THE MINNIE PALMER COMPANY
left the city to-day for Grand Rapids,
to fulfill an engagement there. Miss
Palmer was completely prostrated yester-
day from the shock caused by the death of
Mrs. Gilbert and the terrible injuries re-
ceived by Mr.. Gilbert, member of her
company. The latter's mother and sister
arrived from Chicago, and are in attend
ance upon the sufferer. They are in
very poor circumstances, and depend
ent on the son and brother for
support. Mr.. Rogers, the manager of the
company, received a telegram last even
ing from Mrs Gilbert's father, W. NJ. Sut-
ton, of Steuben county, N. Y, to send the
body of his daughter to her home. The
Minnie Palmer company will give bene-
fit next Monday evening at Detroit, the re-
ceipts to be devoted to defraying the fu-
neral expenses of the unfortunate young
wife, and for the care of her husband.
Lawyers have been engaged in several
cases, by friends and relatives of the lost
ones to look up the law, place the response

COMMENCE CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.
One attorney stated that the mere fact
of not keeping ropes in each room, as re-
quired by the state law, rendered the
proprietors liable, and that they
would be probably prosecuted.
The feeling that some one is to blame and
should be punished, is the intense popular
sentiment. To-day consultation of ply
sicians was held to diagnoses the case Of
Theo. B. Elliott, which resulted in finding
that one arm and one leg were broken, that
he had received internal injuries, but not
to an extent to cause alarm. DR.. Gray
said that he thought the chances were
favorable for his recovery, and
that he was resting easy since the setting
Of his broken limbs. Mr.. Elliott is
prominent Odd Fellow, and is at present
grand representative from Wisconsin in
the sovereign grand lodge of the order.
The present estimates of the loss OF life
are between eighty-fve and 100, of which
number fifty or sixty are undoubtedly bur
led il the ruins.

sMALL-soULED ALDERMEN.
In the midst of numerous expressions of
sympathy and offers of aid for sufferers
from all parts of the Union the common
council, this afternoon, engaged in a dis
graceful action, squabbling over the ex-
penses for the rescue of the dead bodies,
some members even demanding to quit
work if the stockholders of the Newhall
House association should not be willing to
reimburse the city. The scene created in
dignation amounting to threats wherever
it became known, and to be

GREEN CORN FOR PIGS.
(American Agriculturist.]


In the summer and early fall feed.

corn one of the best and most con.
venient kinds of fodder. Pork is
made to the best advantage by put.
ting the pigs, as soon as they are
weaned from the SOW and have
learned to eat milk and meal, into
the pen, ana keeping them there un.
der full feed until they are ready for
slaughter in November or December.
With a good breed of swine there is
no difficulty in making March pigs
weigh from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred pounds at eight or
nine months old. With plenty of
Indian meal and skinned milk they
will grow rapidly until the corn is
large enough for cutting. About the
first of August this should be given
as an additional ration. The pigs
will eat the green stalks and leaves
with the greatest relish after the ears
have been plucked. It is an excel.
lent appetizer, helps the digestion of
more solid food, and promotes the
thrift of the ANIMALS. Field corn
maynot be quite SO nutritious, but
no better use can be made Of that.
after the ears are in milk, than to cut
and feed it to fattening swine. 1t
costs much less to make pork in
summer than in cold winter weather.

To keep the backlog of the fire
from burning away too fast, the old
gentleman would soak it in water for
some hours before bringing it into
the house. Moreover, he brought it
in himself, dripping from the pond.
A more curious instance was his
economy in the matter of candles. an
article of extreme scarcity in coun-
TRY places-often impossible to be
procured. At family prayers in the
evening. he would read the chapter
by the light of the one candle. Be

