ton of the rivers to be as
cended. The squadron carried 200 guns
and 2, 800 men. Flag Officer w. Bradford
Shubrick was placed in command, and he
took on board his flagship with him Hon.
Mr.. Bowlin, who was appointed special
commissioner of the United States in
trusted with the negotiations.
1t was just at the close of, 1858 that the
force assembled at Montevideo. The Water
Witch was one of the force, but this time
she was all in trim for hostile ac-
tion. The other ships were two frig-
ates, the Sabine and the st. Law
renee; two sloops of war, the Falmouth and
the Preble; three brigs, the Dolphin,
the Bainbridge and the Perry; six steamers,
the Memphis the Caledonia, the Southern
Star, the Westernport, the NJ. w. Chaplin
and the Metacomb; the revenue steamer
Harriet Laud, and two armed steamships,
the Supply and Release.
Demands for Reparation Backed Up.
On January %, 1859, this squadron sailed
up and came to anchor off Ascension, the
capital of Paraguay. President Urguiza, of
the Argentine Confederacy. had yolun-
teered his services as mediator in the dis
pute, and had arrived at Paraguay in ad-
vance of the United States officials The ne
gotiations were opened, and Mr.. Bowlin
made his demand for immediate reparation.
Meanwhile, such of our warships as were
capable of ascending the river had male
their way through the numerous difficulties
of currents, shoals and sand bars and came
to chosen position, where they made
ready, in case of necessity, to open fire.
The force within striking distance of Para
quay consisted of L. 740 men, besides the Off
GERS, and 7S guns, including % 9-inch and
one 11-inch she'll guns.
Then Lopez and his Government came to
the conclusion that the United States meant
business. By February Mr. Bowlin's
demands were acceded to. Satisfactory
apologies were made for the firing
on the Water Witch, and pecuniary
compensation was given to the family
of the sailor who had been killed. In ad-
dition to this new commercial treaty was
established and cordial relations between
the two Governments were fully restored.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Jan. 81 Special. ]
There was great stir in society here to-
day when it became known that A H Ver-
rill and Miss May Mccarthy had eloped
and had been married in New York. Owing
to the wide difference in their social posi-
tions the RUNAWAY marriage has created a
sensation. Young Verrin is the son of Ad-
Olson e. Verrill, Professor of Zoology in
Yale University. He is an artist of
considerable ability. Miss Mccarthy is the
daughter of E. H. Mccarthy, a wholesale
liquor dealer OF considerable wealth. Ver-
ri1l is rather dashing young fellow. His
parents learned short time ago that he
was paving attention to Miss Mccarthy.
and ordered him not to visit the young
woman again. Miss McCarthy's parents
looked with favor on Verrill's suit
On Thursday evening Verrill and Miss
Mccarthy boarded an evening train for New
York There they went to the Church of
the Holy Cross, where they were married
by Rev. Charles McCreedy They returned
to this city to-day, and are stopping at the
Tontine Hotel temporarily. Prof Verrill
and his wife are not reconciled to the match.
Young Verrill and wife will leave shortly
for Costa Rica, where he has obtained a
situation in the National Museum.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The Engii''l i.apers
evidently consider Mr.. Patrick Egan to be
the main cause of the trouble between the
United States and Chile. The ST. James
Gazette says:
Much may be excused in country which

