A cat bom with two legs has been ribed by^ad?auinanian naturalist. It {fiTwith the body in normal position, it when startled or watching, it raises to the attitude of a kangaroo, .it* tail as a support. Of its four 3, two' have had two feet and the lintless Cotton, We saw the lintless cotton plants on exhibition at the Exposition in Ealeigh. The plante show a wonderful productive? ness of bolls', or rather pods, of seed. This plant is evidently a freak of na? ture or what we commonly call a sport. | Nature has simply left off the coma or hairy appendage to the outer coating of the seed. Whether this plant; can be cultivated wirb profit remains to be seen. One thing is evident, it will be a much more exhaustive plant than the ordinary form of cotton will reqire strong? er land for its culture. It must be re? membered that it is the seed of cotton which makes the heaviest upon the soil. In the seed are formed the main part of what are known as the ash ele? ments of the plant and the large part of the nitrogen. All these must come from the soil. The lint of cotton all comes from the air, through the assimilating organs of the foliage under the influence of sunlight - It is a pure carbohydrate, the purest form of what is known as Cellulose or woody film. If we therefore substitute for the or? dinary form of cotton a variety which has a profusion of the soil exhausting seeds and none of the air-made lint, it is very evident that we made a more severe drain upon our soil, which- must be sup? plied artificially if a good crop is expect? ed. It remains to be seen, as I said, whether the lintless cotton will produce an excess of oil more than sufficient to replace the loss of the lint and to pay for the heavy manuring it will need. To have this proved satisfactorily, the originator or those in whose hands this freak occurred should place the seed at the disposal of the experiment sta? tions in the cotton States, so that the pnblic may have an unbiased test. The claim made' that land may be enriched by growing this variety of cotton for the sake of the meal is simply preposter? ous. That cotton-seed meal is a good source of nitrogen is well known, but the plant gets this nitrogen from the soil, and it m?t be there for it to get. Cotton does not belong to the class of plants which accumulate nitrates by means of ferments in the roots, as the legumes do, and the nitrogen must be prepared for it in the soil, either artifi? cially or by a proceeding crop of peas or clover. S Bnt even if it did accumulate nitrogen in the soil, nitrogen is not a com? plete plant's food, and land cannot be made rich by adding nitrogen only. The leguminous plants, which are so active in fixing nitrates in the soil, are only en? abled to do so by abundant supplies of potash, lime and phosphoric acid, much of which their deep root systems enable them to bring up from the lime soil which ordinary plants do not reach. These mineral elements restored to the soil by plowing, nnder the leguminous crops remain there till some plant calls for them, being taken and held by the absorptive power of the soil. Not bo with the nitrogen. It must get into the form of a nitrate before any plant can use it, and nothing so rapidly leaches away from the soil as the nitrates. Any one who grows; the lintless cotton with the expectation of enriching his land without using manure from other sources is destined to be disappointed. If the yield of :sedp per acre will come anywhere near what is claimed for it, it is possible that with rich soil and heavy manuring it may give a paying crop of oil and meal. The chief value of the plant it seems to me will be in the hands of s skillful hybridizer for crossing on lint bearing cotton, with the hope of combining the productive? ness of the plant with cotton produc? tion capacity. A cotton plant bearing lint and making 8s many bolls as this would be a great acquisition, and, as we j have Been, would not be any more ex I hauative to the soil than this plant, i Used in this way for artificial seed breeding, the lintless cotton may be in? duced to put on its wo-.ly covering again and prove of great value. In its present state it is more of a curiosity than anything else. What the South needs, more than more cotton seed meal, is the culture of forage crops and the feeding of animals, whose manure will not only furnish nitrogen] but all the other elements' of fertility as well; and a proper rotation of crops, so that a failure of the cotton crop will not be so seriously felt. Let the cotton seed be the incident rather than the object of the crop, f? ed all the cotton seed you j make, and add a plenty of good bay, keep good stock and farm your lands, so that there will be a constant improvement in their productiveness.

