An enterprising paper at St. Louis sent eight repot tasra to cutioiso Airs Laugtiy, the number including several fair critics, who were directed to dual ef)cai.illy with the actress' looks and costumes. Hokvck W.vu'olk tolls a story of a Lord Mayor of London, in his time who, .having hoard that a friend had had the ismall-pox twice, and died of it, inquuv.d jif he died the first time; or the second. A Vr.TKHW was relating his exploits to a crowd of boys and mentioned being in five engagements. " I hat is nothing." in a little fellow ; " ins sister iS.n all's been engiged oleven time-*.''

As abtonished tildermau has received a letter from a constituent, beginning, " Dear and lioneft sir." The letter w.is immediately ictiuned to the post-olnoe, endoised " Opened bv mistake by Aid. ." Two years since, Miss Carrie Thomas, of Varysburg, Wyoming county, N. V., accidently swallowed a needle and as it gave her no pain or trouble the incident had escaped her mind. A few weeks since she felt a pricking sensation in one of her knees, and examining the spot, discovered the needle, and extracted it. The channel tunnel scheme is vigorously agitated, with a view to seeming concessions in its f.ivonr. By tho one mile and a quarter boie on the French side, the French engineeis have shown they can pioeecd to Dover at the late of 132 ft daily. This would complete a galleiy the whole way acioss in a little over eighteen months. French enthusiasm on the subject takes no account of the English opposition.

Smuggling is conducted by a gang of Swiss and Italians, who, when ariested, pay their fines fiom a common fund. They arc aided in their opeiations by trained do^s. Ax old- farmer, A. J. Wing, was frightened to death at Somcrville, Ohio, The boys knowing he was in mortal fear of a negro who threatened to shoot him, for a practical joke, had one of their number concealed near where he was passing and filed a shot. Wing ran a short distance and diopped dead. An verdict of died fiom fatty degeneiation of the heart, was found at the inquest. Spoimd Milk.— No one who uses either cotton or linseed cako for their milch cows need be much Miipiised if the produce is not all that could be desiied. The bad effects in the case of cotton cake may not be so strongly maiked as to be at once apparent, though they will be there all the same, waiting for some favounng ciicumstanees to develop them. But a mote unsuitable tood hi the pro duetior. of pmo sweet milk and butter, of good keeping quality, than linseed cake, could luudly bo de\i-ed.

L.O.S. in .hpivulin nl Uazith Comdin'xxo Duvj:klvt Foddkbs —It is customaiy on many turns to feed tho c^tle entirely upon one kind of lrny, .such asclovor for ln-tmce, until that h gone, and, then begin upon anothei kind. In oaso clover alone is fed, tho animal-, receive a much, larger amount of protein or albuminoids then then 1 sj.st'ins lequire, and consequently, the o.xccsn is throwujeft in tho manure and waited. If instead of fowling on Jolover entirely, a portion of straw, poor hay, such a« thai glows on Wet meadow's or com stalk*, vveie mixed with it the cattle ini^ht bo maintained in equ.dly as good condition at a los 00-t, some of the poorer kinds of fodder being made to take the pi >cc of p.u t of tho clover. Thi.s point is well lllustiatod by an cxpeiiinent mado at Moeekein, in (Jynnmy. Four cows vveie fed during a peiiod of several weeks with alt the green clover they would eat, .I'liounting to one hundred and tvventy-tlneo pounds pci d iy, containing five and six-tenths pounds of albuminoids and fifteen pounds of oaibohydrates. Dining another period, they ■wore fed with eiyhty-so\on jmuiids of green clover and six and seven-tpulhs pounds of b uley straw d uh r , containing throe and three-tenths pounds ofalbuminoidH and seventeen and eu'ht-ienths pounds of caibo-hydrat's The lesult was that cows while fed with tho clover and straw gave as much milk, which was as lich in butter and enspm as they did when fed on clover only. Tho cost of the milk when the cow weio fed on clover alone was fifty pel cent, more than when they were fed on the clovei and straw mixture Here was a saving of about onethird in the cost of milk simply by combining straw and gi eon clover instead of feeding clover alone. When the clovei alone was feed theic was was neaily two pounds of albuminoids per day fed to each cow moie than was needed, and this was wasted, thus increasing the cost of the milk, tho albuminoids being the most costly elements of food. No farmer can feed profitably when such a waste of fodder is taking place — yew Euyland Farmer, Rats avd Mk'K.— lf you wish to destroy tlicm get a p icket of 11 n I '% II v<a( Yi'rmin Xi i i i r in p.if ki is, (id, Oil, and Is, to hi' obtained of all storckoepi rs, or fiom i. 15.
