It is a fact as well established as that the world revolves on its axis, that nicely baked chicken pie, in large and fre quent doses, is essential to many a darkey's happiness. If the honot ones have not enough of Spinner's autographs to get the chief ingredient honestly, they first discover a densely populated hen roost, provide themselves with a box of matches (liberally tipped with sulphur), und after bribing the dogs about the place with a nice piece of beef, spiced with strychnine, sally forth for a raid, about the time when church yards even grow sleepy and yawn. This trait of character is so well defined that to pre sent any opposition to its free exercise almost amounts to a violation of that part of the Constitution which guaran tees protection to every man in the pur suit ofhappiness. It is even said that the late lamented Sumner at one time contemplated presenting a bill in Con gress, supplementary to the Civil Rights bill, which should make it a crime pun ishable with imprisonment for a man to keep a shotgun who was engaged in the poultry business. But, alas! he died be fore his mission was fulfilled, and this fair land transformed Into an Eden for chicken lifters. No city in the country has suffered more from this class of vag abonds titan 3Iemphis, but, thanks to Frencli ingenuity, a panacea for the growing evil has been discovered, and its name is "tie torpedo chicken." This little machit! is as near a chicken as human skill can make it. It is covered with feathers, with perfect head, legs and wings. It is soft to the touch, and the legs and wings are flexiblo andean be moved and placed In positions simi lur to those of a genuine chicken, and when set upon a perch the deception can not oe discovered even by an expert. Like other chickens, too, if a burning match is placed near its nose it topples off the perch, and when it docs it falls with the weight and destructiveness of a bombshell. Inside of tho automaton is placed a torpedo, which explodes if it is taken by tho legs or struck with any force. Hearing of this ingenious ma chine, a Front-street merchant recently ordered a number of them with which to experiment. Some half dozen of them were secretly distributed Friday to per sons who complained of annoyance from chicken thieves, and about the time other chickens seek their roosts they were placed conspicuously in the lien house, and the persons setting them re tired to bed to await results. A widow lady named Mrs. P. Simmons, living in Fort Pickering, who lias been much an noyed, and whose watch dog was poi- soned only a few nignts fincc, was so anxious to know the result of the experi ment that she sat up to await the coming of the visitors. About 1 o'clock she heard some subdued voices outside the fence which surrounds her house, and soon after the scrambling noise made by a person climbing over the fence. Soon tlnre was a fluttering in the hen house, a subdued cackle, and then a noise like the discharge of a heavily loaded gun. An agonized shriek of , pain and retreat ing footsteps told of the success of the machine. The lady, who before was filled with anger and thought only of vengeance on tho thieves who had so frequently taken her chickens, was now filled with alarm and half way regretted having used the torpedo chicken. She did not have the courage to go out doors alone, but called to a neighbor who had been aroused by the report. He accom panied her to tho hen house, where a great noise was being made by the sur viving chickens. Several had been killed and some maimed by the explosion. A search was made for the torpedo chicken, which was finally found among the wreck of poultry. Tho body ot the machine was blown to atoms; but its two legs were found intact, tightly grasped by a huge black hand, which had been literally torn from the arm. Death never held tighter to a dead nigger than did this negro's dead hand grasp those two chicken legs. As before stated, the ne gro raa away as fast as it was possible in his wounded condition, and if any onu finds a negro with a hand freshly shot off, let him inform Chief Athy ot the fact Another negro was brought to grief the same night, by one of the same in struments, in the eastern suburbs. Traces of blood were discovered leading from - the chicken roosts, and it is believed he will be arrested. Thia is, indeed, a great invention, and vastly superior to a trap gun. Its gen eral use will soon rid our city of a large number of chicken thieves who infest it. The inventor, when he dies, should be canonized. Memphis AvalancJu. Wasklagtart White Horses. According to G. W. P. Custb' recol lections, the grooming of Washington's white horses was something surprising. The night before the hsrses were ex pected to be ridden they were covered entirely over with a paste, of which whiting was the principal component part; then the animtls were swathed in body-clothes, and left to sleep upoa clean atraw. In the moraine the composition had become hard, was well rubbed is, and curried and brushed, which process gave to the coats a beautiful glossy and satia-like appearance. The hoofs were thus blacked and