is lobelia, which is eaten by the ami
mails. Lobelia after it has so far ma
tured as to produce seed, will invari-
ably produce milk sickness after it is
eaten.
There is proper limit to the ex-
ercise of cow. II the pasture is so
everlastingly poor that a COW must
travel over ten acres to get enough to
keep her alive. she is getting too much
exercise.

knows says that corn fodder in the silo

while there is thirty per cent waste
in feeding the fodder in the old style.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Dairy Require. Attention.

1t might as well be understood first
as last that butter-making can not be
made profitable unless there is suf-
ficient time given to it, and unless the
work is done at the proper time. 1t
must now be pretty well understood
that profitable butter-making means a
good article of butter. But that can
not be made unless every thing is done
properly and promptly. If. as writer
of note remarks, a woman has the
care of family OF children. does the
cooking. mending. sweeping and thou
sand things that devolve upon a moth
er. she can not be a good dairy maid,
or IL she is, it is more than one woman
ought to be. As rule people are not
rapid enough in execution to greatly
multiply duties. Once in great
while we find a man or woman who
can do the work OF half dozen peo-
pie, and seem to do it easily. But such
people are the exceptions
1t is not wise, therefore, to expect
that the wife with all her other duties
to perform. can give attention to much
of dairy, and, therefore. at the very
beginning enough help should be pro-
vided. There is great deal of hard
work in the dairy. and it must be done
at Just such time. It is mistake to
suppose that dairying is easy. In fact
it is mistake to suppose that any
work or occupation is easy. il it is hon
est.
We must devote close attention to
any business If we expect to make it
successful. The dairy particularly re-
quires close attention and steady work.
The cows must be MIXED and ought
to be MIXED regularly and care
fully; and we can not be too
particular to see that the help
we employ attend to these things.
There is so much careles sness upon
the part of some mixers, as shown in
their roughness toward the COW, or
their neglect to milk thoroughly, that
in any considerable herd some mixers
will do more damage in a season than
their wages will amount to. The
process of milking. therefore, should
be carefully overseen by the owner.
In walking through city streets we al
ways see a foreman-a boss OF street
gangs of men. This foreman watches
closely the work Of the men. and yet
If they did not sweep clean or other
wise neglect their duty, no irreparable
damage could be done. The dairymen
frequently give no attention to the mat
ter OF milking their cows by the help,
and if damage is done there it can
not be repaired. The mixer should
be clearly person. Since milking
has been entrusted SO largely to men,
there is not always that degree Of
cleanliness that is absolutely necessary
in well-conducted dairy, and the lack
often gives rise to the wish for the re-
turn of the neat dairy maid. who was
not always the sole creation OF the
poets. After the milking comes the
care of the milk. If the mixer has
mixed with the milk dirt of various
descriptions the milk is spoiled; no
after-care, however great. can restore
it to prime excellence. The dirt may
be got out, perhaps. but the straining
can not remove the odors that may
have come from the dirt-Western

Treatment OF Natives Under Emin
Pasha.

Treatment OF Natives Under Emin
Pasha.
While we may naturally regret that
Emin Pasha did not possess that influ-
ence over his troops which would have
commanded their perfect obedience, con-
fidence and trust, and made them pliable
to the laws and customs of civilization.
and compelled them to respect natives
as feIlow-subjectS, to be guardians of
which there can be no civilizaton-many
will think that as the Governor was un-
able to do this it is as well that events
took the turn they did. The natives of
Africa cannot be taught that there are
blessings in civilization If they are per-
mitted to be oppressed and to be treated as
unworthy of the treatment due to human
beings, to be deSpoiied and enSlaVed at Will
by licentous sodiery.
The habit of regarding the aborignes as
nothing better than Pagan abed, or slaves,
dates from Ibrahim PaSha, and must be
utterly suppressed before any semblance
of civilization can be seen outside the
military settlement. When every grain
of corn, and every fowl, goat, sheep, and
cow which is necessary for the troops, is
paid for in sterling money. or its equiya-
lent in necessary goods, then civilization
will become irresistible in its influence,
and the Gospel even may be introduced !;
but without impartial justice both are i'm
possible - certainly never possible when
preceded and accompanied by spoliation,
which / fear was too general a custom in
the Soudan.
Those who have some regard for right
eous justice may find some comfort in the
reflection that until civilization in its
true and real form be introduced into
Eauatoria, the aborigines will now have
some peace and rest; and that whatever
aspects its semblance bore-except n few
orange and lime trees-can be replaced
within a month, under higher, better and
more enduring auspices.-From THE Emn
Pasha Relief Expedition" by Henry NJ.

