Young animals at tliis season are very susceptible to cold and dampness, and any check through failure to supply a sufHciency cf food at regular periods, or exposure to wet and cold, may produce injurious resnlts. Young colts at this season should be allowed to remain with their dams as Ion; as they will suckle, as but little work is required of the breeding-mares daring the winter, and if the mares give lanre rjuantities of milk the colts will grow rapidly. AVhere the young stock is dependent upuu the dams the food must be of a kind tlwtt produce milk rich in all the elements necessary for structural growth. Ground oats twice a day, with a plentiful supply of hay. will ätl'ord an abundant amount of nourishment in the shape of milk, and on cold days an allowance of com meal may be given with advan tap-e. Young calves are often deprived of the ini!k that naturally should go to them, owing to its value for market, substitutes being given with the skim milk usually auowed. i mess judgment is exercised in feeding the calves scours will result, from the effects of which the calves do not recoTer until thev have been seriouslv in jured ingrowth. Young pigs that have been sud denly weaned, and ejecially if taken from tbe cows too soon, are often "stunted" in euch manner as to debar them from beconi ing large, heavy hoi at any time. It is imlPortant to be careful in winter, for tue reason that when tbe young stock is weakeued through mistakes in feeding the cold weather cften comes upon them at a time when they are phyaicallv unable to endure it. It is best not to wean tbe young stock too soon, but, Ii it becomes neceary to do so. the feeding should be done often, and. if possible, tbe fool should be warm. The younger an animal tbe more rapid its growth nd the more frequent its times of feeding; hence, when they are allowed only three meals a dav, the same as the adults, they do not thrive as well as they do when fed ftner and in smaller quantities. Dieting the animals ia necessary in winter, in order to avoid costiveness of the bowels, as well as indigestion, and therefore tbe adults and young stock should receive succulent food. such as ensilage or roots, but in the case of the young stock roots without ensilage may be feed cooked if the are old enough to eat well. The dieting of young stock by feeding a variety of food ai they are rradually weaned will save them much sickness, as they are easily affected by sudden changes. Imring the winter months much time may be saved bv keening the young stock in good condition, as they will start of!" in the spring with an advantage which will more than compensate for whatever extra care may be given. As the winter is not over when the early Iambs are dropped, a pla-e v 1.1 i V . , must oe proviueu in aavance or tne ewes. 7o have the lambs dropped in the fields. with the temperature below freezing, is very evere on them, and those that do not perish seldom recover entirely. (live the lambs a warm dry place the first few days of their existence and one-hall the trouble with them will be over. Young jigs are very tender, and if farrowed in midwinter sel dom prove satisfactory afterward unless an attendant gives them close attention for the tirst week, as they easily become so chilled as to be unable to derive nourishment, and as there are usually a few strong pigs in every litter the weaker ones are crowded back, becoming subject to the severity of the cold on account of an insufficient suiply of nourihment, and as all young ani-, maisare subject to competition when together they should never De crowded at any time. f eeding Corn to Horses. 3N'atioual Live Stock Journal. I'orn is the bane of the farm horne, as it is also of the horse doing any other sort of work, not because of not being sumcientiy nutritious, hut because it makes too much fat and not enongU, muscle. The horse's muscle wears away under exercise, but its disappearence Jn nowie lessens the power for either draft or speed. Un the other hand, well-nourished and vigorously exercised muscles, with a deposit of fat to keep them company, are much more efficent for any purpose for which the horv is kept than when there is a load of fat to be carried. The trainer acts upon the projosition, and works the fat off. experience having shown that the muscles, trained down by exercise until fat accumulations are removed fattening foods wing mainly abstained from give the best results in a case of a speedy hor-e. The Fame rule will hold good with the work horse, though modified by the degree to which the moements of the latter are slower than those of the former. If the farmer has only corn for feed, then he will be wise to rcake sale of his corn, or the greater part of it, buying oatmeal instead. If corn le used in whole or in part the effect should be carefully toted as to the extent to which fermentation sets in, meeting this by ue of salt and asl.es, at one? Iserjc the amount of corn

