The time to applauded the commss-
sion will come when .it has finished its

be assured by the constructors OF the

it must reconcile the defeated party to
defeat, or it will be, certlin extent, fail
ure.--Ne,c York Times, January 81.
"How very little questions.of principle
have had to do with the support given to
the scheme from either section of its ad-
vocates, is shown by the rather indeco-
rous satisfaction expressed by some of
its Republican advocates over the fact
that Judge Davis has passed out of the
category of avalble arbitrators. So able
and respectable paper as the Buffalo
Commercial Adrertiser makes the follow
ing foolish comment on this presumably
happy chance for the party to come out
all right: Then, dear but uneasy breth-
en-, you have the chance which you at
first thought was dead against you. Be
content. All is working WE'LL If coming
out all right, means that defeated party
will have the chance not only of heaping
their opponents but also,of calling in
question the fairness Of certain members
of the Supreme Court, then indeed all is
working we'll. But it will hardly be left
for posterity to find out that the authors
of the unconstional compromise have
builded much worse than they knew

Total cost,

4 fair estimate of the crop of these
zen acres would be 500 tons. Five
hundred tons of thimothy hay would
cost $4,000, and as this 500 tons of
chopped fodder will answer the same
purpose as the timothy hay it is easily
seen that every community can thus
raise its own meat at about half the
cost to import it.

A NEW PLAN FOR PREPARING
AVID 0PRENERVING CORN
FODDER

Francis Morris, of Howard county,
Nd, has lately adopted method of
preparing and preserving corn fodder,
that has for the last ten years been
growing IN favor in the south OF
France, and which according to the
reports of the agricultural society'of
France has superseded every other
kind of fodder in that country on ac-
count of its quality and cheapness.
Mr.. Morris is satisfied that its adop-
tion in this country will entirely re-
voiutioniZe the system of farming. He
related his experiment and the result |
as follows About the first of last !
August planted five acres OF ordinary |
wheat land in Indian corn, and al
lowed it to grow until the 1st of Oc-
tober. when it was in tassel. then
had it cut down with a reaper, and
passed through the ordinary feed-cut;
ter. The fodder thus produced was
wixed with straw in the proportion of
four-ffths corn, fodder to one-fifth
straw. II was then put in trenches,
trampled down and covered with
earth. The fodder remained in this
state until last christmas day, when
the trenches were opened and the fod-
der taken out and fed to the cattle. The
fodder was found to be in as perfect
state of preservation as when it was
fret put in ,.andIthe cattle seemed to rel
ish it from the first, and now prefer il
TO any other kind of feed. The cost of
producing this fodder was only 81 a
ton, which is only one-twentieth as
much as the cost of timothy hay,
which is not equal to it in any respect.
II the land is planted early ia the
spring, 90 or 80 tons can he raised to
the acre, but in France the land is
highly manured and the corn is sowed
only two feet apart, which often
makes the yield as high as 80 tons to
the acre. The same land can after
wards be planted in barley, and loses
none of its strength by the planting o1
the corn. as it is principle in agricul
ture that the strength of the land il
only lost in the formation OF the grain
By the use of this fodder every farm o
100 acres, planted with 10 acres of thi
fodder, would be able to fatten 10'
head of cattle during the Winter
which would yield profit of so pc
cent. besides the immense advantag,
of having such an amount of stabl
manure, which in itself, if utilized
would pay for the fodder, thus used.
The advantages of this method, MI
Morris states, is best shown by com
parlson between the cost of produc
ton of this fodder and the cost of time

TROUBLE WITH MEXICO.
Further Particulars of the Arrest Of the US
Consul at acapulco.

SAN Francisco, March 29.-Further
particuars of the arrest and lmprlson-
ment of John A. Sutler, United States
Consul at Acapulco, are as follows; Pre-
yious to the occupation ofthe town by the
forces of Diaz, under command of Cen
Jimenez, General Alvarez, who held the
Mace in the interest Of Lerdo, levied a
contribution on the citizens to obtain
funds to carry on the contest against Dlaz
Among this who paid the amount assess
ed was one Henry Kastan, an American
citizen, who owned considerable property
including a plantation, in the vicinity
About this time Consul Suffers house
was entered one night by Mexican with
a view to robbery. Sutler shot at ana
wounded him. He was examined ana
discharged by due process otlaW. When
Jimenez entered the city this same Mex
ican turned up as one Of his adherents,
together with a large proportion OF the
rabble element, and there is an impress
sion that his private enmity,may haYee mad
some weight in subsequent proceedings
against Sutler, more particularly as many
threats were uttered against him by the
rough element Jimenez at once began
to levy forced contributions, and seized a
lot of cattle belonging to Kastan. The
latter lodged protest with Sutler, as the
American representative, and then fear
inc personal trouble, left the city. On the
morning of the 9TH inst. Sutler sent
protest to Jimenez, receiving reply to
the effect that he had better be careful
how he protested against or interfered
with the action ofMexican authorities, or
he would get into trouble. A few hours
after Sutler was surrounded on the street
by soldiers and marched to prison. Sub
seuuently Jimenez apparently concluded
he had carried the thing too far, and in
formed Sutler that on making the request
in proper form he might be liberated.
Sutter replied that he would accept his
liberty if offered, but declined to make a
request, and still remained in jail on the
departure of the steamer. In letter to
his brother here be says he has sent let
ter to the United States consul-General
at the City of Mexico, representing the
state of affairs, and intimates doubt
whether it will reach its destination, as
all his correspondence passes under the
eyes of his jailer.

A ROMANCE OF EGYPT.

Ismail Pasha, late the Egyptian FL
nance Minister, was remarkable man.
Originally one Of the lowest grooms In
the stables of the Khedive OF Chospra,
his first step on the ladder OF fortune
was gained by marriage with liberated
slave from the harem, who speedily ini-
tiated him in all the mysteries OF that
institution, and showed him how, by an
artful use of harem influence, a clever
man might raise himself to almost any
eminence in the State. lsmail prronted
by his wife's advice, cultivated the harem
through her, and found himself eventual
ly the most powerful subject in the King
dom. He amassed an enormous fortune,
and his expenditure was lavished beyond
even Oriental extravaganza. His harem
was one of the largest and most celeDtat-
ed in the East, 1t consisted OF three
hundred women, all young a1d beautiful
for Ismail would have no women IN ME
harem over the age of thirty--and two
CORPS de ballet one Of French, the other OF
Hindoo girls. Every night he was con-
Quoted to his chamber by twenty young
girls, clothed in magnificent and fantastic
attire, blazing with gold and jewels, each
carrying in her hand gilded taper SUCK,
and each taper giving out a different col
ored light Immediately alter his death
his harem was brought up by the rich
Beys and Pashas, and fabulous prices
were said to have been paid for some OF
the beauties. His jewels were computed
to be worth SO, 3,250000, and as every thing
is forfeited to the Khedive, that astute
ruler will make a good thing out OF the
death of his Finance Minister.-ET.
