Cows For THE DAIRY.-A writer in the
Rural Home says: ........-


We believe that a great mistake will be
made, If dairymen should be led away by the
prevailing fashion to favor the introduction
of Jersey blood into their herds. 1t would
result in reducing the size and feeding quail
tiles, and enfeebling the constitution, without
any corresponding gain in the way of addi-
tional milking value True, we might have
richer milk for butter making. but not for
cheese. The milk of the Ayrshire COW,
though somewhat lacking in richness for
butter making, is full of caseine, and therefore,
valuable to the cheese maker. The finest
and best dairy cows we ever saw were obtain
ed by a cross of Ayrshire on first class native
cows, followed by cross of Short-horn, the
result being half Short-horn to a quarter each
of Ayrshire and native. They were splendid
mixers and always full in flesh on moderate
feed in winter.

The Graphic says of Kate Field: ssBut
few can doubt the clearness of her insight
the acuteness of her criticism, and the beauty
of the language in which she clothes her
ideas. The humorous and the pathetic sides
of Dickens are treated with equal appreci-
matte power. The lady can also claim,
among personal advantages, those of soft
but sufficiently strong voice, clear delivery,
with all the grace of culture and a remarkable
freedom from conventional affectation."

From the Indianapolis Evening Journal


The other day we published the par


ticulars of a conspiracy by which e. B.


Hebben and Bob Sproule defrauded


Cyrus L. Dunlan of a fancy paper weight


some years since. Robert is pretty


sharp. He writes good Washington let


ters, and edits the telegraphic reports of


the Sentinel with ability; but he is occa-


sionally taken in and done for. Some


years since, while Robert was editing a


valuable and widely circulated news


paper at Russellville, in this State, he


developed a mania for game cocks. He


built him a large hennery, with all the


modern facilities for incubation, and


with separate compartments to keep the


different breeds from mixing and fight


ing. He had variety of walks,


upon which he put the masculine


poultry as soon as it arrived at fight


ing age, and every evening he shook the


politics of the nation and the cares and


responsibilities Of the Jacksonian from


his soul like dew-drops from the lions
name, and invigorated his weary brain
by feast of fried fish and a cock fight.
He had at one time sixty pairs of
well-bred game fowls, and his fame as
a chicken fancier stopped over the boun-
daries of Rush, and inundated several
neighboring counties. A friend in an
other part of the State, knowing Sproule's
rare and valuable breed. The eggs ar
rived while Bob was at the office, and
the cook, knowing nothing of their value
and supposing they had come from the
grocery, boiled them for supper. The
CONSIDERATION of Mrs Sproule when she
learned what disposition had been made
of the eggs may be imagined. Knowing
Bob's hasty temper aud the extent of his
infatuation for tbs feathered gladiators,
she feared that in his blind rage he would
burst a blood vessel or commit murder.
So, first swearing the cook to secrecy,
she carefully cooled the hard-boiled eggs,
and put them back in the box. Bob was
delighted when he found the eggs had |
come, and he Immediately put a hen to
work on them. The hen was an am
bilious young pullet and she sat
Bob going out half dozen |
times every day to have a look |
at her. She sat her full time out, but, as
a matter of course, without results A |
week passed, and still there was ne sign |
Of pip" Bob couldn't understand It. |
No more could the hen. But she sat
straight ahead, with determination to
hatch Il out on that line il it took all
summer. She wasted away to skele-
ton, and her feathers dropped of one
By one, until she was almost naked, but
still the obstinate eggs wouldn't hatch.
Bob thought Of putting on a fresh hen,
but before doing so concluded he would j

break an egg to see wbatwas the matter.
His amazement on finding it thoroughly
cooked was something extraordinary.
He thought it was owing to the fact that
there was too much animal heat in the
hen, and wrote an article about it for
the Jacksonian, which was copied in the
New York Tribune. Some years later
Mrs. Sproule, tortured with remorse,


made full confession. Even at that
late day Bob ragged like madman, but
the cook had married and gone West to
grow up with the country.

