" What Alia the PtgaT" A correspondent of the Ploughman, some days ago, wrote stating that his litter of pigs had lost the ilse of their hind legs, so that they had to drag themselves along to the trough, and asks what was the matter. ' - We answer, emphatically, paraplegia. otherwise called paralysis of the hind quarters. The treatment indicated is usually to give some physio and move the bowels, which are generally torpid Castor oil is good, the dose according to the size of the pier. After the medi cine is given, if yon havo a comfortable place immerse the bodies in a hot bath for a few minutes, and having some dry cloths rub them dry, applying consider able friction. - - A paste made of mustrad with vinegar should then be applied to the skin on each side of tho spine (back bones) par ticularly over., the loins ; for several days the pigs should not be exposed to the cold air or storms. As to the causes, which produce the disease, it is supposed that sudden changes of tho weather, exposure to rain and strong draughts of air often produce an attack of the disease in question. Rolling Ilie Ground. A correspondent of tho Gormantown Tctcrraph writes: " On dry or wet ground the effect of tho. roller is -found to be salutary, rioughed and prepared for sowing, dry land is much helped by the roller. Tho blades of grass spring np sooner and retain a firmer hold in the earth. Iu a season of drouth, rolling has'saved the crop, when without it the seed would havo never sprung from the ground. In wet and heavy ground it id believed the roller, smoothing and hnrdegiiricr the surface, will leave the soil immediately. 1 .1- 41. t - 1 11 1 ' iiL'uuuiiii mo euriuuu iu u uuLbfT. condi tion to generate the seed. On grass ground that has been heaved by the frost, the roller has an excellent .fject in fixing the1 roots." Eolling the grouiid is also good when the land has. been laid down unevenly the previous year. If the land is too dry, wait till just after a sonkiug rain, and it Will work capital ly. It is a good idea to roll ploughed sowed ground before harrowing, as it presses down the furrows that would be turned back and makes the surface less uneven, and the harrow pulverizes' it much. We find that on an average not one farmer in fonr has a roller." Feed from tlie Acre. A correspondent qf the Practical Farmer gives the following accgunt of what he produced from two and a half acres of land in first-rate order, used for soiling and root growing. The land was used from August 1st, 1871, to the end of the season, 1873. The fodder corn, green rye for autumn use, and white mustard, . furnished food for twenty-five oows for two months, and for thirty-five cows and two oxen for one month. . In addition to this he raised eight hundred and forty bushels of round turnips, the same quantity of beets, and two Hundred and fifty bush. els ruta bagas. When dairymen learn to produce suck .an amount of fodder from an acre, a fifty acre farm will car ry as many cows as two hundred acres under the wasteful system ,pf three or four acres to pasture a cow." " If dairy men would study the best method of feeding more cows on their small farms, instead of buying more . land to. .be spoiled by half tillage, they would move in the right direction, " PotatoeVln Drills.'-'' " "' ' A correspondent in Jiurql 'Home writes : To test the difference in yield between planting in drills or in hills, 'I planted six rows across the field three and a half feet apart, and hill two feet nine inches in the row, and by the side of them six rows in drills, with seed once in twenty inches, and rows about tho sarao as the other. The yield by weight proved to be two; and a half bushels, or twelve and a half bushels in favor of the drills, although they had been' damaged some by tho horse hav ing to turn around on them when culti vating those in hill.

