The Legislature of Mississippi has
passed a law which is certainly in the
interest of the women who have been
waging a crusade against whisky-sell-
ing. tprovides that "in all cases of ap-
plication to sell vinous and spirituous
liquors, or for the renewal of such IL.
cense, no such license shall be granted
or renewed unless the petition therefor
shall be signed in tho genuine sigma
lures or attestcd in the genuine marks
of the petitioners, as the case may be,

twcnty.one years of age, and majority
of female citizens over eighteen years
of age, resident of the supervisors dis
trict or of the incorporated city or town
where such liquors are to be sold"

That Terrible Beecher.

A correspondent Of the New York
Ledger writes to that paper to ascertain
the truth or falsity of the many sayings
and doings attributed TO Mr.. Beecher.
The reverend gentleman answered the
communication by saying he never said
that there was 'ihcll-fred difference
between his doctrine and that OF a ccr-
tain other clergyman;" that lie is not a
card player; in fact, that he does not
know one card from another, and that
he is not the originate: Of the slang
phrase, GLOW is that for high?' He
further says that he does not write out
his sermons, but that mere outlines are
made. In concluding this letter, Mr..
Beccher says: 81 do not promise to
answer all questions, or any more; but
BENG III the mood, have let fly at those
croaking birds, as one returning from
hunt would fire at a crow to clean out
his gun-barrels."

Snow plows.

We read Of many interesting ant
curious Inventions Of man, among which
The snow plows that are used on IN,
CeHtral Pacific Railroad are wonderful
both in their construction aud the won
aertnl manner in which they DO iheil
work. A number OF the San Francisco
Chronicle has an interesting account o.
these immense structures. They arC
described as being as large as two
story house aud weigh from 5000 it
Gj.DJ0 pounds. In front they are shaped
like the iron prov o. an iron-clad frig.
ate, oul, tiic sharp, vertical position o
this Prov changes into fiat surface
where it approaches the ground. AT
tachcd 10 this horizontal PROV is what
is called the apron 1t lifts up and
down on the track at pleasure, aud
when down ii is held there by large
steel springs. This apron presses hard
on the rails and slides over them with
ease. The long Prov is pushed unde,
the snow, the apron lifts it bodily, un.
til it meets the vertical section OF the
plow which divides The snow aud hurls
il off on either side. When running al
high rate of speed, which is often the
case, these plows hurl the snow into the
all fifty feet, plugging it in hugh masses
into the deep chasms aud canons.
One OF the widest and grandesl
! scenes that was ever witnessed on this
road occurred recently. A storm oi
snow had fallen, drifting in some places
TO the depth of ten and fifteen feet. A
snow plow with seven five ION engines
went on ahead TO clear the way; but
at Blue Canon stuck in huge drift and
the whole force of the seven engines
could not bulge tan inch. The express
and snow train were then coupled to.
gether, making team Of eleven engines
snow plow and six cars. This long
train of smoking monsters backed down
for mile aud then come at the drift n,
the rate Of forty miles an hour. The
snow plow stood this enormous strain
and kept TO the track, cutting all eleven
foot passage in the drift, with the pre-
cision Of surgeons knife. The scene
is described as magnificent hey yond de-
scription, the great plow throwing up
the snow in huge masses like ocean bill
lows, and rolling it down the mountain
sides thousands of feet into the yawn-
ing chasms below.

Salt for Hogs.

The Agricultuist says: The unrc-
strained appetite Of swine will often
lead them TO consume things that are
highly Injurious TO them. Cases OF
poisoning 10y partaking Of excessive
quantities of salt often occur among
hogs at this season when beef and pork
barrels me- cmptivu or tue ola brine and
refuse salt. A case in which several
hogs were thus lost in England was rc.
Gently noted. Hogs require a certain
amount oF salt, as do other animals, but
II should be given to them with caution.

Judge Edmonds Talking Back.

From the New York snn.l 3fs -
At 10 o'clock Yesterday morning a re-
porter OF the Sun called on Que OF tho
most noted spirit mediums OF this city

the reporter 10 look underneath 10 see
That there was nothing but an ordinary
table, and that the states had no writing
on them. The reporter obeying direc.
lions, saw an ordinary black walnut ta-
bic only that and nothing more; saw,
that nothing was written on The states
laid bis hand fiat on the table: and
when the medium did tie sttme, nearly
covering the reporters fingers, there in.
stantly came little knocks. regular and
faint, like the ticking of watch. Then
they grew louder, and were heard or
various parts of the table and against
the chair OF the reporter. The table
swayed. When the table was sill tho
states on IL thumped up and down. A
Gothic chair, heavily upholstered, vio-
lently slid out into the room and back

side opposite the reporter Tho double

Alfalfa Gross

The Natchez Democrat and Courier
has the following Of interest TO every
farmer in the State:
COLI. +. Harrison who has recently
returned from California, brought with
him two hundred pounds of the seed
of that celebrated esculent grass-Al-
falfa--to which we made reference some
weeks ago. Col. Harrison believes this
grass, IN our soil, will almost take the
place of corn being immensely pro.
ductive, aud adapted, either in the
green or dry state for all animals-hors-
os, sheep, COWS, mules, etc. Col. Har-
rison has left the seed OF this new es-
culont at Il. Il. Virgins on Gravier
street, New Orleans, and has made ar
rangements through Colonel Andrew
Haynes, TO express from California any
amount of the seed which may be
demanded. II needs TO be planted nj
once, will stand any amount of drou,h
or close grazing, aud be cut as hay, on
good soil, once o month.
