SaGaclOus Monster.

Arthur Clay sends to the London
Spectator the following instance of the
sagacity of the elephant. It was told
me, ne says, by Mr.. Quay-at the time
non-commissioned officer in the First
Battalion of the Sixteenth Rifles, but
now one of her Msjesty's yoemen of the
guard. In 1858 his regiment was
marching from Peshawur to Kopulvie,
and was accompanied by train of ele-
plants. It was the duty of the mahout
in charge of each elephant to prepare
twenty chupatties or fiat cakes made
of coarse -four, for his charge. When
the twenty chupatties were ready they
were placed before the elephant, who,
during the process of counting. never
attempted to touch one of them until
the full number was completed. On
the occasion related by Mr.. Quay one
of the elephants had seized the oppor-
tunity of his mahout's attention being
distracted for moment to steal and
swallow one of the chupatties. When
the .mahout, having finished the pre-
paration, began to count them out he
of course discovered the theft and pre-
sented his charge with nineteen in
place of the usual number. The ele.
plant instantly appreciated the fact
of there being one less than he had a
right to expect, and refused to touch
them, expressing his indignation by
loud trumpetings. This brought the
conductor of the elephant line
with whom Mr.. Quay had been in
conversational on the scene. Having
heard the explanation Of. the mahout.
the conductor decided that the mahout
was in fault for not keeping . better
lookout, and ordered him to provide
the twentieth cake 1t his own cost.
When this was prepared and added te
the pile the elephant at once accepted
and ate them.

A MERCIFUL sTANCHION.

It is hung at the top and bottom on a
short chain, slack enough to give several
inches play in any direction, allowing
the COW to rise in an easy and natural
manner. 1t gives her as much freedom
and comfort as possible and keeps her in
place, is strong, and neat in appearance.
The width of the stall will depend
on the cattle; 81 feet is, perhaps, a
good average width; Jerseys and the
smaller breeds may do with less, while
the Short-horns and Holsteins may need
more. The same is the case with regard
to the floor; taking AZ feet as the aver
age length, make the gutter inches
deep and IA inches wide, then the ma
nure will not cause trouble. Managers
should be 16 inches wide at the bottom,
2 feet at the top and feet deep, with a
door in front, so that they can be easily

How Richmond was surrendersd.


When the van of the Northern army,
under the command of Col. Stephens,
came IN sight, we (the Richmond City
Coancil), under a flag of truce, met
them, when Mr.. Mayo then and there
surrendered the city IN proper form.
We then entered our carriages. and, pre-
coded by portion of the enemy's cav
AIRY, returned to the city. The officer
IN command went direct to the Capitol,
where, after hosting the United States
nag and establishing his headquarters
he at once turned his earnest endeavors
to bring order out of chaos and protect
both persons and property. The con-
duct both of the officers and soldiers IN
their attempts to stop the spread
of the fire and extinguish the
flames is deserving of all praise. The
aphorism, "One spark of nature makes
kindred of us al, was never more fully
exemplified than on that day, when ]
saw the elite white citizen of the day,
and the recent negro slave, and the
Yankee officer and soldier, wing with
each other to best protect and subserve
tho public interest. If the flames were
not stopped, It was no fault of the peo-
pie or soldiery, but because the deyou.-
ing element had got beyond control

Dairy Notes.

WE shall never have good sweet butter
as long as the pastures in summer are
full of weeds.
If the butter will not come try adding
warm water, with little salt to the
cream. 1t is highly recommended.
WHEN sawdust can be had would you
advise its use for bedding cows? asks a
correspondent. Yes, it makes good bed
ding.
WHILE milk and butter, of course. take
something from the soil, we need not
worry about the matter. Dairying will
never ruin the soil.
The oleomargarine people are all the
time trying to force their compound down
the threats of the people. Let us give
them more and sharper laws upon the
subject.
POTATOES are recommended for feed.
ing cows for four or five weeks before
calving, as preventive of milk fever.
Any sort of feeding that will prevent
costiveness is good.
AN exchange says that not one pur.
chaser in ten is satisfied with the cheese
he buys. Well, if that is true, the cheese
market must necessarily be in a deplor-
able condition, and cheese makers should
seriously inquire into the cause.
Now LET US go for our legislators to
induce them to pass q bill that will com
pei the public eating-houses to give
notice to the public that they serve cleo
margarine, If they do it. The sale Of
oleomargarine is increasing, and the
chief and almost only cause Of it is that
hundreds of hotels. restaurants, and
boarding houses defraud their customer:
by serving the stuff On their tables.
WE see it stated that putting kerosene
in the churn, in making kerosene emul
sion, does not improve the churn fol
making butter afterwards. We have not
the slightest idea that there is mar
who is so much of an idiot that he would
attempt to use the same churn for bott
purposes.

It Is my impression that farm with
out boy would soon come to grief.
What a boy does is the life of farm. He
is the factotum, always in demand, and
always expected to do q thousand and
one things that nobody else will do.
Upon him falls all the odds and ends,
the most difficult things. After every
body is through he is to finish up. His
work Is like q woman's-perpetually
waiting on others. Everybody knows
how much easier it is to cook good
dinner than to wash the dishes after
ward.
Consider what boy on farm Is re-
ouired to do-things that must be done,
or life would actually stop. 1t is UNDER

pin which holds the handles together.
The irons, S 5, are 4 by inch, or
heavier if desired. They are secured to
a bolt with hand setting nut. When a

nut is taken off, the irons sprung off the

Ones grocer, if one be a regular Gus

would be to go from house to house, de-

One woman, whom we know, sells yeast
10 her neighbors. 1t could also be sold
by the grocer, If it were known to be al

that factory-made yeast is often poor.
Another lady adds several dollars to
her income by selling the soft cheese
made from thick. sour milk. She pre-
pares it ready for the table, and takes 1t
to her grocer by the quantity, and he
sells it by the pound, charging her
small commission.
We do not remember how it retails, but
we do know that we have gladly paid
our milkman five cents pound for dry

tests of mans gameness. One might
think of that long resistance against such
a giant as Sullivan, and then be inclined
to say that matter of ten rounds with
gloves against Slavin would be hardly suf-
ficient to bring decisive result. But this
involves a mistake. Anybody who sup
poses that there is more damage done with
bare knuckles under the prize ring rules
than with gloves underQueensberry rules as
very much mistaken. A man can hit harder
blows and do a great deal more execution
in one-uuarter of the time with the gloved
hand than with the bare hand.
The glove gives not only protection to
the hand, but it gives purchase and sup
port 10 the hands and forearm. Under
Queensberry rules man must stand up
three minutes TO fight, and must get up in
ten seconds when he is Knocked down. He
must do il without assistance, but under
prize-ring rules the seconds can pick their
man up carry him TO his corner and nurse
him. He may be really knocked out, but
in the thirty seconds allowed-which is
easily stretched by little clever work of
his handlers-he may be brought back to
full consciousness and sent to the scratch
a fresher man than before. There is no
doubt that all these advantages helped
Kilrain prolong his battle with Sullivan.
Against Slayin he is left more to his own
resources. Al Richburg, kilrain got half
n dozen knock-down blows, and two or
three of them dazed him so completely
that he would never have gotten on his
feet again in the ten seconds allowed
by Queensberry rules. Especially is this
true of that lett-hahder in the nose in the
thirty-seventh round, think, and the