" ' Her only dress was - a short i pettiooat tf r variegated feather work. A wreath of rosebuds crowded her soft, short, black hair, and she wore a pearl . necklace, as - well as broad gold armlets and anklets. ' With a brilliant smile she danced exquisitely for some minutes to the accAmpaniment of .a single pipe, then 1 knelt and laid her head npon old Norodom's knee. The boy fanned her with a fan made of sweet fern leaves, Minhman fetched a lotos-Shaped golden goblet, and Tepada poured into it from a quaint looking flask a fluid of a greenish hue, The old Yogi-like Norodom took the goblet and blew his breath npon the- contents till they broke into a pale blue flame. This Tepada extinguished with his breath, when Norodom held the goblet to . Lnan-Frabana's lips, and she drained the contents with a sierh. -As if transfigured she suddenly sprang to her feet, her face Btrangely radiant, and began to spin giddily around in v one snot. First the bov. then Minhman. then Tepada tried, to . arrest her, but they no sooner touched her than she repelled them with a Shock that thrilled them as if she had imparted an electric spark to tbem. spinning constantly, with a bewilderingly rapid motion, the girl now sprang off the stage and down the hall, along by the . foot of tlie -col umns, Tsin-ki, Minhman, and Tepada in active pursuit. - In and out among the crowd they spnn, the three chasing. Tepada seized hold of the chaplet that crowned her ; it broke, and as she whirled along, a spray of rosebnds was scattered from her brow in every direc tion. Anything more graceful never was seen. V. . , u . - And now a greater wonder. At the extremity of the hall the three sur rounded and . would have seized her, when, still revolving, she rose slowly into the air, and floated gently over our heads towards the stage, scattering roses as she went. At the brink of the stage, she paused., in mid-air ; - then, with a slight wing-like motion of her arms, mounted up, up, np towards the loftiest arch of the vault overhead. Suddenly old Norodom seized a bow and arrow and shot towards her. There was a wild shriek, a rushing sound, and the dancer fell with a crash to the flags of the floor, and laid there an ap- Earently bloody mass. The music urst forth into a wild wail, and the chorus of old hags came tumultuously lortli and bore her off in their arms. - Now. from behind the red curtain came atlozen strong men, bearing on their shoulders a great leaden box, which they laid upon the front part of the' stage. As they-, retired the old wothe'n came out, bringing a low couch, decorated with flowers and gold-embroidered napery.upon which lay Lnan Prabana, decked, .forth in bridal gar ments, and sweetly sleeping. - The cou'eh with its sleeper was put quietly doWn npon the front part of the stage and left there, while . Norodom and Tepada went to the leaden box, and with hot' irons attempted to unseal it. "That is Stung-Tieng's ooffiu," whis- Eered Woun to me ; . " the old saint as been dead more than half a mil lenium." Quickly, eagerly it seemed to mo, the two men broke open the fastenings Of the ooffln, until the side next the audi ence falling out at last, a teak box was discovered. This was prized open with a small crowbar, and what seemed a great bundle of nankeen taken out. Tepada and Norodom commenced to unwind this wrapping, which was very tight. Yard after yard was unwound and folded away by Minhman, and at last, after at least 100 yards of wrap ping had been taken off, the dry, snriveied mummy oi a small, old man was'visible eyes closed, flesh dry and hard dead and dry as a smoked her ring. Norodom tapped the corpse with the crowbar, and it prave a dull, wooden sound. Tepada tossed it up and caught it it was stm as a log. Then he placed the mummy upon Norodom's knees. and fetched a flask of oil, a flask of wine, and a censer burning with some Eungent incense. Norodom took from is Mir a little box of unguent, and prying open the mouth of the mummy with a cold ohise'i, showed, that the dry tongue eould rattle like a chip against the dry fauces?, 1 He filled the mouth with unguent and closed it, and anoint ed the eyelids, nostrils, and ears. Then ha and Tepada mixed the wine and oil, and carefully rubbed every part of the body with it. -Then, laying it down in a reclining position, they put the burn. ing censer upon the ehest and withdrew apace, while the drums and gongs and cymbals crashed and clattered, and the shrill, cackling treble of the chorus of old women rose hideounly. A breathless pause ensued one. two. three minutes and the mummy sneezed, sneezed thrice, so violently as to exunguisn tne name oi tue censer, A moment later the thing sat np, and starcd'blinkine; and. vacant out around the vault an old, old: : wrinkled man. with mumbling chops, a. shriveled breast and belly, and little tufts of white hair npon his chin and forehead, Tepada : approached him reverently npon his knees, bringing a salver, with wino and a wafer-cake. The old man did not notice him, but ate, drank, then tottered to hia feet, the feeblest, decrepit old dotard that ever walked. In another moment he saw the nautch girl slumbering ' upon her couch ; he shuffled feebly to her. and. mumblincr, stooped as if to-help his dim eyes to seeiiter better. with a clad orv the maidenwaked, clasped him in her. arms and to her breast.

