The question of deep versus shallow
ploughing is receiving new notice of
late, the shallow ploughing theorists—
perhaps it should !x said also exemplars
—seeming to be gaining now accessions.
But in all that has been said and" writ
ten, and in all the practical testimony
adduced, we have seen no reason to dis
trust or abandon what experience has
taught us to lie the true practice in
ploughing, to wit:
1. Beep ploughing is useless on light,
porous soils, unless there is a atiffor
sub-soil with which the surface soil may
IK? intermixed to produce profitable me
chanical effect.
2. Except in the ease where it is de
sirable to mix stiff subsoil with light
surface soil, a trench plough should
never be used in deep ploughing.
3. It is a positive gain to all stiff,
tenacious soils to plough shsllow in fall
and follow with a subsoil plough, lift
ing but not inverting the earth as deep
as may lie ; and on land intended for
com or potatoes, where stiff clay soils
are cultivated, this snbsoiliug may be
done profitably in spring.
4. We do not recommend deep trench
ploughing (that is, inverting tlie soil!
in spring, under any circumstances. If
this is done at all, it should always be
done in the fall. Nor do we recommend
using a plough iu preparing the seed
bed in spring for grain ; aa a rule a
two-horse steel-tooth cultivator ia far
better, because it pulverise# and com
minutes the earth more throughly.
l>fd from • An*.
A pair of farm horses will consume in
a year 6J tons of hay and 270 bushels of
oats, their daily ration heiug IS pounds
of hay and 12 pounds of oats for each.
It will take 14 to 16 acres of average
laud to raise this amount of fodder. A
cow will consume 18 pounds of hay and
6 pounds of corn meal daily, equal to i
3} tons of hay and 40 bushels of corn,
allowing for toll for grinding it, per
year. This will require about 4 acres
of average laud. One acre of good
corn land will produce enough grain
and stalks to keep a cow during a year
This estimate, wnich ia deduced from
firactice, accords elsewhere, ss gathered
rom statistics, which prove that eight
acres of land are needed to support a
horse during a year in Belgium and
Holland—countries which, as regards
the supply of food, are self-sustaining.
There would be no practical difference
between the crops mentioned and others
that might be chosen, for the reason
that more prolific crops requires gTcater
amount to be consumed to rield an
equal sustenance, with less prolific, but
more nutritious crops. The most econ
omical single crop to raise for fceding
animals is corn, when the whole stalks
are well cured and properly used. -.V. Y.
JYibune,
Frail In Tin Cuu.
The Boston Journal of Chemistry
says: The impression prevails among
those who use freely fruits which are
put up in tin cans that they are injured
thereby, and this impression is in rnanv
eases correct. We have long contended
that all preserved fruits and vegetables I
should be stored in glass, and that no
metal of any kind should be brought in
contact with them. All fruits contain
more or less of vegetable acids, and
others that are highly corrosive are
often formed by fermentation, and the
metallic vessels are considerably acted
upon. Tin cans are held together by
solder, an alloy into which lead enters
largely. This metal is easily corroded
by vegetable acids, and poisonous salts
are formed. Undoubtedly many per
sons are greatly injured by eating toma
toes, peaches, Ac., which have been
placed in tin cans, and we advise all our
friends who contemplate putting up
fruit the coming summer to use only
glass jars for the purpose.
Sail for Cattle.
One thing cattle need they do not
get, is plenty of salt; they "onght to
have some every day, but i" fear many
do not get it once a* month. Our plan
of feeding is to give from four to five
quarts of corn meal, or corn and oats
ground together (the finer the better),
well salted the first thing in the morn
ing ; the roots, after which the cattle
are turned into the yard, where they
have a feed of straw and stalks to work
at, and plenty of water to drink. At
night, they get what good hav they will
eat They keep in firstrateortW on this.
Last summer we fed four quarts corn
meal right throo&h the snmmer to our
cows, each morning, and they looked well
right through the season, but they were
none too fat. It is something we" neTer
did before, but I think it paid well in
the extra quantity, and also in the
quality of the butter. Try it one sea
son, and see if it don't pay yon. Don't
forget the salt.
Separatlax Howry from Bee Bread.
A lady correspondent of the California
Agriculturist gives the following con
venient and old-fashioned way of separ
ating honey from bee-bread :
Put such pieces of the comb as have
bread in tbem into round tin hotter
cans (those a little flaring at the top
are best) until nearly full. Then set
the wash boiler on the stove with water
a few inches deep in it, bnt not enough
to boil up into the cans ; then lay a few
pebbles or an iron chain evenly on the
bottom and set the cans op them, pat
the cover on the boiler and let the honey
steam until the wax is melted, which
can be ascertained by a small stick
or wire. The honey must be stirred
if wished clear. When it ia all melted,
lift the cans out and set away carefully
to cool, and when just abontmilk warm,
with xr.ife and fork, lift the wax and
bread off the top, and your honey will
be-clear and nice in the can.
Economy of Pad.
