the tension put upon the bottom plates
when her bow and stern were lifted at
the same moment by two different waves.
When the ship is upborne at the middle
by a single wave, and the bow and
stern are without support, the deck
plates are strained in tension, while the
bottom plates have their strains reversed
to compressive ones. Iron, like every
thing else used in constructing vessels
and bridges, is elastic. A strong iron
girder four hundred feet lons, if heavily
loaded, will defect six inches with per-
feet safety under the load, and ships
four hundred fifty feet in length, in
heavy seas, no doubt bend as much as
that. 1t is simply impossible to keep them
from bending under such strains; but
as the elastic limit of the iron is not eX-
ceeded it does them no harm whatever.
The main arch of the St. Louis bridge,
five hundred and twenty feet in length,
detected under the test load of eighty
four locomotive engines and their ten
ders about three inches. The arch is of
steel and its form resists bending much
better than that of a girder. 4 girder
of the same strength and depth would
have detected twelve inches. Ships on
railway could not be subjected to any
such strains as these, as the road-bed
Tan not bend, and as she would be sup
ported throughout her entire length by
the road. The illustration in the edito-
rial article of the Tribune yesterday
morning, about hauling a dry-dock on a
railway in safety with ship on it, is a
good one; but it is not proposed by me
to haul so much non-paying freight.
The ship will be carried on a cradle on
wheels and springs, but much lighter

Marbled Beef.

AMERICANS have succeededin produc-
ing beef sufficiently fat to meet the
demands of any market. Unfortunately,
however, for the quality of the beef, the
fat and lean are not well distributed.
The fat is in huge masses and is useless
as human food. Specimens of finely
marbled beef are rarely found in this
country. Undoubtedly our method of
feeding beef cattle causes the absence of
''the streak of fat and the streak of lean"
that are so desirable. Our animals are,
for the most part, fattened on corn,
which produces large amount of hard
tallow that is deposited in masses out
side the flesh The best marbled beef
is produced by cattle that feed on rich
tender grasses. The best beef known
in the London market comes from the
mountain regions of Scotland and Ire
land, where the cattle have little or no
grain. 1t was at one time thought that
the breed of the cattle raised in these
localities was the cause of the marbled
appearance and of the prime flavor of
the meat. 1t now seems to be settled
that the superiority of this beef is due
to the peculiar feed of the animals.
Corn produces an abundance of fat, but
it is not fat of the RICH: kind, and it is
not deposited in the right places. 1t is
likely that we have made too much use
of corn in the production not only of
beef but of pork and mutton.
When live stock Of almost any kind
is suffering from any irregularity of the
bowels, the first thing to do is to change
pasture or feed, if possible. In nine
times out of ten this will correct the diff
ficulty. All kinds of domestic animals
should have salt twice week.

Think of the excitement in Paris when
it was known that on Saturday evening
last the wife of the Chinese Ambassa-
dor was going out en- soiree TO private
house.
The mysterious one proved little dis
appointing as beauty if the truth must
be told. As at first seen, moving for
ward in her heavily-lined dress, she
looked like the mere animating principle
of a bale of silk. Her black hair was
strained back from the face, TO finish off
in wondrous artistic confusion of pins
and feathers at the back. She is several
shades darker than her lord; and a
thick iDipoSto of white powder struggles
unsuccessfully with this natural gloom.
1t is the honestest painting ever seen
there is that to be said for it; as scorn-
full of all concealment as the painting of
a clown, which it SO much resembles in
its thickness and its sici]y white 1t was
the same with the little daughter, who
had not reached the matronlv dignity of
paint, and who was several shades dark
er than the still smaller seven-year- old
brother by her side. This scrap of hui
mainly had the complexion of his papa,
the awful Marquis, who maintained i'm
penetrabie reserve of look all the even
ing behind his gold-rimmed speciac.es,
and who at times seemed to find his re-
sponsibility for this desperately risky
evenings amusement rather more than
he could comfortably bear. He saluted
the ladies with much grace by removing
his plumed hat and laying ii on the table
in the drawing-r room.
His infant son supplied animation for
the whole party. He may not have been
allowed to laugh at the conjurer, but he
did it; and at one point he made an alb
surd attempt to raise himself on the tip
toes of his clumsy thick-soled boots,
which was about the best thing in the
whole entertainment. His mother
seemed to enjoy the thing amazingly.
She never took her almond orbs off the
conjurer. There seemed very little
mental difference between one and an
other in this section of the family. They
were all babies. The noble Marquis
may be said to have brought his three
children TO the fete, instead of his wife
and two. The daughter was but a
smaller mother in frame, and in look
there was little to distinguish between
them. These Chinese faces are just as
young and Just as old as you please

