WAsnSeToN, March 2O.-The Senate
Committee on the Judiciary is holding
under advisement the nomination OF L. L.
Lewis to be U, S. District Attorney for the
Eastern district Of Virginia. Lewis is the
present District Attorney, but was lately
elected by the Virginia Legislature Judge
of the Of Court Of Appeals, but as he does
not take his seat until January
next, he has been renominated
to fill his present office until
that time. lie was, however, sometime
since engaged in duel, and on this &C.
count some OF the members Of the Com.
mittee on Judiciary arc opposed to his
confirmation. It is said that Lewis much
prefers his present Office to the one to
which he has been elected, although the
honor and emolument OF the latter are
much greater. By the way, the Readjusters
of Virginia are growing somewhat inpa-
tient over the fact that theNare receiving no
foreign appointments, and large numbers
Of them are in the city urging that their
claims in this direction be considered.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Since its intro
duction Mr.. Perry Belmont has been max.
ing IN attempt to get modification of his
resolution proposing a more thorough in
vestigation of the Chill and Peruvian af-
fairs. The resolution, If carried:out to its
fullest scope, will keep the committee here
all summer and perhaps later into the TALL.
Mr.. Belmont intended nothing OF this
kind, but as he was impertinent enough to
introduce the resolution without consulting
the committee or his Democratic col
leagues upon it, he finds no alternative ex-
cept to let it stand or back squarely out OF
his position. The members OF the com.
mittee refuse to aid him in any sort Of a
graceful modification, and since certain in
sinuations have been made against the
committee they insist that they will carry
out the terms Of the resolution il it keeps
them to the opening Of the next session

Unusually Large supplies OF Early
Vegetables In the New York Nnrf.af

NEw YORK, March 2O-The open winter
bas had the good effect OF supplying our
city markets with nearly all kinds Of
southern vegetables fully month earlier
than usual. Leading men in the trade say
the Virginia farmers and gardeners expect
TO ship at least % per cent more "truck"
this season than they did last year, and as
the receipts thus far this month have ex-
ceeded those for the whole OF March and
April last year, the expectation is not an
extravagant one. As might be expected
prices under these circumstances favor the
consumer. Most descriptions of fruit and
vegetables are us cheap now Ms they
usually are in June or July. Kaie sells at
81 per barrel, spinach from 81 so to s.,
radiShesSl per hundred punches, and ali
other products In proportion. This time
last pearthese prices were from p to so
per cent higher. The value of southern
vegetables raised for the New York market
in 1880 is estimated by competent au.
thorities at aout S5,OOO,O6O. This year It
is believed the total will not be below
IS, 900 900.

Sailing Stock.

Colonel Curtis writes: Our practice
has been for years to keep tight box
under the shed in the barnyard, in which
there is a constant supply of salt. The
cows help themselves to this, eating as
much as they like winter and summer.
The salt being always accessible. the cat
tie are never salt hungry. and conse-
quently never eat too much, thereby
causing unusual thirst, which is the case
when they are fed salt periodically. In
winter this is injurious, hence we cannot
recommend the practice of putting brine
on straw to induce the cattle to eat it in
order to get the salt, because the effect
Is to create an unnatural thirst. When
stock have free access to salt they taste
q little every day. which gives tone to
the stomach and helps to make q steady
and healthful appetite. We use coarse
salt, .preferring it to the fine. as it does
not dissolve so readily and does not alb
sorb moisture so freely, which causes 4
to waste. We have used rock salt but
gave it up on account Of its high price.
The coarse salt answers just as well,' not
costing half as much, and not dissolving
much faster. Our salt box does not

month. which is quite saving of time
rs compared with the system Of sailing
occasionally; besides there is no forget
ting. In summer time tight box is
placed in the field and salt put into it for
the cattle to help themselves. A rain
falling into the box does no harm, as it
only dissolves the salt and the stock
take a lick of the brine instead of the
salt. As the salt does not evaporate
(only the water from the heat of the
sun. there is no loss. This plan of salt
ing stock is the least trouble and tha
most economical and the safest.-Can.
