" ""1 have already named one Of them, 'said Annie, "after the Jersey Lilly, and we call-her liaogtry.

He had been tossed by an angry bull, and nearly killed. Since when, he had an unconquerable fear of cattle in any form. I had known him shy around oorners, cut across lots, and even hide behind stone walla in his terror of .meeting one of the bovine species. And, now, his seemingly cheerful alacrity, in actually going to drive home two of them, was something I could not see into. Perhaps, and, I shouted with laughter as the thought occurred to me, perhaps, my friend, who was sensitive over bis weakness, did not like to have Ins wife know that he was such a coward. Ashamed to ac'kBOwledgtoher hia eld-time fear of cows, he had assumed a readiness in going to fetch home the Jerseys that he waa far from feeling. Annie looked inquiringly at me as I laughed. "You must have some amusing thoughts," she said. The dark objects that were galloping toward us proved tt bo my friend and hia purchase, and, as they went tearing wildly past us, it waa hard for a disinterested person to tell' which was the

"Open that big gate in the earner!" yellod PoBv. as they tore along. Be

fore I could prevent her, Annie dropped the book she had been reading from

and with, a blood-curdling scream made

a dash for the gate. But the "Jersey Lilly" paid no atten

tfam to the gate, or Annie, either, but

sailed over the top of the fence in fine style, heal up and tail flying.

Then and there waa enacted the wildest

race the pale moon ever looked upon.

Annie went ever the fence lixe a

he caught at a rope that was attached

to ner noma and twisting it tightly about his wrists, howled out: "Now, you high-falutin old hussy, rve got you at last ni teach you to come to my time I will." Nobody knows wAoseutime" Polly and bis cow did their racing by it certainly was not his. His legs flew this way, and that way, his eyes looked like inverted saucers, and his coat streamed in 'the summer winds like banners of distress on a forsaken ship. Matters soon reached a crisis. Too badly frightened to know what she was doing, the poor beast attempted to scab) a

picketed indosure sacred to the feath

ered bipeds. This, was too much. Polly made a desperate resistanoe and the consequence wa that Polly and the cow and the picketed inclosure all came down in a heap together. Then there waa some swearing done, and it waa the very tallest kind of swearing at that. But, as a disinterested spectator of the whole affair, I can affirm tint it was the cow that did it, A good deal shocked. Annie re

tired into the house, and, shutting the

door, called ou to .Polly through the key-hole, to come in and let the beast go away if she wanted too. A groan was the only reply. Somewhat alarmed, his wife peered anxiously out upon the field of carnage. The cow had disappeared in the friendly shadow of a wooded field. Polly was limping slowly toward the house a madder and a wiser man and the war waa virtually at an end. My unfortunate friend presented a shocking appearance. His tight pantaloons were ripped in every seam; his cutaway coat was split up the middle of the back, and the natty hat, upon whiph he particularly prided himself, was test entirely. Tears of rage and mortification streamed down his begrimmed features. Unable to restrain myself, I screamed with laughter. Then Polly forgot his manners again and he muttered something that sound

ed like "Helen Blazes," as he oaressed

hia lacerated legs and estimated the

damages.

"Madam,' ssod he, wratn fully, to his wife, "if this was the sort of amuse

The simmer temperature of Chicago ii much like that of New York. The un-, fortunate oltizen of Cincinnati swelters from June 1 to Got. 1-.

New Orleans enjoys per-j petual summer, with a degree of neat not intolerable to the native but un-; bearable to the visitor from the North.' Mobile) Charleston and Savannah have! similar climatic conditions. Perhaps the loveliest summer climate in the world is found in the .Cumberland mountains, that extend through the western part of the Carolinam a portion! of Tennessee and the northern counties of Georgia and Alabama. Its characteristics are days whose heat is easily borne and nights whose coolness is balmy and invigorating. But elsewhere at the South, in the West and in many cities of the North tile summers are looked forward to with dread, and those who ate able escape to the mountains and woods or seek a refuge in the country boarding-houses, which offer a choice of evils. Those who live in cities east of the Rocky mountains go to the country to escape the heat; people in San Francisco for quite a different reason, namely, to get the warmth and dryness not found beside the Pacific San Ecancitco Chronicle,

