There are two characteristic sto-
ries going about respecting the visit
Of the Grants to Windsor. In the
dining-room there were two tables,
and Grant minor was placed at the
second where sat the lords in wait
ing. But his Republican soul swell
ed with indignation, that he, the son
of the ex-President. should not be
put in Que OF the very foremost
places and. rising in his seat, he
loudly exclaimed. "If 1 don't take
my seat at that other table, quit"
Eventually one of the Queens guests
gave place to the irate youth. After
dinner her Majesty was conveTsing
with Gen. Grant. somewhat apart,
when up came the irrepressible Grant
minor. and thus addressed his as
tonished sire; Il say, father, just
introduce me to the. Queen right
away" Her Majesty took the mat
ter, as it only could be taken-as a
Joke but she must have had some
difficulty in keeping her countenance
when he added, Il guess, Queen,
I'm about the first thai vas ever in

Egyptian Corn.

Mr.. w. A. Sanders communicates
the following statements in regard
to Egyptian corn to the Fresno (Cal.)
Republican. An intelligent and re.
liable gentleman vouches for the
truth of the great value of this grain.
We think that some of our farmers
should procure a small quantity of
the Egyptian corn. and make an ex-
pertinent with it. There would be
very little expense attending such
experiment, and the result might
possibly be attended with very prof
liable results. 1t is in this way only
that we can obtain some kinds of
knowledge or come to comprehend
the exceeding rich resources of ma
ture. Mr.. Sanders says:
Last year 1 obtained q single
head OF white Egyptian corn, con-
tanning about four ounces Of clean
kernels, for seed. 1 have finished
harvesting it, and can now give an
opinion as to its merits. 1t makes a
vigorous growth, ripens in about the
same time as other corn, and will
grow with less water and care of
culture than any other corn, while
the yield of grain, here on our sedi-
ment land, is perfectly enormous
From four ounces of seed / have
gathered 200 pounds of corn, besides
the stalks, which are about the same
as other corn fodder. 1t requires no
husking; the head growing without
covering on the top Of each stalk ;
enables a man to gather as many
bushels per day as he can pull, husk
and all. of ordinary corn. And when
gathered it is done, and ready for
feed or storage, as the minute short
stems. that join the kernels that
bind the small, light main stem in
the center of the head, form so in
significant part of the bulk and
weight, that they are no detriment
in either case. This is desidera-
tum-no sheIling, no threshing, and
the bulk in storage being scarcely
greater than other grain when threSh'
ed and cleaned. The white variety
(the one L have raised this year
makes a quality OF -four mot meal,
that for pancakes, biscuits, in fact
warm cakes of airy kind. cannot be
surpassed. They have a peculiar
nut-like flavor and richness, not
found in any other kind of bread
While for feeding stock, horses.
hogs, poultry, everything that re-
quires grain feeding on a farm, it is
unequalled. They eat with the ut
most aVfdity. They will leave any
other grain for it, and from limited,
though very careful observation and
inquiry among those who have used
it, 1 can safely say, that in desirable
food qualities for horses or other
stock, nothing better can be desired"

A Heart-Rending Tale Of Starvation
and CannlbaIism.

BosToN, Feb. 2l.-A letter received
from Captain Kane, Of the schooner T.
Il. M Mcdonald, dated Goree, west coast
of Africa, January "a, says that on his
outward passage from Boston he jel
in with the wreck of the British bark
Marie, Captain Grayson having on
board two survivors of the crew Of
fourteen men, the others having per-
lshed from exposure and famine The
wreck was discovered in latitude So %
longitude % 80, with the masts gone
and hold full Of water. The two men
were taken on board the schooner, but
oae died within four hours. From the
sole survivor 1t was ascertaIned that
The bark was bound from Doboy, Ga,
to Belfast, Ireland; that she sprung a
leak in gale and filed with water SO
1t was impossible to save any provisions
or fresh water. The lumber with
which the vessel was laden prevented
her from sinking, but the weight of
the masts turned the vessel on her
beam ends until the masts broke away,
when she righted, and the men re-
gained the deck, having no food Or
water. They soon began to die Of
starvation, aud as soon as one died the
rest subssted upon the dead body, and
SO on, until only two were left. The
sorvivor, James Mclaughlin, bel ongs
to Belfast, Ireland, and says that only
small portions of the bodies could be
eaten. No one was killed, but the
moment one died the survivors cat the
throat Of deceased and drank the blood
and then divided the heart and brains.
1t was thirty-two days from the time
Of the disasters until the wreck
was sighted, and during all that
time the crew had not drop of water
or other food than the bodies of their
dead shipmates.

