A Colorado, Texas. despatch says : The Earl of Aylesiord was liked and piiied here at this centre of the cattlemen. He Was generally admired for his splendid pliysi ; cal appearance, and it was usual to speak ; of him as the “fiuest animal in Texas.” He seemed to be full of good nature, With- out choice as to his companions, deeplyj intimate with none, but on free and easy 1 terms with all. In business transactions ; he lacked sense. He put up $10,000 , earnest money for the purchase of a bunch : " of cattle some time ago without the slight- " est prorpect of being able to eimplete the l purchase, and the consequence was that he i lost his money. He won sympathy by this , transaction, because the generous cowmen l thought that he was too severely treated. i He owned a small lot of cattlei , near Big Springs, and lchd upon ‘ his ranch in a miserable little l V.pine house. He was a surprising , consumer of Whiskey and brandy, and when he began to drink he lost all regard for‘ money. His sprees were never marked by } violence, and he was always cared for by ' his more sober acquaintances. He dropped into the Texas style gracefully. and went about in a flmnel shirt, top boots, big spurs, leather leggings, sombrero and slicker.

There was something pathetic about his life here when he was sober. He wouli ride lot hours and , hours over the prairies all alone, and at night would walk about on his ranch look- ing up at the sky, as though in a reverie, unbroken save by the howl of the coyote. H6 was restless, and seemed to love as well as t) hate Eng)- land. He was anxious to become a cattle king, seeing the growth of the busi- ness all around him. but did not seem to be able to control any ltrga sum of money at one time. When he Went to England last year he said he was gomg to sacrifice his income for years for an advance large enough to enable him to go into the cattle business as he desired Tue cowboys were much attached to Aylesford.

On the night of December 313t,1883, three young men sat around a tavern fire in Georgetown, 9. little village about ten miles from Norwich, Conn. The three were intoxicated and were watching the old year out. As the clock struck 12 one of the young men said 1 “ B)ye, the new year is here; now let’s ewear off and form a temperance society.” The others, in a spirit of tun, agreed. The articles of association Were then and there drawn up They were similar to the rules of other temperance organizations, With one excep- tion. The clause containing the Il‘dgfl had the following penalty attached: “ And any one of us who shall drink any intoxicating liquor, fir any p'ir‘ pose whatsover, between now and mid- night of I):cember Elli-it, 1884, shall be tarred and feathered.” This clause becoming known gained the club the name of “The Tar and Feather Temperance Society." Meetings of the society of three were frequently held. Gradually applica- tion for membership began to pour in, and before six months had passed the society numbered thirty members. The year of abstinence expired on Tuesday night, and agrand ball was given. to which a ltrge number of the best people of the place were invned. The hall was filled. At midnight the President announced that the pledge had expired. By an unanimous Vite the pledge was renewed for another year, and some twenty new names were added to the roll. The peculiar penalty proves an attractive advertisement, and the matter is the talk of the neighborhood. Nearly every resident wears the society’s badge.

A schooner was finally fitted out and departed for the North to bring a load of ore to San Francisco for reduction, einoeit could be done here chesper than in Alaska. Mr. Lowry was also expected to return in the vessel. Weeks length- ened into months, however, and no tidings were received of the schooner or Lowry and his companions. All hope was finally given up, as it appeared certain the .vessel must have been lost on her return trip with all on board, and Lawry's will was admitted to probate, his wife and children mourning him as dead. A few days since, however, a. sailor visited Mrs. Lowry and told a. startling tale. On the Alaskan coast, above Sltko, a wrecked schooner had been diicovered. the bodies of four men being tound near by. Two others of the crew were discovered wander ing about crazed from starvation and ex- posure. “lbs description given of one indi- cates that he may be Mr. Lowry, and his wife, eagerly seizing the ides, is making energetic preparations to have him brought home, when time and one may restore hit reason.

