Writing a Report.

It is not every hero who can write
readable report of his victory. Caesars
famous announcements: II came [
saw, conquered" is as terse as it is
expressive. But the Roman, as his
!" Commentaries show, could write
clearly and forcibly.
Commodore Perry paralleled Caesars
comprehensive brcI-ity in his dipatch
announcing the victory of Lake Erie,
w*itten on the back Of an old letter:
1--WE have met the enemy, and they are
ours.
General Taylor, good soldier but
poor writer, was fortunate in having on
his staff an officer who welded ready

Mr.. S. Hall tells, in his Retrospect
of a Long Life two good stories
which illustrate the trials of a brave
sailor when called upon to report his
deeds in writing. At public dinner
some years ago Mr.. Hall was seated
next to an aged naval officer, who made
some remark as to his neither eat
ing nor drinking. On his telling the
officer that it was because he was APP
evening, the latter said that it remind
ed him of an Admiral with whom he
had sailed, and related the following
anecdote:
"We had fought and taken French
ship. After the battle it was my duty,
as matter of form, to report the re-
suit. l found the Admiral, evidently
in mood Of great irritation, racing up
and down his cabin pens AMI papers
scattered over the table.
.''Sir.' 1 said, L have the pleasure to
report to you that the Ship - has
struck and is our prize.
Receiving no answer, I repeated
the words; still the Admiral gave no
heed. In tone that no doubt indicated
annoyance, | was beginning third
time, when the old fellow struck in,
sharply:
:. Yes, yes, know; we've fought a
battle and won it; but the worst of it's
to Gomez
.'.May I ask what is thatP l in
guired.
"'Yes, he said, pointing to the scat
tered papers; there's that letter to the
Admiralty
Not long after, Mr.. Hall was telling
this story 10 another naval officer, who
gave pendant to it.
81 once sailed with Captain who
was ordered on three-years' cruise.
He received a state paper with long
string of instructions-to do this, that,
and the other.
"On mis- return it was his duty to
make his report. How to do it was an
other thing. He cut the matter short
by taking the paper that contained his
instructions, and adding to each item
the single phrase:
'Done't.' 'Done't.' 'Done't.'
''He then signed the document and
sent it to the Lords of the Admiralty"

Ezra Cornell.

Ezra Cornell, the celebrated founder
of the university that bears his name,
was generous in little things as we'll as
in great. When he was building the
public library which he presented to the
village of Ithaca, a teamster employed
in the work lost one of his horses.
The animal struck rock with his ankle,
and thus received wound from which
he bled to death in MIR. Cornelps pres
ence. The teamster was in sore trouble,
but as he left the spot Mr.. Cornell
called him back and asked how much
he thought the horse was worth. Upon
receiving the answer, he drew Il check
for the sum and handed it to the team
ster, saying: II can better afford to lose
the horse than you can y
As boy he showed uncommon apti-
tude in the use of tools. He was
natural mechanic. His father was
farmer and manufacturer of pottery, in
Goth of which occupations he was
assisted by Ezra, who was always con-
irving improvements in the machinery.
When he was seventeen years of age,
his father had occasion to build new
factory, and engaged a carpenter to
superintend the work. Ezra worked on
the building until it was finished, and
made such good use of his eyes and his
head. as well as of his hands, that he felt
himself capable of building something
by himself. Tie family was large and
needed new house. Ezra and
younger brother, with their fathers
consent, undertook the work, and built
very substantial and roomy two-storv
house. They went into the woods,
felled the timber, drew it to the saw
mill, cut and mortised the frame, and
invited the neighbors to come to the
raising The old builders of the vi
entity were surprised to find, as the
timbers were hoisted to their places,
that every mortise and timber fitted to
nicely. The young, untaught architect
had made no mistakes. When the
house was done, it was the best in the
village, and gave good and creditable
shelter to the family as long as they re-
NAMED together.
Like most of the strong, efficient and
good men who have made this country
what it is. he was brought up to use his
hands, as well as his brains, and was
early Injured to labor and accustomed
to contrive. At the age of twenty,
with three or four trades at his fingers
ends, a few dollars in his pocket, a
spare suit of clothes in his valise, he
walked to Ithaca, forty miles from his
fathers house, and soon found suitable
employment.
He was one of the first men to be-
lieye in Prof. Morse's telegraph, and
made very large fortune in construct
ing the first lines and organizing the
early companies. Prof. Morse saw his
merits and gave him splendid chance,
which he improved. He was just the
man for the work. Xo3tb's COM

Ensilage for Pigs in Winter.