Coro may rated as the natural food for fattening stock such as are fed for their Mesh. All kinds cf fattening stock are made ripe on com, with the addition of an allowance of coarse feed for fodder. Kipeness In a horse is a very different thing from ripenesB in the fatted Eteer, for in oue case it means .fu'l riaor of muscle with an absence of fat and is. the other an abundance of fat, do natter how muco, and as to tbe muscle, no taatter how inefficient the work. j 'biecasKing I'rar Culture. Jit a recent meermgoi farmers living near Jlostoh the subject for discussion was "The Culture, .Preservation, and Marketing of the -trs. "U. r. Hapwen, of .Newton, spoke of the importance of knowing just when to gather and market pears. Very little damage is done to the fruit bay any particular species of insect, lhe pear tree blight has been more prevalent this year than for many seasons, but Uisa trouble the cause of which is very little known; its preva lence this season may possioiy be traced to the two or three very warm days in May, which dried the sap and obstructed the lores. The tree is very long-lived, having Leen introduced into this country over 200 years ago. Colonel John h. IIusxll, Secre tary cf the fctate Hoard ot Agriculture, said he did not believe pear-raising to be a part of the business of the farmer, for he would always lose at it: it belongs to the horticulturist and the gardener. h.. AVood, of Newton, disagreed w it!) the idcaof Colonel Hussen that farmers do not tind pears a profitable crop. It grows and bears miickly, the marketable varieties at leiu-t. and is annual, although for that reason it requires more care. The mistake made by the farmers is in trying to grjw too many varieties in the effort to introduce new kinds, To grow for profit to sell in tbe l!ston mar ket the- mi ru ber could well be reduced to six, and can not well be raised above that figure: oik:ourse,when!they are merely grown for family use by- amateurs, so to speak.anv number of varieties may be and are set out, so to March, bor market the Uartlett is one of :he best, because it ripens early, and is a constant and regular bearer. Hinter pears require much outlav and detail in their marketing, and are not worth the trouble to care for them Those who go into the pear culture fre quently make an error in the trees that they set out. selecting about hall standard and half dwarf; in a few years tbe dwarfs disap pear entirely, and the nurseryman is blamed tor furnishing bad trees, whereas the rault lies with the trrower in sut;ng his trees to the nature of the land. Hon. J. F. C. Jlyde, of Newton, agreed with the last speaker in the cultivation of only a small number of varieties for market and the desirabibilitv of a wide range of flavors for home use. He was inclined to thiek that, as a rule, farmers bad better not go into the culture of pears for proht. He found that the fruit grows better near cities, and particularly near the sea coast Itee Notes. f J. M. Hicks, Battle Ground, Ind. If your bees have not already ben at tended to vou shonld proceed at once to iced the stocks that have an insufficient amount t stores. Sirup made from good granu lated sugar, and led at night m the top of your hives, in glavj tumblers, is best. If you will tie a cotton Ioth over the top, and in vert the glass tilled with tbe sirup, so the bees can take it through the cloth, they will soon empty and store it in their combs, when you can again rehll, and thus aid your bees -i - - - i ji . 1 T to go inrougu tne approacning winter. hen bees have been properly placed in their winter quarters the less vou disturb tnem the better. He think a good, dry ccnar vy lar me nei ior wintering in; or a good cave, made in a hillside, is good, if dry. 1 he temperature should be kept at 4 . if possible, and no noise should be peimitted in or about your bees, which is too frequently tne cause of death during their long conlmement, causing them to till themselves un necessarily. All weak stocks should be doubled up, that is, put two weak stocks into one hive, first killing the ioorest queen. L-ees m many localities have failed to gath er a sufficiency of honey to winter on. All such should be fed. as suggested in first bee note. Yte think it will pay as well if not better to feed bees than almost anv other stock on the farm. Uees have been known to pay 1,0"0 per cent, air l at tbe same time they board themselves a thing no other stock on the fanm can possibly do. lhore are now aoout .joo.hoo bee-keeixTs in the United States. Many of them are pro curing several tons of honey annually from their icf s. yielding a hanusome income on the capital invested, and yet we are sure there are many millions pounds of honey go ing to wa-te for want of bees to gather it. AVby not keep