Rescue Of Dog nn.i Pig from n Wreck
In NIld-Ocean.

Rescue Of a Dog ami Pig from q Wreck
In Mld-ocean.
Away of on tho horizon q strange
looking vessel was discovered by tho
lookout on tho steamship. Both boats
wcrc in mid-occan as tho steamer ap-
preached the strengthening craft, tho
lookout reported that part Of her spars
were gone, and most of her rigging.
Tho steamship camo nearer and nearer,
al on ECard looking anXiously for some
sign Of the crew, but could discover
mono, though signals of distress were
flying. At last the steamer stopped,
small boat was lowered and put off for
tho wreck. AS tho men drew near there
was heard tho frantic barking of dog,
and means that rcsemblcd tho voice of
n human Delng. The little boat drew
nearer, and finally came alongside, but
it was almost dark. The sailors climbed
up tho sides of tho ship and found lit
Ito dog running about so wildly that
they knew at once he was mad. Still
tho means could be heard. Tho mon
lighted tho lanterns and started to find
the human being in distress. The sounds
came from tho forward part of the YES
sci, and grew moro and more pitiful. At
last the lights flashed on little white
pig lying in neat little pen. The pig
looked up at his rescuers, as ono of
the men said, with an expression that
seemed to say: He thought it was
long time between meals" One of the
sailors took the little pig in his arms
back to the steamship, but before the
mon left they shot the poor little dog
who had gone mad. At daylight tho
next day the wrecked vessel was in
spected, and it was decided that her
crew had been taken off by some other
vessel. 1t was considered dangerous to
lcavo tho wreck afloat. and the captain
of the steamship poured oil over the
vessel and set it on fire. Ho stayed by
until the charred hulk sank, and then
started for New York with his queer
little passenger, who, it is evident, will
be allowed to live till old age, so fond
have the crew grown of him.-Chris-

County Official Paper.
FREE COINAGE CONVENTION,

BY virtue Of the authority vested
in him and in obedience to numerous
and urgent requests to SO do, Thomas
Fitch. member of the National
Executive SILVER, Committee, has
called Free Coinage Convention, to
he held at Carson City on the 29th
instant, and invites all who favor
Congressional legislation in behalf of
free and unlimited coinage to elect
delegates to said convention This.
is the first practical movement made
in Nevada having for it's object free
coinage. The people Of the State
have for years been demanding of
Congress that the wrong of 1873 be
Eighted. All our entreaties, notwith-
standing, have been unheeded because
actions speak louder than words and
the willy politicians of the East saw
that our declarations between cleo
tions were forgotten at the ballot
box.
The Silver State, strong silver
advocate, in commenting on the
action taken by Mr.. Fitch, says:
Now it is proposed to try concerted
action and prove the truth of the
adage that "In union there is
strength" The only hope of the
State lies in the free coinage of sill
YER. The drought of last Summer
and SHOWS of last Winter devastated
the herds and focks which dotted our
plains. The agriculturalist of the
Truckee, whose alfalfa fields enriched
him, must find other markets for his
product than that hitherto afforded
him by the cattle owners of Northern
Nevada, and that market he can find
only by having free coinage Of silver
and renewed life in the mines. 1t
is TO be hoped that every mining
camp and agricultural settlement, as
She question involved concerns the
farmer rs much as the miner, in the
State will hold meetings and select
delegates to represent them at the
meetings at the respective county
seats, and that full delegations Of
determined men will be sent to the
State Convention at Carson.

Lees Last Order.

There has been found at Wheeling
the original copy of General Order
No. 9, issued by General r. E. Lee.
1t bears the date of April 10, 1865,
and is in the nature of a farewell to
the Army Of North Virginia, in which
General Lee compliments his soldiers
for their bravery, and wishes them
Gods blessings. The paper fell into
the hands of a Confederate officer
and WAS afterwards lost. John Rel,
Il Wheeling gentleman, found it
among a lot Of old papers while visit
ing friend near that city. The sig.
nature has been attested as genuine.

A REPULSIvE PRACTICE.

Enraged Cinnamon Dispose OF Tax-Col-
lectors by Biting Them to Death.
The floods of last fall, which serious
ly injured the rice crop in this section
in some places causing a total loss
havo been followed by considerable dis
tress this winter. In some sections
feod was very scarce and relief is being
brought in from tho outside. Serious
trouble has probably been avoided by
the Remission of tho grain tax. Before
the decree of the Emperor announcing
this remission was received the efforts
of the officials to collect the tax had re-
suited in serious riots. III town about
fifteen miles south o: Suchow, the house
of leading official was looted by mob
of angry farmers because he had at
tempted to collect the annual tax.
Fortunately for him he was away from
homo on the night of the mob's visit, or
he would probably have Jared very bad
ly. At another place vet nearer our
city 1t was reported that the tax-col-
lector sent out from Suchow had been
met by mob and nearly bitten to
death, while his boat had been sunk.
The report proved false, but was be-
ieVed for many days. This is favorite
method with this people of disposing of
unpopular rulers - they literally bite
them to death, 1t is a horrid crime to
raise weapon of any kind against a
magistrate, and, moreover, it is q crime
that can easily be detected and the
criminal punished. Both tho crime and
detection arc avoided by simply gnaw-
ing the magistrate to death. I don't
think that biting an official violates any
section of the code, and, while biting to
death is no doubt a crimo, yet it would
be very hard to detect the man who
gave the fatal bite. However the prac-
ticc originated, it is certainly both cruel
and rcpulsive. - Suchow (Chinal Cor.

were recovered Thursday morning.
They were floating on the surface

EFFECTS OF SPRAYING PEACH TREES.

