A Curious Fact About Nickel and Iron.
 In the interesting process which has lately come into vogue of plating iron with nickel by pressure between rolls at welding heat. the nickel is ingeni- ously recovered from the clippings and shearings of the plate, simply by the action of dilute sulphuric acid at a temperature of 55 degs., Cent. that is, the iron is dissolved, and the nickel is obtained in the form of thin sheets as it was melted upon the iron, the opera tion being complete when the evolution of hydrogen ceases; even fresh acid at the same temperature has practically no effect.
 But though the separation of the two metals is thus apparently perfectly made, curious fact is remarked, name ly, that when the residual nickel is chemically examined it is found to diff fer from it's original composition, the amount of iron present being notably increased. An example of this is noted in the case of a nickle containing origi- nally .09 per cent. of iron, 3 per cent. more being found when it was re- covered from the plate cuttings, and even by a long continued treatment with dilute acid the iron could not be sensibly reduced.
 This peculiar behavior points, it is believed, to the possibility of positive chemical combination taking place be- tween the metals, and that alloys of iron and nickel are produced in the process of welding, it being fact we'll known to chemists and metal lurgists that iron, with but even 8 small proportion of nickel, resists the action of acids much more than the pure metal New York Sun.

It UsuAlly Comes When There Are Not
 Enough Survivors to Take Sides.
 The Hatfield Mccoy feud may be over, and it may not. In all the cases ever known the feud died only when one of the families did the same. The Morton Cummins feud in Texas be- longed to this class
 The only man left of those two fam flies now is Dan Morton. Three years ago he was dealing faro in Fl Paso. His face is like leather, and he is about as tough. Fear is thing he does not know. He will probably die in his boots, because men of that sort are never pleasant to have about, and the community revolts occasionally.
 But, to go back. How the thing started doesn't matter especially. Prob ably in the same way that it ended-in . saloon quarrel This much is known: A Cummins shot a Morton; then the thing went on with deadly regularity until some six or seven had been killed on either side Finally there were only two Mortons and one Cummins left. The latter had just killed one of his opponents and he lit out for other parts and kept away for a good many months.
 One day Cummins came back. Everybody was offering bets that Dan Morton would shoot him on sight Cummins thought SO, too, but he had come back to try and settle the thing peaceably if he could, otherwise if 1t had to be. The two met in tho natural course of events, and both started to reach for their guns Cummins said his say, though, before tho other got the cinch on him.
 "Dan," he said, ''this things gone far enough, an I reckon we might as we'll quit There's only mo left, an you too. Now what's the use of 1t, anywayT .......
 It struck Dan sort of reasonably, aEd he put up his gun. ......
 Believe ye're about right" he said. With that the two went into the Red Front saloon, and in another ten min utes the two were batting each other on the back, and telling each other what a pity 1t was they hadn't known before what good fellows they both were. They kept feeling better and better
 "An' none of it need hev happened" said Morton, ''ef your Tom hadn't shot Morton" "He didn't do it." said Cummina He did" The denial was too much for Cum mins.
 "You lie" he missed, and then in a minute all the sworn friendship of the last half hour went to the four winds and forgetfulness, and those two closed in @ deadly struggle. Each was ! trying to reach for the others gun. They surged all over the saloon No | one interfered for while. Then the other Morton, who had not trusted the newly made reconciliation,
 and had kept close by, stepped up to
 the two, and putting his pistol to Cum mins' head. literally shot his head all
 to pieces And that ended the feud. The other | Morton was killed shortly afterward in an ordinary quarrel, and Dan Is now the only one left. Chicago Tribune.

 have been waiting for some years for some one else to twist the two gar lands that today twist, but, no one doing it, in the love of God and my country put now my hand to the work, and next spring about this time, if l am living and we'll, will twist two more garlands for northern and south ern graves, and every springtime, until some man or woman whom may have cheered a little in the struggle of this life, chall come out and put pansy or two on my own grave. But if the time should ever come when this land shall be given over to sectional rancor and demagogisn, and north and south or east and west shall forget what the good God built this nation for, and it shall halt on it's high career of right ousness and liberty and peace, and be- come the agent of tyranny and wrong and oppression, then let some young man whom have baptized in infancy at these altars go out to Greenwood and scoop up my dust and scatter it to the four winds of heaven, for I do not want to sleep, and will not sleep in a land accursed with sectionalism or op pression.
 And now hand over the two gar. lands, both of which are wet with many tears tears of widowhood and orphan age and childlessness, tears of suffering and tears of gratitude. and as the cere mony must be performed in symbol, there not being enough flowers to cover all the graves, take the one garland to the tomb of some northern soldier who may yesterday have been omitted in the distribution of the sacrament of flowers, and the other garland to the tomb of some southern soldier who may month ago have been omitted in the distribu tion of the sacrament of the flowers, and put both the wreaths gently down over the hearts that have ceased to beat.

