ntomt litfeBipor. From the Keowee Courier. History of Short Horn Cattle, and Their Yalue. Next to the horse, the cow is justly valued1 as the most useful animal which man has been able to domesticate and retain permanently in his service, and yet it is strange to see how they are neglected and abused; receiving less care and attention than almost any animal we have.- They are turned loose in the spring and summer to roam the woods and. pick what they can get, and in the fall and winter they are turned in the fields to ruin the land by tramp? ing it to death. Try it one year by feeding them under a nice, warm shelter, where they can enjoy both their rest and food, instead of leaving it in the fields, and you will be aston? ished at the condition of your stock, increased production of your land, accumulation of ma? nure and increase of milk and butter, which will more than repay you for your services and attention. In the spring, ask your neighbor over to look at your stock, and help haul out your manure. But it is not only requisite that they should have a good warm shelter and plenty to eat, but also put in charge of a per? son of character, on whom the utmost reliance can be placed, for the act of milking is one which requires great caution, for if not careful? ly and properly done, the quantity of milk will be diminished, and the quality inferior, for to a person whom they dislike, they never give their milk freely. Whatsoever differences of opinion may pre? vail respecting the comparative merits of our several Dreeds of cattle, it must be admitted that the Short Horn present themselves to no? tice under circumstances of peculiar interest. Possessing in an eminent degree a combination of qualities which have generally been consid? ered incompatible, and rendered irresistibly attractive to the eye by their splendid frames and beautifully varied colors, it is not surpris? ing that they have become objects of public curiosity; that they have realized for their breeders enormous sums of money, and that throughout our own land, and in every foreign eountry where agriculturre is attended to, they are in increasing request. It might teud to throw much light on the science of feeding and breeding, could these animals be traced in the progress of their improvement. Of the extent of that improvement, we may form an estimate by placing together one of the im? proved and one of the unimproved race. You will find a great difference between the North? ern and Western cattle, the Western being much superior and commanding higher prices, with the exception of the New York Mill's Herd, as the climate and pasturage suit them better. Ohio has obtaiued the highest price ever paid for a bull. They generally buy cows from the Northern sales to keep up their stock, thus avoiding the system of breeding in too much. The earliest periods of which we have any account of our breeds of cattle, the coun? ties of York and Durham have been celebrated for their Short Horns, but principally in the first instance. On account of their reputation as extraordinary milkers, at that particular time, they found their way to England, but by whom they were imported is unknown, but there is a tradition that, towards the close of the seventeenth century, a bull and some cows were introduced into Holdemess. In color, they resembled the improved Short Horns, be? ing occasionally red, red and white, white and roan, though tne last named color was not then so prevalent as now; the white,in all probabil? ity, they obtained'from being crossed on the white wild breed. The Short Horns continued to sustain their excellence and celebrity in various hands, until Mr. Charles Collings adopted them, when he manifested a superiority of skill as a breeder, which, in a very brief period, secured him \ large fortune. Whatever had been the merits of the Short Horns, Mr. Collings greatly im- j proved them, both in form and milking quali? ties, and though it has been asserted by some that his success was the result of chance, arising from the possession of an animal, Hab back, with the merits of which, it is supposed, he was at one period unacquainted, but others are of the opinion that Mr. Collings' success resulted from a deliberate and well considered plan. He avoided the system of breeding in and in too much, by judiciously cropping on ether stock, and was sensible, also, of the diffi? culty of breeding, with anything like a cer? tainty, lar^e, good animals. It seems to have Keen his aim, though, to reduce the size of Iiis' breed, and, at the same time and by that means, to improve its form. This he is supposed to have effected in the first instance, through the medium of a bull, called Habback, ah animal respecting which, there has been much contro? versy, principally touching the purity of his blood?a question now of little importance. Mr. Collings' sale having settled the public judgment and taste?obtaining a higher price than any other breeder for his stock. The origin of the Duchess Short Horn, a famous strain of cattle, which have become so popular, and sell at such enormous prices, one cow of New York Mills Herd having brought forty thousaud dollars, are descended.from Charles Collines' Herd, Thomas Bates having bought of Collings two cows, one in 1804 and one in 1810.. Mr. Bates selected this tribe from hav? ing found that they were great powers, quick feeders, with fine qualities of meat, consuming little food in proportion to the progress they made, and- also from finding that they were equally remarkable as great milkers; the first cow he bought gave seven gallons of milk per day, and the milk yielded eighteen pounds of butter in a week. It has been frequently as? serted that the Short Horns are bad milkers; indeed, that no sort of cattle are so deficient in milk, but this deficiency does not proceed from the cows being of the Short Horns. Had the llesh been neglected as much as the milk, and the property of giving milk as much cherished as the development of flesh, they would have been d'jep milkers. It would be to desire an impossibility to desire the full development of hesh, fat, and milk at the same time. But there is no large secretion