Tom COrWin'S canvass.

An Anecdote by General Garfield
When Corwin was nominated for con-
gress he had no more idea of al election
than the dead. But he went out to canvass
on horseback, through the settlements from
log cabin to log cabin and solicit votes.
His competitor was almost sure of his
election, for the district Was strongly with
his party. One night Corwin stopped ct a
log hut, where all the family ate, slept and
the simple habits Of that day. The occu-
pant was democrat and Corwin said he
never dreamed Of getting his vote. But that
night, as they gathered round the freside,
he asked the fellow if he knew Mr., his
competitor. WALL" replied the farmer,
Il rather guess l do--Ill never vote for
HIM" This was sensation to Corwin.
He was now ON the trail of something that
might prove beneficial in his canvass
something he might use at his next meeting
to set the house in roar. May ask your
reason for not voting for him." said Mr..
Corwin; IT am sure Mr.--is good old
.ocofocc." "Waal,," drawled the old man.
you see it was this way. He was here
one night just as you be tonight, and mann
and went into that ar be d right there, and
he into this bed right here. Afore he got
in he stopped down as if he was o gwine to
pray. 'Hishtp says I, mann, our Con-
gresham is kinder pious.' Jist then he
opens his saddlebags, and peeped out to see
what it WAS, and I'll be COLL
darned if it wasn't shirt, and
into it he elm and popped into bed, and
iist looked like en ole woman for all the
world. You and T." droned the farmer.
Mr.. Corwin. works hard all day IN our ole
shnts, and they is all fired sweaty some
times, but we thinks nothin' Of sleepin' in
'em. But that dalned cuss is so aristocrat-
ic that he hez to put On airs and kerry his
wife's shirt around with him. I'll never
vote for no SIGH man." Tom had it. He
slept little that night. Next day he went
forth on his errand of drumming up crowd
for his night meeting. Night after night he
told that yarn to crowds, who serenaded
itswlth yells of laughter. Tom carried the
district and went to CONGRESS. While Tom
Corwin was telling that very story and just
| as he reached the climax and was on his
feet vociferatirg that comical speech
about the shirt, his head dropped little,
his countenance turned ashy and he start
ed to fall, but 1 caught him in my arms,
| and so Tom Corwin died.

Mark Twain Introduces Mr.. Forbes.

Mr. Archibald Forbes delivered his Lecture
on THE Inner Life OF q War Corresponds

ing introduced to the audience by Mark
Twain as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t seems Pc
culiarly fitting and appropriate that a
soldier shonld Introduce soldier to his au-
dienee. I exercise this function by this
authority, for assure you am not unao-
quainted with the grim sublimities of war,
l having served during more than two years
now as honorary member of the Con-
necticut militia; and in that time have dared
all that they have dared, suffered ell that
they have suffered-fought, bled, and died;
so can speak as gallantly as the best Of
them. Why was not invited to 20 to
Charleston and Atlanta with my
regiment the other day, can
not explain-counting out possible
professional jealousy. would have gone
there with heart filed with the purest,
most disinterested, and unsel6sh motives
mot as some others did, simply to get
new suit of clothes for nothing. But a
truce to military heart burnings and in
justices. Let them 90 with the perishable
past. My Office now is only to make you
acquainted with an English gentleman,
whom you all know perfectly man who
has heard the roar Of battle in widely sep
arated lands, man whose record is cell
ebrated in war, and with the pen; man
who has fairly earned, not merely once, but
several times, the rarely granted badge Of
bravery, the Victoria Gross; man. who has
smelled the breath Of dissolution on
many a field, and who is as familiar
with 1t as the genius who, from the dome
of the capitol, presides over the malarious
region all about her-Mr. Archibald Forbes,

Winter Care OF Fowls.

From the Country Gentleman
In building hen house the requirements
of the fowls are always to be considered;
these are warmth, light, fresh air, an earth
-four, and sufficient space to avoid crowding
and allow of freedom, as hen will not do
we'll at laying unless she is contented.
Hence there must be space, not only
in ground surface for freedom,
but height for better ventilation
as we'll, the windows 80
arranged, and Of number and size, as to
admit copisus air in. summer. There are
needed in winter row Of low windows on
the south side for light, doubling the sash
in winter; this is necessary for warmth, aud
does it effectually, as it forms dead air
chamber, single glass admitting cold with
out any be netit from the air. II the build
ing otherwise is we'll fortified against the
cold, aud double sash well fitted is used,
with dry earth floor, fowls will do well if
q good breed for winter laying, like the
Asiatics, and we'll taken care IF, the care to
be constant and required more in winter
than in summer. Fresh water must be
supplied, with variety of food, including
occasional feeds of vegetables and meat of
some kind, corn being the principal grain,
affording heat as we'll as substance for eggs.
Managed in this way hens will keep in
good condition, remain healthy and free
from vermin; il the stalt is all right, build
ing, site, and fowls clean, and kept so
more by prevention than cure.

