In the illustrated paper by General

the following: "Dhring the whole OF the

othe,, giving directions to division COM

In officers and men that enabled them 70

that day, the 9th, that he pro6ted much
by having so able commander support

would have taken him from the field
and would have been a sad one for the

They had lively time in the Arkansas
Legislature the other do in electing COM
mittee clerks, the candidates being q half
dozen young ladies. Some OF the nomi,
mating speeches were wonderful in setting
forth the qualifications OF the candidates.
One member with his hand over his heart
declared that the lady he arose to nomi-
nate was one OF the handsomest ladies in
the State, and he advised 'the young mar
riageable members to vote for her, as well
as the married members with sickly wives;
the members with strong, healthy wives
too, for, as he said, who knows what a
moment can bring forth?' intact, all mem
hers could not do better than to vote for
her."
The Speaker sat down amid tumultu-
GUS cheering. Another member declared
that II beauty was recommendation the
one he rose to place before tho House had
as much beauty as any one, "and II he
ever had to choose another wife he would
as soon have her as the best one in the
State"
A constitutional objection to electing
ladies' as officers Of the State was sprung
by one member, but he was silenced by
many Of his brother members Jumping to
their feet and exclaiming that they would
vote for the Young ladies ii there were a
thousand constitutional objections, The
ladies were elected. This is a pointer for
West Virginia legislators, and it wouldn't
be discreditable for other Legislatures to
emulate the action OF the Arkansas House
Of Representatives.

The efforts that have been put forth in
this country to secure an ensilage free
from acidity seems from all reports to
have met with marked success, and Sweet
ensilage" now seems assured, and ut q
greatly decreased expense in the cost OF
Storage. This leads the National Lire Stock
Journal to remark: 1.-THE Importance OF
succulent food in the winter Is likely to
make this method Of preserving fodder
almost universal in this country, because,
when properly conducted, 1t costs nomore
than to cure and store our grasses in the
form Of hay. At first the only crop ensi.
LACED was green corn. This crop should
always be used, as it furnishes very
palatable green food in the largest guam.

initself, and should be used with q green

4 German inventor proposes to wrap a
steel tube with silk until u diameter is at
tanned corresponding with the ballastic
power required for the cannon. Forany
given diameter silk possesses a tenacity as
great as that OF the best tempered steel,
and has the advantage Of superior
elasticity. After the tube has been made
Il is centred upon lathe which turns
with great angular velocity. Above and
parallel with the tubes are arranged a
number OF spoois OF silk which cover the
surface in the form Of a helix, by means
ofgnides, without leaving any space be:
tween the threads. When the desired
thickness has been obtained the silk Is
coated with gutta percha or hardened
caoutchouc, in order to preserve II from
air and dampness. The silk being bad
conductor Of heat, the gun can be fired
very often without getting hot, and 1t is
stated that it can be more easilymanaged,
since its weight is only one-third as great
rs il Il only were Of steel.
