Sheep as Improvers of the Soil.
We are firm believers in the Spanish
proverb that "the foot "of the sheep
turns thb soil to gold," and the reason
for the faith which is in us, ,is asiol
lowsi ' V " '
'Nearly thirty years ago, a young Vir
ginian came into possession of some 500
acres of laud in the Piedmont region,
closd under thb Blue Ridge. His farm,
originally of good, strong red land,
had jbeen rednced by improvident cult
ure almost to absolute barrenness; bri
ars, brambles, sedge and the pestifer
ous sassafras, had taken almost entire
possession. Just about this time, those
admtaable letters on "Sheep Husband
ry in the South," by Randall, were be
ing published by the late John S. Skin
ner, I in the Journal of Agriculture..
Our' young Virginian read them with
the deepest interest, and became con
vinced that ho could restore his impov
erished, inheritance to its original fer
tility by-menus of sheep. Having de
termined to become a flock-master, the
next question was to decide upon the
variety of sheep he should breed. The
heavy, long-wooled breeds, the Bake
welis, ytho Oxford Downs, t even the
maller South Downs were evidently
unstinted to Iks scanty pastures, and' he
had mado up his mind to lay in a ptock
of the common native sheep, which
were driven through his county eyery
year by the Western drovers, and which
conlld be had at about $2 each. While
waiting for a drover to come along, he
fortunately heard of a flock of some 300
Merinos to bo Lad at a mere nominal
price, wiich he Becurcd .without delay.
They wrro precisely what he wanted;
thef were as, hardy as the native sheep,
would bear as close packing, while their
woo! and pelts were mucSi tnoro valua
ble.' His first operation after the pur
chase of tho sheep was to select a twen

ty aero field, which he cleared of bram
ble and safcHafras in a rough y witlj
an ordinary briar scythe, and thoBheep
were regularly -folded each night on a"
sur jja.ee of a quarter of an acre, until
thc.tpotwa.s well manured. Three sides
of the fold were then lemoved and an
other quarter acre taken in, and Vo he
proceeded until tho wholn lwfnfcv jima

then seeded to wheat and clover, and

A New Use for Chicken Feathers
Chicken feathers are among these
waste products of the farm of which
no regular means of utilization has
heretofore been suggested. : Myriads of
them are strewn over the barnyard,
packed into the floor of the chicken
house, or are converted into positive
nuisances by the wind, which bestrews
them over j lawns and flower beds, or
drives them into open doors and win
dows. The down alone is, we believe,
occasionally used as a stuffing for pil
lows or cushiona, and sometimes em
ployed as an adulteration in goose
feathers; but the long plumes of the
wings, sides, and tail of the bird, un
less m?do into rude bundles to serve a
dusters for the housewife, are generally
regarded as totally, worthless:
"According to statistics very careful
ly compiled," says a writer In Le Na
ture, "we throw away yearly a quanti
ty of chicken feathers, the intrinsic val
ue of which is-- equal to the money we
pay out for cotton." A startling state
ment, but the author considers it true;
and ho proceeds to explain how -the
feathers are prepared to render them
valuable: The operation is to cut' the
plume portions of the feathers from
the stem, by means of ordinary hand
scissors. The former are placed in
quantities in a coarse bag, which, when
full, is closed and'subjected to a thor
ough kneading with the hands. At the
end of five r4inutes,.the feathers, it is
tated, become disaggregated and felted
together, forming a down, perfectly ho
mogeneous and of great lightness. It
c even lighter than natural eiderdown,
because the latter contains the ribs of
the feathers which give extra weight.
The material thus prepared is : worth,
and readily sells in Paris for about two
dollars a pound. About one sixth troy
ounces of this down can be obtained
from the feathers of an ordinary sized
pullet; and this, on the above valuation
is worth about twenty cents.

