Av old man known aa Henry
Scaroeder a sisaors grinder at St.
Paal Minn, for many years, wm found
dead ia his room the other day, where
were discovered valuable surgical in
atruanenU, medical books and a med
ical diploma with the name of T. E.
Heakle ; also a book showing a de
posit of $5,000 in the German Nation
al bank. He probably changed his
name for the purpose of Jiving the
life of a recluse. The mystery is not
yet solved.
One of the saddest accidents the Iie
pnblican has ever been called upon to
chronicle, is the scalding to death of a
seven year old boy of Mr. Budwig.
It seems the boy and an elder brother
were scuffling in a room in which was
a tub of hot water to be used in mixing
hogalop, and in the course of the scuf
fle both fell into the tub, the older
with only oae arm and young6r head
first, scalding himself so badly that
decth ensued the next morning. West

Henet W. Longfellow, the great
poet, died at bis residence in Cam
bridge, Mass., Friday last, at the age
of seventy-five years. It is said that
he hM not been in good health 6ince
the death of his intimate friend Prof.
Agassiz. For nearly two years af
terwards his health was a source of
anxiety. He wm nnable during that
time to enjoy his food. Longfellow's
poems will long be treasured by the
English-speaking race, some of them
being worthy of immortality.
I The demand for officers in the dif
ferent departments at Washington
City ia very urgent and brisk. This
WM illustrated the other day by the
death of the venerable Chauncy
Smith, .of the post office depart
ment. His breath had scarcely gone
ont of his body when a Michigan
member put in an appearance at the
department and claimed the vacancy.
Hatton wm disgusted, and said he
woald decline to move in the
matter until the old clerk's body
wm cold.
Mas. Foolky, of Chicago, has been
nearly starved to death by her
daughter and son-in-law, for the
aake of getting her money 13,000 to
$4,000. She wu confined in a soli
tary room, the windows of which
were boarded up to obstruct the
light. There she had lain for eight
weeks Most f the time she was
nnable to leave the few rags that
formed her conch. Filth littered and
and hupg ail over her scanty attire.
She had had nothing to eat for whole
daya at a time and then would be
thrown aa old crust to devour. The
Herald Mya that these unnatural chil
dren are to be prosecuted by the
Huamane Society.
These is an effort now being made
by a large number of cattle men and
others of the Black Hills for opening
the great Sioux reservation for stock
grazing, the cattle men proposing to
pay the Indians at the rate of ten
ceata per head. The reservation is
the beat for grazing in the west, its
45,000 square miles affording room
for one million head of stock. Gen.
Cook, agent at Rosebud thought that
arrangements could be easily effected.
If the movement is successful at least
300,000 head of cattle will be driven
into Dakota this season. A committee
was appointed to look after this mat
ter and it ia believed there is sufficient
authority ia the statutes to enable the
committee to -deal directly with, the

The following
1. Ifex.
questions and an-
ewers represent our view of the land
tax situation, after a very brief study
of the decisions rendered by the Su
preme Court :
Ought all persons to bear their
share of the burden of government?
They certainly ought to do so, aad
onr constitution means that they
shall, according to the valne of their
property.
If any of os could, according to
law, get rid of paying several thous
and dollars a year as taxes, would we
do so? A great many of us would,
perhaps the most of us. This is a
lamentable fact.
Is a corporation (a railroad "per
son," ao to speak), any more gener
ous of its money than other persons,
and wonld it be anxiona to pay taxes
where the law (as interpreted by the
courts), could not compel it to pay ?
Not any, and not very.
" Who made the law governing tbiB
caw? The congress.
Who hM interpreted the law?
The U. S. Snpreme Court.
What has it Mid? "We are sat
iafied that the United States, until aha
eonveya them these lands by patent
or otherwise, hat an interest, whether
it be legal or equitable, which the
state of 'Nebraska it not at liberty to
divest by the exercise of the right of
taxation." "We are of the opin
ion that the state had no right to tax
the lands for which the cost af aur
yeyiaghad aot been paid, and for
which ao patent had been issued."
What, then, ia the remedy, for this
etate of attain? Congress can apply
the remedy, and Senator Van Wycti

state, county, &c, all

may have in

the railroad company to pay any costs

taining patents to such lands."