a few stands of bees and save your own sweets. How Vegetables are Wintered. Jl'rairie Fanuer.J Only a few vegetables can be wintered out doors in the North without protection. Parsnips are among the exceptional vegetables which the winter does not destroy, and, ex cept for use while the ground is frozen, may he left in the soil, falsify, or vegetable oys ters, is of similar nature, but beets, turnips or carrots will not stand excessive cold; to retain the fresh, cnp flavor, they should be taken up as late as possible and placed in a cool cellar or in pits, with earth and straw enough over them to prevent freezing. the latter is tiie method most in vogue with market gardeners, who usually knowbest how to present their vegetables in the finest condition. Artificial heat in any form spoils the flavor of vegetables generally. The sweet potato is an excep tion, and win not rot in a temperature be low ,0, while dryness does not injure it. Cabbages may be pulled up roots and all. turned upside down and the heads packed together in beds six feet in width, and the ground between the rows thrown over the heads. In extremely frostv weather thev can not be reached, and enough must be left in the cold root cellar for winter use. Onions require a dry barn or loft, and should not be packed more than eight or ten inches deep, with a foot of straw over them to keep out frost. In the extreme North some tire protection may be neces sary. For family use a string can be kept hung in any part oi tbe ceiier. unions will stand 'Jo of frost without iniury, if dry. Celery is best when taken from the open ground, but should be taken np and placed close together in beds, with eartli and litter over all to keep from freezing. Winter squashes require a dry place, free from frost. Warm shelter ia Cheaper than I'eed. of the various ways through which it is M)ssible. for the average dairyman to enhance Iiis proft the most efiectual is first to rediu e the eot of producing his milk. This he can Go in a variety or ways, line way of doing so lies in the improvement of his milking stock. This is a certain but slow way, and must be the work of a few years. And thMi another way, more rapid, and that can at once be made available, consists in reducing the cost of keeping his cows. This, again, he may do in different ways, first ov securink greater warmth and more comfort for his cows in winter. The heaviest item of expense which he incurs consists in winter ing his cows, and tiie more they are exposed to the cold the heavier that item becomes. Cows eat more in winter than at any other time, simply because more meat isabs)rt)ed from their body by the cold air. J-or in stance, we all know that hot- water will cool faster on a cold dav than on a warm one. Therefore the animal heat must be kept up to a uniform standard, and the ex tra loss of warmth must be restored, by fuel in the form of feed; and this increases the cost of keeping and the cost of producing the fall and winter supply of milk. Keep the cows warm and they will require less ex tra food for winter, just in proportion as thev are made warm and comfortable; and

by just 0 much wiü they tuxa out hiU at

a reduced exens. There is rrof.t in keep

ing cows warm in winter. im nutcu Ies to tone down the cold of this Northwestern climate by providing warm, comfortable buildings for the cows. If the owner has not secured them already, trie sooner be gets them the better, and not be furnishing extra food year after year to restore the heat needlessly lost by the expoThat Water I'aod by Autiuala'. root drinking water has killed much live stock, and the following from the Kansas Farmer is pertinent: "When we consider the quality of the drink supplied to hogs we have yet greater cause to wondar that the amount of disease is not greater. Horses, cattle a:id sheep are given comparatively clean water to because they will not drink filthy water unless forced to do so, and be cause the opinion justly obtains that foul water is to them destructive or health ; but hogs are given, er rather circumstances are allowed to supply them with foul water, because inherited tendencies and education are tuch that tbev will drink foul water, and because the opinion unjustly obtains that they are not so injuriously affected by foulness of drink as are other animals. Hut we certainly ought to know, and certainly we are fast learning, that foul drink is just as productive of a diseased condition of the body when drank by a hog as when drank by a horse; and as we learn more or the nature and cause of swine plague we understand that so far as the health of the animal is concerned, we would better give foul water to the sheep, cow or horse than to the hog, for four water prolongs the life and favors the vigor of the bacillus, and when drank introduces the germs of this most virulent of all swine diseases directly into the bodilv or gans. If we would safely preserve the health oi ourswine, we will not force them to drink water trom pools, ditches and creeks, but will supply them with water from a well protected from impurities." Kent l'oktu. An experimental writer on this subject very rationally remarks: "To have a fence that will last, we must have good posts, for that is the part that gives out first by rotting off at the surface of the soil. Then the fenca has to come down, new posts set and the boards replaced. Sixteen years ego I experimented with mv fences, and lined seasoned oak posts, oiled and then tarred with boiling coal tar, makes them last the longest. 