TO RIVET BOY. How a Little Mechanic Saw the Cow .lump Over the Moon. Three j ears ago there lived in Philadelphia a bright boy named Owen, who 'van too poor to go to school and yet who was anxious to learn. His near relative, an uncle, had decided to I ake a machinist of him, and Owen worked in a very large, dark, smoky place, where hundreds of men hammered all day upon great iron boilers. The only sleeping place that the iad could find away from the shop was in the cold garret of his uncle’s house whence it came about that Owen often passed winter nights inside some boiler still warm from the furnace. His duty during the day wa» to seize quickly red-hot rivets as they fell from their boxes of fire and to fit them Into holes that they might be pr. seed home by a powerful ma chine. , On new year’s eve Owen heard some of the men say that it he should sit up all that night he would hear a heu crow and see a cow jump over the moon Do not think Owen stupid because he widely opened his mouth and swallowed what was said: for why should Owen, a boy of the city’s corners and a mite of an outcast, doubt statements made with sober faces? The little fellow believed the men and decided to watch the new year in. He said “good night” to the gatekeeper about ten o’clock, and then sat near a window for a long while. A rat crossed the windowsash in front of him, and for a moment Owen mistook it for the cow in the far sky. Again the lad was startled by the bark of a dog, and after midnight a eat bounded along the ridg ■ of a neighboring roof, looking as though it were leaping along betwee i stars. In ibis way the hours passed and the moon changed her place from the easti i to the western sky. Owen was beg nning to fear that he W’as to be disappointed, when be saw a man’s head darken the face of the round, bright orb just over a housetop. He thought to himself that the man must be looking for the celestial cow, also, but what the man did afterwards caused Owen to change his mind. The strange climber moved slowly along, keeping in the shadows as much as he could, until he reached a trap-door in the roof. “That feller’s a crook,” said Owen, who knew a deal about thieves and rascals; “I’ll watch him.” The man used a tool upon the door and crept down out of sight. “He’s a burgler,” added Owen, under his breath, saying which the boy briskly climed out through the window and ran to find a policeman. In the excitement of the chase and capture that followed Owen forgot all about the moon, thecow and the crowing hen. It was nearly daylight when he crawled into a boiler to go to sleep and hedropped off into sound slumber at once. Though New Year's Day was a holiday, a great crowd of men poured into the shop that morning, for the work was pressing and the time of contract short. Ten stromr-armed fellows approached the boiler in which Ooen slept, and, without looking inside, they began to hammer. “Tink” went the first stroke and"toak” the second, after which the blows were rained down from ten hammers, making such clatter and clank as was almost, enough to split one’s ears. Owen turned sleepily a few times and then resumed his nap. This may seem strange, but it should be remembered that lie had become accustomed to such noises. By-and-bye one of the workmen looking in exclaimed: “Well, I wish I may die! here’s Owen!” The lad was aroused and sent oil to work, and when he reached his place the foreman handed him a purse of silver that had been sent as a present for catching the burgler.

Remarkable Libel Suit in Detroit. One Hugh 8. Peoples, of Detroit, has brought a curious libel suitagaiust the Evening News of that city. The circumstances areas 'ollows: Some vears ago Peoples had a girl named Maitha Whitia in hie family as a se 1 - vant, and it was also reported that she was his mistress. When she left Peoples gave her a note for S4OO. The girl, lived a little out of the city and often visited it. One day in January, 1879, she disappeared, and not the slightest trace of her could be found. It was discovered afterward that she was horribly murdered by being tied, gagged, put into a sack and thrown into the river alive. The body was found the next Spring, but not until nearly two years later was it identified fr m the clothing. Then strange stories got into circulation. and the News published an article substantially charging Peoples with the murder. I'he Post and Tribune and the Abend Zeitung afteward, published similar articles, and against all of them Peoples brought libel suits. In this trial it devolves upon the News to substantiate its charges, and

