? ?. ,... ,,,,1"._ I- -, ? ) WmM? T??LMJ, A, party of three were walling in the Snrden. Madame Fanshawe carne first be was a little old lad/, and would hare made you'think of a fairy, with her gold headed cane, her glittering puffs of whit-a hair, her black eyes, bright as diamonds, her long hooked nose, her sharp carving chin. The young lady with her had a face like some rich-hoed tropical flower; the lipa scarlet and sweet; the lovely dark eyes shining. She bad a yellow rose in her black hair and another at ber belt. The third person was a gentleman about twen'y-eight, rather pale, but very handsome and haughty looking. The three had just left the breakfast tablo, and. came out together for a stroll in madame's lovely rose garden. The young gentleman was madame's son ; the young lady was ber adopted daughter. The BOU by blood, and the daughter by adoption, were to ho married in a few weeks. Madame nos not pleased that it should be so, but ber son was his own castor; and, after all, though she did not know who her parents were. Tdele was a girl to be proud of. 80 she submitted with seeming good grace. Madame was the flrst to discover that something unusual und strange in the put h ahead of them, and hastening on, with the aid ot ber gold-beaded staff, reached it beforo the ot'i ft, who were gazing into each other's e;. A, came up, What madame had discovered was Ibo i.ody of a youth of perhaps fourteen, ter ribly deformed, but having a beautiful face and fair, curling bair. Ho was clothed in a gay velvet suit, trimmed with lace, ana wore scarlet ho-':: ; an* handsome shoes with shining buckles. Ile lay upon his side, and a knifo was sticking in his back, whose curved bandlo of silver procliiimcd it to be no common weapon. Close. by was a summer house over frown with roses, honeysuckle and sweet riar. Madame bent down td look closer; then she uttered a scream and started back. "Philip!" she cried. "Philip, como here. It is Cock Bobin ; some one killed him. Look at the knife in his back !" Philip Franshawe stepped 'quickly be tween |h'j girl he loved and that ghastly sight. lint some fascination drew !de!e for ward. She looked once. - It was enough. With a stealthy, shuddering movement her white hand crept, first to the flower in her hair, then to the ono nt ber belt, and tearing both out,_ she dropped them, crushed in the?path. 1 The real name of the murdered boy was Bobby Reese; but aoir.e one lind dubbed him Cook Bobin one day, and the name bad stuck to him. He was what is called half-witted, and was the only child of a favorito servant of Madame Franshawe's. He was sort of pet with medame. one of whoso whims it had been .to deck him in such Agery as this ho wore now. "You had better go into tho house, mother," said Philip; "you and Idele, and seud Biddie to him. This ia no place for you," "Who is to tell bia mother?" cried m ad nr.c. shrilly. "Nora'll go mad-" "Tell W yourself. Walt-here sho is now. She hos missed him." A woman* was coming towards them with her apron to nor eyes. She was crying. "I can't find my little Ind, madame." she said,-as soon as sha was near enough. "His bed's not beer, slept in all night. I'm sore troubled for the boy." And then, as both Philip and Madame Fanshavye had jiepped between .'her and poor slain Cock Robin, she caught a glimpse of his blue velvet jacket, and Sung herself past them like a mad crea ture. Idolo turned and ran suddenly frbm tho Bound of those frightful screamo, geing straight to her own room and locking her- ? self in. .She had not been there long when Madame Fanshawe came. "Let me.in quickly, Idele," Bbo callod, in an imperative tone, "I must Bpenk with you instantly-instantly, do you hear?" Idele opened the . door. Her hair was. tumbled, ber eyes were red. She was trembling. '* "Did you wish to speak to rae; Mad arno ?" she ask?d looking down. As? thon Madame Fanshawo pulled something out of her pocket and flashed it-fcefore her. lt was a Btring pf carbuncles, each bead joined to its "fellow by a golden link. . Idelo.glanced at them indifferently. "I had net missed them," abo said. "Where did you And thee* Vf Madame advanced into the room and shut tho door. "I found them in tho summer houso near whioh poor, murdered Cock Bobin lies." flho".aaid, m a shrill, whisper, and smiled to see the flower-like lace blanch at tho words. "No one knows whets I fruind thurn. (Jin atcrnv at LsSYC my house without seeing Philip again, and hide yourself from him from this -day,audi will keep your secret Slay and I will publish it. to the winda and help hunt you to your doom." "And ouly yesterday," said Idele, with quivering lipe, "thia morning, even, you called mo daughter." "But never let you call mo mother. I clea upon a?. "I havo w?ro?d^o?,'' she said. . ''Stay at your peril; Exchange 'but o??