The Great Cow Case*
Rollins 7 cow, it seems, while feeding
on the common, got through a place,
alleged by the defendant to have been
purposely left open, in the fence of
McGlue’s garden. She did some dam
age, but was driven out, and when
McGlue remonstrated with Rollins
about the predatory and incendiary
tendency of his cow, Rollins replied
with declamatory and unparliamentary
language. Thereupon McGlue went up
'and sued him for trespass, and swore
to push the case to the last extremity.
McGlue’s lawyer, Poddery, went right
to work, and when Rollins heard
about it, he got his lawyer, Hopkins, to
bring a countersuit for conpsiracy to
entrap the cow.
McGlue then told Poddery to open
out a second suit for damages done to
eight fence raiiings and a post by Rol
lins 7 cow, and Rollins also made afresh
start in another suit against McGlue,
in which he claimed $15 for the ruin of
his cow’s horn by McGlue’s grape ar
bor. This seemed to McGlue so auda
cious that he ordered Poddery to in
clude in his claim the market price of
four cabbages and a bunch of parseley
that the cow ate. He said he would
have let them go as of no account, if
Rollins hadn’t proved himself such a
conscienceless scoundrel.
But this last movement exasperated
Rollins to such a degree that he went
over and got old Mrs. Muldoony tQ
make an affidavit that she saw McGlue
milking the cow while it was on his
ground, in the wash boiler. Armed
with this affidavit, llopkins had
McGlue arrested, and he was held in
security to answer a charge of petty lar
ceny.
When McGlue called to ask Poddery
what should be done now, that eminent
lawyer was out buying a house with
the fees that he had already accrued
from the great cow case. Hopkins, at
that moment, was paying off ail old
mortgage with his fees.
When Poddery came in, he said
things had now reached a crisis.
McGlue’s clear duty was to throw him
self upon his country and stamp out
this fiend who wa$ pursuing him with
malignant Jury.
After talking it over for an hour,
Poddery took out the papers in another
suit, which McGlue accused Rollins of
breach of the peace in permitting his
cow to wake Mrs. McGlue’s baby in the
very crisis of the mumps, by its “moo
ing;” and still another in which
McGlue claimed compensation for the
brick which he heaved at the cow, and
for the manual labor expended in the
effort.
Rollins retaliated by arresting
McGlue for corrupting the morals of
Rollins’ boy, Jim, by the use of pro
fane and scandalous language while he
was striving to eject the cow.
As soon as McGlue entered bail, he
told the squire that he would call in
the morning to enter suit against Rol
lins for permitting his cow to butt
down McGlue’s pig-pen.
Rollins overheard him, and at once
made an affidavit, stating that the
shock of the encounter with the pig
pen had given the cow brain fever and
so deranged her mind and so unstrung
her nervous system that she was now
in the habit of coming homeward, up
the hill, tail foremost, in such a man
ner as to excite general derision.
The two suitors le f t the squire’s of
fice together. As they passed through
the doorway, Rollins jostled McGlue’s
elbow. McGlue jostle 1 back again,
and Rollins struck him. They clinch
ed.
It was an awful combat, and each
was taken home on a shutter and put
to bed.
A week later friends brought them
together and made up the quarrel and
the suits were all withdrawn.
A fortnight afterward, Poddery dis.
trained McGlue for his fees, and left
him an empty house.
On the same day, Hopkins sold Rol
lins out cow and all, and he had to be
gin the world clean over again.
Both of them think they will be
calmer when they have another cow-
case.
that the discoverer was only trying to
hoax some one into making a fruitless
trip into the mountain. No credence
was given to the story until lately,
when responsible parties visited the
designated locality of its existence and
reported its actual discovery. On the
north side of the mountain, about
quarter of an acre is covered with
mass of loose, unstratified rook, none
of which are of any considerable size,
All was covered with a heavy mass of
moss, which now is all torn off. No
trees grow upon it, only here and there
a few r small bushes. Removing the
loose rock, ice is discovered in small
quantities. A thermometer stood 90
degrees in the sun, 86 degrees in the
shade and 48 degrees when placed in
the rock, on the ice in their crevices
A cold air is present in the crevices?
but no strong freezing currents are re
ported. Hundreds have visited
The rocks are torn up and the ice is
only obtained now by going down
some little depth in the rocks. We
would suppose from observation that
the mountain is a vast heap of rock,
portion of whose left side is more
broken or loose than the rest. The
porous nature of this portion w’ould ad
mit through its moss covering a con
siderable amount of water, infiltrating
between the stone, would form ice in
just the manner w'e find it. The ice
just formed would be protected from
all external temperature by the non
conducting properties of the vast sur
rounding mass of rock. The ice moun
tain, we would suppose, is nothing but
a huge natural stone refrigerator. The
common refrigerator depends for its
preservation of ice upon the good non
conducting materials of its sides. So
the ice mountain would naturally,
though wonderfully, preserves perma
nently its ice by the vast amount of
rock—good non-conducting material—
which forms its sides.