A correspondent in The British Work
man tells how to build a fire as follows:
The person laying a fire should fill the
grate up to the top bar with coals, put
ting large pieces at the bottom and
smaller over them, then upon these,
paper enough to light the sticks, which
should lie laid upon and not under, the
coal. Cover the sticks with the cinders
remaining from the previoua day's fire;
these will soon become red hot; the coal
below will be warmed sufficiently to
make it throw off gas; this, passing
through the hot cinders, will burn with
a bright flame, instead of going up the
chimney in smoke, as it does when the
coals are laid on top. The fire thus hud
will require no poking, and will burn
clear and bright from six to eight hoars
without the necessity for more coals to
be thrown on.
Made It Prodwetlve.
A correspondent of the Ohio Fanner
" having nothing to start with," pur
chased, on easy terms, " one of the
poorest farms in the township," and
made it productive. His plan is as
follows : First,' plow deep, then seed
with wheat ; in the spring sow clover
on the field; the summer after I take
off the crop, I pasture one season, and
the next season I let the clover grow up
and come out in bloom, and when the
heads begin to turn brown, I take my
three-horse plow and break up the land
nine inches deep, and then sowin wheat
again. The year following, in the
spring, turn up for corn to the depth of
nine inches as at first.
Harrowing Wheat In Spring.
If ground for wheat has been proper
ly prepared for seeding in the fall, and
trie seed has been drilled in, or if it has
not been sown too thickly, we can see
no advantage to result from harrowing.
If it is too thick on the ground and it is
desirable to thin it, harrowing may be
the mode adopted for so doing, other
wise we see no, and never saw any, gain
from harrowing fall wheat in spring.
On lands that are likely to heave by
frost, we should rather apply a roller
than a harrow, anyway ; and we certain
ly should not harrow fields seeded with
grass the previous fall.

Warfare In Cuba.
Bva llir WoMtwUd aisnßhtrrrd In tlirlr
Tracks-
O'Relley, the Jfrrald oorresjiondent
with the Cuban army gives us tlie follow
ing description of a Cuban battle : 11c
says a detachment was sent to kill cattle
in'apofrrro or entile farm close to the
town, a service they accomplished with
out interruption. It was evideut from
this circumstance that the Spaniards
would not oome out to nttsck the posi
tion at Canadon, so a for,*,, of some
three hundred armed men aud alnnit
one hundred af fifty convive-ex* ami
servanta were sent to complete the de
struction of the cattle farm, with in
structions to carrv off as many of the
cattle as they could catch, and in any
case* to kill as nisnv as possible of the
animals, so as to deprive the town of
its chief means of support. These or
ders were faithfully carried out by
Colonel Hanebei ami the trmqui under
his command. By half-past eight the
potrero was in flames for a distance of
a league, and tlie cattle either dead er
driven iuto the woods. The soldiers
and the unarmed uien were laelen with
the meat, and orders wore given to form
a line of march to return to the encamp
ment. At the eutrance of the potrtro
the road is slightly decreased, and a
wood extending in the directum of the
town forms a semicircle commanding
completely the outlet from the potrero.
The Culan forces had reached this point
when tiieir bugles sounded silence.
Scarcely had the sound die,! away
when a volley was delivered from a
Spanish ambuscade, distributed in
three divisions. By s miracle none was
touched, and the Colonel, dismounting,
ordered the men to advance. In a mo
ment tlie sacks of meat fell to the
Cund, and a rapid and well sustained
was opened on the Spanish ambus
cade. It was their turn now to be sur
prise,! ; for the Cubans possessed pleuty
of ammunition, and were confident in
their number*. The Spanish forces did
not number over one hundred and fifty,
and by a strange freak of fortune their
three buglers had been shot, one sfter
another, as soon as they sounded an
order. Notwithstanding the disparity
of the forces the Spaniards fought a itii
valor and tenacity, as they always fight,
but wore obliged to give wsy before su
perior number*. A movement of re
treat in the face of a Cuban force is
disastrous. The moment tlie soldier*
perceived that the Spaniards were re
treating they advanced with a rush, sml
the defeat was turned into a rout. Then
the horrors of the situation were de
veloped. The Spanish soldiers,Jost in
the woods in the darkness, fell an easy
prey to their enemies. So dark was
the night that it was accessary to inquire
whether the person encountered was an
enemy or a friend before striking.
Tliis did not last long, for what re
mained of the Spanish troops were in
full flight for the town, which, fortu
nately for them, was close at hand. The
moat terrible and inhuman feature of
this awful warfare was, fortunately,
hidden by the dark cloak of night.
The wounded Spaniards who had
fallen had crawled into the woods to
save themselves from the vengeance of
their foes. Here the Cubans followed
them, groping in the dark and listening
for the sigh or groan of the wretched
men to direct them to where the help
less wounded lay. In most cases tlie
unfortunates were discovered and the
deadly machete finished the work of the
rifle. "Ave maria, me matar!" exclaim
ed one poor fellow as the heavy machete
cut his con! of life, and the appeals for
mercy of the helpless were the more
heartrending that they were made to
ears that were deaf and to hearts steeled
by the bloody memories of four years
of war to tlie death. It was revolting
and disgusting. My heart sickens when
I think of it, and I am thankful that
the sight was spared me. Is liberty
worth such atrocity. I thought It pains
me to have to record deeds of snob dread
ful barbaritv, but my mission is to tell
the truth, plain and unvarnished.