Heavy Life Insurance. Not very long ago the British life-insurance companies were called -upon, within the short space of one year, to pay the enormous sum of $6,250,000 on policies on the lives of three heavily-insured noblemen viz. : the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of Anglesea, and the Earl of Fife; and shortly afterward the same companies paid $1,250,000 insurance on the lives of two noblemen making an aggregate sum of $7,500,000 insurance paid on five lives. About fifteen years ago the heirs of Sir Robert Clifton received from the lifeinsurance companies of Great Britain $1,250,000, that being the amount of insurance which he carried. Dam Pedro H, the Emperor of Brazil, carries a large life insurance in foreign companies. Napoleon HI had an insurance of $600,000 on his life, and this was the chief reliance of the Empress Eugenie after his death. One English Earl has his life insured for $1,000,000, partly in American companies. The largest life insurance written for any American Prinoe is that of W. K. Anderson, "the oil Prince," of Titnsville, Pa., who is insured for for $440,000. The late James Park, Jr., of Pittabnrgh,had his life insured for $350,000. 'Among Americans insured for $300,000 or more are Hamilton Disston, of Philadelphia; John Howe, of St. Louis; W. H. Langley, of Oallipolis, Ohio, and J. B. Stettson, of Philadelphia,Pa.

Bombarding a Searecrew. They were two tramps, and they were crossing a cornfield in Flatbush in search of watermelons. The farmer's scarecrow had fallen up against the fence. They armed themselves with dessicoated tomatoes and began pelting the figure. Then they began to make bets of $1,000,000 as to whioh oould plunk it in the back or knock the hat off. As the sport grew exciting they approached nearer and nearer, and were soon firing young pumpkins at the nondescript. "See where that last tomato fetched him in the head 1" said one. "Bet you cant oome within a mile of that shot 1" "Bet you $1,000." "Done." "Pll do better than that. Bet I hit him before you do!" "Bet yon $1,000." "Done!" And then to get the bulge on each Other they both started on a dead run towards the object. To make assurance double sure, they ran to within a couple of feet of it and then haltod to take

And then as one went over the fence and the other landed in a near-by ditch, the scarecrow picked up a hoe and, as it started in on another row, it recited the following paragraph: "I've been layin; fur you fellers fur some time. I seed ye com in' an' leaned over the fence ter give ye a chance at that watermelon patch. Tlier next time ye come around this way drop in an' take a bite ov the bull-dqg." And the tramps made believe, they were dead, and didn't even dare to laugh at the farmer's back, whioh looked as if he'd been shot with a tomato field. Neio York World.

7. K. Chalmara, of MiaUMlppi, Traces the Xteoord or the Party or Which He Was So XtBly a sbljilnB- Light. tOommuiilo&Uon to the Memphis (Tann.) Avalanche. Gsn, Weaver says that the Demo oratio party had been camping every Jrear on the ground where the Republican party had camped the ybar before; and this is eminently true of the Mississippi Democracy. In 1868 they deoleared the reconstruction measures revolutionary and void, and bitterly opposed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the constitution as they came upi At the next Pfesidential election in 1879, they not only stood on the reconstruction measures and the amendments to the constitution; but they selected Horace Greeley as their candidate to stand on them, thus stepping over to the Republican platform on this subject. In 1868 they were the advocates of greenbacks for the payment of the United States bonds, and declared there should be the same money for tihe bondholders and the plowholders. Then followed the old

doctrines of Calhoun and Jackson Of

opposition td .national banks and upholding the bid Democratic idea that the Government, and not corporations, should make whatever the pepole were required to take as money. This doctrine was partially ignored by the National Convention of 1876, but the Mississippi Democracy clung to the old doctrine until 1880; In the Forty-fifth Congress, when Democrats were passing a bill to stop the destruction of Greenbacks, Mr. Bayard moved to amend the bill by taking away the legal-tender feature of Greenbacks, while leaving the partial legal-tender feature of national batik notes standing) and thus giving the national banks a monopoly of the paper money of the country, Mr. Lamar voted for Bayard's