1 took green josts that were sawed . inches square at one end and '2x0 inches at the other, and s leet long. I tarred half as many as would build my fence, ami the other half I put in the ground green, with nothing done to them. In five years after the tarred osts were nothing but a shell under the ground all the inside being decayed. Some of the other posts were rutted ofl. and some were about half rotten. Two years after, 1 built another fence, with seasoned oak pots. same size as the lirst. giving them all a good coat oi oil. and in a few dttys atter tarred them, as I did be fore, with coal tar. heated m a can made tor the purHise, four feet deep and large enough to hold four iosts set on end. I left them in boiling tar for about ten minutes, then took them out and sanded them. And now, after fourteen year", not one in ten needs replacing. 1 shall never build a fence for myself requiring posts without lirst thoroughly seasoning, then oiling, then tarring them. If they are tarred when green, the tar Hoes not j netrate the wood, and in a short time will scale off. When the wood is seasoned the oil lxnetrates the wood and the coating of coal tar keeps out the moisture, thereby firescrvnijjiiie wood irom decay. :lioio Plants for the Window. While th more common plants, as gemtiiuins. ftichia, callas and th like, always nie in for a gol representation of tiie plants for window culture, thoe who want something out of the common will look around for such as will do the bet, and that will give a distinctive character to their di p'ay. A single plant of the palm family is very desirable, and will give dignity to the group. I fie same is true of a well-grown plant of some of tne showy-foliaged be? bins, and the Mowers of a few kinds of this interesting class are ccond to none grown lor decorative eilect. It. argentea has silvery leaves; H. sanguines red beneath; K. metalica has large leaves of a glossy appearance, blotched with crimson and olive. Then there are t he beautiful tolors of the old 11. Ilex type. f flowering kinds, so-called (all begonias Mower in their season), U. hybrida, Saundersii and AVeltoniensis, and their hybrids, are excellent, and the tuberousrooted kinds have many showy-flowered va rieties. Dahlia. The autumn has been exactly the one for developing the llahlia to perfection, and we uo not remember ever to have seen a finer flowering than the present season. This will be likely to give a stimulus to this Hue au tumn blooming plant. lo Preserve it through the winter, cut off the top, leaving about six inches of the old stem, then dig up without mutilating any of the tubers. leaving outside to drv ofl' tiie earth, and then pack away in any place where there is no danger of freezing. A florist usually se lects a spot under a cool greenhouse stage. but a cedar will do, if It does not freeze and is not too cool and damp. If in a cellar having a furnace, they ought to be imbedded in iry sand, or they will become drv and shrivel up. Roses. (Prairie hmner.) Near where we write is an old German tailor, whose wife makes quite a sum off their garden patch uf perhaps l.Vj square feet of land. When they arrived in this country, three years asro, they brought a lot of tender roses budded on the dog-rose, as is usual in hurope. lhee are about four feet high, livery winter they bmd over the stems, which are yet quite pliable, and bury slightly with soil and leaves, making a ridge. So far, even with sorts whieh are generally called tender, they winter them perfectly. and have roses in bloom through the summer, the lirst being very brilliant and beau tilul. Protecting Koaes in Whiter. In the northern regions lay down the roe bushes and cover with evergreen boughs; in places where the common brake can be had it is well to collect it. as it makes an excellent protective covering. Old leaves, of course, can be used for the same purpose. and there is nothing better; the difficulty is to get enough of them. First tn-nd down tbe ro-e shoots and fasten the topr to tke ground with a peg, ther draw soil about the base as high as iossii)le, ami afterwards cover it wiih whatever material is to be o't lined. keeping it in place by tolesof u!ti -ient weight to prevent displacement by the wind. FARM NOTES. Shearing lambs in midsummer is cla:meJ by F.nglMi farmers to greatly increase the growth of the carcass. The juice of the Hartlett pear is used in some uiseases in California both for food and drink. The invalid first loses flesh upon it, and then gams strength. Open all the drains along the road before the fall rainsbegin, in order to allow the surplus to flow ofl', and thus avoid some of the uitticulties with bad roads in the winter The New Hampshire Mirror sys that farmer may prepare a field of winter grain ever so carefully, and yet have all his labor come to naught if be h'as not provided acainst the freezing out of his grain by defective drainage. A pickle famine is threatened this winter. The present supply at the East is set down at soxki,imi, one-half only of what la needed for the Eastern trade. Tbe Western crops have suffered, and heavy advances in prices are looked for. An Ohio farmer is a strong advocate of the idea that apples grown on certain soils keep better than on others. Ife says willow twigs grown on red day do cot keep well, but Lis

trees on yellow clay bear fruit which keeps till after "harvest. Professor Sanborn does not think the plant known as prickly comfrey deserves .thei praise so lavishly bestowed upon it 1 some quarters. It doea not produce as! heavily as has been claimed for it, and it is with difliculty stock can be induced to eat of iL . Thousands of tons of cheese-are made in France from the milk of sheep, while rujilk from the goats is used for tbe same purpbse in Germany. Jn European markets such cheese bring the highest prices, and the der mand is always equal 19 the supply. Mangolds and Swedes frequently contaiu f0 per cent, water, while, the average sugar beets show so per cent. Hence the reason that a crop of beets sereral tons less per acre than a crop of mangolds ' will actually contain more nutritive matter. Sugar lleet. An abundant growth to tiie wheat crop in autumn is not demised, as all that is required is root formation sufficient to give it a good stand in order to make an early start in spring. The heavier the growth now the more subject the crop to the drawbacks of winter. Salt is often largely used in the food of

pigeons, and should also be given fowls, especially during the molting season. The proper" way to feed it is to add it to the soft food in quantity sufticitnt to season the food to suit the tate, but should never be used in excess. . The annual report of the North Carolina Experiment Station for ls3 contains a showing that "as regards the consumption of the different classes of fertilizers, the ainmoniated superphosphates, with iotashor artiricjal guanos, still preponderate largely aver all other kinds." One of the Wst preventives against lice in the nest" of sitting hens is tobacco refuse, such as the sweepings of cigar factories. Hy the use of such, with coal oil on the roots and the frequent dusting of all jwirts of the oiiitry house with insect towder, there need be no fear of lice. l'ekin ducks are rapid growers, and duckings hatched the middle of Septemler will. if given shelter and good food, weigh from ten to twelve injunds a pair by Chrietmas. Thoso kept over will lay in March; but eggs ror hatching purposes should not be used from birds less than one year old. Uarnyard manure should not be used on soils in the year of planting when raising beets for sugar manufacture, says the Sugar heet. Ihe decomposition of tins orgauic substance is slow, and its beneficial effects occur in the very part of the season when the roots do not require a stimulant. An experienced gardener say that a sure sign to lind out if plants in pots require wetting is to rap on tiie side of the iots near tbe middle, with tbe linger knuckle; if it gives forth a hollow ring, the plant needs water; but if there is a dull sound there there is still moisture enough to sustain the plant. A correspondent of the Farm and Garden savs: ".My graies were rotting hadlv. Atone time I thought I should lose half of them. I showered them with a preparation made of cnrlolic acid one-fourth ounce, and water twelve quarts. This was very effective and stopped the rotting at once." A. S. Fnlier, of New York, savs it is evi dent that the influence of the pollen in strawberries extends not only to the seed and r!ehy receptacle, or fruit, but to the stalks and entire plant. Ihe influence of iHjllen is so great in many instances as to change the sie, form, color, and even the Msvor of the fruit. 1'ahlia roots in small quantities can be afely wintered when placed in a singlelayer and closely together, in a shallow box. Put sifted ashes orsand over and around them, covering the crowns but not the stems. Thus tnu ted and placed in a frost-proof cellar, they will keep lreh ami plump until spring. lIOlM.HOLl HINTS.