\ wird with Phillp; and I will very soon ?et you khow ?^Xb?llev^ Sho left tba r??cs,. It was no paift of madame's plans that Idele should really bo suspected. Shu only wanted to separaterer from Philip. Whon.eho found her, room vacant, she concealed ber abaeece at first on ? pre tence of illness, and then after 3- time gave out that she-had gone to visit a rel ative of her own. . Philip, "however, had to . be told some thing nearer.the truth. So she told him wisresno roucidthootriflgor. carburjcl?*. -and how Jdele looked when she'slowed ihcrfl. to her. But not a word moro; "It ia very strange," said Phillp ; won uerlaglyv "I shall sco\d-her well for having kort r^ets from me, wheh I "You will cover marr* her aifar'.fcfcfa'f" madame asked, with looks ol horror.

"Its tbe man that killed my Bobby, and I know it !'' she screamed. The man fought ber a little at first, but when she said that he stopped, and lean? ed against tbs wall, gaspiag and starting with staring eyes, while the blood fofl from bis wound npon the floor. "What do you mean?" lie asked. "How do you know I killed him ?" "I heard the others call you Carlo, and Carlo was un the knife, i know it was youl" "Dovcu mean that truly?" he said. "Yes, I did kill him. I'll own up, for I bel ?ere I'm dying myself-now." Philip Fansbawe sprang forward and caught bim as ho was falling, and they lain bim gently down upon the fioor. "It was the cruelest tping I ever did," he werne on in a regretful tone. "It was," said Philip, mendy. "Why did you kill bim?" The man stared at Philip. . "Why, you're tho fellow Idele was to have married," be said. "Do you love ber yet?" . "I shall love her till I die!" Philip an swered, setting his lips. "What were you to her?" "I belonged to the gypsy band who stole her from her father's house a babe. I was present when the madame took a fancy to her, and paid the band money to give her up to her. When I heard she was going to rn rr ry you. I thought I saw ray way to make some money. I pretended to be her father, and got her to meet me in the summer-house that uight, and talk it over. She didn't be lieve me, bat abo said ?he would think about what I said. And then sh? picked sonn, yellow roses, nnd told me if I pass ed ii'j st morning, and saw her wearing them, I might know abo ?till refused to believe me. "After she had gone I went out and found thc boy there listening, and I kili ed him, partly in temper, partly because I waa afraid he would tell what ho had heard. Poor Idele ! Thc sight of that dead boy convincer", her I had told the truth, or I would not have killed him to !:cep it from being known ; and she fled (.'om him to avoid betraying the mun she supposed t? be her father." "Do you know where she is now ?" Philip asked, his face darkening in spite of him. ?".She is living with ber own mother as lady's companion. Her mother is the widW of Lord Tidliver. They nfc fond of euch other, but they do uot guess thc truth. They are at Tulliver's' Park in Yorkshire now." Sucii ?vas tho substance of Carlo's story, omitting the many interruptions, the long pauses, cuused by his weak aun dying condition. t?o died tho next day. Dut- he lived long enough to complete nnd attest by solemn oath, ul I these statements, ns well as to tell whoro other witnesses to their truth mjght be found. Philip lost no time in seeking his last love, and brought her back to Fansbawe I-?all au hie wile, with little delay as ?pos sible. Madame, his mother, was very glad to see her. . "I always liked you my dear. You know I was as fond of you as I could be till Philip wanted to marry you." she. said coolly to Idele.. "But I had.follow-' ed you to tho summer-house that night, and Cock Bobin waa nfl the only listener there. I wonder if .that wretch would have killed mo it he hud found me. I believed him when bo said ho was your futhe?