A MARKET FOR PoTAToEs.- The

What shall we do with them ? Cru

"What you cannot sell, feed to the
cows, horses and pigs In the Now
England states and New York, in
the old time, the potato crop had no
commercial value, but was Of great
Importance for feeding purposes
Better give our work teams in spring
a feed of potatoes at noon, rather
than corn, especially if we feed corn
at night and morning. If you have
a dry COW to fat, feed her potatoes.
If short of corn for the pigs, boil po-
tatoes for them. A peek day to
zach COW will add to your yield of
butter. The surplus for market is
moro apparent than real, after de-
Quoting for homo use. Thousands of
farmers families at the West will
have a winters supply for the fist
time, thanks to the potato mania

Thrilling scene in IISe Cage Ofnn
Enraged Lion.

From the y. -. BIcaNunC.
An incident occurred Tuesday at the cir
GUS corner of Bourbon and Orleans streets.
which nearly became tradegy. 1t is well
known to our people that Herr Lingel, the
lion tanner, at the close of the performance
enters the cage of the lions. For more
than year past the lioneSs has had great
antipathy to him, and has more than once
attacked him with savage ferocitY. At
Madison, Indiana, last summer, She came
very near killing him, and rs if still remem-
bering the advantage then obtained, she last
night made a similar attack, which came rs
near being fatal. For some time before en-
tering the dens, the lions discovered great
uneasiness. and when the lion tanner mount
ed the ladder which led into the cage. the
lioneSs assumed position which Threatened
an immediate attack. Undeterred by this
manifestation of hostility, the iron-neryed
performer threw open the door and darted
in. For moment the scene was thrilling
The lions seemed mad with rage, aud sprung
from one side of the cage in apparently UNI
governable fury. The lioness was particu-
larly spitetul, and sprung ut him more than
once with open mouth; but the mcSmeric
power of the eye controlled her, and as of
ten retreated into the further corner of the
cage. growing sullenlv. COmpclIin,r the

Herr Lingel was about retreating from the
den, the lioneSS. as if possessed with sudden
fury, sprung ut him and clutched his knee
i'm her teeth. The audience were appalled,.
The shrleks OF women mingled with the
shouts of men. Everybody expected to see
the man torn limb from limb. But with adj
mirable presence ofmind he succeeded i'm re-
leasing the hold ofthe ANIMAL and retreated
from the cage. Although dangerously

Too Much Marrying.

The Liberal Christian has an article on the
above subject, from which we take the fol-
lowing:
1t is not in the facility with which people
get divorced. but in the facility with which
they get married that the mischief inheres.
1t is not the marrying but the uumarrying-
the marrying without proper consideration
marrying from wrong motives, with false
views and unfounded eNpectations-marry-
ing without knowing who or What-that
causes all the disturbance. And there Is
altogether too much of such marrying.
Marriage is thing of quality and degree.
y marriage of the blood Is usually short
lived affair, while a marriage of the brain
or of the heart is lifelong. When man and
woman marry all over and clean through.
every faculty and sentiment OF each, finding
its complement and counterpart in the
other, separation Is impossible. But when
they are only half married. when only a
third part of them is married. when they are
married only in their instincts, or their inn
aginations, or their fortunes, the unmarried
part of them is very apt to get uneasy and
rebel, and they find Il Bedlam where they
look for Elysium.
There is altogether too much urging, and
coaXing, and alIuring young people into the
most important and sacred of all human re-
lations. before they are prepared for its re-
sponsibilities or moved to assume its bur
dens, and by those who ought to know bet
ter and act with more consideration. We
ried, until it is thought by many people
somewhat of a disgrace for woman to pass
life alone, when, in fact, the life of
many a single woman is poetry, romance,
rapture even, in comparison with p,any Il
wife.

