Live Ffnce-Poiti. f
J. B. Allen says, in a letter to the
Prairie Farmer: " I 6ee in your paper
, a good deal is said about live fencersts,
and no one gives a practical idea,
have seen quite a number of live
fence-posts growing. If any of your
numerous readers wish to try it, let
them get either willow, ootton-wood, or
Lombardy poplar, large enough for
posts, cut it off the right length, space
it oft the width they want the planks
apart, take a two-inch auger, bore two
or three holes?to suit the board for sixinch
fence-plank two holes are enough
?then chop out the centre with a long,
narrow bit-ax, point the plank so each
end will pass into the post, dig the
holes, set the posts in early spring as
soon as the frost is out of the ground,
taking'care not to injure the bark, and
either of the woods named will grow.
Get young, thrifty timber, not too
large. Cutting holes through the post
does not injure it from growing, and the
plank remains firm, if not broken, for

the ends want pointing to pass in the 1
post." I
Swine Breeding. |
Prof. G. W. Jones, in the Farmers' :
Home Journal says: '.'For the health of I
swine, I have oounted the following con- i
dition essential: i
Abundant, nutritious, and varied food <
at regular intervals. i
Comfortable shelter from rains, hot i
suns and cold winds. i
Pure water and pure air. i
Access to fresh earth.
Exercise and sunshine. i
"Which of these conditions is most im- >
portant, I do not know, but I am sure
that failure in any one of them will work
mischief. I have myself carefully attended
to them all, and bo far have no
sicknbss, no sows to die in farrowing,
no sows to eat their young, no broken
down foot joints, no barrenness; but as
I look about among my neighbors, I see
frequent failures. One gentleman has
recently lost forty-five out of fortv-eight
pigs, mostly at three to five weeks old.
Upon examination, I found they were
confined in small floored pens, with no
access to the ground; other pigs near
by which ran out, but received the same
treatment otherwise, were doing well. I
believe fresh earth would have helped 1
them. Another gentleman has his pigs
stinted;, they are in a small lot, with insufficient
shelter and are fed mainly on 1
corn-meal. A large range, better shelter

them." ;
Preierrliig Meat.
Moisture is necessary to the decom- j
position of any organic matter. A per- \
feetly dry atmosphere will prevent the 1
putrefaction of flesh for an indefinite ]
time by absorbing or removing the mois- \
ture or water from it. The hanging of j
meat at a considerable elevation would ;
have no effect in preserving it from de- j
composing. One reason why ventilation
assists in keeping fresh meat in j
better condition than it could be kept ;
in a close apartment is simply that mois- j
ture is removed by the passing current \
of air, but that is the whole effect of i
ventilation. It is probable that in the j
absence of ice, meat may be preserved i
a short time by keeping it in a tight \
box suspended over a layer of freshly ,
burned lime, which has a great affinity ]
for water. This would render the at- j
mosphere of the box dry and help to
keep the meat. Freshly burned char- ]
coal would have the same effect, or any i
other rapid absorbent of moisture. i
Harness Polish. 1
The Carriage Journal gives the following
mixture for harness polish, viz.:
5 pounds of stearine, 7$ pounds of oil of .
turpentine, and one ounce of bone black.
The stearine is beaten, cut into thin
sheets, the oil of turpentine is then
poured over it and incorporated with it;
the mass is then melted in a water bath
(a vessel surrounded with hot water)
awl while liquid the bone black is stir
red into it. It in then allowed to cool,
being well stirred until cold. In using
it a small portion is put on a thick wool- '
en cloth, and rubbed on the leather;
after stunding an hour or two a fine !
polish is obtained by rubbing with an ;
old silk handkerchief. By this polish
an old harness may be made to look al- ,
most equal to new.
