At the corner Of TcbSupitoulas and
Gravier streets, on Friday evening, Was
given very remarkably interesting and
daring wire walking performance, which
was witnessed by numerous concourse of
curious spectators. The performer was
full grown rodent, and his apparatus wa.
furnished by a telegraph wire, which, at
the point indicated, crosses over the street
from the roof of Bassett 4 Co.'S liquor
store to the roof of the store directly oppo-
site. 1t appears that this gay and festive
rat has, during the past week, made fie-
9ihnt evening excursions across Il ut wire,

jokes o. The author of What Know

have beeu naEse1 after an organizations that
is certainly practical if not poesical. As a
revsmped joke, however, it is good:
The days are getting longer and the sun
does not set as soon as it did in January,
therefore the farmers have ample opporsu-
nifty to put in the seed for au early crop of
closhes-pins.
Turnips should never BE- pulled--it in

Cows in wet and slushy weather shynld
not be allowed to leave their rooms, other

them vinegar with their pickles. 1t u esr-
tain to make milk sour. A simple dist CT
soup, plain roast beef and potatoes and rice
pudding are the PROF per things to make
cows thrive.
1t is evident that We are to have back
ward season for grain. Therefore it will
be well for the farmer to begin setting out
his corn stalks and planting bis buckwhear
cake IN May instead Of August
With hogs this is laying season, and
you should give them plainly Of lime egg
shells mixed in their feed. Broken glass
is good for the same purpose, though it is
apt 70 make the shells brittle. Care is to
be taken in picking the the ey.s before
putting them in the oven.
The Guano is fine bird, bu. great care
Is q necessary in rearing it. 1t should not
be imported earlier than May nor later
than September. In the Winter it should
be hept in warm place here it can hatch
out its young.
Chickens, during the early spring. cannot

the latter hibernate in the top. of tall trees.
Keep your chickens in warm stable. and

as satisfying. The pumpkin is the only
esculent OF the orange family that will
thrive in the NORTH, except the rourd and
one or two varieties of tie squash. But
the custom Of planting it in the iroat ward
with the sarubbery Is fast going out of
vogue, Tor it is generally conceded that the
pumpkin as shade tree, is a failure.

The ostensible reasons for calling a
Woman's Mass Temperance Meeting were
entirely left out of the report published
last week.
The law has ample provision for the
suppression of the illegal sale of intoxca-
ing liquors, and if carried out, the execu
tors must be sustained by Il proper moral
sentiment in the community or it would
prove of little avail: therefore we need
to implant and encourage in every house
hold, as far as may be, this moral princi-
pie.
Consequently lady was invited to pre-
pare paper for presentation to the ladies
convened, soliciting the cooperation of
the men of the town in sustaining the
women in their work of benevolence, and
the proper authorities in the pursuance of
law. But she decided to be modest for
once" and let it pass.
There is, in this field of labor, enough
for all to do, without departure from the
golden rule"
