James Taylor was born in the neigh¬ borhood of Tye River Mills in 1805. lie will be 80 years of age on the 10th of September, and never swore an oath, never tasted intoxicating liquors, never chewed tobacco, but is an in¬ veterate smoker. He never rode on a steamboat or railway train, and has not been three miles from home since 1861. He was the father of five chil¬ dren, three boys and two girls. Both daughters are dead. Two of his sons were killed in the Confederate and the other in the Union service. He listen with the profoundest interest to the story of Bogardus and Carver, and with a smile he shrugged his shoulders, saying: you’re cornin’ “Thar, strangers, to the pint now. Why, when I was young,” and he stopped to think; “when I wa3 young, about 20, 1 guess, I could outshoot any man in the val¬ ley. We used to swing an apple on a string, an’ mountin’ our horses, gallop like mad and fire at it. 1 could hit it every time. I could knock an apple off a post nine times out’n ten fifty yards away, an’ I could take the bill off a bird in a tree as clear as a whistle an’ never disturb a feather. That’s a fact.” “What do you regard as the most skillful shot you ever made?” we ask ed. “You mean the best I ever made; yes, an’ I mought say, the happiest o’ my life.” We nodded in the affirmative. “Well, strangers,” he began, “I’ll tell you all about it. It war years ago, though; I was twenty-one then, an’ but few people lived hereabouts, an’ what did war a good ways apart. Down in the tother end o’ the valley lived John Angleford, who had a dar¬ ter, an’ I loved her like mad, but, some way or other, she didn’t kinder want to hitch to me. About three miles away lived another man who had a son, an’ she tuk to that boy. This made me kind of jealous like, an’ him an’ me used to fight often. But I didn’t giv in; I’d made up my mind to git that gal ef 1 could. One day, in the fall o’ the year—I’ll never forgit that day—I shouldered ‘Old Faithful,’ that’s my musket, an’ went up Inter the mountains to see what kind o’ game was abroad. Well, I reckon I’d been trudgin’ around in the thicket for nigh on to three hours, without leein’ of a thing, when all of a sudden I heard a scream that almost friz my blood. 1 heard it again, and I know td it whar a woman’s holler; so I jes’ Cocks *i uu r aituim nu soxiw umiiign the bushes. But afore I got to the Spenin’ I heard horses’ hoofs a-elank fng an’ a-elatterin’ over the stones, 1 hurried rigiit on to the openin’, an’ thar 1 seed wat it war all about. I teed it at a glance. Old Angleford’s horse whas a-tearin’ along like as if the old boy war arter him, an’ thar War Sary Jane, her face as white as chalk, a-clingin’ to bis back for dear life, au’ right betwix’ her an’ the horse’s head, his claws driv into the flesh of the horse’s neck, a-tryin’ to reach the gal, war the biggest cata¬ mount 1 ever seed. Your time’s come, John,’ says I to myself. ‘.Steady, now; aim right, an' you’ll win the gal.’ Jes' as thar ar floss with the screamin’ gal got oppo¬ site to me I blazed away for the catamounts head. I knew it war life or death to one of the three on ’em; but I didn’t miscalculate; I never did. The load went into that ar cata¬ mount's head, an’ he rolled over dead on Hie ground; the hoss stumbled, an’ as he disappeared over the precipice 1 cotclied the faintin’ gal in my arms an’ hurried down the road with her to her home. For a long time she had a ragin’ fever, and kept a-callin’: ‘Is he come? Is he come?’ Nobody could tell what it meant.