Bad Kor The Bugs. \
The method of preparing the lime
and carbolic acid powder for the cab- i
bage worm is as follows: "Take lime i
and water in the proportion of 28 pounds 1
of lime to 9 pounds (or pints) of water '
(any less quantities in the same propor- <
tion) when the lime is fresh. Mix one 1
ounce of solution of carbolic acid as
sold in the drug stores (20 parts of wa- <
ter to 1 of crystallized acid) to every
quart of water. Pour the water and i
acid upon the lime iu a pail, by which 1
it will fall to pieces and become re- i
duced to a fine powder. This powder '
is known as carbolate of lime, and is a 1
very good remedy against almost every 1
insect pest, especially the cabbage t
worm, squash bugs of all 6orts, and the i
striped cucumber bug. i
Indian Love. i
Even the Apache Indians have a ^
touch of delicate romance in them. (
Every young girl is at liberty to refuse i
a suitor. Not parents or brothers may ,
interfere in her choice. After a brief f
courtship tbo lover makes a formal pro- ]
posal by offering so many horses, i
Horses are a standard of value among
Indians. As the sqnaw does all the
work, horses are accepted as at equivalent
for her labor. When a young warrior
becomes enamored, he fastens the
horse near the wigwam of the squaw
whose hand he seeks, where he is left
for four days. If she fails to feed and
water the horse during that time, the
master is rejected ; but if she accepts
his offer she grooms and kindly cares for r
the horse, and then ties him to the wigwam
of her lover, as much as to say, " I
am willing to be your slave and do your
work."
. Crowded.?Few are aware of the
vast number of people that can be placed
in a small space. When we speak of
millions of men we are apt to picture
to ourselves an almost boundless mass
of humanity, yet a million of people
standing together, each person occupy- '
ing four square feet, could be placed on
a patch. A square mile would accommodate
6,965,000. The whole population
of the United States would hardly cover
two and a half miles spuare, and the
population of the entire world could be
easilvaccommodatedon a tract of twelve
miles long and twelve wide?less in ex- '
tent than some townships. '
How the Soldiers Build Bridges.
in Interesting Incident of the Yellow* 8
tone Expedition.
The Northwestern Expedition nnder
}en. Stanley lias met with no little *
rouble. A correspondent tells how *
hey crossed a swollen stream with no *
jridge and no pontoon. How to cross (
t, was the question. There were two '
jropositions. One was to construct a ,
rope-line elevated railway, with an .
lerial car to be pulled back and forth
sy hand. Another proposition made by ,
Lieut. P. H."Ray, of the 8th U. S. in- i
fantry, was to extemporize a boat. All ,
;hat he asked was a wagon bed, some
rope, and a tarpaulin. The railroad ,
Inally gave way to the boat line. There '
ivas danger in hauling a car back and
forth, that its center of gravity might ,
not receive due respect, in which case
tee should rob our norses to feed the
stream. On the other hand there was
much distrust in the boat. Prophetic- ,
illy it sprung a leak several times be- i
fore it was launched. Hypothetically, .
it was so laden with contingencies that
there was no need of launching it at all.
But Lieut. Ray said, I shall show my .
faith by my works. Gen. Stanley aniwered
Yea. A wagon body was dismounted.
It was wrapped on its bottom :
and aides in a heaw "Daulin" which '
was firmly secured by ropes. It was ;
the work of a few minutes to make it ,
and launch it. The heavy canvas effec- ,
tually kept out water. It was safely ;
navigated to the other side. General ,
Stanley and Lieutenant Ray were j
among the first to cross the rapid .
stream. A number of men, stationed ;
on each side, easily pulled the boat 1
across, receiving no little aid from the
current. On this little craft we could !
safely put 1,000 pounds of forage. It ,
solved one element in the problem. In
five or six hours we had ferjied enough
stores and forage to supply the company
of cavalry and two compauies of infan- j
try that formed the surveyor's escort.
The next question was, how should
we get over our heavy train and teams? [
On Sunday afternoon, while we were
crossing our forage, the stream showed
a decided tendency to fall. Its level
was quoted at various stages during the
day, but toward night our stake showed
a decrease of three or four inches. It
is characteristic of these streams that
they rise and fall very rapidly. If the
rise is rapid, the fall that succeeds is
most likely to be so too. As the stream
was decreasing, it was hoped that by 1
morning it would be sufficiently low
and narrow to permit building with the
snort umuer uiui grew uiung its uum&b.
