Corn AND HoGs.--From carefully con.
Quoted experiments by different persons
it has been ascertained that one bushel Of
corn will make little over 1O1 pounds Of
pork-gross. Taking The result as a ba-
sis, the following deductions are made
which all our farmers would do well to lay
by for convenient reference-That,
When corn cost 121 cents per bushel
pork cost i cts. per pound.
When corn cost 17c. per bushcl, pork
cost &c. per pound.
When corn costs 25c. per bushel, pork
costs Be. per pound.
When corn costs 33c, per bvsheI, pork
costs 4c, per pound.
When corn costs soc, per bushel, pork
costs &c. per pound. ..a 3,
The following statements show what the
farmer realizes for his corn when sold in
the form of pork: t,.,.
When pork sells for Be. per pound, il
brings Zoe. per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 40. per pound, il
brings BE. per bushel in corn. ..
When pork sells for 90. per pound, il
bring 45c. per bushel in corn.

A VIRGINIA LAWYER GOES TO LOOK FOR
PoTAToEs The Weston Herald contains
the following communication ler.
OLARKsBURa, August 20, 1857.
MEssRs. EDITORS: Being fully convinc-
ed that the practice of law is Improbable
in this State, have determined to emf
CRATE to the West. Ny reason for making
the change is this: | am passionately fond
of potatoes, great big roasters, and know
ing from a recent trip that they grow larg-
er and mealier in the West, have de-
tormined to go to that glorious land of
"tater vines. !" l go-not that love Vir-
ginia less, but that | love potatoes more
and, in the language of the poet, l can
truly sing
There's not In this wide world country SO sweet
As the West, with its 'taters and bufalo-meati
The craving Of appetite indeed must depart,
Ere the love of those "goOd things" shall fade from
my heart

AN IDLE WINTER The list of the
manufacturing establishments in New Eng
fand which have been stopped altogether,
by the want of demand for American
fabrics, or arc working only on alternate
days or on half or quarter time each day,
is becoming fearfully large. The great
mill Of the Blackstone Company and the
extensive works at Londsdale are now ad
ded to it. Among those which have quite
recently adopted the policy, SO disastrous
to labor, or have declared their necessity
to do so, are the Quinnbaugh, the Saun-
ders, the Whitinyille, Hamlet, Mauchaug,
Wauregan, Sutton's, Fenner's, Brand s
Iron Works, Centreville, Sherman's, H. g.
S. B. Chase's, Jerauld's, and the mills at
Central Falls.
The stoppage Of these works, is the
'stoppage of food and clothing and fuel to
thousands and thousands of people, thro'
the channel of the only industry in which
they are skilled. The stoppage, too, is on
the edge of along and cruel winter. What
suffering there is in store for American la
Dor, all can divine. n
No policy could have ayerted SO much
Of the existing monetary pressure as is
due to bad investments in improbable and
unfinished railroads and speculative pur-
chases of land in the extreme West. But
good government would have made it un-
necessary to close the manufacturing es-
adjustments of our country at this unpro-
pitious moment IF our revenue system
had been framed to foster and protect
American labor, instead Of that of Europe,
our working men and women would not
now be standing idfe, meditating upon a
coming winter Of unemployed time.-Al.

Correspondence Of The Washington Star.
UNITED STATES SHIP ST.. LOUIS,
Carr PALsAs, March 3, 1897.
We left Porto Praya Isle of ST. Jago, the 9Th OF
February, and arrived here on the 2Oth. we were
ordered down here in consequence OF some dcultles
between the colonsts and natives at THIS point.
When we arrived we found that the natives, who
had little town on the Cape in close proximity TO the
coonists had become very annoying TO the colonss,
and the Governor told them they must remove, out
they refused Some time in January Indignation
came othe Governor that the natives were making
arrangements for outbreak aud attack the colo
nists. The Governor sent for the chief or head man
and questioned him in relation to the matter. Inc
chief admitted that II but would rather mol an
ewcr any more questions about H. In lew
DAYS after this interview the Governor Is.
sued proclamation ordering the chiefs or head
men 10 appear before him but they did not come. lie
then seized upon their boats in order to make them
come but they still refused. He then issued another
order telling them that if they did not and have
palaver Tor talk he would burn their towns down
They still refused The Governor then hred iew
rounds of grape into their towns and set them on re
The natives retreated into the country and assembled
at a lake about five miles from the Cape, where they
commenced fortifying themselves. The Governor then
sent boat with a six-ponnd field piece and 3V men
surprising that if they could enter the lake they would
drive the natives of; but in this they were di.ap-
pointed for the first time the coonists fired the field
piece the boat bursed asundcr the field piece sunk 10
the bottom and 20 of the 80 men drowned the Others
were killed by the natives. The colOnists. now num-
bering only about 90 fighting men aud the native.
0OO becoming alarmed, sent to Monrovia for assist
ance. EX-President Roberts and two other commits
soners TO heirrcelwith 100 volunteers from
Monroyia but the natives still refused TO come IN and
have palGyCr, until the ~. Louis arrived when they
immediately sent word that they were ready aud
willing TO come in and have talk. Capt. Livingto
went on shore and met both bartes, aud after good
deal of palaverng the matter finally settled to the
satisfaction of both parties, and treaty entered
into by which both sides agree TO pay each other for
all the damage done. The natives have another town,
or land to build town on and il is hoped there will
be no more difficulties with the cOOnists in the future
The Dolphin came down here also but arrived after
the difficulty was settled. We both leave here in
day two, the Dolphin 20 down the coast, and We

wooden rails at top and bottom, are better but they

do not believe these can ever become general. AS to
