SWEET PorAro VINrs.-Our experie

SWEET PoTATo VINKs.-Our experience
is to cut sweet potato vines when they cover
the ground, leaving about twelve inches
near the root.--They are very hard to cure,
but with patience it may be done. But
the very best that can be done with them
is to feed green, when they make the very
best feed for horses, mules, COWS or hogs.
They.Are. thus fed, especially fine for milk
cows. After they have been frost bitten, it
will not pay to save them. They may be
piled up on fence or any othr place,
whore they will ventilate, and cure 10 from
week 70 ten days, but generally with the
loss Of the leaves. But the best time to
feed them is when they are green. In this
state they ought by all means to be fed.

Prudent Observation-Disclosures ars free
to admit that the Democratic majority in Con-
to be drawn into political debate. One of them
said last night that the extra session came year
too soon. At that session the Democrats blum
dered, and went home condemned and humilia-
ted. The Republicans, flushed with victory, re-
enacted the role Of their Democratic brethren
and were anxious TO renew . fight from which
they had plucked such honors. But they for
got that in the fight Of this session they had
changed place with tho Democracy and them
selves became the aggressors and peace destroy
srs. That they have lost st every step there can
be no kind Of doubt. The same wisdom which
has characterized the management Of the De-
mocrscy In Congress has marked its proceedings
elsewhere.

RATooN CorroN.--Last Winter was so
mild that many Of the cotton stalks were
not killed below the surface Of the ground.
As consequence, in many Of the fields n
good deal OF ratoon cotton has sprung up
this year. We have been shown several
specimens taken from the field of Mr.. G..
NJ. Mathis, and some Of them have shoots
that are over six inches long, aud are COW
cred with forms for flowers. Whether or
not these shoots from an old root win pro.
duce as much cotton as now plant, We
cannot say; but 90 far ~ the growth goes
now, It Is decidedly In favor OF the ratoon.

A PETRIFIED BoDY.-A remarkable in.
stance Of petri6cation of human body has
been discovered in the Philanthropic Cemete-
ry, on Passayunk avenue, near Cross street.
During the disintermsnt on Wednesday of
the remains of Police Officer VIM. Blan-
ford, who died June II, 1874, of paralysis,
and his wife, Mrs. Rebecca Blanford, who
died February 18th last, of lung disease,
for removal, it was found that the former
resisted the efforts of four persons to raiso
it to the surface. After it was disinterred
under the supervision of son of the de-
ceased, the case containing the coffin was
examined. 1t was not in the slightest de-
gree decayed, but was as fresh-looking and
solid as on the day of interment, six years
ago. The coffin was equally we'll preserved,
and showed no evidence, whatever, of hav-
ing been below the surface, and the silver
plate and trimmings on it were untarnished.
The lid of the casket was removed and the
remains of Mr.. Blanford found to be in an
almost perfect state. The clothing in which
the corpse had been buried was mouldy,
and the lining of the casket partially de-
stroyed, but the flesh had changed into q
yellowish.white substance, having the ap-
pearance Of marble. The eyes were sunken
and lost to view, the lips were partially gone
and the had was devoid of hair, but 9TH
erwise the features and form were perfect,
even to the beard which the deceased wore
on the lower part of his face during life
The corpse weighed nearly FIVE hundred
pounds, or over three times as much as
when inferred. Mr.. Blanford was "a years
old at the time Of his death, and while his
remains were SO wonderfully preserved, those
Of his wife, buried three months ago, were
undergoing . natural process of decay
Both were reinterred in tho family lot in
Mt. Moriah Cemetery. The siDguarly
natural condition of Mr.. Blanford's body is
attributed to the dampDess Of the earth in
which it had been resting, in the northwest
portion of the cemetery, and similar cases
have been discovered there within the past
four years.-Phizadelphia Times.

A YOUNG FiEND.

The facts connected with the incen-
diary fire at Claysville, Pennsylvania,
caused by young mans attempt to fire
his fathers house and burn his rela-
tives, SO that he would acquire possess
ion of his parents property, are given
as follows: James Worrel, the son,
and perpetrator of the unnatural crime,
was studying for the ministry, and a
few evenings before the fire led the
services at prayer meeting. 1t seems
that his desire for money had become a
mania with him. Some time preceding
the fire he stole several of his fathers
sheep and sold the pelts, and then in
nocently helped his father search for
the sheep. A short time after the
house was robbed of several hundred
dollars, James claiming to have lost
two dollars by the robbery, to blind
his folks. 1t is now learned that his
five sisters were locked in their rooms,
and after the house was set ON fire by
James, one of the girls escaped and fled
to warn the neighbors, who arrived in
time to rescue the rest of the family
1t is stated that young Worren tried
topoison the family some time before.
He then escaped to Ohio, being assisted
in his flight by his father, who through
all has tried hard to shield his SON from
the Indignation of his neighbors.

RAlsr.:LLs TO ORDER.

General Daniel Ruggles, of Virginia,
has been granted patent for precipi-
tating rainfalls by scientific means. He
recently appeared before the Senate
Committee on Agriculture and ex-
planned his method of making rain fall.
1t is to send to the clouds cartridges Of
dynamite in skeleton balloons, and to
explode them by fires or electricity.
The inventor, who has devoted years
to the study and investigation of the
subject, claims that the difused mists
passing over arid regions or localaties
suffering from unusual drought, may
readily be consolidated into rainfall by
conclusions and vibrations artificially
produced ia the atmosphere. The
committee listened attentively to Gen
eral Ruggles' statements, and requested
him to prepare memorial on the sub
iect, with view to their 5aking it
more fully into consideration, and per-
haps recommending an appropriation to
test its merits.
1t las been frequently asserted that
great battles, in which there are heavy
discharges of artillery, are always fol-
loved by rain storms. Ii such is the
t it is possible the explosion of dy-
Mantle or gun powder in the CLIQUE
realms may precipitate rain. In this
event rains can be produced to order at
comparatively small expense, probably
much less than the cost of irrigating,
and reservoirs, dams and bitches for
ir.lgating purposes will become obso-
lete. The arid deserts of Nevada can
then be made to blossom like the rose
Every settlement will have its appa-
ratus for producing showers, and the
question of rain or no rain will be de-
cided by majority vote, of the farm
ers, or by returning boards, as elections
for officers are at present. Town
meetings called to decide whether or
not shower is necessary at a gwen
time, Will be appealed to by Brown,
whose crop is not quite ripe, to let it
rain, while Jones, whose grain is ready
for the reaper, viii argue against a
SHOWER. Snow storms, which now con-
stitute the farmers only hope of fur
nishing water for his crops, will be
looked for with less interest, and Ne
vada, now the most sterile and unpro-
ductive State in the Union, will not be
surpassed by Indiana or Illinois as a
grain producing State.

ADJOURNMENT.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-yery general
opinion in congressional circles to-day is
that congress will not adjourn on the 3lst.
Some Of the most influential members OF
the appropriation committee, before which
is pending the house adjournment resoIu-
ton, thiak the session will continue at
least two, and perhaps three weeks longer.
Complications are multiplying from day to
day. Action Of the senate on the joint rule
for counting the electoral vote, together
with the unsettled condition of the mar
shals question, will undoubtedly cause
much delay This will probably afford OPP
poitunity for at least advancing important
measures Of general legislation.
