Attorney OF Vicksburg District, cal
led on the Attorney General This
morning to present to him the situa-
ton of affairs in that State. They re.

of personal nature, and are now

set forth that if troops are sent into
the State, the negroes will elect to
office men plastcrcd over with indict.
menis for various misdemoanors If

tnro will be lost to the Republican
par ty, ard that the successful candi-
dates will be the lovers of good order
aud law abiding and patriotic. They
think the reverse, however, will be
overcome in time for the Presidential

Republican candidate will receivetbo

ted that the Attorney General ad-
vised the delegation to remain here

From the bienial report of the

the following very interesting fact
and figures are culled:
The panic affected the institution
but little. The Penitentiary COLI

it now has 1858, 315 being women;
l,O72 are employed under contract
-21S for the State. During the two
fiscal years ending Nov. 80, 1874,
from receipts and labor the PEN
itentiary has paid the current ex-
penses, made the necessary repairs,
amounting to S6,45S, expended S32,
1904 in permanent improvements,
$l2, cash on hand, supplies
worth S54, 1895 bills receivable,
etc, amounting to S44, 14I.15. The
financial exhibit shows a net gain

The number of men confined is
greater than in any prision on the
continent, if not in the world. The

A Dual of Jewels.

One day, on the trip up, when
reading a magazine, my attention
was attracted by the glitter of a gold
bracelet, which, look where l would,
flashed before my eyes, and fur
ther scrutiny revealed the fact
that the young lady who wore it
was particularly anxious that L
should be attracted by it, and, to
further her design, began cutting
the leaves of her magazine with a
silver fruit knife. For the purpose
of showing her thatI was not partic-
ularly dazzled, in fact, that there was
another such in the world, Itook a
gold pencil from mypocket, marked
a passage in my book, for my brace
let was equal to hers. Deserving
that fact she drew off her left glove
and carefully arranged her veil, that
l might not fail to see the heavily
chased ring which encircled her fin
ger. / could ego her one better"
here so, taking off my glove, I
drew down the blind, flashed a rare
topaz and a solitaire diamond be-
fore her appreciative eyes. She
saw it, and quickly pulling off her
other glove, displayed a splendid
cluster diamond and a gigantic
amethyst. 1 was slightly non-
plussed, but, as she wore no ear
rings, l felt that after all, 1 was
even with he. At that instant she
drew an elegant little watch from
her Dell, WHICH, size atten- |
lively two whole minutes, holding
it up to full view, then turned to
me, as if to say, DWELL, go on" 1
had done my best, and could not
answer the challenge, but thought
mournfully of my poor little Iocket
in a drawer at home, with one side
all damned in. When, at last, the
a~ggravating creature took a jewel
case from her satchel, and held up q
lovely coral set, turning it this way
and that to exhibit all its beauties,
furtively CHANGING at me to be sure
that [ observed was utterly vans
pushed, completely routed, and so
greatly absorbed in my book that 1
did not see a thing.-Afdget in Bos-

BRIGGS'S BABY.

Thomas Briggs, of Detroit, has a
boy-baby about ten months old, who
is admitted at the beginning Of this
article to look just like his father,
and to be the smartest boy-baby in
Detroit.
Yesterday morning the child was
sitting on the floor, playing with
five or six big contributions On a
string, and taking an occasional
nibble at an apple to bring out his
first crop of teeth.
Mrs. Briggs and a neighbor were
talking away as only women can
gossip, when the baby hid the but
tons under a mat, and started to
finish the app.e. A bit of the skin
got in his throat, and he gave a
cough and a whoop, and paved the
air, and rolled over on his head.
"Oh, them buttons! he has swal-
lowed them buttons ~ cried the
mother, as she yanked him up, and
shook him.
"Pound him on the back ~ yelled
the other woman, trying 10 hold his
legs still.
"Run for the neighbors !" cried
Mrs. Briggs, excitedly.
"Oh, he'll die! he'll diew
screamed the other, as she ran out.
And the Deighbors came in, and
made him lie on his stomach, and
cough, and then turned him on his
back. and rubbed his stomach, and
logged him about all sorts of ways
until he got mad, and went to
bowling.
Then boy ran for Briggs, and then
Briggs ran for doctor, and the doc
tor came and choked the baby, and
ordered sweet oil and a mustard
plaster, and told them to hold him
on his back. Everybody knew that
shose six buttons were lodged il. the
baby's throat, because he was red
in the face, and because he strangled
as lie howled and wept.
They poured down sweet oil, and
put mustard across him, and wept
owe him, and the mother SAID she
never could forgive herself. Boys |

sale !" and the scissors man went by
shouting "Sharp! sharp" but that
distressed crowd held the baby, |
down, and shed their tears over his
whole length. The doctor was look
ing serious, and Briggs was think
ing that he hadn't done anything to
deserve such a blow, when n of
the women pushed the mat, and dis
covered the buttons.
Then everybody laughed and
danced, and they kicked the sweet
bottle under the bed, threw the
mustard-plaster at the doctor, and
Mrs. Briggs Rugged the bowling an
gel TO her bosom, and called him

Cost of Pork.