Indian Barbarity.
It is well known that some of the In
dian tribes of America have a habit of
killing horses when their chiefs and
medicine men die and in some instances
the departing braves’ wives have been
dispatched to bear them company to
the happy hunting grounds. When
the celebrated Ute chief Walker died,
in the northern part of Indian Terri
tory, a good many years ago, a whole
band of horses were slain by his war
riors. But heretofore no one had sup
posed that the Indians of this section
had interest enough in the future life
to prepare an escort for their departing
braves. The death of a buck near To-
quervllle a short time ago shows that
the oJd chief who begs biscuits at
that settlement is blooded. He forwith
decided to kill a squaw to accompany
his favorite warrior, but the squaw-
getting a hint of her intended funeral,
hid herself so effectually, that no clue
could be got of her whereabouts. As
the time allowed for the sacrifice was
rapidly passing, the old chief, in order
not to be defeated, selected a three year
old papoose, which he took from its
mother, and buried it in the grave of
the deceased. The head of the child
was left projecting above the ground,
so that it could breath, but he allowed
no one to go near it till Bishop Britig-
hurst. discovering a commotion in the
tribe, traced out the cause and saved
the life of the child after it had been in
the situation described, two or three
days. The mother of the child was
afraid to tell what had happened,
though she was observed to be grief-
stricken. The Toquerville people
thought seriously of burying the old
Lam&nite w'ith his head the other way,
but he insisted the religion of the
Plutes required him to do what he had
done. •
An Ice Mountain.
The ice mountain of Preston County,
W. V. is a great natural curiosity. We
went to Rowelsburg. then by steam
three miles up Cheat River past Vicks
burg, and out upon the Northwestern
pike. Following it two miles west we
came to the ice mountain, situated on
the right hank of Flag run, one-half
mile from the pike, A picnic party
was being held at the base of the moun
tain. After refreshing ourselves with
a very cold drink of water from the
Twin Springs, we ascended the side of
the mountain for some distance and
arrived at the ice field, w’here we
found Drs. Kemble, West, Shafer and
Schooley contemplating the wonder.
It is claimed that the ice mountain was
discovered by some soldier in the spring
of 1864. Its discovery was afterward
reported again but persons supposed
Picking her way through the wagons
and vehicles that crowded Chestnut
and Main streets, St. Louis, an old
w'rinkled-faced woman, neatly dressed
in a light calico dress and w hite apron
entered the Ch estnut street police sta-
sion, and, approaching the office railing
asked of Sergeant Watkins with a true
Kentucky accent:
“Have you seen my lost child, cap
tain ?”
The evident fact that the woman was
at least forty years beyond the usual
age of the mothers of “lost children”
somewhat puzzled Sergeant Watkins,
who however, overcame his astonish
ment sufficiently to ask:
What is your daughter’s name?”
Beckey Raney,” answered the worn
an.
“And her age?”
“Seventy years,” again she promptly
answered.
“What is your name?”
“Jane Raney.”
“How old are you?”
“One hundred and seventeen.”
“And are you looking for your lost
child who is seventy years old? w
“Yes, captain, you see Becky will go
on sprees. Last Friday my gal went
to the dispensary to get some medi
cine, and neyer come home since. She
will go on sprees.
Sergeant Watkins informed Jane
that the officers had brought in no
“young one” of that mime and age.
After finishing her business with the
sergeant the reporter approached her
and the following conversation en
sued :
“How old did you say you were?”
“One hundred and seventeen.”
“And your lost daughter Becky?”
“Seventy.”
“Why you do not look so old—you
have all your teeth yet.”

