The Dutchman's Calf. Our friend
Carl, the butcher, had just bought a fine
calf and stopped a moment in the bar-room
of the drovers1 hotel to say good bye to the
barkeeper. Their emotion at parting was
very great so much so indeed that the en
tire crowd joined in, the most of them tak
ing 'sugar in theirs.'
At this juncture, Mr. Charles Hiucs
offered to bet champagne for the party, that
he would steal, Carl's calf before he got to
town. 'Eugh 1 eugh I' grunted Carl, 'py
tam I takes dat bet.' 'Enough said,' was
the an6wer, and once more evincing their
emotion, much to the satisfaction of the
landlord and also three horny handed Gran
gers who had been ornamcntiug the stove
with their 'country twist' expectorations,
Carl, giving an extra twist round the neck
of his young bovine, mounted to his seat
and drove slowly oil; shaking the body of
his wagon with suppressed laughter as he
roared back ;
'Yes, py tam, steal him if you can.'
'You can't do it, Charlie,' said the
crowd with one voice.
This young gentleman, whose wits had
seen sharpened by his early piratical life
and his occasional intercourse with a few
Chinee, said nothing, but buttoned up his
coat, and taking from his pockets his large
buckskin gloves started out, and with the
speed of an antelope struck through the
woods, and taking a short cut, iu a few
minutes came out on the rs?d some dis
tance ahead of Carl, who had not yet turn
ed the bend. Throwing down one of Lis
gloves on the roadside he quickly withdrew
to the bushes and quickly awaited the ap
proach of the worthy butcher friend, whose
voice could be heard in the distance one
moment swearing at the call, which show
ed every inclination to returu to the mater
nal fold, and next would be heard that deep
gutteral roar :
'Py tam, sthcal Lim if you cau.'
Shortly after the team came to a sudden
halt, the spirited little bovine to a double
halt which nearly dislocated the tailboard
to which he was tied, and Call leaned over
and saw a fine large buckskin glove on the
road.
'Eugh,' said he, 'why didn't the fool
leave dem both V Vat's de use of one glove
anyhow ? G'lang !' and off moved the self
satisfied driver, still chuckling at the idea
of anybody stealing his calf.
The ingenious youth, whose mind should
have been upon better things, emerged from
his lair in the bushes aud once more, after
recovering Lis glove, started through the
woods and bushes, and in less thau half an
hour's time was once again upon the road
side, and had deposited a glove.
The reluctant calf, the well-tried tail
board, tc burly driver, and the straining
leader 60on appeared in sight with this ex
ception, their positions were reversed.
'Got in himaicl !' cried Carl as his eye
caught sight of the big buck glove lying in
front of him, 'youst like the odder one, by
tam. Why de teufel didn't I pick him up
at ouca ?'
Hitching his horses to a roadside sapling,
in another minute he was streaking it tip
hill and away at a '2:40 pace. The bend in
the road was soon reached, and about the
bamc time a swift-footed, smiliDg youth
the one whose mind as we before said
should have been upon better things
stepped from tha roadside shrubbery, pick
ed up the glove, cut the rope, and leading
the calf which appeared willing to submit
-to any thing for a change, through trees
and bushes, was soon loet to sight.
The gallant courser? of that little isle
of the sea, Nantucket, are not remarkable
for bottom speed. One found his way into
the Massachusetts cavalry during the re
bellion, being recommended as an excellent
war horse, when the soldier returned he
went into a towering passion because he
had been swindled. 'But how ?' asked the
islander. 'Why, you warranted bim a
good war horse, and there is not a bit of
go in him. 'Yes, I did ; and 1 repeat, he
is a good war horse, for he'd sooner die
than run.'
A Parisian, who was known as a free
thinker, met a friend the other day, and,
taking him by the liaud, said, 'I have be
come a Christain.'
'I am glad to hear iL' he replied ; 'sup
pose we now have a settlement of that little
account between us. Pay me that thou
owesL'
'No,' said the new born child, turning
on his heel ; 'religion is religion, and busi
ness is business.'