It is said "there, js so elementary substance,' tot even excepting bread, that does not produce -Indigestion under ' certain circumstances, but oysters, never." Oyster juice 1romotes digestion. By taking oysters daily ndigestion, supposed ; to be almost incurable, has been cured ; in fact, they are to be regarded as one of the most healthful articles of food known to man. - Invalids who have found all other kinds cf food disagree with them frequently discover in the oyster tbe required aliment. Kaw oysters are highly u commended for hoarseness. Many of tbe leading vocalists use them regularly before concerts and operas; but their strongest recommendation is the remarkable wholesome influence exerted iim the digestive organs. Lemon Jelly Custard. A most delicious and delicate desert is made in this wise: Iut one box or two ounces of gelatine to soak in a little cold water for an hour. Then put

three pints of cold water in a saucepau on the ßre, with the thinlv-pared yellow rind of three large or four small lemons and the clear juice of the same, also one coffee-cup of sugar. Y ben brought to a boil remove the rind and add the gelatine. Stir till dissolved ; simmer for five minutes and pour into an earthen dish to cool. Then make a boiled custard of one quart of milk, one coffee-cup of sugar, a little salt and vanilla flavoring, and tbe yelks only of live eggs. Set this away to cool also. When ready to serve cat up the jelly, winch should be quite stiff, into small squares, or dice, pat into your desert dish and pour the boiled custard over it. The colder it is without being irozen the better. The top may be frosted with the whites if desired. The jelly alone, made more acid by using less sugar, is very agreeable and appetizing to invalids easily digested by very weak stomachs. Scrapple. New Yorkers can nrocure the uenuine Philadelphia scrapple by sending to some personal friend and having it expressed from there. That is about the only reliable way to get it, for most of the scrapple sold in New York is made in or near the city, and will not stand a comparison with the genuine article, cut 111 slices about one quarter of an inch thick, dredge the slices with line meal, and fry crisp in a liberal quantity of smoking fat. Some ireferit fried plain in very little fat, and irowned nicely on both sides. Scrapple is made thus: Seiect a young pigs head, slit the ears and clean them, and the mouth thoroughly, remove the eyes, cut out the tongue, scald and skin it. Put the head into three gallons of cold water and boil slowly until the flesh is easily removed from the bones. Kemove the scum ; take out the head and reduce the meat to a mince, return it to the liquid and season moderately with salt and peppr; mix together a teaspoonful of towderetl sage, sweet marjoram and thyme, and add to the meat. Mix together a quart each of Indian meal and buckwheat flour, and add it slowly to the liquid, stirring as in tbe making of ordinary mush. Should the tre be too hot remove the ot to the back of the range, where it will boil very moderately for half au hour. Stir until reaily to pour iiito greased pans, where it is to remain until solid. Should the water have evaporated too much, all of the meal may not tie required ; and, on the contrary, you" may require more meal if it has not evaj'oratcd Mifnciently. The Cook. LEE AND M'CLELLAN. Ad Old Sohlier's Keminiseeitce Tii-liln the Karfy History of the Kebellion. special to tin; tdobe lemecrat. Wash iM.Tox, Nov. 9. An old army o!li-":er, giving his reminiscences in the Sumlav Herald, says: "After Colonel Kobert E. Lee declined the command of the army that was being raised lo put down the Confederacy, General Scott was extremely anxious about its commander. He felt that he was too old to take the field himself, and that some one should be placed in command who would be able to mobilize the newly raised forces of volunteers at once, and tit them for service. General Scott was much grieved at Colonel I.ee's declination. Indeed, it must have bten a great temptation. Lee was in his prime, and was regarded by all who Lnew Ii i nt as the ablest otlicer of his age in tbe service. After much consideration and consultation, General Scott asked the venerable F. 1. Ulair, Sr., to vi-it 'olonel Lee and say to him that as be (General Scott ) was too od and feeble to take the liel J in person, if Lee would accept the iKjsition. he would recommend . that he be niH'le a general otlicer and given the high est position okmi in the I 111 