Gen d. II. H.Hill-..Bether Hin, OF
war memory-in the Southern Home
of which he is editor, presents a
strong article to show that the peO-
pie Of the South, in their enthusiasm
for Greeley, are not guided by poll
Cy. We quote the following strik-
ing paragraphs FROM his article;


ave do not take Mr.. Greeley
therefore from policy, but from prin-
ciple. We take him because he is
with us in all the essential principles
which involve in the Presidential
contest. He is opposed to banning
the old leaders of the South. He is
opposed to carpet-bAgism. He is
opposed to military rule and the
persecution of the people. He is
opposed to the thievish rings which
bankrupt the masses TO enrich the
rogues, He is opposed to extravs
gance in administering the govern
meat and high taxes Hp0n the peo-
pie. He is opposed TO two terms 10
the Presidential offiCe-the first term
being employed in bribing the way
with stolen money for second term.
He is opposed to squandering the
public domain upon the swindlers
who bribe the President and Con-
gress to pass iniquitous Railroad
Bills. He is opposed to putting in-
conIpetents into office, even should
they be kin to the President. He is
opposed to making q Poland OF the
South, and in favor OF winning our
people by the law Of kindness. In
brief, on all the living issues Of the
hour, Mr.. Greeley and the South are
in perfect accord. His Platform
and his letter embraces all for which
we can now contend. 1t is because
of this agreement in principle that
we accept him as our leader, and
not because of any low views of pol
icy and eXpediency.


"The Radical candidate has but
two ideas in his head. The first is
TO get richer still by gifts from bribc-
giYers. The second is to degrade,
humiliate and ruin the Southern
people. We oppose him on princi-
pie, and we favor the man whose
personal honesty is above suspicion,
and whose heart is big enough 70

committed upon the States lately in

Wm RAILROAD BmDiEs BnEAK.-A
correspondent Of the Basi9ess Guide
submits the following theory: 1t Is the
custom to allow trains to approach
the bridge at full speed, Stacking up
only when nmediately before aud
while on tho bridge. The breaks are
thus applied TO the wheel while Oh the
bridge the rails on which the wheels
are running must therefore resist the
momentum, and as they are fastened
directly to the bridge, a tremendous
longitudinal strain Is brought upon 1t.
Especially is this the case when the
locomotive has passed over and the
train, with breaks down, isstill on the
bridge. 10 illustrate this philosophy,
take a small wagon and place It on n
light table. lock the wheels and attempt
to draw 1t across the table. 1t will be
readily seen that the table is drawn
over In the same direction.

The Big Coul Heap at the North Side Gus


Works Still Burning-One Thousand Tons


Reduced to Coke.


The Chicago Gas Light and Coke Company re-
ceived during the summer 10000 tons Of Pitts
burgh COAL which vas stored in an immense
shed at the works, near Division Street Bridge
On Friday morning fame issued from the heap,
and it was soon apparent that the lower stratum
WAS on fire, caused, it is supposed, by
the great pressure producing spontaneous
combustion. Fire engines were summoned
and have been playing on it since with but ittle
effect, as it burned yesterday herce1y as ever.
The only way to extinguish the s1nouldering
mass is to remove all that can be- removed from
around the fire, which will then exhaust itself.
Over one hundred men, twenty-five wagons, and
number OF Wheel-barrows are busy day and
night, and relays will be kept at work so as to
save as much as possible. The Mayor
visited the scene yesterday, and gave
the uae OF portion Of a street
in which to dump the coal. One Thousand tons
have been reduced to coke, and the entire loss
to the company, so far, is estimated at 800, 600.
Pure coal is safe when stored in bulk, no matter
how high it is piled, But this was impregnated
with more than it's fair share Of sulphur, which
ignited. At one time the works were threat
ened, but that danger is believed to, be past. AS
the destruction Of the apparatus would leave
the North and South Divisions in darkness for
an unknown period, the disaster would affect
everybody, and be very inconvenient during the