La recent holiday lecture at tbr
Royal Institution, Irof. Tyndal speak
ing Of the painless death by electricity
remarked that Franklin was twice
struck senseless by the shock. Hr
afterward sent the discharge of twn
large jars through six robust men. WHO
tell to the ground and got up again
without knowing what had happened
neither hearing nor feeling tue dis
CHARGE. and Prestly, too, who made
many valuable contributions to cleo
trlcty, received the charge of TWO jars
but did not find it painful. Prof.
lyndall said this experience agreed
with his own, that in the theatre of the
Royal Institution, and in the presence
of an audience, he once received the
discharge Of a battery of Is Leydeu
jars. Unlike Franklin's six men, he
did not fall, but, like them, be fell
nothing; he was simply extinguished
for sensible interval. This may be
regarded as an experimental proof that
people killed by lightning suffer no
pain. Now, the measured velocity of
electricity is many thousand times
greater than the measured velocity OF
sensation In the nerves. Hence, the
electrical concussion reaches the center
OF lie without any possible announce
ment by the eye or ear or sense OF
feeling There is abundant evidence
that death by rife ball traversirg the
brain is for the same reason entirely
without consciousness or pain. A rife
ball, however is tortoise com pared

Henry Ward Beecher Prays fcr the

MADISON, February 21.-The Rev.
Henry Ward Beecter prayed in the
Assembly chamber this morning.
Every inch of settin, room was taken,
and one enthusiastic young man went
without bis break fast SO as to hear the
great divine pray. The ladies' lobby
was crowded with members wives, who
many OF them took this occasion to
visit the capitol and witness the run
ming of the State machinery. Not
half of those have purchased tickets
for the lecture by Mr.. Beecher, this
evening" but as mere curiosity to see
the man is the principal Instinct in the
breasts of q majority, the supernumer-
les took time by the forelock
and saw Mr.. Beecber pray this morning
When the Brooklyn pastor ascen led
the steps to the Speakers desk, the
stiffness around the chamber was in
striking contrast to its usual buzz and
hustle on such occasions. Those who
were not listening attentively we're
looking attentively, and Mr.. Bcechev's
prayer. delivered in his deep, impress
sive manner, hoated with oppressive
distinctness through the ball st its
conclusion most Of the spectators left.

satisfied.

THE remains of John O'Mahonev

The remains of John O'Mahoney,
the Fenian cheftain who died recently
iu New York, have arrived at Queens
town, Ireland, and were received by
deputation of Irishmen. The body
was taken to Cork, and after lying in
state in the Democratic club room of
that city a few days was then
be conveyed to Dublin. The Feniaus
are very indignant over the refusal of
Cardinal Cullen to allow the remains
to lie in state in The Dublin Cathedral,
and state that if refusal had been an
ticipated the body would not have been
brought to Ireland. 1t was proposed
that it should be inferred in the ceme-
terry at Glasnevin, a suburb of Dublin,
but thecomplications arising from the
interference of the Cardinal may
change the final resting place of the
noted Head Center of the Fenian or

The Portland (Me.) argus of the
10Th instant says: "a distinct shock
of earthquake was felt in the city at
2:20 yesterday afternoon. The rum
bling sound was distinctly audible, fol-
lowed by the shaking of building In
the vicinity of the kerosene works the
effects experienced were even more
noticeable than in the city. The fam
lily Of Mr.. Garden Gordon was very
much startled, thinking the works had
exploded, so loud was the noise. Then
followed a runbling sound like the re-
verberafions Of thunder, growing less
and less distinct as they receded. The
sounds lasted several seconds. Houses
were rocked and windows and doors
ratified, and in some Instances dishes
fell from the shelves"

A New COMET. comet was dis

A New CoMET.-A comet was dis
covered at Paris on Thursday the Is b
i st. by M. Borelly. 1t was observed
the Cincinnati Observatory on
Saturday week in the place indi-
Gated. It presents nebulous appear
ance, as seen through the telescope,
and makes pretty object for telescopes
of low power. 1t can be seen now
with the aid of a very small glass, and
possibly will become visible to the
naked eye. Should this be the case,
it will be the first comet visible since
that of the summer of 1874 It can
be seen in the early morning in the
constellation Ophiuchus, being now
about 100 south of Alpha Ophiuchi.
1t is-moving toward this star, and will