amendment, and, when this failed, did

not vote at ail on the passage pr the bill, and yet, in 1880, Mr. Lamar carried one-half of the Mississippi delegation to Cincinnati to vote for Mr. Bayard for President, thus stepping over to the Republican platform on national banks. In 1876 the Democratic party was in favor of the recoinage Of silver at its old standard value, and In the Fortyfourth Congress Mr. Lamar, as a member of the House, voted for the Blair Silver bill. In the Forty-fifth Congress Mr. Lamar, as a Senator, changed his mind, and in violation of instructions from his State Legislature voted against the old silver dollar. In the Forty-sixth Congress Mr. Bayard not only opposed the Silver bill passed by a Democratic House, bnt by his arbitrary action as Chairman of the Finance Committee in the Senate defeated the consideration of the measure in that body. And yet Mr. Lamar, aa just stated, in 1880 carried one-half of the Mississippi delegation to Cincinnati to indorse Mr; Bavard. and in 1882 Mr. Tiamar waa

himself indorsed by re-election to the

senate Dy we.uemocratsot Mississippi, who thus passed over to the Republican platform onihat subject.

in ioyo tne .uemoorats were lor "a tariff only for revenue." In 1880 they were for "a tariff for revenue onlv."

Now, in 1883, the Democrats of Ohio

nave adopted the original Republican

platform of 1856 in almost its exact

language, and have nominated on it as

their candidate for Governor a distinguished Liberal Republican who left that party but a few years ago. And every Demooratio paper in Mississippi has said amen, and bravely steps over

to tne om-time Republican platform.

As now construed, this platform of 1880 meant "a tariff for revenue only for

oince. jsut as tne omoes did not come

on-that platform, they now say a tariff

lor revenue must be supplemented by such discrimination as will afford

protection to American industry. One

is relegated to its appropriate sphere, and that is to keep the conflicting

elements, called Democrats, together until they can elect a President "Only this and nothing more." In 1881 the Mississippi Democrats were very bitter in denouncing the Independent party of Mississippi as the half-way house to Republicanism, And last year an article from the Vicksburg Commercial charging this was reproduced and an attempt was made to foster it on me because I had an interest in the paper, aa being an admission

ox tne ultimate purpose of the Independents. Now the Democracy of

Mississippi,, in many counties of the

Estate, are ooenlv advoeatinir a fusion

with the Republicans simply to divide the spoils of office. They have passed the half-way house and are making the best possible time for the home base. This time they have surpassed their

achievements, as described bv Gen.

Weaver, and instead of resting on last.

years encampment of the Republicans.

they propose to occupy the same camp

ground fogetner.

wnen tne JNortn Carolina mover started West with his two-wheeled cart

covered with white cotton and the old

yellow dog tied behind, be almost pulled the old dog's head off the first day to get him along. (Vide Demo

crats pulling back and scowling over the reconstruction measures, constitutional amendments, etc.) In a few days the dog began to trot quietly along and

sleep behind the wagon. (Vide Demo

crats sleeping on the Republican's old camp-ground. ) At last the old dog jumped in and slept comfortably in the wagon. (Vide Lynch and Lamar sleeping quietly together after their arduous

Jaoor in dividing out the offices in the negro counties in Mississippi.) J. R. Chalmebs. Democratic Presidential Candidates. The deficiency of the Democratic party in Presidential timber is attested by the number of logs which are floated down the current of public opinion; they are numerous enough to choke up the stream, but no man has been able to piok out one sufficiently imposing to set up for public admiration. The names are discarded almost as rapidly as they are suggested. Not long since, Mr. Justice Field, of the Supreme Court, came out with a bid for the nomination in a letter intended to conciliate the Southern Bourbons. He declared in favor of a system of levees along the Mississippi river, and "a tariff for revenue, with incidental protection." He was also emphatic in advocating a return of the 70,000,000 collected from the cotton tax the only contribution the South ever made toward defraying the expenses of the war it forced upon the country. Some of the Southern newspapers caught greedily at tho bait he threw out. Among others was the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, of Augusta, which, after epitomizing Judge Field's propositions, said that he would make

a model Demooratio candidate in 1884," and spoke of him as "the coming man." But tho Louisville Courier-Journal, on the other hand, dismisses him summarily by oharaofMruyng bis letter as