My instructions are to spare neither
Spaniard nor Cnban when condemna
tion is demanded, as well as to award
praise where deserved whether for
Spaniard or Cuban. Therefore I must
pronounce this butchery of helpless
wounded and prisoners what it is—bar
barous and inhuman. The material re
sults of the victory consisted in three
bugles, seventeen rifles,the boots, clothes
and other effects of the slain, and the
sentiment that the men who had fallen
a few nights before were amply avenged.
The loss of the Spaniards in dead was
estimated at twenty-five killed on the
spot and thirty wounded in the retreat,
who had not been discovered in the dark
ness of the night, or owing to the prox
imity of the town bad escaped. The
Cuban loss was one officer killed, two
wounded and six soldiers wounded.
The morning after this success the Cu
bans quitted the encampment, accord
ing to their custom, so that when the
Spanish troops should come to avenge
their comrades they would find no one.
The Coming Comet.
An astronomical friend well up in
stellar matters tells us about the coming
comet It is the old wanderer known as
Bena's, which was thought, like Niobe,
to have changed into a shower of mete
oric stones. Comets do, it appears,
reach an earth stage or opaque charac
ter, on the principle that a body when
frequently electrified becomes magnetic.
Our earth was once a comet; but its tail
is now exhibited only in earth currents
of electricity, which are indicated by
the Anroa 6orealis and by stoppages of
the telegraph. All astronomers aqd
geologists admit that the earth was once
on fire, but have not remarked that this
means it was then a comet Our friend
informs us that a comet may fall into
the sun, as Newton thought, because it
is attracted on its side next the sun
more than it is repelled on the opposite
side, as the electricity escapes from its
tail. But as the earth retains and elec
tricity expelled from the sun or moon,
she can never fall into the central orb,
the two synchronous tides exemplifying
the attraction of one side of the earth
by the moon, and the repulsion of the
other side. The modus operandi is the
same as occurs when a body is present
ed to an electrifying machine. It be
comes negative, and rushca to the ma
chine to regain its due share of the elec
tric fluid. But the earth, being per
fectly insulated, is as much repelled
throughout half its extent (as the tides
show) as it is attracted through the other
half.
RED TAPE.— In the days of King
William the Fourth, of England, when
a pane of glass or a cupboard door in
the scullery of the palace wanted mend
ing, the chief cook had to draw up and
sign the requisition, which was coun
tersigned by the clerk of the kitchen,
who took it for further signature to the
master of the house, wlio sent it to the
lord chamberlain for his authorization ;
from whose office it went before the
clerk of the works, under the office of
Woods and Forests, by which office the
broken pane of glass or the cupboard
door was mended in the oourse of time
—perhaps !
SHIPPING. —Things happen strangely.
While the Atlantic went down, drown
ing 700 people, for the want of a proper
outfit of coal, Mr. Plimsoll, 31. P., was
lashing English shipowners into rage by
exposing their stinginess and inhuman
ity. What he says about rotten ships,
starved and beaten and ill-paid crews,
and vessels sunk or wrecked for want
of ordinary care and provision, is enough
to make the average ship-owner keel
over, if not to throw him on beam's
end. Of course he was denounced as a
mere sensational exaggerates It would
almost seem that the Atlantic sank to
confirm his story, and point the moral
of his tale.
UNITED STATES COINAGE.—' The new

not be coined hereafter. The act also
increases the weight of the silver dollar

dollar," to better fit it, with its new
weight and devices, for the China and
East India trade, for which it is more
particularly designed.

loose bricks slid mortar and druse
clouds of blinding dust sml crumbling

impossible to determine what the luor
tality may really tie. since there ii** yet
lieeu no time to clear away tlie debris,
under which it is by no means improb
able that many a battered and uurocog
uisable corpse will be found. A grand
rush, however, was immediately made
to Ist Liberia,!, one of the scai>orta, ami
so many lives were saved by the rapid
escape of their owners. Many persons
were more or less injured m their flight
out of town, by falling bricks aud
alanles, but the" greatest loss is un
doubtedly in the tremendous destruc
tion of property, not a house hardly
being left standing except the National
Palace, which is constructed entirely of
wood.
The brick and adobe edifices fell like
card-houses, uot even a wall remaining
standing in most cases. Most of these
houses were built many years ago, and
were cumbrous and stout enough m
their walls to inspire a feeling of perfect
security against alnumt auy onslaught
of man* or nature. Hut whosoever trust
ed to these treacherous walls received
a cruel enlightenment upon the iiupo
tcncy of wau'a most solid contrivances
to resist the earthquake. All the sugar
estates in the vicinity of this city re
ceived serious injuries, and will be pre
vented from completing their harvests.
Moat of the foreign residents ami mer
chants escaped with very trifling losses.
The total damage to property in the city
and environs is calculated at $1,000,000,
but it is not so easv to determine yet
to what figure the damage to the whole
country by interruption of the harvest
will ascend.
An address to the Lord Mayor of Ism
don has been prepared, and g>es for
ward by the present mail, ami I cannot
do better than furnish vour reader*
with a copy of it, which I append
hereto:
Sir Sidney Waterloo :
Mr LORD : It is with feeling* of the
deepest sorrow that I undertake the
melancholv task of communicating to
your Lordship the sad account of a
great calamity which ha* befallen this
republic.