ted States Army. At one step, therefore, he could have attained the summit of a soldier's ambition. Well did John Daniel say that since Christ stood uion the moun tain no human being had ever 'undergone a more trying ordeal or met it with higher spirit of heroic sacrifice than d'd Kobert Lee.' If he succeeded a eor.iUaror's croxn awaited him, and, win or lose, be would have leen tbe foremost man of a mighty Nation. "Did Xit. Lincoln know of General Scott's offer?" was asked. "He must have known and approved it." was the reply, "for General Scott would never have made it without the consent of the highest authority. Very early it must have een a day or two alter the proclama tion calling out 7.VKJ0 men a delegation of prominent Ohioans called 011 the iovernor ot that state in oenait 01 uenerai aici. ieiiau. The First Regiment of Ohio Volunteers had just been accepted, and it was necessary to commission some general offi cers. These gentlemen were large stock owners in ;he line of railway from Cincin nati to St. I-ouis, of which McClellan was President. 1 hey told tbeoveruor 1 think it was Dennison, but I am not sure about the ex-captain of cavalry, of his capacity and ability in organization. 'He is just tbe man you need,' they said, as they concluded, and so effective was their presentation of his case that they took back to Cincinnati George li. Met Itllan s commission as a Ma ior t.en eral of Ohio troops. General Scott had lost sight of McClellan after he had left the armv, but Ills success in H est Virginia re called to the venerable General-in-Chief his former engineer aid-de-camp. "One hot July afternoon I do not know the date, but I remember the incidents per fectly General Scott went over to see the President. He seemed very pale and feeble as he leit his oflice. 'Mr. President, he saiu 'If the army which we are gathering here is to do anything, it must have a nhm at its head capable of quick, effective organ ization. 1 have gone over me army list wry thoroughly, and while ther'.i are manv able men left, there is no -one of whom I can recommend lor the place. I have thought anxiously over the matter, aird I recommend that General Me Clellan be ordered here to undertake this work.' After consultation with the Secre tarv of War, Mr. Cameron, who knew 110th ing of military matters, but wished to do what was best, the President wrote a dis patch directing the young Ohioan, who was then a Major General, to come to- Washing ton at once.

Boston-,-Nov. 11. Another sensational mit was begun in the Divorce Court to-day. Feopie moving in the wealthiest circles of Foston' society are implicated. The libellant is 3drs. Ellen G.J. Loud, a strikingly handsome young woman of twenty, who was married when she was but sixteen to Thomas J. Loud, of the well-known firm of 1jou& Brothers, the State street biuker3. The testimon)' of the case is most remarkable. Mrs. Loud, a finely-formed brunette, with flashing black eye3 was the first witness called. She testihed : "I was married to Mr. Loud on May 2, ISM, at St. John's Episcopal Church, in East Boston. I had only known him three months. My maiden name was Mack. We went on a wedding trip of ten days, and spent the first night of our wedded life at the Windsor Hotel, New York. Iu the morning Mr. Loud made a request of me which I was unwilling to grant. He grew fearfully angry, kicked me out of bed upon the floor, and then picked me up and threw me across the room, saying I ought not to mind if he curbed a oman's passiou. On our return to Boston we gave three recetions at the Kevere House, un the night of the first reception, after the guests had retired and w e had gone to our apartments. Mr. Loud said I had committed a breach of etiquette in shaking hands with a gentleman. He became very an gry, grased nie by the throat, threw me across a cot-bed and choked me. 1 screamed, and my sister, Mrs. Duzenberry, came in and pulled him away. He then struck me a severe blow on the right breast, and I was unconscious for two hours. When 1 came to 1 was in my night dress in bed. I sullered greatly from the blow for several weeks. 1 consulted a physician, but did not tell of the cause of my suffering. One of the results of the blow was the formation of an abscess under my arm, which the doctor lanced. I have never recovered from the blow, and jeriodically suffer greatly even now. The second reception was on June 24. My husband struck me a severe blow in the abdomen just before it, and I fainted dead away. Alter the first reception, Mr. Loud struck me on the nose so hard that it made the blood flow aff over mv lice. My father was present and interfered. Then Mr. hmd fell down in a lit. In July I was very s-ick, and Dr. Goodsell made me four visits. There was no change in Mr. laud's treatment. A H.