He. real from Democratic newspapers,
showing the intiniiihition Uiat existed in
MissisMpjH, nnd bhowiil some of the re
markable changes that had taken place in
I he vote of certain precincts. In Yazoo,
lor instance, the 1! -pulsHcnii vote in 1872
was 2,4:57, the Democratic vtVie 411. At
the last election the Democratic vote waa
4,041, the Ilepublican vote 7! Other
places exhibited similar gains and losses.
JS'ow does anybody lielitve that these arc
the returns of a fair vote? Does not every
sensible man know that such a result could
only lie had by intimidation or gross fraud?
And is it promised to wink at f-uch scan
dalous performances, and make no sign
of rebuke or condemnation? Uul, as if
eiioli absurd returns were not sullicient to
t-ho the glaring nature of the fraud, it is
s-hown that 20,000 more votes were cast
than there were registered voters in the
tsfate! Yet Messrs. Bayard, Thurman,
ft al. objeet lo looking into the matter, as
lie act would le another step toward
centralization !" This is decidedly cool.

Mishing the facts in this case? Will
yone save the rogues who have ptTjxs-

Hot Ix.t lo their own base puroses?
It is jMissible these Democratic leaders
,i?'ay make capital out. of an opjMisition to
the proposed investigation, but to un
prejudiced eyes it looks like an attempt to
cover up the tracks ot accomplices; a hid

Democratic DonghTaces.
The Northern Democratic representa
tives in Congress are beginning to show
Ihtir hands and to do the dirty work of
the Southerners with the same alacrity
and relish as la-foie the rcLi-llion. In
deed, they seem to have entered upon the
doughface and dirt eating business with
even more eagerness than in the days of
slavery, when the whips of the chivalry
kept clicking about their ears mi indus
triously. They xeem to have given them
selves over to the Confederates, bodies,
souls and breeches. They have hail their
noses held lo the grindstone by Ihem un
til tliey consented to let King Lamar dic
tate the business of the House, enunciate
their policy upon all questions and tell
Ihem how to vote. They have thrown
w ide open the doors of the House, have
collected together the one armed aud one
legged veterans who were given the minor
otin -s as a reward for their services to the
I'uion, and kicked them out into the
street at the bidding of the Confederates.
The places of the maimed soldiers have
been studiously filled with ex-rebels. To
pratify Confederate spleen anil venom,
these Northern doughfaces have penetrated
every nok and cranny of the House and
swept it clean of every crippled Union
veteran. They even went nosing alxiut in
the ladies' retiring-rooms, and at last
found an old colored woman who had
l-ccn a waitress for years, and whom they
also kicked out into the street to make
room for an ex-Confederate's widow.
They have, therefore, established the fact
that the only test for oflicc-hohiing in the
House is a proof that the candidate waa
either an active participant in the war to
break up the Union or a sympathizer
with secession. The lioys in blue go to
the rear; the rebels come to the front.
This is just the condition of things that
the Tribune, predicted would take place as
poon as the House was organized, and
this is only the lieginningof the end. The
South is moving upon the Treasury, and
as Mr. Lamar has been given the control
of the Democratic votes the Northern
doughfaces dare not stand in the way of
the ex-rela-ls. Shoals of bills are already
pouring in, tho majority of them from
the South, and nearly every one of
them involving a claim or an ap
propriation to recompense Confed
erates for their loss and trouble
in resisting the Union army. On Tues
day 2;:3 bills were introduced, the ma
jority of which were to enable c.x-rebels
lo get their hands into the Treasury and
remunerate themselves for losses incurred
in the war of the rebellion. And this is
but the beginning of the end, only the
few tirst drops lajiore the shower, the ad-
vance guard of the grand IJourbon raid
upon the Treasury, which has leen made
possible by the dirt eating and doughface
ism of the Northern Democracy. Of
these Northern Democrats, at least sixty
are holding their seals in the House five
or six from this State alone by virtue of
Republican votes (who foolishly thought
the leopard could change his spots), and
this is the manner in which they are pay
ing back tor the political advantages they
base secured. e hope that the Repub
lican who helped elect them are satisfied
with their success in helping to throw
the control of the House of Representa
tives into the hands of ex rela-ls and to
give Confederates precedence over Union
boldiers. Chicago Tribune, Dtc. 17.
2T" The late election in Mississippi
ecems to have leen a decidedly mixed
and mysterious affair. The returns do
not stand investigation. The enormous
Democratic majority rolled up in a State
that has a large Republican majority of
voters remains to l accounted for. AN hile
Congressional investigations into State
matters are to be deprecated anil discour
aged, this affair looks so exceedingly sus
picious that it can hardly be allowed to
pass without- scrutinizing inquiry. If
the colored people were terrified from
voting, or the election was carried by
fraud it would 1 well to have the matter
understood. The thing is just now in a
very complicated and unfortunate condi
tion for all tancerned in it. AT. . Y.

