The Infamous Stowe.

IF ever publishers of a jour.
nal blushod ut tho prostitution of
their pages, Messrs. Fields, Os-
good and Company should Grim
son with shame at the appearance
Of Mrs. Harriet Boccher Stoves
beslial paper on Lord Byron in
the last Atlantic MontAly. What
the nature Of that paper is, and
what ia tho charge it contains, We
need not explain tho matter has
been canvassed by every Journal
in the country.
We arc glad to noto that the
shameless woman who makes the
charge has placed hersolfin a d.
lemma Of intamy from which there
is no escape. For, supposing her
statement to tie true, Lady Byron
consulted her, IN strirfcSt confidence,
on the question whether it was or
was not her duty to make this dis
closure public; and Mrs. Stowe,
after long deliberation, replied that
Lady Byron was justified in with
holding it, at all events, during her
lito. The soal Of that confidence
was never removed. BY Mrs.
Stoves own admission--she wait
cd for years after lady Byrou's
death, she says, expecting that
some ono would como forward
with authority to give tho secret
to tho worldly her own admis-
sion she was not authorized, and
no one was authorized to make
tho disclosure. Lady Byron could
never have intimu.etl that sho had
an idea Of giving Mrs. Stowe this
authority, or the letter would not
hive fliled TO trumpet abroad tho
fact. Therefore Mrs. Stowe has
either shamelessl y violated II most
solemn confidence, or she has been
guilty Of the most monstrous and
atrocious calnmny ofmodern times.
We of the South, who know how
to rate Mrs. Stoves veracity very
accurate y at its true worth, will
not husitate for Il" instant between
these probabilities; and perhaps
somo Of her English friends may
now got All insight into the real
character Of tho author OF Uncie
TOMS Cabin.
Some Of the papers allege that
this publication is Il desperate et:
fort to revive tho falling circulu-
ton of the atlantic. We know
not how this may be; but we are
proud to know that there il no.
Southern magazine that would not
rather cease publication than de-
file it's pages with such revolving
abOmina ions; and We arc equally
proud to believe that any South.
ern magazine that should be- guilty
Of no doing. would be spared the
expense Of publishing IL socond

VIII 1t Pay to Feed Boiled
Corn to Stock2

A Western farmer gives his ex.
perienco on this point as follows4
Having fed boiled corn to a few
cattle last winter, became con.
vinced that it was profitable and
decided to Try 1t thoroughly this
year. I ain now feeding only
two bushels Of corn per day, to
seventeen head Of oxen and heavy
steers, and nevor saw cattle tatten
better in my lito. ..
In addition to this they have
liberal supply Of corn fodder and
if any farmor can name O cheaper
way to make beef l should like
I to hear from him.
Perhaps tho reader may sun
pose that tho process of cooking
is tedious and expensive, but it IL
not so.
have q boiler five feet long,
two and half wide, aud one and
Il half deep tho sides Of which
arc made Of fpoplar plank, and tho
bottom Of sheet copper (iron is
much cheaper and lust al good)
which will hold six bushels Of
corn
This is set or u stone fur.
nacc aud when full Of corn is
filled about two.thirda full of wa
ter, and covered TO contino tho
steam. After heating tho water
to boiling point, it is allowed to
cook about twenty minutes, when
it is tnken out and thrown into
tho tubs which have holes in tho
bottom to drain tho water back
into the boiler.
BY taking tho corn ont at ono
ond, thoro is soon room enough to
roll the grain which is on tho ton
down into the hot water, which
in addition to tho stcaming it has
already received cooks it suf-
ficlently.
In cold weather the corn must
be put into bin in Tho cellar,
which is tho hardest part Of tho
labor. A handful Of salt should
| bo thrown in ovory time tho
boiler il filed. Ono man will
cook twenty-five bushels in half u
day, and ono cord Of wood will
boil hundred bushels. ...
Tho cob Of corn, in it's dry
state, is about as digcstiblo rs Il
whito oak chip, and tho grain has
just begun TO soften after soaking
ak hours in cold water but after
boiling, the cob is easily chowcd
and tho grain crushes into cooked
meal undor tho teeth, 80 that tho
process Of digestion commoncns at
once. am convinced that cattle
will thrive botter upon two bush
els Of boiIod corn, thar upon three
bushels in its natural state.

ANCIENT PEDEsTRl ANrsM Heading the
goesiping annals OF English sporting life,
one discovers that there were ''waikists" in
the last century a. well ~ this. Pedestrians
used to undergo course of treatment that
the constitution of horse would scarcely be
able to bear First physic was administered
in huge and frequent doses; then followed

pable Of ''spurt'' when the pinch came.
One of the latest of the laet century walking
celebrities was Poster Powell, Yorkshire
man, and IN attorneys CLERK In the New
Inn. His fleetness of foot first became known
when he performed . journey Of 3o4 miles In
six days. In 1778 he performed similar
journey for a wager Of 100 guineas, making
still quicker time, and covering on tn. first
day 68 miles, on the second ~. on the third
so, on the fourth IS, on the fifth "a, and on
tho sixth So. In November, IT'S, he at.
tempted to run two miles in ten minutes,
but failed by thirty seconds. He made still
quicker time on several occasions afterward,
and would certainly have been formidable
competitor for the pedestrians of to-day, II
he had just been born few score Of yesrs

Mormon MoRTALITY.-ft the statements
just now current, about the mortality among
the children Of the Mormon polyga,nists are
reliable, they ore certainly very noteworthy.
It 10 said that the entire death rate among
the Mormons Of Ill ages, is greater than that
of the city Of New York, or even of New
Orleans, which is probably the most un-
healthy city in the United States. Of GO
deaths in Salt Lake City, in one month, A
were Of children. And these. it is notice.
able, are not so much the children of the
poorer saints, who are compelled to content
themselves with single wife or so, but of
the rich and prosperous ''apostles' and
''elders." Thus Heber Kimball, one of the
very elect, has lost 4S children out of his
family of 63 children. Another dignitary
has lost 70 children, another 20, and third
II; and the famous Joe Smith, the father
and founder of Mormonism, with his six
wives, leaves to the world only two sons to
uphold his name and defend his fame. Now
all this looks very much as though the laws
Of Nature as we'll Us the word Of God were
against polygamy.