JEd. Journal : The request of "A
H" to explain the mysteries of the
Guenon theory would require more
time thaa 1 can devote, and more
space than you .would be willing to
accord to it, bnt having recently found
a discourse on this subject, delivered
before the Farmer's Club of West
Grove, Chester Co., Pa., by C. Har
vey, an intelligent farmer of that sec
tion, I shall take the liberty of mak
ing such extracts from the same as
will explain the principles on which
the theory is founded. "The sub
stauce of the discovery is that the
milking qualities of any cow of any
breeds are indicated by an outward
sign that all may see and easily un
derstand. The hair on a cow, as on
other animals, grows downwards on
the bind quarters, but there is an ex
ception to this rule on the back part
of the udder, where it usually grows
upward. Let a beginner stand be
hind a quiet cow and rub the hair on
the udder both ways until he sees
just what is meant. Guenon called
the surface that is covered by this up
ward growth the escutcheon ;bot it is
not confined to the udder but extends
upwards, often to the vulva and out
ward upon the thighs on both sides of
the udder. These escutcheons are
different in size, shape and quality,
and these differences indicate the
different milking qualities of the
cows, including quantity and quality
of the milk, and the length of time
they will give milk. Where the up
ward and downward growths of hair
meet, a feather is formed, and this is
most conspicuous on the back part of
the thighs, where the escutcheon ex
tends that wide. There is one general
shape to which escutcheons conform,
that is, they are wider below than
above, and at or near the top of the
udder they narrow in abruptly ; some
continue as far -as the vulva, and even
above it, others but a little above the
udder. All great milkers have very
large escutcheons. When the es
cutcheon is small it does not reach
me tnigns, ana oiten does not cover
the whole back part of the udder.
The next thing to consider is the
shape. A -good escutcheon is sym
metrical; the feathers on the two
thighs are at an equal distance from
the middle line of the body, and ex
tend up to equal heights on the back
parts of the thighs ; such an escutch
eon indicates a superior milker. There
is nearly always another sign accom
panying such an escutcheon: One
or two ovals just above the hind teats,
on which the hair grows downward ;
these may be large or small but no
escutcheon is first-class without at
least one of them, and this of good
size. The upper part of the escutch
eon varies in length, width aud in
symmetry; the more it possesses of
these the better, though a good lower
part is the main thing. A common
imperfection is a deep notch of a
downward growth of coarse hair, at
the point where the lower part ends
and the upper part begins ; it may be
on one or both sides, and detracts very
much from an otherwise good es
cutcheon, though sometimes firal-class
cows are marked in this way, but it
will be found upon examination that
in these cases what appears to be a
defect is in reality an enlarged growth
of the soft and light colored hair pe
culiar to the ovals extending until
they reached the border of the es
cutcheon in which case ihey become
markB of excellence. If the skin in
the escutcheon is soft and oily, and
particularly if it is of a rich yellow
color (though this is more easily seen
by examining the end of the tail) that
cow will give good milk. If, on the
other band, the skin is white and dry,
and the hair thin and harsh, the cow
gives poor milk. The form and size
of the escutcheon indicate quantity,
the skin and hair indicate quality,and
these signs are true also as applied to
balls, being a proper guide to select
animals to breed milkers from, ex
perience and observation having
shown that cows inherit their milk
ing qualities more from their sires
than from their dams ; another inter
esting fact is that all these signs are
visible in the calf, so that in making
a selection for dairy purposes it is not
necessary to wait 2 or 3 years to know
whether such will prove a desirable
animal for such purposes. There is a
sign that may be mentioned here,
though it does not properly belong to
the Guenon system, which ia a very
certain evidence that a cow will give
a large quantity of milk, though it
expresses nothing as to quality ; this
is the large size of the vein running
forward from the udder on the belly,
and just under the skin, andrknown
aa the milk vein. When this is very
large and crooked and enters the
abdomen through a bole that will al
low the entrance of a man's finger,
it is a sign that the cow will yield a
large quantity of milk. The time a
cow will continue to milk varies in
different cases; generally the beat
milkers hold out the longest Those
escutcheons that are not large at the
base, but that run np to the vulva,
symmetrical all the way, and pretty
wide, indicate a yield of milk ap to
the time of calving. Having now, in
a brief way glanced at the varioaa
points worthy af note I leave it for
those who nay be Interested 'to in
vestigate it further for themselves,
being satiefied that they will be
abundantly repaid for their trouble in
ao doing. G.

received by the public.

