77-77777 Alone With the Gorilla. Says a writer: we heard from a straggler in the street that the fire was at Barnum's Museum. This gave renewed force to our feet and we fairly flow along the street. When we reached the spot what a sight was before us I The great building was ablaze or. the two top floors, and several streams were already pouring water on it. 'Tho night, or rather morning, was bitter cold, and every bit of water that struck the lower part of the street would freeze at once. Even long stalactites of ice were beginning to form on the adjoining build ings where the hose was played on them, and the red glare of the fire, now under strong headway, lit them up like gold. The suffering animals within the museum, imprisoned and caged, began to moan and roar. The fire, the ice, and the wild cries of the poor animals, nade the night one of horror indeed. Just at this innient, with a gret crash, right throuirh a plate glass window on the first floor, a splendid tiger sprang. He lit in thc street and stood for a moment at bay, and many a voice li the crowd cried: "Shoot him shoot him?" We hail given our hose to a steamer, and the water being just let into it the fireman with the nozzle put the stream full against the aninal. Its force and wasb carried him off from his feet, and a moment afterwards "one of the finest," with a revolver put two balls into his body and finished him. I then made my way into the burning building from the basement and gained the first floor. A flight of steps was before nie, and at the top I could, through the smoke, make out a door. I mounted the stairs to render what aid I could. As I got about to the middle the heat warped and cracked the door, and it fell to one side, and there beyond, making right for these stairs, was the big gorilla l Oh, never shall I forget that dread moment. The big flames began to lick the walls, and the whole space beyond that dreadful I beast was a blaze of fire. The heat aid < smoke were awful, and I felt my limbs I shake as pals' 4 as I looked, spellbound, at the awful I. v mass at the top of the steps. I could hear the heavy thud of his huge foot as he moved or ghded to the stairs. 1 could see lis great, ionstrous body writhe almost with heat. The stairs were narrow, and, great heaven I when he reached me what would beome of me I I stood transfixed, spellbound with an awful terror. One hand clasped the ban. isters and one the wall, and I could not have moved one finger on either of those hands to have saved my life. I heard o the axes of the firemen breaking through I the floors I I thought a thousand thoughts i in a second, but I could not niove a hair's breadth. I even counted the steps between the monster and miyself. There were but six-only six littlo short steps between me I and grim death. The beast caie slowly i on, glaring horribly at me. There wero i but four steps. W%ill lie seize me in i those horrible arms of his, thought I, from E which - the matted, coarse hair hung, and toss mc into the burning, seething mass of fire and flame beyond us I Another step I he caie. Oh, heaven I but one little short step now. I made a superhuman effort to move, if but a muscle ; but alas I I could not. The loathsome body of the brute touched me. My breath came in gasps anldl my heart stood still, awe-stricken. One dread claw-like hand upon my shoul- I der as the other arm of the wilt beast ( was raised to his neck. He tugge(i there I a moment as if for breath and strength. j Now I sickened and shuddered as lie threw F the great mass of hair and hide over lis a head and revealed a rough Celtic face t within, and asked in hurried, frightened, R and strong I-libernian tones: "For the love I of St. Patrick show am the way out of this?" i 'The Liamun.

Severtzov, has been dtelerib lig the result of his observations to the * Russian OIeogrraphical Society, one result being the dissipation of theo aiccepted deC lusion that the Pamir is a lateau. It is not even a reg!on of steppes. There are, indeed, valleys along the rivers up to a height of 14,000 feet, but these are never w 1der than 20 versts at the utmlost, andn no * pFl'dns of greater breadth are to be foun:mi in the whole regionl. Above these valleys mlourtain ranges rIse to a height of 6,000 or 7000 feet ; many rliges attain an abso - - lute height above the sea of 19,000 feet. andh some eveni 25,000 feet. Trhe ridges of the Pamiir all run in the (direction of the meridlan, therchmi differing from the Tien Shan range, which, according to the evi *dence obtainedi by M. Sevcrtzov, must at -one periodl have been separatedI from the formcr by a great inlet of the sea. Although - the region between the two ranf;c rises to a height of 10,000 feet, they differ essen ti~ally in geological structure. The Pamir ~ still seems to be rising in height, M. 8c- r vertziv stating that lie obtained evidence to a - prove that it had risen 600 feet during thet last 1,200 years.