On the night of the 10th of the pres
ent month, San Salvador, the rapital of
tlie republic, was visited by three dis
tinct shocks of earthquake" so intense
and destructive that almost before the
unconscious inhabitants could fairly
awaken to a sense of their imminent
peril, many were hurled violently out of
their liedsj only to be buried in the de
scending ruins of their homes. At the
second shock, the dreadful visitant hod
left no roof standing, and what an in
stant before was a brisk and prosperous
city of some 30,000 souls, was rendered
an immense accumulation of loose bricks
and mortar, a scene of desolation and a
complete wreck.
I shall not pause, my liord, to dwell
upon the details of til's dreadful calami
ty, nor permit myself to describe to you
the wide spread "misery which it must
entail, and the hundreds of cases of
terrible individual suffering which it
leaves to mark its destructive course.
The pen is no competent exponent of
a calamity so pre at as this, which, in
deed, can only be understood in all its
dreadful magnitude by each one's taking
it home to himself and so approaching
nearer to a just realization, of the full
measure of its appalling import.
Nor is the effW-t of this calamity eon
fined to the place of its occurrence ; its
mfluence is sharplv felt throughout the
whole republic. The harvest had just
begun and by the destruction of this
city, which was the central point of
ditribution for all of the country, it will
be completely thrown back, even where
its utter abandonment b not rendered
necessary. People who were rich only
a few days ago are to-day thrown upon
the world houseless, glad to accept any
shelter, any help for themselves and
their wives and their children. The
considerable sums of money that were
invested in houses and other perishable
property have been wiped out as though
they never were, and the resources of
the"country left so crippled that prompt
pecuniary assistance from abroad is
rendered indispensible, not so much
for the restoration of the ruined city as
to keep from despair the thousands of
suffering families who are thus suddenly
confronted with want in its most press
ing shape.
The percentage of mortality.considcr
ing the magnitude of the calamity, is
very sraall.a fact in which the survivors ,
clearly recognize the gracions inter
]K>sition of the Almighty, who has thus
mercifully liglitcnea the tremendous
burden of grief with which this suffer
ing people is cruelly weighed down.
The purpose of this communication,
my Lord, is to appeal through your
Lordship to the British public in be
half of the beggared and houselesa
thousands of men and women whose
substance has been suddenly snatched
away from them by a great convulsion
of nature: in behalf of all classes of
the population, for this untoward visita
tion has cast down all distinctions, and
rendered the rich poor, leaving the poor
Btill poorer.
| The British public has never been ap
! pealed to in vain, lias never shut its ears
| against the cry for charity, and when
that cry comes from a whole eonntry, a
country whose principal city and centre
| of wealth and commerce has been laid
in the dust, I feel that I do not exagger
ate in my conviction that all England,
! as indeed the whole civilized world,
will feel a great throb of sympathetic
compassion towards those of their fel
low creatures in this distant land who
so sharply need their aid. In an
emergency like this every mite helps to
furnish f<xd and shelter to some poor
sufferer, and it is precisely in such
periods of woe and want and disaster
that the heavenly father's words shine
ought brightest: "He whogiveth to the
poor, lendeth unto the Lord."
In conclusion, my Lord, I offer an
apology for this lengthy trespass upon
your liordship's valuable time. I would
respectfully suggest that whatover funds
may be collected in England in behalf
of the victims of this destructive earth
quake be forwarded to a committee
here, composed of the following native
and foreign gentlemen: Santiago Gon
zalez, Fabio Caatillio, Manuel Figueros,
Jose Larreynaza, nnd Mr. Blnir.

The Work •( Hell ■te.
The operations for the removal of the
reef at llallett'a Point, New York liar
Imr, are progressing in most satisfac
tory manner. Toeomprehcnd the amount
of work done, n description of the reef
which it is proposed shall be removed
is necessary, This reef, measured aloug
its ridge, projects into the cltaniicl at
Hell (late, a distance of 800 feet from
high -water line, allowing a draught of
water over it referred to mean low water,
not exceeding I'i feet for a dialanoe of
270 feet from the ahore. In order to
secure a draught of from 2fi to feet
at a mean low water, the excavation
must embrace an *rea of 14,0 M square
yards. The quantity of rook to be re
moved above a horizontal plane, 'Jtl feet
Imlo mean U>w water, would Ih 50,5*4
cubic vartla. A coffer daiu, placed be
tween high and low water marks, was
commenced in July, 1 HiU, and in t>eto
ber of the saute year the main shaft was
ojKOied. This shaft, pierocd through
the solid rock, is 150 feet by 70, and HH
feet deep; from this, which may be
(HUBpared to the handle of a fan, radi
ates 10 mam headings, which are agsui
divided up bv eleven more, as necessar
ily the radii of a circle diverge more
and more as they approach the circum
ference, and because, without these ad
ditions! headings, the chambers at the
furthermost part would IK- too far apart.
These are intersected by the galleries,
which deacritie circles from the centre,
which is the mam shaft. The entire
length of the heading* aud galleries ia
now 5,000 feet, by actual measurement;
a mouth ago it was 4,710. It is difficult
to state exactly how many additional
feet will lie driven, but it is possible
that it will l>o 1,000 more feet before all
are completed. So far fully HO,OOO cubic
vards tif stone have been removed.