\ nnd you know I could not let Philip marry the daughter qf a man like that-a murderer;'too," jj Mn. TILDKN'S PROSPECTS.-It was mentioned recently that the large majori ty of Democratic members of Congress would bo strongly opposed to any reopen ing of tho olectqiral. count. Probably as large if not a larger number, are op posed to any idea ot making Mr. Tilden tho nominee! in 1880,? and Mr. Mills of Texas, in what he said ou the fioor of the House on FriJay 'last represented tbflt sentimont. A very prominent pub lic man, and a very personal friend of Mr. Tilden, said in conversation with your correspondent lb*? trouble with Mr. Tilden was that be was indecisive, and that h? waa not a hero. He hau been taken up by the people because he represented the great principio of re form. Ile had been elected on that plat form, and it war his misfortune tb&t he lacked those qualities which would have enabled bim to seise the victory he had won. Another gentleman, onoof the Democratic counsel before the electoral commission, nave that nothing could have kept Mr. Tilden from the Presidency had be only publicly, c.rly in the winter, uttered the one sentence that ho meant to have the office to which he had been elected, and expected tho people to stand by him. Then'Mr. Tilden, in der.yhfg now that he. favored the, project of at), electoral commission, takes Issue with rino nf hi? 'nnarrsi frimiu ?hr. ;_L-fd.~ stood aiiii to assent to it.

Beal Bigniacariee of that IJMo Word, i _ -. . . . lt wouirt bo curious to know bow many of your readers have brought fully home to their inner consciousness the real sig* nificance of that little word "billion/' which we hate seen of late so glibly used in your columns. There'ar?, indeed, few intellects that can fairly grasp it and digest it as a whole ; and there are, doubtless, many thousands who cannot appreciate its true work, eveu when re duced to fragmenta for more easy assimi lation.* Ita arithmetical symbol is sim ple and without much pretension ; thcrj are no large figures-just a modest 1 followed bya dozen ciphers, and iii it is all. - Let us briefly take a glance nt it as i m ('.-Mire of timo, distance, arid weight. As a measure of time, I would take one second as the unit, und carry myself in thought through the lapse of ages back to the tir.it day of the year 1 of our era, remembering that in all those yesrs we hare 365 days, and in every day just 86,400 seconds of time. Hence, in re turning in thought back again to this year of grace, 1878, one might have sup* po*ed that a billian of seconds hud Mug since clapxed, but this is not so. Wc have not even passed one-sixteenth of that number in ail thone eventful yean, for it takes just 31,687 year?, 17 'i-^ys, 22 bourn, 45 minutes, and 6 secor.ds to constitute n billion nf seconds or time. It is no eafV matter to brirg under the cognizance of tho human aye a billion object? of any kind. Lot us try in im agination to arrunge this number for in spection, and for this purpone I would select a sovereigu as a familir object. Let us put one on thc ground and pile upon it as many as will reach twenty feet in height ; then let us pince num bers of similar columns in clone contact, forming a straight line, and making u sort of wall twenty feet high, showing only the thin edges of tho coin. Iimfgiue two such walls running parallel to each other and forming, as it were, a long street. Wo must then keep un extend ing these walls for mile?