SOME OP THE EXPLOITS OF PBINCE MET-
TEP.NICIl's SON-IN-IiAW.
, Not the. least remarkable incident in
the life of Count Maurice Sandor was
his connection with Prince Metternicb.
The prince was as punctilious, reserved
and measured, in words and politics, as
the count was brusque, reckless and ha
rum scarum. When! he applied to the
prince for the hand of his daughter, the
prince said ho did not caro about hav
ing his daughter's neck broken; but on
Sandor promising to abandon his feats
of centaurship, he at last gave his con
sent. The very same evening Sandor
rode his horse Tartar up two flights of
stairs into a drawing room, and coolly
told tho prince, when he remonstrated
with him for breaking his promise,
that 'on the contrary he was keeping
his promise, and accustoming his horse
to polite society.'
Ho was incorrigible. He jumped any
thing and ivcrj' thing. At a cross road
he once went over a peasant's wagon,
lie crossed the Danube on the. floes
wheu the ice was breaking up, galloped
up and down the Prater backward in
his saddle, and rivalled all the feats
performed in the great circuses.
In 1848 ho was treated to a charivari
oy mo enrogea populace, on account
of his connection with Prince Metter
nicb; but stepping 6ut on the balcony
with a dog whistle' ani two servants,
each with a sack full of cats, he quite
out-whistled and out miaowed his an
tagonists. Then, going down stairs
among them, ho seized a stone, and
throwing it at one of his windows, invi
ted the crowd to smash the Test. Taken
aback at this courtesy, they refused.
Thereupon Sandor cried: '
"Well, then, let us go to my fathcr-io-laws;
' and 'smash: bis. . :
TIis proposal was carried by acclama
tion, and the Prince's windows were du
y smashed. ; But by this time Sandor
had got the crowd so under his control
that no further damage was done, and
whit might have turned out a serious
not was changed into a convivial rneet-IUS-.
-One day a remarkable transformation