When these uiaiu galleries and heading*
are tiuishcd, a laat gallery will be driven
all aloug the extreme outside, us a flual
circumference, ao that when the explo
siou takes place the present work will
lie entirely severed from the main reef.
But even when thislastgallery isthrown
out, the work inside will not lie con
cluded. Then the floors will have to
be loweril following the outside slope
of the rock, aud the more delicate task
w ill have to be accomplished of paring
down the supports of the roof, or the
piers, so that though strong enough to
liear the weight Of the eriiiug and that
of the river, when the explosion takes
place they will offer the least resistance,
which, compatible with safety, was nec
essary while the work was going on.
Xllrxi-glycerine will be used, and tin
piers will lie perforated by a system of
holes or I*.rings made iuto them, the
explosive .fluid being introduced into
mm pipes of about two inches in diam
eter. The quantity of uitro-glyocriiie
for the Anal explosion has not vet been
determined on, a* the exact calculations
cannot lie made uutil the whole work is
finished. To study the exact shape of
the rock, no less than 20,000 sound
ings have la-en made, and over the whole
area of the rock it is safe to nav that
there is not a single foot of it below
water which has not been noted.
The Massacre of Surveyor*.
The facte of the massacre of a survey
ing party on the Bed Fork by Indians,
wen- brought iu by a Mexieau employed
at the Aray>ahoe agency, who has been
staying at the Cheyenne camp, near
Camp Supply. From him we learn that
Whirlwind, with about thirty warriors,
perceiving a small juwty of three eom
lass ami chain tneu measuring ofl town
ship linea on the bank of Red Fork,
thev crossed the stream to bare a parley
with them, and the men fleeing at tbeir
approach, the Indians shot tbeiu with
tbeir rifles ami buried them in the sand.
This same Mexican reports that the
Obeyennes *' feel bad" at tlie loss of
thirteen of their warrior* who were shot
early in the winter by a party of Kan#**
scouts and buffalo-hunter*, who buried
the slaughtered Indians in the sand.
They declare they will kill nn equal
numln-r of pale-face* and bury tlieni
alao in tlie sand. It is a very unusual
thing for Indian* to bury tbeir mur
dered victims, but this reprisal for
frontier violence accounts for the un
wonted proceeding. The nomes of the
murdered men are given as Eddie M.
Iteming, of Lawrence, Kan. ; l>aniel
Short, also of the same place, and
Robert I'oole, a young Englishman,
vrho has no friends in America. They
and one other had started out in the
morning to complete the survey of a
township about twelve miles south of
the Kausa* line, aud failing to return at
night three of their companions went to
search for them the next day. They
strnek the trail of the missing men
aliout ten miles from camp, and after
following it for three miles they came
upon the trace# left by Whirlwind'#
party. These they pursued till they
reached the town line, where the miss
ing men bail finished their work, and
adjacent to Uiis they noticed some fresh
mounds of sand. A hasty removal of
the surface revealed the laxly of Eddie
Deming,theeompa*a-man,thu# realizing
their worst apprehensions. Being in
close proximity to the Cheyenne camp
the explorers sought no further, but
hastening back to camp they revealed
tlie fate of the missing men to their
companions, and the next morning the
whole party set out for Arkansas City,

jiarties out, an expedition of thirty or

TIIR BITEB BITTEN.— A man in the
•Iron* of a workman was lately walking
in the streets of Berlin witfi a packet
in hia hand, sealed and inscribed with
on uddress and a note thnt it contained
100 thalers in treasury bills. As the
bearer appeared to be at a loss, he was
accosted by a passenger, who naked him
what he was looking for. The simple
countryman placed the packet in the
inquirer's hands, nnd requested that he
would read the address. The reply was
made as with an agreeable snrprisc:
"Why, this letter is forme! Ihavelieen
expecting it for a long while!" The
m>Bsenger npon this demanded ten tha
lers for the carriage of the packet, which
was readily paid, with a liberal addition
to the porter. The new possessor of
the packet hastened to an oliscure cor
ner to examine his prize ; but, on break
ing the seal, found nothing but a few
sheets of paper, on which was written
"Dona!"
AFTEB SUNKEN TBEASRRE.— It may be
remembered tiiat about two years back
a company was formed in France to
moke another attempt to recover the
treasure supposed to have been sunk in
the Spanish gnlleons in 1702. The pro
moters of the enterprise did not conceal
the hazardous nature of it; if successful
the speculators obtained an immense
return for their outlay, but if ended in
failure their capital would be complete
ly lost. This latter eventuality haa been
realized; the expedition has just return
ed to Havre, and is now landing the
materials used, consisting of diving ap
paratus, cranes, Ac., nnd which farm
the sole assets of the company.
A Fable. —One day General Gram
mar mustered his auxiliary forces, and
hade them answer to their names.
"I)o?" "Here, sir." "Be?" "Here,
sir." "Have?" "Here, sir." "Shall?"
"Here, sir." "Will?" "Here, sir."
"May?" "Here, sir." "Can?" "Here,
sir," answered Will.
" What do yon mean, man ?" thun
dered the general. "You have an
swered to your name already. I culled
for Can 1"
" Beg pardon, yonr honor, Can is
only another name of mine," replied
Will, giving the salute. — Good Thing*.