Professor Bailey, in a bulletin issued
from the Cornell Agricultural Experiment
Station, Ithaca, N. Y, gives full re-
port of experiments made with spraying
peach foliage with London purple and
Paris green. Following is summary of
same: -. ~|> e..
1. Peach trees are very susceptible to
injury from arsenical sprays. O. London
purple is much more harmful to peach
trees than Paris green, and it should
never be used upon them in any manner
3. Injury is more liable to occur upon
full-grown foliage and hardened shoots
than upon young foliage and soft shoots
4. The immunity of the young growth
is due to It's waxy covering. 5. Injury
late in the season is more apparent than
early in the season, because of the cessa-
ton of growth. 6. Injury from the use
of London purple may be permanent and
irreparable. 7. The length of time
which the poison has been mixed appears
to exercise no influence. s. London
purple contains much soluble arsenic, and
this arsenic is the cause of the injury to
peach foliage. 9. A coarse spray ap-
pears to be more injurious than fine
one. 10. A rain following the applica-
ton does not appear to augment the in
jury. II. Meteorological conditions do
not appear to influence results. IL. Spray
ing the peach with water on bright and
hot day does not scorch the foliage.
13. Paris green, in fine spray, at the
rate of one pound to 800 gallons of water,
did not injure the trees. Probably one
pound to $50 gallons is always safe.
Professor Bailey does not discourage
the general use of London purple, as he
uses it freely upon other plants than the
peach.

FNsILAGE AT 81 PER TON.


In regard to the cost of harvesting and
storing foods for ensilage, Professor Hay
ward, of the Maryland Experiment Sta
ton, says: An accurate record was kept
of the cost of harvesting and storing of
forty-fve tons, put into the silo in three
days, beginning the 18th of September.
The force employed was as follows: porta-
BILE engine, power cutter, one two-mule
cart, one single cart, one mule hauling
fuel and water for engine (making four
mules), one foreman, one engineer and
fireman, two drivers, three corn cutters,
two men at cutting machine, one man
packing in silo and one boy helper on
water cart.
~ The items of cost were these: Hire of
engine and engineer three days, at 81
per day, $12; fuel, So; teams and manual
labor, in all S46.40; putting cover and
weights on silo, So, total, 1874, 40, or 81. 43
per ton. It was estimated that the tan.
gled condition of the corn in the field
fully doubled the labor of cutting and
loading it. Had the feed cutter
been larger the same engine and
fuel could have doubled the quantity cut
per day, although another cart would
khaye been needed in hauling. It is easy

NOODLE PUDDING.

Three eggs beaten light, little salt
and -four to make a paste that will roll.
Roll the paste an eighth of an inch thick,
lay on clean paper for five minutes, let
ting it stand either in the sun or in a
warm oven with the door open. After
taking them out cut in strips two inches
wide; cut fine, then put them in clear,
sailed water which is boiling and allow
them ten minutes for boiling, but do not
let them stick together. Take them out
and drain well; add two well-beaten
eggs, mix them in quart of milk and
stir in the noodles; add salt, sugar and
spice to suit the taste. Bake forty-tive
minutes. Noodles are very nice used in
soup instead of maccaroni.-New York

A GOOD LAUNDRY POLISH.

A laundry polish that is recommended
by an authority on such questions is
made as follows: Dissolve on a slow
fire one ounce of white wax and two
ounce of spermaceti with one large tea
spoonful of salt. Turn into wet cup to
cool. Make boiled starch as usual,
cooking slowly for twenty minutes, and
for every tablespoonful Of dry starch
used put in lump OF the preparation
the size of a cherry. Use no cold starch
and do not sprinkle. When the starched
pieces are dried, lay them in a wet towel
for two hours, and with polishing iron
bring out the gloss.-NeaO York World.

GRASS FOR PIGS,

Various agricultural journals are re-
marking that there is meat in grass for
pigs as well as for cattle and sheep. It
is very true, but it is mistake to sup
pose that the natural diet of pigs is
grass, as it is for ruminant animals like
COWS and sheep. The two latter have
a very bulky double stomach, and will
thrive on coarser fare than the pig, that
has only one digestive apparatus. With
out doubt pigs are often fed on too con-
centrated food, and are benefited by a
run at pasture, especially by the exercise
1t involves. But the notion that grain
or some concentrated food is not needed
even by growing pigs is mistaken one
1t is true pigs thrive we'll on milk, but,
even with the cream taken from it,,~milk
Is much more nutritious and therefore a
more concentrated food than it is often
supposed to be- Cozman's Rural World
