Silly Election Wngers,
The New York Times says:

luC NOW IOIh IHteo oogo
Senator Pomeroy has just been max
ing An ass of himself by walking bare
headed through the streets OF Leaven-
worth, as a show to the assembled mob.
"Citizens of all political parties were
anxious tosee the novel spectacle OF our
Senator tfudging through the streets
bareheaded." Naturally enough. Peo-
pie of all parties, and without dlstlnc-
ton Of race or color, are OF course de-
lighted to see q man of character or
holding a high and dignifed position
put himself on level with a circus
clown, or make himself ridiculous and
absurd in any way; but that is not gen
orally deemed sufficient reason for his
doing it. The only excuse Senator Pom
eroy seems to have had for making a
show of himself in this case was that he
had said he would if his county gave q
Republican majority. He was goose
for saying it, and an ass for doing it..
This sort Of political wagers had better
be left to the class Of politicians who
have nothing to lose by making them
selves ridiculous, and who can, there
fore, afford little innocent amusement
to the crowd without doing themselves
any damage. But if grave Senators go
into the business they will ruin it. We
shall expect to hear of our old friend
Nye standing On his head some day in
front of The Clerks desk, or of balancing
ten-foot pole on the tip of his nose,
because Nevada or New York, may OF
may net, vote in particular way. If
disnitaries turp zanies, what is to be-
come of the professionals

4 Strange Discovery,

A queer exhumation was made at the
Strip Vein coal bank of Captain Lacy at
Hammondsville Ohio, last week. Mr..
James Parsons and his two sons were
engaged in making the bank, when q
huge mass of coal fell down, disclosing
large, smooth slate wall, upon the sur
face of which were found, carved in
bold relief, several lines Of hierogly-
phics. Crowds have visited the place
since the discovery, and many good
scholars have tried to decipher the
characters, but all have failed.
Nobody has been able to tell i'll what
tongue the words are written. How
came the mysterious writings in the
bowels of the earth. where probably no
human eye has ever penetrated By
whom and when was it writtenl There
are several lines, about three inches
apart, the first line containing twenty
five words. Attempts have been made
to remove the slate wall and bring it
out, but upon tapping the wall it gave
forth sound that would seem to indi-
cate the existence of hollow chamber
beyond, and the characters would be
destroyed in removing it. At last ac-
counts DR.. Hartshorn, of Mount Union
College, had been sent for to examine
the writing.-Wellsrille (Ohio) Union.

How Raise My Fall Pigs.

When the pigs are two weeks old, !
put the SOW and pigs in the pen or yard
with the fattening hogs, allowing them,
of course, to have all the swill and corn
they can eat. Ordinarily, however,
boil potatoes and pumpkins, with lib
eral seasoning of meal, for the first two
or three weeks of feeding, which is bet
ter for the sows than corn. In the mean
time, have O hole in the pen large
enough for the Juveniles to 90 through,
and there provide side dish for them
of sweet milk, with a little meal or
shorts added to it. In case you do not
have milk enough for the sows and pigs
both, give to the latter by all means.
Previous to the setting in of the cold
weather, they should have access (both
old and young) to grass plot, but after
hogs get fleshy, and are full fed, they
will eatbut little grass.
By the way, il is surprising how
small grass plot will suffice for swine;
often they have been fed upon it for q
year or two, when it has once become
enriched by feeding on it. The writer
has kept six and seven full-sized hogs
on a plot of trifling over an eighth of
an acre, and for the most part the feed
has been good.-W. j. p, in Country
Gentleman. Ef.

q trial deemed sufficient, the action of
GRANT shall be considered satisfactory
to the Radical party, but Congress will
certainly insist upon the trial. 1t will
require q full and complete practical
committal to its policy from the new
incumbent of the Executive Office. The
repeal even then of the tennre-of- office
law will be humiliating confession, q
degrading acknowledgment, on the part
of the Radicals of Congress, that they
enacted it not as q matter of principle,
not because they thought it fit to be a
law, but because they were incapable
of elevating themselves above the low
level of the basest and vulgarist par
tisanship. The President and Congress.
whether they part company or act har-
noniously together, will find them
selves sorely beset by troubles. The
penalties of insincerity, hypocrisy, and
factiousness, and warfare upon the
Constitution have not been paid, but
they must be.

Sensible Talk.

The Detroit Free Press-One Of the
best Democratic journals in the great
West-thus discourses upon the present
and future course OF the Democratic
party:
The Democratic party will not, be-
cause 1t has met with defeat, abate for
one moment its devotion to the great
principles OF civilization and progress
justice and right which underlie its
oTgaulzation and constitute the basis of
ITS existence. 1t is struggling, not for
the aSceudcncy of individuals, but for
the success of principles. Holding those
principles rs sacred and essential TO the
unity Of the nation aud the prosperity
't the people, it cannot and will not
ABANDON them. They are the we'll
sprung from which flows the fountain OF
AAuouIl existence, and they cannot be
abandoned merely because those who
support them have met with temporary
defeat.
Il is not often that moro sound com
mon sense is found in the same number
OF lines, aud we earnestly commend the
atterance Of our Western contemporary
'othe Democracy of every section of the
country.