There Is no doubt but that m" small
waist" is admired by all men and all
women. No matter bow I he physiologist
or the physicians may talk, women have
always compressed their waists and ex
panded their skirts, and they always will,
tmtil public opinion pronounces for a
heavy figure. It lias never influenced a
fashionable woman yet to hear that the
Venus de Medici had a large waist; she
has been told so ever since that faultless
image of female beauty was disinterred.
She merely shrugs her shoulders and
draws her laces tighter.
She knows very well that, if she went to
a ball with that figure of V enus, no man
would ask her to dance. So Important a
matter is it to have a small waist that it
has become a matter of pride to the Aus
trian ieople, and it is often mentioned in
the court journals that the Empress of
Austria is celebrated for possessing a waist
which only measures sixteen inch. This
is a greater nobility than even the pos
session ot sixteen quartering on your
shield, without which you cannot lie ad
mitted to the liest society of Vienna.
' Sixteen," therefore, is a magic number
at Vienna. There are many jx.rsons, t
lie sure, who have as small a waist but
they have not the height and contour
and becoming fullness which the Empress
has.
Nor Is the " small-waist furor" alone
confined to the women of civilized lands,
so-called. The small foot of the Chinese
women is a local peculiarity; the small
waist, or the striving for It, is universal.
Even grave Humboldt describes the beau
ties of Java as eating a sort of clay called
ampo, by which they liecome very much
reduced in size. It kills them finally,
but wha of that?
Undoubtedly there will always be fool
ish mothers who make thelf dau; liters
sfeep in their corsets, arid many foolish
women who will always drawsheir laces
too tight; but the golden mean remains;
a figure well but not too stiflly supported,
a waist "slender, round, but not too small
for the adjacent figure, is the grand de
sideratum of female beauty.
Nothing is so unliecoming as a too
tight garment. A shoe that is too small
Fjioils a pretty foot; a glove which squeezes
the hand ruins the effect; and a waist in
judiciously compressed ruins the figure
ad the face. The blood is forced into
the hands and arnis j the figure is pressed
out of proportion; and the whole effect is
singularly unpleasant. A large woman
in France, where women have a taste for
the becoming in dress conferred upon them
by Providence wears ample uraiierics,
loosely-fitting garments, and a corset
which does her the best possible service,
for it makes her look and feel at her ease
no labored breathing, no unnatural red
ness, no fear of suffocation; she is simply
a large, beautiful object, instead of a pil
low tied in the middle, with a general air
of asphyxia.
Large women should remember that uo
light lacing makes them look any smaller-.
The size is like all other matter it must
go somewhere, and the effect of squeezing
the figure is never good. Every wrmari
cannot rejoice in the " willow-pattern"
which is so beautiful in young girls. Age,
which reduces everything else, is apt to
add oh to the figure of woman, and time
brings an undesirable stoutness. This
cannot be better treated than it was by the
late Duchess of Devonshire, one of the
most beautiful of women, Who grew at
forty, as English women are apt to dok
very stout.
"How have yon kept your complexion
so pure, my dear Duchess?" 6aid one of
her fellow-Iadies in waiting at the court
of Queen Victoria.
" Ry dressing at ease and keeping my
temper," said the handsome Duchess.

