He sets on young side-shoots near the bot

close to it as it can be done. He uses bass
wood mating for bandaging the CRAFTS, and
over all some moistened moss. He has had
them to ripen from ten to twelve feet Of

At the recent sheep fair in Ripon, Wis,
Mr.. F. B. Ellsworth exhibited natural
monstrosity in the shape of lamb with
eight legs, two bodies as far as the shoulders
and only one head and neck Had it been
dropped alive, it never could have walked,
for with it's head in the natural position,
its eight legs would be in a horizontal posi-
ton, and if it stood on either set of legs,
its head would be wrong-one eye up and
the other down, and it would have one set
of legs where its back ought to stand.

A New METHOD TO PRESERVE MEAT
Prof. Holman, of Berlin, Germany, dis
closed to a meeting of naturalists a new
method of preserving meats, for which DR.,
Redwood of London obtained patent. 1t
is this: The meat is submerged for a short
time in the tasteless aud oderless parafine,
as it has been manufactured by an i'm
proved method of distillation, made from
the "Bagdad Camel" coal Then the
meat is taken out Of this paraffine, which
becomes hardened. This coating may be
made thick at pleasure by repeated sub
mersions.
When it is desired to prepare such meat
for the table, it is only necessary to put it
into hot water; the parafine will dissolve
and rise to the top of the water and may
again be used for the same purpose. Ac-
cording to accounts of DR.. Redwood and
DR.. Gueneau de Massey, ii works most ad-
mirably. The taste is not injured in the
least. The DIR. placed before this associa-
ton mutton chop enclosed in paraA4ne
and brought to him by the carrier of pat
ents, which had been sent to him from
London a few days ago.-Iranslated from
the German.

French Troous and Mexico.

The doubt and uncertainty that existed as to
che purposes Of the French Emperor in regard
to Mexican affairs, may, we presume, be con-
sidered as diSpelled by the telegram which We
Yesterday published, stating that, in his speech
to the Corps LegiSIdtJ, he announced that the
French troops lcA be 'OithdrGaon iron, HerieO.
This being true, Mexico will be left to deal sin
ele-handed with the United States. In his re-
cent speech, published in the Wing twoOr three
days since, MAXNILIAN speaks boldly and con-
idently of the complete establishment of his
Empire in Mexico, and the suppression of the
reyolutionists. This result, it is clear, is not
desired at Washington. 1t remains to be seen
whether the contest between him and this Gov
ernment is to be one of diplomacy or arms.
la the meantime, the world will take the de-
""oemer.t Of NAPoLEON's Mexican pr9jet as
proof that that sagacious ruler is not incapable
OF what rulers so much dread-blundering.

Probable Effect of Negro Suffrage at the
SOuth.

The full report Of Mr.. STEVENS concluding
speech upon the constitutional amendment
proposed by the Committee Of Fifteen, as it
appears in the Congressional Globe, contains
some declarations not found in the Geographic
reports. This speech is neither argumentatiye
nor eloquent, II is certainly forcible, but il Is
the tOrce of an imperiOus nature aud dog
NAUTICAL will 1t is the force of bitter words that
wither whatever they fall upon. His sarcasms
are not sparks that dazzle with their brilhancy,
but red-hot Goals Of fire that burn through those
upon whom he throws them. His object Was
TO drive this amendment through the House
over all opposition, and to frichten abe timid
and the wavering into the support Of it. He
succeeded, and not cOptOaS with this success.
he left the marks "a his diaboucal malice and
hooking sArSasm upon those OF his pArtv who
refused 20 vote with him.

standing of Mr.. STEVENS views, we extract the
following passage from the official report Of his
speech. Speaking Of the Southern States, ho

Bill Extending the Freedmens Bureau.

BY vote of 1876 yeas, to SO nays, the
House of Representatives, ON Tuesday last,
passed the bill extending the powers of the
Freedmen's Bureau, thus establishing an impe
RUM IL imperiO. This bill provides, or pro-
misses, land, food, clothing and protection for
freedmen, under certain conditions and cir
cumStanceS. There is much reason to appre-
bend that it will exercise most perniciOuS in
auence upon them. All remember the idle
ness and vagrancy caused among them, last
year, by the prevalent belief that it was the
design of the Government to support them
until Christmas, and at Christmas to divide
amongst them the lands of their former owners.
None can forget the sOlicitude Of the officers
OF the Freedmens Bureau to diSabuSe their
minds of these erroneous (so-called) ideas. 1t
was found necessary to send these officers into
all the counties and neighborhoods throughout
the South, and to appeal to the most prominent
and respectable white residents to aid them IN
,he correction of these false notions. All
remember the apprehenSions that were enter
tanned lest a negro outbreak should be the con-
sequence of their disappointment. With much
difficulty the minds of the negroes were diSa-
buscd of these ideas. They became convinced
that they were not to receive lands, food or
clothing, and that they would have 10 go to
work Many OF them gave up their idle and
vagrant habits, and sought and obtained en-
ployment. Now comes this great land, food
and clothing bill, whose provisions they, OF
course, never can understand. 1t is enough for
them to learn that the Congress has voted them
land aud other benefits, in order for them to
take up the idea that they are all to be pro-
yided for, and when this idea shall come to
prevail among them, then farewell forever to
work. The same condition of affairs, only
more intensified, will soon exist that gave so
much trouble before and during the last
Christmas. There is to be no rest for the ne
gro, and less for the Southern whites. This
hill will occasion them another great diSap-
pOintment, which may bc followed by worse
consequences than resulted from their former
disappointment.
Our candid opinion is, that if it were the po-
icy of the majority i'll Congress to ruin the
negro, and secure his ultimate determination
in this country, they could not adopt measures
more certain 10 effect this result than those
they are setting in operation.