Facts About Owls. As I was seated on the piazza of oui hotel last evening, watching the moon as it came out by the sea, an owl glided by, and only for a moment was seeD as it passed a window, through w r hich the light wa3 streaming, intent, no doubt, upon its mission and apparent ly undisturbed by the music, the hum of voices, and the red and green lights (hat flashed up from the lawns on Ocean avenue. Owls may often sail around the pier hotel at night, for aught I know, but it is not often that they are seen. Hack in the woods they make their homes, and there their hooting is as familiar a sound as the croaking of the frogs. The farmer has no better friend than the owl, and he who kills one does the public and him¬ self an injury. White, cr Selborne, after taming a pair of owls, was con¬ vinced that they brought a mouse to the nest on an average of every five minutes from sunset to daylight. Owls were never an epicurean feast., but there was formerly an eccentric genius in Newport, Henjamin Ilad win, who ate them, and for that mat¬ ter anything that once had the breath of life. Soutney once had an owl roasted for himself and Mr. and Mrs. Worth. I give the sequel in his words ; “We agreed that there could be no pretext for making owls game and killing them as delicacies, but if ever you eat one, by all means try it boiled with onion sauce.” An omelette made of owls’ eggs is said to be a cure for drunkenness. Owls are sometimes stuffed—not for the table, but to draw crows within range of the sportsman’s gun. No love is lost between the crow and the owl, and when the latter is pearched upon a limb the former goes for him with the celerity and disregard of all those cautionary measures that usu¬ ally mark the movements of a crow. So eager is he to meet tho object of his aversion that he does not see the gun¬ ner until it is too late to beat a safe retreat. The Italians use an owl to catch small birds, only in their case the owl is tied to a perch in open ground in broad sunlight, and the birds that gyrate around him alight upon twigs smeared with bird lime. In this way they become an easy prey. —Providence Jon run/. Yhc Advance of Arc!unis. There will be a line chance for pos¬ terity to dodge if the present doings of the star Arcturues undergo no change. The result of the observations of these doings made at the Greenwich Observa¬ tory in 1883, numbering 200, and ex¬ tending over a period of live months, is the clear establishment of that star’s movement toward the earth dead on at the rate of something more than 50 miles a second, 3,000 miles a minute, 18U.000 miles an hour. 4,320,000 miles a day. An 80 ton gun drives a projec¬ tile 1,400 feet a second, maximum ve¬ locity. Arcturus is thus coming at us at a rate of 200 times greater than this. To speak of it as shot out of a gun is to use a faint and inadequate simile. This celestial projectile is moving over a distance equal to that between the earth and the sun every twenty-one days. It has, however, 1,622,000 of these distances to j traverse, tliei efore it will not arrive for 93,000 years; but if present observations are true, it will there as sure as the decrees of God, and our poor little earth where will it be? Scorched, snuffed out like a vapor like ly long before the contact, and our whole solar system gone to staves like a bucket with one piece out. If we haven’t any interest in this result we have in the conformation of things which foreshadowed it and this will he the point of future observation. If the present motion of Arcturus is orbi¬ tal, it will in time appear stationary : and then recede; but nothing so far i has been discovered pointing to this, It is, apparently, coming right along; still its orbit may bo so mignty that it may require years before its bend will I bo indicated by a retardation of the rate of approach, than by no percepti ble motion either way, than by a re cessi m equ d to its previous approach, — Indianapolis Ntirs. 4 Mountain Kill Irani. , hp S rt> at tunnel of Golera, by Which the Pinnacle of the Andes is pierced, will be. when completed, 3,800 feet long, and will be the highest ele vat,on on the oarth’s surface where any such work has been undertaken borin * ™untains * K ran ite ;in ,i blasting clefts along their 8i q e s to rest the track upon, steep cut tin gs and superb bridges, the system of rHV , r30 tangents had to be adopted ! in ,. anons (Uilt . were too narrow f 0I curve . go the track zigzags the I lnonntain on the switch and I back . llp principle, the trains takina ! one lrap forwBnI> andatt( , r another bein ^ switcheil on to another track leap backward, until the summit iL won; so that often there are four o. five lines of track parallel to each other one above the other, on the mountair side .—New York Fun.

