but never to an animal. In the
(Sranitc .tr-.to, cNo, I have often
heard the singular question ar-ked in
regard to a particular individual,
"Is he lore-handed?" A stranger
after hrrrinr such a ouerv for the
first time would certain! v need to be
told that it's almost the equivalent of
the verv common " Is he well oil:'' of
the .Middle Stales. One ff -ra3-pet
errors as to ile d'-rivittion of an
idiomatic word that t-ould well be
made, was that of a person who in
sisted that this word was properly
t-pclled - four-handed," and that the
pith of its weaning lay ia the fact
ihet a person ith two tets of hands
it such a monstrosity could exist
would be able to rake ia money very
fast. Still another peculiarity in
New Hampshire i-pcrch is this ques
tion, "Jlewdoyou i.kc: i never

of Western K ansas, who were so
ravaged last year, are now too poor
to buy. There can be little doubt,
however, that the effect is tempora
ry, and is, for the present, much over
estimated. The present crop of
erashonners are confined to a dis
trict about 150 miles wide, extend
ing from near the southern line of
Kansas to the northern line of Mis
souri. Seventy five miles west of ns
they have none, and they never had
such good prospects for crops; "5
miles cast of ns they have none, and
they have good prospects. There
are none reported in Western Iowa.
In this district they are seriously
damaging gardens and oats. The
fall wheat and early sown flax, cas
tor beans, and many other thiag3 of
less importance, bavo escaped with
little injury. The corn has beea cut
down generally, but it can be re
phnted in time to make a fair crop
after they leave. The hay crop can
not, in the nature of things, te in
jured. We may, then expect to have
fair crops of corn, w inter wheat, cas
tor beans and flax, with probably aa
average fruit crop, and plenty of hay.
The loss, therefore, in the district
where they exist cannot bo material,
discouraging as it looks to many
people. West of this district there
w ill be abundant crop3, and as the
people lost everything last year, and

will want much, and will trade to

a great measure compensate, for the
light Spring and Summer trade.
There is, therefore, no reason to bo
greatly discouraged. A little pa

Alderaey Cow.
Alderney is well kuown for the
breed of cowi which bears its nume.
These ere so called probably because
the first ones exported were from
that island, although now very few
that arc sold as Alderney cows are
directly from there. Those of .that
breed actually exported from these
islands are generaly from Jersey,
where the cattle are much the same
as those ol Alderney, small, with ta
pering heads, and of a delicate fawn-
color. The Guernsey cow is esteemed
by some even more highly than the
Alderney ; it is rather larger, and
more of a red, brindled, ia color.
The cows are milked three times
daily, and the milk is churned with
out skimming; one pound of butter
day is by no means an uncommon
yield for a good cow. The cow cab
bage is made to reach a size so large
that the leaves are used to wrap the
butter in for market, while the stalks
are Tarnished and armed with ferrules
and extensively used at St. lleller's
lor canes, i tie cows are very care
fully coddled. The grass they feed
on.is highly enriched by the vraic,
a species of sea-weed gathered from
the reefs at low-tide. There are to
vraic harvests appointed by the Gov-
ermcnt, one in the spring, and the
other in August, although it is gather
ed at other times ia small quantities.
All hands turn out intbeseasou with
boats and carts, frequently at night,
and it is a very lively, picturesque
occupation, though often attended
with risk and loss of life from the
overloading of boats or sudden rising
of the tide. The cows are always
tethered when feedinr: they cat less
in this way, really giving more milk
than if clutted witd food, and while
they are cropping the grass on one
sido of a held, it has time to spring
up on the other side. V hen they
nave done eating, tbey are at once
removed from the sun into the shade.
The breed ia preserved from intermix
ture with other breeds by strong
and arbitrary laws very carefully
enforced. No cattle arc allowed to
enter the islands except for slaughter
within a certain number of days, with
the exception of oxeu for draught.