üH IN THE STOMACH. "The night of the third reception his treatment left marks on my limbs. I showed them to my sister. He forbade my going to see my father, and would not allow nie to go when he was ill. Mr. Loud pinched my arms, making them black and blue, almost every day. llecause 1 did not want to wear a low-necked dress to the Tiger's ball, Mr. Loud struck me a violent blow in the stomach. My sister-in-law was present and saw the blow. One evening at the Kevere House young Mr. Goodsell called on my sister. Mr. Loud opened some champagne and asked me to drink. I refused, ami fie threw tiie wine in my fare. When I was siok I was locked in my room all day without anything to eat. He attempted atone time to empty a bottle cf vitrol on my fa-e. I screamed, and my sister came in ami took it away befoiehe could pet the cork out. He threatened me with a pistol. He struck me on the read before mother. We moved from the Kevere House to the St. James Hotel. One night about the 1st of June my husband asked me to do something, which I refused to do. He then shut me up in the bath room. 1 was in my night dress. He left me there all night, and I slept in the bath tub. A few days after he again locked me in the bath-room, and the same thing was continued the next night. That was on Saturday and Sunday nights. I was in my night clothes, and it was so cold I shivered all night long in the bath-tub The reason he gave my sister for locking me up was because I had disobeyed him, and he said that he should continue to punish me until J did as be wished. I got 011 my knees and begged and said I would die before I would comply. n the Monday lollowmg I went to his ollice and asked him ?f he really insisted 011 his propositions. iHe said he did. and would give iuc a worse punishment than lie had given me when 1 came home. I had taken his keys to get my clothes. I told him never could go back tö bim. I cried and .fell on my knees, begging him not to cornel me. HIS Mf'TIIKR APVISKP THE HRI TAI.ITY. "His mother then came in. She and I were not on very good terms. She asked what was the matter. I told her, and she said to my husband, 'Why don't you strike her?' He then raised his hand and struck me across tbe face, knocking my hat off. then rushed from the oflice almost insane, and went to my sister's, telling her I had left rov husband. This was on June 12, Hsl'. 1 went to my mother's home and told ber why I had left him. After I left him he wrote me two letters. One of them was very loving, but I knew it was from his in and not from his heart. The other contained verses of ioetry. 1 went to the St. James Hotel a few days afterward t i get my clothes, I sailed for Europe in the Pavonia, of the Anchor Line, soon after, to the Highlands of Scotland for treatment, my health being impaired. I then went to an academy, where I stndied music. I took lessons from Ole Bull on the violin. I am an amateur player. When I was married my husband forbade my playing. ine evening 1 picked up the violin, and he said he could not bear the scratching noise. I went from the room and played in the next room. He came in say ing he would smash it. He tooü it ana tnrew it into the fire. On one occasion there were some friends invited by Mr. Ixiud to his room in the Pevere House. My husband asked me to plav. I had an abscess under my arm which gave me great pain, and l said 1 could not hold tbe violin, and when 1 still refused ta play he cut the strings with his penknife. I cried, and my husband or dered me to my room, saving I was a baby. He frequently gave me what he called 'the grecian-bend kiss,' which was performed by taking me by the arms and bending me backwards and striking me w ith Iiis knees. He would tickle me on the back and spine, caus ing me great annoyunct. and would pinch me daily. He did not want me to kiss my lather, lie said it was nd proer lor a mar ried woman. He was very immodest in my picsence. He would pur my feet on his knees in the dining room, when he knew the wait ers must have seen him, and on one occasion when mv sisters were at the table, afier mv return from Euroin. He did not speak tö me w hen we met on the street. have been supported by my father since then." Prepanug to neonater Disease.