" "' k correspondent of the Little Kock (Atk.) aazett sends that paper the fol lowing aocount of a .common poll-parrot which has not only been trained to hunt, but which has learned to take a great delight in the chase Tne owner and ' trainer 01 this nunt itta parrot is a boatman who formerly plied between Little Rock and New Or leans, but who some years since gave up the business of boating and nas since led the life of a hunter, living in a snug cAbii' at the jndetion of Big Mammelle creek ' with ' the Arkansas river. - This hunter hermit, whose name is Nathan Lask, brought with him from New Orleans,. on making his last trip to that city, a fine young parrot, to which he Boon became more attached than any other thing on earth. Others did not share h'is'high regard for his pet, and not a few fights did he have with those who saw fit to abuse what they called " a squawking nuisance.'' , Loving his pet more than all the world beside, and, above all. desiring to live in peace, Nat. Lask took up his residence in tho out-of-the-way place mentioned' above, Jiis parrot being his constant oompanion. Here he may be said - to have led tho life of a hermit; for few and short wore the visits he received from his kind at his lone cabin. His bird was all in all to him. All tho love that ho would have lavished on wife and weans it re ceived. Seated on his shoulders, the parrot attended him in all his walks, To train the bird and talk to it was al most his sole occupation. .With tho careful training of so loving a master, added to its creat natural talent forimi- tatinff nil mnnnnr of r.rins of birds and animals, this bird had become a marvel of cunning, and a groat wonder in its way. Taken into the hills bordering Big Maninieue creek, and the eicnal be ing given at intervals, it utters the cry of the turkey so perfectly as to deceive the oldest and most astute gobbler that ever strutted. On being answered by a gobbler, the parrot proceeds .to lure hfru to death in the most fiendishly co quetish manner imaginable. Seated on his master's shoulders, charily and coy ly the parrot replies. Once he has fully attracted the attention of the vain and anxious gobbler, often allowing him to call in a fretful tone twice or thrioe be fore deigning to answer, he then, in a few low and tender notes, lures the proud bird of the forest within range of the hunter's deadly rifle. Seeing the turkey struggling in the aconies of death fills the parrot with the most fiendish delight, to which he gives ut terance in a succession of blood-chill ing "ha, ha's " in all manner of dia bolical tones and keys. Should the hunter miss his aim, however, the par rot ruilles his feathers, croaks and Bcolds, pulls his master's hair and long refuses to be pacihed. Duck-hunting in iorche and Weto Bayous is, however, the parrot's chief delight. Seated in the bow of his mas ter's boat, snugly ensconced in a patch of tall bulirushes, the parrot bursts forth into such a "quack, quacking 1" and general duck gabble that there seems to be in the vicinity a whole flock of these birds, all enjoying themselves immensely. Thus are many passing flocks of ducks lured within range of the gun of the hunter. (Jeese are in the same way called np by this wouderful parrot; also, many other wild fowl and even deer, as the bird imitates the plaintive bleating of a fawn or doe to a nicety. No money would buy the bird, and Nat. Lask, seen strolling through the woods, gun in hand, and with his almost inseparable companion seated on his left shoulder, seems a second 'Bobidson Crusoe. Al- thoughso perfect in his imitatiois of all manner of birds and animals, the parrot is not a great talker ; indeed his vocabniary is limited to a few words and one or two short phrases. He will sometimes sing out, " Nat, you lub ber!" and when "Dan Tjnnno-'ftn Ca Drother boatman of Nat's living at the head of iiayou J- orche and almost his only visitor), in his du'g-out.is seen pad dling in towards the mouth of JJig Mammelle creek, the parrot whose name we forgot to say is "Hobby will shout, ijanagan, ahoy I ijanagan, a-a-hoy r . The moment Hobby sees his master take down his gnn he is in a great flutter. ' Hecockshis head on one side, his great red eyos sparkling with delight, and in a low, inquiring tone, says: " Turkey ? turkey? " JSo, Bobby," Nat will perhaps say, "not turkey to-day." Bobby cocks his head the other way and softly says, "yuack, quack, quack 1 " les, Uobby, says "Nat, "quack I quack 1 Jiobby then bursts into a loud "ha I ha I ha I and cries, "Nat, you lubber quack 1 ouack! quack !" Then he ha ha's till the whole cabin rings again. Following a Speaker. It is interesting to observe an impres sible person follow an earnest speaker, says the Danoury Aewt. ilis whole ai- pearance is one of intense expectation. llis mouth, his eyes, and every movable part of his face appears to be on the finest of springs, and the springs in the full control of the speaker. Uncon sciously he smiles, smirks, winks, sneers, contracts and expands his fea tures, just as the speaker does all these things. It is tho result of an influence that is powerful, and yet so delicate that the slightest interruption breaks the soell. Although he is unconscious that he is duplicating tho facial move ments of the object of his attention, yet let him catch the glance of an amused observer of himself, and ho under stands it in an instant. And then how mad he is. llis delight changes in stantaneously to anger and mortifica tion, and during the balance of the roci tation his features are as immovable as a mole on the chin, .