LongeYity of Brain-Workers.
Dr. George M. Beard prcpcnted a recent
paper before the American Public Health
AssiH'iation in which he successfully re
futed the assertion of Thomas Hughes, M.
I., in the "Life of Alfred the Great,"
that " the world's hardest workers and
noblest benefactors have rarely been long
lived." Dr. Reard based Ids confutation
upon facts gained from trustworthy regis
tration reports and from the yearly necro
logical records, and upon these he was
able to build up an invincible demonstra
tion that brain-workers arc, as a rule,
longer-lived than muscle-workers, aud that
the greatest and hardest brain-workers of
history have lived longer, on an average,
than muscle-workers of ordinary industry
and ability.
Compiling a list of 500 of the most emi
nent men ot all time, and including in the
catalogue with rigid impartialit' the names
of many like Byron, Raphael, Pascal,
Mozart and Keats, who died young, it was
found that the average longevity of the
whole list was 04 l- years. This exceeds
by 14 l- years the average age of those
of all classes who live over twenty years.
A second list of 100 men famous in the
fields of active thought gave an average
longevity ot 70 years, that is, of 20 years
above the average of all classes taken in
discriminately. As to the causes of this greater longevi
ty among lirain-workers, Dr. Beard re
marked that ' brain-workers have less
worry and more comfort and happiness
than muscle-workers;" they find pleasure
in their work and can adapt it " to their
moods, and hours, and periods of greatest
capacity for labor," and, generally, they
respect the laws of hygiene. In referring
to the causes of exceptional longevity of
great brain-workers. Dr. Beard pro
nounced them quite complex, yet classed
them all under the four following general
heads:- "1. Great men usually come
from healthy, long-lived ancestors. 2. A
good constitution usually accompanies a
good brain. 3. Great men who are per
manently successful have correspondingly
greater wills than common men, and force
of will is a potent element in determining
longevity. 4 Great men work more easi
ly than ordinary men."
Climate and Appetite.
In Russia, Sweden and Norway, where
prolonged and biting winters necessitate
action and large supplies of animal heat,
meals are frequent and of great duration.
Five hearty repasts per diem, among
which dinner is Uie chief one, are the
common allowance in those Northern lo
calities. Ihis princial meal is heralded
by a cold collation, pat taken en- route for
the dining-room. In a small ante-room
the guests pause before a small table
spread with , articles creative of appetite
and thirst, such as red herring, sardines,
caviare, cheese, sharp pickles and arrack,
the native whisk. Thus stimulated, a
much larger repast Is made than would
otherwise be possible. "When this custom,
however, is introduced, regardless of cli
matic requirements, it is prone to conduce
to sluggishness, as in some parts of Ger
many. Again, the glowing mother earth
and ardent skies of Italy furnish her chil
dren with their best preservatives against
their combined intensity of heat. Fruits
and salads, succulent, refreshing, cooling,
form the national breakfast ana the chief
staple of other meals, being freely par
taken of with results which might be
much less favorable under a cooler sky.
Nature, amidst these wondrous adapta
tions, u not neglectful of the needs of an
imals, as may be briefly instanced by a
Norwegian custom. " "N ithin the Arctic
circle, where the winters are a long, twi
light ami the highlands so barren that peo
ple subsist upon bread made from the ten
der bark of the birch-tree, the" cattle are
fed upon dried fish, caught in those storied
fiords whose waters, the Fortunatus purse
of Norway, stretch far inland by dusky '
forests of pine. Harper's Magazine.
A little girl came into her mother's

still larger in November, as the natural
increase is steady and constant ; and yet
the total number of votes cast at the No

Oddities of the Mail Service.
111 a
Gkxekal Mail Agent Bancs
recent letter, says:
1 looked into the collection of articles
which have passed through the mails aud
never been called for, preserved in the
Dead-Letter Ollice, a few days ago, and
hastily made a schedule of some of the
most striking curiosities. Among them
were : Rattlesnakes, 0. These had passed
through the mails alive in perforated tin
boxes. Centipede, 1 ; snake-skin, 1 ;
wooden shoes, 1 pair; ladies' back-hair, 2
sets ; ox-horns, 1 ; gold watches, 3 ; Colo
rado potato-bugs, 1 bottle; moccasins, sev