Warts on cows’ teats are sometimes difficult of cure, but have been retnov e d by applying once a day a liniment composed of equal parts of sweet oil an( ] spirits of turpentine. Follow up the applications for several weeks if necessary. .Should the teats become 80re have cots made for them and let them be worn constantly except at milking time. It is said that by touching the tops of warts with a ver y little muriatic acid night and morning for several days a painless cure can be effected. This is danger oils to handle, however, and should be kept in a glass bottle provided with a ground glass stopper. It can be ap¬ plied with the tip of a small feather. Great care should be used not to let the acids touch any other parts than the warts, and the bottle containing it should be kept out of the reach of children. The oil and turpentine is much the safer remedy. The Best Feed for FIr». The best feed lor weaned young pigs is potatoes boiled and mashed in the water in which they are boiled, thickened with barley meal. This is given in reasonable quantities,and not to overfeed the pigs. A young pig of 20 or 30 pounds needs no more of this food than a pound a day, with a pint of skimmed milk. It is altogether wrong to give the pigs so much food that they cannot hold any more. This repletion leads to indigestion and pro¬ duces staggers and paralysis of the hindquarters; black teeth and other supposed ailments follow from the dis¬ ordered stomach. It is easy to in¬ crease the food if found necessary, but not to remove the injury done by giv¬ ing too much. As the pig grows very fast the food needs to be increased in proportion. The 300-pound 9-months old pigs are never overfed, but are fed just enough and no more. For a 300-pound pig 10 pounds of dry food Is ample for one day’s feeding .—New York Times. IHstrilmtiiiff Hen Manure. The droppings from the hen roots are a very stimulating fertilizer when rotted sufficiently to go into line pow¬ der. This can in small amounts be applied in contact with seed, and if fine enough may he drilled witli it. A very good practice is to mix lien ma¬ nure with the commercial fertilizers, especially bone dissolved in sulphuric acid. There is usually some free acid in the phosphate, which readily com¬ bines with the nitrogen in the hen manure. If ashes are used in this mixture it should be only when the seed is about to be covered. We have put dry wood ashes in the drill with hen manure and phosphate, and believe it a good practice. The ashes clean the drill from sticky phosphate, and though there is some smell of ammon¬ ia, indicating its loss, yet there is the satisfaction of knowing that the ashes are in contact with manure under the soil, where no loss of ammonia can occur. The very reasons why ashes and manures should never be com¬ posted together above ground furnish arguments to placing them in contact with each other under the surface.— Cultivator. Parasitic IMhcbkc in Lambs Lambs are subject to a parasitic disease which is always fatal to them if neglected. It is known among Bhepherds by the suggestive names of “pining” and “paper-skin.” and by veterinarians as “anaemia,” or want of blood. It is caused by a thread-worm, which exists in the lungs and air passages, and interferes so much with the breathing as to prev nt the due oration of the blood, and the nece - sal 7 supply of this vital fluid. The consequence is that the red globules of t' 1 ® hl ° 011 are lacking; tho blood is pale, and the growth of the animal is arrested. The skin appears white and thi *L like paper, and the young crea tores are weak and pine away gradu ally for want of adequate nutrition, and finally die. A similar parasite produces the disease in calves, known as “husk,” or “hoose.” It affects lambs that graze in pastures with old sheep; calves are troubled which are fed with the cow, or upon hay from fields where older animals are pastured; and young chicks which run upon ground fouled by the hens, are apt to get the ganes. To prevent it, this chief cause" is to be avoided, while to cure it, the usual and effective remedy turpentine f 8 to give small repeated mixture's doses of The following recommended: To one mince of mo lasse8 or linseed oil add one fourth of of Jye ,hake well together and me teaspoonful J to each Sf lamb Tne eariy Sblesnoln in the m p « giTen f ul 8h0 u,d be an hour before feeding in the morning; and one drop may be given to a small chicken. The ermedy should be repeated for a week or ten days, as it is necessary that a sufficient quantity of the tur pentine should be given to secure its escape through the lungs of the animal by exhalation. — American Agriculturist. as Crude Suit llecfsaAry! If It is true, as most men assert that all animnls must have crude salt as part of their rations, and it is a f aet that all must admit that it is extremely hard to find even salt water inland, then why did not all the wild animals or most of them crowd to the seashore, where they could get a taste of salt water when needed. The “salt licks” were visited, it is said, by those animals that could reach them, and many persons contend that (lie neigh¬ borhoods of these “licks” were always crowded by these animals; and yet we do not learn that tho seashore was a sort of “Coney Island” for wild beasts in the early days when our iorests were overrun wilh wild animals. On the contrary, there were probably a dozen deer on the prairies of the M est to one in the woods of New Jersey or Maine in those days, Bison, the largest of our wild animals, preferred the open plains of the West, without salt but more grass, Fishes in fresh water seem to flourish quite as well as those that enjoy the salt of the ocean. Has it ever been proved by experiment that horses and cows really suffer or fall off in flesh when de¬ prived of salt, when fed ordinarily mixed rations. What proof is tln-re that crude salt is necessary or even good for domestic animals under or¬ dinary treatment. Mr. Blodgett, of Chautauqua County, N. Y„ tried raising bunches of calves with and without salt, and his neighbors de¬ cided, without knowing which were the salt-fed, that the lot not receiving the salt was the better of the two. This was probably only a coincidence, but at the same time it goes pretty far to prove that it is at least a useless trouble and expense to feed crude salt to calves. The man who trusts his animals to the care of ordinary hired help often finds that the salt business has been grossly neglected, and yet no apparent harm has been done. At least that lias often been our experi¬ ence. We believe in mixing salt with the mixed ration, to make it more palatable, but that has nothing to do with feeding crude salt to cows; and, after all, is it not simply a stimulant to make them drink more water, which does not add to the richness of the milk .—American Dairyman. Household Uinta. To remove tarnish from silver, use a solution of borax or soda. To brighten a zinc bath-tub, throw in a handful of salt, wet with vinegar, and scour with a flannel cloth. The grease that runs from a goose when roasting should always be kept, as it is particularly good to dress spin¬ ach with. To set colors in blue cambric, dip it into a solution of saltpetre, using two or three cents’ worth to a pailful of water. Salt will injure the fabric.

