Fattcning Turxies.

A writer ir the Germantown Telegraph,
furnishes that journal with the following
statement:
Much has been published Of late in our
agricultural journals in relation to the ali:
mentary properties of charcoal. 1t has been
repeatedly asserted that fowl may be fatten-
ed on it without any other food, and that
too in shorter time than on the most nu.
tricions grains. Il made an experiment, and
must say that the result surprised me, as
had always been skeptical. Four turkeys
were confined ina pen, and fed on meal
boiled potatoes and oats. Four others ol
the same brood were also at the same time
confined in another pen, and fed upon the
articles, but with one pint Of finely pulv er
lied charcoal mixed with their meal and
potatoes.
They also had plentiful supply Of broker
charcoal in their pen. The eight were killed
on the same day, when there was differenc,
of one and half pounds each, in favor o
the fowls which had been supplied with tn,
charcoal, they being much the fattcst ant
the meat greatly superior in point of tender
ness and flavor.

Remarkable lakes.

On the top of ridge of mountains in
Portugal, called Estella, are two lakes OF
great extent and depth, especially one OF
them, which is said to be unfathomable- -
What is chiefly remarkable in them is, that
they are calm when the sea is calm, and
rough when that is stormy. 1t is, therefore,
probable that they have subterranean
communication with the ocean and this
seems to be confirmed by pieces Of ships
they throw up, though almost forty miles
from the sea-
There is another extraordinary lake in
this country, which, before storm is said
to make frightful rumblins noise, that may
be heard at distance of several miles.
And we are told of pool or fountain,
called ''Fervencial," about thirty-four miles
from Coimbra, that absorbs not only wood,
but the lightest bodies thrown into it, such
as cork, straw, feathers, ETC., which sink
and are never seen again.
To these we add remarkable spring neal
E>tromos, which petriics wood, or rather
encrusts it with case Of stone but the
most remarkable circumstance is, that in
summer it throws up water enough to turn
several mills, and in winter is perfectly dry

A Dare DEVILS Idea of aa EgnO-
bic Death.

A political speaker recently related an
anecdote in which re said he had been in
the Florida wars chasing the Indians some
years before, and among his scompaniops was
a daredevil sort of fellow who seemed
careless of his one life as if he had dozen
more of them in his pocket. He had been
hacked, cut, stabbed and shot, in all possible
and impossible places, and his life despaired
Of frequently all of this he had borne with
phiosophic indifference. One day he was
tremendously kicked by a tremendous
iackass, and this time death was inevitable.
His companions gathered around him and
one was selected to give him the painful in
teligence that he must die. To the surprise
of all the reckless, fearless soldier burst into
tears.
This was unexpected, as no one had ever
associated him with fear of death, and sur
prise and ill-concealed solaierly contempt
appeared on the faces of his companions
Seeing this, he drew up his shattered arms
and lifted his head and said
ats not that boys it's not the fear Of
dying, though that isn't pleasant, but to
think that after all the high grand old chan
ces o dying have had, and lost, jest to be
kicked to death by dodderncd yce-hawing
laundering old cuss OF . jaekass.

Lodging Under Difficulties.

The following is the experience of a trav-
eler at one fthe hotels in Albany, N. Y,
as described in the Mercury's Cos slippers S
Club :, ...
Arriving late one night, during the last
summer, at the goody city of Albany, tired
and exhausted, he FASTENED to his hotel and
as a particular favor, he requested good,
comfortable and convenient quarters, which
he was told he should have The polite
clerk, after attending to the wants of the nu-
mcrous guests, started our friend, with an
attendant, in search of his room, which
proved to be up many flights of stairs, thro'
a long and winding passage way, going from
one wing to another, and from right to left,
till our hero arrived at room No. 107. He
occupied but little time over his evening de-
vo.ions. He retired at once but not to
sleep. The truth must be told, startling as
it is-the bugs were too numerous, too strong
and verocious to permit him to re It in peace
So rcsuming his garments, he made for the
office, in no very amiable frame of mind, and
addressing the clerk, the following conver.
sation ensued
Strangcr-Say have you good strong
porter about the house
Clerk eagerly )-Yes we have the
strongest one in the State.
Stranger--Is he intelligent (?
Clerk-Oh, yes--qute intelligent for a
porter, we think
Stranger.-One point more. Do you think
him fearless-that is, bold, courageous
Clerk. AS for that matter, know he is
he would not be afraid of the devil himself
Stranger.--Now, Mr.. Clerk, if your por-
ter is intelligent enough to find 107; is fear
less enough to enter, and is strong enough
to get my trunk away from the bed bugs, I
would like to have him bring it down.

A Scrap of History.

There have been IL specific attempts to
defy the authority of the Federal Govern
ment since formation.
The first was in 1882, and was conspira-
cy of some Of the officers of the Federal
army to consolidate the thirteen states into
one, and confer the supreme power on
Washington. - ...
The second was in 1887, called "Shay's
Insurrection," in Massachusetts,. @ II.
The third was in 1894, popularity called
The Whiskey Insurrection of Pennsylvania.
The fourth by Aaron Burr, in 1908.
The fifth instance was in 1914, by the
Hartford Convention Fedcralists.
The sixth, or which occasion the different
sections Of the Urion came into collision,
was in 1920, under the administration oi
President Monroe, and occurred on the
question Of the admission of Missouri into
the Udion.
The seventh, was collision between the
Legislature Of Georgia and the General
Government, IN regard to certain lands given
by the latter to the Creek Indians.
The eighth was in 1929, with the Chero
KEGS in Georgia.
The 9th, was the memorable Nullifying
Ordinance of South Carolina in 1882.
The 10th was in 1912, and occurred ir
Rhode Island between the Suffrage Associa

The 18th was in 1856, on the part of ths
Mormons, who resisted the Federal author
tiles.
The 18th, is the attempt on the part o
the South Carolinians.
In all the attempts heretofore made, tht
Government has vindicated its su
premacy, and this must be the result in the
contest now going on between it and th'
Southern traitors, the sooner the people
know it, the better.
