SIX Hundred Victims OF whIskeY.
Alta California.

The Corwin during her voyage to
Alaska landed on st. Lawrence Is
land, having orders to investigate
the wholesale starvation Of the ma
tives. At the first village at which
they landed, all were dead so also
at the second, where fifty-four dead
bodies were counted, nearly all full
grown males. Atanother place 100
persOns-meD, women and children
were dead. Al the next settle
meut twelve dead bodies, and at the
following, thirty were found. All
the inhabitants ON the north side OF
the island, where whiskey traders
sold liquor, are dead-nOt one es-
Gaping. The general starvation oc-
Cured two years ago last winter.
Since then the presence of the Cor
win in the Arctic has broken up this
inhuman whiskey trading. The
empty whiskey kegs are seen strewn
all about. The survivors say that
white traders from Honolulu sold
whiskey, which the natives bought,
and got drunk, remaining so through
the season for laying in their winter
supply of walrus and seal.

Kidding the Land OF Stumps.

We have frequently noticed that per-
sons when clearing land make brush
pile over a green stump, with the ex-
pectation, apparently, that they were
pursuing the right course to etlectuaIly
rid the land OF its presence immedi-
ately, while, in fact, no better means
could be resor,ed to in order to insure
its indefinite preservation. 1t has been
the experience of the writer that Il
stump should never be fired until it has
become sufficiently seasoned to in
sure its entire consumption, else the
charred remnant becomes imperyious
to the action of the elements, and it
will remain troublesome customer to
deal with for long years after.
These thought are suggested from a
quite recent experience in dealing with
some very "old settlers which the
hands on the farm wished to fire several
years back, and were only prevented
from doing so by positive command
to the contrary. BY little patient
waiting we are gratied with seeing
"the places which once knew them know
them no more forever This is one
plan of treatment.-BT,iHgtoR Ha10G.

When to Feed Corn for Fattening
Hogs.

The results vary, according to breed,
care, shelter, etc. Store hogs that are
of q good breed and healthy, should,
according to experiments repeatedly
tried, lay on a pound of additional
weight for every five pounds and six
tenths of pound of sound corn they
eat. A contemporary has verified this
estimate to be true. Thus one bushel
of corn-a part meal and fed rs slop,
and part in the ear or shelled--all
the animal will eat, should make ten
pounds add tional weight, and ten
bushels of corn will represent 100
pounds of pork. Upon this basis the
following conclusion is reached: 1t pays
when corn is worth thirty cents per
bushel, to convert it into pork when it
sells for SO per 100 pounds as the ma
nure will abundantly pay for the care,
when properly saved, When corn is
forty cents, pork should sell at 81 per
100 pounds; corn at fifty cents, pork So;
sixty cents, pork Sc; corn seventv-fve
cents, pork should sell at $3.50. When
corn is worth $l.5O pork must sell ut
SD per 100 pounds. If the pork sells
for less than is represented by the cor
responding price of corn it is fed at a
loss; if more, the advance is proat--in
each case regarding the manure as pay
for the trouble.
Fattening is accomplished most profit
ably as the cool weather of autumn adj
yances, with good shelter and warm
quarters in which to lie The feeding
place should be kept clean, and corn
in the ear or shelled fed night and
morning, as much as they will eat up
clean, and slop of meal at noon with
pure, clean water night and morning,
The fatter they become, the closer
their quarters may pc. In the early
stages OF fattening they need room for
exercise, with wheat bran, charcoal and
sulphur occasionally to keep them in
condition and increase the size of bone
and muscle, for when quite heavy they
need only lest. 49, Prairie Farmer.

A TENNESSEE low-tax organ pre-
diets that the next fight in this State
will be between the Republicans,
railroad companies, bondholders and
stalwart Democrats on one side, and
the Democratic party and the people
on the other" This is what the Paris
Post says. We presumed that in the
term "people," as used by the Post,
Republicans, stalwart Democrats and
bondholders are not included. The
low-tax organs are getting up big
fight, and imagine themselves
to be heroes in the strife. Don
Quixote, in his imaginary conflicts
with all manner of evil things, was a
fair specimen of these gallant knights
of the quill, and the way they are
going to demolish the enemies is
sight to think of. We trust they will
equip themselves for the occasion,
armed with javelins, mounted on
fierce chargers and arrayed in all the
paraphernalia of knighthood. Let
the people only have an opportunity
to see their noble defenders, and
they may retire to their beds at
night, fully assured that they have
nothing to fear from the wicked
Republicans, awful stalwar's or
rapacious bondholders. We move
that Colonel Savage be selected as

TUESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1881.

The protracted illness Of President
Garfield has brought out consideras
BILE discussion on a question never
before discussed to any extent.
There has never been a decision of
the Supreme Court OF any act of
Congress defining the real meaning
of the inability" of the President
which makes the Vice President the
President Of the United States.
Some papers insist that the time has
come when the Vice-President should
assume the duties of the Chief
Executive. If the President should
remain PROSTATE many weeks longer,
the question will assume much
greater Importance. There are Ger
tain acts required of the President,
among them the exercise OF the par.
doning power, the withholding OF
which might result, not only in great
inconvenience, but in absolute in
justice. But it appears to us that a
way might de devised by which all
these difficulties could be avoided.
If such things were referred to the
Cabinet, and they should decide that
action was imperatively neces-
sary, we see nothing, while the
Presidents mind is clear, to
prevent him from being informed
of such decision, when it could be
done in his name, just as if he had
personally made the investigation
without injustice to any one. He
would be acting on the judgment
of his Cabinet, but he and the
country has confidence in theil
Judgment We sincerely trust that
with the improved condition of the
weather which we have reason tc
expect soon, he may speedily re-
cover, and that there may be nc
necessity for a hurried settlement
of the question. 1t will, however
be well for Congress to take the
question into consideration at its
next session.

the other an engraving by Cole, of

breezy article by ". Fl. Rideing, en-
titled "The English at the Sea-
side" describing several famous
watering places-Southport, Brigh-
ton, Hastings and Margate-with
twelve illustrations by G, S. Rein

Another summer article Of re-
markable interest is Mr.. E. Ii.
Ropes's on the The Thousand Isl
ands. The subject has the enchant-
ments of Lotus Land; and among
the illustrations is an excellent por~
trait of DR.. J. G. Holland, engraved
by Cole.
The association of President GAR
fild with Williams College adds a
timely interest to Mr.. M. 81 Egle>

tons is remarkably fine portrait of

the startling revelations made in g
