BRUrs FoRCE.-Muscular force
is admired among the ruder sort
Of people in ell countries. The
first ladies Of Rome clapped their
ieweled hands when some gladia-
tor hacked and thrust with pecu-
liar energy, reddening the sand
Of the amrh;theatre with the
blood : Of brave antagonist. The
population Of whole cities witness
with enthusiasm the spectacle ol
. human bull bait. From pit to
dome whole thestres become wild
with delight over the bloodless
combats Of the stage. It is the
same animal inetinct Of fear which
makes the timid respect and obey
the bold aud the strong, that
makes the sparrow hide from the
hawk, or the gszelle to Ay from
the lion. The desire to excel in
exhibitions of bodily prowess i
kin to that emulation and love Of
glory which possess the conquer
ing warriors whole mind. The
hero Of : score Of great battles il
only q refinement upon the burly
champion Of the village green.

During the trial Of . case Ii
Louisville last week, . witness
persisted in testifying to Whist his
wife told him. To this Of course
the attorney objected, and it was
ruled out by the Judge. He
would proceed to tell ''shust how
it vas, {" when the attorney would
sing out, How do you know
that!" "ny-wife told me-" was
the answer. This was repeated
several times. Presently the
Judge becoming unable to contain
himself longer, Suppose your
wife were to tell you the heavens
had fallen. what would you
think :" We'll, den, | dinks dey
were down."

New York is compelled to sub.
NIT to the stern logic of facts and
figures, which, according to the
inexorable census takers, give
her a population Of 950.00O, and
no more. Her claims to a mil.
lion and a quarter fall to the
ground she may grow, but she
must be content and modest for
some time yet. The "curiosities'
among such an aggregate of hu.
man beings are numerous. In
the Eighteenth Ward a house
was entered that was occupied
by an old woman and her sou.
What is your occupation p ask
ed the census taker. looking at
him. "1'm a thief, and l don't

the man gruf1y. The census ia
ker repeated the question, with
q faint smile. "A thief" said the
man angrily, land if the police

but q regiment ofsoldisrs couldn't

Bachelors, old maids, idiots, de-
formed and bed. ridden people,
all were sought out aud enume-
rated and the work seems to have
been, in one city at least, thor
oughly done.

AGRICULTURAL. DOMESTIC, &c.
Mixed Ilusbandry.

The lessons Of the past are not we'll
remem bcred. Every few days 8, me new
excitement is raised about the enormous
profits that are to be, made by such and
such crops, or such and such animals.
Oar older farmers will remember the
excitement raised some thirty years ego,
or more, over the silk worm. Every body
was infected with the insane desire to
raise silk. A little later, and an equally
strong propensity was exhibited for
Shanghai chickens. After this came tho
sheep fever; then the strawberry and
grape excitement; and now we have the
small grain and potato speculations. In
terspersed with the above, We have had
side shows Of hops, cranberries, pigs and
cattle. Whilo these exoitenents have
lasted, many credulous farmers have been
seduccd from their routine Of mixed crops,
and have ventared their all upon these
new. tangled ideas. 81.
We are not prepared to condemn these
flights Of insanity, although thcy reflect
somewhat upon our intelligence; but
they have usually resulted in some good
to the country, IL not to Individuals.
We would advise our farmer friends,
however, to hold themselves aloof from
these excitements, and not allow them.
selves to be blinded BY any glittering
speciaiities. Stick to q system of mixed
crops, for therein lies your only sure
prospect for making money. If you
desire to experiment with broom corn or
Magic hogs, hops, or fancy oats, do it in
$ .ch way as will not destroy ell other
sources of making money for tho season.
The Lincoln County herald., 1870-11-24
Extra Food for Hogs.

Coal, ashes, and clay, are beneficial for
hogs, when shut up to fatten. Hogs are
very foud of cinders, coal, ashes, and clay,
and improve in condition by eating Ger
tain quantity Of them every day. Some
persons are unable to accouot for this
singular propensity in swine. Poultry
ale very ford of egg shells, lime, sand,
etc, and it is we'll known the substances
are necessary in order to form the shells Of
eggs, and'to furnish material for bones of
fowls. Now it is reasonable to suppose
that swine eat ashes for the purpose of
supplying material for their bones, and
this singular instinct Of animals SO low in
the scale OF intelligence, is truly wonder
ful, for ashes contain ingredients which
are necessary to form bones, viz: clay,
silica, coal. soft lime, stone, and rotten
wood, etc, with their food, which contain
the necessary ingredients but when
they are pcnt up they endeavor to supply
the material necessary for keeping up
their frames by devouring ashes and
cinders. Let them have plenty Of them.
