When Mina woke, it was to hear strange noises in. the apartment beeath her. Listening she could hear a conversa tion carried on in low, deep-toned whispers. She could hear mention made of gold,, of silver and of bank notes. A strange feeling of awe crept over her, which was intensified by the lateness of the hour, and she quietly rose and left the room. She had no very definite idea as to what course she should take in order to re trace her steps homeward, and merely walked along in hopes of meeting some one who would help her find the way. The first person met was a big, burly policeman, who accosted her in such gruff tones that she trembled witt fright. "I am lost.' Mina ex plained, in answer to her new ac quaintance's question.

' Th man clutched the child's arm until she cried. " What are you say in', child ?" said he, stooping and looking Mina closely in her terrified face. " Show me the house !" Mina was glad to escape that terrible clutch, and turning with the watch man, retraced her step3 back to J the building in which she had recently been " This is it," said Mina, when the house was reached, but the watchman did not enter, though the door was yet open. He listened, heard the whisperings below, and seizing Mina in his arms as if he had been a feather, started rapidly off with her. " You needn't cry," the man taid, with a touch of softness in his gruff voice. "You will De tasen uome, for you have done a good night's work, my lass. Only now you must come with me to the station, for I must get a lot of men down here in a jiffy, and after that I'll see that yer taken home." And so he did, but not until long after the cold, gray dawn had broken upon the whitened house-tops and streets of the city, and until he and some other watchman had taken her to an elegant residence on one of the fashionable thorough fares up town, where they presented her to a kind-faced gentleman, who owned the establishment.

When General Jackson was a can didate for the Presidency in not only did the party opposed to him abuse him for his public acts, which, if unconstitutional or violent, were a legitimate subject for reprobation, but they defamed the character of his wile. On one occasion a newspaper published in Nashville was placed upon the General's table. He glanced over it, and his eyes fell upon an aiti ia in which the character of Mrs Jackson was violently assailed. So soon as he had read it he sent for his trusty old servant, Dunwoodie. " Saddle my horse," said he to him, in a whisper, "and put my holsters on him." Mrs. Jackson watched him, and though she heard not a word she saw mischief in his eyes. The uenerai went out after a few m6ments, when she took up the paper and understood everything. She ran out to the south gate of tbe yard of the Hermitage, by which the General would nave to pass. She had not been there njore than a few s eonds before the General rode up with the countenance of a mad man. She placed herseir berore me horse, and cried out : " O, General, don't go to JS ashvine : Let that poor editor live: J-iet mat poor editor live?" " Let me alone," he replied, "now came you to know what I was going for?" She answered : " I saw it if the paper after you went out ; put up your horse and go back." He replied, furiously; " But I win go get out of my way 1" Instead of this she grasped his Driaie with both hand?. He cried to her : " I eay let go my horse ! The villain that revues my wife shall not Uve !" She grasped the reins but the tighter and began to expostulate with him, j avine that she was theone whoougnt to be angry, but that she forgave her persecutors from the bottom 01 ner heart, and prayed tor them that he should forgive if he hoped to he ror- . . 1 t 1 .

A prominent New York lawyer confidentially informs us that during his experience he has never met with a divorce case but what there was a woman in it. It is useless for physicians to argue against short-sleeved dresses. The Constitution of the United States says : " The right to bear arms shall not be interfered with." " The sassyest man I ever met," cays Josh Billings, "is a henpecked husband when he is away from home. Nature seldom makes a phool ; she simply furnishes the raw materials and lets the fellow finish the job to suit himself." Charles Gounod once told a young artist that as he grew in his art he would grow in his appreciation of the old masters. " At your age," he said, " I used to say ' I ; at twenty-five, I and Mozart;' at forty, 'Mozart and t;' now I say only Mozart.' " "The wolf changes its hair every year, but remaining a wolf," says a Russian proverb. Nothing very re markable about that. A woman some times changes her hair ax ofjen as two or three times a day, and ttill remains a woman. Let the Russians switch off to something worth mentioning when they want to compose proverbs.

"And now we will go to nr home." the gentleman said to Mina, assisting her to the door and into the carriage. In another moment they were rattling over the cobbles to ward the poor quarter.

