CORN AND COB MEAL NOT IN

tavorably, on grinding corn in the ear as
food for stock. | have been both amused
and disgusted at the recital of stories told
and read by individuals.
have fed corn and cob meal, more or
less, TO horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, in
various forms, at all seasons of the year.
for some six years, and have never seen
any evil effects resulting therefrom. But
on the contrary, have found it to be a sa-
wing OF about one-half of the grain fed in
the ordinary way, and more, if properly
cooked and care be taken in feeding. I
have fattened cattle, hogs and sheep in
half the time | could on whole corn. and
frequently III the coolest weather. when
corn would not more :han keep them in

SCENE OF TERROR.

We have already had som,- account Of
the terrible earthq uakc at Mendoza,
South America, involving the entire de-
struction Of the city, and the lives OF
about 5000 OF the inhabitants. ! letter
letter from Buenos Ayres give Il graphic
description Of the awful scene: -
On the evening Of the 20th OF March,
at s II O'Clock, with d serene sky, and
without any appearance OF a storm, with
the exception OF a heavy atmosphere, tile
earthquake broke forth with a powerful
detonation, burying under the ruins the
1000 houses which the city contained,
and no less than 5000 Of its ill-fated in
habitants. Not house remained stand
ing
Such was the violence OF the first shock.
which lasted from two to three mis.ut~-,
that the earth seemed to have lost It's
equilibrium and when it passed, a wild
mass OF wreck, desolation and woe occu-
pied the site of Mendoza, and gave eyi-
dences Of the fearful throes of matter
which occur when the earth takes breath.
For two days, at intervals, slight trem-
blings were felt.
Many assures were opened in the
earth, but the greater part of them closed
again. After the shock it was noticed
that in many parts, subterraneous waters
had arisen to the surface, but had alone
left yestiges of their presence. For a
league around the city there was not a
wall, not even ruin left standing. Eve
rything erected by man was overthrown
More than five thousand women, with
rent costumes, and hearts lacerated, uni.
ted in the plaza Of the city during that
horrible night, and on their bended knees
raised their voices to heaven, petitionlng
for mercy to Mendoza, and proclaiming
with the most heart-rending expressions
that it was q chastisement of Providence
the women OF that people should be alb
solved, for never had they advocated bar
barity, but had execrated from their souls
the assassins of San Juan.
To add to these horrors of desolatior
and woe. the Gauches from the suburbs
entered the city, and commenced pillag
inc everything which came in their track
loading horses and mules with the plum
der which the earthquake had left to their
rapacious hands.
What remained of the population o
the city retired TO the public park, ant
there formed kind Of encampment-bu
on the 23d ultimo, such was the infection
produced by SO many c0rpses in putrefac
ton, that the governor gave orders tina
all should desert that which once was the
city of Mendoza.

from west to east, from which it is infer
red that it must have been very strong il

terwards In the cavalry, and rose to the
rank of major by 1855. Then he went to
Europe and visited the Crimea, by order
Of the Government, and prepared on
his return a valuable report on the Euro
pean war of that time, the Crimean cam
paign, and the organization of foreign ar

Life IN the army was too dull for his
active, ambitious mind, and he resigned
in 1857, and became vice-president and
active manager of the Illinois Central
Railroad, residing at Chicago. This post
he held till last summer, when he resign

perntendency OF the Ohio and Missis-
sippi railroad, (Cincinnati IL St. LOUISE

promotion. Whatever feeling of this sort

THE YOUNGEST MAJOR GENE
RAJ

If large native talents, joined to thorough
education, and an added opportunity, with
years for the play of all, give assurance of
the growth and distinction of man, Gen
George B. McClelland has the proudest
future before him of any man now upon
the field of active life in America
He is the youngest of the major generals
Of the Federal army, being only 35, and
ranks next to Gen. Scott, who is twice
his age, and perhaps is the youngest man
who ever obtained SO high a position in
our history. His father was of Connecticut
birth, a graduate of Yale College, and an
eminent physician in Philadelphia. The
son graduated at West Point in 1916, at

SHORT GRAVES.

Why do 80 many children die Why
are our cemeteries filled with short
graves Why do more than half Of the
children born never reach the age Of man
hood Is it because God has not made
man as wisely, or as we'll as He made the
OK or the dog Who would think of
raising cattle or horses if five out OF eve
ly ten died before being old enough to
come to the yoke or the harness
There must be some great mistake in
the original organization Of man, or else
some egregious errors in the habits and
training of the human race. There are
several reasons for these early deaths, for
this want OF stamina i'll the constitution
And let it be remarked that it is not
among the poor and ignorant, the hard
working and plain living class, where we
find the greatest intantile mortality. 1t
is with those who are we'll housed and
have plenty of food and raiment and
culture. True, among the poor there
are many deaths from contagious diseas-
es, and occasionally an instance of vast
ing decay; but the ragged, baretooted,
and plainly fed laborer's child Is more Of
ten ruddy, rollicking, heaty and healthy
than the we'll cared for child OF the Opu-
lent. No doubt. extra warm rooms, and
too little out-ot-door exercise sends many
a child to the grave. Candies, rich food,
irritating condiments, and this everlasting
nibbling between meals of cakes and deli
caces, tend to impair the young stomach
and debllitate the nervous system and pro-
duce early death bnt we believe the
prime destroyer Of the children of to-day
is tobacco, tianked on either hand by its
coadJutors, tea and coffee, and in many
instances supplemented with that scourge
of scourges, alcoholic drinks.
9 Boys smoke and chew tobacco. They
think it manly and smart. Thus, in the
years Of growth, they shatter their ner-
vous systems, derange their digestive and
circulatory apparatus, and fail to develop
into that brawny, robust manhood which
nature intended in their organization
They become pale, sallow; lank in cheek
/ and lank in abdomen, weak in the back
and weak in the head, fretful fidgety, ner
vous, and not more than half developed
Many boys of seventeen, when we advis,
them not to smoke, tell us they canno
possibly leave off smoking. They mus
either smoke or chew and they reveal tt
us the amount of their indulgence in thi
respect, which is really alarming.

\ DISAPPOINTED WOMAN "A few
months since gentleman had the misfor-
tune to lose his wife, literary lady OF
some reputation. After grieving for a
number Of weeks a bright thought entered
the head of the widower. He thought
that he could do something to lessen his
sorrow, and for that purpose he called up
Oh lady of his acquaintance, and reques-
ted to speak a word with her in private
Thinking that she was about to receive a
proposal, the lady prepared to listen with
becoming resignation.
'Myrrha, said he with downcast eyes,
as he took her hand, you knew my wife =
Certainly
1t is not good for man to be alone 2

to me her kind consultations, and the

Ho pressed the lady's hand and sighed.
She returned the pressure, and also suf-
tered a sigh to escape her.
My DEAR he said, after a long pause,
I'll come to the point at once. | have a
proposal to make
a proposal:' She bIushed and covered
her face with her hands.
Yes ; l have concluded to write my
wites biography. Now have but little
skill in literary eqercises, and if you will
correct my manuscript, and write the
headings OF the chapters, will give you
fire doAars.
She sprang from his side and her eyes
flashed with anger.
I'll see you hanged first, and then
won't, you-you'
She left the room, not being able to ex-
press her rage. The widower sighed
took his hat and went home. He has not
yet published.
