''Julia Jackson, the only child of
sStonewalp Jackson, is here, = writes an
Old Point correspondent of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, and adds: ''She is
a slight, blue-eyed girl, with fair hair,
dark eyebrows and long lashes, which
give strength and character to her mo-
bile, changing face. She is quite an ac-
complished young lady, swims like a
fish, shoots like rifeman and rides like
Kentucky belle, in her gray Confede-
rate uniform, trimmed with big brass
buttons. 1t is very pretty to see the
Difference paid the widow and only
child of their lost leader by all Southern
men and women who may chance to
meet them. Mrs. Jackson is a modest
little lady, with charming manners and
sweet voice."

A Story of Mexican Stupidity.

A church was lately built at Lagos, on
the main line of the Mexican Central Rail
road, and when finished the fathers were
annoyed to find that a big hole from
which the clay for the adobes used in
constructing the ediffce had been exca-
waited remained directly in front of the
main entrance.
Orders were given to have the insight
" hole filled up. This was done by shov-
cling into it earth and clay from thenea
est bank. But this, of course, left an
other hole, and so the painstaking Mexi-
cans went TO work and filed that up in
like manner, leaving another gap in the
ground, which was filed, and the opera
ton was repeated until the hole was run
out of town, so to speak, and the good
fathers congratulated themselves on be-
ing rid of an unsightly nuisance.
People who wonder that the Mexicans
are not more enterprising than they are,
viii find in this little tale one explana-
ton of the difficulty which stands in the
way of the rapid development of the
| country.

Professor S. r. Thompson, of the
Nebraska Agricultural college, writes
to the American Agricultural that green
food makes thriftier and larger hogs.
Farmers who raise many pigs, and feed
them exclusively on corn, know that
some of the shotes will cease to grow at
an early age, begin to lay on fat, and
never reach the size of good merchant
able hogs. This tendency to fatten pre-
maturely. at the expense of bone growth
is not seen to any great extent in grass.
fed hogs. A pig fed on bulky green
food will develop a larger stomach than
fed on concentrated food like corn;
and when You come to fatten it this en-
larged capacity will enable him to eat
and digest more corn, and thus fatten
faster than the other and be a more
profitable hog to grow for market.
Grass-fed hogs are healthier than those
granted. Every intelligent breeder
knows the advantages of feeding green
food to sows about to farrow. They
have less difficulty with their pigs, are
less liable TO destroy them, and give
more milk, and nurse them better.
Grass-fed hogs are less liable to disease.
The dreaded hog cholera is not much
to be feared where hogs have therun of
a good clover pasture. Undoubtedly,
if exposed to contagion they would take
the disease, but they are not likely to
develop il. For example, a farmer had
his hogs in a small pen, destitute Of
grass, with no water, except a muddy
pool, which soon was made as vile as
possible by the hogs. After a while
the hogs began to die in considerable
numbers, with symptoms resembling
cholera. The owner was alarmed, took
them out of his pen, turned them on a
patch of green rye. and gave them wat
er from a well. The disease was checked
and the deaths ceased
