The investigation by committee of Con-

at Danville, Va, in which whites fired on the
colored voters, still continues, and it is to be

some other instances of the kind.
Stephen Girard, who WAS the richest
man in America in his day. died in
1881, leaving the enormous sum of nine
millions-elual to thrice that amount
at the present time. He had no chill
dren, and after making few personal
legacies the grand es; ate was bequeathed
to charitable OBJ 'ects, chief of which was
the college. Tie Girard estate was the
largest ever thus devised. either in is
country or any other. The best estate
ever bequeathed to charity in this city
was the Sailors Snug Harbor. LIS
original value was small but has in
crea ed immensely since the bequest
was made, and Stewards uptown pal
ace (now in other uses) occupies part
of it. The ground rent paid for this
plot is $4,000 a \ ear, and this is prob
ably not one-quarter of the entire en-
dowment. Next in importance is the
Aston library, for which purpose old
John Jacob fequeathed 500, 900, and
the family has since his death added

The Dem;tt dispensary was gift OF
a lady of that name. who inherited an
estate from her father. a noted watch
maker. The Roosevelt hospital was the
be uest of an eccentric bachelor, who
lived q miserable life and hated his
h. IRIS to whom he left nothing, giving
all to charity. A Law suit ensued an
the matter was finally compromis d.
The heirs got a handsome slice of the
estate. and enough was left to erect a
grand hospital. The Leak and Watts
orphan asylum is another. charity de-
yised by private beneficence, and it has
been of great benefit to the world.
Madame Jumel. like Roosevelt, hated
her heirs-at-law, and therefore Ie-
queathed her immense estate to chari-
table objects, but the will was contested
and it was set aside on the ground of
insanity. William B. Astor, notwith-
standing the immensely of his estate,
only left $4,000 10 charity. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt did better than was ex-
pected, but this was due to the influence
of his wife. Among the recent postum
nous henefactions which attra.t no.
tice are those of William +. Dodge,
which are more than one third o. q
million, and Samuel Willets, the opu-
lent Quaker, who did much better, his
benevolent requests being nearly half
million. Wil'ets was q very close man

pearance was so suggestive of poverty,
that an ordinary observer would have
viewed him with pity. Such was the
man who bequeathed half a million to
charity.-M Y. Cor. Atica II raid.

Selling Pigs In Summer.

As the pig is grass eating animal,
this taste for grass or roots should
always. be gratitied. Many farmers
have no pig pasture, and keep thei,
pigs in a pen, or pen and small yard.
They seem quite to forget the nature OF
the ply. and treat him as If he were
only fitted to digest grain or other con-
centrated food. This may be responsible
for many of his ailments.
1t is easy for the farmer to furnish
clover or other green food to his pigs
in summer This animal is not very
part cular; there are many weeds in the
garden that he will take and return his
thanks with q polite grunt. He appre-
ciates all such attentions shown him,
and will testify it BY better heath and
growth. This is matter of much i'm
portance. as q bushel of corn fed with
clover w II often produce IS much
growth as bushel and half fed alone.
Animals grow best when they are in
good health and have y vigorous appe-
lite. and the clover or other green food
keeps their digestion good. That great
pest, the Canada thistle, when the stalk
is green and succulent Is eaten with a
genuine relish by pigs. In this condi-
ton this thistle is preferred to grass by
many other animals on the farms.
When the clover is large. the pigs win
eat it better If it il run through .
cutter. This mixes stalks and leaves so
as to render it more succulent. The
pig will eat more clover or grass than
is generally supposed. Shoats of fifty
to eighty pounds will eat from six to
eight pounds of green clover per das.
We have found the best way to
feed it was to run the clover
through cutter and mix with
meal. In this way. the clover and
meal was eaten together. and this mix
ing of the bulky and concentrated
foods results in more perfect diges-
ton of the corn meal or other ground
food. We tried SO accurate an expert
ment on this, that the result is not lett
to con ecture. We divided q litter oil
six pigs. and to three fed. clover and
corn-mea', and to the other three fed

would eat again for some weeks, when

meal and clover always had good APP

progress. Each lot ate the same amount
of corn meal. but those fed clover

most.