A last (Friday) night’s London cable says: The celebrated Yates libel suit ended to- day by the appeal being dismissed and the suitor of the World surrendering himself to the officers of the law. He has decided to abandon the proposition of his counsel to further appeal his case to the House of Lords, and will go to prison and serve his four months. The paragraph which led to me suit appeared in the World of January l7eh, 1883 and read as follows: “ A strange story is in circulation in certain sporting oirclea concerning the elopement of a young lady of very high rank and noble birth with a young peer, whose marriage was one of affection, but whose wife has, unfortu- nately, fallen into it delicate state of health. The elopement is said to have taken place from the hunting field. The young may, who is only one or two and twenty, is a fair rider, and the gentle man a master of hounds.” The Earl of Lonsdsls assumed that this para- graph referred to him and instituted proceedings for libel against the editor of the World.

To the horror of the family, it was discovered that the girl had passed the period where her shame could be hidden. The Dimfries Standard gives a hitherto unpublishedjeu d'nsprit Wriltan by Burns. It. was receivad many years ago by an old man in Mnxwellhown trom ashepherd, who resided in Dalswinnon, bud been imimma with the poem, and was present when the verse was written. According to his story. while Burns was in the farm of Eilisland, he was in the habit oi frequently meeting a blacksmith, known from his residence at, " Rhodes." On one occasion, Burns, Rhodes and Ned (as the shepherd was called) were" together having a friendly " amok ” over a. bowl of teddy, when she smiuh challenged the post to Write an epimph on him.

On the farm of Mr. Bngwell, a. little off the main road, there was a shaft over fifty feet deep, leading to an abandoned gold mine. While playing around the opening one of the boys fell in a little ways, and after getting over his fright he determined to go on an explor- ing expedition. 8 )0n he came out to his companion carrying a strip of faded red ribbon. The two then returned and found, first. one skeleton. and then two.s.nd one of tnem picked up a peculiar piece ofjewellery. The find was reported abroad, and intense excitement prevailed. A party of men organized, and with the coroner and phy- sicians entered the mine. The examine.- tion develiped the fact that one skeleton was of a young women and the other of a. man in middle life.

Hie years passed away with no word from Mary, but the bent figure and whitened hair of her father showed that he was failing beneath his load of grief. Five years, then ten, and it may be said that Mary was forgotten. Five more completed fifteen, and most of those who had known the playful girl were either dead or had moved away. or had their minds engaged with business afl'aire which shut out the past. Whenever old Mr. Bagwell would bobble around, leaning heavily upon his stick, the locker-on would simply remark : “ Heis looking for his child," and would then dismiss him from thought. A Dark Mystery Solved After lievenleen Years. ‘ One of the unsolved mysteries of Carroll ‘county, writes a Villa Rica, Ga., corres- ‘ pondent to the St. Louis Globe Democrat, is the disappearance of Miss Mary BaEwell, over twenty years ago. She was the daughter of one of the most prominent farmers of this section.and as a petted child of fortune had been gratified in every whim. Suddenly she disappeared from the neighborhood in 1865. Her father shook his head silently and sadly whenever her name was mentioned. but had no explana- tion to offer. It was supposed by some that the girl hadbeenecrossed in some of her whims and had merely gone oil on a visit. The lapse of time, however, and the mysterious sadness of Mr. Bagwell put this theory at rest. Finally the rumor got out that a waggoner, who knew Mary by; sight, on his return one day from Atlanta, declared that he had seen her in one of the houses adjacent to McPherson barracks. Others, later, declared that they had caught a glimpse of such a face. but when- ever those interested investigated the matter the claws proved to be naught. MARY B IIIWBIJI'S FATE. Lam Scotch News Mr. George Simpson, an English dairy- msn, says he has found, to his cost, that the ordinary practice of drying continuous milkere givmg from twelve to sixteen quarts daily does not answer at all instead of attempting to dry cows giving large quantities of milk, he now finds it better to turn them in a. loose box and teed on out straw. By this means the flow of milk is reduced, and gradually they dry themselves ofi, without any evil effects following. The praotice of suddenly check ing the flrw of milk of good milkers by he ordinary method has resulted, in his case, in three of his cows slipping their calves within forty-eight hours after the drying process had begun. It has been observed that, where it has been attempted to dry large milkere suddenly. the uterus and breast became. inflamed. Dairymen will find it highly important to pay particular attention to their cows, especially those of the Guernsey and Jersey breeds, which are great milkers. Luxuries Unappreclmed. A farmer is very apt to regard his bins of grain, root-house stores of vegetables, his nice porkers, and his fine flock of chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, his daily gather- ing of eggs, his nice butter, milk, rich cream, and other such articles as be pro, duces, as the necessities of life. But one» half of the world, yes,two-thirds, or even al- ol it not engaged in husbandry, look upon the majority of these things as luxuries. The farmer who grumbles at such a lot in life cannot appreciate a good livmg. How many thousand villagers are there all over the country who would gladly exchange with him? Farmers, we admit, are often short of money ; yet the majority of them have plenty that will bring money, and all who have half the energy and thrift neces- sary to make a living in a vil‘age or city have a home well supplied with comforts and live on the fat of the landâ€"Rocky Mountain Ilusbandman. .

