The Largest Man in the World.

A number of years ago the Nash

which was not generally credited at
the time. The Editor, in a late num-
Der Of the paper revives the story, and
claims that he a substantiate it by
hundreds Of responsible citizens in
Henderson County, Tenn. The sub
stance OF the original article is Civ
en- as follows:
Mr.. Darden was, beyond all ques-
ton, the largest man in the world,
at least since the days when there
were giants in the land. His height
was seven feet and six inchcs-twe
inches higher than Porter, the Ken
lucky giant. His weight was a
fraction W. one thousand pounds.
He measured around the waist six
feet and four inches, and it took one
hundred feet of plank to make his
coffin. He was So years old when
he died, full of humor and possessed
of fine sense though very sensitive
on the subject of corpulency. We
knew Mr.. Darden fifteen years be-
fore his death. He then weighed
only four hundred pounds, but con
tinued to increase as he grew older

To be Ratified.

Governor CURTIN, of Pennsylvan-
ia. has addressed q circular letter to
the Governors of all the loyal States,
suggesting the propriety of union in
action in calling together their Leg

derstood that such uniform action

j%ournment of Congress, a ratification

i. also stated that the Republican
members of Congress will advise
their respective Governors to call
sessions. of their Legislatures for the
purpose of ratifying the amendment.
The Legislature of New Hampshire
is now in session, and will be the

Plant Corn for your Sheep.

Plant six acres Of corn for each one
hundred. Corn planted throws, four
feet each way, gives in round num-
bers 300 hills to the acre. Six acres
will give 5000 hills. In the FIVE
months, commencing December /
and ending May l, there are ISL days.
If you feed the one hundred sheep
enc hundred hills ofcorn each oftaose
days, you will have LOO hills left.
| generally reckon five and one half
acres, as the sheep will not usually
need one hill each toward the last of
April, and perhaps not quite that
as soon as the LIST of December.
Then again, | usually commence
about themiddle ofNovember to feed
and come on 30 the full feed gradual
ly. If the first of December is cold,
they will want their full feed, as it
is economy the wrong way to let
sheep lose flesh in the commencing
of winter. Falling away then and
subsequently increasing their flesh
will cause the shedding of wool.
Who would have imagined that
twenty.four acres of ground would
winter 400 sheep? Who does not
believed that one hill of good corn is
enough to keep one Spanish Mereno
sheep one day, if it is cut up before
the frost comes, is well cured, and
fed to the sheep, stalks, leaves, husks,

THE Pork SENsATIoN.-We are
constrained to protest against the
sensational stories which are ~circula
ted, evidently by interested parties,
on the subject of disease in pork
The flesh of hogs is not now more Ii
able, or is infected by disease than it
has been for any time during this
generation and when the rumors set
afioat are investigated, it is found
that they are entirely baseless. There
have been ofcourse, and always will
be, instances of disease IN animals of
all kinds, and it has always been con
sidcred, IS every sensible ~housekeep-
er is aware, that pork requires more
thorough cooking than any other
meat; but TO fill the minds ofthe pub.
lie with horror by pen pictures of
worm infected and fatal pork is just
as dishonest as the unquestioning
belief OF the public is foolish. W.
have but to add that if this panic
succeeds in much longer continuance
VIC shall be terrified by others affect
ing cows, sheep, fish, poultry, and al
most every article Of human con
sumption. To our readers we say,
then, do not be afraid of your pork
bucher's counter, only do as you have
been taught to do, cook your joints
and cuts thoroughly through.

Commissioners of the National Mill
tary Asylum for the care of disabled
United States soldiers and seamen,
which has now a fund to its credit
of some $4,000, 900, and constantly

Milwaukee papers stating that if the
" Milwaukee Soldiers Home" would
turn over to the Government the
funds ard lands, amounting to about
500, 600, in their hands, they would
adopt Milwaukee at once as one of
the points for the location of an
Asylum, and undertake the erection
of a building, which would thus re-
lieve the ladies and the State of all
further expense and labor, and af-
ford ample provision for the are of
all Wisconsin soldiers. 1t seems to
us that this is a very advantageous
