Miracle Working Among the
BedOuins.
The Neue Freie, of Vienna,
has just published, from the pen
of the Eastern traveller, Baron de
Nathan, an account OF a pretend
ed Messiah who has recently y ap-
peared in Arabia. 1t says: "He
is a Jew of San d in Yemen, with
q fascinating exterior, renal ka-
bly, brilliant eyes and meiodlous
voice. After studying the mystic
ries of the great caballstlc work,
the Zohar, he Withdrew from in
tercourse with his fellow men
and eventually retired into des-
ert, where he submitted to bodily
notifications and self denial -
He soon became distinguished as
a worker Of miracl 8, aad, as such,
attracted the attention of the su-
perstitious Bedouins. These, seek
ing to obtain his good graces,
brought various descriptions of
food, and were pleased that h
condescended to accept their offer
ings. The increase of their locks
and of their house hold, and even
their success in the attack upon
hostile troops, were attributed to
the power peculiar to this worker
of marvellous doings. HIS reputa-
tion has spread far and wide a
mong the Arabian population,
aud many incredible stories are
circulated about him"

How little Land will keep a Cow.

On the first day of June last I COM
menced cutting clover for one cow con-
fined in a yard enclosed by high,
tight, board fence, with stable attach
ed in which she has been fed. She
had no feed but freshly cut clover from
the first of June to the fifteenth of
October, and all taken from one-fourth
of an acre of ground. She has aver
aged eighteen quarts of strained milk
per day, from which my wife has made
eight pounds of butter per week, dur
ing the four and half months. The
cow is five years old, and a cross of the
AYRSHIRE and Durham. She has CIV
en- more milk, more butter, and of a
better quality, than she has ever done
on pasture. On one eighth of an acre |
have raised $50 bushels of sugar beets
and carrots, which with the two tons
of hay will keep her handsomely the
balance of the year. The labor Of cut
ting clover for the COW is less than the
driving her three-fourths of a mile to
pasture; besides, the manure saved is
quite an item. In the dairy districts,
the usual estimate is four acres to the
cow, on the hay and pasture system,
whereas by soiling and raising roots
FIVE eights of an acre is found to be-
sufficient. I will state further, what
/ believe from nearly thirty years ex-
perienee, that there is no crop so many
pounds of which and of equal value for
milk and butter, can be produced from
an acre of ground. Sweet corn is a
good crop for late feeding where clc-
Yer will not grow, but not profitable
for winter feeding.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND FoRGERIEs AND
DETECTIVE Police ExpERIENcEs.-A special
HERALD telegram from Havana, which is
published in our columns to-day, goes to
show that the Bank of England forgery case
and its affiliations and consequences are likely
to lead to some curious developments with
respect to the progress of the criminal pro-
fession on both sides Of the Atlantic-in New
York as well as London. The English detec-
tives who were on board the steamship Moro
Castle arrested man named Wilson, who is
charged with being New York thief and bur-
glar, soon after he had endeavored to practise
some of his "little joker sleight of hand
even on the lynx-eyed officials themselves. He
was excellently well supplied with implements
Of his calling. and in his baggage was found
the key Of one of the rooms Of one of our most
fashionable city hotels The gentleman was,
in police parlance, well calculated to deceive
His more immediate mission on board the
steamship was for the purpose of stealing and
making away with the English papers which
are to be used in the hearing of the extradition
case. Our telegram report Of the matter is

THE WAR OF RACES In LOUISIANA.
Butchering the Negroes in Cold Blood-F iendsh
Work After tho Surrender Of the Blacks
The Miscreants Fleeing from the Parish
Great Difficulty in Sending Troops to
the scsne-The Bodies Of Sixty
Colored Victims Burned.


NEW OhLEANS, April II, 1879.
Later news from the scene of hostilities In Grant
Parish show that the massacre OF the negroes at
Cofax Court House was even more horrible In all
Its details and more complete In its execution than
was at first reported 1t now appears that not q
single colored man was killed until all OF them had
surrendered to the whites who were fighting with
them when over one hundred OF the unfortunate
negroes were brutay shot down in cold blood.
1t is understood that another lot OF negroes was
burned to death In the Court House when it was
set ON fire.
The details OF the massacre, they are re.
lated by cye-witnesses to the terrible scenes en-
acted at Collax Court House, are positively APP
palng IN their atrocity, and would appear to be
more like the work Of lends than that OF civilized
men in q Christian country.
After the butchery Of the surrendered negroes
the whites scattered In every direction, few of
them going to their homes 1t is understood
that many OF them left for the Texas border, in
hopes OF escaping the consequences OF their crime.
AS yet no arrests have been made.
Grant parish Is ever two hundred miles above the
mouth OF the Red River, and as there are very
few boats leaving this city the State authors
ties have experienced the utmost difnculty in
getting suitable transportation to that region for
the militia that has been ordered out to proceed
thther
day could not procure any transportation whatever.
Consequently they cannot proceed to their destina-
tion which is very unfortunate for the best inter-
| ests OF the State.
| Governor Kellogg succeeded, after great deal
OF exertion, in getting sufficient transportation ON
! Thursday last to enable him to send or q small
number Of the State militia, who got under way
last Friday Owing to the delay IN their departure
they did not arrive at the scene OF the hostlties
until Monday, the day after the massacre.
| These troops burned over sixty bodies of colored
men that had been found by them near the scene
OF the slaughter. That seems to have been
the whole scope Of their operations so, far as all
the whites participating in the battle had escaped
before they arrived.
| Colonies Wright and De Uline, OF the Louisiana
State militia, arrived In this city this evening.
bringing with them full report OF the hostile
affair. Owing to the lateness OF the hour am un-
able to give yeu more than this brief outline.