ments, a good many; jewelry, large quan
tity; sets of false teeth, several; Ameri
can Hags, 2 masks, 2; bowie-knivrs, 2;
razors, 1 ; minerals and shells, many.
Bouquets of flowers are frequently sent
through the mails. On one occasion a
bouquet and a young alligator were in
similar boxes -in the same bag. The lids
of the boxes accidentally came off, -md
the flowers aud alligator were at large in
the same bag. One oox Was addressed to
a lady at Albany, N. Y., and the other to
a lady at Bridgeport, Conn. The route
agent was troubled to know in which lx
to place the alligator and in which to put
the flowers. Finally he settled the diffi
culty by putting the alligator in the Con
necticut lady's box and writing thereon:
"If vou were expecting flowers instead
-1 tn a. gator, lorward to Mrs. ,
Albany, N. Y." On the Albany lady's
box he wrote: " If you were expecting an
alligator instead of these flowers, forward
to Mrs. , Bridgeport, Conn." By
good luck the agent got the different arti
cles into the right boxes.
The Outside Passenger.
It was in the old days of stage-coaches,
and one of those huge, lumbering vehicles
was plowing its way between Boston aud
Salem in a driving rain-storm, filled in
side and outside with a jolly jam of passengers.
Among the number of the-more fortunate
insiders was a respectable, bald-headed old
gentleman, w ho seemed to be very solicit
ous about a lady riding on the roof.
Jvery lew minutes lie popped out his
head, regardless of the rain, and shouted
to some one above: "Well, how is she
now?" And the answer came: "All
right."
" Is she getting wet?" inquired the old
man.
" No, not much," was the reply.
" Well, can't you put something 'round
her? 'Twill never do to have her get wet,
you know."
" W e've got everything around her we
can get."
" 1 laven t you got an old coat or a rug 5"
" No, not a rag more."
A sympathetic young man, hearing all
this, anil feeling alarmed for the poor lady
out in the storm, inquired of the old
gentleman why they didn't have her ride
? .1 - .. . . 1 j.
lnsiue anu not oui on uie rooi.
"Bless you, there ain't room!" ex
claimed the old man.
"Not room! Why I'll give her my
place ; it's too bad !"
" 2ol at alt, sir, not at all. e couldn't
get her into this stage anyhow."
Amazed at her prodigious dimensions.
the kind young man said: " Well, sir, if
my coat would be ot any service to you
she may have it ;" and, suiting the action
to the word, he took off that garment and
handed it to the old gentleman.
' It's almost a pity, sir, to get your
overcoat wet, but "
44 Not at all, sir; by no means; pass
it up to her."
The coat was accordingly passed up.
" How will that do for her "
44 Tip-top"! Just the ticket! All right
now."
Thus relieved, no further anxiety was
manifested about the outside passenger
till the stage arrived at the inn, when
what was the sympathetic and the gallant
young man's surprise and indignation to
find that his nice coat had been wrapped
around not a fair lady of unusual pro
portions, but a double bass viol!
Extraordinary Tragedy.
The following stranie account of a
tragical occurrence at Toulouse is pub
lished by the Paris Siecle of a recent date :
"Two men, strangers to the place, ap
plied three days back for permission to
ascend to the top of the tower of the old
Cordeliers Church, formerly used as a
storehouse for fodder, and which w s
partly burned in lbl. Leave was grant
ed ; but shortly afterward the two men
were seen to lean over the parapet locked
in each ether's arms, and then to fall to
the ground. One, who appeared to be
the principal, and wore a decoration Ln has
button-hole, was taken up dead; the other
was only -stunned, and on being carried
to the hospital made this extraordinary
statemeut: The deceased, he said, was an
engineer and had formed with him a plan
to rob 'the Bank of Toulouse by means of
a subterranean passage leading to the cel
lars of that establishment, and which bad
been in course of construction for several
months previousli The work w:re ter
minated and the plan was to be carried out
an hour latef; His accomplice then In
duced llim td go to the lop of the tower
on some pretext, and then suddenly
seized him by the waist and endeavored
to throw him from the top, in order,' no
doubt, to obtain the whole of the booty.
A struggle took place between them, in
the course of which they both fell over as
described. The cellars of the bank were
visited and the passage was found almost
terminated; another hour's work and it