-nay, hundreds of miles-and still wo shall bc far short of the required number. . And it is not until wo hnvo extended our imaginary .street to a distance of 2,386} miles that we shall have presented for inspection our one billion of coins, Or in lieu nf this arrangement wo may pince them flat upon thc ground, forming one continuous lino like a golden chain, with every link in close contact. Rut to do this we must pass over land and sea. mountain' and valley, desert and plain, crossing the equator, and returning around thc southern hemisphere through tlie trackless ocenn, retrace our way again across tho equator, then stili on and on, until we again arrive nt our starting point ; und we have thus passed n golden chaiu around the hugo bulk of the earth, we shall bo but at tho begin ning of our tusk. Wc munt drag this imaginary chain no ?eds than 763 times ronud tho globe. If wo can further im age all these rows of links* laid closely side by eido, and every one in contact, with its neighbor, wo shall have formed a golden hand around thc globe just 52 feet 6 inches wide ; and this will repre sent our ono billion of co'rs. Such n chain, if laid in n straight lino, would reach a fraction over 18,328,445 miles, the weight of which, it estimated at one quarter ounce each sovereign, would be b.975,447 tons, nnd wouhi require for their transport no less than 2,325 ships, each with a full cargo of .?3,000 tons. Even then there would be a residuo of 447 tons, represor ti ig 64,08i,?)20 sover eigns. For a measure of height lot. us' take a much smaller unit us our measuring rod. Tho ttl in sheets of paper on which these lines are printed, if laid out fiat and firmly pressed together, as in a well * bound book, would represent a measure of about 1.333d of an inch in thickness. Let us seo bow high a denBu pile formed by a billion of these thin paper leaves would reach. Wo must, in imagination, piie them vertically un .'ard,-by degrees roaching to the height of our tallest spires; and, passing these, tho pile must still grow higher, topping tho Alps, and tho Andes, and tho highest peaks ol' the Himalaya1', and shooting up from thence through tho fleecy clouds, pass boyond tho couflncs of our attenuated atmor phere, and leap uo into tho blue ether with which the universo is filled, stand ing proudly up far beyond tho reach of terreslrlAV. thingH : ?tili pile on your thousands'nnd millions of thin leaves, for we aro only beginning* to roar tho piighty mass. Add millions on millions of* sheets, ard thousands of miles on these, and Htill the number will lack its due amount. Let us pause to look ut the neat plowed edges of this book bo fore us. Sou how closely lie those thin flukes of paner, how many there ara in thc mero width of n span, and then turn our oyes in imagination upward to our mighty column of sccumulated sheets.

Jersey Cattle* ' Last week we ga.ve sereral instances of I tho rpm*iV*h'e yields of milk and butter ? ?rom Mme choice Jersey) cows la Ney England. It mast be remembered that this milking is done without tho calf ; for as noon as the calf is born f. is sepa rated, from the moths* and ts ight to drinr WKT^ The finger ls wet with fresh roi lr, the hand is submerged under the milk in a vessel with the finger pro jecting, and the calf being induced to follow the finger already thrust into bis mouth, it is quietly and slowly drawn und.*" the milk, and as it recedes the calf continues to suck, and presently drinks ir. the milk from the vessel. In a very short time the young calf is thus taught to drink mirk from a pan, which sitould bo given to it two cr three times a day fresh and warm as it io drawn from the cow for perhaps a week, -nay be less time. Then a little warmed skimmed milk is-added, and twice a day this is given for three or four weeks, and after that time skimmed milk alone in given, and if it should be in cold weather the milk is warmed and a little meal or bran is stirred into it. How different is this treatment from what is seen ou most Souther;; farms ? It is an exception if on tho average ?Southern farm the cook does not also milk. If the cows are too numerous for her; then a negro woman is employed for that purnong, and many's the time have wo watched them, an they would, with the inevitable pipe in mouth, go march ing to the "c.upp??n" (cowpen) with the fumes of their savory pipe regaling the milk piggin, carried so skilfully on their heads. The gap will bo let down just low enough to make the calf jump into the pen with his mother, and at lier he will go sucking and hunching his mam ma's udder for several minutes while the ebony milkmaid enjoys* the aforesaid pipe. When "Buke' has had d lew mo ment* of rumination nnd time to "let down her milk," apia di goes a half buck et of water on the cr w's udder, and a sort of pulling nt the .cats and rubbing the udder to make it at least 'ook clean ; and then after a f-vr moment' of pulling at an already emptied and chilled udder, the cow boy ir told, "turu in nnnt.der calf," which tJ before jumps the bars, trot? off to his mother, and goes through wi h the same hunching process, till he almost empties tho udder, before the milk woman gets ready to "knock him riff." by batUnng uway at his kness with a huge stiek from the opposite side of the cow. Any wonder, then, that Southern farm? er? require a half dozen cows to yield them au aggregate of a half pound of butter a day? lt is a general rule, too, that should a calf die the cow is turned out with the "dry cattle." for it is the next tiling to an impossibility to got a negro woman to milk a cow without hav ing tho calf to suck first. Of course, the policy of the' dairyman is to get nil the milk he can, and for thiB reason he separates the calf at birth from the cow, but allows neither to suffer from want of proper food and nourishment. And any cow that is accustomed to have the calf suck hcrbe??is milking will bo very uneasy and hard to milk for a few days after being separated from the enif, but with kind treatment and a plenty to eat, she will soon forget her calf and milk as easily os if tho calf were constantly with her. It would be impossible to produce a breed of cattle that were unexception ably perfect. Some men want to grow cattle for beef. The Jersey's don't suit them. Others wish to grow for beauty as well as milk. We do not think the Jerseys excel in br-auty. The bend of a Jersey is more like that of a deer that: like tho Durham ~: Devon, and with their mild, mellow, good-natured ex pression of countenance, as is shown by their eyes,'they are as far back as the shoulder the most attractive of all cattle ; but thc immense udders alone redeem their otherwise ragged hinder parts. The Cows nre almost always good-na tured, kind and timid. The same cannot be said of the bulls. So far ns we have been able to learn from observation and inquiry Jersey bulls are disposed.to be naughty. Tbs finest Jersey nulls we ever saw weref what in nocent people would call, dangerous ani mal:!. Whether'it is their nature so to be we are unable to say, but they are easily taught to be vicious. They are naturally gentle and intelligent, but if improperly bandied they are very quick to learn bad babita. - This moen might bo said, however, of all animals, and we have seen .icgroes who could learn, and indeed would make every, animal placed in their keeping so vicious that none but themselves couta manage them. There i* no reason, however,, that such should be the case with the Jersey bull more than with any other. We have been asked latterly, Whero can the pure Jerseys bo bought? They are grown for sale at very high figures in each Of the New England S ta tea, and the prices wo have always considered merely fancy. All farmers know thnt it will not do to risk transporting a grown cow from a Northern to a Southern" latitude, hence to buy a cow in any Northern State would" be folly. Calves, hov .er, will bear transportation, and are held at fool ishly extravagant figu.-es, in New Eng land, g ?Sumo of the most noted' herders pretend to ask $200 on the farm fora yearling. Mr. Richard Petors, of Atlanta, Ga., Mr. Campbell Brown, of Spring Hill, Maury County, Tennesseo, and another in Mississippi (whoso name we have lost) are the un ly Southerners that we know of who bave and aro paying much attention to the growth of Jersey cattle. The Mis sissippi herd came principally from Mr. Brown. Mr. Petors brought his from the North, and we are not aware of his ever having imported any direct. Mr. Brown bas somo that were imported by Mr. Waring, of Newport, R. I. His prices are from $6U to 8100- for bull calves six months to a year old, nocurely boxed and placed in the hands of the Express Com pany. Heifers from $30 to $60. Last fall wo purchased a full blood bull calf six months old, and grade calf from Col. Brown, and tho expressage from Spring Hill to Cokesbury waa $86.75. Littlo encouragement to buy.