An American Hotel in L0ndn0.

From the Albany Argus
Mr.. Alfred j. Dobson, formerly of New
York, but now of London, arrived in this
city few days ago, bearing with him the
plans of a celiosal hotel to be erected in
London. These plans were submitted to
Sir. Charles E. Leland, and he was asked
to assume the management of the buad-
ing when it is finished. Yesterday that
gentleman signifed his intention of accept
ing the offer, and the work Of erection
will rapidly go on. The new hotel will
stand upon one Of the most commanding
and attractive sites in London. The sit
uation is upon the Victoria embankments,
o short distance from CLaring Cross Station,
and within few hundred yards of the
houses of parliament, Westminster Abbey,
and the fashionable theatres of the city.
The building will face partly upon white
hall-place and partly upon new road soon
to be opened by the government. The rear
from the windows Of the house
a magnificent view will be
had both up and down the Thames. Ad-
Joining the site are the residences of various
wealthy peers, and the gardens attached to
their palaces will be Q most pleasing feature.
Between the site selected for the house
and the Thames river is a beautiful park,
adorned with a fine statue of Sir James
Outran. The hotel will occupy an area of
$4,000 square feet, and its Dimensions will
be 400 feet upon the river and 22O upon
Whitehall place. It will be nine stories in

ton for ], 200 or 1900 guests. To fulfill
the terms of the contract upon which the
land was secured, terrace 30 feet in width
and the length OF the house 600 feet will
be constructed in the rear. The cost of
the structure, when finished, will exceed
ST. ,O0O. 900, and the furniture $750,000.
It will be the only hotel in Europe strictly
American. and it is intended especially for
visitors from this country. Mr.. Leland
will take with him his Chef, barkeeper and
walters. The house will not be finished

WONDERFUL VITALITY.
A Young Lady With 400 Shots and Pieces Of
Corset In Her Body Still Lives.

A Young Lady With 900 Shots and Pieces of
Corset In Her Body Still Lives.
From the New York Herald.
There is at present every prospect Of the
recovery of Miss Melinda T. Jacobus, who
was shot by her lover at Peru, N. j., on the
25th of October last. 1t will be remem-
bered that John Fl. Wolfe, young man
from Jersey city, who had for some time
been paying attention to Miss Jacobus,
called on her that day md playfully point
ed a.gun at her. She told him it was load
ed, but he did not heed the warning, and
the cum went off, lodging q
charge of shot in the right side
Of Miss Jacobus. The physicians who We're
summoned pronounced the case necessarily
fatal, and did not even think that Miss
Jacobus would linger more than an hour or
two. Instead Of that she is still alive, and
the case is attracting considerable attention
among the medical fraternity of New Jersey.
The wound was about nine inches in diam
eter, but the greater portion of this was
oriice was two and half inches long and
two inches wide. The tenth and eleventh
ribs were fractured, and portions of the
bone carried into the body. The hung was
perfornted, the full charge striking tho low.
er portion Of it and lacerating it
terribly. Besides the bones Of the
ribs portions of the clothing and
corset--a part of tie whale
bone Of the latter--were shot into tine
body, and, it is the opinion of the physi-
clans, clear through the lung. The gun was
loaded with charge of $50 duck shot, So that
still about 200 remain. None of the pieees
of dress or whaleboDs have yet protruded.
For a few days after tho shooting the wound
discharged air from the lungs, which is
sued, with a gurgling noise, but this has
ceased and the young lady is apparently
doing we'll. No signs ofpy@mia have set
in and the wound is gradually closing up.
The dead flesh is sloughing Off and the
young lady's strength is aiding the healing
considerably. At first Wolfe visited Miss
Jacobus and insisted on her promising to
marry him. but she became so excited that
the physician prohibited Ler seeing him
again.

Sheep should have all the salt they want
at all times, and careful shepherds place it
in long narrow troughs, or boxes under
cover where the sheep can help themselves.
But when you wish TO feed sulphur
give the sheep salt twice week, Or once

allow a teaspoonful to each animal. A lit
tie more will do no harm. II you have
your salt troughs, then scatter sulphur
over the salt and mix in little once aweek.

sledges nor pedestrians can pass. The
moment we discard the theory Of the open

no foundation outside of the IMAGINATION
of theorists of the Symmes variety-we are
shut up to the conclusion that the north
pole can never be reached"
