M., of Georgia, has fed cotton j seed to pigs, with a small araouet of i corn meal-the cotton seed being cook- ? ed and the corn meal stirred in after ! the cotton seed had been boiling half an hoar, and after' boiling another half an hour it was allowed to stand for some hours before being fed. When fed three pounds of cotton seed and two pounds of corn meal each, the pigs gained very rapidly-a dozen pigs gain? ed an average of two pounds each per 4ay. He says cotton seed is not one half as valuable as corn as bog food, and yet when fed in this way with corn meal the gain was more than twice the weight of corn alone.-Chicago Times. Expected Help. Ata certain battle of the late war, a Federal Chaplain happened to get into the vicinity of a battery of artillery which was hotly engaged. The Con iederate shells were ploughing furrows j about the gens, and the cannoneers were grimly and --actively at-work to :answer ?hot for shot. The Chaplain addressed himself to a Sergeant, who j was very efficient, but at tue same time J .rather profane, in the following words : j .My, friend, if you go cn tlis way, j canyon expect the support of Diviue Providence V * Ain't expectin'it,' said the Sergeant. *The ?Ninth New Jersey has been -ordered to support this battery.' JSouthern Bivouac. Modei Composition. The teacher of a public school, not .a thousand miles from Columbia, takes great pride in the progress of her jpn- j pils in English *as she is wrote.7 Here ! -is a specimen of a paper presented j ?on a recent composition day : 'THE CODFISH. *A codfish is the only An ny mai that ?ain't got a neck, there aiu't but -one kind of fish in the World that lives on the land and Sys round in the air, and that is a fish hawk.

Run away, dear, I can't talk about it.* But Phil could not bear to go. His dear little sister Jessie had been sick for two or three weeks : not very sick, but she could not go out, and for the last day or two she had not cared to get up, and so they had sent for the doctor, .and now Phil felt that he must know what the doctor thought about dear lit? tle Jessie- So he hung about his mother, and asked again, till at last the poor woman said, a little crossly : 'Well, if you will know, he said she needs better food-good rich soup and milk and a bit of steak. And your father's drink? ing right straight along.' Poor Phil ? He was* fairly frightened to see his mother put down her iron and cry. As long, as 'mother' was bright Phil kept up his spirits ; bat when she cried he felt as if things were hopeless. He pat his arm over her shoulder and said ; 'There, there, mo? ther, don't cry ;' but Mrs. Gray shook j [ bim off, saying : 'Go in to Jessie and let me have a cry : it'll do me good.' So Phil left her. He sat on Jessie's bed and told her a story, and then the little girl wanted t? bear again how 'teacher' had missed her at Sunday school, and just ! what she said. 'She said, 'Tell Jessie ? I'll do my best to get to see ber, but I t shall be very busy next, week.' 'I wonder what she's busy about ? She don't take in washing like mother.' Phil laughed. 'You bet she don't! I heard her telita' one of the teachers as how she was goin' to make jelly.' 'What's that, Phil?' *I don't know-somethin' good, ? reckon. Halloo! I've just thought o' somethiu'! You just lie still a bit, and I'll be back, and most likely i'll bring you somethin' prime for your sup? per.' The little girl put up her face for a kiss and then Phil was off. He went to, the back-yard, where be kept two guinea pigs-his especial pride, and theenvy of all his boy-friends. It had suddenly occurred to him to sell his pets for. his sister. Tom Rooney bad made a standing offer of fifty cents for the pair, but Phil felt sure he could get more than that from richer boys, so he shouldered his box and started for the better part of the town. TTithout knowing it, he took his stand right on the block where Mrs. Hall, Jessie's teacher, lived. Mrs. Hall was bis teacher, too, in a way, for he. always weot to the morning session and sat by Jessie's side, though in the afternoon he was 'put in the big room.' He had not stood tkzre five minutes .before a number of boy? were crowding round, eager to see his guinea-piss, and longing to buy, though none O'S t!iem had the cash. 'Why, if it isn't Phil Gray !' exclaim? ed Rob Hall, a boy of thirteen. JEle was his mother's sjejetarypand "knew the boy at oncs-r"" 'Come ri?ht in and show mother your guinea pigs. I'll ask her to bay them for us.' And off march? ed the two boys; followed at a respectful distance by the others. Mrs. Hali was soon found, but would not listen to Rob's petition for the guinea-pigs until she ?ad sent for a plate of bread and butter and some ap? ples, and beard all about Jessie. 'What does the doctor say V she ask? ed, just as Phil had asked, and now.the boy understood-how hard ir was for his mother to answer. He looked at Mrs. Hall's two boys, colored, and said noth? ing; but the lady suspected why he could not answer, so, much against their wills, she sent the boys oat, telling them to come back in fifteen minutes. Then, by lovtng questions, she found out all I have toid you. 'And you will sell your guinea-pigs for dear little Jessie? Well, she is worth it. I tell you what i'll do. Til buy the ,two pets for a month or two, and then,- if times are better, you can' bay them back. But as you want to buy meat and milk for Jessie, suppose I keep the money and buy a little meat each day for her?' Phil was only too willing, and soon t&ere were three happy boys-Rob and Dick with their guinea-pigs, and Phil with a great basket of good things for Jessie. That aighfc John Gray earne home sober, for a wonder, and he sat by Jessie's side as she ate the nice beef? steak and white bread and butter. 'Phil sold his guinea-pigs to bay it for me,' said the little girl. 'An't he good papa V The father said nothing, but his head sank down on his breast, and his cheeks were red with shame. By and by he j stood up and said : 'Wife, it's Thursday night an't it ?' 'Yes,' said bis wife. 'The night they have ?he temperance meetin' Phil's been talkin' about so. Well, I'm goiu' to it-, and Til sign a j pledge that not a drop of beer or liquor i shall pass my lips again. To think I that my hoy had to sell his pets to feed our baby I Wife, I wonder you don't turn me out o' doors !' 'indeed, I never would do that, John ; but we'll be a hoppy set now, and Jessie'll soon be well. The doc? tor said that all she needed was strong, nourishing food.' 'And my strong drink stole thc food from her. But, by God's help, I ?rink no more of it.' You may be sure Phi! brought back his guinea-pigs after a month or two, but he has left the two baby-guinea-pigs at Mrs. KalTs. Jessie is back at schcol, and not only Phil corns? with lier, but j father come- and sits at the back and ! listens to the songs, as happy as any of ! the children. The Wicked Boston Boy. j A little boy asked his father, a few ! days ago, if it was wicked to say Rot? terdam. 'Why, no, my son,' replied the fond parent.

