A Bad TaNfn

Although the English have often said
hard things about America and Americans
yet we seriously doubt whether anything has
ever occurred in this country so deserving
of reprobation, the manner in which inte.
lgence of the Czar's death was received in
England. The news by the Atlantic shows
in John Bull" not only want of good taste
but lack of all those generous and mag
unanimous feelings which appear SO noble in
human nature. The Gar died in his palace
of a disease of the lungs, and England went
wild with joy. Worsted in the Crimea, she
exults at an inscrutable act OF Tod, as though
were great uictory. Indeed, spite for
her own blundersng failures. and revenge
towards brave foe, seem to have swayed
the whole country, and an enlightened and
Christian State standing in the foremost
rank of nations, was guilty of such display
of vindictive feeling would have disgraced
a tribe of Indian savages.

Queer victaaIs.

The New York Tribune, of Friday, con-
tains the trial of butcher for selling "pIated
veal" in which some circumstances leaked
out that rather astonished US. Here is the
definition of "plated veal" George Pessin.
ger, the prosecuting witness, says:
| mean by plated veal, putting a piece of
fat pork where the kidneys ought to be; if
the whole of these nine quarters were fried
out, after taking away the pork, enough fat
could not be got out To grease a jack-knife;
butchers call this "bob veal;" have been a
buther for forty years; consider this meat
very unwholesome; it was very young, and
had been starved either here or while it was
being brought here; there was not q particle
OF fat about it, and but very little meat on
the bones, and consider what there was very
unwholesome.
This comes from licensing men to sell
meat that know nothing about il; the name is

thigh OF the pirate Gibbs, who was hung. and
people ate and pronounced them the finest

that it was the flesh of an animal.
This statement about eating round stake
of pirate. appears to have excited little
curiosity in the Court House, and after the
case was over, Pessinger was asked what. he
menat by il. Here is his explanations:
Mr. Pessinger. in an explanation of the
broilng of portion of the flesh of Gibbs said
it was at ii hotel in the Bowery, kept by the
husband Of the woman referred to, at an af-
fair called "tackle," in which every person
participating, contributed some articles OF
food to be prepared for dinner; this place was
a resort for medical students, and the body
of Gibbs having been handed over to the
medical faculty for dissection, wag of a
student conceived the idea of playing off a
joke upon some of the participants at the
"Tackle;" he accordingly procured some sill
ces OF the remains of the pirate, which were
cooked and passed off as the flesh f some
animal; those who partook, pronounced il
most delicious.

highly praised by all who pariook, and it sci

"Dog sassages" is a standing joke, but
from the above it appears that "dog" meat in
some shape is no joke at all.

Plant yourCorn Early.

Fer many years past We have carefully
noted the difference between early and late
planted corn, and our observations have
fairly convinced us that in nine cases out Of
ten, the former has decided preference
but Tor what reason we may not be able
clearly to explain. We incline to the opin
ion, however, that it is something like this
Early planted corn has a chance to strike its
roots deep into the soil, and is thus better
enabled to Withstand a drouth or lack OF
moisture, which usually begins near the sa me
time in the season each year. Or il may be
that he crop having longer time to mature
IN, is able the better TO take advantage OF
everything IN its favor. But whatever may
be the cause, we have no hesitation in recon-
mendng that corn be planted in this latitude
as soon the ground is warm enough to
prOut it.
| 1t might be remarked that should the sea-
son be uniformly favorable, little or no differ
ence might be perceived. Or should Sc.
we're drouth occur just at the caring time OF
an early planted field. the yield might be less
than that of one planted later, but such cases
are not common, and it is easily seen tn at in
the former case there is nothing lost, and in
the latter drouth is about as likely to occur
when late planted field is caring, as at the
caring time of one little earlier.
From our boyhood days we have noticed
that those farmers who were universally look
ed to as the best and most prosperous, plant.
ed their corn early, sometimes finishing in
! April. OF course nobody raised better corn.
Late frosts seldom or never kill early corn;
if they chance to cut it down, it comes again,
the root is not killed. Corn should be plant.
ed by the middle of 9Th month (May,) and
we would prefer that it be done sooner rath.
er than later, if the spring is not unusually
backward.

THE CINCINNATI RIoTs-IMPoRTANr TIES.
TIMoNY.-An investigation of the origin oil
the riots in the Eleventh Ward of Cincinnati ii
has been going on before the coroner Jury.
Several highly respectable witnesses have
been sworn and examined, Their testimony
fully establishes the fact that the violence
all originated with the foreign born popula-
ton, who in the Eleventh Ward, ipsultcd
the Americans without the least provoca,ion
whatever, excluded them forcibly from the
polls, Knocked them down with clubs and
dray.pins, drew deadly weapons on them, and
maitreated them in every concev able man
ner.
No earthly provocation should have in
duced the Americans TO demolsh the ballot
boxes, but it is not strange that such out
RACES as they were subjected to excited them
to the commission o; deeds " hich in moments
of reflection they would have rbhorred-
And after all it was probably quite as great
Il crime on the part of one party to prevent
by physical force the depositing of votes in
the balot-box as it was on the part of the
other to destroy the votes already deposited.

A motion prevailed that all Wings and
Democrats who oppose the Know Nothings,
be requested to meet in Lexington on the
first of May to select candidate to repre-
sent hat district in Congress. So it seems
that the Democracy, who have so much TO
say about principle, who profess to be SO un-
changeable, who have been abusing the
Wings all their lives, and who have always
spoken of coalitions as the most horrible
things in creation, are now perfectly ready
and more than willing to coalesce with the
Wings fer protection against the dreadful
Nothings.
Who doubts that the Democratic leaders
lie another and more formidable party should
arise, would propose next year a coalition
with the Nothings themselves.

Aye-who doubts it, indeed! Power, OF.

Now, it appears, they are actually seeking