I’ve got three husbands buried at Al
ton. When I came to St. Louis, a long
while ago, thar were no steamboats and
thar were only log cabins here. I’m

morning, and I bought bread with it.
I only had coffee and sugar myself. I

Saving Fences.—This is an item that
should be carefully estimated, as it is
one of the heaviest burdens of agricul
ture. Fences are needed only to re
strain stock; and if the stock is not
pastured no fence is needed, except for
yards, and perhaps a lane to lead the
cattle to the wood lot for simple exer
cise. Take the fact ot fenciug ninety
acres into four fields, for pasturing
thirty cows or cattle. These fields
would be 22j>£ acres, and would require
720 rods ot fence. Now, if this fence
cost only $1 per rod, and if we suppose
it to last twenty years, then the decay
will amount to five per cent, a year,
and the labor of annual repair is gener
ally estimated at five per cent. The in
terest on the original cost at seven per
cent, would be $50.40, and the ten per
cent, for decay and repair $72, making
$122.40 as the annual expense for fenc
ing a pasture for thirty head of cattle.
We shall see that this is more than the
coat of labor for soiling the thirty head
of stock, Mr. David Williams carefully
prepared the fence statistics of Wal
worth couuty, Wisconsin, and, after
deducting for waste lands in ponds and
lakes and one-half of the division fences,
he makes the annual cost for the whoie
county about $1 per. acre. Mr. Prince,
of Maine, goes into an elaborate calcu
lation of the cost of fenees in that State
in 1760, and the result does not vary
much from an annual cost of $1 per
acre. The late Ezra Cornell took a
great interest in studying this question,
and gave his views in au address before
the State Agricultural Society of New
York in 1862, and he arrived at the con
clusion that the average cost of fencing
for every acre inclosed in that btateis
$1 per annum. If then we take this as
a fair estimate in the older States, every
acre of tiie farm must be charged at
this rate, or a farm of 300 acres, which
usually keeps about 60 head of cattle,
would pay a fenee tax of $300 in labor
and material. The smaller the farm
and the smaller the lots the greater the
cost of fence per acre.
Draining Land.—Draining plays a
very important part in successful and
profitable farming. No matter how
much fertilizing matter you may put
on a field, and how well you may at
tend to the crops you may plant therein,
if the place needs draining you will get
but meagre and unprofitable crops; lor
the land will remain wet, soggy and
sour during the wet weather, and will
bake hard and solid on the surface dur
ing the hot summer months, both of
which are opposed to rapid plant
growth. The drain tile now so much
n use is by far the best; for it lasts in
finitely longer than wood, brush or
stone drains commonly put in, though
it may cost more to put such a drain
down properly, the tiles, though not
very expensive, making up quite a sum
when a large piece is to be drained. It

Five Ways to Remove Mildew from
Linen.—(1) Wet the spot with lemon ..
juice, then spread over it soft soap and us, officer?
chalk mixed together, and spread where'
the hottest rays of the sun will beat
upon it for half an hour. If not en
tirely removed, repeat the operation.
Or wet with clear lemon juice and lay
in the sun; or soak for an hour or two
and then spread in the sun. Or mix
softsoap, powdered starch and half as
much salt together, and moisten
freely with lemon juice; spread this on
both si es of the spots and lay in the
sun. As soon as it is dry repeat the
operation, and continue till the spots
disappear. If newly spotted, one wet
ting will be sufficient. Or* wet the
spots with chloride of lime dissolved in
water, spread in the sun a few minutes
aud then rinse. Repeat in case the mil
dew is not all removed, but do not let
this preparation remain more than a
few minutes at a time before rinsing,
even if the process ha3 to be repeated
several times, as the chloride of lime
will injure the cloth if allowed to re
main on it too long. (2.) A solution of
chloride of lime is the only thing I
have ever found to have any "effect on
that ugly and tenacious stain. A tea
spoonful of dry chloride to a quart of
soft water will give about the necessary
strength. Soak the article in the solu
tion from ten to twenty minutes, then
dry in the sun. Repeat the process till
the stain disappears. The timereauired
will of course depend on the intensity
of the stain. If very deep and of long
standing, a little stronger solution may
be required. (3). Get thedryest chlo
ride of lime you can buy, and, for
strong fabrics, dissolve four table-
spoonfuls of it in one pint of water.
Let the mildewed article lie in this so
lution for fifteen minutes. Take it out,
wring it gently, aud put immediately
in weak muriatic acid, one part acid and
four parts water. For delicate fabrics,
the solution of lime should be much
weaker; three or four times the quan
tity of water should be put to the lime.
Let the article lie in it only five min
utes, and then put it into the muriatic
acid. Instantly wash thoroughly in
cold water. (4). Take five cents’worth
of lime, dissolve it in a pail ol water,
and put in the cloths; let them remain
three or four hours, then wash, and the
mildew will all disappear. (5). Rub
well with soap, then scrape fine chalk
and rub it also on the cloth; lay it on
the grass; as it dries, wet a little. It
will ’ome out after twice repeating the
operation.