The hope was delusive, the expectation
vain. Instead of going down, the
stream, refreshed by some remote tributary,
went up to its original height.
When Monday morning camp, we were
just as far from the other side as the
day before.
Gen. Stanley was determined to wait
no longer. Lieut Ray oqco more^solvcd 1
the problem. He offered to built a
bridge and cross the command. But
how could he build a bridge without ;
timber, pontoons, or lumber ? We have
in this expedition over 100 water kegs. ;
Nearly all of them are reformed whisky
kegs.
Ninety- six empty kegs were accordingly
ordered to report at the stream. 1
Four wagon beds were dismembered of
their covers and wheels. Twenty-five or 1
thirty men were then set to work to bung '
plug and the kegs. Only those thoroughly
coopered were accepted ; the dry and
unserviceable ones were rejected and
their places supplied by others. Each 1
af the wagon-beds just held twenty-four \
kegs placed on their ends side by side
in three rows. Some timber was, mean- 1
while, cut into poles, and one pole j
placed lengthwise over each row of kegs ;
to keep them in place. Ropes and
chains were passed over the poles and
completely around the wagon-beds, so
that the booms and kegs were firmly
secured. The wagon-bodies were then
dragged down the bank and launched i
in the water bottom side up?that is,
with the kegs down. Each wagon bed
was then floating upside down, upheld
by twenty-four air tight kegs. These
extemporized floats were then moored
lengthwise in the stream. The next
trouble was to lash them securely side
by side. This was no easy matter; but
Mr. Ray met it as he did every other
difficulty in the construction with a
ready brain and a ready hand. He had
one man on the first float with him, with
his coatoff and sleeves rolled up, lashed
them together with his own hands. The
shores were lined with officers and men
watching the experiment. Very little
confidence was expressed in the structure
by the wagon master and teamsters.
" I tell yer," said one, 41 this here thing
sunt' goin' to work no how. Jest as
soon as one of them big wagins gits on
that bridge the old thing '11 sink an*
wagins aud mules will go down." Some
of the less experienced officers considered
the whole thing us a foregone failure.
The bridge, like the boat, was born under
a cloud of doubt.
By means of some wagon reaches and
a plenty of picket rope, the floats were
dually fastened together. If we had had
some plank now to place across the inserted
wagon beds, one bridge would
liave been completed, if we had only
brought one plank to each vagon in our
train we should have had ten times as
much as we could use. But we had not
a single available plank on board. We
were compelled to fall back on our extra 1
wagon tongues and reaches. These
were placed side by side across the 1
wagon beds ; they did not make a very 1
;ven floor, but it was tho best we could 1
lo. The bank had been previously cut
iway to form a gradual descent. It
was easy to connect the float with the
ihore.
The bridge was done. I imagine that 1
Liieut. Ray watched with considerable 1
nterest the crossing of the first wagon. '
lo secure greater suieiv uiv mines were '
ietached nnd led down the bank and '
>ver the bridge. The wagon wheels '
vere locked and the wagon gently let *
lown to tho bridge. A detail of men 1
>u the other bailk then took the rope ]
ind pulled the heavy-laden vehicle \
icross the float and up the oppt 'site i
)ank. Under the great weight the I
>ridge Bunk to the water's edge but no <
urther. The wagon crossed in safety. ]
L'he success was repeated 250 times. <
Vhen finally all our teams nnd meu <
vero safely lauded on the other side i <
vithout a single accident, without los- <
ng a pound of forage or a single piece ! 1
>f hard tack, the bridge had published <
ts own triumph and the doubters were
lilent.
General Stanley cheerfully gave 1
he credit of the whole matter to Lieut. 1
lay, which that young and excellent ]
ifficer nobly deserves. Lieut. Ray is ;
ho same young officer, who, when his
egiment was stationed in New York
larbor rescued a boat load of citizens
:aught in the ice, performing a most 1
leroic act.

Stare Bobbery In California*
lenttor Sargent Fallen among Thieves
?Ten Thousand bollan In |Coln Stolen.