Few naines are more familiar to the peo pie of Western Pennsylvania, especially in the o? regions, than that of Hon. Thomas Struthers.

T THOMAS STRUTHERS. to the bar m Jan? uary, 1827, and hi December, 1828, settled in Warren, Warren county, Pa., where he has since resided. In 1836 he went as a del? egate to the convention at Williamsport which projected the Sunbury and Erie rail? road, now known as the Philadelphia and Erie railroad, and to him was intrusted the difficult task of getting the act through the legislature,which he succeeded in accomplish? ing in April, 1837. The road was completed in 1862. Mr. Struthers, in connection with Gen. Wilson, built the first railroad in Cali? fornia, from Sacramento to Folsome. He was a leader in the enterprise of introducing street cars into Cincinnati, and was also in? terested in the scheme of making the Des Moines river, in Iowa, navigable for steam? boats. Before the task was finished the legis? lature repudiated the land grants promised to the projectors of the enterprise, and the work was abandoned. In 1662, when the% oil excitement was raging at Titusville, he conceived the idea of constructing a rail? road from the Philadelphia and Erie, at Corry, to Titusville, a distance of twenty eight miles. It proved a great success. In i 1866 Mr. Struthers sold his interest in the ? road for a large sum, and spent a year ? traveling with his family in Europe. Egypt ! and the Holy Land. He was associated with j Dean Richmond in originating and bu?ding j the Cross Cut railroad, now a part cf the Bal- i timore, New York and Philadelphia railroad, I which connects the Philadelphia and Erie road at Corry with the Lake Shore road at ; 1 Brockton. He also aided the New York and Erie road in getting the right of way through certain parts of Pennsylvania. Mi\.Struth? ers founded the Corry National bank, of which he was for many years the president. In 1S63 he bought the farm on which he was born, erected thereon the largest blast fur? nace in the state of Ohio, and founded the flemishing town of Struthers. Ir? 1867 he bought a controlling interest in the machino shops at Warren, now known as the Struth? ers, Wells & Co. iron works. This estab? lishment is the most extensive and celebrated manufactory of drilling tools and ofl. well en? gines in the country. Mr. Struthers was a member of the Pennsylvania legislature in , 1857-58, and in 1873 was a delegate to the convention which drafted a new constitution for the state. His last great public act of benevolence was to present the town where he resides with a magnificent building, which he erected at a cost of $80,000, to be used as a public library and reading room. He has always been extensively interested in real es? tate and has done as much as any man in the state to develop the lumber and oil interests, the coal and iron mines and other industries of thc Allegheny valley. Being now too far advanced in years, to take an active part in public affairs, he has settled down to tho peacefulness of a 'serene old age. He, how? ever, cakes a lively interest in state and national politics, and his advice is never sought in vain on any matter of local import? anea. _' - ? - ^?a~?o Let the Public Know* .^-^js^custornary with the vaqueros, on ar? riving in.

Francisque Sarcex relates the follow? ing story, which he had from the lips of M. Ferdinand de Lesseps: A number of di? plomatists of different nationalities were assembled in a London drawing room in the year 1872. A Russiau politician of high rar.k having made some remarks to a German personage respecting the five milliards which France had been compelled to pay,-the latter, instead of replying, turned to an English diplomatist who was present and said with a laugh, "It is you who will rest-ore them to France.'' "How?" exclaimed the Englishman; "what do you mean?" "I mean what I say. You will pay the money within fifty years." The Englishman looked up for some explana? tion and the German diplomatist asked, "How many English ships pass every year through tiie "Suez canal?" "And the German* adds M. Sarcey, "spoke the truth; for since that date the French share ' holders have already received more than a milliard. SO per cent, of which has come ont of English pockets."-Boston Tran? script.