At ho Church of the Strangers, in New York city, an effort was made to organizo a socioty of ladies to con a temperance campaign as it is being done iu Ohio. The following question was asked the ladies: " Can you get the consent of your husband, father, brothers? That is the least difficult part of tho struggle. Cau you face the misconstruction of motive, the in civility, possibly the insults of those whom it will be necessary to visit in the prosecution of the work ? Ten were found willinf? to take every risk, and they resolved themselves into a Committee of the Whole npon the right way to go to work. In a city as large as New York, one in which so much alcohol is sold, all agreed that the work presented vastly greater em barrassments than elsewhere. They finally agreed that as those enrolled were barely a nucleus, it was better to defer aotive operations for a week. It is to be a week of prayer and earnest endeavors to recruit their numbers. The city is to be districted, and a lady is to be assigned to each district. She will be expected to visit every place in which liquor is made or sold, to talk with the proprietor, and report his dis position toward their cause to the general body. If he seems likely to be turned from his evil ways by prayer and moral suasion, those batteries are to be turned on him. Failing in that. the owners of houses in which liquor is sold are to be appealed to to refuse to lease their houses again for that pur pose. Chinese American Wives. At the aristocratic Chinese club house, at 34 Mott street, New York, a reporter who visited them found the members were active in preparing to celebrate the new year. A young and pretty Irish cm. scarcely over eighteen. opened the door for the reporter. She was neatly attired, and had a bright colored shawl over her shoulders. A broad-faced youner Chinaman was soon at her elbow. " What-ee want ?" he asked. The reporter, unable to make him understand, turned to the girl. " Do you live here ? he asked. " Yes," she replied, smiling. " I suppose tho club will celebrate to-morrow ?" queried the reporter. ' Oh, yes, said the girl, again laugh ing. " To-day we had a nice dinner, chickens and such things, and the men and their wives are now smoking and drinking sour wine. The wives are all Irish girls," added the girl, drawing her shawl tightly around her and half clos ing her eyes. "In married, she con tinued. What, said the reported in sur prise, " married to a Chinaman V " Certainly, she answered proudly ; 'married two weeks to-day. Then laughing outright she went on to say that the Chinamen were all Rood " fel lows ;" that they work hard, go to night school, and are devoted to their wives, Her husband, she added, had been in business five years, and she had been told that he was a " fine man." A Case of Circumstantial Evidence. Annie Tope was living with a family named Hides, near jonesboro, ill, every member of which was supposed to be equal to the commission of murder. Ono night women's voices were heard in loud altercation, and two pistol-shots were fired, followed by a ' piercing shriek, after which Annie Tope was seen no more in the vicinity of Jones boro. Some months passed away, dur ing which the most uncomplimentary rumors were circulated relative to the connection of the Sides family with her disappearance. A search was made for the murdered girl s remains, and was so far successful that the body of a woman was found with two bullet-holes in ic. Some clothing and trinkets upon it were identified as the property of Annie J. ono, and a strong case was ap parently made cut against the Sides family, who were arrested and lodged in jail. The astonishment of the crowded court-room at a preliminary in vestigation may be imagined when, all the evidenoe for the mate being in, counsel for the defense placed npon the witness-stand the girl whose remains had apparently been discovered some weeks previously. Hince Miss Tope emphatically repudiates the mangled corpse the county authorities are dill gently searching for the rightful name to which it belonged. Gen. Sherman and the Indians.

Walker's Caliiornia Vin egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na tive herbs found on the lower ranees of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- j nia, tlie medicinal properties of which are er'--acted therefrom without the use of -ohol. The question is almost dal "y asked, "What is the cause of tne -unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit- tersi Our answer is, mar iney remove , the cause of disease, and the patient re ; ' covers his health. They are the great ' J blood purifier and a lifo-giving principle, A penect Kenovator - ana 1 n vigoracor of the system.

No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided thoir bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro. anoke, James, and many others, with ' their vast tributaries, throughout out entire country during the Summer, and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- . rangement8 of tho stomach and liver, and othor abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the samo time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring tho Jiealthy functions of tho digestive organs. . ,. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vihegar Bitters. No cpidomie can tako hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head- . ache. Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs, ' Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour " Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid neys, and a hundred Other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspopsia.
