Aquatic Matters.

The new Potomac boat-house is under
contract TO be done in thirty days from March %,
at an expense of $500. This win be the finest
boat-house in the District, and for size and COM
fort will compare with any in the country. There
win be reception and retiring rooms for ladies: q
ball room, 40 by so feet, and spacious balcony. 60
by 81 feet. 1t is the purpose to give regatta and
house-warming to the many friends of the club as
soon as the structure is completed which will for
mally open the house, although crews and single
sculers have been out and intend opening the sea-
son as soon as weather permits.
The chances for holding the annual regatta of
the National Association of Amateur oaIslnen at
this place is very good, and the committee having
the preliminary matters in charge are working
hard to that end. The other clubs show activity,
and the season will undoubtedly be one of IN
usual interest.

keeping with the general character of the Capital
and with the spirit of the times For several years
there has been talk about the possibility of such
an opera house being erected, and proposition
has been made to build one by subscription
4 number of gentlemen have now interested them
selves in the matter and there is probability THAT
something will be accomplished speedily. Mr.. W.
W. Corcoran has made liberal Offer with the view
of having the opera house built on the ground at
the corner Of Vermont avenue and street, adjoin-
ing the Arlington Hotel. The johnson Mansion
now occupying the site named, would of course
have to be torn down. Max Strskosch, the we'll
known manager, is interested in the pro-
ject. The building, it is said, will be erected
entirely by New York capitalists. Plans for the
building have been perfected by Architect J. l..
Smithmeyer Il is TO have an ornamental front
with porte cocberes on both Vermont avenue and
Istreet. The general public entrance for pedes-
TRANS is to be at the corner, with separate en-
trance for the gallery. On the first floor are to be
eloak-rooms and all the appointments of an ele-
CANT opera house or ballroom. On the second
floor, communicating with the dress circle, there
will be salons Apartments will also be provided
for rehearsals. The interior, or auditorium,
is planned on a magnificent scale The orchestra,
dress circle, and galleries will have capacity of
seating 1900 people-400 more than the Grand
Opera House of Paris will accommodate. Pro-
vision is also made for thirty-t private boxes.
The stage will be larger than any in this country
and the whole theatre will be SO arranged that the
orchestra can be hoored over, so as to turn the
auditorium into q ball room. The avenues and
parks in the vicinity of The opera house will afford
unusual opportunities for parking carriages. The
gentlemen interested hope to begin the work Of
construction early this year, and have the build
ing completed before next winter. The entire cost
of the structure proposed VIII be between 500 600

England's Domestic Troubles.

THE calling together of the English
Parliament q month earlier than the
date to which it had been prorogued is
undoubtedly caused by the Irish dis
t,lrbances. Mr. Gladstone's circular,
summoning the M. Ps. to meet on jan
nary 6, announces that important bust
ness will be entered upon as soon as they
assemble. The session promises to be
the most momentous one since that
which saw the repeal of the corn laws.
The Government will at once grapple
with the Irish question, and will una
voidably get into stormy waters. 1t is
certain that nothing it can do will placate
the Land League, and it is not probable
that any measure the Ministry may pro-
pose will receive the hearty support of
the Conservatives, unless, indeed. it be
in the direction of coercion. Mr.. Bright
has expressed his opinion that force is
no remedy" 1t may be no remedy for

Care of Winter Fodder.

Agood deal is now being said through
the agricultural press about ''silos'' and
the preservation of winter fodder in a
green state. But while this new matter
is agitated, there are doubtless some
who fail to take proper care of their
corn-fodder when preserved in a dry
state. COrnstalks make excellent feed
when preserved in fresh and bright
condition; but when allowed to become
weather. beaten and black they are very
inferior. No thrifty farmer cares to
have his hay spoiled by exposure; and
any person who properly appreciates
the value of cornstalks will see that they
are well harvested and stored.
Some of the causes which tend to rem
der corn fodder less valuable than it
might be otherwise are the neglect to
cut the corn when green enough, the
injury sustained by leaving it exposed
to the weather, and from feeding it in
long or uncut state. The advantages of
cutting corn sufficiently early need only
be seen to be appreciated. When cut
sufficiently green, and stored as soon as
possible, the leaves remain almost in
tact, and of a bright, inviting color.
They are then readily eaten, and rel
ished by stock. But when the stalks are
allowed to remain until dry before cut
ting, the leaves become detached and
discolored with the weather, and they
are not relished nearly as well. The
value of stalks kept under shelter will
readily be seen after a trial.
The use of fodder cutter in prepar-
ing stalks for feed, especially when they
are long and coarse, is a great advan-
tage and source of economy, and also
adds greatly to the ease of handling the
manure. Stalk-cutters are now made in
many styles, and are well suited to the
purpose, cutting fast and evenly.
The practice of husking corn while it
is standing in the field, and allowing the
stalks to remain until late before cutting,
is one always to be deprecated when
good fodder is wanted.
When the fineness of the fodder is an
important consideration in raising
crop of corn, it is doubtless great ad-
vantage to plant a variety which pro-
duces small stalks. In that case, when
small-stalked variety can be found
that will give satisfactory results in the
yield of grain, we should say it was
worthy of a trial. But of course where
the grain is the main object in view, it
matters but little about the stalks.
Large stalks are decided disadvantage
in feeding, being hard to cut, and the
large, heavy butts, often one-and-a-
quarter inches in diameter on rice
lands, are of but little use as food.
The eminent DIR. Nichols, of New
England, once said that one bushel of
New England corn on the ear, ground,
is equivalent in nutritive value to one
bushel of shelled Western corn, ground.
This would seem to be an argument in
favor of the production of the New
England corn, if it would in all cases
yield as well as the coarse-growing vari-
cites. But the fact that nearly or quite
all the large corn-producing sections
grow the latter varieties would seem to
prove that they are, on the whole, the
most desirable and pro6table.-C0r. Ez-
Gnss,aer and Chronicle.