On Ear at m Time.
Many extraordinary persons, w ho
have figured ia history as men of ac
actien, have had a propensity to do
their thoughts rather than speak them,
to convey, or at least enforce, their
meaning by some significant action
rather than by words. Sir Walter
Scott relates of Napean that once,
in a sharp altercation with his broth
er Lucien, not being able to bend
him to bis will, he dashed on the
marble floor a magnificent gold
watch which be held in his hand,
exclaiming :
"I made your fortunes. I can
shatter them to pieces easier tbaa I
do that watch."
Every one who heard the stry of
Canute the Great, who w hen h'ts
courtiers were extolling hi power
and good fortune as a kind of om
nipotence over nature as well as men,
quietly ordered his throne to be set
on the seabeach when the tide was
out, and when the waves came rolling
in, playing around his seat, and ir
reverently throwing water and spray,
he silently allowed the spectacle to
rebuke their silly Cattery.
A good instance of this symbolism
is related of Alexander the Great.
An accusation was once presented o
him against oneof his officers. When
the informer began his statement,
Alexander turned one ear towards
Lira, and closed the other firmly with
bis band; implying that be who would

The Fans correspondent of the
London Tines writes under date
May C: You gave aa account a
few weeks ago of the discovery by
M. Francois do la Bastic a French
engineer, of a prcce33 by which glass,
while retaining its transparency,
practically ceases to be brittle. Yes
terday evening M. Victor de Luynes,
who, 'with M. de Bastie's sanction,
has for some weeks been making ex
periments at a glass manufactory,
delivered a lecture oa the subject at
the annual meeting of the Socie de
Secour des Amis des Sciences. M.
Dumas, the distinguished chemist
and Fe-maaent Secretary of the
Academie de Sciences, presided, and
the large amphitheatre of tho Facul
ty of Arts at the Sorbonne was
crowded, most of the members of
scientific bodies and the chief glass
! manufacturers being among the au di
ence. M. de la Bastic himself was
also present. M. de LuyneB ex
plained the expansion aud compres
sion of the exterior and interior parts
caused by immersing glass heated
to a certain temperature in an oleagi
nous bath, and he gave some highly
interesting proofs of the success.
Thus he applied some vigorous
biows with a hammer to a piece of
glass which . in its ordinary condi
tion must have beca broken into
fragments, but which sustained this
violence without being any the worse
for it. A small tube of thin twisted
glass bcinir fastened in a vice, he en
deavored to break off the extremity
cf it with a pair of pinchers, bat it
wa3oaly after several attempts and
by diit of much evident muscular
exertion that he succeeded in doing
so. A furnace, moreover was
brought into the hall, and a number
of small globes and pieces of sheet
glass were submitted to the toughen
ing process. M. de Luynes then
threw some of them on the floor to
show that they could bear the shock.
The globes were fastened by strings
tostayes of wood at various bights,
and an assistant mounting a ladder
and setting Her to the string, they
fell ou the table with considerable
force, thence rebounding on the floor,
bnt only one or two of them were
fractured, add those only when fal
ling four or five yards. The assis
tant also mounted on a curved plate
of glass placed on a table so as to
represent an arch of a circle, but
though the portion of the glass oa
which he Btood was an iach or two
above the table it boro the n hole
weight of his body. A similar ex
periment with much thinner glass
was not so successful, but M. de
Luynes stated that it had previously
borne the strain though it had been
necessary for the assistant to mount
upon it somewhat carefully so as to
realize the pressure as much as pos
sible. Of course M. de la Bastie, as
M. de Luynes explained, does not
pretend that glass thus tempered is
absolutely free from danger of break
age, but he elaiins that it will bear
eighty or a hundred times tho strain
of ordinary glass, aud last night's
experimentsafforded conclusive evi
dence of the value of the discovery.
The glass, moreover, it is stated, can
be cut under certain conditions, as
easily as common glass. By means
of the electric light de Luynes gave
some interesting experiments of the
optical properties of glass, the distri
bution of the colors, which were ve
ry brilliant, depending on the shape
given to the objecl. The auditn.'e
showed the utmost interest in the
experiments and explanations, the
former evoking frequent applause.
The greater durability of glass arti
cles will obviously be a disadvantage
to the trade, but against tbio must
be set the use of glass for many pur
poses from which its brittleness has
hitherto excluded it. Not only will
it be applied to many domestic pur
poses, but in some branches ol manu
facture it is likely materially to
cheapen production. In chemical
works, tor example, metallic cham
bers, which are expensive without
beingdurable, will certainly be sub
stituted by glass.

