THE JERSEY LILY.
A MOST SINGULAR AMI REftAUkl-
HI.I’ FREAK OF MATURE,
Judge Hammond Tells the story or
Hatcher's Pall and Ills Rise
Again io Fori uue.
Judge Hammond told the News
man the following:
There was a butcher who was too
kind to say no; so he sold most
his meat on time. That was a good
time for the buyeis, but a bad time
for the butcher. Ilis was the coni
mon lot of all that class of tradesmen
who sell on time and fail to collect.
He run his business a long time, but
run his customers much longer.
His hands were red with the life
of many a mild-eyed Jersey; the
blood of many a short-legged Argyle
had fertilized his pastures, and the
lowing of distress went up irom a
thousand throats oi the common
hard. Hut alas, when pay day was
to come it never came at all. So lie
closed his shop and held his accounts
against his customers and holds
them until this day. But hisslaught
er pen and pastures were still left to

ize -with the blood and refuse from
the slaughter house for many years.
He removed the building and broke
up the land for cultivation and sowed
it down in peas. At the proper
time he turned the peas under.
Early the next spring be discovered
a peculiar growth springing up o.i a
half acre immediately around where
the slaughter house had stood, where
the soil was moist, and he concluded
to let the new growth stand and see
what it was. The remainder ol his
land he cultivated. This new growth
had leaves like the ears of cattle and
were of different colors. Some red,
some white, some red and white,
some white and black, and some vari
egated with red, white and black
specks. Tiie outside of these leaves
were covered with hair of the colors
already mentioned, but the inner
upper side was of a delicate
suffused nearer the stem with a warm
er red. The blooms always came in
pairs, one above the other, the
one being about the size of a
egg and the lower one about the
of a partridge egg. The colors
the blooms were not at all
but were very rich and pure.
breeze that ever sighed through
•range groyes of the South
came freighted with a sweeter
grance than that which
from these new flowers at
quiet hour. The sun-light
kissed the cheeks of lovelier
than these which bloomed in
butcher’s garden, smiling in
freshneis, when bathed in pearly
drops. Both blooms were
liae the graceful Fuscbeu. The
per ones has two horns like those
a cow and whenever the air is
they send forth a solf and
sound like the innocent dove
has lost her mate. There are
leaves at the base of these
like the ears of a cow. The
kloom is the shape of a cow’s
and open at the mouth, with a
tongue like pistil protruding, w
reaches the lower or smaller
which is of similar shape and
ears, but uo horns and is closed
the mouth and is covered with
silky hair of different rich
Ihis pistillate tongue has a vibratory
motion and passes back and forth
over the smaller bloom like the moth
er cow when she caressingly licks her
calf. On the second day of the Moom,
this pistillate longue has attached
itsoll by a glutinous substance to the
leafy ear of the lower bloom, and
towards sundown forms and deposits
j in this car a single crimson drop,
j pure and clear. Then the larger
bloom fades and dies, and the smaller
forms a pod of seed.
The butcher, thinking these seed
would reproduce the mother plant,
planted them on his rein: ning land.
He believed that he could realize a
handsome income Ircin the sale of
seeds and cuttings from the new and
beautiful flower which ho originated.
He advertised extensively, and of
course the lovers of the odd and
beautiful flocked to see the new won
der, and innumerable orders poured
in for seeds arid cuttings, which he
supplied at prices which rare euriosi
tics always demand. Fortune had
stniled on the poor man again, it is
' true.but, she had in store for him a
muub greater blessing than lie had
yet dreamed of.
The growth from the seed which
be had planted w-as (nourishing,
while his original plants continued to
produce flowers and seed and while
j tonisbment, ihe new plants wire en
tirely different from the originals.
They were the height of a tall cotton
stalk, but much stouter and had
from six to ten oval shape globes on
each, which grew to die size of a
cocoanut and about tiie middle of
September matured and fell off. Irn
agine his delight and amusement,
when he opened one of these globes!
lie found that it contained about three
pounds of fat, boneless beef, which
only required to be seasoned and
prepared to suit tiie taste, lie pro
needed at once to gather and house
liis new crop, and in a short time the
