(CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.) Hints on Poultry. In building new hen houses, we dcum it well to recommend, for economy's sake, that the walls be carried up not too high from tbs ground. The inside of a fowl house noed not be orer seven or eight feet high, at th? eaves, oe either side, with a "one-third pitch" above this foi the roof. If the building has only a "shed" roof, or ono siant of covering, the back wall may bo three to five feet high, and the front seven or eight feet from the sill?, In all cases look well to tho means oi having the building Mioroughly ventila ted, when desired. An opening in the ridgo for this purpose, or ono ut both sides of the huuso under the eaves, ia best. Have a scroin, trap-door, or slide Inside, that may be r,.ised or shut at will conveniently, in very cold weather. There will "come very sharp or stormy nights in winter, when there must be no opening in the house to admit the snow, sleet or bitter frosty air. Clear rye bran, alone, should never be fed to fowls, on account of its swelling and caking, iu mass, in the crop, and proving fatal to chicken-life, not infre quently. , It will thuB Bodden and increase in bulk very rapidly, before digesting causing rupture of the crop-if any great quantity has been eaton. A neighbor, we recollect, in a hurried way mixed a largo pan full with water and placed th? mess before a nice flock ot three-quarters grown chickens-leaving them to enjoy tho feed at their leisure. He drove away ia the wagon, and after an absence of a few hours returned to find his birds scat tered about, dead, in bia yards. It is very good when mixed with wheat bran ana oat-meal or corn-meal. But, by itself, it should not bo fed to fowl stock. Fowls drink water freely, but they know just how much they need, and when they bate access to the fluid clean, sweet and fresh, they imbibe no more than is good for them, lt is, therefor?, unnecessary to mix your dough too thin, and sloppy, at the morning feeding. Have trie meal well scalded, and feet! the mixture to tho stock ?tiff and dry, comparatively. This feed should, gen erally, be composed of both corn ana rye meal, with vegetables-say one-third each. In our own practice we have found this preferoVte, both for tho birds and as an economical prevision, for the oidor the growing stock. A little pep. fer occasionally in this dough, ana al ways salt, will improve the mess. Calves' or sheep's lights and livers, which can alwsys be obtained in the market-houses for a few cents apiece, are valuable to feed fowls, for-two reasons. They aro devoid of bones, and they closely resemble insect diet We advise the cooking of any sort of meat food FlOlfTlNa A VtUklX-A correspon dent ofthe Raleigh Obeerter, writing from Moorhead City, coast of North Carolina, say? : Last week there was tbe most exciting and dangerous whale fight that bas ever occurred on this coast. It was with some difficulty that the captain of the crew could get his mea to obey orden. When the first bomb was fired into tho whale it failed to explode. This made the whale furious, when at this instant be struck one of tbs botts and knocked Lt soma above the cr?ter. Tho cap tain fired another bomb ; this failed of sxpiceion! she fight was still getting ?sore furious. The third bomb was fired md exploded near the heart. This con fered the monster. The blood spouted tome ten feet; high, and es the crew rushed a stiele their lances in bim. the blood wi, in snowew upon them' and. their xv.ts. The fight was witnessed by mother crew stationed about seven niles above them. They looked on with le'.fght, ooly wishing they could get in 0 such a bloody contest.

Ihm T.i?.l r..r .. ? ?.-"--' WASHINGTON, March 81. The Republican 8enatora had a caucus of two boura' length yesterday, and from the close manner In which tho proceed ings aro guarded it baa been inferred that something important mutt have occurred. There waa nothing, however, in the pro ceedings ol a sensational character. The caucus waa called for the purpose of J securing au exchange of ideas sw to what ought to be doue to make the Itepi'tUcan party a unit in tue Senate, lt has long been a subject of regret to tbo Re publican Senators that they no longer bad any power in tba: body, because they were not united, while the Demo crats, by ataying together and voling together, nearly always carried their points. The attendance waa quite small. Messrs. Conkling, Howe, Hoar. Jones, Mitchell, Patterson and Conover were among the absent. Nearly all of those present had something to say, and whilst it is impossible, owing to tho strict se crecy imposed, to elvo what each one s&id, the fact is undoubted that the gen eral sentiment was strong against the course of tho President, and that oven what are known as thc administration Senators, namely, Matthews, Burnside, Cbriatiniicy, Hoar and iJawes, were not as outspoken in favor of conciliation a*, formerly. Mr. Matthews had "ory little to say, and was much less amiable than formerly bia feelings toward the 1'residunts course. It was suggested, however, that .nother effort should be made to induce the President to act more in accordance the Republican party in Congress. Edmunds, Blaine, Hamlin and others opposed any further oiTort. Mr. Ed munds called attention to tho efforts of] himself and ochers some months ?tgo, >nd again detailed his experience at the White House. Tho President was very agreeable and gave the gentlemen to understand that lie should bc in full har mony with thc party in the Senate. It was charged yesterday that since that time he bad not done ono act in harmony with the pt-rty, and that it was useless './ attempt to make him seo the importanee of united action or to do nytbing to strengthen and perpetuate the party. Ho was charged with conceit, indiscretion and deception, and one Senator said that it was useless to attempt to Influence such n man. The only way was for the Republican Senators to stand together, and th?y could thu* force tho President appoint only Republicans to office, j Several of the Senators said they would not humiliate thei".:i'lves by hanging around tho President begging' for favors which they might know would nover be granted. Mr. Paddock and Mr. Saunders, who havo rather favored the conciliation policy, acknowledge that they have enough of it. Tho appointment of Pro fessor Hoyt for Governor of Wyoming, in place of ex-Senator Thayer, has hau the cflcct of changing their ideas. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, is also lesa con ciliatory than formerly, owing to the President's want of frnnknesa towards the Wisconsin delegation which called on him and urged the appointment of ox-Repreaeutativu Cobb ns Register of tho 'rreaaury. Senator Spencer said it was useless to ?pend any more timo in trying to keep Mr. Hayes in tho Repub lican party. He had done ali ho could to destroy the party, and had succeeded admirably in the South. There waa no 1 -. %er any uso of canvassing and mnk inj resolutions. He demanded to know how many Senators on that floor had been consulted by the Preaident or member;] of tho Cabinet regarding mat tera in their own States, and be thought that inaamuch as the President had manifeoted a desire to get along without Senators and members it was tittie else than presumption for them to persist in interfering ot the White House. Their line of duty as Republican Senators waa plain, md for bia part ho intended to follow it. Owing to the small attendance and tho difficulty of agreeing upon any plan of action nothing nss accomplished by tbs caucus save tho development of the in tenae hostility toward the President and tho necessity of all the Son atora uniting and working together. Another meeting will be held during tbs present week and a strong effort wi.I bo made to cocure a full attendance. A Husband Market. A strong minded woman married a man not neted for activity of body or onergy of character, and before the honeymoon waa over, upon awakening ono morning, he found hia spouse in tears. "Mv love," said he, "what is tho mat ter?"" "Oh Pvo had such a dreadful dream." "Why, what waa it." "I thought I waa going out Washington street when I saw a sign, 'Husbands for Sile." So many women were rushing in that I followed, and just then they wero selling a splendid specimen for $1,000." "But did they all bring as much aa that?" "Oh, no. They wont at il,000, $000 and ao on down." "Well, did you seo any that looked like me f" "Yes, indeed. But they wero tied np in bunches like asparagus, and sold for ten cents a bunch." Tableau. A TEHBIDLE CLOUDBURST.-A correa ?ondont writing from Potter Valley, [ondocino County, California, gives the following graphic account of tho rafe storm and of? a terrible cloudburst in that section of the country. Up to dato of writing, thero had been in Potter val ley 43.60 inches of rainfall, with pros ?ects of a continuance of wet weather, he roada were all washed out, and the maila had failed to put in an appearance for over a week* On the l'-itu of Feb ruary, the wind blew almost o gale on the east aide of tho valley, tearing up trees by tho roots and snapping them in twain like atrawa, leveling all tilings be fore it in its furioua career. On the 17th the atorm took the form of a cloudburst, which gave vent to ita furioua torrents on the mountains immediately cast of the valley, carrying devastation in ita coarse. The cloud first appeared like a gisautio bali oi data, muddy fluid rolling down the canon, where, confined within the narrow limits of the rocky walla on both sides ita fury became condensed, and the deluging torrents fell with redoubled force; and from tho point where it burst, for s mile and a half along the valley, it literally ground to dust all objects within its track ; not v. tree or a shrub ia tobe found where it pasted. Trees, rocks, immense bowlders, gravel and sand were washed from their foundation, carried by the enfrenta of the flood ana deposi ted upon the ferma below in the valley. - - At bedtime little Willlo wsa saying the uaual prayer at bia mother's knee, and, haring got as far as "if I should die be fore I wake," hesitated.