John Qaiccy Adams was undoubt
edly the trost cultured rresident who
ever wore the dignity. Beyond this
be bad the warmest heart and the
deepest sympathies to those who
knew him outside of his .official posi
tion, but a cynical air and exprssion
to those with whom policy or official
courtesy had brought him into mo
mentary contact. It is related of him
that when a candidate for the Fresi
dency, he was persuaded, much
against his will, to visit the county
cattle show. Among the plain anil
hearty farmers who crowded around
him was one impulsive old farmer,
who, shaking him by the hand, ex
claimed: "Mr. Adams, I'm very glad
to see y u. My wife, when 8he was a
gal used to live in your father's family
You were then a little boy, aod she
has often combed your head." ' W,ell".
said Mr. Adams, "I suppose she combs
yours now ?" This extinguished the
old fellow, and undoubtedly lost Mr.
Adams at least one vote.
A Car ItrOplam Eating.
Many devices, says the Troy Times,
have been resorted to to enable opium
and morphine eaters to break the
remorseless habit, but we think the
oae tried by th! friends of an old la
dy in Jefferson county cannot be
beaten. She first used morphia as a
relief from the pains of a tumor.
Nothing could induce her to give up
the use ol ihe poison after the tumor
had been remove 1. The family ac
cordingly resolved upon a harmless
deception. Carefully prepared pota
to starch was substituted for the
morphia ia the bottles. She com
plained that the drug was of an infe
rior quality, but, rea36ured by her
physician, continued to use it" w ith
sublime faith in its virtues until her
death, fifteen years afterward?.
At no time could she do without her
potato starch. Once, when she was
ill, her physician gave her Dover's
powders, but she could not rest uu
1 1 she had taken some of her bogus
morphine. The success of this decep
tion ought to be a suggestion to the
friends of slaves ot this drug.

