At the st. Charles Theatre, New Orleans,
recently. Mr. A j. Talbot, q member OF the
La Rue MInatrels shot with dueling pistol
an orange from his wife's head. No man
was found willing to present himself as a
target.
We copy the above from the Boston
Herald We happen to know that Colonel
James Fl. WiDgfeld, whose acquaintance
the paragraphist of the Herald enjoyed
when he was a Crescent writer here, pro-
posed to Mr. Talbot 'to present himself az
target when the private experimental
trial was made on the stage. Colonel Wing.
field is himself a good shot and has faith in
the accuracy Of other good msrksmen.

This is the gossip OF the New York Worlds
Washington correspondents;
Collector Casey, of New Orleans, arrived
here this morning. and is stopping at the
White House. The impression has obtained
that he would soon resign the Coilectorship
of New Orleans, and be appointed naval
officer instead. There is reason for be-
lieving, however, that such is not yet the
case. Casey was sent for by the President
to talk over tie situation, with the under.
standing that he was no: to be disturbed
unless he wished it; and the cabinet meet
ing called by the President to-day was part
ly because the pressure that has been
brought to bear upou him for the removal
OF Casey has been SO great that he wished
to consult with the cabinet before making
answer either way. II is not definitely
known, but 1t is thought that Casey will
retain the Colectorship until he retires
voluntarily. In that event he will be
literally provided for.

Make the Pigs Fat.

Pigs are scarce and pork is likely to
command a good price. A well-fatted
pig brings at least two cents per pound
more than one with bare kidneys and
thin sides. Eight bushels Of corn, with
ordinary pigs, that have nearly attain
ell their growth, shonld give us at least
100 pounds of growth At 10 cents
per pound, live weight, the present
price for fat pigs in Chicago, this
would give US one dollar bushel for
the corn. But this is not all. If we
sell pig not half fat, weighing $50
pounds, we should get only s cents per
pound, or $40. Keep this pig two
months. and feed it eight bushels OF
corn and it should then weigh $50
pounds and bring, without any advance
in prices, 10 cents per pound, or $50.
In this way we get SIS for s bushels OF
corn, or Sl.S7i per bushel.
Dnring October, fattening pigs should
be pushed forward as rapidly as posi-
I BILE. 1t is poor economy to feed them
on nubbins, or soft, immature corn
Better give such corn to the cattle or &c
mich. cows. But if it must be fed to
the fattening pigs let them at any rate
have one or two meals day Of sound
corn. And take pains to induce them
to eat as much as they can digest The
chief points in fattening pigs are
Comfortable quarters, a constant supply
of water in separate trough, regular
feeding, and undisturbed sleep. AS &c
how long it will be profitable to con
tinue the fattening, We know Of no bet
ter test than the amount of food con
sumed A two hundred pound pig
that is doing well will eat at least two
bushels of corn week-and if he eats
more and digests it you may be pretty
sure he is growing rapidly and is pay
inc well for his fedd; but as he gets
filled up" he will eat less, and so long
as this is due to his being more quiet
and contented, and to sleeping more, il
is little or no disadvantage, but when II