the jury has to determine whether a party to a civil suit is a murderer or not, and this not by the rule of evidence in criminal cases, where the guilt must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, but upon the balance of probabilities. Peoples will fight in the suit as if his life were at stake. Butter From Sweet ( ream. The prevailing opinion is that the proper time for churning is after the cream develops a little acid. Some prominent authorities recommend churning the cream when sweet. The product being sweet cream butter, the keeping qualities of this butter is questioned. Doctors disa. ree on this, as upon other points. We are told by one authority that it has been found that souring cream before churning increases the production o: butter, and also produces a keeping ' quality of butter. There is strong testimony, however, that butter from sweet cream will Keep as long, if not longer, than that from cream that is slightly acid. In Fleischmann's volume on Milk—which is the highest authority iit Germany on the subject —we are told that in earlier times, when dairy products were of far less account than now, there was little occasion for making butter that kept well; therefore the milk was allowed to stand a long time for cream to rise, and the latter was more or less sour when churned. It was only when butter came to lie exported to tropical • countries, and this product did not 1 keep so well as was desired, that experiments were tried with sweetcream butter from cold setting in deep cans, and the result was so favorable that exporters set to work to induce dairymen to churn the cream sweet. Like all ianoventions upon established methods, the new departure met with much opposition, but was finally adopted in Denmark, and has extended to other portions of the continent where the butter trade is of much importance. Normandy and Bretagne in France, and in all parts of Holland, where the butter is noted for its fine and delicate flavor, only sweet cream is churned. Sweet cream butter hardly needs further evidence to establish its keeping qualities.

St. Jacobs Calendar. This is a bright aud attractive new year’s souvenir, whose appearance and contents can test speak for the intrinsic worth of the volume, and suggest its value to people everyW u'h J'uubl ishers have taken a new deJ. in the introduction of thiscalre public. In place of th. Ln in discrimioately supplying old pint* 1,1 , witb quantities of the rU f s r judic.ous or

otherwise, among their customers, they furnish the book direct to the jie.iple upon the reeeiptoftheir names from their druggists, or to applicants upon the receipt ofa three cent stamp and full address. This latter method seems to have met with rare popular appreciation, judging by the immense ediitions they are shipping daily, A distinguishing feature, and one of special commendation, is the weather predictions. These have been specially calculated for by one of the best meteroligistsin the country, and the publisher invite for them a very criticising scrutiny and an impartial comparison with those of Prof. Tice, Prof. Vennor and others,—giving St. Jacob his honest due when eai ued by the accuracy of bis calculation. The illustrations were drawn and engraved bv New York’s great artist F. C. Beard, esq.; they are unique in th- ir way, especially appropriate, and are no slight recommendation to the increased value of the little book, being a pleasant diversion and pasttixiie without sn undue obtrusiveness of the Gr.-at German Remedy St. Jacobs Oil.

i Man in Cleveland Who Foresaw President Garfield’s Assassination. On Sunday, the Cincinnati Enquirer published’ a long account of a man living near Cleveland, who claimed to have fors- en the assassination of President Garfield, and had told him of it, as well as others, including Mayor Herrick. The seer, as he was called, also asserted that he had seen other remarkable visions, including the killing of Mr. Lincoln. The Cleveland Herald of yesterday has the following additional information about the man, whose name is Herring. A Herald reporter accidentally came across the wonderful prophet yesterday in a down town office, where he had dropped in pursuant to an occasional custom, and was engaged in relating some of the incidents described in the Enquirer’s article. The reporter learned that his name was Phillip Herring, and that he had lived in Cleveland many years. He employs himself as a piano tuner, making his headquarters at Wamelink’s music store, and doing business all over thecity. He has just finished a repetition of his story touching the assassination, and one of the gentlemen present asked him to explain how these things were foreshown to him. ‘ I attribute it wholly to inspiration,” was his short answer. “Perhaps you are a believer In spiritualism?” suggested one, anxious to draw him out. “No, sir; twelve years ago I was, but am n t now.” “When do these inspirations come upon vou?” “Norat any particular time; and yet I have seen nearly all these visions when at home.” “I suppose you fall into a dreamlike trance'.'” Herring shook his head, but made no reply. “You say that the vision of Garfield’s assassination come over you a year before it occurred—that was even before the election?” “Oh, yes; and I predicted Garfield’s election, and told him so when I went down to Mentor to see him.” “In your vision of the assassination did you see the features of the assassin, so you could afterward recognize him?” “Os course, and I saw 'he pistol very distinctly. It was the murderer's intention to send the bullet into the side of Garfield’s head, just where Lincoln was shot, but he missed his aim.” “And you warned Garfield and his friends?” “Yes, sir; went down to Mentor and afterward to Washington." Here he gave the names of Mayor Herick, Captain Henry, and others with whom he had talked, but he was very reticent, and made the briefest