The recent cold weather had apparently no disastrous effechthe only lose being among a few of the late dropped lambs. Except with the hospital sheep, it has not been {ound necessary to give them any feed beyond what they have rustled tor themselns. They are corrslled every night and save this they have not required This is the very time when eggs are worth the most, when hens want to lay as much or more than they do at any other time. and when they are not allowed to do so by most poultry keepers. Folks think there is a great mystery about making hens lay in winter. There is none ; anybody can do it : that is, the hens will lay it you let them. They hear a good deal of cold in the sunshine, and even freeze their combs and toes, and yet Wlll not stop laying alto- gether if they sleep warm. Now, do not begin to plan setting up a stove in the hen house, or introducing steam pipes. Artificial heat is not poisonous, perhaps, but very nearly so to chickens. They are warm themselves, and need only to be crowded on their meets, with the all on one level. The ceiling roosting room should be only roosts of the vided with ventilation from the floor it possible. Give them very close quarters, with no drafts of cold air, and clean out under the rocsts every morning, not except- ing Sundays. ’l‘he combs will then reduen up, and eggs will be plenty on less feed than usual. It must not be corn, how- ever, or only a small percentage of it, for this will make them too fat to lay well if they sleep warm. A capital way to arrange a henhouse for winter is to make a ,ceiling of rails about six feet above the ifloor, covering the rails With salt hay, or ‘ coarse swamp hay of any kind. The roosts should be about three feet high above the floor, and movable, so that they may be kept perfectly clean. For small flocks of 30 to 50 hens, it is little trouble to take the rooste down every morning, when the floor is cleaned, and re p‘ace them at night. It removes from lazy (owls the temptation to sit in idleness on the roost for half the day Remedy [or llrlbblng Horses. The habit of cribbing is considered by the best modern authorities a symptom of indigestion or a diseased condition of the stomach. Horses addicted to this vice are generally thin in flash, but this condition is probably the result of the disordered state of the digestive organs rather than to the act of grasping and pressing upon the manger or some other object with the teeth. A horse in which this habit has long existed can readily be recognized by the worn and rounded appearance of the edges of his front teeth, also by the enlarged appearance of the muscles which depress the jaw. The habit can be prevented in several ways, but is liable to return again when the preventing conditions are removed. By taking away the manger and feeding from the ground 'the animal will have nothing to rest his teeth upon, hence as a rule cannot gratify his propensity in this direction, cxcept in some very obsti- nate cases, when theywill seize one of their knees and use that for cribbing purposes. By nailing a strip of sheep-skin about eight inches in Width the entire length of the crib, selecting a skin covered With long wool and sprinkling it freely with cayenne pepper, renewing it occasionally, the worst criber can be persuaded to desist from his habit.~Cu1.til;ator. a few feet above the fowl's heads, and pro- .

