Bob Fouche was employed to sue old Father Bigelow for a lot of land. During the trial he introduced a witness to prove that Bigelow was a common squatter, and claimed every lot that had no settler upon it. Bigelow is a.' very ancient in habitant and is as lean, bony and vigorous as he was half a century ago. His age has been guessed at all the way from 90 to 150, and still anno domini makes no inlpression upon him. louche thought it would en liven the monotony of the case to get' up an issue about his mysterious advent ' into the world, and so he asked the wit4- ness if he knew how old Bige low was. The witness wanted to be facetious and replied "No, sir, I don't know for cer tain, but when 1 was a young man I heard the old settlers say that when they came here iu 1838 they found Bigelow sit tin' on a rock by the big Spring anl he was claimin' all the laud, arid some folks say he came along with De Soto's baud dropped out of the gang iu this neighborhood.

Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson's friends have never forgotten his aspiratfons to be Secretary of the Interior in the present cabinet. The story that is just now interesting every body in Washington is believed to have originated with the aforementioned friends of Mr. Clarkson. It tells in elaborate details that Mr. Harrison, Lav ing become convinced that it would never do to appoint At torney General Miller to the vacant justiceship of the Su preme Court, and his being a New York man, having settled Secretary Tracy's chances, had decided to appoint Secretary Noble to the vacancy. That would make a vacancy in the cabinet, which the 3tory goes on to say, the President has not yet decided whether he will fill with Postmaster General Wanainaker arid make Mr. Clarkson Postmaster General or appoint Mr. Clarkson Secretary of the Interior.

He never re versed his decisions, but an nounced them at onctffrom the bench. The greatest strain upon his patience and his courtesy was to' be constrained to listen to au argument upon the law of the case and to the tedious reading from authori ties precedents. He wab self conscious that he neeaea no instruction',, but he was not vain of his perceptions. His sympathies were always with the right side and h&could not help his leanings that way "Justice is represented as blind folded," said he, "but that is a mythological mistake. She is always peeping with one eye under the handkerchief, and she ought to. She ought to see enough to know whether it is a woman against a man or an oppressor against the oppress ed." On one occasion he was employed in a civil buit against a woman. She was-; present in courtroom, and was fair to look upon, and Colonel Dabney, who was her lawyer, had closetl an admirable speech in her favor. Judge Underwood arose and complimented him, and then said : "But, gentlemen, he had a client a presence an in spiration that could not fail to make elonuent. lhe fear and the chivalry that constrained him will restrain me, but I will do the best I can' under my surroundings. How happy would I be to keep my cause and exchange my client." Judge Underwood was an old time lawyer, and had no resnect for the modern ticks of the trade, "sometimes I think," said he,i "that Cis Morris was right when he said, "the law is a kind of a thing fixed up by lawyeis toj scare a passel of idiots," and Macklin was right wheu he said, "the law is a hocus pocus that 'smiles in your face while it picks your pocket." , I '.ILL A III' jority.

Should we waut a cow for rich milk, get a Jersey or Guernsey. rbe Jersey is a email cow and a big eater, generally of. a fawn color, sometimes reddish black points and occasionally black, rich yellow skin ; cows mild and gentle, bulls dangerous. Ihey are the fas' ionable cow of the day. Th- ..io not the largest miiKer out givo more butter by far than any other breed. They give the richest butter of any, and more butter to the quantity of milk: They are uot hi ror beef, or rather it will not pay to raise them for beef. The points specially in their favor are their rich milk, yellow butter and beautiful iawn coior. irossea on our common cows .they make good stock for milk and butter, sometimes the crosses on good scrub milkers giving as much or more milk than the full t reed, though not eo rich, but yellow butter. They are not suited for work oxen and it will not pay to breed from the male crosses. So you see iu the Jer sey you have purely a milk and butter cow. Ihe Guernseys are generally better milkers than their cous ins, the Jerseys, give more milk and are nearly as rich in butter They are larger and more gentle both cqws and bulls.

These are large caltle and require a large qu in tity of feed. They give large quantities of milk, sometimes to S aUons per aa.y, but not to much butter. They are used extensively on the large dairy farms North and West and, to some extent in the West, are liked for their beef qualities. ine noisiein mase good oxen for drawing large or heavy loads ; they are, however, bet ter adapted to the level plains of the West, owing to thei large size.

They are tne Dest uairy cows, owing to the large quantity of mil they give, but cannot be classed as general purpose cows. There are many things that could be said about these rattle, both as to butter, beef and work oxen but I don't thiuk they are th general purpose cow we need here, unless the llolstein be au exception. Each breed he its admirers and they can say a great deal for them. The sev eral breeds have been bred up for a special purpose and you can rarely find in any one breed more than one or two good qualities thoroughly brought out. For instance you cannot find a breed that has all the good qualities well developed. The best milk and butter cow is not the best for beef or work. The best milkers are not the best butter cows and the best beef cattle are not the best for milk and butter. The Hol steiu is a good milker the Naoaski, Japuu.
