The Rogues Around Oxford
Have been very attentive to tlie
property of tlie Orplian Asylum. Dur
ing the iir.st year of our operations
here a flue fat Cliester sow was stolen;
tlien a pig of noble blood and hand
some figure was taken away at night.
About the first of this month a beau
tiful wlute pig, three mouths old and
very fat. Was stolen away, and eaten
or sold. Two years ago a man took a
cow belonging to the Orplian Asylum,
penned her alone in a solitary tliieket
and kept her concealed until he was
betrayed. lie had several times de
nied that he knew any tiling about tlie
cow; but when she was found, in Ills
pen, he claimed great credit for having
“kept her to her milk.” His impudence
was equal to his villainy.
DIFFEKE'XICE JW M!LK at Ya-
laOES TIMES OF TME D.AY.
I’rofessor Boedeker has anal}'-
zed tlie milk of a healthy cow at
various times of the day, with the
view of deterniing the changes in
the relative amount of its consti
tuents. He found tliat tlie solids
of the evening’s milk (13 per cent.)
exceeded tliose of tlie morning’s
milk 10 percent; wliile tlie water
contained in tlie fluid was dimin-
islied from 89 per cent, to 86 per
cent. Tlie fattv matters gradu
ally increase as the day progresses.
In the morning they amount to
2.|- per cent; at the noon IJ per
cent; and in the evening 5| per
cent. Tills fact is important in a
practical point of view ; for while
16 ounces of morning’s milk will
yield lialf an ounce of butter,
about double tliis quantity can
be obtained from tlie evening’s
milk. The caseine is also increased
in the evening’s milk, irom 2^ to
2i|- per cent; but the albumen is
diminislied from 44-100’ths per
cent, to 31-100’tlis per cent. Su
gar is least abundant at midnight,
(4| per cent,) and most plenty at
noon (4| per cent.) Tlie percen-
take of the salt.s undergoes al
most no cliange at any time of
the day.^—Edinburg Medical Jour
nal.
—Tlie Charlotte Democrat de
nounces as “ humbuggery ” the pi'o-
vailing excitement in favor of propa
gating fish. A writer in the News
proposes to propagate frogs near Xew-
herii and drive them to Philadelpliia.
He forgets (perliajis he did not know)
tliat .Pasquotank liiver raises every
year frogs enough to feed an army.
They could he canglit, salted and sent
by water to Xortliern cities witliout
the trouble of “ eoneei'ts and dime
parties” by the way. But if concerts
must be given, the Camden frogs out-
siiig all others. Tliey throw so much
life and melody iuto their music.

FEETTEK-.ME-JIGGS
CIIAMBEIC.
I overheard tliem talking it
over—the Voices wliicli begin to
speak in a room the moment it is
deserted b3Hiuman beings.
Little Flutter-me-jigg had just
gone, slamming the door, and
declaring lier room to be “the
liatefulest, dingiest old place she
ever did see!”
A big oclio started up indig
nantly. “Ever see?” Ever seel”
“1 liave,” said the Canary. “I
see as plain as dajn I can’t and
I won’t sing in a dusty cage and
no sugar. Tliat’s wliy she don’t
like me!”
“xVnd I see,” said the Rose in
tiie vase. “I’ve eaten of this wa
ter till I’m deatli-sick for a cliange
of diet. Of course I’m dull. That’s
why she doiqt like me!”
“So’ni I,” spit the Fire. “She
never gives me a friendly poke.
That’s why- she don’t like me!”
“She despises us,” said the
Cushions, low-spirited, when we
simply- want a shaking up, and
ive’d be light as anybody-. That’s
why- she don’t like us!”
“She never thinks of straigh
tening us,” said the Table-covers,
“so of course she don’t like us!”
“Or of dusting us,” said the
Brachets, “and so she don’t like
us!”
“Or of returning us to our
places,” said the Chairs, “so slie
don’t like us!”
“Or polisliing us,” said the
Vases, tlie Window-s, andtheMir-
rows. “No wonder she don’t
like us!”
Then the Canary, and the Rose,
and the Fire, and the cushions,
and tlie Table-covers, and tlie
Brackets, and the Chairs, tliey all
said in chorus, “No yvonderl no
ivonderl No yvonder Mistress
Flutter-me-jigg don’t like the
looks of her chamber!”—Wide

Much interest has been awak
ened ill England, since the return
of the Alert and the Discovery of
tlie Arctic Expedition, and in the
relative power and endurance of
sailors who were total abstainers
and those yvho ivere moderate
drinkers. The facts, as given
in the London Times, are decided
ly in favor of the total abstainers,
both as to ability to endure fatigue
and the intense cold and to resist
tlie scurv}' from yvliich those yvho

The Times says that Dr. Golan,

favorably of total abstinence as
