tors remarks above, viz: that "the fnd'-
ans IN -Arkunsas eat the green ears as
their every day food" 1t is more proba,
bic that the creatures at least roasted
them, i very easy and obvious process
even for savascs,-and We will add, good
enough, when well done, for Christian
Princes. Indeed Indian Corn. as table
vegetable, is one of the best of American
resources for good dish at short notice.
But when we consider its other uses, as
bread and as food for stock, may we not
indeed bow the knee in thankfulncss to
the Great Giver? If Cotton be Hing, and
Wheat be Queen among the productions
of nature, American Corn is, to say the
least, Prime minister of the Court.
The essay of Professor UScER embraces
a long variety of other articles of human
diet. but We only turned to it fora glance
or Two at the more prominent ones we
have na,lel. 1t may be added that NIL
l.l is tho great African breadstuiI.
There is another fact we would make a
note of: it is, that both the Potatoes,-tho
$50. caflcd) Irish, and the Spcet, are na-
tivcs OF the American Continent. Add
these to Indian Corn, and it may safely
!,c said that the New World has done its
mar, in the economy Of the human Com
missariat.

Turkey Rasing.

As the season is at hand for settrg
turkey hens, let us condcnse from the
Coautry Gentleman some hints on Turkey
Raising.
l. The black and bronze colored are
the hardest, grow fastest and ftten quick
est.
.. Place two or three chicken eggs in
the turkey nest after the hen has been
setting week. They will hatch with the
turkeys aid teach them to peck.
3. Don't give young turkeys pepper.
corn. ale, beer, wine, black pepper, or
any thing OF the sort.
i. Let them alone under the hens wings
for Is or 30 hours after they are hatchcd.
5. Then feed them with hare. boiled
eggs, chopped butnottooline, card, crumbs
of bread soaked in milk, shreds of meat
and liver boiled and minced.
6. As they grow cider, give fine homl-
ny soaked in milk, lettuce, leeks aud the
green of onions.
7. Place the hen and chicks under &
r::omy cuob or pen, in the sun ON the
grass.
S. Feed the mother turkey abundantly
after Matching as well as before; and this
'nr reason that ought to be borne in
mind by all poultry raiscrs. Mark it:
For though she does not give milk, she
gives heat, and let it be observed that as
no person ever yet saw healthy pigs with
u poor SOW. SO no man ever saw healthy
chickens with a poor hcn.'
8. Shield the young from dampncss ard
cold on the one hand, and intense sun.
shine on the other
Such is the substance of the Co",ltry
Gcndeman's advice, and We regard it un-
cxccptionablc in the main. For "curd'
We would say c!abbcr; tor the green OF
onions" We would substitute cschallot
tops; and we would also stick to the time
honored recipe of one grain of black pep
per soon after hatching, merely because
we have kmocn it to do well repeatedly.
But the same cases might have done we'll
without it.-lhere is also plant called
Jerusalem Oak, which answers good
purpose, occasionally chopped up with the
food of young turkeys.
From another authority we derive the
hint, that the gobb!cr running with the
ilcns should be three years old.
We differ with the Z" Gentleman" as to
putting The coob on the grass. With our
heavy morning dcws this lnot do. The
yard barest of grass is in our opinion the
best. But let them run on grass when
not damp.

INSULT TO THE DEAD-The Amador Des-
patch speaks Of an occurrence which recently
happened at Jackson, in the following man
ner:
A proceeding took place in the Methodist
Chapel in Jackson on Sunday last, which we
cannot characterize as having been better
than an outrage. The preacher undertook
to pronounce funeral discourse on the death
of young woman. Her nearest relations
and other friends were present, and the
preacher, in manner evineing any sentiment
but christian, or even common human kind
ness, proceeded TO harrow the feelings Of the
mourners until the mother of the deceased
fell in fit and was carried from the church
Previous to this painful manifestation. seve-
raj of the congregation were so shocked that
they went away hearing as they departed,
the hoarse exclamation of the preacher al
can't help it, | mast tell the truth |" He said
there was scarcely a glimmer of hope that the
sins of the young woman were forgiven that
her friends had no reason for believing that
she had taken place among the redeemed :;
that short time before her death she accept
ed an invitation to attend ball, and oh he
hoped she was not now dancing in the ball
room of hell.

Brady presiding, has decided that in case of
divorce the female side of the house must pay
its own debts from the moment the decree of
dvhrce is rendered. The case is that of Mrs.
Forrest, who resisted payment of claim of
dry goods, amounting to $3.50, on the ground
that she was then the wife of Mr.. Forrest, the
question turning upon the point of appeal
from the decree of divorce still pending. The
court decided that the appeal was only for
