Facts A50at tie Mississippi Hew-
sons new book ON Leveeng gives many
interesting facts about this great river
Some OF the most prominent are the fol.
lowing:
The average fall of the Mississippi riv.
er, for the whole distance from the Gult
OF Mexico to the confluence of the Ohio at
Cairo, during low water, is very nearly
three inches to the mile.
Duringa food, the Mississippi rises At
Cairo fifty feet; at Friars Point. forty.
two and a half feet; at New Orleans
twelve feet. The average fall per mile is
then, three and half inches.
AT Cairo the Mississippi is upwards of
mile wide; at New Orleans its width il
but half a mile. This narrowing of the
down stream is accompanied by cores
rapidly and deepnine.
The observations of engineers has es.
tabllshed the fact that inferior streams
running into a main river neither widen or
rase 1T; they quicken the current and dee.
pin the channel.
The retention of flood water within tba
ordinary channel by levees, will have sim
lar eifects-the depth ofihe river will he
increased, the velocity of the stream will
oe more rapid, bu. there will not be as a
tsrect consequence, any elevation of the

Fearful Accident-A bog carried orer

Fearful Accident.-A bog carried orer
the Fails y' Niagara.-A New York pat

We learn from the railroad men that an
adopted son OF Mr.. Gibbs, foreman in the
Niagara Falls Paper Mill, was taken over
the cataract on Saturday afternoon last.
The victim was promising little boy
about eleven years Of aye, and general
tayorlt with all who knew him.
The Niagara Paper Mil Is situated on
Bath Island, between Goal island and fine
main land, and the machinery is driven
by water power.
On Saturday afternoon a number OF
men were engaged clearing away the ice
which INSTRUCTED the flow of water in the
race, and Mr.. Gibbs boy was PLAYING
about the vicinity. In one place the race
Is spaned by narrow toot-bridre of
plank, destitute of d railing or other pro-
lection on either side and somehow. in
crossing this, he lost his balance and fell
into the water The current was very
strong, and in an instant the child was
carried out through the hulkhead at tine
tall end OF The race ana preciptud some
ten feet into the toaming food short dis

islands.
The rapids were fill of floating blocks
OF lee, and mingled with these the poor
little fellow was carried down the stream.
Help could not be afforded, and the hor.
rliled spectators watched him till he was
lost to sight. He was observed to raise
his hand once, as if to remove something
from his face, and that Was all. The dis. /
lance from the race to the fall cannot be
much over fifty rods, and the fatal lean
was not long delayed. Its not probable
that any vestlge vii! ever be discovered

beneath the falls seldom returns to band
anything committed to its mysterious
depths.

NUMBER 81
Bedding for Cattle,

The Importance ofthis is conceded for tie
horse, and most humane owners provide
straw or refuse hay to put the nag at ease
when he lies down in his stable. 1t is quite
as important for all the rumlnant animals
that we have domesticated. Instinct prompts
them to seek the dryest, warmest spot in the
pasture for their repose, and Nature spreads
for them the soft green turf, quite as much
for their rest, as for their sustenance. The
wise farmer will profit by Natures hint, and
when he stables his cattle for the Winter.
will provide dry warm beds.
Bedding favors the accumulation of fat
and muscle, by helping to retain the animal
heat, and promoting quiet and comfort. It
for the same reasons. Any one can satisfy
himself on this point, by experimenting with
cow week in well bedded stable. and .
second week upon the bare ground in the
barn yard Cows in milk are kept much
cleaner with good bed, and this is an item
of prime Importance, with all who love clean
milk. Quite variety of substances are used
for bedding. Straw and hay are the most
common, as they are the most convenient.
especially to farmers who raise grain large
/ ly, or who have a good deal Of swamp land,
yielding poor hay.
| In cities and villages, they arc often too
costly, and this has led to various substtu-
ties, some Of them quite as good as straw and
having this advantage, that they add very
much to the manure heap. Dry saw-dust,
from saw and single mills, and the fine
chips and shavings from planning mills, all
make good bedding. Spent tan bark, when
dried in the sun, also serves the same pur-
pose, and makes much more valuable ma
nure. Eelgrass is also much used for this
purpose, by the sea shore farmers, and an
swers well. Leaves from the forest, espe-
cially those Of hard wood trees. make a still
better bed, and form one of the best com-
posts for the garden or field.
Dried turf from salt marsh, i, on the
| whole, the best bedding we have ever used
in our stable 1t is cut in Summerin blocks
of about cubic foot each, dried in the sun
few weeks, and then stored under cover tor
use. It is very light, spongy. and absorbs,
urine better than any thing we have ever
tried. A layer of it Under horse will last
about two weeks before it is saturated. 1t
is then thrown into the barn cellar, to un-
dergo fermentation. o..
One great aadvntage of this, and the saw
dust and tan bark, is, that they put the an
imal heat of the stock to an economic use.
1t promotes the decomposition of the vege-
table matter, and swells the manure heap
very rapidly. ,.os...
Any one or all Of these materials are ex-
ceedingly valuable in the stable. and the
stock owner should use them as largely as
possible, for the purpose Of increasing his
stock of fertilizers. Exchange.

The Mothers Of the South.

The mothers of the South!
In the lurid morn Of battle,
When from the cannon's mouth
Came the thunder's deadly rattle;
Their fair and fragile forms
Shrank not, in terror, from us,
But-rainbows on the storms
Still gave us freedoms promise!
Then pledge tonight their memories bright,
Our noble Southern mothers!
Who in the strife-maid, matron, wife
Stood by their sons andabrothers.
On Camden's fatal plain,
At Eutaw and Savannah,
The star of freedoms train
Was beauty's woven banner
Throughout the n light of woe,
The flag was still respondent,
And many a son fell low
To keep it's folds ascendant!
Then pledge tonight their memories bright,
Onr noble Southern mothers!
Who in the strife-maid, matron, wife
Stood by their snr,s and brothers!
Oh, yes we'll keep their names
Embalmed in song and story,
Those lion-hearted danes,
Who Graded freed ms glory;
And should the strife of war
Fer tinge again our waters,
Well find our hearts to cheer
Those matrons in their daughters!
Then pledge tonight their, memories bright,