blow the candle out, and light it

1t was not uncommon in the last
century to split wafer, and use
half at time. Still more common
was it in remote parts of the country
to dispense with waters ard use
paste instead. We have sometimes
heard this practice mentioned as an
evidence of miserliness but, in fact.
all writing materials were expensive
and hard to get.
In the British Museum there are
preserved many famous manuscripts,
and among them are several which
show that the authors used paper
which had been used before. Por-
tions of Pope's translate n~ of Ho-
mnr were written upon backs of let
tiers, the creases OF which can still
be discerned.
Jonathan Edwards. when he lived
at Stockbridge among the Indians,
wrote a great part of one of his
most famous hooks upon odds and
ends of paper.
Such strictness OF economy grows
out of the cir; um>tanccs Of q people,
and often Outlasts the circumstances
that caused it.
There was time when salt, at
places distant from seaport, was
worth its weight in silver if MT its
weight in gold, since it had to be
carried on neutrality-suspicious. across
a range o: mountains.
One grain of salt was a treat to
people who had not tasted it for six
months. In the course of time salt
became very cheap everywhere, but
those who had been reared in the
period Of scarcity could never get
over the habit of using salt with
needless economy.
1t is impossible for US to realize
the intense and grinding poverty
which many people have to endure in
the early settlement Of new coun-
try, where nearly everything they
have-fuel, food, apparel. house, fur.
niture. utensils, decoration, artificial
light, medicine, etc.,-have to be
wrung from the soil about them. with
their own hands.
We should therefore be careful how
we call people misery. Economy
Ordinarily becomes excessive only in
those who have had to struggle for
life unaided. The cure for it is a

RAISING HEAVY PIGS.

Some time ago a correspondent of
the National Lire-jStOck Journal told
the readers of that magazine about
litter of ten pigs raised from a Poland
China SOW. At the age Of thirty days
their average weight was thirty-seven
pounds, and when four months old a
boar weighed 265 pounds. Being
asked TO give some particulars as TO
his method of swine-raising, he writes
as follows:
"Thc sow, after she received the
boar, was fed on wheat bran made into
mush with red-oak bark tea. She
was fed in this way for twenty-one
days. a change was then made TO
one ear of corn a day, with freedom to
90 where she pleased. This was con-
tinucd one hundred days, when !
again began TO feed bran made into
mush with pure well water, giving her
quart night and morning. did not
give her any feed for three days after
piggiHg, when began TO feed wheat
bran with one-third meal. | gave her
nest made Of leaves-a two-bushel
sackful will make a good nest. On
the seventh day placed a shallow
trough, with sweet milk made blood
warm. where the pigs could get it.
While the SOW was eating her feed !
would busy myself by ducking the
pigs noses under the milk, which was
about one inch deep. This would
cause them to poke out their tongues
as if they were eating salt, and some
of the milk would get in their mouths.
On the eighth day three of them drank
a little milk. On the tenth day all of
them drank, and from that time they
were fed on the lowest grade of brown
sugar, shorts and milk. Molasses will
do in place of sugar. drop little
carbolic acid in at times"

FERTILIzING FRUIT TREES.

Here and there on all farms, and in
most fruit gardens, will be seen an oc-
casional tree or grapevine which
seems 10 lack vigor-does not grow
well, and yet seems 10 have no partic-
ular disease. The probabilities are
that the tree is dying of starvation
and needs liberal supply of food.
When you give it this ration, do not
pile load of manure around the
trunk of the tree or the body of a
grapevine. That is just the place
where it will do the least good. Near
est the trunk of the tree the roots are
all large. The fibrous roots-the feed
ers-are further of near the ends of
the roots. These only can take up the
nutriment. II is always safe to as
sumo that the roots extend as far from
the trunk in every direction as do the
limbs of the tree, and, TO properly fer
tilize, spread the manure all over that
area. Then fork il in and you have
done good work, and have done it
well. If some disease has begun its
work on the tree, you will put the tree
in healthy, vigorous condition, the
better enabling it TO successfully con-
tend against its enemies. We have
seen numerous old pear and apple
trees, bearing poor and gnarled fruit,
which the owner considered Of nc
value, but which such treatment as we
have outlined above would restore to
their original uscfulness.-Orange Co.
