Anecdotes of Rufus Choate.

Rufus Choate and Chiet-Justicc Shaw
ot Massachusetts, often indulged in wordy
combats, and wit was generally eNpend-
ed by both sides. Choatc was once al
guing Il cause before the Chief Justice
(who was one of the homeliest men ever
elevated To the Bench and, to express
his reverence for the conceded ability of
the Judge, said in yielding TO an adverse
decision:
In coming into the presence of Your
Honor, | experience the same feelings
lIindoo does when he bows before his
idol. | know that you are ugly, but |
feel that you are great
1t is said that Choate had command
of language, and his brain teemed with
wealth Of diction truly marvellous When
Judge Shaw first heard that there was a
out, containing 300 new words, he cN-
claimed, For Heavens sake, don't let
Choate get hold Of !"
Choate in an important assault and

about an hour that Dick got his salt

Keeping Fowls on Large Scale.

Many think that because small number
oi hens pay well, A large number will pay
in the same proportion Wen, suppose
they would, provided there is ample pro
Vision made TO spread a large number over
large space OF suitable grounds; but all
attempts that have seen or read Of, where
the triad has been made to keep II great
number OF hens together, have proved fail
ures. The only successful production of
poultry ON a large scale that | know of, is
by The Messrs. LelandS OF the Metropolitan
Hotel ol New York city. They have some
thirty 10 forty or more acres devoted to
poultry breeding, but they are scattered
all over it, and kept i'll 4 state OF nature, as
it We're, only we'll supplied with suitable
food in abundance. In this way thousands
are kept with success, or at least were
when heard from them.
If was going into the business on a
large scale, would select piece OF open
woodland or large orchards or brush fields
should, however, prefer orchards, apple,
pear. peach, or plum; is essential. llenner-
les or chicks should always be placed
where they can have shade or sunshine at
viii; and if running streams pass through
the grounds, all the better to save the labor
of watering the birds. Small portable
sheds to rooSt not over twenty-five to fifty
hens each, which could be moved as re
quired by one or two men, with ample snita-
bic nests scattered about in. convenient
localities, the sheds to be so scattered as
to give each colony ample rowing space,
and certainly not more than 4 hundred
head 10 an acre go To an acre would be
better are best
In this way, with proper care and attcn-
ton, have no doubt that keeping poultry
on Il large scale can be made to pay, es-
pccially if ample arrangements are made
TO. a good supply Of spring chicks. IN
winter the hens could be brought in and
made to occupy suitable quarters. Cor

TIE LAST RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.
Further accounts respecting the late ter
rible railroad catastrophe near Nashville,
Tenn, say that the portion Of the train
which went through the bridge into the
river compriseda sleeping and two ordin-
ary cars They fell u distance of twenty
feet into eight feet of water. The ladies'
car tell with irightiul violence and the
passengers were dashed all to one end of
the car, together with the seats and fas-
Jennings which had given way. Mr.. John
Campbell Of Nashville, and another man
were the only two in the car who could
move. They swan round the car and ex
tricated ten of the occupants, bringing
them to the surface in II very bruised and
injured condition. A number of others
whom they could not reach were under
the seats and covered up among the brok
en- wood and rubbish in the car. These
were all either killed or drowned. Thir-
teen Of the thirty occupants Of this car
lost their lives. The bridge, whose I'M
perfect construction was the cause of the
accident, had been carefully examined
and pronounced perfectly safe.

A Story with a Moral.

The New York journal of Commerce
says: A dealer in pork has a precocous
son who Is an expert in cards, and, in
playing with his young companions was
seldom on the losing side. lie began at
first to bet on the game, and ere long
could play regular for money with any of
his age disposed to take the risk. He
came home one day, bringing several dol
lars which he had acquired in his small
way of gaming. and exhibited his gains
to his father with quite an air of triumph.
The thoughtful parent shook his head and
told his son that the money was not hon
estly acquired. But did not cheat" said
the boy. II hope not, replied the father
"but did you give the loser any equiva-
lent whatever for it?" The boy hung his
head, and the parent added: "Money is
honestly acquired when there is an ex-
change of products or services, and the
receiver gives an equivalent for it; to
take another mans property and give him
no equivalent for it is to rob or cheat
him.
A few months alter the father came
home from the Produce Exchange with an
elated aspect and announced that he had
settled his speculative contracts in pork
hy the receipt of fifty thousand dollars.
His son eyed him steadily Il moment, and
then said: "What did you give the other
man, father, rs an equivalent for the
money ?"