The Pail Mall Gazette says:
1t is difficult to understand why the United
States harasses Chile the way it is doing.
The fact that Minister Egan's son is prose-
cutting Chile for revoking a railway con-
cession throws flood of light upon the SUBJ
ject.
The Ne,cs regards n 7~e as election
bluster. but says:
possibly deny THAT ine circular of
Foreign Minister Malta was offensive
to this United States Governments. No false
pride should restrain the Chileans from dis
avowing this act of an infiscreet Minister
and so paving the way for a settlement of
their own scores against America.
The Chronicle says:
After hearing the language President Har-
rison felt justified in using toward Chile, one
cannot help wondering why Mr.. Egan was
not recalled. The coming elections
probably account for the animated
language of the message. Mr.. Harrison 3
declaration that America does not covet ter
ritory ought not to be taken as a pledge, but
rather as an ingenious device to allay sus-
picion not groundless. 1t remains to be
seen what the Pan Americanism of Mr..
Blaine and his friends will be content with.
The Daily Telegraph has this:
Nothing has yet occurred to justify the
alarmiss rumors of q resort to hos
tilities. Mr.. Harrison carefully alb
stains from any words calculated
TO embitter diplomatic relations.
Impartial Americans must acknowledge
that Chile has some justification for its
irritation. President Harrison defends
Mr.. Egan in terms not of unmixed
probation. 1t is extremely unlikely
that Chile will venture to defy the
power of America. There only needs to be
little extension OF the spirit OF compromise
and Cancellation which Chile has already ex-
hibited, 70 remove the differences between
the two countries speedily and peaceably.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 25-The Republic (Dem.)

Mr.. Harrison tries to produce the
impression that Chile has refused
to express regret for the acts of
the Valparaiso mob, whereas the CORE
spondence shows that Don Pedro Montt, the
Chilean Minister at Washington, has con-
veyed to this Government the assurance Of
the friendly feelings of Chile. There isa scan
dal behind this business. Meantime, on the
face of it, it is clear that the whole business
as it stands is the most treacherous, the
most pusillanimous, the meanest and most
cowardly that any American administra-

quart of coal oil and two pounds Of
sulphur into each barrel of swill.
ROBERT STEELE. the famous breed

harness. He finds it necessary to be-
gin early with the education of a

A BREEDER that cannot recognize
the merits of the various strains of

will never make a success in the bust

AFTER calf raised by feeding Is a
month old it will commence eating
clover hay and can always be fed hay
and bran to an advantage.
If good care has been taken in
breeding and feeding, from twenty
four to thirty months is the most
profitable age at which cattle should
be marketed.
SKIM milk Is capital to feed the

A pig that is stunted while young
Is not worth feeding to maturity.
This is especially true OF pigs far
rowed late In the fall, and with
which sufficient care has not been
taken to give them a good start be-
fore cold weather. The feed that
will be required to keep such until
spring will be worth more than the
pigs Much the best practice, and
one that is being more generally
adopted every year, is to breed the
sows in the fall so as to start the pigs
off on green food in the spring. This
is much more economical, and the
pigs are pretty sure to do better; but
If you are i'm for the winter feeding OF
lot now, try and do it well. 1t is
best to give some slop or ensilage, in
stead OF an entire grain ration. A
slop made Of bran with skim milk
will be good for the youngsters AS
they get little larger give them
some soaked oats. Small potatoes,
boiled and mixed with bran, will also
give them variety of food, and such
as will promote growth rather than
fattcning. There is money in pigs,
but it requires good care to get 1t all

Plymouth Rock and Brahmas TO

ways; for instance, it takes time TO
make heavy growth and size, which,

There is some advantage in having a
pullet to come in early for laying, as

bulk is great desideratum in

by mixing bran with corn-meal, and
feeding oats rather than much corn.
Corn-meal alone is far too heavy.

A good shorthorn is valuable
wherever it may be placed-in the
dairy for milk, or to feed for beef, but
its most important characteristic, and
that which makes it Of exceptional
value to the general farmer. is adap-
ton for the improvement OF other
breeds by crossing. The mixture Of
it's blood with common or unimproved
stock is quick TO show good results,
and it is in that way it has proven OF
such great value to the cattle inter

breeds may take the palm for special
purpose, farmer cannot go far

In using large milk cans to set milk
in for the creamery there is an addi-

breeds that give the largest fat glo-
bules leave the smallest amount
of fat in the skimmilk and they are
the Guernseys, Jerseys. BY setting
the milk OF cows that have been in
milk nine months, the best way pos
sible, it is impossible to get more
than two-thirds of the cream. The
only way to get it Is by the centrifu-
gal system, which ought not to leave
more than onc-tenth of per cent. Of

churning sweet cream between and

odors in milk can be taken out by
heating the milk to Ice degrees but
it is better to heat the cream than