MILKING Cows. -Cows are generally milked twice a day, sometimes oftener: but twice Is enough, unless the cow sheds her milk, or the udder is foand of insuf filent capacity to hold It. The time re. quired to milk will vary with the clroum stances. When and where mtlking is done for transportation to some distant market early milking in the morning is neccessary. It should be done regularly, whether it is earlier or later. As a rule no milker should be required to milk more than twelve cows morning and evening; some can milk fifteen cows, but generally one's arms and hands get tired by the time twelve cows are milked. The time for milking a cow must vary according to con. ditions- one cow may be milked in four minutes, while an other may require fifteen or twenty minutes in order to be milked thoroughly clean. If milking is not care fully, regularly and theroughly done, the quality of milk produced will be daily diminished. If any is left in the udder it Lends to dry the cow or shrink her daily yield of milk. Great care must therefore be exercised in this regard. The strip. pings increase the quantity of cream not only, but the flavor and quality of the butter also. Road the following state. ments. "We fl;led several large teacups of f the same size," said Dr Anderson of Bath, England," commeneing with milk at beginning of the milking and others at regular intervals, till the last, which was Biled with the stripphngs or ssrokings. rhese were severally weighed, so as to isertain that the quantity of It was the ainme, and after repeating this experiment i number of times with different cows the results were stated as follows: The quan. Jty of cream for the first drawn cup was n every case much inferior and smaller han that from the last cup drawn, those )etween giving less or more as they were icarer the beginning or the end. In the ,ase of some cows the variation of cream rom the dirat cup to the last was in the )roportion of sixteen to one. 'rho differ nce in quulity was much greater than In luaitity. In the first cup the cream was ,hin, and in the last cup the cream was hicker and richer In color, more so than of my other. The difference In the quality )f the milk that remained after the cream ,ias still greater than either in respect to be quantity and quality of the cream. ['he milk of the first cup was thin and lIsh, as if a large propotion was water, vhile that of the last cup was of a thick oneistency and of yellow color, more like hat of cream than of milk, both in appear. inco and taste. A little mess fed to a :ow while milking has a good effect, and he meanwhile yields her milk more freely. %a nearly as possible, observe twelve hours )etween milking, a rule of more import ce thant at first might seem to a careless nilker. The beating of a cow with a nilking stool, or kicking with your feet, hould never be allowed. RED-TOP FoI LAwNs.--We are assured )y an experienced gentleman that the red ,op is the best grass for lawns. This is romething new to us, but when we con. iidcr the manner in which this variety of grass grows, we are inclined to think that t would do well for such a purpose. It -equires from fifteen to sixteen pounds to he acre. We suggested a small mixture )f white clover, say one-fourth, but our nformant thinks the bare red-top the best, Larly in the spring is the best time for ceding a lawn. All preparation of the vork should be done in the fall, so that lie ground may be well settled in the pring, and any defects that may be de reloped during the winter can be corrected >eforo sowing the seed. Out, friend informs is that Mr. ilaory, the celebrated horti ulturist, of Rochester, N. Y. uses no other eeds for lawns except the red top. I'r is claimed by some feeders that 100 ounds of cornmeal and 100 pounds of ran mixed will give a greater gain in flesh ban 200 pounds of meal fed alone. Meal ,nd bran mIxed is a more perfect feed than neal alone. Bran contamna a larger per entage of phosphoric acid, potash and ni rogen than Inidian meal, while the latter ontaius more oil, sugar and starch than he former. Au. soils are improved by mixing. The hysical p)roperties of the soil have an in. ortant influence upon its average fertility. Thie admnixture of pure sand with clay soil iroduces an alteration which is often bane. ci and which is almost wholly mechani anl. The sand -opens the pores of the lay and makes-it more plermeable to the ir. Tnzv have what they call winter oats n Oregon, that arc sown at any time dur ng the year-say from the last of Septem ier up to the middle of March, provided be groundl is in favorable condition. These >ats are used chietly for zinilling; they icld larger grain, heavier and more uni orm in size than summer or spring oats, nd iat the rate of from forty to eighty ushels per acre. Fon flesh-producing purposes, sweet orn is the beat; bnt, for making good read meal, white flint, corn is the best, ~Ossessing inore starch and flesh-producing >roperties andl less oil than the yellow orn. T1he white corn is also b)etter for vorkmng animals, but for butter and fat ening purposes, the yellow corn Is the iest. THE necessit,y of heading hack a tree when It is transplanted, will be seen when ve consider that the foliage carries off the vater which tihe roots supply, andl If the (iota arc b)ruisedl or at all damaged or less med in number by transplanting, then they annot furnish all the moisture that would >e demandled of .thiem if the top with alt ta foliage were also allowed to) remain. TE ox-cye (daisy is a very fashionable lower in the city, but a vile pest to the stamer. It is propagated by the seed, and nay be destroyed by mowing before the cod is formed. Two or thiree seasons nmay 1)0 required to subdue It, but It is a landing reproach to any farmer to have uis fields overrun with this weed. hI your horse is balky, pass a twine trouind the lower jaw, and of course below he tongue, and tie It quito tight over the op of the bead, leaving an end of two or bsree feet, by which to pull at, walking in rout of the horse. This will be found to ie a remediy ini all cases, If properly done. CArvEs should have a run in a good >iece of grass.

A gentleman living near Port Jervis, N. Y., has a paarot who knows a good deal more than the law allows. Last summer a friend of his, whose name we withold for obvious reasons, called at his house one day. A valuable young dog, a pointer, was with him. The two gentle. men sat on the porch smoking, and the parrot, which is very tame, was seated In an interstice in the trellis about the porch. The dog m as laying on the floor at hii master's feet, and finally his attention was oalled to the bird, which was looking 3teadily at him, The dog sprang up, drew on the parrot and fastened. There he stood, still as a statue, for full three minutes, when the parioto with a contemp. aous flirt of his feathers, screamed out, "Go bome, you cussed fool I" The dog dropped is tail and ears, wheeled round and struck i bee line for home. 8ine that time he ias refused to point a bird.
