Richmond Will be made by way of West
Point. If the start Is early, but as the ball
will not be over till considerably after
midnight, it is hardly probable the ladies
OF the party will consent to rise at an
hour sufficiently early to enable he York
river metropolis TO be visited.
NOT AFRAID OF NAL DE MER.
The young ladies OF the Governors
family are anticipating the trip with great
pleasure. Prophecies of seasickness and
danger of shipwreck may cause inward
misgivlngs, but there is no visible token
Indeed, they appear far more affected by
the early hour at which they must rise In
order TO start at 8 o'clock, one Of them
declaring she was never out OF bed at
such an hour except on circus-days. They
have been somewhat reconciied to the loss
OF their beauty sleep, however. by the
Governors picturing to them the sub
Unity of the sunset viewed from Hamp-
ton Roads. which they would lose were
the start made much later.
Governor Tyler has expressed great re-
gret at being unable 10 visit Norfolk, as
he is a great admirer of the City by the
Sea, and has there come of his warmest
friends. II is not yet certain that he can
not go there, and II Captain Hudgins
agrees that the run from. Norfolk 10
Onancock can be made in one day, with
out making the hour of arrival at the lat
ter place too late. Monday night will be
spent at Norfolk insteadsof at Old Point.

About six years ago 1 started a buffalo
farm az this place. and have succeeded

sisted Of three young bison. a bull. and
;vo cows. This stock has increased and
multiplied. until to-day I have a herd OF
twenty-five full -blooded bison, ana about
eighteen bulls and heifers. which have
been produced by crossing the buffalo
with domestic animals.
The crossing has been particularly sue
e~sssful, as the hahC-bred animals, be-

endurance OF the buffalo, are as docile as

How TO behave nj the Table.

1t is not considered necessary to eat the
very last morsel on ones plate.
One may or may not eat bread during
dinner, as is fancied.
Bananas should be peeled with a knife,
cut in small pieces, and then eaten either
from the fingers or a fork.
AT a dinner the guests wait until every
one is served before beginning to eat.
If your visitor is a lady, she is served
first; If a gentleman, then he Is served
Immediately after the ladies of the house
have been attended to.
When drinking from a cup, the spoon
should be left in the saucer.
When passing your plate for q second
helping, place your knife and fork at one
side of the plate, with the prongs Of the
fork turned down, so that they may not
be in the way OF the carver.
Few people comprehend how ill-bred Il
IS to say to ones guest, VIII you have
some more?" instead Of ignoring the fact
that he or she has already been served.
No matter how shy a person may be, he
should be taught that when he is asked
which part Of tho fowl he prefers, or
whether he prefers rare or well-done
meat, that he must make a choice at
once, and not state that he has no pre-
ference.
Small Individual dishes are no longer
used, vegetables being served upon the
plate with the meat.
When tomatoes are served as a salad
they are eaten with a fork alone.
In taking a lady to inner or supper a
gentleman offers his left arm.
Dates are eaten from the fingers.
Never rest your elbows on the table.
An apple or pear may be held on a fork
and pared with a knife, or IL may be quar-

the ordinary animals of the farm. Their
fur is particularly fine, they mature ear
Her than domestic cattle, their flesh is
wholesome and tender, and they can
stand considerably more exposure in the
winter than do the domestic cattle.
My experiments have shown that. as
Il rule, the buffalo COW raises a calf every
other year. The births usually take place
between the months Of February and
July. We allow the calf TO run with the
mother for three or four months. Then
the little animal Is weaned. This is done
FOR two reasons. Firstly we find that we
can better domesticate the calves when
they are separated from their mothers.
and, secondly, when deprived Of the
presence Of the calf the mother will sooner
present the owners Of the stock-farm
with another one.
NOT HARD TO RAISE.
The difficulties Of budalo-farming are
not SO great as would be expected by
those who have not experimental. Ac-
CordinB 10 the popular idea, the buffalo
farmer would nave frequent fierce en-
counters with the wild stock that
he IS trying 10 raise. There is
no such trouble. We turn the
herd out to pasture with merely
d barb-wire fence 20 keep them from
straying. We have yet to find that they
make any effort 10 escape. The only thing
20 guard against in building the fence
IS 10 make is just high enough to prevent
the animals from jumping over. This is
ono Of the things that we have TO teach
the calves at al early age. Taken in
hand young and properly trained, they
become as tame as the domestic animal.
Up TO the age Of 2 years the calves are
inclined to be frisky, and have to be
taught that any attempt TO jump over
or break down fences will meet with
prompt punishment. They very soon
learn that lesson. and, once having learn

and while the applicants are very hume
rous, he Is not certain that the right
man has applied. He wishes TO know
more OF conditions in the oyster region
before making up the board. The appoint

return.
THOSE WHO WILL GO.
Other than the Governor and members
Of his household, including Mrs. Tyler,
his sister, Miss Evelyn; his daughters,
Misses Belle, Sue, and Lily, and his
sons, Messrs. Hoge. Jr, and Heth, there
will probably be one or two invited
members of the party, but the guests
must be few, as the accommodations
aboard the Virginia man-of-war are not
as roomy as those Of a New York and
Liverpool liner.
1t is hardly probable that the Chesa-
peake will go to Norfolk, as the Gov
error desires to go over to Onancock on
Tuesday, and the run would be too long
TO be made in one day. It is probable,
therefore, that Monday night will be
spent at Chamberlin's, and an early
start made Tuesday morning for Oman
cock. The night will be spent there. and
wednesday the return to Old Point will
be made, where the party will remain
until Thursday morning.

Testaments Last to Go.

From the New York Tribune.
One of the regulars, who was with his
regiment and was present at the battle of
San Juan HILL related a little incident of
his observation yesterday as he sat in the
shadow Of a tent in the company street
irving to keep cool when the battle
was over" he said, Il started out to take
a walk up the hill and l was particularly
interested in noting just what things the
regiments discarded first when they went
into action. The first 1 came across was n
trenching tools, cooking utensils, knives
and other things of like character which
the soldier usually carries with him in the
field. The ground all about was strewn
with them. A little further up, possibly
halfway, / came across the Eations that
had been thrown away, and away up near
the top of the hill the last of all to be
discarded were the Testaments and pray
er books the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation had distributed while we were still
in Florida There were a great many of
them along he crest oe the hill but
think the good people of the associa ton
would be glad to know that the men threw
away eerything else that might prove bur-
dcnsome or in the way, even to their ra-
tons, which were scanty enough, before
they gave up the Testaments that had
been given them"