that the men of her family who have
a plenty of rich milk to drink will not
seek any thing much stronger or more
hurtful; and it will always be help to
her larder and balm to the feeling
that hates to dismiss a 90 tramp" with
out food, lest it should be the tradi-
tional angel unawares, if there is
big bowl of milk to be handed out to
him.
We do not mention at length the in
effable comfort, saving and satisfaction
of having ones own butter at command,
for one can not do every thing with one
COW; and remembering the vulgar but
veracious adage that one can not have
ones cake and eat it too, we understand
that we can not use our cream and still
have butter. There is, nevertheless,
now and then some one COW which de-
serves fame, which gives family all
the milk they can drink, the cream they
can use, and furnish enough cream be-
sides for a good quantity of butter; and
if we ourselves have never met with
her, yet her report has reached us.
But they that ever realized the charm
of s.gilt-edge" butter which once tasted
makes those who used to spread the
thinnest possible skin of butter on their
bread afterward eat as much butter as
they do bread, will realize a still greater
charm when the butter is of their
own production, and will be willing
either to keep an extra COW, or to be
sparing in the use of the cream of the
one COW. for the sake of having that
luxury all their own, and will think
nothing of the care that the necessity
for purity and cleanliness occasions,
which, after all, when the routine has
become established, is hardly notice.
able addition to the Homework. Nobody
knows, but those that have experienced
it, the pleasure and pride to be had in
the giving to less fortunate friends and
neighbors, of little dewy pats of golden
butter made and stamped by ones own
hand, looking as if the COW that pro-
duced that butter were fed only in
heavenly pastures.
To crown the whole, the pleasure to
be gained in the love and admiration Of
the COW that adds all this comfort to our
household arrangements is something
more than money usually can procure
for us-those sleek sides, those great
moon eyes, those gentle ways, are ala
most as good in the yard as the daily
sight of Cuyp would be in the parlor;
and there is something very hui
manizing in the presence and possess
sion of the pretty creature. One grows
constantly more and more attached TO
her; and we have seen the little half
bred Jersey, bought when a calf for ten
dollars, increase her values in her
owners estimation at such gigantic
rates, as month by month went by and
that owner reveled in the luxury of
Boosting of her points and her beauty,
that there was apparently not money
enough in the world to buy her.-Har-

Closing Exercises Of the colored Fe-
male School.

EDITOR CITIZEN.
The closing exercises of the Pu
laski Female School (colored) took
place last week at the Primitive
Baptist church, and were witnessed
by an immense crowd-the largest
assemblage of colored people, SO we
are informed, that ever turned out
on an occasion of this kind in Pu-
laski. We are quite sure the pa
rents manifested greater interest in
their girls this time than ever be-
fore. They were never known to
attend the examinations before this
term. We are pleased to say that
great many parents and friends
were in attendance at the examina
ton, which took place Thursday
and Friday, and all expressed them
selves perfectly satisfied. The ex-
animation was highly creditable to
the pupils, the higher classes re-
ceiving especial oommendation for
proficiency in what they had gone
over during the term. We here ex-
press our thanks to Director L. NJ
N. Jones and Register G. G. Philips
for their visit to our school, and are
sorry that they were not in time to
examine some of our classes. We
will say for Maj. Jones that he has
visited our school during recita
tons and has shown interest in our
method of teaching. Thursday
night the primary and intermediate
scholars were on duty. The cere-
monies were opened with prayer by
Rev. Marshall Osborn, after which
one hundred and eight speeches
and dialogues were delivered with
out a failure. We desire here to
thank Rev. DIR. Leftwich and other
white gentlemen who attended our
exhibition, and are sorry that they
were unable to procure seats. Had
we known that they were present we
would have given them comfortable
seats.
Friday night witnessed the clos
ing exercises by the advanced pu-
pills, and on this occasion the
crowd was so great that stand
ing room could not be had in the
house after eight o'clock. The
programme was composed ofspeech-
es, dialogues, singing, and essays
of superior merit. Every piece was
well rendered, and we are told by
those who attended that this ex-
celled any exhibition heretofore
given by the colored people in Pu
laski. During the term, we en-
rolled 239 girls and had an average
daily attendance for the month of
February of 165. More girls at
tended school this term, and more
regularly, than ever before. OF
course, all this is highly gratifying
to the teachers, though we had
double work. We desire to express
20 the directors, parents and friends
our thanks for their confidence in
our integrity and appreciation of
our services during the past term.
We also express our unfeigned
thanks to you, Mr.. Editor, for
kindness shown in printing notilca
ton Of our entertainments. We
are your obedient servants.

Infanticide.

While Col. David II. Parsons
was crossing the Buford ford on
Richland creek Friday last he
discovered the foot of a chIld pro
truding from the water. He imme-
distely summoned assistance and
the body was removed to the bank,
when il was found to be that of a
well-formed and extremely pretty
male infant about ten days old
Around the little creatures neck
was a cord to which was attached a
stone weighing eight pounds. From
the appea rance of the body the
Child had been in the water only
q few hours. A coroner's jury was
summoned by Esq. TIdwell and an
inquest held, but nothing was elici-

Minor Hill.

Know all men by these presents,
that there is a place called Minor
Hill and furthermore the good peo-
pie thereabout are enjoying good
health, good water, good society
ETC., but as far as wheat is concern
ed they are not so fortunate, for
the crop is almost an entire failure.
Corn and cotton that have been
cultivated, look well. Some of our
farmers are rather in the grass, but
not on account of attending The
centennial, as some of your CORES
pondents would say. Ours took no
centennial in theirs. Fruit in this
section will make about half a crop.
Our district can boast of three
venerable citizens whose ages com
bined amount to two hundred and
fifty years. One of these, Uncle
Lewis Kiddy, helped to defend
Norfolk harbor against the British
and he never grows weary of talk
ing about it. He says it was glo
rious sight, the boats filed with
soldiers dressed in red uniforms
with their polished arms flashing in
the sun. The other Two, Uncle
Henry Kelly and Uncle Anderson
Hogan, also rendered valuable ser
vice in repelling the foreign invader,
and protecting the homes of the
early settlers from the red skins.
We cannot honor too highly the
gray hairs of such men, and it
should be our daily care to show
them that the young men OF the
rising generation are not unmind
full of the virtues and valorous
achievements of their ancestors.
Miss Ella Maultsby's school clos
ed Friday after a three months ses
sion, during which time she labored
zealously and successfully with her
pupils. She started in with several
scholars who were in their A, b,
Cs, and before the session closed
made fair readers of them. She is
young lady of scholarly attain
ments and possesses all the requisite
qualifications of a good teacher.
The people of Minor Hill are her
friends and their kind wishes will
accompany her wherever she may
go.
We have been overlooked by the
candidate to q great extent but sup
pose we will see something of him
before the election comes of.
