SOLICITOR GENERAL ALDR1CH.
He Has Made Arrangements to Resume HI
Private Practice.

He Has Made Arrangements to Resume His
Private Practice.
Since the last election Mr.. Charles H. Aldrich.
solicitor general Of the United States, has ar
ranged for the active resumption Of his law bust
ness in Chicago with his former partners,
Messrs. Payne. Defrees, Brace and Ritter. He
will tender his resignation to President ClHe-
land March 5, but will stand ready to perform
the duties Of his Office until his successor shall
have qualified. The present term Of the United
States Supreme Court will probably run until
the end Of June The solicitor general repre-
sents the interests of the government before
this tribunal. Several important cases prepared
by him for argument are set for hearing at
the present term after The 4th of March.
A consideration Of these facts may induce the
incoming President to delay making a change
in the Office until after the close Of the present
term. While this may be regarded as advisable
it is not at all certain that such a conclusion
will be reached. So far as Judge Aldrich is
personally concerned he prefers to be relieved
as soon as possible. on the general theory that
as his future depends upon his own exertions
the sooner he begins the better for him. In
order, however, not to embarrass the admins
tration he will continue to serve untfl the Presi
dent shall have chosen his successor.
1t Ia generally accepted that Judge John
Goode Of Va. will be appointed to the Office. He
was nominated to it by President Cleveland dur
ing his first term, but failed of confirmation be-
cause OF the bitter antagonism Of Senator Ma
hone OF the same state. Judge jerks of Penn
sylvania was subsequently nominated and con-
firmed. The Office ranks next below a cabinet
position and has a salary attachment Of $1,000

A Cow That Gives Black Mir.

The following most remarkable story is one
that is easily verified: Robert marlborough OF
Chillicothe, o., is the owner of the Eighth
Wonder of the Worlds COW that gives coal
black milk. The COW is a mixture Of jersey
and Durham and was raised on the Hansbor-
ough farm. as was also her mother and MANY
sisters. none of whom exhibited any peculiarity
in the color of their milk
..Mollie," rs this phenomenal creature is
called, has reared five or six calves all of which
have lived and grown fat on the black milk.
This milk produces a fair amount of cream.
This cream is a trihe lighter in color than the
milk itself, and. when churned. makes Kind of
butter that resembles thick mixture Of coal
tar. Paradoxical as it may seem. this butter Is
as palatable as though of golden yellow, and
Is said to be highly relished by the whole Hans
borough family.
At first when the peculiar color Of Mollie's
milk was discovered by the person to whom
was allotted the task of ''breaking the COW IN. /"
the family were afraid to use 1t in any way.
When they saw that the calf was waxing fat on
the liquid tar the younger members overcame
their preiudices and within few DAYS the milk
was being used just the same rs if il had been
OF the regulation color.
The owner Of this standing contradiction of
nature says that he has been sorely pestered
by the agents and proprietors of dime mu-
seums, but so far he has declined all offers
hoping that yet she will transmit her peculiar,
ity to some Of her progeny, which, up to this
time she has failed TO do.
Chemists of New York. Washington and Rich
mond have analyzed both the m ilk and the but
ter, but declare that they can detect nothing
that in any way accounts for it's sable color.
One or two OF these experts have ventured the
opinion that it ID caused by some unique color
ing pigment in the blood of the animal

Reflections on the Tendency of Clergymeu
to Hirsute Adjournment

Reflections on the Tendency of Clergymen
to Hirsute Adjournment.
From the London Telegraph.
An attack has been made in the columns of n
religious contemporary upon the growing ten
dency among clergymen TO adorn themselves
with boards. The author of the spirited on
siaught admits that be is a iaymaa. and he
treats the matter from a purely lay point Of
view.
Being present at a recent ordination. he de-
clnreS that the gentlemen presented for holy
orders could in nowise be accused Of being a
company of 'beardless boys; on the contrary
every hirsute facial adornment possible Was to
be found among them. from flowing mnstache
to luxuriant side whiskers and beard" lie
further wishes that the clergy could hear their
lay critics on the subject of hairy parsons, &"
as in that case he fancies that they could not
continue to treat 1t as a trivial matter and he
finishes up his letter by the extraordinary re-
mark that the wearing CT whiskers and beard
Just makes the difference between looking like
a gentleman or the reverse"
This Is certainly rather hard on the hundreds
and Thousands OF gentlemen who have abiured
the use of the razor. Would the critic main
tain that they have all suffered fatal tiecen-
eracy of appearance by this conduct? No doubt
there may be people who still hold to the super-
stition that a gentleman ought to shave lust as
it was believed by our ancestors that persons
DESTROYS OF being considered TO belong to 1.-THE
quality" must wear wigs. The custom Of wear
ing the hair on the face, however. has become
so general in every profession that il might
have been imagined that il had won an estab-
lshed position by this time. secure from the
onslaughts either of ciericals or laymen.
The critic obviously forgets that il may be
just as damaging to clergyman's influence
over his Pensioners to be called a 'beardless
boy" as to be called hairy parson," and.
after all, ii is hardly the most manly and earn
est section Of churchmen who think that cler-
gyman's principal duty is to look nice in a sur
plice. 1t may somewhat allay the discomfort
of this friend Of the barber il he remembers
that not all the gentlemen who are ordained
become at once rectors, or even curates. Per-
haps when they take upon themselves active
spiritual duties they NAV see fit to alter their
facial appearance and thus their first shave

Long Rides in Australia.

from the LONDON news
In Australia, where population is sparse and
distances are great. some remarkable feats Of
endurance in horse riding are credited to the
mounted police-feats more remarkable In some
instances, taking into account all the circum-
stances, than those accomplished BY the win
ners in the military ride between Vienna and
Berlin. Trooper Power in February, 1880, un-
dertook an arduous journey across most in
hospitable country in pursuit Of horse stealer
named John Smith. This jealous officer tray-
eled 766 miles in twenty-six days without chang
ing horses. For one stage Of eighty miles be
was wholly without water and the country was
in such bad state for $50 miles that his two
horses had nothing to eat. His powers of en-
durance may be judged from the statement
that he did thirty miles day on worn-out
horses. along long. dry stages and with bad
water or no water at all to drink
Trooper Wiltshire on another occasion rode
eighty-fve miles in twenty hours ON one horse.
This was on May %, 1887, two days after the
natives had 'stuck mp" Eriduna station. This
same man travelled 900 miles in four days when
he heard that acomrade named Shirley had died
Of thirst. He did not have macsdamized roads
and plenty Of fresh water like the German OH
GERS, but he bad broiling sun to endure, sand
hills to climb, ''mulga" scrub to penetrate, and
was sometimes compelled to take dead animals
out Of native wells before he could uss the
water.
