that is to say, not over 100000 bushels
of grain at one trip; and, as a rule, no
steamer can handle more than lao, 900
bushels at trip advantageously, and
that is not shipment large enough to
St cure the cheapest Transportation.
Unless, therefore, the whole system OF
barge transportation is completely rev.
Olutionized by the substitution of an
entirely different class of boats, which
are at the same time larger and easier
to handle, the boats are not likely to
meet with more than moderate sue
cess. Certainly there is no immediate
prospect of the commercial supremacy
of New York being shaken by them.

his demand while alive. This madam
was an ignorant peasant girl of great
personal beauty. She came out every
day in cavalcade, with her dress
decolette, her bosom and throat and
arms covered with diamonds, rubies
and precious stones, and her dress as
magnificent as the wife of a New York
politician in Tweed's time, while she
was preceded by household servants,
and followed by them. This was the

No Laughing Matter.

A well-known Canadian Iumberm an.
in making his way from Midland Har-
Dor. Lake Huron, to the mouth of the
Muskoka river, preceded his teamsters
TO sound the ice. Getting beyond the
islands along the east coast of the
Georgian bay, he found himself ex-
posed to the full force of northeastern
~ gale. He was thrown down and
blown toward Collingwood. Nothing
would stop him; sometimes on his
knees, sometimes on his back, some
times on his side, he was driven along
with fearful speed toward the open
water, as he supposed. For twelve
miles he rolled, tumbled, and slid help
less, till he was driven against a small
island and his life was saved. He has
scarcely smiled since.

Martin =. CONWAY.

Hon. Martin +. Conway, ex-member
of 'congress from Kansas, died on the
18th inst, at the government hospital
for the insane at Washington, in the
SD year of his age. Mr.. Conway, says
the Kansas City Journal, had some
what remarkable career of fortune and
misfortune. He was a native of
Charleston, S. c., and when fourteen
years of age, removed to Baltimore,
where he learned the printing business.
In 1852 we first hear of him as one of
the founders of the National Typo.
graphical Union. In 1854 he removed
to Kansas, where he at once took a
prominent place among the leading
Free State men. At the election held
on the Both of March, 1855. he was
chosen a member. of the Territorial
Council. On the Sd of July, of the
same year he resigned his seat. He
was leader in all the Free State conven-
tons of the Territory, and was a mem
Der of the Free State executive COM
mittee, appointed at the Big Springs
convention, held Sept. 5. 1855. At the
election held under the Topeka con-
vention in August, 1857, he was chos:.
en- judge of the supreme court. He
was president of the LeavenwOrth con-
stitutional convention, in 1858. At
the election held under the Wyandotte
constitution in 1859, he WAS elected to
congress. He was again elected in
1861, and was succeeded in 1862 by
Hon. A. G. Wilder. In 1866 President
Johnson appointed Mr.. Conway consul
to Marseilles, where he remained until
recalled by the administration Of Gen.
Grant in 1869. On his return to this
country he took up his residence in
Washington. On the 18th of October,
1873, meeting Senator Pomeroy on the
street, he fired three shots at him, Civ
ing him only a slight wound. For this
he was arrested, tried and committed
to the insane asylum; and there he re-
manned until the time of his death.
Martin F. Conway began his career
in the new territory of Kansas amid
most stirring scenes, and it promised
to be brilliant one, because he was a
gifted speaker, and, although southern
born, was an enthusiastic anti-slavery
man. This gave him a national repu-
tation. "Life went a-maying with ma
ture, hope and poesy, when he was
young" But, alas! men more rugged,
and perhaps more INSCRIPTIONS, crowd,
ed him out of the political arena. He
lost his popularity and went down.
Despair took hold of him; he became
but walking shadow, "llke a poor
player, that struts and frets his hour
upon the stage, and then is heard nc
more" Hundreds of old Kansans who
knew him in his better days must fee
shade of sorrow pass over their hearts
as they think of his sad ending.

Cooking Food For Animals.

western Eural-
The subject of cooking food for
animals is one which incites FREQUENT
inquiries, and one to which we nave
necessarily frequently referred. Like
most other questions it has two sides.
and those who have had experience
have some what different opinions M
on it, some of them being very seton
either side. 1t is matter, however,
of such Importance to the swine breed
ers especially as to make it worthy of
due deliberatioD. We have no doubt
whatever of the general utility of
cooking for hogs, although it is not
wholly without disadvantages. When
corn is cheap these disadvantages will
outweigh the advantages, and we
should feed the raw meterial; but
when the corn is dear, it will be to the
feeders interest to cook the feed.
To appreciate the utility of cooking
food, and to know what food to cook,
the process of digestion must be I'M
derstOod, at least so far as the office of
the stomach is concerned. We need
only make the suggestion that the
functions of that organ will be more
easily performed if what is taken into
it is rendered easily operated upon by
the gastric juice. If, for instance, a
stone be taken into the stomach, or the
pit of cherry, or anything of that
nature, the gastric juice cannot effect
its dissolution, and it will pass away
as it was taken in. Whatever there
fore is hard is difficult to dissolve, and
the difficulty is just in proportion to
the hardness of the material to be
operated upon. The hog it is true,
Overcomes this difficulty, by most
thorough masticatiOn. But corn
swallowed whole is pretty hard ma
terial, and more difficult Of digestion
than even when the smooth, hard
surface is broken by grinding. Corn
meal will digest much more readily
than whole corn. But all the time
that is wasted-if we may be allowed
to use the term-in digesting whole corn
is in a manner lost. The functions of
the stomach being performed with the
miximum of difficulty, the work is in
the nature of being exhaustive to that
organ, and the system is not being
supplied as rapidly with material for
fat making as it might be; and besides
this, as will easily be seen, it will re-
quire more food to effect the same
results, this last fact furnishing the
reason for cooking corn when the price
of corn is high.
The main object in cooking corn is
to soften it; and, therefore, what may
be said in favor of cooking would be
largely true, at least of any process
that would soften hard grain. We
have soaked corn in the ear for pigs,
with the most satisfactory results, and
steaming would answer like purpose.
At seasons when hogs can have free
access to grass, soaking the corn will
certainly do all that cooking it will do.
Winter is the time for cooking, if at
all.
In the great corn growing districts
when corn is cheap, we should not, as
already intimated, cook feed for swine
as i'll all other matters of life, the judg.
ment must be exercised, and above al
things it must not be expected that a
foOd-coOker will enable us to make a
fortune on one hog or hundred hogs
That cooking is affirmed to be good
thing does not mean that it is a bon.