On the arrival of the east-bound train
rom San Francisco and Sacramento at
3olfax, the stage started as usual for
jlrass Valley and Nevada with a load
>f passengers and Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
reasure box. When opposite Sheet's
-anch, the stage came to a sudden halt,
[t was then about half past 7 o'clock in
ihe evening. Four men bad suddenly
stepped out from among the rocks or
3ushes, each wearing a black mask and
levelling a double-barrelled shot gun at
;he driver. Each was observed to carry
a revolver in addition to his gan.
ihe stage was driven by Bob Scott, who
it first demurred to the proposition to
dismount. He was assured by one of
the robbers that they meant business,
ind that th&e was no time to waste in
parleying. Scott concluded to dismount.
Two of the men stood at the
liorses' heads, and the other two paid
their respects to the passengers. At
the suggestion of the other highwayrr*Qrt"
or? ^ fb*A7i orb fbn noranaQiro nnwpr
? rv.???,vr?nv.
Df a shot gun on each side of the stage,
the passengers all vacated the Btage.*
There were in all thirt^n passengers.
Among them were Juuge McFarland,
Brig-Gen. Cadwalader and Senator A.
A.. Sargent. The passengers were directed
to sit down on the ground, and
were arranged in a row about thirty leet
from the stage. The only weapon in
the stage was a Derringer pistol in the
pocket of Gen. Cadwalader. Some of
the passengers say that with three or
four double-barrelled guns levelled at
% person by men with black masks on
their faces, the most natural impulse
conceivable is to obey orders, and when
told to sit down they did just as they
were directed to do. One of tlie jobbers
then took a position in front of the
line with his gun levelled, from which
he could command one or all of the passengers
as necessity might require.' He
informed them that if they remained
quiet they would not be molested, and
their property would not be disturbed,
but that it would be dangerous for any
one to make any demonstration or resistance.
The horses were unhitched from the
stage and taken a short distance from
the spot. While one man guarded the
passengers another held the horses, and
the remaining two directed their attention
to the treasure in the stage. It is
generally understood that of late years
substantial iron chepts are constructed
under the hind seats of all stages which
are used to carry Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
express matter. This fact the robbers
of course knew, and they came fully
prepared for the emergency, having
with them a supply of both blasting
and giant powder. They used both,
and put in a blast which shivered the
chest to pieces, knocked the lid through
the top of the stage and shattering the
stage in other respects so as to almost
destroy the body. It is reported that
the passengers, sitting on the ground
in such close proximity to the stage, did
?* ? i 1- 1 x
not enjoy tne nreworKs very mucu, oui
none of them was injured by the blast.
The robbers now found it easy to secure
all the treasure in the box. Having
removed it to a convenient distance
they hitched up the horses and loaded
up the passengers and told the driver
to drive on. The stage moved forward
and the highwaymen remained where
they were until space and darkness hid
them from view.
The robbers secured $7,000 in coin
and several other sums consigned te
Dther parties in Grass Valley and Nevada.
It is conceded by all that these
additional sums amounted to $1,000,
and some reports place them as high as
51,000. The total amount carried oS
was not less than $8,000 and not more
than $11,000.
A Marvelous Change.
The extraordinary change that has
taken place in Japan in ten years is
hard to believe. It is but ten years
since the country was opened to foreign
commerce, and already in Yokohama
and Yeddo, there are many hundreds
of native shops, selling foreign goods,
besides those kept by foreigners. In
addition to this, it is stated as a remarkable
fact, that a large part of the male
portion of the middle and upper classes
dress entirely in our style. Even old
men, too old to sport the new costume,
look with delight upon their grandsons
dressed in hats, boots, and what belongs
between, and take pride to show off in
the streets their "young Japan" thus
apparelled. The army and navy are
remodelled on European systems in organization,
arms and uniforms, down
to the common trumpet, drum aud fife.
They have stages, steamers and telefrrnnliR
nnrl n. ennfraet has been made
for a railroad. There are two extensive
foundaries, with foreign machinery,
in the country, and several docks.
As to the matter of diet, beef, the abomination
of Buddhism, begins largely to
be consumed, and bread is much liked.