A correspondent asks about the safety
of feeding ensilage to pigs in winter.
He says there seem to be various opin-
joins upon it, some regarding it as dan
gerous.
We suppose good, sound grass ensil.
age to be Just as safe as pasturing on
grass. We should hear little of the
diseases of the pig if it were regularly
fed grass Or other succulent, bulky,
tibrous food.
Green, succulent clover, preserved in
silo and fed to pigs in winter would be
of the greatest value in pig feeding;
and its greatest value would be in pro-
noting health and steady, uniform
growth. These, with a warm pen. or a
pen kept at sixty degrees, would enable
as good growth to be made in winter
as in summer. Such system would
save many millions now thrown away
in food, given to what are called store
pigs" Pigs, generally, make such al
most imperceptible growth in winter,
that the food is little better than thrown
away. Corn ensilage might be fed to
pigs in winter, especially the sweet va,
rieties, but the greater amount oil
woody fiber in corn renders it less
adapted to this purpose than clover.
The pig is Il grass eating animal, the
same as the horse, but its stomach
is small, and can not utilize a large
amount of innutritious food, such as ri.
minants manage easily. 1t is, there.
fore. judicious to feed pigs only the most
succulent and tender of fbrous plants,
and clover exactly meets this require
ment. We have found clover, cut just
before poisoning, and nicely cured,
softened by boiling water in winter, to
be good pig food, and to keep them i'll
fine health Glover, being very nitro.
tgenous helps to balance corn diet
Orchard grass and clover, cut when
the orchard grass is tender, would make
excellent ensilage for pigs in winter,
and some two or three crops or thl3
could be cut in a season. Any of the
grasses. when in tender, succulent con-
dition. will make good onsilage One
great advantage of this green food in
winter will be the safety of strong grain
feeding, the pigs making as rapid prog
ess as in summer, If in warm quarters.
The feeding of this succulent ensilage
to PIGS will also render it absolutely
necessary that they should be in warm
pens, for such sappy food can not be
fed in the open air or IN pens thai
freeze. for in that case, the food would
be frozen. So if this system should ever
come into use, it will bring warm feed.

Strange PlayTellOw.

The following account OF the remark
able friendship between the elephant
t'Queenn and little Don Melville is
taken from an article by John 4. Cor
yell in 81. Nicholas; ''When he could
just toddle, Don would run upto Queen
with chuckle of delight, and putting
his white, plump little arms around her
great brown, hairy trunk, would tug
away with all his little strength, as if
he believed he could pull that living
mountain over.
Sand, strange to say, he actually ac-
complished his object, for Queen hui
mored the little fellows fancy. Sway
ing and rumbling with delight, she
would gradually allow herself to come
to her knees, and finally to fall over on
her side. And it was touching to see
how all the time she kept her eyes low
ingly on the beautiful baby, taking care
that no movement of hers could even
disturb him!
"When she was at last PROSTATE,
Don would look around as if to say:
See what can dol Then he would
initiate what he had seen the trainer
perform. He would Chamber and climb
until he was on Queens head, and there
he would sit, with the air of q conquer
or. He was quite likely to thrust his
fist into the elephants eye or to swing
glls foot into her mouth, but not q mo-
ton would the patient creature make
while he sat there, for she seemed to
know that he was not very secure in
his high perch.
sometimes Don would carry his
picture-blocks to Queen, and together
they would build houses. Don would
put on one block, and then Queen
would take one up in her trunk and
put it in its place as carefully as if she
had been used to the game all her lie;
and when Don would kick the house
down, as he usually did when it was
about halt built, his merry laugh and
her thunder-like rumble were something
worth going miles to hear.
! cit never seemed to occur to Don
that there was anything odd in his com,
partnership with the gigantic creature;
and had it entered his little head to do
so, there is no doubt that he would
have proposed walk in the fields
with her, with as much innocence as if
she had been small dog.