TEXAN BEEP. —Beef is now preserved
by a new process in Texas, and taken to
hugland and sold there for t#n cents a
pound. The meat, eut into joints, un
dergoes a chemical process, is then
packed in casks, which are tilled up
with the blood, and in that condition iH
found fresh at the expiration of several
months. Recently some of the meat
thus prepared was cooked and served
up at a dinner in Liverpool; it was pro
nounced deficient in flavor, but tender
and juicy and free from taint.
Among the Alligators.
* Balsa Haaisr Rttoto Ms KsgsHsass
with !>• Nussnh sf lbs U|ms.
A .Vim correspondent lias been inter
viewing an old Florid* alligator hnnter,
aud from him gained soiuo interesting
information relative to the monsters of
the lsgiMiu. Formerly the lagoon* and
lukea, as well as the river itself, above
Enterprise, were filled Willi alligators.
They are thicker there now than on any
i other part of the Ht. John's . If * pas
i aenger osa river boat killed an alligator,
! Cone, the hunter, marked the spot.
' Oocaaionally three or four alligabirs
would lie killed inside of three miles,
('apt. Cone would then east off his little
host, retrace his course and skin the
. annuals. He gets seventy-Ave cents s
' piece fur the hides delivered in Jackson
ville, At this time he was filling ati
order from a London Arm, through a
! Jacksonville merchant, for 8,000 hides.
I Said Cone these here skins makethree
| hundred and forty odd 'gators, I reckon,
I have bugged. You see huntiu' 'gators
I haint what it used to be. There lianit
tlie number o' 'gators iu tlie first plscc,
i ami the big 'gator* is more skeery. 1
reckon they know more than tlicy
kuowed ouivt. Now, 1 can remember
throe or four v*ars ago when gator
hide* was wutb from two to four dollars
apiece in Jacksonville. Sow they hain't
wuth a quarter as much. Correspon
dent— How large was the biggest 'gator
killed by yo|# this season ? Csjit. Cone
j —-Not over ten feet. The 'gators is
little this season, I reckon, or the big
uus is too plagtiey skeery. But it's all
the same on the hides. One hide's
wuth as much as t'other. Correspondent
| —How long does it take you to skin an
alligator? Capt. Cone- Well, I done
1 peeled the bark from a 'gator iu twelve
minit*. I'll everedge fifteen minits,
I reckon. At this point two passengers
saw au alligator on the right of the
i boat, and opened tire. The old 'gator
I huuterstraightened himself up, grabbed
his rifle ami rushed on the other aide of
the pilot house just iu time to see the
slimy black animal slide into the water.
'• Now," said Capt. Cone, on his return,
| " the hnn[f o" lead that is thrown sway
on 'gators by tliesa here die-hards who
come down to Florida every winter, is
more than any man 'ud reckon on.
Yesterday a die-hard signified to me
tlrat lie thought kc saw a 'gator with hia
head out of the wuter, and he went to
pitchiu' bullets iuto that here 'gator,
lie had one of these rifles that shoot*
eighteen times one after another with
out sloppiu'.aml I'll be dug-guued ef he
didn't put eighteen bullets into the
| 'gator, and the 'gator stood it. T'waut
nothing but a sunken log stickiu' out of
the water after all." Tlie old 'gator
hnnter said that he had killed a few
alligators by moonlight. Occasiuually
he found them in the night time away
from the river, prowling for food in the
pine woods. Indeed the pine woods iu
Sourtheru Florida are flil<-d with alii
' gators. I found them thicker there
than in any other sjioi. The woods are
frequently cut up iuto swampa and
savannas, and water stands in these
places all the year round. The alliga
tor makes large holes in these swamps
I aud ravaiinaa. He covers the holes
' with dried cane, grass, and wliatever he
can And of a similar nature. This cov
ering is raised like a cone, and is two or
three feet in height. There is a hole in
one side of the covering, through which
j the 'gator crawls out aud in. In these
holes the female alligator raises her
family. In Turubull swamp, near New
Smyrna. I saw an alligator hole which
set-ined to lie Ailed with young ones
about eight inches long. 1 was hunting
desr with Mr. A. J. Alexander of Wood
| burn farm, Kentucky, and Capt. Frank
i Hams, a prominent Indian nvcr hunter.
Sams was about to pnt bis hand in tlie
hole to pick up one of the little 'gators
when Mr. Alexander shouted, " Hold
on. Hums, there's an old alic one in that
hole, aud she's watching you. I can
see hor head." Mr. Alexander then
j drew a I wad on the old she one, and
fired. There was a thrashing of tlie
[ water as if a tiger had fallen into a
cistern. Mr. Alexander hail hit the old
| 'gator, but hail not killed her. In her
agony she had thrown one of the little
I fellows near the month of her nest,
i Hams snatched it up and put it in bis
pocket. The little fellow was very
lively, aud his eyes wore as bright as
diamonds. We took him to Lowd's
Hotel at Smyrna and tied him on the
mantelpiece. He lxcatne quite tome
and would amuse himself by catching
flics. He was very pugnacious and
would croak and snap at little aticka on
the slightest provocation. About
: Smyrna there are thousands of alliga
tors. The people there say it doe* not
j pay to kill them for their hidea, as
Smyrna ia too far from a market.