Owing to a dry season the trees made a
handsome growth. The season follow
ing being a wet one the trees did very
poorly, and the year after this a few of
them died. In the fall of the latter year,
suspecting the cause, several thousand
tiles were bought—three-inch ones—
and the piece thoroughly drained. The
spring after this was done the trees
made an early and vigorous start, and
iiave since not only borne heavy crops
of fine fruit, but have also made good,
healthy growths of wood and foliage.
So much for the result of drainage.

he scratched his head. “Well, now, I
can’t recollect whether he said it w’as
in the mud or Y on the ice, but the next
time I see him 1 11 have a pencil
handy!”
During the session of a temperance
meeting in a neighboring town, one of
the persons who occupied the stage was
an enthusiastic deacon who frequently
interrupted the speaker by yelling
“Thank Heaven for that!” One gen
tleman was called npon who arose and
said : “Ladies and gentlemen, I am
heart and soul in the cause and feel
that it will be of great benefit to the
people of this place.” “Thank heaven
for that!” yelled the deacon. “But,
ladies aud gentlemen,” he continued,
“1 am going to say that it will be im
possible for me to address you this even
ing”—“Thank heaven for that!” said
the absent-minded man; and then the
chairman took him out of doors and
had two men sit on him.
A little fellow rushed into the
street recently to look at a monkey
that accompanied an organ-grinder who
was playing in front of an adjoining
block. Never having perused the “Ori
gin of Man.” he gazed in wonder aud
admiration for a lew moments, and
then rushing into the house he met his
grandmother, to whom he addressed
this question: “Grandmother, who
made monkeys?” “Got], my boy,”
replied the old ladv in her candid way.
“Well,” said the excitable grandson in
rejoinder, “I’ll bet God laughed when
he got the first monke y done.”
At the French Bazar in the Albert
Hall, London, a lady was dispensing
tea. A solemn gentleman approached
and asked the price of a cup. “One
shilliing,” replied the lady, and he put
down a shilling. Before handing him
the enp the lady raised it to her lips
and observed that the price was now a
sovereign. The solemn gentleman
gravely replaced his shilling and said
“Be good enough to give me a clean
cup.”
A Missouri man called on a Missouri
editor to protest against something
that had been in the paper. “Did you
find Mr. Smith in?” inquired agentle-
man as he came out in extreme haste.
“Can you look at my face and ask me
that?” said the man indignantly. “J
beg your pardon,” replied the gentle
man, “but I thought I was talking to
the back of your head.” The intelligent
reader will understand.
A young man dressed in the height
of fashion, and with a poetic turn of
mind, was driving along a country
road, and, upon gazing at a pond which
skirted the highway, said: “Oh, how
I would like to lave my heated head in
those cooling waters.” An Irishman,
overhearing the exclamation, imme
diately replied : “Bedad, you might
lave it there and it would not sink.”
No Good Preacfiing.—No man can
do a good job of work, preach a good
sermon, try a law suit well, doctor a
atient, or write a good article when
e feels miserable and dull, with slug
gish brain and' unsteady nerves, and
none should make the attempt in such
a condition when it can be so easily
and cheaply removed by a little Hop
Bitters. &ee other column.
Jones, the supernumerary, has to
enter from the right and say; “My
lord, the carriage waits.” Certain
changes having to be made, the stage
manager informs Jones he w2J have ro