Tobacco in the United States.

Anti-tobaccO agitatOrS have no lack
Of authoritative statistics upon which to
base their charges that the consump
ton of tobacco has reached a great
magnitude in this country. Mr.. J. B.
Killebrew, special agent on culture
and curing tobacco, has just issued his
report to General Walker, superintend-
ent of the census of 1880, in which he
gives the figures for the tobacco crop
of 1879, summary being as follows {:
Total acres cultivated. ......... 6SS,S41
Total pounds produced .472 ,661 1852
The acreage of the seven leading to-
baccO states is as follows: Kentucky,
226,120 acres; Virginia, 1907 acres,
North Carolina, 57,208 acres; Tonnes
see, 4l,533 acres: Maryland 3S,174
acres; Ohio, 34,676 acres; Pennsyl-
vania, 1856 acres. The total value
to the farmers of the tobacco produced
in the eighteen states where it is a
staple was $51,174,820, an amour.
which must have been doubled before
the tobacco left the hands of the manu-.
facturer and dealer for those of the
consumer. 1t appears, therefore, that
the nation devOtes a asst sum of money
annually to the production, manufacture
and marketing of the product which
confers no benefit, but which Injuries
the health, impoverishes the purse ard
makes foul the person of a multitude
of our citizens. Certainly the 1884
acres devoted to tobacco culture in
1879 might have been put to some bet
ter use.

Queen Victoria will shortly be a

her eldest daughter was married last
summer to German princess, and the

the young bride is about to become a

An Interesting Case.

The case of Fred. Barnes against
Wash Woodbury., Assessor Of White
Pine county, will be begun here in the
District Court to-day. Barnes has
cattle which range in White Pine
county. Last year these cattle were
assessed to him both in that county and
Eureka, and he was compelled to pay
the taxes on the property in both coun-
ties. He brings suit, now, to recover
the taxes he paid in White Pine county,
and to have it determined in which of
the two counties he will have to pay his
cattle tax in the future in other
words he proposes to recover onc-half
OF the double tax which he has paid,
and be relieved from this dOuble-shOt
hereafter 1t will be the first case Of
the sort ever tried in Nevada. Il Will
be interesting and important, as tcrding
to settle other controversies Of similar
nature now pending or likely to arise at
any time. 1t will Obviate the probable
necessity Of a suit which was about tC
be brought to determine the same ques-
ton az between Eureka and ElkO cOun-
ties, a gentleman It siding in this county
having number of mules running ont
for the present in ElkO county. The
question is, whether the personal prop
crty in cattle is accessible in the county
in which it is found or whether it fol-
lows the SitnS OF the owner who Is 4
resident of some other county. Barnes
is a resident Of Eureka county, and, as
has been said, his cattle range beyond
the line in White Pine county. The
defendant in the action Will dcmur on
the complaint of the plaintiff. The case
will be argued on demurrer before
Judge Rives. Whether the demurrer
be sustained or overruled the case will
be taken to the Supreme Court for ulti-
mate settlement. Messrs. Merrill &
Fitzgerald are counsel for the plaintiff
and Baker and Wines for the defendant

a seicI, Hans Suicide.

New YORK, April 3.-Cornelius j..
Vanderbilt, brother of VIM. H. Van
Cerbllt, shot himself at the Glenhom
Hotel, Fifth avenue, yesterday after
noon at . O'Clock, and died from the eff
fects of the wound at 6 o'clock. From
the time of the shooting until his death
Vanderbilt was unconscious. Many
friends of the dead man and members
of his family were present when he
passed away. The motive for the act as
given by friends is that it was the re
suit of mental arrangement brought on
by years of suffering from epileptic fits.
No other reason could be given, as his
financial affairs are said to be in most
prosperous coalition.

Some Virtue N Boston

1t is true the seventy-five Cinnamon
who came to North Adams, Mass, ten
years ago were fairly treated, and save
two or three severe fights between
vent caused but little trouble But
these seventy-five Cinnamon formed
less than one per cent. of the population
of North Adams. The Chinese in San
Francisco to-day, form about twenty
five per cent. of its population. They
live in houses which, in point of filth
and all that disease feeds upon, are
worse than the sewers of any east
ern city. AS people they have no
sympathy with our institutions, our laws
or our customs. Gambling and prosti-
tuition form the makeup Of Il large por-
ton Of their lives. If instead of
sevcnty-fve, three thousand Cinnamon
had made their advent into North
Adams, the people Of that thriving
town would feel to-day as the people OF
San Francisco feel towards these
hcathens. We therefore suggest that
the Boston Adrcrtistr search its files
for better argument than that recently
advanced to prop the sentimental Ron
sense Of topping Massachusetts sena-
torial greatness. Let Us put ourSoIvo,
in the position Of car fellow citizens in
San Francisco, nd then argue from the
interest Of the country rather than from
the interest ofthosc who never intend
to become citizens thereof -B0.}0n ,S',r.
