Escape OF Marshal Bazaine.

The escape of the fat man of Metz
from his prison On the Isle of st.
Marguerite was arranged entirely by
the Marshal, his wife, and his neph-
ew, Alvarez de Ruell. Madame Ba-
zaine had hired steamer for a pre-
tended pleasure-trip at Genoa, and,
leaving her at anchor in JoCan Bay
she had started for the island of St.
Marguerite, with her devoted neph-
ew, in an open boat, across the
stormy sea. Meanwhile the Mar
shal, who had been forewarned of
his wife's design, had managed to
elude his jaileis and to secure rope
one end of which he attached to two
iron bars placed crosswise in an old
gutter, which carried off the rain
water from the rock /; the other hung
down into the darkness. He then
began the descent, some eighty feet
down the face of the precipice, with
the danger of being dashed against
projecting cliffs or of falling into
the sea. Halfway down he rested,
by means of a hook which was at
tached to his belt, and lit a match,
which signal was answered by a fee
BILE light beneath him. Arrived at
the end of the rope, the Marshal, all
bleeding and exhausted as he was,
threw himself into the sea and swan
to the boat, into which he was lifted
with great difficulty. They reached
the steamer about / in the morning,
and the Marshal was forthwith in
troduced to the captain as a valet
whom madame had engaged. In
due course of time they landed at
Genoa, and proceeded thence to Ger
many.

A New Story of Greeley.

Here is a good Horace Greeley
story, which seems new to me. He
was walking home one night in New
York city with a friend whom we
will call Sanderson, because that
is SO unlike his real name, 1t was
cold and raw and windy. As they
struggled along they were accosted
by man VINO wanted "a little as
sistance," 'the price of nights
lodging" or something of that sort.
"No," said Greeley, in his peculiar
treble; mo, you're lying; you want
some money for whisky. l won't
give it to you" The man pleaded
for it again. "No," said Greely, mo
you're fraud !; you can't have it"
and then they pushed on, leaving
him standing under a gaslamp's
light, the very embodiment of woe.
As they turned away Greeley said
to Sanderson: "That was the right
way to deal with the fellow, wasn't
it?" Yes" said Sanderson "of
course it was" But Greeley was
not satisfied. Before they had gone
half a block he turned around with:
81 wonder whether that fellows still
there? ?" He was. Greecy walked
back part way and called him. The
fellow came. There" !" said Greely,
Il guess you're fraud, but take
that" thrusting a bill into his hand.
The fellow was profuse in thanks.
Greeley stopped them, and returned
to his companion. "You didn't give
that fellow anything?,' demanded
"Ys," said Greeley, II
did. / was just darned fool enough
to give him two-dollar bill.n

A Standard Oil Pipe Burst.

LANCASTER, Jar. Between 2
and 3 o'clock this afternoon one OF
the pipes of the Standard Oil Com
pany's line burst near Harnish's s
Station, On the Quarryville Railroad
in this county, and great quantities
OF oil ran into a gully near by. The
workmen, in endeavoring to stay
the flow of oil, set fire to the oil
that had gathered in the gully and
a great many barrels were destroy
ed before the flames could be check
e2. The heat was so intense that
Dr. NJ. Buffenmoyer, a passenger on
a Quarryville train, in thrusting
his head out of the car to see the
fire. was scorched in the face and
had his hair singed.

Corn is SO rich in oil that we may
say corn-bread is ready buttered; it
is, however, very digestible, and in
cold weather this oiIiness is a most
valuable factor, as it serves to keep
up the heat of the body more di-
rectly than starch and similar sub
stances. With oats and barley it
may form one-third of the grain
ration of hard. worked draft horses,
and will keep their coats glossy and
be in every way a benefit, certainly
worth more than its weight in oats.
Fed alone or in larger proportion
it has a tendency to make horses
sweat easily, and it is said to become
quickly exhausted. 1t is not safe to
feed it as freely as oats or barley, as
there is danger of impacting and
lust as there would be if wheat were
SO fed. No doubt it is best fed
ground with oats, and the proper
tions already indicated are probably
the most satisfactory, the meal being
fed upon cut hay.
For COWS in milk, corn meal may
form, with brand, the exclusive grain
rotion, and may be fed at the rate of
one pint of corn-meal to each lCO
pounds of the cows live weight. No
doubt it will be found just as good
in Great Britain as here. 1t gives
quality and richness to the milk,
color to the butter and abundance
to The flow if the COW is good one |;
but if she is inclined to lay on fat
such feeding will cause her to fatten
even though in full milk, and if she
gets too fat she will go dry.
For sheep corn is excellent, but
should be fed whole and little at a
time. For swine, the universal ex-
perience from Maine to Oregon, and
from canada to Mexico, is that 1t
will make more and better pork
than any other feed. For loultry it
is in this country the universal grain
but it is not always the best. 1t is
admirable for its fattening proper
ties, but for laying hens and growing
fowls it is not well to use too much.
"Corn-fed" fowls, ducks and geese
are firm-nesh and yet tender. They
lear transportation aliye with little
shrinkage. True yellow corn makes
yellow butter and yellow fat in fowls.
English and French tastes demand
white heshed poultry with pale,
lardy fat, and SO they fatten poultry
on rice, and their fancy market fowls
have about as much flavor as boiled
rice. The American market de-
mands yellow-heshed fowls as June
butter, and corn is the food to pro-
duce this in all poultry.

On the Cattle Ranches.

LITTLE Rock, ARE, Jan. 6.-In-
telligence from the grazing country
in the Indian Territority states that
the recent storms which covered the
ranges with several inches of snow
created considerable suffering
among live stock, but the mortality
was slight. The Wachita, Dickey
McClelland and other large cattle
companies report their herds in fine
condition and estimate only nomi-
nal losses. The fine weather late
in the fall produced good grazing,
which enabled the cattle to feed well
and withstand rough weather. The
ranchmen also took the pre- caution
TO cure sufficient grass to sustain
the cattle through continued severe
weather. Generally in the Terri
tory there is but one cold snap dur
ing the winter season. This has
come and gone, and no fears of fur
ther losses are entertained.
