in the Atlantic States Tie business parts of
the city remind one of parallel localities in
New Y ork, though now, unfortunately, the
signs of business are but few The houses
are of every tint, and the individuality of
the owners is impressed upon wood, brick
and imitation marble. bank, built like a
Doric temple, has, fer its next neighbor, a ri
val in the shape of miniature Moorish pal
ace. The signs are quaint and attractive,
save here and there the inscription Slaves
for sale here"
"HoMoGENEoUs." This awkward word
has come into very fashionable use of late
1t signifies "having the same nature" 1t is
vehemently insisted upon that all the slave
states are homogeneous" Now we would
be glad to know what "homogeneity" there
is between Georgia and Missouri We are
afraid that In the southern cOnfederacy these
Heterogeneous states will be found rather
Heterogeneous" Therefore, in the event of
general disruption of the Union, we incline
to the idea that it may not be inappropriate

TEACHING PICS TO EAT SLow-A corre-
spondent of the New England Farmer says:
pigs should be early taught to eat slowly.
for the advantage of the pig as well as the
owner. Nothing is easier. Give the weaned
pig, at six or eight weeks old--in a clean
trough-half a tea cup of dry shorts or bran,
and after his dry food is all eaten give his
drink, and increase the dry food according to
the age and appetite, till three months old /;
and then add one-half Indian neal till fat
tened sufficiently. This plan has been fol-
lowed for five years with decided success"
THE family of the late DR.. Eagan, of Chi
cago, have recently been made the victims
Of most imperinent and annoying rumor,
which has caused much excitement in that
city and the family much pain. Notices
appeared in several of the papeIs, stating
that the house occupied by the family was
haunted, and Offering IA large reward to any
one who would reside in it, This attracted
large rabble on Sunday last, who were
very offensive in their expressions and could
be dispersed only with difficulty. Measures
will be laken to secure the party guilty of
this contempuble trick.
