probate judges were passed and ordered for
ratification.
A bill to amend section IS of chapter 120
of the General Statutes, relating to liens on
crops, being the unfinished business of yester-
day at the hour of adjournment, was resumed.
The chair ruled that the amendment (pro-
posed by Mr.. Bamp6eld) was out of order,
because it would not only modify, but annihi-
late the bill.
Mr.. Bamp6eld then offered a substitute for
the bill, entitled "A bill to repeal section 55,
chapter 120, of the General Statutes, relative
to the lien on crops" which was considered.
The bill provoked considerable discussion.
The repeal Of the law was favored by Whip
per, Bamp6eld, Barber and Humbert. and
opposed by Nesbitt, Sloan, Hirsch. Leslie and
Hamilton. The substitute offered by Bamp-
field was passed by vote of Sc to AZ. The
substitute limits the kinds of produce on
which liens can be taken, with the modi6ca-
ton that the bill shall not take effect before
1st January, 1877.

Improvement of the Mississippi's
Mouth,

The commission of seven army engin-
GERS which was appointed to report upon
the various plans suggested for the i'm
proven MT of the Mississippi river, in
Guiding the st. Philip canal scheme and
jetty project, has made two reports.
The majority report recommends the
ietty system. The minority report,
signed by but one officer, advocates the
st. Philip canal improvement. There
is considerable feeling in the engineer
corps on account of this majority report,
as Gen. Humphreys, chief of the corps,
has been very earnest in his opposition
to the jetty system. The caucus COM
mittees On transportation Of both houses
have been waiting for this report before
coming to any conclusion as to the
special plans of internal Improvement,
if any, which shall be recommended for
passage at this session.
The southern and western congress-
men are expected to at once unite all
their energies to secure the adoption OF
Capt. Eads' proposition, now that ma
jority of the commission have reported
in favor of the ietty system, for the i'm
provement of the mouth of the Missis-
sippi river. The proposition that the
general government shall construct ie-
wees along the Mississippi is to be push
ed with great earnestness, and a power
full influence is already at work to
examine the question. A commission,
composed of army and civil engineers,
have reported that the necess airy levees
for Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,
and Louisiana can be built at cost of
So, 500, 900. One great argument that
will be used in this behalf is that it will
go far to solve the troublesome south
ern question. As long as the planter
has no guarantee that what he sows in
the spring will not be drowned out in
the summer, he does not SOW, and, con-
sequently, does not reap, and with hun
cry babies and an empty belly, he finds
his chief solace in talking politics and
indulging in a luxurious condition of
dissatisfaction with almost everything.

At the Madrid Rink.

Says a correspondent of the London
Daily News: "The effects of torchlight
and snow, of frosted birch and pine, of
the frozen pond, and of faring wood
fires on its banks, render festival at
the Madrid rink one of the prettiest
sights afforded by hard Paris winter.
should not omit to speak of the ami
nation of the company, and the gay
costumes in which luxury and fantasy
have each place. The pleasant fiction
that members of the skating club are
incapable of introducing any one to the
reserved pond who would not be pre-
sentable at court, were there such a
thing in France, tends to unrestrained
sociability. Mirth is fast, and in the
sense of rapid motion furious. The
awkwardness of the skaters, instead of
being drawback, seems to keep the
ball rolling. When French duchess
is intent on fun and yet half afraid of
an ignominous fall on the ice, she is
more oharitably disposed toward act
resses and such like, who cut tremen-
dous dashes on the pond, than she might
be elsewhere. The use of skating
chairs enables gentlemen and ladies to
hide want of nerve, experience, and
agility. Almost any one who can at all
keep on his legs is able to push forward
one of these vehicles without falling.
What he has to fear is collision with
another, which, instead of being guided
by the conductor, drags him at a run
away pace after it. Those pretty Amer
leans, so extensively taken up by the
ex-empress when she was at the Tuiler-
les, will be missed from the Madrid
pond, if the frosts admit of a nocturnal
fete. Since the disappearance of the
imperial court, Uncle Sans fashion
loving fair nieces have deserted Paris
for Nice and Monaco. dare say, how
ever, there are enough here to admit of
a cotillion being danced, as of old, upon
the ice. There is no lack of Russians
in Paris. But the Cars subjects are
not fond of skating. The length and
severely of the Russian winter indis-
poses them for robust exercises. Their
idea of Information is staying in houses
warmed by hot air fues, or when out of
doors being whisked along the ice-bound
roads and rivers in fur-lined sledges."