kind of answers to every question. While he talked he was engaged in sealing a large packet, which he proceeded to address to “the E*peror of Germany.” Before departing for the post office to mail this he wh’spered to one of the gentlemen that he had “something very important to tell him,’ but would come in some other time. “It is not about anything that is to occur in this country, but abroad.” Herring is certainly a most wonderful man. He dislikes very much to be called a crank, and insists that he is not one, and that some day every one will know it and believe him. He has in bis possession a large package of letters, which he says, are from Bismarck. Mayor Herriek corroborates the story so far as concerns his being notified beforehand of the prophesied assassination, but don’t know what to think of the man. Herring has had one or two interviews with ex-President Hayes, whom he had impressed strangely by his fund of knowledge touching his torical events, principally European.

KENDALL’S SPAVIN DURE, / Wkendall’s (SPAVIN_CUREfg It cures spavins, Splints, Curbs, Ring bones and all similar blemishes, and removes the bunch without blistering. For man it is now known to be one of the best, if not the best liniment ever discovered. We feel positive that every man can have perfect success in every case if he will only use good common sense in applying Kendall’s Spavin Cure, and preserve in bad cases of long standing Read below the experience of others FROM COL. L. T. FOSTER. Youngstown, 0., May IV, 1880. Dn- B. J. Kendall & Co ? Gents.—l had a very valuable Haiubletonian colt which 1 prised very highly, be had a large bone spavin on one joint and a smaller one on the other which made him very lame; I had him under the charge of two N eterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him I was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall’s Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I determined at once to try it and got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three bottles; I took them all and thought I would give it a thorough trial, I used it according to directions and by the fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps had entirely disappeared. I used but one bottle and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and as smooth as any horse in the State. He is entirely cured. The cure was so remarkable that 1 let two of my neighbors have the remaining two bottlels who are now using it. Very repecetfuly,, L.T. FOSTER.

Kendall it Co., Gents:-*-In juslioe to you and myself, I think I ought to let you know that 1 have removed two bone spavins with Kendall’s Spavin Cure, one very large one, don't know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten boules. The horse is extremely well, not al all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine.

In human flesh it has been ascertained by repeated trials to be the very best liniment ever used for any deep seated pain of long statnding, or of short duration. Also for corns, bunions, frost bites, or any bruise, cut or Istaeness- Some are afraid to use it on human fi“sh simply because it is ahorse medicine, but you should remember that what is good for beast is gold for man, and we know from erperience that -Kendall s Spavin Cure can be need on a child 1 year old with perfect safety. Its effects are wonderful on human flesh and it does not blister or make a sore. Try it and be convinced. What is Good for Beast is Good for Man. BEAT!

I had tried many things, Out in vain. Your “Kendall Spavin Cure" put the foot io the ground again, and, for the first time since hurt, in a natural position. For a family liniment it excells anything we ever used Yours truly, REV M P BELL Pastor M E church, Patten s Mills, N Y. Bakersfield, Vt, Dec 23, 1879. B J Kendall s Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendalls Spavin Cure” In the spring of 1872 I slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint I was very lame and at times suffered the most excruciating pain. I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I should b» a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall's Spavin Cure” thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. The p» n left me and has not troubled me since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend Kendall s Sparine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Bovtxil. KENDALL S SPAVIN CURE. Kendall’s Spavine Cure is sure in its ef- | feels, mild in its action as it does notblisj ter, yet it is penetrating and powerful to reach any deep seated yain or to remove any bony growth or any other enlargement if used for several days, such as spavins, splints, curbs, callous, sprains, swellings, auy lameness and all enlargements i of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in | man and for any purpose for which a linii ment is used for man or beast.