In the heart of the capital sewing machines
hum in the tailors' shops. A
foreign college in Yeddo has hundreds
of boys studying English, French and
German. Eight foreign physicians instruct
in medical colleges. Newspapers
are published in several places, with
their columns of "Foreign" and "Telegrams,"
clipped and translated from
our standard papers. Bookstores,
selling English and French books, are
seen in many places; and the quantity
of books imported is immense.
A Fish Story.
The Rutland (Vt.) llcrald is responsible
for these assertions: "An old
resident of Castletou, who lives in the
vicinity of Bomoseeu Lake, was recently
fishing in the lake, being anchored
but a few rods from shore, when ho had
1 most extraordinary 4 bite and take ' at
the end of his line and hook. With an
unlimited amount of exertion he pulled
up?a four-gallon jug, with something
inside tugging at the line. Upon breaking
the jug a three-pound pickerel was
found. The probabilities are, that the
5sh, in his early 4 fishhood,' being of u
philosophical turn of mind, or being
nit on a 4 little time,' in search of something
to make his heart happy, had en
tered his jug, and being unable to gel
jut, hud remained there ever since, till
lie hnd attained his present weight and
age."
A curious battle took place, recently,
nt Felham, N. H., between u hen and a
make which wanted to dine off some oi
the young chicks. The matronly hen
made a loud out-cry, and at the approach
of the reptile flew at it with
ruffled feathers and threatening beak,
which its adversary evaded as best il
could, but finally, after repeated efforts
to secure a chicken and as many rebuffs
by the hen, it crawled off into a wall,
and the frightened and enraged bird
cl acked a retreat, and got away without
the loss of a single member of hei
family.
A Meeting of Long Parted LoYers?
An Ashtabula correspondent delates
the following: A beautiful, brownhaired
daughter of Sweden was the
heroine of a romance having its termination
in Ashtabula recently, which
throws the "novel writers" completely
into the shade. Twenty years ago,
when a little fifteen year old damsel, she
was wooed and fairly won by Christian
Hanquest, a bright lad twenty years of
age, in far off Sweden. - The parents of
the girl were of higher rank than the
relatives of poor Christian, and as soon
as they learned of the preference manifested
by the young couple for each
other, they ruthlessly "tore their young
hearts asunder," and probably "packed
the girl off to boarding school," if
there was such a cruel institution in
Sweden.
Christian bore his hard fate at home
as long as he was able, when, finding
all efforts to see his betrothed fruitless,
he ventured upon the ocean as a common
sailor. After a lapse of several
years Hanquest returned to find his
friends and relatives scattered or dead
and himself a total stranger. He was.
unable to find even the slightest trace
of his sweetheart. Hanquest had
amassed quite a little fortune iq his
wanderings, but his unsuccessful efforts
to find his beloved, for whom he had
labored so long, caused him to care but
little as to the manner in which it was
spent, and finally tforew himself once
more on his own resources, without
money or friends, in the early Part of
the year 1872. He was in an English
seaport when he became rid of his last
"red," and shipped upon an American
vessel and worked his passage to New
York. While there, hearing stories of
the fabulous wages which were paid
sailors upon the inland lakes, he went
to Canada and engaged himself on a
schooner. Here, however, he found
his golden dreams were naught, and,
reaching Cleveland, he started on foot
to Buffalo, where several of his friends
from the old country were living.
Hanquest spent the night of the 3rd
ult. at Ashtabula, and in conversation
with some of his countrymen who were
employed on the railroad, he incidentally
related fragments of his past history,
among them an account of his
early love. Wlule he was speaking a
Swedish lady, aged about thirty-five
years, who resides in Jamestown, N. Y.,
and who was spending a few days in
Ashtabula, exclaimed in the language
of her Fatherland: "Christian, do you
know me ?" and fell weeping upon his
shoulder. The wanderer had found his
, mate ; but we draw a curtain over the
scene, as too hallowed for the prying
eyes of a reporter to penetrate.
The reunited couple started for
Jamestown, where they will soon be
joined in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The fair one's parents are said to be
highly respectable people, and they will
probably not now maintuin any opposition
to what is evidently the manifest
destiny oi tneir aaugnter, who ior bo
long a period has remained single.