A Question of Hash. A young blood,
much given to quizzing people, went into
an eating-saloon on Market street the other
day, and with quite a deal of flourish took
a seat at one of the tables. A colored
waiter approached him with a look of in
quiry on his shining mug.
Well, sah ?'
'What have you got to eat V asked the
customer.
'O, got almost anything boss.'
'You have, eh ?'
Yes, sah, shuer.'
'Almost an j thing. Well, well, give me
a plate of that,'1 said he, looking earnestly
nt the darkey.
The waiter returned his paze for a mom
ent, and catching the fellow's idea of quiz
zing him, he yelled to the cook at the fur
ther end of the room :
'Oixilik cfhfuhP
' What's that ? I ordered a plate of '.('
didn't 3 0U understand ? 'Almost any
thing' which you spoke of.'
Well Bah, dar's most evtrytlung in hash.
Yah 1 yah ! yah !' and the darkey laughed
as though he really enjoyed the joke that
be had turned upon the quizzcr.
A 'Unanimous' Irish Jury. The fol
lowing laughable scene is reported as a fact
from a day at a Hibernian court of 'justice.'
Doubtless it might be matched by some
transactions at negro jury trials 'down
south.'
At the Limerick Scssious recently, the
jury, after a quarter of an hour's absence,
returned into court. 'We find him not
ruilty.'
Chairman 'Are you unanimous in your
verdict V
Foreman 'We are, your worship ; were
are nine to three' Great mirth.
Chairman 'This is not a proper verdict.'
Foreman 'We first decided, your wor
ship, that the minority should be ruled by
the majority before going into the merits
of the case. We then become all unanim
ous in the end.' Laughter.
Chairman But how could you be unani
mous when you say you are nine to three ?'
Foreman 'Your worship, I took down
those who were ior finding him guilty, and
those who were for acquitting him, and the
minority agreed to the verdict of the ma
jority.' We are told that three hundred years ago
ladies combed their hair just as they do to
day. This wont do in a civilized land
among observing people. Three hundred
years ago ladies used to come their hair on
their heads now they hang it over the
back of a chair and comb it

Cut and comb with taste the hair ;

And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request you to stop.
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for onr nsc of the ballot for prin

Duisk for tub Harvest Field. A farmer's
wife in Montgomery county sends us the follow.
ing reeeipt for a "Wholesome Field Drink," and
as the season is now approaching when it can be
used, we publish it that all may make it mhn
choose: The excessive use of cold water daring
the sweltering heat of summer often results in
serious and alarming illness. It U therefore ad
visable that some beverage should be substituted
for it of which those oppressed can nartake with
safety. For this purpose I am aware of no bet
ter or more refreshinz drink than th r,.!tr.;n.
Take of the best white Jamaica ginger root, care
fully bruised two ounces : cream of tartar nn.
ounce, water six quarts, to be boiled for about
nve minutes, then strained ; to the strained
liquor add one pound of snsar. nnd asrain nlaep
it over the fire, keep it well stirred till the sugar
is perfectly dissolved, and then Donr It into an
earthen vessel, iuto which yon have previously
put two drachms of tartaric acid, and the rind
of one lemon, and let it remain until the heat is
reduced to a lukewarm temperature, then add
a teaspoon ful of yeast, stirring them well to
gether, and bottle for nse. The corks must be
wen secured. I he drink will be in a hifh ee-
r r -
fection in four or five days. This Is a very re
issuing aud wholesome beveraze. and one which
may be largely partaken of without any nn-
pieasaui results, even in the hottest weather.