Southern Emigration 1.-The NanhaI-
tam COmDanY

On the 22d of February last, Thos. Nay
lor. of Washington, ID. c., formed an assoc
citation for the purpose of raising colonies
to 60 South to the States of Georgia, Nir-
ginia and East Tennessee, to purchase lands
therein and to settle on them In this move
ment he was aided by Messrs. III. Cochran.
of Missouri, Cornelius Comstock, of New
York; Il. Paine and j. ID. Williamson, of
the WhitlOck Exposition Company, No. 81,
Park-place, in whose lecture room the meet
ings of this Society were first held. AT one
of these meetings Mr.. Naylor was appoint
ed President of the Company, and code of
bylaws was drawn up to regulate the fees
and assign the qualifications required of
members. The entrance fee is S., and each
member is obliged to furnish ample proof of
his responsibility, and must possess ut least
$500, although a good honest man, worth
81 coo would not be rejected. The Compa-
ny has gradually increased until it numbers
to-day ZIG members. 1t has $1,000 in its
treasury, together with $4,000 in the City
Bank, deposited to its credit by several per-
sons interested in its welfare. In choosing
locations for their colonies the Company
will be assisted by Governor ID. w. Lewis of
Georgia. and many other prominent South
ern gentlemen. Lands are to be purchased
in the most fertile parts of these States, and
colonies of three hundred families each Will
settle on them. The first emigration Is eX-
pected to take place early in May. Meet
ings will be held as heretofore, at No. 81,

From the Philadelphia Pres. April Is.
Arrangements were made by the friends
of the condemned to have an effort made TO
resusitate the body. AeceT,!i2 SiiJ, a COM
mittee appointed for the purpose were in
waitir at the prison at the time of the exc
cutiOn, and the body. wrapped in blankets,
was brought TO the University. The drop
was four feet; the cord around the neck was
a small one. He hung by the neck thirty
minutes, and there were signs of life only
four minutes after the drop. Ten minutes
after being cut down he was placed upon
the table in the mphitheatre. the time clap
sing from the execution being 1orty-fouT

and a powerful galvanic battery applied to

stomach. At the same time the tongue was
Withdrawn from the mouth, and the body

In four or five minutes marked change oc-

heart were distinctly heard. So evident
were the signs of life that his friends eNut-
ed over the fact that he really lived. Anoth-
cr gallon of oxygen was introduced into the
lungs, and the battery was so changed that
the current passed the entire length of the
spine, and the artificial respiration contin-
ued. For few moments the signs of life
increased. but in n short time disappeared.
Nitrous oxide gas was injected into the
lungs by an artificial opening into the ira
char, made by Professor Duflee, but all to
no purpose, and at the expiration of one
hour and twenty-five minutes the expert

Another evil beginning to show itself Is
the mixing of kindred blood. The marriage
of cousins is too common, and am told that
several cases have occurred where uncle and
niece were married, but | know personally
of no such case.
There are several cases Of man marry
ing both mother and daughter, and the mar
riage of two or three sisters BY one man i
quite common. Robert Sharkey, meT-
chant of this city, married three sisters, one
of whom was divorced from her first huS-
band to marry him. They all lived in one
house, and quite happily, it is said, for sew
eral years when in some strange manner
they all became convinced That poIygamy
was wrong. One Of the sisters started last
but soon returned, and endeaYorcd to make
some arrangement for him 70 put away the
other two. There were difficulties IN the
way. and Sharkeys trouble was so great on
the subject that his mind became disorder
ed, and last August he committed suicide By
shooting himself through the head. The
widowed sisters still live together, and are
determined opponents Of poIySamy. Two
of Brigham 1oungs faYoTlte wives, cara
Decker and Lucy Decker Seely, are sisters,
the second having beer the wife Of DIR.
Isaac Seely, of Nauyoo, Illinois. The Nor
mon leaders advise a man to marry sisters
whenever it can be done, as they usually
agree better than others. One family with

four women. the mems first wives beng

Or 10 state il mathematically. y and 3 first
marry sisters, then 4 marries BIS sister. and
b AS sister. Here is no marriage of blood
relations. and yet it looks like a terrible
mixture somewhere. The question arises
for lawyers: Suppose each Of the women TO
have children. what akin are they respect
lively? And which of them could lawfully
marry, according to Leviticus and Chancel-
lor Kent? If polygamy continues, these
mixtures are nothing to what must take
place in the next generation. for without Il
chemical analysis no "heraldry Harvey
could ever succeed in finding the consan-
guineous circulation, to say nothing of the
collateral. ''As it now is, it seems like half

way or another to the kimballs, the Pratts,