polished, the months washed, teeth picked, and cleaaed, aad the leopard-skin housings beiag prop erly adjwted, the white chargers were led rat tor service. Alexaader Mitchell is re-elected ores isleat eTthe Chicago, MUwaakee & St. PaalR.iL Beytesi The Meters FeUr. The London newspapers print copious accounts of the crossing of the Channel on May 29. A brief report of the feat appears in the London Echo. A corres pondent of that journal writing from Folkestone on May 29, says: At a very early hour this morning Folkestone was abnormally excited by the news, which spread with lightning rapidity, that Capt. IJoyton had effected a very successful landing immediately beneath the South Foreland Light house at 2 :30. The fact was announced by the firing of a rocket from the bout of the steamer that had piloted him in bis ad venturous journey, and the loud cheer ing of those on the steamer's deck, as the Captain was taken on board, testified to the general enthusiasm and admira tion for his prowess. The cool deter mination and astonishing powers of en durance which were displayed by Capt IJoyton throughout the journey were subjects of man-el on the part of those who watched hira from the steamer. When he emerged from the water he ex hibited very slight symptoms of distress or fatigue. The temperature of the body taken at once by the medical gentlemen in attendance, showed it to be but one degree in excess of the average tem perature of a man in full health. The only thing of which the Captain com plained was a slight swelling of the wrist, caused by the Incessant labor of paddling, and his face was likewise somewhat sore, due to the action of the sun and salt water during an immersion of nearly twenty-four hours. The steamer arrived at the landing-stage at Folke stone at 4. o'clock, and from iulormation there obtained it appears that the time when Capt. Boyton made most progress was between 0 and 7 yesterday evening, accomplishing in the hour a mile and three-quarters. While off Dover the Wiltshire life-boat .'came alongside, and the officer in charge said he had been instructed by the National Institution in London to meet Capt. Boyton in the vimuuuj, uuu in us name to wish mm a speedy and successful journey. Within half an hour of his arrival in Folkestone Capt. Boyton presented himself at the breakfast table of the Pavilion Hotel, where he was enthusiastically received by a large body of gentlemen who had witnessed his wonderful performance from the steamer. In acknowledgment of the compliment paid him, Capt. Boy ton said : "I think I have fairly and squarely crossed the channel from France to England, and the Channel can, there fore, no longer be said to be master of the situation." He then retired to rest at the Pavilion. Further particulars run as lollows: The course steered during the journey was north-north-east-by-half-cast, and then north-norlh-wcst-by-wesr. The most tedious part ot the journey was the latter portion. The sea was then exceedingly calm, and we knew success was certain, so strong did the swimmer appear, and so sanguine was the steamer's Captain as to the right course we were going. The delay, however, was caused by there being a slack tide, and but little way was made in our progress until tide did come, .and then .at a given signal from Capt. Boyton we bent with no little swiftness for the Fan Bay shore. An in cident worth recording as showing an American's coolness at a moment of supreme excitement took place as the rocket announcing the swimmer's land ing llew upward from the beach. At the moment in question Michael Boyton, the brother of the Captain, was standing on the paddle-box, with eager eyes bent towards the shore. As the signal of sucj cess met Ids sight he raised himself to his full height, and shouted out loudly and calmly to his brother this message: "Come back now. That will do for to night.", The whole time that Capt. Boyton was in the water was twenty-three hours and thirty-eight minutes, i On the first trip it will be rememl)crcd that he remained in the water for fifteen hours. The doctors agree that the patient's pulse at the close being 71 degrees, was in itself a strong proof that his physical condition was not much disturbed by his exertions, and also the fact that his temperature was on this occasion 90 degreesinstead of U7 degrees, as on the last trip, when he was obliged to relinquish his attempt, proved that he was in better health on the last occasion. Thus he has, in a very great measure, established the character and reputation he has claimed, for his life saving dress since its introduction to the notice of the public 'on this side of the water. The part of the Kentish coast where Capt. Boyton came on shore was wild in the extreme. There is from the sea inward a small stretch of rocks and dense seaweeds, and behind rise cliffs averaging in height fully 200 feet. As the rockets ascended announcing his landing, the.birds rushed in flocks from their eyrie nests, and their screams of alarm made hideous discordance in the air. It will be remembered that emigra tion from the Eastern and Middle States to California and the Pacific