Milk Fever is Cows. As this is the tim f
year when this dangerous malady is mot nrev.i.
lent, we have to repeat that the surest remedy i
pretention, by exercising a sound discretion in
me cow s feed, before and immediately aftor
calving. If inclined to fat and high condition,
put Her on a low nonstimulating diet, so as,
without reducing her strength toomneh
any inflammatory tendency. We have seen such
cows to be separated from the rest of the herd
and kept for a few weeks preceding calving, on
corn rodder only, aad even oats straw. With
cows of low coudition, the treatment should he
somewhat different. There is not so much lia
bility to milk fever with these, unless very
abundant milkers, and at the critical Derio.1 of
parturition it is necessary with them that strength
uuu vuni energies should be sufficient to carry
them safely through. The farmer's observation
aud common sense should enable him to regulate
these points, so as not to err on either hand.
The best cows and deepest milkers are most lia
ble to milk fever, and many a valuable animal is
lost by it. Prevention in the way suggested will
be found the safest plan.
Should a case occur, which may be known by
the cow refusing to eat, soon falling down and
unable to rise, with violent tossing about of Up;
head, towards her side, repeated raising and
lowering it, indicating great brain disturbance,
we have known laudanum in a dose of about 5
ounces, to effect a cure. This acts, we presume,
by quieting the nervous system, and the brain
where the nerves centre, so that nature may
work her own cure.
A prominent dairyman of Montgomery county
tells us in his herd of over 40 cows, he has for
many years fonnd this remedy the roost success
ful. We observe Dr. McCIare recommends when
the disease is present, to give, at once, thirty
drops of the tincture of Aeon te root, and half
an ounce of the pure opium in powder, also to
place chopped ice in a bag on the forehead and
attach it to tbe horns, renewing it when wanted.
As there is unnatural determination of blood to
the womb in milk fever, he also recommends
that the body and legs be kept warm, whieh will
relieve the womb to that extent.
When the cow begins to recover give one pound
Epsom salts, with one-half an ounce of girger,
and feed with warm bran mashes.
How to Make Peach Trees Bear Large,
Smooth, Li sciocs Peaches. Several years ago
a geulleman owned a farm in Ulster county. He
had upon It several peach trees which bore a
small quantity of peaches, altogether enough for
the family's use. This gentleman one day sold
his farm. Ilis wife was much displeased about
it, and said the new comers should not have any
benefit of the peach trees. Accordingly she
heated a large kettle of water until it boiled,and
turned it npon the roots of the peach trees, and
so continued to do until she had been to each
tree. "There," said she, "I've killed them, all."
(This was an ignorant, revengeful old lady ; let
ns hope no such ones exist at the present day.)
Mark the result. The following summer the
new comers had an abundance of large, smooth,
luscious peaches, such as the trees had never
borne before. This teaches ns a lesson, and I
think it is this : Tbe hot water killed insects
about the roots of the trees, and made them more
healthy, and the fruit also at the same time.
The water was so cooled tefore it reached the
roots of the trees it did not hurt then.
Fkcit Prospects ox the Potomac. The edi
tor of the Richmond 4'fuf Journal, whose farm
is in Fairfax county, on the Potomac, writes
that the peaches are generally killed in that re
gion except in orchards located along the imme
diate bank of the river. All other fruit is un
harmed. So far as present appearances indicate
the crop of cherries, apples, and pears will be
large. Some varieties of peaches are killed to
tally, others show a scattered setting, while a
few are thickly set. The experience there, as
elsewhere, shows the great value of locations
adjaceut to water for peaches. It has been
found by careful observation that the peach will
one year in three more near the water than at a
distance. Eastern Virginia abounds in splendid
sites for peach orchards, and thousands of for
tunes are yet to be made there growing these
delicious fruits.
To Make Cuttings Grow. A correspondent
of the Western Farmer says : I used to have a
great deal of trouble to make currant and goose
berry cuttings or slips grow, until I tried the
following plan : I boiled some potatoes until they
were nearly done, and then stuck one on each
slip and pnt it in the ground. Every slip sprouted
nnd grew well all summer, with one or two ex
ceptions. The idea of putting the boiled pota
toes to the end of cuttings was to furnish and
