Lnfinnitr of the Pic.

The pig is the existing representative
of very ancient race of mammals which
lived and died upon this earth long before
there were Christians to devour, or Jews
to abhor their flesh. The same species
of wild boar that was hunted by our fore
fathers was contemporary with the mann
moth, cave-bear, and the long-haired
rhinoceros. Some persons imagine that
geology deals only with fossil shells or
fishes; but there is vast deal of inte-
rest attached to the geological history of
the predecessors and representatives Of
our domestic animals. We know that the
wild ancestor of our domestic pig was IN
existence before the separation of Eng
land from the continent of Europe; and
that the hunter, had hunters then lived
might have chased the bear through for
ests the site of which is now occupied BY
the waves of the English Channel. Nam
moths, tigers, thinocoeroces perished, but
the wild boar lived, and lives still on the
Continent of Europe, though extinct here

Eattening Swine without Water.

A correspondent OF the Rural Jfe0
Yorker gives his experience in fattening
swine, Cor rather, trying to, on dry corn
without any drink:
"Last fall I saw in the Rural that a
farmer said he had proved by experience
that hogs would fatten faster, and on a
considerable less amount Of corn, without
drink, so / thought / would try the exs

corn for nearly two months without water.
They acted like crazy creatures, and a
common rail fence would not stop them.
They ate but little corn, and ] think dfd

Private Fortunes Of the Aneients


Croesus possessed, in landed property,
a fortune equal to S8,500,000, besides a
large amount of money, slaves and fur
niture, which amounted to an equal sum.
He used to say that a citizen who had
not a sufficient fortune to support an ar
my or a legion, did not deserve the title
of a rich man:
The philosopher Seneca had a fortune
of S17, 800. Tiberious, at his death left
Sll8,625,0O0, which Caligula spent in
SIX months. Vespacian, on ascending
the throne, estimated all the expenses
of the State at S165, 100000. The debt
of Milo amounted to S3,000,000. C@-
sar, before he entered upon any Office,
owed S15,000,0OO, and that of Lucius
Paulus for S15,OOO,OOO; he owed this sum
on the ides of March. and it Eas paid be-
fore the kalends of April; he squander-
ed S735 100000 of the public treasures.
Appius squandered In debauchery S2,-

POuBding Coffee.

I see in exchanges an article stating
that pounded or rolled coffee has flavor
superior to that which is ground. Many
years ago / was told that such was the
case by an old soldier Of Bonaparte's
army, and having both mortar sad mill,
tried it, and came to the decided belief
that pounded coffee was the richest and.
settled the most clearly. The mill simp-
ly cuts the kernels into fine particles, the
FOUNDER crushes them, and allows the es-
sential oil to escape more readily 0hio

Mr.. Quinby, in his lectures at Yale
College, made the following remarks
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-05-06

The american of Saturday, in the course Of its
remarks on the state of affairs here, took occasion
to say:
"Of all the instruments of oppression, none
ought to be more dreaded than those which assume the
form OF law and thus attempt to claim the confidence and
respect of the people, while they accomplish and complete
their suhjugation."
And, speaking of the Legislature it observed:
'They proceeding deliberately to inaugurate mil
itarv despotism the community, and to place the
State OF Maryland under their own exclusive control"
As we have little fear that any instruments OF
oppression" are to be putt operation by one por-
ton of the people of Maryland against the other,
or that the Legislature is in any way likely to es-
tabsh a military despotism, we do not quote
from the american for the purpose of deprecating
the evils it affects to dread. But as its observa-
lions are applicable to despotism which actually
exists and for which the Legislature is not respon-
sible, we would call the American's attention 10
oppressors some of the Indignation which it is so
ready to besoW upon the imaginary tyrants in
Frederick.
Mr.. LINCOLN under the 'form of law is SEEK
ing to accomplish the ''subjugaton" of the South;
and he has established over the State of Maryland
as complete military despotism" as ever has
been known on this continent. In defiance of
the Constitution he has ordered the Army and
Navy to be permanently increased; and without
waiting for such authority even JACKSON was
compelled to ask, he is about to make instant
war upon ten or twelve Southern States. With
out a shadow of right he has seized upon the pub
lie works of this State he has occupied our roads;
he has taken possession Of our towns and of our
Capital and he is about 10 march his armies into
our territory and to hold us in subjection. Mary
land is to-day temporarily conquered province.
But about all this the american has not one word
to say. 1t covers under or approves of the illegal
and aggressive action, the despotism, of the Fed
eral Government, but it has grave fears of the OPP
preston which it thinks is to result from the
efforts of the Legislature to place Maryland in a
position to maintain her dignity and honor.