"fatally weak and defective," and as containing "a series of propositions which) making his nomination impossible, Carry o'ng with their absurdity their antidote. " This is probably the last that will be heard of Mr. Justice Field as a Pfesidential candidate, and hence it is not worth while to discuss" the preposterous character of his Presidential postulants. A few days biter accounts were spread throughout the country of a mysterious interview between Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendrieks, and about the same time the latter begad making Democratic speeches in Iowa, in which he reverted significantly to the "great fraud of 1876." But at that point Mr. Tilden'a physician appeared on tho scene with a statement intended to f e'assuro an anxious public as to the condition of the old gentleman's health, but really making his candidacy impossible. The physician went on to say that Mr. Tilden was recovering his voice and waa merely suffering froiii ptirdlysit agi? tana-. We presume that this is a trifling matter in the eyes df it doctor in attendance upon a luillionaire; but it is more than the public can stand. The contemplation of a President with paralysis would be startling enough, but when agitans is added thereto the oase is positively appalling. "The old ticket" has received a blow from this professional revelation from which it will never recover; But New York cornea up smilingljr with two other candidates Hewitt and Cleveland and starts out with the as sumption that, since Indiana has abandoned its October election and the Democrats in Ohio are . quarrelling among themselves, tile West has ni claims whatever upon the nomination.

because it has no pivotal State. That is all very well, but how is it going to help New York with a couple of rival candidates, neither one of whom can command a united delegation from his

own State nor the enthusiasm of the

oartv at all. Mr. Hewitt is the natural

heir to all the antagonism entertained

for Tdden among that class of Demo

crats, nartienlarlv at the South, who

think Tildeh should have resorted to Mexican methods in the sorinc of 1877

and should have attempted to seize the

Jf residency in spite of tne decision

reached by Congress, In addition to

this antagonism within his own party, Mr. Hewitt has been too outspoken on the tariff Question to hope for united

support from the ruling politicians who think it to be necessary for the Democrats to straddle that issue in the ap

proaching Democratic campaign, uov,

OlevelancLia not as strong to-day as he was when he was runnine for his present

place. The DemocratiO politicians . of

his State are disgruntled over his disposition of the State patronage, and the country has heard very little of him

since ne was elected. Meanwhile McDonald and Hendricks, of Indiana, are engaged in a war of ex

termination. They are proceeding in their own behalf upon different linesMcDonald making free-trade speeches and Hendricks making protection speeches but each determined that the

other shall not carry on tne prize.

Actuated by the common purpose of mutual rivalry, it is probable that each will be successful to the extent of killing off the other. Ohio Democrats

have destroyed their chances by their

family quarrels at home. Bayard is set

aside because he represents a "rottenborough" State. Hancock is scarcely

mentioned, because the recollection of his imbecility as a candidate in 1880 is

too fresh in the minds of the people. Who is there, then) Perhaps Blaine

answered the question, if it be true, as re

ported, that he predicted recently that

nen DUfier wiu oerwumy ue uouimaica if he 'shall be re-elected Governor oi Massachusetts. We may be permitted to doubt, however, that Blaine predicted Butler's election in that case, though it is easy to understand why he, as a

republican, should say and do every thin? possible to encourage Butler's ad

vancement in the Democratic party. 11

Butler could secure the Democratic nomination for President, there would be a sort of retributive justice in the event which would be peculiarly gratifying to Republicans. It would Be a bitter dose to the Democrats, bnt they may as well prepare, perhaps, to take
