How FARRAGUT FOUGHT FoR HIS PIGs-
The following was told US by an ancient
mariner few days ago. 1t may have ap-
peared in print, but if it has, it escaped our
notice:
Admiral Farragut was Midsbipman on
the Essex when she was taken contrary to
the laws of war, by the British in Valparaiso
barbor in 1872. The vessel had returned
from trip of discovery among the Pacific
islands, and as man-of-war rules were not as
strict as they are now. the MILDLY had pet
pig which was given him. This the British
Midshipman attempted to seize. Farragut
struggled for his favorite, and the noise at
tracted the attention of the First Lieutenant
of the captor. He was lover of fair play,
and declared that there should be a fight for
the prize and that the winner should keep it.
This was nuts for the Yankee MILDLY, and he
went" for his opponent, cleaned out the
crowd, and carried off his pig in triumph
Though fifty years have passed since that
time, Farragut still manages to secure what
ever prize he fights for. The lesson of the
pig has never been forgotten.-Ldwrenct

SINGULAR SCENE IN CoURT.-Frank Fer.
gusson was tried in the County Court, yes
terday, says the San Francisco Alta of Jan
uary 10th, on an Indictment for highway
robbery in knocking down a miner named
Louis Evans, after cruise around the Bar
barry Coast, and taking from him twenty
seven twenty dollar gold pieces. The jury
found verdict of guilty, and on its being
announced, Ferguson rose and swore with
uplifted hand by the living Redeemer that he
would take the life of every witness who
appeared against him, and that he would
have some of them beaten before morning.
His language was not only horribly bias
phemous, but disgustingly obscene and
shocking to all who heard it. We under
stand that one of the witnesses against him
was assaulted a few evenings since by Fer
gusson's friends, and that he was SO we'll
satisfied that be would attempt to put bis
threats into execution that he Immediately
appealed to the police court to protect him.
Officer Forney accompanied him home last
evening as precaution. 1t is quite prob
able that the Court will take notice of the
threats by Ferguson, and by giving him
the full time of Imprisonment allowed by
law, render it impossible for him carry out
his bloody threats in person for q long series
of wears.

A New steam PIow.


The Standish Steam Plow wac tested at
Martinez last week. The editor of the Min.
ing and Scientific Press, who was present.
says:
I" The plough was set to work upon q hard.
wet, adobe soil, covered with grass-an open
common by the side of the road-which had
been subjected to the tramping of the people
and of cattle ever since the town was settled.
and which had never been disturbed since
the time the whole country round about was
turned over by the upthrow of Mount
Diablo. The admiration of every one was
excited to see the rapid whirling and cutting
OF the knives-which constitute the plow-
cutting, tearing, stirring up and turning
over the conn pact and cohesive adobe soil !:
penetrating below the grass roots and throw.

and fructifyng influences of the atmosphere.
We watched with astonishment the effect
produced by this truly novel instrument.-
Surely the bosom of old mother earth was

ner. Such an upheaving of the soil, such a
throwing, stirring and pell-mell distributing
OF 1T through the twelve foot swarth which
the machine cut, as it locomoted forward,
was never before seen. The superior man
ner in which the work was done was the
admiration of every one. No other plow
ever invented. ever if followed by Il dozen
harrows or other pulverizers, could have SO
completely pulverized and loosened up for
the free admission of air, wind and rain,
that plastic, iatty, adobe soil. We could
compare the machine to nothing but a huge
and most effective sausage cutter. If the
soil had been dry, it must have pulverized it
to the finest dust, and left it ike freshly
made asil-heap. The mechanical details of
the machine are, as yet. far from being per-
fected; although no difficulty whatever is
apprehended in this direction. The success
of the principle, only, was sought at this
trial, and we congratulate the ingenious and
fortunate inventor on the result which he
has attained. Wehave the fullest confidence
that every mechanical defect and deficiency
can be easily overcome.

THE ILLINOIS INSANE AsYLUM-Refere
has two or three times been made in oul
correspondence to alleged barbarities prac.
ticed at the Illinois Insane Asylum. The
committee appointed by the Legislature tc
investigate the charges brought against the
management, as is known, have made q
thorough examination, taking the sworn
testimony OF many witnesses. They have
made report, which appears to sustain fully
the charges made and to call for thorough
reorganization of the management of the in
stitution. We give the following extract
from the report.
The terrible punishment of the cold bath
was inflicted upon delicate female patients.
some of whom died under and in consequence
OF the lnfiiction. The patients were placed
IN bath two-thirds full of water. with
hands and feet tied, and sometimes with the
straight jacket on. Their heads would then
be repeatedly plunged under water, and kept
there till signs of strangulation appeared :
Sometimes the patients were tied and laid
upon their backs and cold water poured on
their faces and mouths. One man, for en-
deavoring to escape, was handcuffed and his
feet shackled, and kept for three months per.
fectly naked in " crib" This .scribp was
sort of open coffin. 1t was made of plank.
about three inches wide and couple of
Inches apart, like a cage-was two feet high,
Elk feet long, and two and half feet wide.
The patient could only lie in one position in
this 7" crib"-upon his back Other patients
were also placed in this horrible bed for lesser
offences than attempts to escape.
Patients have been shut up for months in
winter naked, in "screen roomsf' They
have been Knocked down and left for dead.
They have been dragged, men and women,
,y the heels, fifty or sixty feet to the pun
ishment of the "bath." The female atten-
dants were, ifpossble more brutal in their
conduct than the men. 1t was one of the
rules of the asylum that patients should not
lie down to rest during the day time. Some
of the weak, idiotic female inmates, were
constantly violating this extraordinary order.
and thus drew down punishment upon them
selves. But many of the cases had not even
this excuse. The punishment was generally
arbitrary, in accordance with the brutal
whims of the attendants.
The Superintendent of the asylum is DR..
McFarlane. formerly from New Hampshire,
and the committee hold him responsible for
the cruelties practiced.

A HORRIBLE FRAUD.-The St. Louis cor

There is no telling the ways that men. greedy
for gain, will not avail themselves of to ad-
vance their fortunes, especially during and
since the war. as men have been found will
ing and anxious to sell soul and conscience
for little filthy lucre. A few days since an
incident occurred which very forcibly illus.
trates this. An Irishman was employed to
dig up and remove some of the bodies of
Union soldiers in the Western Cemetery Of
this city. In lifting the cofins he thought
they seemed unusually hollow in their sound.
and opening some of them found that no
bodies had ever been placed in them at all.

The mystery to the honest Hibernian was
great; but when it was told him that the
Union soldiers were buried by contract, the

that the bodies could be sold at handsome
profit to some medical college, the doubt was
at once removed, and the avenue TO a laroe
fortune was Immediately disclosed This
was only one of the ways that the war made
men rich. -
