Senator Harrison has recommended the appointment oi General II. S. Foster, of this city, as successor to ex-Marshal Dudley. It ia reported that Commissioner of Pensions, Dudley, will eliminate considerable Democratic talent from his bureau in the near future. Washington correspondents announce that Register Bruce has purchased a building site near Secretary Blaine's new house, and will shortly erect a private residence thereon. The intensely hot weather of last week is accounted for on the ground that Conkling's choler was away up in the nineties, and the breeze coming from the East spread it all over the West. We are ander obligations to Messrs. Isaac Burgan and C. E.

Tribune, is a brother to the deceased. The bereaved farailr and relatives have the sympathy of a host of friends. A. S. Barnes & Co., of New York, are the publishers of "Scarborough's First Lessons in Greek," an clcmeut ary, two-term text book for begin ncrs in the study of Greek, by Prof. W. S. Scarborough, who occupies the chair of Latin and Greek at Wilber force University. We have not yet seen a copy of the book, but are in formed that it is an excellent rudi mentary work in Greek. Georgo Washington, a hotel wait er, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, whose great grandfather was a second cous in to a step-sister of an old acquain ance of one General G. Washington's "most trusted body servants," camoto an untimely end in that city recently. Ho quarreled with his head-waiter, and the latter willfully, regardless of his "noble ancestry," shot him dead through the heart The latest Indiana appointment, that of Colonel Dudley to be Commissioner of Pensions, is one that meets with the universal approval of every Republican in Indiana. Col. Dudley is a veteran who has doubly won his spurs, by his service in tho battle-field and in party councils at home. It is reported tho Colonel ac cepted tho Commissionership on condition the ho be allowed to control the office entirely. Rebel sympathizers will most probably take a walk out of that branch of tho public service. Things have changed consider ably since the War. Before that time it was a common occurrence for a white man to buy a colored woman for the purpose of making her his mistress. A few days a;o Henry Tucker, a colored man who was sold as a vagrant at Lexington, Ky., was bought by his mistress, a white woman, for tho sum of 8112.50. Louisville Bulletin. The Best Breeds of Cattle. The question is often asked, which is the best breed of cattle a farmer can keep? It is impractical to answer the question with out knowing for what purpose the animils are raised and where they are to be kept. If the production of beef is the sole obiect of raising cattle, a farmer can not do better than devote his attention to raising Herefords, Short Horns, polled Angus, or Devon cattle. The former are preferable for farms in a good state of cultivation and well sup plied with barns, and the latter for iortions of the country where animals are obliged to travel long distances in search for food, and to get along with little protection. The polled Angus and Devon cattle are of comparatively small size and quite active, and are accordingly well adapted to traveling. The are also hardy, and capable of enduring considerable exposure without great injury. The best dairy stock is afforded by the Holstein. Ayrshire and Jersey cattle. Holstein cows are generally preferred by farmers who produce milk for supplying towns and cities, Ayrshire cows by those who are interested in the manufacture of cheese, and Jersey cows by those who desire to make superior butter, or supply their own tables with very rich milk and cream. The Jersey is especially adapted to the wants of persons in towns, as it does well when kept in confine ment, consumes a comparatively small amount of food, and continues to give milk during the greater portion of the year Many short horns, particularly those belonging to the Princess family, are large milkers. The Holsteins, Ayrshires and short-horns are readily fattened when they have become too old to breed or to give a large amount of milk. For working cattle, there is nothing superior to the Devons, as they are strong and lively. The short-horns and Herefords mature early and on that ac count are preferred by farmers who desire to turn otf their stock when the animals are three years old, or younger. In deciding which breed of cattle to keep, a farmer should take into consideration tfie purpose for which they are designed and the kind of treatment they are to receive. "Trichinae and Trichinosis." The last issue of the London Medical Times and Gazette, just received in Wash ington, contains an elaborate article on the official report on "trichinae and trichinosis," prepared by the late Dr. Glazier, of the Marine Hospital service. After carefully reviewing the statements of Dr. Glazier and commenting thereoa, the article concludes as follows: "But as we have said before, no country is exempt (from trichinosis). It is, however, but fair to state that American meat has earned an ill repute greater than it deserves simply because greater attention has been directed to it. Many outbreaks in Germany referred to it (American meat) have been really caused by German-grown hams, and the only one in ihiscountry (England) was from a home-fed animal. As regards Germany, trade jealousies have an important part, and even scientific men have allowed themselves to make rash and unproved assertions, though some, like Professor Heschl, have honorably admitted their error. American and German hams, etc, have been equally at fault, and since so valuable a supply of food can not be cut off, and each one may protect himself by proper care in cooking itr the legislative action of the Continental Governments seems to us unjustifiable, though if it drive the authorities of the United States to vigorous efforts for the rehabilitation of their credit, it may be productive of good. A number of documents bearing on the subject completes the work, which we can heartily recommend to the study of all who t'.ke an interest, commercial or scientific, in the question." Reviews in the British medical journals are said to be usually written by experts on the particular branches to which they relate, and the article from which the above is quoted is, therefore considered to represent the views of the medical profession in England.

Sprlngfleld, (().) items The roller skating was continued last Friday and Saturday evenings, at the Cen tral rink, under the auspices of ladies and gentlemen of Asbury Chapel. The attend ance on these evenings was much larger than on the week previous. The art of skating on rollers is one that has created quite a stir among the belles and beaux during tho past winter and spring, espe cially among the whites, they being the only ones who could enjoy the fun, all others of darker hue being debarred on ac count of color, and previous condition, now that the season has closed for the mdulg ing ofthat art, the manager of the rinks are plenty willing enough to rent the house and the skates to those whose money was not good enough to be scooped in with the whites, we have no objection to any one learning what they can and at any time they choose, but we being a little selfish, like to go crazy when every one else is going crazy. But notwithstanding it is a little out of season and behind time, we would oiler nothing by way of discourage ment, for the money made from these entertainments is to be applied to a good pur pose, that ot remodeling the Asbury 31.