Winter the Colts Well,

1t is fact we'll known that farmers
colts are poorly wintered as a general
rule. There are exceptions of course.
We would have better horses if the colts
were better wintered.
The form and character of the colt is
formed in the first three or four years
of its life. It's character may be good
or bad It depends almost wholly upon
the handling to which it has been sub
ject. lis form or build, depends, in
great manner, on the way it has been
fed. There are more colts injured by
poor feeding in the winter than in the
summer, for the reason that there is
more pasture in the summer than fod-
der in the winter.
A colts build may be spoiled the first,
second or third winter by poor feeding,
and no amount of feeding afterward
will restore it to its original build.
When it has arrived at working age,
1t is not only ugly and il-shaped, but
its value is also below par.
We import stations at many thou
sands of dollars apiece, for the improve
ment of our stock, which is money
almost spent in vain, and will continue
to be spent, until we, as a class, winter
our colts better. Colts should be
housed through the cold, rainy days of
the fall, and when it is pleasant they
should run out. In winter they should
have liberal allowance of hay. They
should also have few oats. Oats are
better than corn for they make bone.

The HumOr OF Sarcasm.

The sting of sarcasm lies in the in
tention of the speaker, and one may
trust that the best of the pleasantries
over which succeeding generations have
made merry were uttered with enough
good humor to take most of the venom
out of them. There was surely a
genial smile on the face of M. d'Argen-
son when he congratulated his ignorant
nephew on his appointment as librarian
to the king, and observed that he would
now have fine opportunity of learning
to read. Illuminated with a gracious
smile must also have been the famous
retort of the projects wife upon Napo-
leon. She had been an object of gossip,
and Napoleon, meeting her at a state
ball, rudely addressed her. "Well,
madam, are you as fond of men as
ever ?" The poor lady had enough
presence of mind to answer eyes,
sir, when they are polite; " rpon which
the emperor turned away rather alb
ruptly. And the alleged impertinence
of the celebrated Abernethy must have
been relieved with a grim humor and
bonhomie that took away much of their
grossness. The duke of Norfolk, who
applied to him for treatment, probably
enjoyed as we'll as needed an heroic
for he VIGOROUSLY paid little
attention to his person. Ibid your
Grace ever try a clean shirt ?" asked
the old doctor.

Spontaneous Combustion Of the Human
Body.

M. Chassaignol, having given to the
question of the human body his es-
pecial attention, appears to have
decided against the possibility of its
occurrence. A careful review of all the
evidence results in the conclusion that
"no medical man nor any one else
whose statements are worthy of credit,
has ever observed the phenomenon at
first hand" As the bodies of those
addicted to the use of alcoholic bever-
ages were believed to be the most sus-
ceptible to spontaneous combustion,
this question was submitted to direct
tests. The flesh of 1runkards-which,
with their bodies, may often be found
in the dissecting room-was found TO
be more iDfammable than that of the
temperate subject and, even when it
had been soaked in alcohol for several
days, it burned with difficulty. The
experiments were carried still further,
alcohol having been injected into the
veins of the dogs; and yet it was found
impossible to effect their combustion
With these facts another popular ,,fel-
lacy vanishes, and with it an opinion
which may have been of service in Ger
tain quarters as a dread of this catas-
trophe may have acted in a wholesome
manner upon those who "tarried too
long at the bowl"

Space in Planting Corn,

There is more or less disagreement as
to the distance corn should be planted
apart, and the number of stalks in a
hill. Good crops are realized from
three and a half feet planting, three to
four stalks in hill. Better have been
grown, as 1 have witnessed, with the
rows four feet apart, including the hills
(Which makes the space between the
hills about three and half feet), with
three to four stalks IN the hill, the diff
ference in this case being mainly in the
greater number of ears grown, usually
TWO to stalk, and large at that, the
larger space between the hills giving
chance for the sun and air to circulate.
1 have also Witnessed q growth of corn
where the space between them was but
half that last mentioned. 1t was on
soil which for several years had grown
large crops of carrots, and was specially
favorable 10 corn, being black, highly
MANFRED and deeply rich, well-drained
alluvial deposit. There resulted sl
immense growth of stalks, but no corn,
although it was the intention of the
owner, confidently expressed, to raise
an unusually superior crop. 1t was
failure, save in the amount of fodder it
made. In that it paid, so great was the
growth. We want the sun and the fresh