Iove-Crazed A Sad Story.
One of the mist mournful sights we
ever saw, and one of" the most . touching
incidents that ever fell to oiir Jol to wit
ness, took place the other night at Den
nisoh. Tlie train going south was some
hourt la-e, ah'l a number bf paMuenrers
were waiting, with what patience they
could, lor its arrival. As we entered the
ladies' waiting-room we Mere approached
by a very lieautiful girl, . whose dress,
though rich, was considerably disordered.
She stepped directly in front of us and
fastened her eyes ujion our face with the
most appalling look in them, gazed a mo
ment and then, as if disappointed, sighed
and turned away. Her face wni one tif
the mot lK?a"tiP.tl we had ever seen, and
lier actions so peculiar that our interest
was excited, and we sat down intent upon
discovering the cause of her strange
actions. Up and down the room she
walked, with her eyes constantly fixed
upon the door, nnd singing to herself an
air so plaintive that it seemed to come
from a heart overburdened with sorrow.
A middle-aged gentleman sat in one cor
ner of the room, ami once or twice he
spoke to her and called her to him.
She would immediately olicy, but
hardly would Ik; seated .before, she
would spring up again ai)d continue
her wnlk with her eyes fixed upon Uie
door. Presently a gentleman entered, and
with a little fluttering cry she sprang for
ward, and, surveying him, said: 44 Oh, it
is too early, too earl'." The gentleman
seemed as much surprised as wc were,
and, taking a seat by our side, he re
marked on her strange conduct. Just
then a lady and gentleman entered, and
the maiden exhibited the most intense ex
citement. She subjected the lady to the
closest scrutiny, and, evidently not pleased,
would toss her head ahd walk round and
round her, once approaching ami taking
hold of her dress. At this the gentleman
who had her in charge came i'onhtrd, and
taking her by the arm led lifer to a seat,
where she sat with evident reluctance, and
singing and crying by turns. Finally she
got calmer, and the gentleman allowed
her to continue her walk, as she seemed to
be uneasy if not close to the door. By
this limb out- curiosity knew 310 bounds.
We saw the poor girl was demented, and
approaching the gentleman we apologized
for addressing . hihi, but offered as an
apology our curiosity. He did not seem
offended, and politely told us the follow
ing sad, sad story:
"I live in Lexington, Ky. Thai poor
girl is an orphan and my niece. She has
lived w ith nie altout five years, since her
parents' death. Two years a ro a young
man came to our town from Baltimore.
He was good-looking, well-educated and
brought letters of introduction from prom
inent business men in this city to several
of our best citizens; lie soon obtained an
entree to our best society. My niece was
attending school, ami one of her compan
ions was the daughter of a gentleman to
whom this yount man had letters; she in
troduced them and he at once became
their cavalier. For a long time he paid
her every attention and last winter thy
were engaged; she loved this man with
all the fervor of a true woman's heart, and
would watch for his coming with the
greatest eagerness. Soon alter their en
gagement his visits became less frequent,
and he was not as fervent in his manner,
and seemed in no hurry to consummnte
their marriage. Edna, my niece, madetio
complaint, but I soon noticed a great
change taking place; thai bringing, wistful
look came intoher eyes, and at thcslightcst
sound at the door, or a footstep, shewtmld
start involuntarily; finally he ceased
coming, and one bight as we were at tea
my niece took up the paper. She had
been reading but a moment when I heard
a shriek. Looking up, I saw that she had
lain toil and fallen to the floor. I rang the
liell for the servant and she was carried to
her room, and for weeks she hung be
tween life and death with an attack of brain
fever. She recovered, but alas! the light
of reason had fled from those licautiful
eyes. The paper I picked up when she
fell, and 011 searching for the causeof her
emotion found the marriage notice of this
young man to the schoolmate of Edna,
who had introduced them. I am now on
mr way to the South, in hopes that travel
and chunge of scene may bring back to
the poor girl the possession of her mind.
But I say to you, sir, that if there is such
a thing as a judgment hereafter, that man
will have a fearful score against him.
"Edna is rational in everything but this
idea, that he is still coming, and she must
be always waiting for him. A door can
not open but she is there to welcome him,
and each time to lie disappointed." The
whistle of the coming locomotive was then
heard, and as we rose to depart we hade
adieu to the gentlemen and expressed a
hope that time would effect a cure for his
niece. The last we saw of them was the
poor girl crying bitterly, and we have
never been ab.2 to .shake off the feeling of
sadness that conies over us at thoughts of
her, or banish that sad. pleading, mourn
ful face from our memory and dreams.