sbme questions and, 3d, the records of
eveate irqakM
additional writ-
ing, ,-,,
While I gladly leave the main
questions of my friend, J. H. R , to
more competent hands to answer,
What I have' to say this time will have-
some bearing on the subject of -his
queries. '
Circumstances have thus far favored
stock-raising. in Nebraska, that cannot
possibly continue to be the cue in
our connty hereafter. Almost every
farmer had a piece of unoccupied
land joining his farm. Thus many
who had some means were able to
keep more stock than their own farms
could carry and than they could shel
ter well and amply provide for in the
winter with feed and attention.
Many valuable animals were thus
lost iu winter, or so reduced to mere
skeletons that it took them all sum
mer to recuperate. They were cru
elly forced to eat musy hay, straw and
manure, or 'chew their own tails.
Another evil was conuected with this
system, viz : the constant trespassing
of stock upou the premises of others.
Out of this arose animosity, neigh
borly feuds, quarrels, lawsuits, and,
to say the least, ill-feeling between
men that need each other moBt, viz:
neighbors.
In view of all these evils, then, is
it to be regretted that some men will
be compelled to keep less stock or
not at all, especially if it is true (and
who will dare deny it?) that a man
can do a great deal better with a
small number of good and well
kept animals than with a numerous
herd of half-starved.bony, long-haired
thick-skinned, dog-chased, tail-chewing
skeleton, silently, though elo
quently, accusing their cruel owners?
To judge from the neighborhood
of the writer more land has been
bought within the last few months
than in as many years before. Thus,
free ranches being taken away
necessity, a stern and effective teach
er, compels many to reduce the num
ber of their stock, which is not to
be regretted, if they are wise enough
to improve the quality, and to give
better feed, shelter, and attention and
care, to the smaller animals.
When necessity compels one to all
these things, the question will it pay
would be only a secondary one ; but
there is no question about it. Aud
the Creamery, coming in just at this
time, when necessity compell to re
duce the quantity, encouraging us to
improve the quality by offering a
a premium, as it were,-for better qual
ity and better keep what could we
wish more iu this direction ?
Let, then, all strive to get better
stock, to keep better what they have,
and if the uumber is too large for
good keeping, reduce the number;
but by all means keep the best one
can afford, and give it the best care.
Nothing will pay so well.

Oneida, March 20, 1882.
Editor Columbus Journal : I
shall write a few lines to the Journal
from this snow-clad country. It is
enough to make one homesick to read
the Journal, learn what is going on
at home, and to see the weather report
there for Febrnary and to learn what
fine weather the Nebraskans are
blessed with.
I landed in Idaho on the 12th day
of December, and am sorry to say that
it has snowed nearly every day since.
The snow has been from one to two
feet deep all winter.
I am camped with my railroad out
fit in the Port Neuf Canyon, 13 miles
from Oneida. I think this will be a
pleasant place in the summer, but the
winter has been terribly cold, the ther
mometer going down as low as 40 be
low zero several times this winter.
The mountains here are a sight to
behold. The suow-capped peaks
tower high above the clouds, and it is
grand beyond description to see the
clouds driven by the wind against
their sides, and then see them glide
over their snowy tops and disappear
in the distance.
The Port Neu f river is a beautiful
stream ; its waters are as clear as crys
tal, and filled with mountain trout.
The settlers here are principally
Mormons ; they seem to be the most
happy and healthy class of people in
the world, and I think they are ; they
claim that poligamy is one of the best
doctrines that ever existed. They
claim that if the outside world will
let them alone, they will disturb no
one.
There are several Columbus boys
with me : Fred Ball, Fred Thomas,
Marion Marrow and others: all of
them are quite in favor of polygamy,
as they say that those big Mormon
girls are the most beautiful and
healthy looking girls they eyer saw.
The boys say that they have seen them
out sleigh-riding with their sleeves
rolled up while the thermometer
stood at 40 below zero. When the
lads take the home track, and turn
their backs on Idaho, you may look
for a settlement of polygamista in the
neighborhood of Columbus. Poor
boys ! I cannot blame them, as I am
a little in favor of their belief.
I see by the last Joubnal that all
the visitors to Columbus think that
Nebraska is the best state in the nnion.
They are right, Nebraska is far
ahead of any state or territory that I
have seen. I would not give one
iownsbip in Platte county for the
whole of Idaho.- I notice also quite
a' letter In the JounyAL from my old
school teacher, G. W. Stevens, op
schools 'and education. His bead is
level, and always was. I read his
communications to the Journal with
pleasure. That is "business," friend
Stevens. Warm them up, for there is
nonse in trying to beat Greek or Lat
in into a person, when there is not
one in a hundred that can understand
his own language, and not one In five
hundred of those who study the dead
languages in the schools, who can
read them readily six months after
graduating.
Yours, with respect,
Geo, E. Barm cm.