It is estimated that the wear and waste is equal o ten per cent., which wonld how the original invest ment in thfse seven StaUs to be con siderably above $100,000,000, all of which must be included 1h the oont of raising the crops. Some of the States named are among the newer ones, where lands are being rapidly settled up ; but the cost o maintaining fences in older States is large. It is estimated that the annual State and county taxes on farms in th. Rtt of Nw York amount to thirty-three cents per acre, while the annual tax occasioned by fences amounts to $1.12J per acre. From the above figures it will be Been, as th Prairie Farmer has often shown, that the fence queeti n is a very important . . . 1 1 . to farming interests, ana iu n bearing upon the cost of farm produc- lions, mt without interest to the com mercial world. E timates made from the best data obtainable have indicat ed that tbe cost of fences in the United States exceeds tbe entire value of the live stock of the country, including horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. Out of .hi statement, based upon informa tion giving color tn its probability, has rown the discussion relating to a uoi-i-hing fences altogether, and adopting the methods of France and Belgium in herding stock; and the herd laws on the statute books of some of our Western States are the result. But In this country, the .ime Is far distant when the French and Belgium pln will be generally adopted. The cir cumstances that govern the question there are widely, different from those 1 hat would decide it in very many sec tions of the United State. The completion of the census report will furnish statistics which cannot fail to be of great value in shedding light upon this important subject. Aa between " fencing in" and " fencing out" to keep fetock from doing dam age to the crops, the rule will continue 0 all m. to be,' to fence it out, esreciany wutu the price of barbed or thorn wire re duces the cost so much below rail, board, or hedge fences. Dairy Stock. The selection of dairy stock Is a sub ject which is being constantly discuss ed, and the conclusions as to breed certainly are as different ma they ever were. With the exception of the Jersey, whl n in some sect ions can be made ex rfedinblv profitable of which there is no doubt in any mind -the admirers of all the other breeds claim for them exceptional dairy qualities, and those who have never indulged in breeding blooded stock are as enthusiastically in favor of the native. But there are general charaoterist ic of a good m ilker NUMBER 3. Soldiers and Sailors Home- Steads, - The first requirement is that the person has served for ninety days In the army, navy, or marine corps of the United States during the rebellion, has remained loyal to the government, and has been honorably discharged. The next privilege such soldier or sai lor hat is: "such homestead tettler hall be allowed, six muntha ftr -oating his homestead, and filing his declaratory statement, within which to make his entry, and commence his settlement and improvement." The time the settler has served in the army, navy, or marine corps shall be deducted from the time heretofore re quired to perfeoM.it e: or if discharged on account of woundu received or dis ability Incurred in the line of duty, then the term of enlistment shall be deducted from the time heretofore re quired to perfect title, without refer ence to the length of time he may have served : " But no patent shall issue to any homestead settler who baa not resided upon, improved and culti vated his homestead for a period of at least one year after he shall have commenced hia improvements." No matter what persons aay, who swlicit the privilege of locating homesteads in the name of soldiers and sailors, at considerable expense, hen there is no prospect of settling on the land se lected, soldiers and sallora will observe the Important requirement of ai least one year's actual bona fide residence and cultivation of the homestead. Respecting the nve-year homestead, the homestead law say : By making an entry, an inceptive right is vested in the aettler, aud his final title de pends on bis nsideiue upon, aul cul tivation of. the land embraced in his claim. Thia residence and cubivatiou must oon'inue five yeart. unless be was a s. Idler or sailor in the late war or if be prefers to pay for his laud, or at private entry, he may sfter six months' settlement and cultivation, make the necessary proof. This early payment Is called eonimuting home stead entry. Suth homestead settler (an ex-soldier or sailor) shall be allow ed alx.months after locnting bis bonie etend, and filing his declaratory state ment, wlihin which to make entry and commence his settlemvut and im nrovement. Another point is covered by rulings of the department, as fol lows: After a soldier has resided on hla homestead long enuh to make his military service five years, further residence is unnecessary to secure pat ent.

If she has this she will have a large stomach and large lungs and plenty of heart room, which indicate a strong conaUtution and vigorous organa. But this is not all, nor is it the most important. Many a cow consumes and digests a great deal of food, but it is turned into fat instead of beiusr converted into milk. In such cases it will almost iavari-bly be noticed that the cow has a small udder. If the udder, on the other hand, Is large. It Is fair to conclude tbat nature has provided it for the purpose of holding milk, and that sue will fill It. One dairyman says that if the udder extends beyond tbe thighs and weir up behind, well forward, moderately broad and deep, wiiii good sUe teats, well apart, skin soft and thiu, it may coonuenny red that we have a dairy cow of tbe first order.