Taking Toll.
A gentleman of an autobiographical
turn relates how he was instructed in the
custom of taking toll by a sprightly widow
during a moonlight sleigh-ride "with a
merry party, lie" says:
The lovely Widow L. sat in the same
sleigh and under the same robe with me.
44 Oh! oh t don't, don't!" she exclaimed
as we came to Uie tirst bridge, at the same
time catching me by the arm and turning
her veiled face toward me, while her lit
tle eyts twinkled through the moon
light. " Don't what?" I asked. " I'm not do
ing anything!"
44 Well, but I thought you were going
to take toll," replied" Uie widow.
"Toll!" I rejoined. 44 What's that?"
44 Well, I declare!" cried the widow, her
clear laugh ringing out alxive the music
of the bells, "you pretend you don't kuow
what toll is!"
''Indeed I don't, then," I said, laugh
ing; 44 explain, if you please."
44 You never heard, then," said the
widow, most provokingly 14 you never
heard that when we are on a sleigh-ride
the gentlemen always that is, sometimes
when they cross a bridge claim a kiss
and call it toll. But I never pay it!"
I said that I never heard of "it la-fore;
but when we came to the next bridge I
claimed the toll, and the widow's strug
gles to hold the veil over her face were
not enough to tear it. At last the veil was
removed, her round, rosy f;iee was turned
directly toward mine, and in the clear
light of a frosty moon toll was taken, for
the first time in my exjerience. Soon we
came to a long bridge, with several arches;
the widow said it was no use to resist a
man who would nave his own w ay, so she
paid the toll without a murmur.
" But you won't take toll for every arch,
will you ?" she said, so archly that 1 could
not fail to exact all my dues; and that was
the beginning of my courtship. Litera

How many horses sutler hy the want
of attention to the axles of carts and wag
ons. We olten see the wheels running at
an angle ten or fifteen degrees "out of
true," the teamster seeming not to realize
how much this increases the burden. If
the wheel will only revolve, it seems all
that is needed by the thoughtless driver.
Then, again, want of care in greasing the
wheels is another source of unneceisa
ry labor for the horses. It is only fair
that while we require reasonable labor
from our animals we shall grant them
reasonable facilities for doing it. Kx-cJutn'jc.

Whether hogs require sulphur as an
essential to their health, or whether it is
sought by them as a condiment, may not
be discovered. But one thing is true:
they devour it with greed whenever it is
found. It is for this purpose that they eat
large quantities of soft coal, which con
tains a large amount of sulphur. Per
haps this is th uiost economical method
of supplying hfctgs with slllp'hur during
the winter, when they require a good deal
of carbon. But in summer it is best to feed
it to them in substances which contain
lesscarbon, on account of their producing
less heat. Mustard is one of the best
things for this purpose, and some of it
should be sown in every pasture into
which hogs are turned. If hogs are kept
in small yards it is weil to supply them
with the wild mustard Uiat grows in the
fields or highways, or to cultivate some
of the better varieties for them. They
will eat its leaves, its llfwers, sees and
stalks. Home Journal.

Totatoes as Food for Stoek.
Potatoes, in many localities distant
from market are this season sd abundant
and cheap that they can only be used to
advantage for feeding out to stock. It is
true that certain agricultural writers have
of late endeavored to show that this valu
able tuber was ol little or no value for
such purposes, but it is very probable tnat
the gentlemen who advance such theories
are not practical Hgriculturista. The value
of the potato as food for man and many
of our domestic aiiiinals is too wfell known
td be discarded at this late day in conse
quence of anything which may be written
by theoretical chemists dr agriculturists.
But while the jwitato has been a bone Of
contention among agriculturists tor many
years, its practical and specific value as
food for stock has never lieen disproved
when ptit to the test. The celebrated
veterinarian, William Youatt, in speaking
of the value of the various kinds of rootx.
as food for stock, says of the potato:
44 Among the various vegetable produc
tions that have 1m -en appropriated to the
stall-feeding of cattle none have occa
sioned greater discussion than potatoes.
They furnish an excellent supply, particu
larly when cut and steamed, aud appear
adequate lo the fattening of neat cattle in
combination with comparatively small
portions of other food." In the eleventh
volume of the British "Annals of
Agriculture" we find some state
ments from Mr. Campbell, of Charl
ton, England, which bear directly
upon this question. He observes that 100
bushels of potatoes and 700 pounds of hay
are generally sufticient to fatten any ani
mal that thrives tolerably well. They
should at first be given in small quanti
ties and gradually increased to one or two
bushels per day ; dry food being always
intermixed, and the proportion of hay lie
ing uniformly regulated by the effect
which the potatoes produce on the lowels.
The ha' should alwaj-s be cut in order
that it may be more readily mixed w ith
the potatoes.
We might give almost any amount of
testimony from practical farmers and
stock-raisers to corroborate the above, but
think it entirety unnecessary, as it is quite
likely that a majority of our readers know
from experience that potatoes are valua
ble llxxl for stock. At the present price
of beef, cheese, butter or pork, we think
our farmers would do better to feed out
their potatoes ihan to sell them at twenty
cents per bushel and less, prices at which
they have been sold in many localities
this season. Potatoes are too heavy and
bulky a crop to send to a distant market,
but they are readily turned into beef,
cheese or butter, and in these forms the
cost of transportation is greatly reduced.

