rALriN FArTENING sw fNE

A spondent states some inter-
esting experiments to test the use of
salt in fattening swine. lie selected
two pairs of barrow hogs, weighing one
hundred pounds each. One pair re-
ceived with their daily allowance of
feed two ounces Of salt, the other pair
similarly fed, none. In the course OF a
week, it was easily seen the salted pair
had a much better appetite thar the
others, and after u fortnight it was in
creased two ounces each.
After four months. the weight of tho
sal:ed hogs was three hundred and fif-
ty pounds each, while that of the unsal-
ted, five weeks later, reached only three
hundred pounds. The experiment was
repeated with almost the same result
A correspondent feeds young pigs ac-
cording to their age, a quarter of an
ounce daily ; to breeding sows, very

Although the following passage--ex-

written with no thought of publication,
we think our readers will be Interested
in criticism by one of the fair sex on
the bad fashion of the day

SIDEWALK ETIQUETTE.

One of our Chesterfield exchanges
has the following on sidewalk etiquette,
which we commend to the attention OF
our readers:
"Only villagers, or persons with ru-
raj ideas, any longer contend that Ia
dies should always be given the INSIDE
of the pavement in passing. The fule
adopted in all cities is to turn to the
right, whether the right leads to the
wall or to the gutter; and an observance
of this common sense rule wouid opvi-
ate much unpleasant scrouGing by ever
gallant gentlemen who perslstehtiy
crowd for the outside walk. Another
common custom, not required by iasil'
ionable etiquette, and one which is M
cxplicably absurd, Is the practice OF
whole string of men fling out OF a
church pew, makinR themselves as RI
,diculous rs an awkward squad practie-
inc "a catch step, in order to give Il wo-
man the wrong end OF the pew. An
other is that of a iman, when at prone
made or walk with lady, to keep hIm-
self on the outside of the pavement. "A
little exercise ofjudgment Will convince
any person OF the uselcssness OF TINS
bobbiag back and forth at every corner;
The common rule is this, if man and
woman are walking together, she should
always be at his right arm, whether 1t
he towards the outside or inside OF the
walk. then the woman will not be shoy-
ed against the passers. Those who gig
gle nj persons who follow this rule are
| themselves the greeiies, and should
read the book of manners before they
indulge in the laugh OF fashionable
| fools"

A TALE OF LOVE.

One quiet night in lcafy June, when
bees aud birds were all in tune, TWO
lovers walked beneath the moon. The
niphts-was fair-so was the maid, they
walked and talked beneath the shade,
with none to harmo or make afraid. Her
name was Sue end bis was Jim, and he
was fat and she was slim; he took to her
and she to him. Says Jim to Sue -

oEL1BAcY oE WASHINGTON IRVING.

Instead of beinga ''defect," the celib-
acy of Irving was his crown ofglory.-
Those who have studied his writings
must have been struck with the remark
able transition from.humor to Pithos,
from the broadest fun to the most medt-
tatiye sentiment, which occurs between
the facetlous history of New York and
the Sketch Book. Many. perhaps,
imagine that this is accounted for by his
loss of fortune. Il had its origin in one
of those disappointments OF the heart
which color all the subsequent llfc OF
true man. We trust that now there Is
no want Of delicacy in alluding to the
fact that the subject of lrying's love died
during their betrothal. We have heard
the last interview described by mem-
Der of her family; and to the sacred sor-
row thus engendered is to be ascribed
much that is touching and true III the
sentiment Of Irving's writings to his
fealty to his affection, in no small de-
gree, is owing the sensibility which kept
his heart fresh to { ie last, aid Above
all, that respect tor and sympathy with
the innate and holy sentiments of hui
nnnity, which he SO uniformly cherish
ed and manifested in his letters and in
life.
Nor is thisall. Time might have heal
ed the wound and reconciled the bcreit
to another relation; but there interscn-
ed Il period of disaster which drove the
eldest brother to bankruptcy. For liis
sake aud that of his family OF daugh-
tiers, Washington Irving, continued
single, took them hone, aud became a
father to the children. Beautiful was
tn. mutual devotion; happy their con-
genial household, and Sunnyside is now
bequeathed to them.

THE pRRrTIEsT NEW THINGS.
[FRoM DEMoREsT's MAGAZINE FOR OCTOBER

The latest, and the most elegant of
the mantillas, is novelty which forms
a cape with sleeves, and long rounded
ends both vt the front and back. The
sides are filled in with short pieces,
forming basque shape, but covered
with three narrow tlounces edged with
knotted fringe. The mantle Is trimmed
all round with wide knotted fringe
headed with gimp.
Some new sleeves have been brought
out. One of these is called the Victoria
sleeve. cut quite closely to the arm, and
is only just loose enough at the wrists
to slip over the hand. A putting at the
top, aud also at the wrist, surmounting
vandy kes III silk or velvet, with buttons
in the spaces, constitutes the finishing.
The latest style of high dress waist is
cut out square in front, and high, with
Il slight spring, which throws it out from
throat instead of closing tight, aud sug-
gests the lan-shape of the seventeenth
century.
The new patterns in jewelry are most
eccentric. Ear-rings not unfrequently
touch the shoulder; rings, lockets, and
the like, have notices instead OF the
monogram set in small Srilliants,
In0uSn evening uTesSes are naue
very low in the neck, brides dresses are

s.'rhe mechanic, sir, is Gods nobleman.
What have mechanics not done? Have
they not opened the secret chambers of

ures. and made the ranging billows their
highway, ON which to ride as a tame
steel? Are not the elements OF fire
and water chained to the crank, aud at
the mechanics bidding, compelled to
turn it? Have not mechanics opened
the bowels OF the earth, and made the
products contribute to their wants y