friends, was dnetaa dream. The dream

EECOILECTIOXS OF THE WIT, HU3IOB AJTD
i DBOItliEBY Or THE BENCH AND BAB,
From Chambers JonrnaL
If the walls of the Dublin "Four
Courts" could speak, how many a pleas
ant story and witty repartee and spark
ling bon-mot they could telli Let' me
recall and string together some of these
pearls of anecdote and wit, some of
which, though, perhaps are not alto
gether new, to lovers of anecdote may
well bear repetition.
The first Viscount Guillamore, when
Chief Baron O'Grady, was remarkable
for his dry humor and biting wit. The
latter was so fine that its sarcasm was
often unperceived by the object against
whom the shaft was directed.
A legal friend, extremely studious,
but in conversation notoriously dull,
was once showing off to him his newly
built house. The book-worm - prided
himself especially on a sanctum he had
contrived for his own use, so secluded
from the rest of the building thai he
could pore over his books in private
quite secure from his disturbance1.
'Capital!' exclaimed the Chief Baron.
'You surely could,- my dear fellow,
read and study here from morning till
night, and no human being be one bit
the wiser. -
A young and somewhat dull tyro at
the bar pleading before him commenc
ed: My lord, my unfortunate client
-f- ' then stopped, hemmed, hawed,
hestiated. Again he. began: 'My.lord.
my most unfortunate client- . An
other stop, more hemming and confu
sion. 'Pray go on, sir said the Chief Bar
on. 'So far thecourt is with you.'
In those days, before competitive ex
aminations were known, men with more
interest than brains got good appoint
ments, for the duties of which they were
wholly incompetent. Of such was the
Honorable . : He was telling
Lord Guillamore of the summary way
in which hti disposed of matters in his
coujt.
'I say to the fellows that are bother
ing.with foolish aguments, that there's
no use in wasting my time ana tneir
breath, for that all they say goes in at
one year and out at the other.'
N6 great wonder in that,' said O'-
Grady 'seeing that there's so little
,between to stop it.'
It was this worthy,' who, being at a
public dinner shortly after he got his
place, had his health proposed by a
waggish guest.
- 'I will 3ve you a toast, he said. 'The
Honorable - - and long may
he continue indifferently to administer
justice.
The , health was drunk with much
merriment, the object of it never per
ceiving what caused the fun.
Lord Gnillamore could tell a story
with, inimitable humor. He used to
vary his voice according to the speak
ers, and act as if it were the scene .he
was describing in a way infinitely di
verting. Very droll was his mimicry of
a dialogue between the guard of the
mail and a mincing old lady with whom
he once traveled from Cork to Dublin,
in the old coaching days.
The coach had stopped to change
horses, and the guard,. a big, red faced,
jolly man, beaming with good humor
and civility, came bustling up to the
window to see if the 'insidea' wanted
an thing.
'Guard!' whispered the old ladyl
'Well, ma'm, what can I do for you?'
'Could you' in a faint voice 'could
you get me a glass of water?
'To be sure, ma'am; with all the plea
sure in life.
'And guard 1' still f aintex-Td -hem
I'd a-like it hot.'
'Hot water! Oh, all right, ma'am!
Why not, if it's plazing to you?'
With a lump of sugar, guard, if you
please.
By all manner of means, ma'am.
' 'And and guard, dear.'as the
man turning to go away 'a small bit
of lemon, and a little just a thimble
fulof spirits through it.'
Och, isn't that punch!' shouted the
guard. 'Where's the use of beating
about the bush? Couldn't you have
asked out for a tumbler of punch at
once, ma'am, like a man?'
Another favorite story was of a trial
at Quarter Sessions in Mayc, which de
veloped some ot the ingenious resour
ces of Paddy when he choose to exer
cise his talent in an endeavor not to
pay. A doctor had summoned a man
for the sum of one guinea, due for at
tendance on the man's wife. The .doc
tor proved his case, and. was about to
retire triumphant, when the defendant
humbly begged leave to ask him a
few questions. Permission was granted
and the following dialogue took place.
Defendant Docthor, you remember
when I called on you?"
Doctor I do.
Defendant 'What did I say?
; Doctor 'You said your wife was sick
and you wished me to go and see her
Dt feudant 'What did you sav?
Doctor 'I said I voulid, if you'd pay
me my fee' .
Ix feudant Ybat did I say?'
Doctor You said youd pay me the
fee if so be you knew. what it was.'
Defendant-' What did yori say?
Doctor I said Yd take the guinea at
first, and maybe more at the end, ac-,
sordi ng to the sickness. '
Defendant 'Now, docthor; by. var
tue of your oath, didn't I say: 'Kill or
cure, I'll give you a guinea?' And did
'nt you say: 'Kill or cure, I'll take it?"
Doctor r'You did; and I agreed to
the bargain. And I want the guinea,
accordingly.'
Defendant Xow, docthor, by vartue
of your oath answer this: Did you cure
Doctor No; she3 dead. You know
that.'
Defendant 'Then docthor, by vartue
of your oath answer this: Did you kill
my wife?
Doctor 'No; she died of her illness.'
Defendant (to the bench) Your
worship, see this. You heard him tell
our bargain. It was to kill or cure.
By vartue of his path, he done neither!
and he axes the fee!'
The verdict,, however, went against
poor pat, notwithstanding his ingenui-
ty. .
Something like the. following story
has been told before. It will, however,
bear repetitition. Mr. F- :
-, clerk of
the crown for Limerick, Was over six
feet high and stout in proportion. He
was the dread of the cabmen, and if
their horses could have spoken, they
would not have blessed him. : '
One day, when driving in the neigh
borhood of Dublin, they came to a long
and steep hill. Cabby got down, and
walking alongside the cab, looked sig
nificantly in at the windows. 'His hon
or knew very well what he meant; but
,the day was hot, and he was lazy and
fat, and had no notion of taking the
hint and getting out to ease the horse
while 'larding the earth himself .
At last Paddy changed his tactics.
Making a rush at the cab, he suddenly
opened the door and then slammed it
to with a tremendous bang.
What's that for?' roared Mr. 4
startled at the man's violenco and the
loud report.
WThist, yer honor! don't say a word!'
whispered Paddy, putting his finger on
his lips.
'But what do you mean, sirrah?' cried
the. fare. !
'Arrah, can't ye hush, sir? Spako
low now, do. Sure, tis letting on;I
am to'the-little mare that yer honor's
got out to walk. Don't let her hear
you, and the craythur'll have more
heart to face the hill if she thinks you
are not inside, and that 'tis only s the
cab that's throubling her.
THE SACK OF EARTH.
A rich man had cheated a poor widow
out of a field which had t belonged to
her husband, and which was the only
property she had, in order to make his
own garden larger. A day. or two after
the poor woman met him in that very
field with an empty .sack in her hand:
With tears in her eyes she said to him,
Sir, I wish you would give me as much
earth out of this field as would fill this
sack. The man laughed and said; I
oan't refuse such a foolish wish aa
that The widow, filled the sack with
earth, and then said, 'And now, sir, I
am going to ask you to help me to lift
this on to my shoulder.'
The man had no wish to do this, but
the- widow begged him so hard that he
was obliged to give way. But when' he
tried - to lift the sack, he found it too
heavy for bjim to move. He told tho
widow so, and she eaid, 'Oh, sir if you
find only one sack of earth too heavy,
how will you be able to bear the weight
of this field, which holds ten thousand
times as much earth, upon your con
science at the day of judgement? The
man trembled at these words, and gave
her land back to her again.
Uoctor and-Preacher.
Dr. Louis of New Orleans, who is
something of a wag, called on a colored
Baptist minister, and propounded a few
puzzling questions. 'Why is it,' said
he, 'that you are not able to do the
miracles that the apostles ! did?' They
were protected against all poisons and
all kinds of perils. How is it that you
are not protected in the sane way?'
The colored brother responded prompt
ly, 'Don't know about that, doctor; I
s'pect I is. I've tcken a mighty sight
of strong medicine from! you, doctor,
and I is alive yet.' j

a beggars rags.