,,bo, everv avenue of traffic which centres at
this mort has been closed by order of the Federal
Government? This measure would have gone
into effect whether the attack upon the Northern
troops had taken place in our streets or net-for
it is in entire consonance with the military opera
tions which have been undertaken, and with the
spirit which animates those who originally pro-
voked, and who more vehemently advocate the
immediate prosecution of the war Every rail-
way that passes through this State will unques-
tionaby be taken possession of by the Federal
Government as a military necessity and for mill
tary purposes only; and it becomes not only our
merchants, but all other citizens of Maryland, to
make up their minds to this concusion-we are
to have civil war, and the fact of its existence
may be sprung upon us at any moment. Why
then do not our people rise to the level of the
occasion, and recognising the fearful nature Of
the conflict that is impending, prepare, as wise,
and thoughtful, and patriotic men should do, to
meet the issue This is no time to speculate upon
an increase of business by restoring the old ave
nues of communication with the interior. Bust
ness is paralyzed, and will continue so until thi:
quarrel is determined either by the arbtrament O
the sword or by peaceful adjustment, and thu
latter alternative seems no longer possible. 1t il
little short of ridiculous in US to let our talk be
trade when the earth is trembling with the tramp
of opposing armies, and we may hear at any tm
that they have met in the shock of battle

BALTIMORE.
MONDAY, MAY 6, 1861.

By reference to our local items it will be seen
that the Federal troops now in full possession
of the Washing ton Railroad between that city ana
the Relay House. The Government forces VIII
now doubtless advance from the North; and as
Fort McHenry is well armed and garrisoned, Bal
timore is commanded on all sides. The Admins
tration still desires to march its regiments through
this city, and, as it has now the power to do So,
we presume it will speedily avail itself of it.
However Objectionable this proceeding may be to
us, we do most earnestly counsel our citizens to
maintain a peaceful attitude. Whether the Gov
eminent has the right TO occupy our city and
State or not, it is idle to ask and no man of judg
ment or proper feeling would suggest that, under
present circumstances, that question should be VIC
lently tested. No man need forego or change hi
opinions, but a common regard for the welfare
our city imperatively demands that we shall con
form our actions to the dictates of prudence.

The public will, we are sure, be glad to see
that the bill providing for a Board Of Public
Safety has been recommitted, and will, in all
probability, be nc more heard of. Seldom or never
has so ill-advised and loosely drawn a bill been
submitted to our Legislature. As we surmised on
Saturday, the support it received in the Senate
was attributable to the suddenness with which it
was introduced, and TO serious misunderstood
ing on the part of many members in regard to the
whole matter. Under any circumstances it would
have been rejected in the House by large major
ity and the Baltimore delegation would, we learn,
have opposed it with great earnestness and unan-
imity

We learn that an officer of the Army has taken
the rooms in the third story of the building in
which the Patriot office is located, for the purpose
of opening rendezvous. He has consulted the
authorities to know whether their order in regard
to the display of flags applies to Government
buildings or recruiting stations, and has been as
will, therefore, be displayed from the rooms occu-
pied by the Government officers, although no
change has been made in the order heretofore is
sued by the Police Commissioners and approved
by the City Council.
What has induced the Government agent to Sc
lect bis office in such close proximity TO that of the
Patriot is, of course, known only to himself and
the editors of that journal.

GENERAL SCoTT's VIEW OF THE WAR Policy OF
THE ADMINIsrRATIoN.-The Richmond Eraminer of
Thursday gives the substance of conversation
which occurred at Washington on Tuesday last, be-
tween General Scott and well-k known citizen of
Virginia, whose assertions, it says, may be
relied upon. The informant of the Eranainer 1.-THE
gentleman referred toy processes to give nearly the
exact words of the old hero. We quote
He General Scott) spoke freely of the condi-
ton of the country, which he professed to regret.
IL said, however, that che had always recognized
his allegiance due to the United States of Amer
lea, that his course was nearly ended, but that
while he lived he should always fight for the Stars
and Stripes" He went to speak of his having
been ''lately insulted by Richmond FRIEND who
began to read some propositions to him, which he
would not permit him to finish.'' This was under
stood to be proposition to resign his commission
as Commander-in- Chief of the United States Ar
my, and to accept the leadership of the Virginia
forces. General Scott declared "that W lille he did
not profess to speak the policy of the Government
he believed that they would not march an army of
invasion into any of the seeded States, but that
thew would retake Forts Moultre and Sumter and
Harper's Ferry at every cost. They would also
keep open the line of communication between the
Ohio river and the Federal Capital"
A BALTIMORE ARTIST IN PAR1s.-From the notices
of Arts and Artists in the London American of April
10th, 1861, we clip the following:
In a late visit to Paris, we were very much graf
lhed IN paying visit to the atelier of young
American artist, Mr.. Lewis j. Boury, from Bati-
more. Mr.. Boury has magnificent collection of
oil and water-coored original drawings by the best
masters, as well choice variety of steel engra-
wings, and valuable work upon art and art sub
lects. he has made speciality in his paintings of
american subjects and American scenery. For
many years Mr.. Boury has quietly been engaged in
h;assterlng the most interesting incidents in the
s'9ry OF his country, as well as the peculiar le-
genus ana associations pertaining to the native In