Enthusiastic Gathering of Republicans
at the Mission.
The hall Of the Philomel Club, 1868 Mis-
sion street. was well filed Thursday even
ing with enthusiastic Republicans. The
meeting was called to order by President
d. P. Duncan, who complimented the men,
bers for their jealous endeavors in the in
terest Of the club and said that the large
assemblage showed that their work had not
been in vain. He further remarked that it
was with feeling Of qualification that he
was able to announce that the little dissat-
.isfaction which at one time was said to ex-
ist in the ranks of the Republican party
had been eliminated, which meant success
of the Republican ticket at the approach
ing election.
He was, interrupted by, the entrance Of
the Washington Republican Club, $50
strong, headed By Colonel d. Ryan and Sen
ator Banks. They were greeted with
cheers of welcome. President Duncan eX-
tended to them a hearty reception, and in
yited them to the fullest Inequalities of the
club.
Senator Banks, Chairman of the club,
thanked the Philomels for their kind greet
ings, and briefly addressed those present on
the issues of the day.

refreshments were served, there were

PHILIP KENNEDY & co.
One of the Prominent Dry G Gods Houses
of San Francisco.

One of the Prominent Dry G Gods Houses
of San Francisco.
One of the most prominent and at the
same time most prosperous dry-goOds
houses in San Francisco is that of Philip
Kennedy & Co., at Nos. 9O1, 903 and 9O5
Market street. 1t owes its prominence and
prosperity TO the ability, integrity aud good
management on the part of the propTietors
The firm dates its history back to the six
ties. when the late Philip Kennedy in COM
pany with a gentleman named DrscolI
opened a store on Third street, near How
ard. By fair dealing, honest representa-
tons and courteous attention to those who
called, they obtained such large clientage
that they found their premises too con-
tTacted and were forced to move to more
cOmmudious quarters. Since the death of
Philip Kennedy the business has been en-
tireiy in the control of G. 2. Kennedy, his
nephew, and who for period of years pre-
vious and up to the time of his unce's
death constituted the company. The bust
ness OF the esta bllshment has been doubled
since he assumed control and ownership,
and the house now stands prominent in
the front ranks of the retail dry-goOds
trade. Their large and commOdious estab-
lishment on Market street, corner Of Fifth,
Is well known to every inhabitant of the
city, particularly the fair sex, TO whom the
name OF kennedy is very familiar cOgno-
men, and judging from the patronage they
bestow, the name is indeed very popular
one. Philip Kennedy 81 Co. carry very
heavy stock which for variety Of style and
quality Is second TO none on the Coast,
with material to work on and good dis
Greet buyers in Eastern and European
markets they are well prepared to meet
the demands of the trade in all seasons
with latest and newest novelties in text
ures and weayes. They employ a very
large corps of employees, number of whom
have been with the house for a long period,
varying from five TO fifteen years and in
some cases over twenty years. 1t has al
ways been the motto of the house to "Keep
good clerks" and when an empl9ye proves
faithful and capable he may dispel all fears
of being discharged so long as good conduct
and fidelity remain prominent attributes of
his or her duty. OF course. prosperous
house must show tact ard good manage
ment and such is to be found with this
house. The motto of the house has always
been Nothing SO successful as success"
When we take into consideration the fact
that Mir. c. p. Kennedy is still young in
years, 1t is gratifying to contemplate what
a grand future is in store for shis prominent
establishment. foreb0diug the possibility of
drawing comparison In after years, akin
to such names as Stewart, ArBOld's, Jordan,
Marsh and the many others who have ilu-
mined the dry-goods world. At all events,
