A cpssoapnndent writes the Indiana
Farmer: fhave n, ticed an article going
the rounds Of the papers advocating ce'
ment for plg-pens, which ] concur In.
But why stop with the pig-penI i have
q pig-psn twcnty-s feet by thirty-four
feet, with / paved and cemented floor: /:
a'ss I have a barn forty by sixty.four
feet equAre, and the whole Of the base
mcnt paved and cemented. Tho stables
have been in use for five year,, and are 10
asgood oon(iition now as when new. Now,
brother fasmen, will give my plan for
making this Kind Of Aoor. In the hrst
place, romove Che surface dirt until you
get 1 good, solid bed then spread coarse
eand or gravel over ,he surface, from two
TO iour ypches deep, according TO the
size Of the stones you have TO use to
pave with. Commence and lay the outer
lines, I1lskiug allowance for the fall you
may want In your Aoors. After getting
the sutsr line, keep a straight edge by
you, and pound every atone into your
bed until II pets solid and the surface Ia
even OF. In line. ] gave my floor from
three 10 four inches fall to twelve feet,
frsm my manger back.
After the stones are all set rs above
stated, take Of good water lime one
part, and ot clear cosrre sand four
parts; mix thoroughly while dry, and
then wet until IL will run like thin por-
ridge then pour IL In and fill all the
crevices until nearly to the top OF the
stones Alter that is set. take Of cement
one part and sand three parts; make .
mortar m thin that II can be easily
spread. Lay II on even and smooth until
IL ir about one inch thick. After the
plastering 10 d,wn shut out the light
ANA wind, and let the work Of drying be
gradual IL the weather il warm and
dry sprinkling every two or three days,
or, still better, a light coat OF straw
dampened would prevent II getting dry
too soon. The fore part OF the season Is
best for stables, rs they will be hard AZ
stsne by fall II treated right. Some
may think these floors expensive, but
where stone and gravel are handy they
cost but little more tnan woOd, and the
advantage is 90 much that II can hardly
he estimated. First, there Is no harbor
for rats and mice; no waste Of manure
no plank 10 break or injure stock no
freezing OF manure II cleaned out In the
morning; In durability, no end
For horse stables, lay plank seven feet
long In stalls, and you are all right.

A FenOmOus Spider.

A citizen of New Zealand has sent to
HardUtcke's Science Gossip an account of
the distressing effects of the bite of ven-
omous spider, called kapito, which in
tests that island. A young man was
awakened from sleep, one Monday night,
by a bite on the back from kapito. The
spider was captured, and proved to be al
most black in color, with a body about
the size of pea. The wound it had in
flicted Immediately caused the most eX-
cruciating pain, which was at first felt in
the groin. On the application of ammonia
the pain left the groin and passed up the
spine, gradually working Its way into the
arms and chest. Tuesday, the pain, in
creasing in intensity, travelled with the
virus into the legs, occasioning consid-
erable swelling of the veins. A turnip-
poultice placed on the wound, when taken
off was followed by the oxidation of a
quantity of black fluid. A liniment being
rubbed irto the legs also caused black,
ink-like fluid to discharge from the pores
in great drops. After this emulation the
patient improved, but remained for a
long time very weak, and, in the first four
days after the bite, lost exactly twelve
pounds in weight. For the first two days
brandy was administered in small doses,
with the effect of diminishing the pain.
The writer states that he had never wit
messed such agony produced by the bite
OF any serpent or insect as resulted in
this case from the bite of the kapito.

case, brought before the Supreme Court of
that State, and in which a decision dis
charging the prisoner would be considered
as recognizing the validity of the Hampton
Government, Justice Wright (colored) had
stated that he was intimidated and coerced
by threats of his personal safety, into the
signing of the order discharging the
prisoner. The Justice had subsequent
ly revoked his signature, giving his
reasons therefor in a published state
ment. The Supreme Courtroom was
crowded, on the afternoon of the I'd, to hear
the final decision in the case. Associate
Justice Willard appeared on the bench, but
colored Justice Wright was absent. The
Sheriff was sent to look for Wright, and re
turned with the Information that he had not
been seen since the previous morning. Ow-
| ing to the lack of full Bench, Justice Will

MatrimOny and Prima-DOnnas.

Nine. Adelina Patti, Marchioness of
Caux, has had in her married life some
such experiences as have befallen other
great singers who accepted as husbands
titled or wealthy spendthrifts. She is
about to apply for a judicial separation
from her husband, and it is understood
that the reason is that he spends, in gamb-
ling and other extravagances or vices, the
money she earns by her talents. The
first husband of Mile. Garcia, Malibran,
was rich New York merchant, who,
failing in business, began to spend her
money and she left him, marrying, after
his death, De Beriot, the violinist. When
Mile. Sontag, who was as great celebrity
as Patti has become, married the Count
Rossi, she retired from the stage. But
the Count gambled away her fortune, and
she was compelled TO resume her profes
sion to support herself, her children, and
even her husband. Mile. Alboni, the best
of all contraltos, was married to the
Italian Marquis of Pepoli, and he wasted
her fortune so fast that she got a judicial
separation, and, as he has since died, she
married lately French gentleman. Other
cases OF prima-donnas welded to wasteful
fortune hunters could be cited, but these
OF Malibran, Sontag, Alboni and Patti are
the most distinguished. and Patti need not
be ashamed Of being in the conpany IN
which she finds herself--PhiSo. Bulletin.
