Do you think it large! amt it too small?
What bother these things give!

SAD END TO "A ROMANCE-THE OBJ
JECT OF JUDGE LEoNARD's VISIT TO
CUBA.-According to 8 Washington
correspondent Of the New York Times,
Judge Leonard, member Of Congress
from Louisiana, whose death from vel
low fever in Havana was announced in
the House of Represen tatives on Friday
last, was the victim of a romantic at
tachment to q Cuban young lady and
to the hard-heartedness of her parents.
1t is set forth that the judge, who was
but thirty-tWo years of age, met the
young lady in New Orleans, and an at
tachment sprung up which led to q
marriage engagement, but the parents
of the young lady, III consequence of her
youth, opposed the match, and Judge
Leonard was not permitted to see the
object of his affection except in the pre-
sence of her parents. When the time
arrived for the departure Cf the Cuban
and his family from New Orleans the
young lady manifested some reluctance
to return home, but an arrangement
was finally made by which she and
Judge Leonard were to be permitted to
hold free and unrestricted cOrrespon-
dence through the mails. After her de-
parture Judge Leonard wrote her sever
al letters, to which no answers We're re-
ceived, which patarally annoyed him
very much, and gave rise to the suspi-
cion that his letters had been intercept
ed and the young lady prevented from
communicating with him. After long
interval he received brief letter from
the lady, which simply stated that she
had not heard from him since her re-
turn to Cuba, and that she could not
hear from him. Unable to obtain any
satisfactory information, Judge Leo
nard, armed with letters from the Span
sh minister and others, set off for Gu
ba, where he duly arrived. Nothing
was heard from hin, directly until yes
terday, when a friend in Washington
received a letter written by aim from
Havana on March Z, in which he said
he had seen the lady in presence of her
parents. No details as TO the success of
his mission were furnished. but from
the general tone of dependency pervad-
ing the letter his friends believed he
failed to obtain the consent Of the pa
rents to his address to their daughter.
In connection also with his visit to
Cuba, it is understood that Judge Leo
nard was requested by President Hayes
to investigate the alleged sale Of South
ern negroes into Cuba as slaves.

Seed Corn.

"Steeping corn in strong solution of
saltpetre "a or As hours before planting,
is said to be a protection against mice,
squirrels, birds, and worms. Copperas,
in strong solution, is also recommend
ed. AS protection against worms, mix
half pint of boiling tar to each peck of
corn; stir briskly so as to give Il thin
coating to each kernel"
We quote the above for the purpose of
showing all our readers what schemes
are resorted to in different parts of the
country, and perhaps to some extent in
the same neighborhoods, for preventing
the ravages of insects, birds, and animals
on the seed corn, and further more to
state in addition what we regard as the
most effectual thing OF all to protect seed
corn after it is planted.
Birds of several species are the great
est thieves of the newly planted corn,
but certain animals, and various insects
are also troublesome. Above it is stated
| 'sas protection against worms" use half
pint of boiling tar to each peck of corn.
| AS protection against oil enemies,
| whether bird, animal, or insect, we
know nothing better than gas or coal
tar, with which every grain that is
planted should be well coated, and which
1
coated with this tar the birds will try
several hills, but finding it repugnant to
their taste they will reject the grains
| they have unearthed and leave the field
for some neighbours who does not use the
tar. AS to the quantity, a pint at most
is quite enough for bushel of seed, and
there is no need whatever of boiling or
heating it either. Spread your corn up
| on the barn floor or hard place in the
yard, pour the tar over the corn, and
then with spade, single, or wooden
paddle made for the purpose, continue
of it has been brought in contact with
the tar and has become coated all over
with it. Do not stop until this is the
case it is not at all difficult to get the
tar distributed, and pint will be found
a plenty. Then, if the planters are par
ticular, they can use an old glove on the
right hand to keep the tar elf; but it can
easily be washed off by first greasing the
hands with any kind of oil or grease and
afterwards using soap and hot water.
The practice of using coal tar on seed
corn has become pretty common in
many sections where crows and m0les
are troublesome. and it certainly protects
the seed more surely than anything else
! yet tried. We advise those who have
not tried it to do so. It is but little ad
ditional trouble, and it is very impor-
tant to get stand of corn at the right
. time No one likes to replant corr
when it is very missing. Some late re
planted hills do good to the general crop
D but too many of them makes an irksOmt
! job. 51