Green Wood vs. Seasoned Fuel.
Eveky teamster who has ever handled
green cord wood does not need to be told
that every billet is full of sap or water.
Timber three feet iu diameter will have a
cord of solid wood in every eighteen feet,
and if thirty-six feet long w ill weigh above
five tons. Hence it will be perceived that
a cord of green wood must form a load of
nearly two tons in weight, and he will,
probably, conclude that his team has a
much greater load than is commonly sup
posed. It is also obvious that in draw ing
green wood the farmer must load and
transport three barrels of water in every
cord, or sixty barrels in. twenty cords,
allowing that wood as commonly seasoned
in a sum met' has lost only two-thirds ot its
water. In drawing 100 cords of such dry
wood there will lie a saving, in loading
and transporting, of 200 barrels of water.
A barrel of water contains about five
cubic feet and weighs more than 300
pounds. In the combustion of twenty
cords of green wood sixty barrels of wa
ter must be evaporated. Now, it. takes
six times as much heat to evaporate a
pyund of water as to heat a pound from
fifty degrees of temperature to the boiling
jioint. To ascertain the caloric lost we
must find the weight of water in a cord ot
wood. In his careful experiments on the
combustion of wood Count Rumford
proved that a cord of dry beech weighs
aliout 2,800 pounds, which must be three
fourths ot the weight of the green beech ;
that is, a cord of green beech must weigh
3,700 pounds or, taking the mean lietween
one-third and one-fourth, must be more
than 4.000 pounds, ln burning a cord of
green leech at least 1,(MK) ounds of water
must be evapora'ed, and 1,000 pounds ot
water would fill three barrels of thirty-two.
ale gallons, or nearly two hogsheads of
sixty-three gallons wine measure. The
quantity of c;doric lost in this wav ma)
le est filiated in a rough way fiy the
quantity of w ood consumed m evaporat
ing three barrels or nearly two hogsheads
of water.
Some years ago a chemist ascertained
Uie weight lost by wood in drying or
seasoning. For this purpose he weighed
green rock maple and beech taken from
the sapwood aud from Uie heartwood,
and from boill together, and dried Uie
specimens Carefully iff a wafm otea, bo
as td be more free from" water thatf cotfl
mon wood a5 Ordinarily seasoned. The'
loss was from one-fourth W bnb-thlrd tit
the weight. This loss wad tfatefv li" the
wood is burned while green this waief
must be evaporated and thrown into the
atmosphere, and a considerable quantity
of the caloric or heat produced by the
combustion of the wood! must lie in this
way carried off, and be of no nse in heat
ing or warming. The economy in using
dry wood is well understood by many.
These yics glTe adequate reasons for
it. Yet many 1 afnjcTS do not Use proper
care iri drying arid. hqtisifJ their" fuel.
Some even contend that it is rffoffe
economical to provide (not to burn) green
wood than dry, as Uie domestics cannot
manage to consume so large a quantity
ot green fuel as they would burn if it
were dry as tinder. It must tc admitted
that there is more than a shadow of
reasoning and sound sense in such a dec
laratlon. " AStitvl?' in A'. Y. Uerald.
