Corn and Hogs.

From carefully conducted ex-
periments by differsnt persons, it
has been ascertained that one
bushel of corn will make a little
over 104 lbs. of pork, gross. TAX
ing this result as basis, the fol
lowing deductions are made, which
all our farmers would do we'll to
lay by for convenient reference:
When corn sells for 124 cents
per bushel, pork costs Ii cents
per pound.
When corn costs II cents per
bushel, pork costs two cents per
pound.
When corn costs Is cents per
bushel, pork costs three cents per
pound.
When corn costs SO cents per
bushel, park costs four cents per
pound.
When corn costs so cents per
bnshel, pork costs five cents per
pound.

therefore, will find the Republican
party much stronger than in 1874,

altogether different from what it
was in October and November of

your excellent and successful treatment Of

ing, skill and experience, and yet he was

your personal practice, in less than week
the bones were reduced to their proper po-
sitlon, the pains ceased, the breathing be-
came easy and regular, and, as far as I can
judge, he is restored TO his accustomed ro-
bust health and activity.

have heard of many instances of extraor-
binary cures effected by you, in cases Of
very dangerous wounds. - =

The Trnnsit of Venus.

The coming transit of the planet
Venus, December s, 1874, is an event of
great importance to the scientific world,
and extensive preparations are being
made for the observation of that planet
across the suns disk The last transit
visible from the earth occurred in 1863,
and there will not be another till 2004
By the knowledge we now possess, as
basis for calculation, it is impossible to
ascertain the earth's distance from the
sun within 100000 miles. When the
total distance is about 81 1890 miles,
as slight a matter as the distance above
mentioned would seem to be Of no prac-
tical importance; but variation of 40
times the earth's diameter renders com
mutation too uncertain to suit astronom-
ers. 1t is expected that the observation
which will be taken will leave a margin
of only so, 900 miles open to doubt. As
the transit will occur in the winter. the
base of observation must be located
south of the equator. Great Britain
will have stations in the Sandwich Is
lands and in several other localities.
The United States will have eight par
ties in the field. France will occupy
three stations, Russia four or five, and

An American Murderer Tried in
Germany.

A notable murder trial has just been
concluded in Germany, the particulars
of which derive a special interest from
the fact that the murder was committed
in America. Something over a year ago
a young girl named Eta Conkling, then
living with Mr.. Wescott, in Cayuga
county, New York, was found lying in
pool of blood in the hallway of the
house, with the blade OF huge butcher
knife buried in her breast. An investi-
CATION soon led to the arrest OF Joseph
Eggler, who was employed as farm
laborer by Mr.. Wescott, and he was
brought to trial. The evidence against
him was so overwhelming that he was
found guilty and sentenced to death. A
stay of proceedings and a motion for a
new trial proved futile, and he would
have been hanged in June last had not
Eggler's family in Germany brought the
case before the Baden Minister of JUS
tice and prevailed upon him to inter-
cede for the condemned youth. Gov
ernor Dix so far exercised his clemency
as to place Eggler at the disposal Of the
German Ambassador on condition that
he should be sent to Baden for trial.
This was agreed to, and at the trial just
had there Eggler made a statement to
the court confessing that he stabbed the
girl, but declaring that he did so in self
defense. He was hungry, and asked
her for something to eat, whereupon she
pulled his hair and in the struggle that
ensued they both seized butcher knives.
Each endeavored to scare the other, and
in his rage he struck the girl with knife,
and to his horror killed her. The court,
and even the prosecuting attorney,
deemed his story plausible and consid-
cred that there were mitigating circum-
stances to be taken into consideration
in awarding the penalty Of his crime.
AS he was a minor, his punishment was
fixed at two and half years imprisOn
ment.

DEATH.

A maiden in the sunset glow,
Singing music softly sweet,
Heard an angels accents low,
And the sound of mystic feet,
Death" she said, "0h take me not,
Leave me to the love of youth;
Mine has been a happy lot,
Bright with hope, and faith and truth"
So, the angel turned away,
Left her by the cottage door
Singing to the closing day.
As she sang an hour before.
But" he said, another time
She will pray for my cold hand;
Life flows not ia pleasant rhyme;
She may yet this understand"
Years have rolled; a woman old.
Stands beside a river deep,
Far below the waters cold,
Lure her TO a restful sleep.
Love, and Faith, and Youths first dreams,
Mock her by deceit and care;
One swift plunge into the stream
She shall rest forever there.
In that hour the angel Death,
Found her floating on wave;
Stilled the trembling, huttering breath,
Laid her in q watery grave.
And he said: "Oh weary one
1t had better been for you,
Had you died ere noon. day IS sun,
Killed the buds all sweet with dew.