Hunquest will doubtless settle down
into a sober and industrious citizen.
A Double Execution.
Joshua Nicholson and Thomas R.
Hollahan, who murdered Mrs. Mary
Ann Lampley, an old lady aged 72, on
the night of Jan. 2 last, and also robbed
the house, suffered the extreme
penalty of the law at Baltimore.
Both prisoners walked with a firm
step, Hollahan nodding pleasantly to
, the jail officials as he passed along.
Theyascended the steps of the platform
with a steady tread, the countenances
of each beaming with smiles. Both addressed
the people assembled, saying
that their sentences were just, and they
were willing to die.
The men then took their positions on
the platform, Nicholson on the left and
Hollahan on the right side of the platform.
Sheriff Kane then advanced to
Nicholson and adjusted the rope around
his neck and the white cap over his
face, after which he approached Hollahan,
who, as the Sheriff lifted the rope
to raise it over his head, bowed low,
i and as he rose received the fatal noose,
i at the same time requesting tho Sheriff
. to be particular in placing the knot
under his ear. The white cap was then
i drawn over his face. During these proi
eendinps the attendant ministers were
i comforting the doomed men with words
i af consolation. All preparations being
i now concluded, Hollahan said in a
clear, firm voice : " Brother Nicholson,
t give me your hand, I bid you good-by."
With their pinioned arms and bound
hands they bade each other adieu as
i best they could. Both men died quickly
after the drop fell.
Life in a Hogshead.
, About ten years ago a traveling tinker
named Kenniston, well known through
out Picataquis county, Maine, mysteriously
disappeared, and fears were entertained
that he had been murdered.
. But in a short time ho was discovered
' to be living the life of a hermit on a
1 lonely island on the Moosehead Lake.
His dwelling-house befitted the fortunes
of a retired tinker, being in summer
a largo dry goods box. In winter,
| Diogenes-like, he esconced himself in
a hogshead. He lived on the frugal
fare which dame Nature provides in
that region, and appeared happy. His
clothing bill during the ten years of his
. voluntary exile did not amount to So.
I His original garments were in a few
years entirely gone and replaced by
> patches innumerable and of all colors.
His little store of money, earned by
' trapping, he carried in a patch on his
1 trowsers. His social visits were limited
' to occasional journeys ncross the lake
1 to another island on which also lived a
' hermit of like habits of life. This sum'
mer Kenniston's friends sought him
out, and yielding to their persuasions
1 he has abandoned his summer and win!
ter " residences," and retired to civil1
ized life.

Call for What Yon Want.
A few evenings sit^e, a would-be c
young blood entertained two young 1
ladies at a New York saloon, and dtlf- t
ing the interview suggested that "we 1
all take something," and, looking over
the bill of fare, his eye fondly rested l
on "Champagne cider, 50 cents," the t
loudest-named beverage on the bill. J
"One bottle of Champagne," ordered
the gent, pnrposly omitting the word
cider, for effect with the young ladies, t
but with a conscience resting easy at 1
fifty centy. The affable waiter brought j
the article ordered, which was swallowed
with a keen relish, and it was not
till the young gent confronted the cash- (
ier, where |four dollars for Heidsick ;
were demanded, that he realized that it i
was best to call for what he wanted,
without any French airs. There was a J
sudden shortening of stature as the |
young man slid down into his boots,
and pulled out the legal-tender.

Teresa Cherra was a little Italian girl
only six years old. We often hear the
expression "frightened to death" used
in a hyperbolical senfce; but this child
was really frightened to death on a recent
Sunday in the streets of our city.
Probably she was not unused to crowded
streets, such being the sad experience
of many of the little Italians in our
midst; but evidently she was sensitive,
and not accustomed to roughness. For
one day she came running home to her
parents, wild with excitement, sobbing
and shrieking in a hysteric way that
nothing could check. All that could be
gathered from her wild words was that
some man had rudely laid hands upon
her. Phy-icians were summoned, but
they could do nothing for her; the
child would not allow herself to be
touched, but died while they were cononlf.iTinr?frialitpnerl
to dentil.