How much pork costs per pound
of course depends in a great meas
ure Oh the kind of pig and'manner
of feeding. After some practical
experience, L am satisfied that, other
things being equal, a cross between
a good Chester White SOW and Berk-
shire boar will make more pork from
the same amount of food than any
other breed they may moi be as
large at the same age as the full
Chester, but they will consume less
food and keep in better condition.
An old and very successful pork
producer once told me that his rule
was that when the price of both
corh and pork commenced with the
same figure, it was safe to feed good
hogs. Or in other words, when a
bushel of corn was worth sixty cents,
the pork must bring sixty dollars
per hundred. By inference I con-
clude that the result of his
experience was that ten BUSH
els of corn would make one hun
dred pounds of pork BY referring
to my note book, and a record of
experiments, / find in one ease
twenty pigs gained sS7 pounds by
eating SO bushels of corn. In this
case the corn was sheIled and fed
whole in the trough. In another
case l find the same number of pigs
ate a bushels of meal with water
to drink) in fourteen days, and
gained $50 lbs. In the third expert
ment 20 pigs ate SOB bushels of meal,
made into thick slop with cold wa
ter, in fourteen days gained Isl lbs.
10 the first case the gain was a triAe
more than ten lbs. AT the price of
pork st the time, the corn In the
first experiment brought so 2-5 cts,
inethe second, 5sa cts, aud Ia The
third, IS SO cts.
In a fourth experiment the hogs
GO in number) were fed 464 bushels
of meal (boiled into thick mush( in
IA days, and gained COG lbs.-gain
Is lbs. per bushel.
In my own experiments l have
found that five bushels of old she'll
ed corn fed to good pigs of the cross
before mentioned fed in November)
made me 472 lbs. ofpork, or gain In
weight. For pigs well selected and
cared for and economically fed with
out cooking, it is probable that l2
pounds per bushel is as much as can |

Because She Was Too Short, He
Left Her at Home Too Long.
New York Sun

New YORK SUM-
The legal questions in the Tilton-
Beecher case are now in process of
solution by a court and jury, but the
moral aspects are still appropriate
subjects for newspaper discussion.
Going back of everything else we
find, according to Mrs. Tilton's
statement, that the primary cause
of the domestic 1nfelicity of herself
and her husband grew out of the
very great disparity in theil height.
She was too short, or he was too tall.
There vas too much difference of
altitude betwixt them. He was
ashamed of her because the top of
her head only came about up to his
shoulder, poor thing! just as if she
could help it! And worse still, he
told her SO, heartless fsllOw!
And then, being mortified at her
diminutive appearance, this Blue
beard Longlegs, when he went off
lecturing, took a taller woman with
him, and left his little wife at home,
all alone-alI alone! Why didn't
he take them both? Then the tall
woman could have taken the Hay
poles arm, and the wife could have
taken the tall woman's arm, and,
growing small by degrees, and beau
titully less, they would have consti-
tuted a very passable trio. The
contrast would have been less strik-
ing because it would not have been
SO sudden.
Or, again, could not Mrs. Tilton
have been elevated to the proper
height by the aid of stills? 1t is
easy to learn to walk on ttem; and
stills about three feet long would
have brought her up into the exalt-
ed region of her liege lord. They
might have proved a little awkward
when she went to sit down in
church, but she could have had a
strap suspended from the ceiling
that she could hold on to during the
service, and, being she, the indulg-
ent pastor could have been reason
ably expected to tolerate this. Or
she might have occupied an entire
pew in a reclining position. This
would have diminished the number
of pews by one, and consequently
would have had a direct tendency
to enhance the price at the annual
sales, a matter of no small import
to Plymouth Church.
Stills or something there should
been to ameliOrate or recon
ellie the difference between husband
and wife-almost anything would
been better than the present
consideration TO which they are re-
duced.
we think that Mr.. Beecher.
though not worldly wise, must have
one lesson-never to marry
another couple not nearer the same
height. He is witness to the meal
,ulable grief which may result from
t. Ii ever again a woman four feet
short and a man ssven feet long APP
ply to him to perform the marriage
ceremony for them, we opine he
will say Nay.
1t is a little paradoxical, but all
he Tilton's troubles seem to have
risen from HIM leaving her home
long because she was too short.
