I~neXnenSiYe Pleasures

The comparatively cheap pleasures seem
TO be the best, not only for this Christmas,
but in life generally. There is so little that
the very rich can buy for themselves
that need stir envy in people who are just
comfortably off. Warmth is such a de-
lghtful thing in winter, but you and 1
can get as much as We want Of IL. and a
millionaire can nave no more. And then
there are so many cheap ordinary things
10 eat that are just as good as, or better
than, the expensive thirgs. An epicure
who lives somewhere in the western
part of this State was saying the other
day that. having a particular dinner in
view, he sent 10 a Judicious man In New
York for the best fish that the market
offered. They sent him a fresh cod, and
he admitted that no fish could be better.
and moralized (those are his remarks
above on the comparative c~heapness of
the ieshly qualifications that were really
best, such as potatoes and chickens and
fresh air, and tea and water (warm and
cold. and soap. and sleep. When one
considers how good a big five-cent sand
witch tastes when he is really hungry.
and what a poor thing a five-doiiar dinner
is when he is not. and how little difter-
ence there is between good wine and good
water when il has once passed ones gullet,
and how much Of that difference is In
favor Of the water. II really lends a IAN
gerous charm TO economy and simple
living. and makes one wonder that thrift
is not more catching, and that the delights
OF avarice should be so generally mOnop-
oliZed by the aged.
one OF the cases where a cheap article
is often at least as good IS a dear one
is in the matter of sons-in-law. How
often II happens that the plain cheap
s~on-in-law who exacts no bonus, and even
In some case contributes to his wife's
support, turns out In the end TO be really
more valuable and satisfactory than the
bankrupt loafer-prince who costs a million
or two at the start, and all that he can
lay his hands on afterwards!-From Har-
per's Weekly.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.

NEW YORK, Dec. I9.-The following is
the daily cotton letter Of Atwood, Violet
& Co. by private wire to c. W. Branch
e Co:
The opening prices here. and the course
OF the market. Notwithstanding the de-
cline of Liverpool of 3 10 4 points, ana
the very large movement OF GU,OOO bales,
against 5000 bales last year, have de-
Veloped that there is "a great deal Of
strength, partly because of bears being
afraid to sell further, while the long
interest, when IS now in strong hands,
has still further added 20 their holdings.
The conclusion Is reached that a large
amount Of contracts are being bought
here and nave been bought for the past
ten days, 10y those who take the invest
ment view Of II just as We have been
recommending for the past two weeks.
n whether Bradstreets has found
In his replies enough for a 100000 bales
or a $4,000 bales crop. the impression
Is that cotton has reached a point beyond
which IL is not safe TO follow II, below
present prices. The market has been de-
pressed by a liquidation OF the long in
terest, owing to heavy receipts discour-
aging many who still believe. as We do,
IN q crop OF moderate proportions. and
then again the absence of premiums
prevents the carrying OF a great deal Of
cotton on contracts, thus leaving IL un-
protected and forcing sale OF a great
deal OF Il that otherwise would have been
taken care of In this way, as In former
years. and this applies 10 Liverpool as
We'll as here. Advices are general from
the interior that little or no cotton is
moving this week, and we are led TO
believe next week will be far different
from this, so far as the general movement
Is concerned. even with a crop or 1900
100 bales, people look upon cotton as
cheap. as the whole gpInning world is be-
hind Il. and it Is the opinion OF a large
number thinking people that spinners
would be buying heavily IL II was not
for the constant decline In prices, but as
soon as this pressure Is removed they
will be hunting after the low offers they
missed ayaiiing themselves of this week,

NOTES FOR DAIRYMEN.

SUPPLY fresh pasture for milk cows
before they begin to fall off in milk.
PAYING for milk by the butter fat
test puts premium on good cows and
careful breeding.
DAIRY cows must be we'll fed. They
work hard IN manufacturing milk and
cannot give the best results il they must
work all day to get grass enough.
IT is reported that the "black pepsin"
swindlers still find unposted parties
and relieve them of their money. They
belong to the class who do not attend
farmers institutes and who do not be-
lieve in "boolk farming" anyway
CHEEsEMAKERs cannot make good
cheese from tainted and poorly-kept
milk. Ii you furnish them such milk,
do not expect q high price for your
cheese 1t is shame and great
waste to handle good milk in such q
way.
SCALDING the utensils and giving
them sun baths are very importan,
matters in the dairy. The little bac'
terra germs which cause decomposition
in milk and other substances propagate
very rapidly in warm weather, and the
seams and Corners of cans must be KEEP

The first impulse of some men when
they stub their toes against a stump is
to turn and kick it. The bears of India,
when wounded, always bite something
Three illustrations of this prompting
of physical irritation are given in Gen.
Hamilton's sport in Southern India"
He shot at an old she-bear, and the ball
struck her in the fore leg. Instantly
she seized the leg between her jaws
and bit it fiercely. AT another time
the general fred at bear with a cub.
On receiving the shot the bear, with a
ferocious roar, rushed upon the cub,
cuffed and bit it, while the little one
kept screaming, as if to say: 81 didn't
do it, ma" Once the general saw two
bears, a male and female, feeding on
the slope of a long hill. He went
around the hill to get above them, and
on looking over the crest saw the male
bear not forty yards off. He fred and
apparently wounded it. The animal
jumped into the air, bit the wound and
then rushed furiously at his compan-
ion. She, like spirited female, re-
sented the assault. The two clinched,
rolled over and over, tumbled about,
and then bolted into the forest.

Gen. Grant himself had scarcely set
tied to rest when the cry rang through
the land that Grant must go to Rich
mond or all would be lost. All the
officers of his staff and his family also
thought it hardly fair; but he, soldier
like, without murmur and with as
little delay as possible, prepared for the
great movement, and telegraphs
flashed over the country that Grant
was on the way to take command of the
Army of the Potomac. Who that
loved their country did not breathe
easier and sleep better, and who that
did not but carried heavy heart? In
him was all our hope. Who like him.

GRANTS HEART.

Ono of the Occasions When He Showed
Ills Humanity.
After Gen. Grant had conquered
Viclsburg, weary and worn with
fatigue of body and mind, he fixed him
self in tolerably comfortable quarters
and prepared to enjoy the rest and quiet
he so much needed and had SO richly
earned. Not forgetting his tired and
faithful army, he issued an order fur
loughing for thirty days a certain
number of men daily from each regi-
ment, until all had had an opportunity
to visit their homes.
How the weary were refreshed; how
the disheartened took fresh courage;
how the sick toiled to feel well-what
a scene. Everything that was availa-
BILE ss material to write upon was
pressed into service. The whole army
were writing the joyful news home
that they were coming, they did not
know exactly when, but when their
turns came. Go where you would there

"Home!"

men to be taken up the river and
brought down again. Thirty, forty,
fifty and even sixty dollars was the fare
to be charged from Vicksburg to Cairo.
So far as possible the boats were lined
along the levee; many boats had the
prices posted on the pilot-houses to pre-
vent the clerks from being constantly
annoyed by the momentous questions:
"How much?"
What prospect for the poor soldiers
who swarmed the levee all ready and
waiting. They had periled life and
health for thirteen dollars per month
to open the same river, and now it
would take the greater part of what
they had earned to pass up that same
stream, pass few days with loved
friends and return to duty.
With fearful eyes and breaking hearts
hundreds turned their faces towards
camp, preferring to send the little
money they had to the needy ones at
home and deny themselves their great.