But there is one respect in which iron is more truly precious than gold. Go d is a goo 1 thing to have in the pocket, gold cannot when greenbacks are not to lie had ; but enter into ti.c circulation of the blood in our artei'.- s and veins, and enrich that vital fluid. Iron nut only call, but docs. The same metal which is m do int . r. ils and lamp-posts and steam-engine and car-whee s is one of the con¬ stituent elements of our blood. The long and short of the iron questio , as it personally concerns each reader of this paper, is simply this: if there is enough iron in the blood, we arc hearty and strong. If iron is scanty or deficient, we are pale and languid, and subject to tile encroachments of every kind of disease. Therefore, that we may keep well, and stout and strong, give us iron in our blood.

That prepa¬ ration is the one which a great many people havo been taking with the most felicitous re¬ sults; and its well-known name, which has now become a household word, is “Brown's Iron Bitters." question,” and In following up "the iron seeking information about it. one of our con¬ tributors had occasion to call on a number of the business men of Nashville, Tennessee. called Among the gentlemen on whom Gilbert, he Parks was A Mr. John Gilbe t, of Messrs.

Mr. Gilber was busy at his warehouse, but spoke freely of h:s experience with Brown s Iron Bitters." 8aid he, “I was troubled for a long time with constipation.

In one of the upper rooms he found Mr. J. D. Talbot, who is in charge the printing of one of the important depar tments of concern. Mr. Talbot is an ac¬ tive Nashville bicyclist, Bicycle and is a prominent member of the Club. A v, ar ago he was considerably run-down in flesh* and felt so de¬ bilitated that he could not with pleasure engage in his bicycle exercise, nor could he with the fullest advantage attend to his dutie in the printing said house. "Iwas not laid aside from work,” he, “and yet I came to my work with a dragged-out feeling which was very wearisome. A friend spoke tome about Brown's Iron Bitters. He had received good effects from it, and he thought it would do for me what it had done for him; and so I tried it, in the hope that it would fatten me up, at least to some ex¬ tent, and give me the strength which I so greatly needed.” “Well, Mr. Talbot, did it have the desired effect upon you?” “I am happy to say that it did. I weigh 130 pounds now, and am healthy and hearty. I can take all the exercise I want,, either on the bi¬ cycle or on foot. I can attend to my duties much easier than formerly, and I enjoy the pleasure from a relief of that feeling of weari¬ ness which is such a weight on the business man who suffers from it. You may say that I con¬ sider Brown’s Iron Bitters the"best tonic that I know of. It did me so much good that I feel fully warranted in recommending it to others.” 1 lie most serious iron question is: can the manufacturers of Brown's Iron Bitters continue Everybody to supply the demand for this popular remedy? seems to be taking it; each day brings forward new cures it ha i made. Mr. W. A. Goodman, Commercial Hotel, Selma, Ala., says : “I was much annoyed with Dyspepsia: could find no die to agree with me. Brown's Iron Bitters completely cured me, and I now eat anything.” Miss Frances Cason, Hampton, Fla., says : ‘‘ I derived more benefit from the use of Brown's Iron Bitters for kidney trouble than any of the other medicines I tried.
