( We have heard of such fun before

Altogether the most bewildering piece Of
news We have lately had is the solemn an
nouncement that the lower House of the
Illinois Legislature has voted to cede the
city of Chicago to Indiana. Thunder out
of clear sky is an everyday occurrence
compared with performance of that sort.
Is some wag in the telegraph office, or some
graver wag in the Legislature, playing a
sorry joke on the modest sucker metropo-
lis or has illinois reached the condition of
the lrishman who caught wild cat, and
was presently calling on nj his neighbors
to - help him let the pesky thing go'' We
ought, perhaps, to tender our congratula-
tons to both States, and yet before doing
so rash an act we should like to know
whether Indiana means to proclaim q
Thanksgiving or q fast over the Natter
.Ne,o York Tribune.

CoTToN BLANKETs.-Georgia manufac-
turing enterprise is presenting to the world
something new. We we're shown yester-
day specimen of cotton blankets turned
out by the Eagle Mills, Columbus, that do
credit to the State. They are very thick,
mapped heavily on both cides, and beautiful
in appearance, They are said to answer
all the purposes of the woollen blanket,
and are furnished at the low price of from
five dollars to six dollars and half per
pair. Besides their value as something
new, if generally adopted they will add
largely to the consumption Of the staple,
with corresponding effect upon the price.

The Philadelphia Ledger, in its account
of the sentence Of Twitchell, says: CATER
the utterance of the first few sentences OF
the Judges admonition to the prisoner,
Mr.. McCully, the friend who has been with
him throughout the trial, fell in fit. His
means and cries, the excitement about the
dock where McCully lay, the bowed form
of the prisoners father, the solemn words
of the Judge, made up scene of great i'm
pressiveness, and among all those in the
courtroom the one apparently least con-
cerned was the prisoner, who stood erect,
and only at the close of the sentence clasped
his hands together and raised his eyes up
wards as he resumed his seat. Shortly
afterwards he was removed to the van and
taken to prison."

quarter has an article on General Ulysses

The Round Table, in its last issue, says
"Some pretty little Gallicisms are sneak.
ing into use that deserve to be knocked on
the head, one of the most offensive Of

as MADAME The English word il
Madam and to use the final in oul
tongue is affected nonsense"

EgOrs WAND SuInh,rr

The Prairie Farmer says: whether
hogs require sulphur as an essential &c
their health, or whether it is sought by
them as a condiment, may not be known
for certainty. Bat one thing is sure, they
devour It with greed whenever it is to be
found II is for this purpose, probably,
that they eat large quantities of soft coal,
which contains a large amount of sulphur.
Perhaps this is the most economical
method Of supplying hogs with sulphur
o during the winter, when they require 6
good deal of carbon. But in the summer
If is better to feed it - them in substance:
which contains lass carbon, on account
of their producing less heat. Mustard is
one Of the best things for this purpose
and on that account some of il should bG
s0wn in every pasture into which hogs are
turned. If hogs are kept up, or are il
small yards, it is well to supply them with
the wild mustard that grows in the fields
or highways, or to cultivate some of The
better varieties for then. They will eat
its leaves, flowers, seeds and stalks

suitable Food for Plants a Prevent
I've Against Insects

We have often thought if all the con-
ditiOns were present to give vigorous
growth and health to plant, that such
plant would either not be preycd upon at
all 10y insects injurious to vegetation, or,
if they were preyed upon, the plant would
be able to resist the attacks made upon it;
and that the depredations of insects are
only natures gentle reminders that some
thing is lacking which the plant needs.
In the animal kingdom do we not find
Ere, ticks, etc, preying upon the un-
thrifty, while those in i thriving and
growing condition ere exempt? A South
em planter, writing to the Mobile Regis,
ter, and giving details of the almost total
destruction of his cotton crop by the boil
worm and caterpillar, closes his article
with the following suggestive postscript /:
a corner of the farm, about one
eighth of an acre, was so poor, though
guano had been applied, that l replanted
il as late as the oath of June, before !
could get a stand, and it continued SO
stunted aud soTTyIOoking that, about the
middle Of August, applied half a spade
full of fresh cow dung to each stalk, GOV,
ering with little earth. Having good
seasons from thence, the cotton grew of
magically, commenced fruiting at once, is
now weighed down with bolls, and,
strange to tell, not leaf has been touched
10y the caterpillar, though they devoured
the other TO the very rows SO treated. Nol
has the boll-worm disturbed it. | applied
fresh stable manure to another poor spot,
with like result as to worms, but not as tc
growth, for the plants fired from the
caustic properties Of the manure They
iruitcd extremely well, nevertheless.