the hide trade in the United btates
satisfies us that the enormous in
crease of horned cattle since the
civil war, especially in the regions
west of the Mississippi, have began
to tell with decisive effect, not only
upon the leather trade of the Repub
lic, but ot that of foreign lands. In
fact the domestic supply of hides has
became so great that they hold now
about the same relation to the do
mestic consumption that the home
manufacturers of various kinds do to
the home consumption. The most
important fact in this connection is
that the domestic hides have obtain
ed a character for superiority over
the imported, and that this extends
also to the American leather, so that
American harness is said to outlast
the English.
It is surprising how little atten
tion this subject Las received at the
hands of the American press anu
agricultural societies, though there
are few topics of so much conse
quence. It may fairly be said that
the increase and extenion of our ag
riculture carries with it uuavoidably
a corresponding increase of the stock
of cattle and -of the annual crop oi
domestic hides. JNortn, souto, east
and west, ia the old aad the new
States, ia densely populated regions
and in the remote border countries,
it is the same Hence it has hap
pened that bides and leather have
risen up to be great staples, and it is
a singular coincidence that a tanner
should be Fresident of the Repub
lic in an era when for the first time
the American tanner is able to sup
ply a staple article ot -American
leather as a preferred article in the
markets of Europe. Oae excellent
result of this sudden aad remarka
ble rise of the domestic cattle inter
est is the profitable alternative it fur
nishes to the universal rusn into grain
farmin-r at tho west, a rush that ren
dered grainfarming
unprofitable ia
bcijot the vast
many districts and
orcanized hostility
to the railroad
srste.n.
In Kansas it has proven that a far
mer can double his capital ia ten
years by cattle raising, and this is
now so well known that the spread
of cattle raising ia Texas, Arkansas,
the Indian Territory, Kansas, Colo
rado, New Mexico, Nebraska, Wyo
ming and Dakota exceeds all current
knowledge. The consequence is a
steady and remarkable increase in
the supply of domestic hides and a
diminution in the foreign imports.
As this Nation is the leading produ
cer of cotton, breadstufi's and provi
sions, so it is bound to take the lead
in hides, leather, glue, sand paper',
and all the products of tho cattle
trade. When we consider tho im
mense area of tho Republic availa
ble for live-stock, the future of this
business seems one full of promise.
For besides supplying the world with
hides and leather, we shall be ia a
position to tako the lead in leathern
manufactories, such as boots and
shoes, saddles and harness, belting,
and the export of tallow.
Oa one point this live stock inter
est is of great importance. The gold
and silver discoveries have been re
girded as of such value to this Na
tion in the rapid settlement of re
gions so remote, that otherwise their
occupation would have been the
growth of a century. But that at
traction seems to be exhausted just
at the time when live stock raising
comes in to supply its place. This
Interest flourishes where grain farm
ing could not pay, and it involves
lesa labor while it secures a better re
turn oa the capita! invested. It has
been declared by scientists that the
immense herds of buffaloes on the
plains are the descendants of what
was once a stock domesticated by a
race of people preceding the present
Indians. It is therefore believed
that the buffalo can again be domes
ticated and the production of buffalo-
robes carried on the same as of doj
inestic hides. At the present time
the cattle west of the Mississippi
iufinitely outnumber the buffaloes.
It is certain that if the cattle trade
continues to extend at the west we
can easily take the lead in supplying
Europe with hides and leather as in
breadstuffs, provisions and cotton.
This w ill be a new contribution to
ward the maintenance of a perma
nently favorable balance of trade
that shall reduce our foreign trade
and stop the incessant drain of treas
ure. Every farmer in the country,
however small his farm, can contrib
ute to this result to some extent,
since all can raiso at least one cow,
and the annual supply of calfskins is
very important.
Hlaplaeed Confidence.
The existence of an essential
difference between instinct and rea
son, and the unerring certainty of the
lormer as compared with the pro
cesses of the latter, were till lately
taken for granted. In tho present day,
however, a conviction seems to be
dawning oa the minds of many that
h is well not to stake too much
on the certain operation of instinct of
any mrt. Aa impetus will perhaps
be given to this tendency towards
caution by tho action of a rat-not
indeed a seceder from the opposit
camp, but a bona fide rat-who has
declined to follow the course assigned
him by the best zoologists. This rat
wa3 destined the other day at break
fast for a serpent ia the Jardin de
Flantes at Faris, and was with this
purpose introduced into tbecaj?c of the
reptile It was unquestionably the
rat' 8 duty on being brought face to
face with the Ferpcnt to have become
fascinated, and to have obeyed the
instinct which is supposed to deliver
' such small deer" an unresisting prey
to the destroyer. Far from fulfilling
the duty traditionally incumbent
upon him, this daring innovator flew
at the throat of the tsnake and bit it
so severely as to prodcue istant death,
and a loss to the garden of about 2,000
francs' wor.h of serpent. This unex
pected resul: has, however had the
good effect of determining the mana
gers of the Jardin des plautes to
feed the reptiles upon dead animals
only, the "fascinating theory' having
proved an utter failure. Pall Mall

Corn Injured by White Crabs.
A subscriber residing in Lawrence
Co., Fa., writes that the white grub
was very abundant ia his neighbor
hood last summer, destroying entire
cornfields u.3 well as meadows, by
eating the roots of both corn anil
grass. They commenced upon the
corn when it was about a foot high,
and continued to work at the roots
during the entire summer.
We do not usually attempt to name
or identity aa insect without spccij
mens or a full description, but in this
instance we have no doubts in re
gard to the one referred to under the
name of white grub,- as they are too
common and widely known to bo
mistaken for anything else. These
white grubs are the larv;v of s .me of
the numerous species of May beetle,
which frequently enter our houses in
the evening during the spring or
early summer months, as they fly
about at night and are attracted by
the light of a lamp or lire. The fe
male beetle usually deposit their eggs
in grass lands or uncultivated fields
aud tho grubs feed upon the roots of
various plants and live ia this state
two to four years. If pastures or
meadow lands are plowed and the
grass killed, theu planted with corn
or other similar crops, the grubs hav
ing been deprived of their other food,
would naturally seek the roots of
whatever plant they could find.
These grubs are especially fond of
the roots of corn and strawberries
and tbey will also feed voraciously
upon potatoes ; heuce the frequent
failure of such crops upon sod, al
though otherwise it is usually con
sidered preferable to land which has
not been seeded down with grass.
Now the grubs which were so des
tructive to corn last season, may ad
pass through this last transformation
and become beetles this spring, seek
ing uncultivated fields for future dep
redations; but of thi3 we cannot be
positive without an examination of
the infested field. In plowing the
cornfields this spring they should be
carefully examined for grub3, and if
none or only a few arc found, then it
will be safe to plant again with corn,
because the beetles wili seldom fre
quent a cornfield for the purpose of
laying their eggs there, preferring a
less disturbed location.
The crow and the blackbird are the
great natural enemies of the white
grub race, and whenever these birds
frequent a newlv-plowed field we
may rest assured that they are doing
us a favor ia eating the larva? or full-
ly matured May beetles. We have
seen crows follow the plowman upon
our farm for hours at a time, search
ing for these and other kinds of grubs
t or these and other very good rea
sons, we do not permit crows to be
killed or freightcned from our premi
scs. and if they want a little soft
corn at the time their young are
hatching in spring, we provide it and
save them the labor of pulling up
that which we have planted, iar
mers should remember that the more
birds the less insects; and as a rule,
the former are preferable to the latter.
Soaking seed corn in tar water will
prevent the attacks of some kinds of
insects. e have bad no experience
with it as a preventative for white
grubs, but it might be worth trying.
e do not know ot any better way
of ridding a field of white grubs than
cultivation and assistance from birds