of flesh and fat at one time, and a large secretion of milk at another, from the same cow, for it is unquestionably true, that every perfection in cattle?whether it be one of form, of quality of flesh, of disposition to fatten, or to yield milk, can be promoted and retained solely by the breeder's devoted attention to this particu? lar object, and if one object be allowed a para? mount importance and practice, other objects will suffer in proportion as they are neglected. The greatest yield of milk and butter on re? cord, is from a Short Horn cow. Mr. T. S. Cooper, of Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, has a Short Horn, nine years old, giving in good pasture, wheu in her flesh, thirty-two quarts of milk per day, and seventeeu pouuds of butter per week. Mr. George Law, of Baltimore, had an imported Short Horn cow, Sophy, which gave, when well fed aud in full milk, thirty eight quarts per day. In 1835, affidavits were sworn before a magistrate in the Uuited States, that an improved Short Horn produced at the rate of twenty pounds butter a week. They are not only great but also constant milkers, and seldom remain dry above six weeks or two months, before the time of calving. Many consider it a sufficient proof of false estiinato of the value of the Short Horns, that the price is ten times greater than the animals would bring as beef in market or than their proceeds amount to in the dairy. In deciding this point, it must be remembered that their value does not depend on their qualities for immediate use, but on their means of increasing the breed and improving our common stock. Suppose that a variety of wheat may be obtained, which will produce, with the same culture, five bushels more to the acre than our common wheat, consequently in buying wheat for the exclusive purpose of growing seed, a person could well afford to pay five or ten times the value of our common wheat; or you might take the Dickson cotton seed, which sold just after the war, and still sells for five dollars per bushel by David Dickson, which is twenty times the value of our common seed. There? fore, reasoning will show that the price of Short Horn cattle is not fictitious, but depends on their real value, which is increasing in? stead of decreasing, the prices paid this year being higher than ever. The First Bale of Cotton. The first bale of new cotton this year, classing I strict good ordinary, was grown on the Eio Grande, shipped from Brownsville, Texas, on i the 7th inst., and received at New Orleans on the 13th inst., to be forwarded to New York. The first bale last year came from the same place, and passed through New Orleans July 10th. As the crop along the Rio Grande ma ! tures early in June, the receipt of this bale is no indication of the forwardness of the present crop, which is acknowledged to be much later than last year. The New York Journal of Commerce thus alludes to the receipt of the new crop bale in that city: "The first bale of the new cotton crop of 1874 was received here yesterday by Messrs. Woodward & Stillman, commission merchants, 74 Wall street, and sold in front of the Exchange by J. H. Draper & Co., auctioneers, at 86 cents per pouud. to Messrs. Ernest Beyer & Co., exporters. It was grown by L. J. Haynes, of Cameron County, Texas, and consigned to Woodward & Stillman by E. 'Yturria & Bro., of Brownsville, Texas. Messrs. Woodward & Stillman were the receiv? ers also of the first bale of last year's Texas crop on the 15th of July of that year. The grade of this cotton was good ordinary to strict good ordnary. The amusement and expecta? tions that surround the sale of the first bale of cotton of the season are interesting. In the South the man who produces the first bale is looked upon as a hero, and his name sounds along the cotton belt to rebound to the place of starting with accumulated honors. The buy? er (and the man's name this time is Beyer) ships it abroad, say to Bremen. In the course of a month or so the firm of Beyer & Co., will be known at Manchester and every cotton mart or manufacturing place in Europe as the buyers of the first bale of cotton, just as the buyer of the first ticket to the Jenny Lind concerts was distinguished for his enterprise, or the mer? chant who advertises his wares is distinguished for his perfect taste?the 'casting of bread up? on the waters.' Messrs. Woodward & Stillman do a large Texas business, and are as happy as the 'firstbale man' over their customer's success. There will be pleuty of first bales hereafter, from every State along the belt reaching up from Lousiaua to North Carolina, and embra? cing west the Indian Territory and Arkansas, and south the State of Florida. But this is the first bale?the bale of all bales, and all others this year must be significantly unimportant compared with it." Dreadful Homicide in Rabun County. ?About two weeks ago, Mr. Henry Fountain, a citizen of Rabun County, started from home to get cabbage plants, and while gone he met with one Taylor, also a citizen of the same County and perhaps a near neighbor. They had not been together a great while before there arose a dispute between them something about paying for a few drinks of whiskey. Fouutain appeared to want to settle the matter peaceably, but Taylor was not so disposed. So their quarreling was kept up until Taylor be? came so enraged that he raised his gun, which he was holding in his hand, and attempted to shoot Fountain, but the gun missed fire, the cap only bursting. This did not satisfy Taylor. He then struck Fountain on the head with the barrel of his gun, knocking him down, and dealing several blows with hisgun after he had fallen, crushing the skull. Fountain died in a few "hours. Taylor has escaped. This is the fourth murder committed in Rabun County in about twelve months, and strange to say they have all occurred on the same road, and within two or three miles of the same place. Out of the four, three of the murderers have escaped. ? North Georgia Herald. ? A hater of tobacco asked an old negro woman, the fumes of whose pipe were annoy? ing to him, if she thought she was a Christian. "Yes, brudder, I spect I is." <-Do you believe in the