riage |awaits, my lord.” “My !”
Jones exclaims, in piteous accents;
“more study ! more study!”
Large sales indicate the merits of all
good articles. Druggists sell more of
Dr. Bull’s Syrup than of all other rem
edies for the cure of Baby Disorders.
Can Files be Cored
is the most important question to-day with
suffering millions who, when Moking at the
long list of useless pile nostrums feel as the
afflicted Bible Patriarch, like exclaiming : “I
hare heard many such things, miserable com
forters are ye all, how long will ye vex my soul
and break me in pieces with words?” It is not
recorded that Job bad piles, bnt he could not
have had anything more painful, and the same
question might have been asked then as since
for three thousand years : can piles be cured f
We believe that Dr.Silsbee has solved the prob
lem. for nothing is more certain than tliat his
“Anakesitj,” does absolutely and promptly cure
the worst cases of piles. When half a million
of afflicted assert positively that it has cured
them aud in 20 years no one has used the doc
tor's wonderful remedy without instant relief,
and by following his simple instructions as to
habit and diet were, beueiitted and over 95
par cent cured, all arguments and theories of
those who havn't used them,- go for naught.
An a kerns is now prescribed by physicians of
all schools and has been pronounced as near
infallible as is possible. ' it is easily applied,
perfectly safe, instantly relieves pain, and ul
timately cures the most inveterate cases. It
has grandly solved the problem that Piles can
be cured. Samples of “Anakeoia" are sent
free to all sufferers, on application to P. Neu-
staedter & Co, sole manufacturers of Anake-
sis, Box 3946 New York. Also sold by drug
gists everywhere. Price per box.

The Forgetfulness of People.
The Oxford Professor who, to avoid

around, but forgot to turn back, and
walked six miles into the country, was
no more forgetful than those who still
use the huge, drastic, cathartic pills,
forgetting that Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant

coated, and little larger than mustard
seeds, are a positive and reliable cathar
tic, readily correcting all irregularities
of the stomach, liver and bowels. Sold

When the grain is cut the Kansas
Farmers show great differences in the
handling of the crop. Some stack the
wheat, allowing it to thoroughly sweat
in the stack before threshing. Many
others, equally well informed, allow
the grain to stand in the stack until
perfectly dry, and then thresh from the
shock. Still others thresh from the
heads if the weather be favorable. The
millers prefer grain that has been
sweated in the straw, claiming that the
rheat has got to go through this pro
cess either in the straw, in the bin or
in the flour; and they prefer to have
it sweat before they grind it. The
word ‘sweat’ is used to denote a pecul
iar process The straw on the stack
becomes damj, and the wheat that was
‘off color” or bleached before stack
ing, has its color restored. Shriveled
wheat becomes plumper. In about
four weeks after stacking, tbe wheat is
through the “sweat,” and is ready for
threshing. If it sweats in the bin, the
grain feels damp, and in unfavorable
weather heats. A job of threshing m
the summer is dreaded by ail men; but
the work has to be done. The- cheap
est way to do it is with a separator,
driven by ten or twelve horses. These
machines will thres and clean from 400
to 800 bushels of wheat per day. The
horses march around in a circle. The
driver standing on top of the power
with a long whip in his hand, keeps up
constant yelling at the teams. The
circle the horses march on becomes
hard and 4 usty. The dust rises In vast
clouds, and is swept by the strong
winds, that blow constantly in Kansas,
to the machine and stacks. The feed
ers, two in number, alternate in feed
ing the unthreshed straw into the sep
arator. The man who is off w r ork, oils
the machine and keeps It in running
order. Tiie other, standing on a plat
form in front of the cylinder, grasps a
bundle, and with a deft movement
shakes it up and starts it into the iron-
toothed cylinder. A steady stream of
unthreshed straw is kept going into the
machine. At the other end of the sep
arator a loose mas3 of chopped straw is
climbing up the straw carrier, to be
dropped on the straw stack. Men
pitch the bundles to the machine. They
are w arm. The air is dense with dust.
The heat of the sun is terrific. Rap
idly the men become black with dust.
They speak only to demand water.
They work silently, steadily, until the
machine stops for some trifling repairs.
Then they throw themselves dovvh to
rest, but in an instant the voice of the
driver is heard, “Get up! get up!” The
horses strain, the cylinder turns, hums
softly as it gets speed, then roars loud
ly as it catches the full motion. Again
the air is thick with dust; again the
straw is being rapidly fed into the
hungry ironclad mouth of the sepa
rator. A man is seen to stagger, j