West Virginia Legislature.
[EXTRA SESSION.
FRIDAY, November l3.
SENATE

Senate met pursuant to adjournment.
w. E. STEVENSON in the chair.
Prayer by Rev. J. A. Mofatt, of the
Second Presbyterian Church.
Senate Journal of Thursday was read
and approved.
Mr.. FOREMAN, on behalf of the COM
mittee on Banks and Corporations, made
report on chapter "a of the Code, &C
companicd with a substitute, relative
to Insurance Companies.
The substitute was taken up and read
by sections. Some two hours were con-
sumed in discussing the difference be-
tween foreign and domestic corpora
tions. After seme amendments the sub
stitute was agreed to and ordered to its
third reading.
Senate Bill No. so was taken up, and
on motion of Mr.. WILSON it was laid
back on the table, and made the special
order of the day for Saturday at II
O'Clock, A. NJ.
Senate Bill No. 81 was taken up for
its second reading and referred to COM
mittee on Judiciary.
On motion of Mr.. BURLEY, the Sen
ate Joint Resolution No. II was called
mp.
On motion of Mr.. CHAPLINE, the
Senate took recess till % 7. NJ.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Senate Joint Resolution No. II
came up as unfinished business. Where
upon Mr.. BURLEY arose aud advocated
the passage of the bill. He said he had
no interest in the bill, any more than
the benefit that might rebound to the
State on the completion of the road.
He looked on it as one of the most i'm
portant works now in existence, or in
contemplation. He urged that it was
the duty of this Legislature to ask
Congress for aid.
Several unimportant amendments
were offered and voted down.
Mr.. FARNSWORTH offered substi-
tute for the original resolution-con-
Meeting in the same resolution the Great
West Virginia Central. He said that
the Legislature, when the charters for
these railroads were granted, consider
ed the Central road as the most worthy.
He, therefore, Thought that Congress
should be impOrtuned to aid both roads.
A lengthy discussion here arose, and
finally the substitute was submitted.
On this vote the yeas and nays were
demanded and sustained. The substi-
tute was lost-yeas, Ia; nays, 4.
After some further debate and amend
,nents the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. CHAPLINE offered resolution
relative to authorizing the Sergeant-at-
Arms to purchase postage stamps to the
amount of S., for the purpose of paying
postage, &c. The resolution was agreed
to.
The Senate adjourned till Saturday
at 10 o'clock A. NJ.

The Radical organs lay it all to the
account Of General Rousseau, that
Louisiana gave au immense Democratic
majority. They say that Z system of
terrorism was established in the
State.
General Rousseau published that
the law Of Congress, in regard to suf-
fTagr, should be executed. He said that
the whole force at his command should
be brought to the execution of the law.
And he did not fail in his promise. If
the negroes Staid away from the polls,
they did so simply in order to give a
protczt for the throwing out of the
Presidential vote of Louisiana. Let
that vote be thrown ont, let the entire
vote for SEYMOUR and BLAIR be thrown
out-who cares

Mixed Stock in Pasture.

| noticed, some time ago, good deal
written about keeping q mixed stock
on pastures. As have been keeper of
stock from very early youth until new,
l venture to give my opinion. And first,
l have found that sheep do very well
amongst cattle, but cattle do badly
amongst sheep. To prove it, let the
farmer take the fodder left by the cat
tie, even when part of it has been trod-
den under their feet, and if the sheep
are not fully fed, they will see the sheep
eat it up very greedily; then let them
take what his sheep leave and offer it TO
his cattle, and he will find they won't
taste it, if they can get anything else;
or let him tHrA his milch cows into a
sheep pasture, and he will find them to
fail in milk.
Cattle do very we'll where horses
pasture. In proof of this, every farmer
must have seen that cattle will eat the
litter of horses, even if fully fed, but
horses won't eat what cattle leave, un'
less compelled to do so. But horses and
sheep will do we'll in some pastures, es-
pecially the herses. To prove this, let
the farmer turn out the sheep from their
yards, turn in his horses, and they will
eat up all the sheep have left, even the
litter around the racks.-John Johnston.

Stock Fowls.

Autumn is the time for selecting a
stock for keeping over, as we'll as
choice breeding fowls of whatever va
riety we intend to try the next season.
An old and needless fowl should be
cleared out, to give the choicer flock a
better chance. 1t will prove failure
if too many are kept; better err on the
other extreme. A small number always
pays handsomely. Forty to sixty of q
good kind in one lot, will shorten the
face and lengthen the pocket of the
owner, if he does his part. Feed and fit
them we'll in the fall, and prepare
quarters fer winter laying, for it is good
policy and much more satisfactory to
have hens lay bOuntifully when eggs
bring the highest prices, returning their
cost many fold, than to be bill of ex-
pense, returning nothing in the common
method among majority of farmers.-

The silver coinage of Europe is destin-
ed, within short period of time, to un-
dergo a complete change. In France,
the coins bearing the impress of the
Bourbons and of Louis Philippe, of
Napoleon l, and of the Republic are no
longer legal tender, but continue to be
received IN payment at public offices.
The coins of the early period
of tho second empire will soon
be withdrawn, and only those which
bear the Imperial crown will beretained
in circulation. This coinage is being
produced in large quantities at the I'm
perial mint. The measure will extend
to the other countries which have as
simulated their monetary system with
that of France. Thus in Belgium the
coins withdrawn are those produced ia
the reign of Leopold |, and bearing the
late Kings portrait. In Switzerland
and in Italy, the pieces coined prior to a
certain date, (lS63, it is said) will also
be gradually taken out of circulation.
