DIR. Thompson, of Union, S. c., is
trying the experiment of keeping green
food for his stock during the winter, by
burying it in pit prepared for that pur-
pose. The pit is about ten feet square
and planked up to within about four feet
of the top of the ground. This pit he
has filled with green pea vines, corn,

are cut up with q feed cutter and packed

The next President will probably
have it in his power to appoint majori-
ty of the Judges of the United States Su-
preme Court. Justices Hunt and Gilt.
ford are suffering from paralytic strokes,

main upon the bench much longer, even
though they partially recover health.
Justice Swayne is rs years old and Jus.
tice Strong is 70. It is said that both
ofthem contemplate retiring as they have
the right to do. Justice Miller has been on
the bench twenty years, and is IS years
ofage. He, too, has the right to retire.
Justice Brady is 67, and will probably
remain on the bench for some years yet.
From this it appears that should the par.
ty which succeeds the present admins
tration in power desire to effect change
in the Supreme Court, it can be done
without the necessity oflegistion to that
end.

costs him nothing. If be should remain
in Columbus this winter, and send his
message by mail, he would clinch his
autumnal savings in way no one here
would find fault WITH Washington Star.
= There is Joy in Burmah just now,
for one of King Theebaw's consorts has
quite recently presented that monarch
with a SON. Mother and child are doing
we'll. The happy father is so elated by
the achievement of his spouse, Su Hpa-
yah Lat, that he has announced his in
tentior to wed her younger sister forth
with. AS he has put to death nearly all
his relatives having any claim to the
succession, his Majesty cannot be too
fervently congratulated upon the acqui-
sition of an heir, from cutting whose
throat he will probably be deferred by
the feelings of father and the interests
of dynasty.
Some mention has been made of the
efforts to introduce Chinese labor
into Louisiana by the planters of that
State. Movements have been actively
made to ship Chinese laborers from Gu
ba, and arrangements had been made for
several ship loads. But the Chinese
consul at Havana appears to be acting in
concert with the Spanish authorities to
throw obstacles in the way. The Spanish
officials charge four dollars to each Chinee
named for passport, and the Chinese