slope dur ing the past year has been heavy; but it has been overdone, aad the golden dreams of the emigrant on his arrival there have been too ruthlessly dispelled; many of them are now writing home doleful stories as to their experiences there, and are advising their friends of the East, who are thinking of lollowing them, to stay at home if they know whea they are well oft Nothing is so calculated to overthrow oae's coafideace in haman aatmre at the spectacle of a man peulticiag his wifVs throat for the parpose of rcstoriag her voice. '& THE FAKMEK. A Calerew Farmer's Frail. The Petersburg (Va.) Index-Appeal jays that Washington Jones, an industrious colored citizen of Dinwiddie, made on his farm in that county last year the following fine crop, with the assistance of one man, a girl, and a boy, and only one mule to plow: 5,57.1 lbs. tobacco, netting him f 058.18 2 bales cotton 170.00 CO bushels wheat 78.00 70 brls. corn 280.00 5,000 lbs. fodder 50.00 Tops and shucks 25.00 150 lbs. seed corn 4.00 Total 1,205.18 The Hog Crop. The Agricultural Department has sta tistics carefully collected by responsible persons in the seven hog States, which show that in January last there were in those States on the hoof 11,213,800 hogs. They were divided as follows: Indiana 2,070,000 Illinois 2,034,000 Iowa 3,308,200 Missouri 2,082,000 Ohio 1,734,400 Kentucky 1,700,000 Wisconsin 587,800 It is estimated that the returns from other States will make the hog crop for this year over 18,000,000 head. To Purify a Sink. In hot weather it is almost impossible to prevent the sinks becoming foul, un less some chemical preparation Is used. One pound of copperas dissolved in four gallons of water, poured over a sink three or lour times, will completely de stroy the offensive odor. As a disinfect ing agent, to scatter around premises af fected with any unpleasant odor, noth ing is better than a mixture of four parts dry ground plaster of Paris to one part of fine charcoal, by weight. All sorts of glass vessels and other utensils may be effectually purified from offensive smells by rinsing them with charcoal powder, after the grosser impurities have beep scoured off with sand and soap. Small FruitM for the Northwest. The idea is coming to be more aud more favorably received that for much of the Northwest increased attention must be uiven to the culture of grapes, strawberries, raspberries, etc., to secure a supply of fruits with certainty, and with out long waiting. This does not imply discouragement as to ultimate general success in growing the apple, and per haps some varieties of the pear, plum, and cherry. But the faet that with prop er protection in winter a supply of grapes and berries can almost certainly bo se cured each year, places tho culture of these on a basis far more satisfactory than can be claimed lor tree fruits in ex tensive regions in the Northwest. It is compensation for the extra cost and la bor, and for the latter season in the far North, that injury from late spring frosts scarcely ever occurs, and that fruit of most excellent quality is secured with certainty. The (ir&ssCrop must, in any event, be a light one this season. It lacked rain in the spring, and, however much it may get it in June, it cannot be thus brought up to its full average standard. Upland prairie hay, indeed, may, with plenty of moist weath er, produce a full crop; but hay gener ally, as we have before predicted, must undoubtedly be worth more this season, relatively, thau any other crop, unless farmers sow an increased area of millet and Hungarian grass. These may be sown even up to the 1st of July, but we should prefer not to put it off later than the 15th to the 20th of June. IIAT-TEDDEKS. As a rule, this important implement is so little used in hay making in the West that many farmers do not know what tho machine is. We arc led to speak of this from the inquiry of a cor respondent. A hay tedder is a two wheeled imple ment, drawn by a horse, which catches and turns the hay as it is left by the mower, spreading and airing it, thus causing it to cure more easily and quick ly than it otherwise would. It is espe cially valuable in "catching" seasons, often enabling the possessors to get the hay in good condition, that otherwise would be severely injured by rain. That they have not come into use in the West is undoubtedly due to the fact that, at the season of .making hay, the weatheris usually hot and dry, and. consequently the necessity for this implement is not so much felt as in the Atlantic States. In the moist climate of England it is almost indispensable, since it entirely supersedes the turning and shaking out by hand practiced there. We have seen and have raised in Illi nois crops of Hungarian hay so heavy that it conld not be cured on the ground without successive turnings by hand. A tedder would have entirely obviated this difficulty. One machine will turn and stir the hay in the swath about as fast as two mowing machines will cut it. We think the farmer who has from 50 to 100 acres of grass to cut can well afford to own one of these labor-saving ma chines. Chicago Tribune. Dr. Samuel It.
