The Struggle with the Mississippi.


The Chicago Tl.ibin1c says: The gov
elnmcnt may spend upon the improve
mont of the Mississippi River anywhere
from SO, 900, 600 to- 5000, 600, 600, and
when it has spent the money may sud
denly find some day that the river has
got mp in the night and destroyed all the
improvement made, and that the money
is consequently a dead loss. This is
not an encouragement for liberal appro-
priations, yet it is what n committee Of
Congress reports rs the practical state OF
the case.
1t appears that the more money spent
upon mattresses to strengthen the bank
and control the current, the more mat
tressps there are to be washed away
and that the washing-away operation
cannot be stopped unless mattresses are
placed on both banks for the whole
length of the river at one and the same
period of low water; and it further ap-
pears that the more the channel IS deep
ened by limitation Of width, the more
that cantankerous river will go out of its
deepened channel and make for itself
new. wide and shallow channel, such as
it loves, through somebody's farm.
Upon the whole, We imagine this
country will have to consider once
more the much-neglected plan for the
Improvement of the Mississippi sug-
gested by Capt. Cowdon, an old river
steamboat captain, to make outlets and
cut-offs, and help the floods to discharge
themselves faster. That is the best that
can be done. The levee and mattress
plan merely eats up public funds, but
does navigation no good.

A dispatch from Frederick, Md, dated
March s, says: Shortly after midnight
the home of Mr.. Simon Cronise, near
New Market, was destroyed by fire, to-
gether with his wife and one Of his chill
dren. Mr.. Cronise is q planter, and,
with his family, retired last night about
nine o'clock, leaving roaring fire in the
kitchen stove, around which a quantity
of wood had been packed for use in the
morning as usual.
| About midnight Mr. Cronise and his
wife, who slept on the second story,
were awakened by the smell Of smoke.
The house was a two story oil time
! Lighthouse, but of good dimensions. A
single stairway led from the lower to the
upper story. On this second floor there
slept, besides Mr.. and Mrs. Cronise,
their seven children, the eldest nineteen,
and the youngest two, and an old deaf
and dumb man named Henry Plumber
Upon awakening, Mr.. Cronise rushed
down the stairway, and opening the door
was met by perfect sheet Of flame. He
realized the position Of those dependent
upon him at once, and closing the door
directed his wife to smash one of the
several small widows (abOut 16 by 20
inches) and let the smoke escape.
The children, who were all partially
sutfocated were helped by their parents
through the windows, the eldest drop
ping to the ground fifteen feet below.
Then the turn Of the little ones came.
Mrs. Cronise told her husband to Jump
from the window and she would drop the
younger children down to him and would
then follow. Mr. Cronise did as requested
and all the little ones had safely landed
in their fathers arms but one, Il five-year
old girl, whom her mother had III her
arms and was Just in the act of putting
out through the window. Then like
flash the old deaf and dumb man darted
between them and the window and get
ting half way out, hung there in his ter
TOT unable to move, and blocking the
window from the brave mother and child.
The husband and children below in
safety gazed upon the terrible scene,
benumbed in their night clothes by the
furious winds, and almost petrified by
terror. for Mrs CrOnise could not reach
any other window She wildly beat the
terrified old man upon the hands to make
him leave his position and drop to the

Woman Suffrage.

Having received many inquiries about
the results of woman suffrage in Wyom-
ing. the editor of the Laramie Sentinel
answers them all ut once i'll an interest
ing editorial article i'll his paper. At
the outset he states as fact, which Is
probably not generally known, that the
law comforting political rights upon wo-
men which was passed in 1869, ana has
been in operation ever since, was "a
mere freak of the legislators, who
thought it would immortalize them
and advertise the territory. They
buiIdcd better than they knew. "
Among the results Of the measure, ac-
cording to the Sentinel, are these:
A smaller percentage Of women than
of men stay away from the polls; they
are less persistent ottice-seekers than the
men, but when elected to Office they
have in every case done their duty salts
factorily; they are accorded entire hber-
ty of action-frequently wife votes III
opposition to her husband, and 1t has
even happened that wives have worked
and voted for one ticket when their hUs-
bands were candidates ON the other; but

ThreShing Corn.