Bible?" "Yes, brudder." "Do you know that there is a passage in the Scriptures that declares that nothing unclean shall in? herit the kingdom of heaven?" "Yes, I've heard of it." "Well, Chloe, you smoke and you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, be? cause there is nothing so unclean as the breath of a smoker. What do you say to that?" "Why, I spects I leave my brefF behind when I go dar." ? The Pope was formally expelled from the Order of Freemasons by the Grand Lodge which met in Italy on March 27. He was con? nected with a lodge at Palcmo in his early youth, and charges were first preferred against him in 1865, but he refused to meet them. Sub? sequently, when he had cursed the order, and excommunicated all members of it, the charges were renewed, a regular trial was held, and a decree of expulsion was entered and published, signed by King Victor Emanuel, grand master of the Orient of Italy. ; ? The United States Senate is at present Democrats and five Liberals, with one vacancy.! If the opposition shall gain all the Senators to be chosen next year, the Republicans will still have a majority of the body. The House of Benresentatives composed of 195 Republicans, eighty-eight Democrass, and four Liberals. There are several vacancies. The opposition have a very large majority to overcome, but by careful management it is evident that they can very nearly if not quite overcome it. ? Scbuyler Colfax would seem to be in a beatific state of mind. In a recent Fourth of Jyly oration he declared that in politics now? adays men are elevated to a position only to have mud thrown at them; but he believed that there is still left the assurance that right will prevail and be done them at the open grave. This is a beautiful sentiment. ? The Singalese language stands in the front I rank of all spoken tongues?so far as names of places arc concerned. In the Veraloowa dis? trict there is a village termed "Galliappocon duracirrhacoomhenn." Another hamlet close by is styled "Keeuloollepoodama." A few more are, "Ouekllapoodamakauda."Boodoogey kondamowa." ? The following is a simple mode of render? ing water almost as cold as ice: Let the jar, pitcher or vessel used for water be surrounded with one or more folds of coarse cotton kept constantly wet. The evaporation of the water will carry ofFthe heat from the inside and re? duce it to a freezing point. ? A married lady, who was in the habit of spending most of her time in the society of her neighbors, happened to be taken ill, and sent her husband in great haste for a physician. The husband ran a short distance, and then re? turned, exclaiming, "My dear, where shall I find you when I come back?" ? A young fellow in a Western town was fined $10 for kissing a girl against her will and the following day the damsel sent him the amount of the fine, with a note saying that the next time ho kissed her he must be less rough about it, and be careful to do it when her father was not about. ? Many women are marty- -, and yet they do not know it. They shut the sunshine out of their houses and their hearts; they wear veils; they carry parasols and everything pos? sible to keep off the most potent influence which is intended to give them strength and beauty and cheerfulness. ? The Chicago Tribune says: "Where there is no credit, there will be little enterprise or capital; and where there is no capital, there is little of anything that makes life desirable or enjoyable. Where there is no credit, foreign capital wiil not come, and home capital will not stay." J. Eakle Lewis, Republicans, nineteen NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi? gestion and Torpidity of the Liver, and relief is always anxiously sought after.

The table shows that sales of the Singer ex? ceed those of any other Company, for tho pe? riod named, by the number of 113,254 Machines, or nearly double those of any other Company. It may bo further stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with those of 1872, show a relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of other makers, than of any other year. For in? stance, in 1872 we sold 45,000 Machines more than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, tho sales were 113,254 Machines in Excess of our Highest Competitor. These figures are all tho more remarkable, for the reason that the sales of the principal Companies in 1S73 are less than their sales in 1872; whereas, as has been shown, our sales have largely increased. Tho account of sales is from sworn returns made to tho owners of tho Sewing Machine Patents. It will hardly be denied, that tho superiority of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated.

"A corrupt tree," saith the Inspired Vol J\_ umc, "bringeth forth not good fruit." nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty and good flesh or spirits. "The Blood is the Life," and health am only bo enjoyed in its fall perfection where the blood is kept in a pure and uncorrupted state, hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, lonsr life and happiness. AN IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD, manifests itself in different forms of diseases, such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Sores, While Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic Affections of the Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the blood, and neutral? ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it*courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pulastion. Dr. Pcmberton's Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will POSITIVELY effect this desideratum, expelling every trace of disease from the blood and system, and leaving tho skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL. For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival. It will cure any Chronic or Long Standing Disease whoso real or direct cause is Bad Blood. Rheumatism, Pains in Limbs or Bones, Constitutions Broken Down by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by it. For Syphilis, or Syphilictic Taint, there is nothing equal to it. A trial will prove it. It is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood.
