u We clip the following dispatch
from the columns of the San Francisco
Alta:
WASHINGTON, JAN PA serious diff
ficulty has arisen between the Indian
Peace Commissioners and the Interior
Department. The Chairman of the
Peace Commissioners has filed letter
of charges with President Grant, in
which he alleges the existence of an In
dian ring in the Interior Department,
nd great corruption and fraud. The
Interior Department is prepared to deny
all these charges, and will, on the other
hand, maintain that the Peace Commits
sioners have constantly acted corruptly,
having let valuable contracts to person
al friends, etc. An investigation seems
inevitable. strong effort will be made
to transfer the Indian Bureau to the
War Department, and this question will
be used as an argument for the change.
MARRIAGE AND DEATH-A strange jux-
taposition of marriage and death lately
occurred near Lynchburg, Va. There
was wedding at country house, and
the guests focked in twos and threes.-
William Carter came with his wife and
child eight months old. Mrs. Carter
placed her sleeping child on bed in
one of the rooms, and covered it with
her shawl. Others ladies came, and,
seeing the shawl and no baby, dropped
their shawls on the bed until there was
quite pile of shawls, and when they
were removed dead baby was found
under them. The marriage feast was
suddenly turned into scene of MOURN
ing. The mother of the child was sis
ter Of the bride.

salt for stock.


All the herbivorous domestic animals
are fond of salt; this fact, observed from
remote antiquity, was acknowledged by
the Greek and Roman farmers, and
Virgil, who, in his Georges, did moth
ing more than TO put into immortal
verse the precepts Of the agriculturists
of Greece, recommended that adult
sheep should each have ten grammes of
salt, Tor $50 grains, or 150-437ths of an
ounce avoirdupois) in addition to their
regular ration of food. In Europe in
our days, in countries where salt is Civ
EN- to sheep, the average daily allowance
to adult animals is ten grammes per
day. The salt is generally mixed with
bran, broken grains, or chopped roots,
and served to them III a Manager. Salt
70 this amount favors the growth of
sheep, hastens the process Of fattening,
and sensibly improves the quality and
quantity of their wool
The Just daily ration of salt for adult
horned cattle, observation and expert
ence has shown to be 100 grammes Tor
1900 grains, or about four ounces). For
horses of average weight and size, sew
enty grammes (or 1850 grains, or "a 10
ounces), is the daily ration. Salt in
creases the quantity of butter in cows
milk; it accelerates the fattening of cat
tie destined for the butcher by increas-
ing at the same time their appetite and
the strength of their digestive organs.
Salt added to fodder of the second
quality corrects its faults it will be
eaten even by high-fed animals, which
would refuse it, were it not lightly salt
ed. Its utility is so clearly recognized
i'll Switzerland and Germany, that the
fact has taken the form of proverb,
"a pound of salt makes ten pounds of
flesh" This is not vigorously true ::
salt neither contributes to the main
tenance nor the fattening of cattle and
other herbivorous domestic animals. 1t
does not act in the manner of food. 1t
serves solely to make animals profit
completely by the nourishing principles
contained in their rations. Taken
III this sense, the German pro
verb is not an exaggeration. In
the establishments where the daily ra-
tions of the animals kept are submitted
to the preparation above Indicated. to
render them more digostible and profit
able, they sprinkle a little weak brine
upon the chopped hay and straw and
roots, and lightly salt the mashes and
rye bread served to very heavy horned
cattle and to draught horses. When
economical considerations do not per
NIT agriculturists to give to each kind
of domestic animal named above more
than half the ration spoken of, the
useful effect of salt on their health is
made still more sensible.-M 4. YSa.

Placid and pearly, the broad bay sleeps,
On its tawny shore faint foaming
Fleeced with daisies, the meadow sweeps,
Under the suaye blue cleaning
Eastward the sheer bluffs, height by height
Lessen to violet hazes
Over THEN shadow curves the night
Mellows her moon and raises.
Cleaving the marsh that is plumed with grass
In their breezily-rippled clusters,
Lapses the creek, with its gloss of glass
Purpled in lovely lustres
Far away, westward, the cattle go,
Dotting the lands dim edges
Realmed in the roseate after-glow.
Darken the long cloud-ledges.
Burning each moment with warmer beams,
The moon, by her sweet, chaste power,
Lulls the world into lotus dreams,
And hangs like lotus flower