T. D. Curtis, of Kirby Homestead,
n. Y, gives us the following item, which
although scarcely seasonablc, may be of
Use to the famer:-A quantity of nm
husked corn stored at a barn was put
through threshing machine in half a
day and measured seventy bushels
sheIled and cleaned as it was delivered
from the machine. The stalks were
crushed and torn into shreds so fine that
the cattle ate the whole Of them. The
work was 50 quickly and well done that
next fall it is my intention to husk the
most of the corn in this manner, choosing
a time when both the corn and the stalks
are as dry as possible. The stalks will
keep better in Il NOV in this form, as
they lie up loose and will not pack so
closely as when in bundles and con
seuuentIy be less liable to mould The
worst difficulty is in the car2 Of the
shelled corn which must be spread out
on floor and shoveled over frequently
to prevent it from getting musty, which
it would be liable to do at that season
of the year. The kernels are somewhat
broken by the process which would re-
duce its value for selling, but which does
not iniure it for home use. By hanging
blanket in front of the cleaner or
tanning mill none of the kernels would
fly out and mix with the stalks.
The broken cObs are mixed with the
stalks and are also eaten by the cattle
There is a small amount Of nutriment in
corncobs and by this process they are
also utilized and turned to good ac-
count. The gain in the entire con
sumption Of the constall1s, when thus
broken in pieces, IS an important con-
sideration and makes the handling of the
manure much easier than when the
whole stalks are mixed with it. They
are also reduced to Il condition to be
Immediately available for enriching the
ground in the form Of animal excrement,
besides contributing to the sustenance
of the animals to the extent of their
value as food, which is greater than
many farmers suppose, as the sugar and
gums i'll them are not lost by drying,
but in a dried form are retained in them,
needing only to be masticated and
digested to be made available. The same
result may be obtained, but not in so
good a form, by passing the stalks
through a cutting machine and cut into
/ -,
does this work more effectually, because
when cattle are fed for any length Of
time on cornstaIlls cut into short bits,
their mouths are liable to become sore
by the sharp edges, and they will not
eat them as well as when torn into fine
shreds and crushed as they are by the
threshing machine.

The Late GOV. Stephens.

dimmutive dimensions at that. The
weight of this poor wreck is said to be
eighty-tive pounds, including all his
wrappings. He is in his seat every day,
sometimes for Il short time only, and on
other days during the entire session. He
sits in his seat for hours with his cloak
over his shoulders, his little velvet
smoking cap on his head, and his gloves
on his hands. But if his body is weak,
prOstrated and emaciated, his mind Is
apparently as bright as ever. His deeply
sunken ewes glisten with an almost nm
earthly hrilIiancy under the protruding
brows as he watches the movements Of
others about him. His voice is shrill and
piping, like that OF half-grown school

WHY Todleben Left the Russian Army.

The pecuniary affairs of one of the
Cars nearest relatives, who held high
military command in Bulgaria, have
become so desperately involved that his
estates have been placed under adj
minstration for the benefit of his
creditors; and in the meanwhile it is said
to have been suggested that he could
live with more dignity abroad on the
small income which has been reserved
for his personal use. The allowances
received by the Russian imperial princes
are almost extravagantly handsome; but,
between their own incompetence to con-
troll and the greed and dishonesty Of
their tnfouraGe, the Unfortunate Grand
Dukes are always in difficulties.
The Grand Duke in question bears no
good will toward Gen. Todleben, and is
said to have been the cause Of the recent
retirement of the General from active
employment. Some years ago the
famous engineer was President of a com
mittee which drew up a complete plan
for the defense of the western frontier
of the empire. Financial and other
considerations long delayed the execution
of the works planned, but last year it
was suddenly determined to commence.
Although the original plans We're CON
siderably modified, and some of the most
important Notifications were to be con-
structed in the district under his com
mand, Gen. Todleben was not further
consulted on she subject, and was not
even informed of the decisions arrived ut.
When the Grand Duke passed through
the western provinces on tour OF
military inspection. he asked the General
what progress was being made with the
new Notifications. The latter feigned
astOnishment at the inquiry, and denied
all knowledge of the fact that the works
had been commenced; whereupon he
was tauntingly upbraided with his
ignorance Of the military details of the
district under his command, and so
insuIted that he momentarily forgot the
special courtesy demanded by the rank
OF his tolmentor. Shortly afterward
poor Todleben had occasion to send
official congratulations to the Gar, and
was dumbfounded to receive Il reply that
his Majesty did not desire to be con
graduated by him. He has naturally
resigned his command, and Russia has
lost the services of her best General.