The Moaical Male.
There is a good deal of humanity in
a mule after all. Or perhaps it is
better to say that there is a good
deal of mule in humanity. A writer
in the Atlantic gives a very racy study
of the mule, and he speaks as one
who knows the animal long and well
He says:
"The depraved mule rejoices in his
heart if re can make some one mis
erable. It is a trait for which iu the
West they have a specific term
They call it "pure cussedness."
When a mn'.e devotes his whole life
to" illustrating this idea he finds
thousand opportunities and achieves
a remarkable success."
Who cannot recall people of their
acquaintance who have this trait
prominently developed? Again :
"Sometimes the wanderer takes it
into his head that he can sing. So
loner as he keens this idea to himself
nobody can complain. But a mule
whea be has such a conceit is sure to
publish it. One who has never heard
a music solo can form no idea of the
rare cacophony it involves' No
musical eamut can diseribe it. It is
one of the grossest outrages on the
public peace ever devised. Happy for
the hearer if the bray be conhned to
one mule; but when two or three
hundred happen to meet together,
and seme base prompter atLOogthem
says : "Brethern let U3 bray," the
antinhonal response which is never
refused, is perfectly overwhelming.
I remember cte poor mule who lost
his life because he would persistently
exercise this gilt in an Indian country,
and so betray the command to the
enemy. He was shot as a traitor and
a nuisance.
Alas! that we cannot dispose of
some human mules, who have this
same hallucination about their musi
cal powers, ia the same summary
fashioa.
Mr. t'hnate nad the Ambitions Bay.
A great many boys mistake their
calling, but all such are not fortunate
enough to find it out in as good sea
son as this one did. It is said that
Rufus Choate, the great lawyer, was
once ia New Hampshire making a
plea, when a bov, the son ct a far
racr, resolved to leave the plow, and
become a lawyer like Rnfus Choate.
lie accordingly went to Boston, call
ed on Mr. Choate, and said to him
"I heard your plea up in our town,
and I have a desire to become a law
yer like vou. Will you teach me
how?"
'A3 well as I can," said the great
lawyer. "Come in and sit down."
Taking down a copy of Blackstone,
he said: "Read this until I come
back, and I will sec how you get on."
The poor boy began. Aft hour
passed. His back ached, his head
and legs ached. He knew not how
to study. Every moment became a
torture. Another hour passed, and
Mr. Choate came and asked: "How
do you get on?"
"Oct on: hy, do you have to
read such stuff as this?"
"Ye3."
"How much of it?"
"All there is on these shelves, and
more," looking about the great li
brary.
"How long will it take?"
"Well, it has taken tan more than
tweniy-fiveyears."
"How much do you get?"
"My board and clothes."
"Is that all?"
"Well, that is about all that I have
gained a3 yet."
"Then," said the boy, "I will go
back to the plouging. The work is
not near so Lard, and it pays better."