It bas beet, publicly outed that tho visit of Major General Hancock to New Orleans in February was mad? by tbe request of tb? President, and wss for the Surpose of interceding with Governor fichc'ls in behalf of Anderson. The following ic reference to this matter is obtained from a source believed to be possessed of th? facts: After the verdict of guilty in Anderson's cane it was au thoritatively given out from the White IIouKe that the President had determined to interfere, and es a preliminary bad written a le'ter to the Attorney General requesting bini to consult authorities and augce?l the proper method of action. The Attorney General, af>*v examina lion, discovered that the Fe ?'eral govern ment really could do nothing, and so informed the President. It was at this juncture, BO it is said, that a suggestion was made to the President that General Hancock would be a good man lo ?end to New Orleans to plead for Anderson, that he and Governor Nicholls were class mates at West Point sud were friends, and that the people of New Orleans were very fond of him and would listen to bis counsel. A messenger wns accordingly .tent to (leneral Hancock's headquarters in Net-/ York to sound bim un tue sub ject, lt is 'epreseritcd that General I Hancock was very averse to having any thing to do with tlie matter, and that be tinnily consented solely aa a matter of j 1 personal consideration for tho wishes of I the President, with whom he had at one time been associated in array service. lie went to New Orleans and remained there about two week*, during which time he was th?) recipient of tnc moat CrofuM? social ?Mention, although, probn ly out of deference to bia own wishes, very '?Ule public notice wu? taken of his [ire' me in the city. He had several cn'jthy interviews with Gov. Nicholls, j and it is sale finally obtained from bim ar. assurance that he would pardon An? darson if the Supreme Court of the State did not reverse thc actiou of thc lower j court. This information was promptly ' communicated tn the authorities here. His mission ended, Gen. Hancock re turned to Now York. It is proper to state that while the above is thought to bp substantially correct, it is not furn ished by either of the principals in the affair. It is alleged that since hin return Gen. Hancock is more convinced than before that hi? scruples against undertaking a political mission of such character were well founded, but holds that under the circumstance;) be could do no less than accede lo the request made of bim. It is undoubtedly an unprecedented act, oven in this era of making precedents, for the head of thc government at Wash ington to send a special envoy to treat with the authorities of a State in refer ! ence to the administration of criminal I justice in that State. If it is proper for the President to do i it ia one instance, why not in another? If he can with propriety send an agent into Louisiana to ask the Governor to panton Anderson, a convicted criminal, what is there to prevent his sending an agent to the Governor of New York nlth j a request to pardon Tweed, a convicted criminal ? Nothing whatever, except tho lack of pcrsoral interest. And if this cnn be done in the case of criminals, why not in other and all cases where tho Ex ecutive* is interested for himself or for his frionds and retainers ? It is possible that the whole matter of negotiations between Washington and Naw Orleans with ref ?r?>nce to the Anderson case may yet be I d om ed a proper subject for Congressional. ! inquiry. THE SMALLEST BOY.-Master Frank Flynn, of Norwich, N. Y., is probably the smallest specimen of a boy ever known. He is four and a half years old, and is thus described by a correspon dent : We went to see him expecting a Tom Thumb or Commodore Nutt to walk in beforfi us. Imagins m\r surprise svhtts bis grandmother brought him iu as one would a good sized cat. He is not so large aa one of Tom Thumb's legs. In Tom Thumb's carriage he would Took as lonesome es an ordinary man in a circus band-wagon. To sit upon one of Tom Thumb's easy chairs would be to him j r?hat it is tr. -;be ordinary boy to porch ' upon a gate-post wbon tbe spring comes. He is smaller than any one can conceive who has not actually seen him. He had on two pairs of stockings, and even then the smallest sized baby shoes were too large for him. His wrist is the size of an ordinary man's thumb, his ankle but a slight increase. He was dressed in a ; full suit liko a man. He stands twenty three inches in his ohoes, and weighs, clothes and all twelve pounds. That in tho most be ever weighed in his life. Still, he is a lively, sprightly boy, very 1 active, climbing into chairs and getting down ; walks around with his hands be hind him, "like his grandpa," and talks and laughs, a- \a aa cute as any'boy of his years. He is no larger than be was when one year old. A GREAT CuniosiTY.-Silr* r Springs, Florida, is one of tho greatest curiosities in tbe South. It bursts forth in the middt of the most fertile country iu the State. It bubbles up in a basin near 100 feet deep, and about an acre in ex tent, and sending from it a deep stream 60 to 100 feet wide, and extending six to eight miles to the Ocklawafaa uiver. In the spring itself sixty boats may lie at anchor-quite a licet. Tho spring thus forms a natural inland port, to which three steamers now run regular ly from the St. John's, making close connections with the ocean steamers at Palatka. The clearneaa o-Hhe water la truly wonderful. It seems even more transparent than air ; yon see the bot tom eighty feet below the bottom of your boat, tbe exact form of the smallest pebble, the outline and color of the leaf that hos sank, and all prismatic colora of the rainbow are reflected. Large fish swim in it, every scale visible, and every movement distinctly aeon. If you S? over the spring in a boat yon will soe e fissures in the rocks, from which the river rushes upward like an inverted cat aract. KcEriNQ UP APPEARANCE.-A m?m. ber of tbe sanitary police came across a boy the other day who was wheeling home a load of oyster cana and bottles, and curious to know what use the lad could put them to, he made a direct in quiry. ''Going to lb row them o*er into our back yard," replied the boy. "I took two loads home yesterday." "But what do you use 'em for?" "It's a trick of the family," grinned the lad. "How trick?" "Pd just as lief tell,'/ continued the bey, ss ira spit Oii bis hands to resume his hold of the barrow? "We're going to have some relasbuns como in from the country.
