PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate, on the 3rd, bills were pass
ed for the construction of number of pub
lie buildings, among them one at Greenville,
S. c.. A bill was introduced by Senator
Butler to authorize the Secretary of War to
loan to the Governors Guards, of Columbia,
IS. c., fifty Springfield rifles. Referred.
The Military Academy appropriation bill
was taken up, but at this moment amessage
was received from the House containing
resolutions expressing the regret Of the
House at the death Of the late Representa-
tive Haskell, Of Kansas The remainder of
the days session was devoted to eulogies of
the deceased Representative.
In the House, Randall, under instructions
from the Committee on Appropriations, re-
ported back letter from the Secretary of
the Treasury relative to rebate on tobacco.
The Secretary's letter was ordered printed
in the Record. Randall said the Secretary's
letter settled two points-tirst, that no adj
ditional force is necessary in the payment
of claims and, second, that instead of TAX
ing three years to pay them they could be
paid in three months. Intimation had crept
into public notice that persons having
claims, by employment of agents at five per
cent, commission, could get precedence in
consideration of their claims. He wanted
to say to the House and to claimants that
there was no occasion whatever for claimants
to go to any expense to secure payment of
their money. If they employed agents af-
ter this statement they would do so of their
own volition. Under the call of States, a
number of bills and resolutions were intro
duced and referred, after which the House,
upon motion of Townsend, of Texas, sus-
pended the rules and passed the bill pen
sioning Mexican veterans. The bill does
not apply to soldiers of the Black Hawk and
other Indian wars. Townsend explained
the bill, stating that it was confined exclu-
sively to those who served in the Mexican
war, and did not contain a provision not al
ready sanctioned by the House of Represen-
tatives. Persons who were under political
disabilities were excluded from the benefit

PLANTING OPERATIONS.

BY reason of the continued wet weather
and the general backwardness of the spring,
the farmers are very much behind with
their work. But little plowing has been
done, though with settled weather soon but
little time will have been lost. A backward
spring is one indication of good crop year.
1t is too early yet to speak with certainty as
to the damage to the fruit crop. From
what we can learn, thesevere weather of the
winter was to some extent injurious to the
oat crop-the earlier and the later soWings
being most seriously affected.

MELTON TO DEFEND CASH.

District-Attorney Melton was approached
by representative Of the Greenville Neacs
last Friday night and asked about the ru-
NOR that he had been retained as one of the
counsel to defend w. B. Cash. To the
question,
"Judge, is it true that you have been
retained to represent Cash."
Then Judge Melton added with some We
hemence: 'It is as clear case Of self de-
I,os~r. -ttv,1-r i've and
he will appear for trial at the proper timep'
The Nelrs man smiled a cold, sarcastic
smile.
Judge Melton, with the eloquence OF the
hand which is one of the charms of his ora
tory, extended that hand with an indeScri
bable gesture which expressed the words he
uttered immediately
II hold Began Cash in my hand" he said:
che will be found and will surrender when
l tell him to do it. No man in South Caro-
lima can get to him or take him until l say
the word, and / will say it at the proper
time"
Somebody suggested that Gov. Thompson
was not man to be trifled with, and that
he would probably find means to secure Mr..
Cash without consulting him.
"They can't do it," said the Judge, "it's
dN dItCIl pG W uulIlllldlt DldNc iliall, anu
they can't do it. Cash will appear and
make his defense at the proper time"
"Will there be any attempt to remove the
case to the United States Courts"
"Oh no." was the reply.
The Ne,rs further says:
1t is reported here that Colonel Richard
Watts, of Laurens, brother-in-law to Cash,
will be associated with Judge Melton as
counsel. Many people in Greenville ex-
press the belief that Cash is in Laurens,
although there seems to be no foundation
for the surmise beyond the known fact
that he has connections there.
1t was whispered on Friday that Cash had
been in Greenville since the murder and
certain circumstances lend color of truth
to the story, although it is not likely one.
1t is certain, however, that man answer
ing his description in some important par
ticulars was in this city two or three days
after the shooting at Cheraw, and can not
now be traced.

Novel Use OF Greenbacks.

What becomes of all the greenbacks
and bank notes after they have served
their few wears of usefulness?" is a fire.
uuent query. A bank note has its life
Just the same as all other things useful.
What an interesting story the travels of

ating machine would make! The av-
erage life of a bank-note is about three
years, perhaps a little longer. After
serving its purpose as currency it Is
metamorphosed into rabbits, birds and
other figures. The process of the de-
struction of the notes is an interesting
one.
The readers will often see in the daily
papers paragraph something like this:
National bank notes received for re-
demption to-day, 100000" The next
day these notes are carried to the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing and
placed in a machine containing inn
mense knives, which chop the notes
into fragments. This operation is con-

main in the room until each separate
note is destroyed. They must account
in detail afterwards to the Redemption
Bureau for each note; and should one
become lost or mislaid. and afterwards
find its way into circulation. the result
would be the immediate discharge OF
the three gentlemen who daily have in
their custody from $500, 900 to S2,OOO,-

Feeding Pigs for Fattening.

An error quite pfeNaientaH among iai III
ers and others in feeding and fattening
pigs. which often leads to disappointing
results. is the notion that the pig thrives
best and fattens fastest upon the most
concentrated food and does not require
bulk in its food to promote health. All
are aware that corn, or corn meal alone,
with water. is not n wholesome ration
for the OK or horse, but think that the
pig is so differently constituted that
bulk in food is not essential. A greater
error could hardly be conceived. In
the natural wild state the pig. rs well as
the horse and OK, is accustomed to
bulky, less concentrated food. which
seems to have been forgotten, and he
is piled with concentrated food from
weaving age till slaughtered, except in
perhaps certain cases where economy
or parsimony is studied. From these
exceptional eases lessons ought to have
been learned that there is a better way
of feeding than giving only the most
concentrated food. / have seen pigs
fed. some on only meal with water. and
others with meal mixed with other and
bulky food, and have invariably found
the latter the most healthy and always
ready to eat when their food was of
fered and no waste occurred. Where
the pigs were fed with meal alone and
drink, the pigs after awhile seemed to
become cloyed and ate less heartily,
ofton wasting much of their feed.
Theory indicates, to my mind. that
meal fed alone goes into the stomach
in the state of dough. so that the gastric
juice cannot penetrate the mass to per-
form its Office properly. while the more
bulky substance mixed with the meal
acts as divisor, permitting the gastric
juice to pass through and digest it
rapidly. Clear meal being so slowly
digested, lying so long in the stomach,
creates disturbances and fever in the
system, while the pigs fed with more
bulky food are always healthy. lively
and ready for their food. Pigs fed on
meal alone are less evenly thrifty. as
they. after eating well for time, will
stop and fast awhile. They apparently
recover, and then eat again. but never
with the seeming relish of those fed
with the more bulky food. This easily
accounts for the fact that corn and cob
meal are said by some to equal corn
meal alone for feeding and fattening
purposes.
When we consult the chemist he tells
us what analysis decides; but when we
compare actual results we find that
there is something that chemistry fails
to reveal. We find it thus in many OF
| our farm operations. Science. while
throwing much light on our everyday
occupations. must have the aid of eN-
perience to demonstrate perfectly. The
two never clash. but assist each other.
Actual experience demonstrates that
corn and cob meal is superior in feed
ing value to whole corn; not that the
same weight of each contains the same
nutriment. but that there is some factor
which lies below the surface, and that
factor l think is explained in the fore
going.-Cor. Country Gentleman.
