" for until one did conquer, the
battle would be resumed at every OBJ
portunity.
Several battles followed, always with
the same resalt-they must be separat-
ed, for they became more furious at
every onslaught. This state of things
was inconvenient. The owners were
not farmers, were away during the day,
and must depend on the children
to drive to pasture and drive home,
and there was no way to either
pasture except through the highway.
The COWS were driven in and out at diff
ferent times, but when they came to the
place OF battle, they fingered, threw up
the earth, and the children had difficulty
In driving theEa farther.
The owners had nearly reached the
conclusion that there 1nust be a change
OF COWS before peace was restored, when
1.-THE duel' occurred and settled the
matter. By misunderstanding on the
part of the drivers one day, the COWS
came together at the usual place.
AS they had not seen each other for
several weeks. and fingered less at the
former place of meeting, their enmity
might have diminished At all events
they were not ION guard" SO much as
they had been, and owing to this fact,
and to intervening roadside trees and
bushes, they did not see each other till
they were less than fifty va rds apart.
Evidently they saw each other at
nearly the same moment. for both start
ed into run, which increased as they
went on, and, heads down, they came to-
gether, head to head with crash, re-
port that was heard in both houses. The
older cow fell, and did not move again.
She was dead-knocked in the lead as
with butchers axe. The other was
nninjured. A. Stockwell, in Coun-

EMPRESS FREDERICK.

Her opinion OF Gustav Freytag's Little
Work on Her Late Husband.
The Empress Frederick has, according
to qthe Berlin papers, delivered her
opinion on Gustav Freytag's new little
work on her late husband. Her
Majesty has, in the first place, pointed
out certain errors, especially in relation
to herself. She said among other
things: Il was proud to be able to fol-
low the high fight Of his spirit to un-
derstand his plans, and to share in his
wishes. We were one in thinking and
feeling. The words, He ordered everv
thing according to her thoughts and
wishes, are decidedly incorrect. In i'm
portant questions the Emperor used to
ask my opinion. We exchanged views,
and he was glad to call me his
EGeheimrathin' (privy counciloress),
who was versed in every thing, but he
never was unhappy or dissatisfied be-
cause l was of another opinion than
him self"
The Empress also objected with some
indignation to the passage which says
that ''She had come to her husband
frOdm greater circumstances, richly
gifsed, and that he had inspired his
pure and simple soul with the feeling
that what had taken visual shape with
in him was her work" Her Majesty
said cit was he whose high-soaring
mind warmed me for all the ideals that
filled his heart. It was he who worked,
practically sowing in my heart those
seeds which had already grown in his to
the most glorious development. ALI
that has grown out of the harmless child
that he then took into his palace is his
work" On Freytag's certainly rather
curious remark that such domination
threatened to bring difficulties and con-
f1ict to the husband, the future ruler
of Prussia, Her Majesty sank into
deep reflection, and exclaimed:
''Such domination! 1 brought him
difficulties and conflicts? When
and where? Did I ever try to sub
ordinate his will to mine? The EN-
peror was not a man to yield to the do
minion of his wife, even if-but must /
read all that is written?" She pushed
the book aside and, stepping into a win
dow recess, gazed long and mournfully
at Emperor Frederick's portrait hanging
there. and then left the room, unable to
speak further.
1t is said that the Empress has pre-
fixed the following motto from Schillers
maid OF Orleans" to her copy of Frey
tags "Reminiscences" 1.-THE world loves
to blacken what is radiant, and to drag
the eminent down into the dust. / do
not mourn, There are still noble hearts

The Ellsworth American puts it
mildly when it says tIat the resident
minister at Isle au Haat is very per-
severlng." On recent Sunday evening
he held service with only himself and
sexton present.

during the Garfield campaign, when he
had concluded his labors in Ohio, and
was on his way to Wisconsin. But I
am going to give you the story, as near
as 1 can remember, in his own lam
guage, and only regret that can not re-
produce his inimitable tone and gest-
ure. I asked if he had seen Garfield
lately.

drawl of his, Il saw Garfield the other
day, and he did not want me to leave
Ohio, but told him / had to. I was
afraid to stay in the COMPOUNDED State

''He asked me how that was, and I
told him that when left home l bought
of my friend BOIL new hat
''Then / made speech at Akron, and
when got through with my talk my
good Detroit hat was gone, and in it's
place was left this internal old Ohio hat
Showing, with an inimitable grimace,
a hat that had seen better days..
''Then | went to a place they call
Tiffin to make a talk. I had a gold
headed cane that had been presented to
me in 1857, and of which l thought a
great deal. l laid it down when began
to speak, and when 1 got through the
cane was gone.
''Then went to Cleveland to make a
talk. Now Red Ribbon Reynolds had
been there some time before, and had
met with great success, and when I
looked down on my audience it seemed
as though almost every man had bit
of red ribbon in his buttonhole.
81 thought it would be good idea to
kind O touch upon it in my speech, and
was figuring the thing over in my mind
when it came time for me to begin.
just as | got on my feet and put my
notes on the table by my side some fool
opened the window at the back of the
stage, and some of my notes fluttered
down among the audience.
81 was annoyed at this, and took
something from my pocket to weigh
down the pages of notes which were left
when | was aware that something had
created a sensation among the audi
ence. There was shifting around,
a good deal of smiling, and some sub
dued Snickering. For moment
thought something was wrong with my
clothes, but | soon ascertained that
every thing was as right as usual, but
the sensation seemed to increase, and it
bothered me.
Sat last | glanced down at my notes,
and to my horror discovered that when |
supposed | had used my jack-knife for a
paper-weight | had really taken my
corkscrew for that purpose, and there it
lay in full view of that audience of red
ribboned men.

Remarkable Nerve.

The early history of America is full of
instances of men having great nerve. But
we are rapidly becoming the most nervous
people on earth. The recent increase of
insanity, epileptic fits, headache, back
ache, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, dyspepsia, futtering of the heart
etc, points to an early decay of the race
unless this tendency is checked. Nothing
will cure these diseases like Dr. Miles

THE SULTAN'S POSITION.

Decidedly Unsafe.
His Majesty, the ruler, leads by no
means happy life, notwithstanding his
income of $4,000, 900 year, and that he
has his wives by the score. His prede-
cessors lived in a great palace on the
banks Of the Golden Horn, or rather of
the Bosphorus at the point where the
Horn commences. In front of this pal
ace stands the yacht of the Sultan, and
there is usually gunboat or two sta
toned near by to guard it. The las t
Sultan woke one morning to find the
guns of these ships sighted on the pal
ace, and set of Turkish rebels de-
manded his surrender. The present
Sultan has palace away back on the
hills. The grounds which surround it
certain many acres, and there are watch
towers built here and there among
them In these guards are stationed,
who keep the landscape ever before
their eyes. and who would at the least
hestils demonstration inform His Ma
jesty. He has thousands of soldiers con-
neetea with his own body-guard, but he
trusts very few, and like one of the
former Sa2tans, he places implicit con-
fdenae .only in his mother. He has had
a nupsber of revolutions during his
reign. and If you look over the history