QAlaWaIA JuatiQA.

The Jol RNAL recently called attention
to the existence Of the whipping post
In Delaware and TO the high esteem in
which it s held by the people OF that
State as Il preventative Of crime. A
special dispatch from Wilmington gives
an account of a recent administration of
this style Of punishment. 1t says:
The scene was sad one and Della
wares cruel law was never better carried
out. The culprits, Alexander Worten-
berg, William II. Bradshaw, Samuel
/uell and Andrew Jackson, coiored, and
BENJAMIN Cauld, James williams George
Cummings, Frank Groom, Andrew Reed
and George Hartman were each to receive
twenty lashes. They were placed in the
pillory and compelled to remain there
one hour each, much to the merriment
Of the crowd, who yelled themselves
hoarse at the.prisoners' funny pranks.
The whippings were indeed CHASTITY
sight. After standing Ia the plllory the
prisoners in turn were led to the post
like hogs 10 pen. They were stripped
to the waist and the chilly weather
made their punishment all the more
severe. Sheriff Simmons applied the
lash very heavily, and it cut the backs
Of most all the unfortunate ones. Their
shrieks and yells could be distinctly
heard outside the high jail wall, and
had saddening effect on the con-
demned ones inside the Jail, who will
receive due punishment on saturday
next. Andrew Jackson, one Of the col
ored convicts, was so terrified when his
turn came that he tainted away.
After gaining consciousness he was
led to the post and when five lashes were
heavily laid on his bare back be became
jail. The cat o. nine tails cut his flesh
deeply, and as be was carried away, the
blood from his wounds left its stains
upon the ground "
This appears CHASTITY and barbarous,
but it is pretty safe to say that the pris-
oners who underwent such punishment
will entertain nervous horror OF it all
the rest Of their lives. Professional
crooks are known to give the state of
Delaware wide berth. Still this Gus
tom Is relic of the Dark Ages and
should only be retained for wife heaters
and administered to them in stiff doses -
but in some place entirely removed from
the public gaze. There is no coward |
under the sun SO despicablY cowardly as
the one who will beat woman. The |
lash ia the proper and legitimate pun
ishment for such brutes

Water Tor Dairy Cows.

Water is an important article in the
diet of any kind Of stock. Ifpossible. it
is more so with dairy stock than with
any other kind. 1t constitutes not only
about 20 per cent. Of the weight Of the
entire body, but 81 per cent. of the milk
secretions. To supply so large an
amount Of water to the constantly vast
ing tissues and for the composition Of
milk, requires free access to it in abun-
dance. at all times. or at comparatively
short intervals. In the pasture it is not
enough that there is sluggish pond or a
ditch Of brackish water, nor that sup
ply may be had il the animals travel a
long distance to reach it. The quality
Of the water affects the COW and the
wholesomeness Of her milk secretions.
Many impurities will at once show their
presence, in the diseased condition OF
the COW and in the deteriorated quality
OF her flow Of milk. There are many
organic germs, that enter into the circu.
lation of the blood by bad water
and appear in the milk secretions,
ready to propagate their kind when
ever the conditions are favorable.
whoever partakes Of the milk
introduces these germs into his or
her system, where the conditions may
be favorable for their growth, and their
multiplication may produce disease Of
more or less positive form, often result
ing in severe il not fatal fevers. These
same germs have similar effect in the
system of a cow. So it is important, not
only that the supply Of water should be
abundant, but that it should be pure
that is. as pure as clean spring or brook
water, and fit for the use Of man as well
as Of beast. And the accessibility of
water is OF no small degree Of
Importance. Cattle will travel long
distances to get it before they
will die of thirst. but they will
often delay the journey and get
excessively thirsty before performing
it; in consequence, when they reach the
water they injure themselves by an
excessive draught, drinking until they
feel not only uncomfortable, but actu-
ally suffer for some time from slow
fever. This will always happen where
the water is not only at the back end of
the pasture, but at the back end of a
large piece of woods which contains
little for them to eat, and through which
and back again they must make a spec
ial journey every time they drink. II
the water is bad when they do reach it,
then the Injurious effects are doubly
aggravated.