WHOLE NO 1,385 NO. 34 Strange Mnltcrmnllou Discovered in n Yoth 1H Yenrs Old. A remarkable case of physical malforma~ ‘tion, that must prove very interesting to physicians and physiolog‘sts, is attracttng 1 attention in the town of Lake, near Chicago. The phenomenon is a man whose heart is located in the right side of his chest. The person is George Edwards, 18 years old, who lives With his parents at No. 711 Forty-sixth street. near Wallace. The fact of his heart being on the right side of his body has been known to his attending physician for seven weeks, but it has been carefully kept from the public until now. Young Edwards is an invalid, suffering from pulmonary consumption. A SINGULAR FREAK OF NATURE. Dr. Chavett, who is attending him, was asked for some details of the queer case. He sail: "It is, indeed, a very singular lreak of nature. I have been in practice thirty-two years, and though a few isolated cases of this kind are mentioned in the books I never saw such a case before. When I took the patient to treat him for consumption 1 stripped his chest to examine his lungs. In a moment I discov- ered with the naked eye heart throbbings on the right side, instead of the left. Placing a stethoscope on the spot I dis~ tinctly heard and felt his heart beats. They were as regular and natural as those of any other person's heart. There was no pulsation at the other side of the chest. HIS pulse was at seventy-five, which I regarded as a normal action. The action of the heart did not seem to interfere in the least with the action of the lungs, but he was suffering with pulmonary disease, resulting from catarrh. No one but himself seems to have ever known where his heart was located ; nor did he appear to realize that he was essentially different physically from other persons.” A MED'GA'L EXAMINATION. Dr. Pierpont was also called upon for a statement or the case. He said: " Yes, it is as you have been informed. The boy’s heart is located in the right side of the chest. I think the centre of that organ is aninoh and a half to two inches to the right of the sternum. I was 10th to believe it. When Dr. Ohavett told me about it I thought it probably a case of aneurism, which sometimes produces enlargement of an artery and a pulsation therein which appears like heart beat. But an examinaâ€" tion with an instrument satisfied me that the heart was indeed located as . Dr. Chavott had told me.” England has scarcely felt as yet " the ioV finger " of Winter.

We were ushered into a rudely con- structed stone building of greater dimen- sions than those before visited in the village. It was almost dark inside, and the room was illmmelling and close. When our eyes became assustomed to the dim light we saw a skin clad fl ,vure kneeling in one corner of the room and engaged in breaking light sticks of wood into small faggots. We were teld that it was a woman whom the chief had brought us to see, and that she had not noticed our approach, being blind and deaf. The chief placed his hand on her shoulder, and she slowly turned around. I could not see quite plainly, end was at once struck with a feel- ing of repulsiveness almost akin to the horror one feels towards visions seen in a nightmare when her hideous face and blank, sunken eyes met my gaze. Her face was of a greenishyellow color, and .what little there was left of flash or skin clung to her bones as though stuck there by some adhesive compound. It bore a parched. dessieated appearance, like the outer flesh of a mummy. The lower jaw, which was devoid of teeth, obtruded considerably beyond the angle of her sharp, hooked noeei. Her arms appeared to be almost bare 0! any fleshy tissue, and the skin covering them was dry and bird. She is 182 years old. This places her two years beyond the reputed age of the patriircn Isaac at the time of his death, and she must have first seen the light in 1702, or seventy-four years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.” “ Did you learn her name ’2" “ Thelpeople of the village call her Wat- suma.

Dr. Levi E George was interviewed the other day concerning the Moqui Indians of Arizme, Whom he recently Visited.

They do not intermingle With the rovmg bands of savages, preferring a fixed habitation in their little village in the valley of the Chen- saks.

They dwell in stone houses or huts, engage in agricultural pursuits to a limited extent and enjoy many of the arts of OiVlllZ}thD.