Magistrate: Certainly, that is assault and battery. Well, I'll come around in about a month and make the charge. Why not have him arrested at once? Well, you see, when he slapped me I hit him in the head with a rollin' pin, and he's now in the hospital, and the doctors say he won't be able to get out for a month yet. I ? A colored "friend and brother" in a Southern State, twenty years or more ago, was made a trial justice, says a Lewiston paper, and presently heard his first case. He listened to the evidence and the ar? guments of lawyers, and then seemed at a loss what to do next. Seeing his dilem? ma, one of the lawyers nudged him. "Now charge the jury," said the lawyer. Tho justice thereupon rose and said: "Bredren, dis am a small case, an' I BhalL charge you but a dollar and Effoci of Water on Horses. A horse can live twenty-five days without solid food, merely drinking wa? ter; seventeen days without eating or drinking; and only five days when eat? ing solid food without drinking. An idea prevails among horsemen that a horse should never be watered oftener than three times a day, or in twent" four hours. Thia is not ouly a mistaken idea, I but a very brul?l practice. A hor.-e's stomach is extremely sensitive, and will suffer under the least interference, caus? ing a feverish condition. Feeding a horse principally on grain and driving it five hours without water is like giving a man salt mackerel for din? ner and not allowing him tu drink until supper time?very unsatisfactory to the man. If you know anything about the care of horses and have any sympathy for them, water (hem 83 often as they want to drink?orce an hour, if possible. By doing this, you will not on? ly be merciful to your animals, but you will be a benefactor to yourself, as they will do more work; they will be health? ier; they will look better; and will be less liable to coughs and colds, and will live longer. If you are a skeptic and know more about horses than any else, you are posi? tive that the foregoing is wrong, because you have had horses to die with watering them too much, and boldly say that the agitators of frequent waterings are fools in your estimation, and you would not do such a thing. Just reason for a moment and figure out whether the animal w;.uld have over-drank and over-chilled its stomach if it had not been allowed to be? come over-thirsty. A horse is a great deal like a man. Let him get overwork? ed, over-starved or abused, and particu? larly for want of sufficient drink in wftrm weather, and the consequences will al? ways be injurious. Sensible hostlers in large cities are awakened to the advant? ages of frequent watering. Street car horses are watered every hour, and some? times oftener, while they are at work. It is plenty of water that supplies evapora? tion or respiration and keeps down the temperature. What old fogy methods amount to may be seen by the change in medical practice to man. Twenty years ago a person hav? ing a fever of any kind or pneumonia was allowed but little water to drink, and then it had to be tepid. To-day practitioners prescribe all the ice water the patient can possibly drink; and in addition, cold bandages are applied to reduce and control the temperature of the blood. What is applicable to man never hurts a horse. Use common sense and hu? man feeling. Don't think it is a horse and capable of enduring any thing. A driver who sits in his wagon and lushes his worn out, half carried, half-fed and half watered team should never" complain of any abuse he may receive from bis master or employer, for be is lower in character, harder in sympathy and less noble than the brntes he is driving, and deserves, in the name of all that is hu? man, the punishment of a criminal.? The Chicago Clay Journal. Pozzies in Relationship. A strange relationship exists in the family of a couple of Englishmen in this State. Some ten years ago two brothers named Beers came to this country from England and settled on a small farm in Manefee County Things prospered with them, and soon one of the brothers, Philip, becoming tired of the. lonely life on the farm, wooed and won Miss Liz? zie Johnson, a young rural beauty. They were married and lived happily togeth? er nearly eight years Something how? ever, disturbed the harmony of their married life, for last summer Philip applied for ami obtained a divorce. Life seemed to have- lost all charms for him. In the meantime the oiher hi her, Louis also tired ol the nclucky lot i" the lone bachelor, began to taet about him for a helpmate, and must have riitc->ver ed in his-brother's late wife the emu of all his future happiness, for the\;)lage near which the brothers resided was one day suddenly electrified to hefu'tbat Louis and the grass widow bad been made one. The news came to J'nilip who simply smiled and replied : "JN'over mind ; my inning comes next." Little attention was paid to t; t> re? mark, and no one thought of the s fHoge denoument that would follow, laoor dinary routine life of the mouutaiu vil? lage went smoothly on, until a day or so ago, the villagers were astonisned to hear that Philip Beers and Mrs John? son, bis ex wife's mother and his Moth? er's mother in-law, had been quietly married. Then there was conster idtion in the family of Mrs. Louis Beers. The neighbors and friends of the sev? eral parties are now busily engaged trying to figure out the relationship of the several parties to each other's rela? tives.?Kentucky Correspondence Philadel? phia Times ?

The animal is seven years old, will weigh close on two thousand pounds, has horna that will measure six feet from tip to tip and has only three legs. The hind legs are perfect, but in front there is only one leg, located in the center of the body on the part of the body where the front limbs are on an or? dinary steer, and is about the size of two ordinary legs. The steer is wild and when discovered took the lead of a small herd of mavericks and skipped out for a hiding place.
