SwINE.--If you would keep them in
health keep charcoal by them occasional
ly wood ashes, human urine, and pounded
birthstone should be put in their swill, which
should not consist of one kind of food, but
heterogeneous compound. IL little fer
mented so much the better. We have had
forty at time and have found that they
would not thrive so well on hasty pudding
as on good swil. Ifyou feed on meal cook
ed or fermeuted, a few scraps, and refuse
salt fish cooked with it, are wholesome and
valuable ingredient. Grass aud weeds are
cheap, plenty and wholesome, and relish like
green peas.-Mdine CatiUatOr.

Precocity Produccd By Educotion.-We
believe the following belongs to John Neal.
The hot house system of education is do
ing wonders for the youth ofour land. The
boy kicks of his diaper and irock, and
Jumps into calf skin boots aud long tail
coat.
He changes the nipple for the cigar, and
the sugar teat for a qnid of tobacco.
The girl is either baby or a lady She
makes one jump from her nurses arms into
her husbands and Of course is finished.

No man shonld be honored save for what
he is or has done--his station is but cir
cumstance. If "a man has done noble deeds
wise, valiant, selfdenying, benefcient--
then honor him, though he be but some
squalid negro. If he has done nothing of
this sort--if his most notable acts have
shown him selfish, insincere per6dious and
base--then heap no honors on him though
his station be the highest under Heaven
To do otherwise is to teach our Youth to
strive for station rather than Deserts to
teach them that Office is desirable, not as
affording opportunities to do good, but be-
cause it covers good indiscrlminately with
glory. Tribune.

CnpitnI Punishment.


~ "a Treatise on the Necessity of Capital
Punishment, by Jonathan Cogswell, D. D., Pro-
fessor of Ecclesiastical History in tho Theological
Institute of Connecticut" has just been sent u.s.
We cannot in honesty say that our edfcation in its
perusa has been excessive. The author in his
Preface oddly says:
"a proper exposure OF the enormity of the crime o. Muir
der, and exhibition OF its terrible consequences, may
perhaps do much to prevent the commission OF IT. as
similar method Aa, done to preueat Int:mperance !
Of course, when men differ radically and anti
podally with regard to the facts IS well as the
philosophy offs matter, they cannot discuss it with
profit. We had always supposed that the great
and unprecedented success of the Washingtonian
Temperance movement arose from its being car
riea forward upon principles exactly opposite to
those of former Efforts and the opposite Of those
on ,chich tic Punishment Of Death is justifed-
that is, on the principles of kindness and love to
the drunkard and in spirit of pity for his degra-
dation and suffering, rather than adherence of his
sim But we probably are under complete de-
fusion in the premises-indecd, we must be, if our
author is correct.
The argument Of this work is SO rigidly Theolo-
gica even when i, processes to be practical tina,
we could not properly reply to it in secular pa
per. In some cases, it seems to US that the logic
is of circumambent order, as when it quotes
Mchaelis as insisting that Sovereigns ought not
to scruple to hang men when they do not hesitate
to declare War; The answer to this of course de-
MES the virtue Of War and Judicial Killing both
together, unless in absolute sefdefence, which can
not be pretended of an offensive War or the hang
ing of MANI whom Society has alreadyinit power.
Mr. Cogswell's work is not without merritt i,
quite concise but we do not think those who have
heard or read Rev. Mr.. Cheever will find much
that is new, or the old more forcby stated, in this

CASE OF MEneER-The United States Gazette
shows clearly that doubt possibly arise as to
the jurisdiction in the case of Mercer, arrested for
chs murder of Heberton while crossing the Della
ware river at Philadelphia. By a compact made
IN 1888 between the two States it is expressly de-
clared that all capital and other offences, tres.
passes or damages committed on the riper, the
ugidical investigation and determination thereof
shall be exclusively vested in the State chersin
he offender, person charged scith sach cfence,
shall be first apprehendcd, arrested or prosseat-
ed" Mercer, therefore, must be tried in New
Jersey, that State, by tho compact, having excu-
sive jurisdiction in the case.

Now it must be bad law which its own author
proposes to violate even before it is passed. Mr.
Wicklfe here offers to give construction to
Mr. Merrck's bill directly in the teeth of its pro-
visions. Yet we do not object to this .'construc

Dir. Wicklife to be consistent, and give us the
benefit of it, as we'll as Mr.. Graham. The boy
who buys hundred cheap papers to sell each day

benefit of this official lenity as though he took

The Cincinnati Chronicle expresses surprise
at cur estimate Of Oregon, and our desire to see it
an independent country. We are rot surprised
that the Chronicle should take different view,
but our own is unchanged. A vast extent of terri
tory is unfavorable 10 Republican purity. People
vote more from dictation and drill. and less from
knowledge and independent judgement, in a large
than in a small community. They are compelled
to take more on trust.