It was sundown when Capt. Cone
prepared to leave the taint. He said he
knew where then- were two 'gator* in a
marsh near on old Indian mound, and
he was going after them. As he enter
ed his boat I asked him what was the
length of the largest 'gator lie had ever
killed. y Fifteen feet and two inches,
I reckon," he shouted back. He then
hoisted his sail, and we anon lost sight
of him in the tall maiden canc.
Crowds of Northern men flock to
; Enterprise during the winter, and many
of them employ their time in hunting
alligators. The guests sit upon the
verandah of the hotel honr after hour
polishing alligator teeth with sandpaper
and buckskin. Every day someliody
brings in an alligator which has l>een
shot in the vicinity. After killing the
alligator, the men hitch him to the
| stern of their boat with a chain and
tow him to the beach in front of tlie
hotel. Tbev then hire a negro to cut
off liia head and skin him. After the
head is cut off it is lmried for two
weeks. This is necessary to secure the
monster's b-eth. It is amusing to see
eminent bankers, ministers, judges, and
others watching a spot in the ground,
near the hotel, where they have buried
An alligator's head. Oocaaionally some
gentleman gets hold of the wroug head,
and then there is a row. Everybody
seems crazy on the snbjcct of alligator
teeth. They sell from two dollars
apiece up to five dollars. I saw one
tooth Atc inches longsold to Capt. Tom
Reeves for twenty dollars. Some ne
groes make a fair living by carving
flowers and enriona figure* on the
teeth.
City rs. Country Newspapers.
The city weekly newspaper is usually
made np from reading matter used and
paid for by the daily paper ; hence it
coats but little ; while the eonntry paper,
on account of the limited amount of the
local advertising patronage, cannot af
ford a daily, and must make its weekly
from mutter expressly prepared for its
columns.
The city paper is made general in
character,— adapted to one jmrt of tlio
eonntry as well as another, and conse
quently has a wide field for circulation ;
while the country paper mnst le made
local, nnd adapted to its particular lati
tude, hence its circulation is limited to
its particular locality. But does the
city paper answer the purpose, and sat
isfy the wants of the country reader ?
By no means.
The paper published in the city re
alizes thousands of dollars from its ad
vertising patronage, while tho local
country pnjter gets but a meager aup
portf from this source. The principal
clerk in one of tho agricultural news
pajter offices in New York informed ns
that the "advertising patronage of their
paper amounted to an annual income of
over one hundred thousand dollars."
And yet the people of the eonntry ex
pect the local paper to be furnished at a
lower price than the city monopoly.
And while ho pays cash in advance for
his city paper, he put* his home paper
off with a promise to pay when he sells
his produce after harvest, or when ho
gets roady, and can licst spare the
money, at tho end of from ono to three
yours.
The tendency of such procedure on
the part of some delinquent subscribers,
as well as the recent act of Congress,
taking nway from country publishers
and their county subscribers the only
boon they ever allowed them to have,
will require the utmost economy in the
conducting of the country papers.
The best way for subscribers to en
courage their papers and keep them up
to their present standard, is to be
prompt in their payments.— Exchange.
The Florid* India* Hound*.
Th Turtle mound is among iho moat
famous in Florida. A oorrmpondout
mts of it:
Tbo mound is ou the beach aide of
Mosquito IjAgooii, nearly a hundred
utiles south til Hi. Augustiuo. About
eighty feet in height, it oovers nearly
an ae'rs of ground, and ean be seen at
a great distance looming np on the
eastern horiaon far above the paliurttn
scrub fringing tlm ocean. It ia shaped
bite an immuuse turtle. This shape
gives it it* name. It is the highest
IMiint of latnl on the eastern coast of
'lurid*, and stands within three hun
dred yards of the roaring ocean surf.
From the deck of a vessel ten miles at
sea it resembles a ruined fortification
built uiem a hill.
Turtle Muuud ia a great heap of very
large ovater shells covered with fmm
one to two feet of dirt. On the uorth
west corner the rain has washed awsy
the dirt, leaving s perpendicular bunk
of shells, eighty feet high. The build
ers <>f the work evidently raised it with
the greatest care. Every shell wss
placed in a given jxisitioD. Where the
slide has occurred the oyster shells rest
in plumbed layers, with lb# smooth sur
face facing the sky. A stone wall could
not have been erected with wore pre
cision. The mound ia alive with tropi
cal shrubbery. Wild orange trees load
ed with fruit wiive on its summit above
ttu almost iin|ieiietrable thieket. A
hollow covered with'rank vegetation has
been acooped out of the top of the hill.
It has an easy slope, and is probably
twelve feet in depth. It looks as though
the Imiies of some large aiiiiual had
been dug out of it iu ages past. Moa
nuito I . ..goon washes the western base of
the mound.
I found a small deer path which led
from a little sandspit up the aide of tlie
lull. The |utli, however, was soon lost
in the thicket, and it was with the
greastest difficulty that I Anally suc
ceeded in forcing my way through the
thorny undergrowth and sharp-pointed
Spanish bayonets to tli# top of tlie
mouml. Even then the ahrtibbery ws#
higher than my head, and the wild
orange# were higher than the shmblx-rv
I #}M-ut half an hour in forcing myself
to a point of observation.
No nuiuiitaiua nor lulls could be seen
from tlu* wound ; nothing but one vast
flat surface veined with lagoon# and
river# and covered with spot# of wax
like vegetation.
The builder* of Turtle Mound are
unknown. They were undoubtedly a
race of Indians who were wiped out of
existence centuriea ago. The Seminolea
and other Florida tribe# declare that
they have no traditions that explain tlie
mystery. They look upon the muuud
with nearly the same awe as tlie whites.
What ia singular with regard to Turtle
Mouml i# the fact that there are no oys
ter* excepting the small coon oyster,
within thirty miles. It wonld Ims inter
esting to know why three shells were
brought from *n oyater region faraway
and ao carefully deposited at this spot.
Hume tlnnk that tlie muuud builder#
of Florida were contemporary with the
mound builder* of the West. They be
lieve that the whole State was once un
der their control, and that thouaauda of
voars ago they were accustomed to visit
Turtle Mound once a year, fill thera-
M-lvea with fat orsterw winch might at
that time have been found in the vicini
ty, and pile the shells ia layer* a# they
now appear in tlie mound. This may
have been a religious observation with
the Indian*. But the whole thing is
speculation. Nobody knows anything
about it, and there is no probability
that any one will ever discover the se
cret.
The Formation of Fgg.
I will now state, says Prof. Agnsaiz,
a# far a# it ia known, what an egg is,
and how it ia formed. As the egg grows
steadily until it has completed it# trans
formation, it is difficult to give a de
scription of it which will answer for all
these stages, since at every successive
stage, while growing, the egg differs
from what it was before and from what
it is to be. All eggs, however, arise in
what are called ovaries. Tbeao are
clusters of cells, forming buuche# of
a somewhat glandular character in ap
pearance. Between these cell# the eggs
are formed aud in such away as at first
to be hardly distinguished from the
cells themselves. The same is true of
siierm cells, which arise in organs of
the same character as the ovary, and
are formed in a maimer perfectly simi
lar to that of the formation of the egg.
Ho we have these two spheres of growth
which characterize sex in the animal
kingdom, arising in conditions so very
similar that the easence of the two is
hardly to be determined by observation.
It is only by the process of growth, bj
the influences produced by the one
upon the other, and by the consequences
Of these influences, that we recognize
the essential difference which distin
guishes them.
Iu order fully to appreciate what eggs
are, we must remember—what has liecn
known for about a half ceutury ouly—
that all organized taxlic* are composed
of little bags whicb are called cells, and
which are formed and multipled in va
rious way*. Most of these cells are so
small that they can only lie perceived
bv the aid of high magnifying powers.
There are. it is true, a few cell stme
tnres large enough to be seen with the
naked eye, as for instance the cells of
common elder pith, or the coarse cells
of the orange. It ia one of the great
problems of modern research to ascer
tain how these cells are formed and
what ia their mode of reproduction.
For it does not seem that eella are form
ed in the same way nnder all circum
stances. Home naturalist* assume that
in the animal substance accreted by a
living bodv, such as milk which is se
creted hy tlie mammary glands or simi
lar substances accreted by other organs,
certain particle# become center# of ac
tion, around which other particles
crowd ; and when a little connection of
this kind, microscopically small, lias
lieen formed, an envelope arises around
it, and wo have the utricle or cell.
Others lielicve that minute, impercepti
ble particles of animal substance swell
and enlarge, ar' become hollow, so that
n litt'e bug ia formed, a ce'l envelope in
short, which fll'a as it enlarges iuto a
fluid substance.
A Strange Suicide.
The Han Francisco Vail tclla of ncase
of suicide in that city which of de
cided interest, apm/to* of the Goodrich
case. The name of the anieide was
James P. Wilson. The {xml mortem
examination revealed the fact that there
was a bullet wound in the upper portion
of the head and another iu the regien
of the right eye. The bullet which pro
duced the wound first dosrrilted entered
the forehead and shattered the frontal
hone, then glanced along the upper
part of the brain, while the other bullet
entered the right eye, and after passing
through the brain, lodged in the back
of the head. This, in connection with
the fact that, when fonnd, the deceased
held in his right hand a single-liarrel
breech-loading pistol, led to the belief
thnt he could uot have oommitted sui
cide. The argument used in favor of
that lielief oras that deceased could not
have inflicted two wounds such as de
scribed with a single barrel pistol. A
further investigation, however, showed
that any other theory was mite lable.
One of the witnesses testified that he
saw s man walking along Turk street,
and saw the man stop, raise his hand
toward his head, and then heard a re-
Cort of a weapon, and saw smoke. That
e supposed at the time thnt the man
was shooting at birds, for after the shot
had been fired he saw the man continue
along Turk street, and saw him erosa a
fence. That about half or three-quar
ters of an hour after that he saw the
same man ret urn to the place where the
first shot was fired, heard him fire a
second shot, and saw him fall. That
there was no one in the vioinity at the
time. He afterward learned that the
man was dead, having shot himself.
Ten feet from where the bedy waa fonnd
a pool of blood was discovered, and near
it an empty cartridge shell which ex
actly fitted the pistol.
