AN exchange thinks that West Virginia, whose trout streams were well provided for by the river and harbor bill ought for decency's sake, now that that bill has passed, to be put down in the geographies as an archipelago at the very least.

A JOURNAL which wants an official definition of what constitutes a navigable river says: "In Virginia a stream three feet deep and thirty feet wide is considered large enough to float an appropriation in the River and Harbor bHl, and some statesmen hold tlia'. ten inches of depth is sufficient." Ten inches! Too much!

WITH the retirement of Hannibal Hamlin from the United Stales Senate, the last man who participated in its deliberations when Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Cass, Benton, Maaon, Hunter and 8eward were party leaders and Senators will have disappeared. He constituted the last link which connects the days of thosa great men with the present.

WE Jike this which the Boston Journa says of Senator Thurman: "He has been, by virtue of his great ability, the leading man in his party, and one of the ablest and most influential men in the Senate. Had the Democratic party accepted him as a leader several years since, it would to-day occupy a more enviable position. For years he combated the financial heresies of his section aud party, but in an evil hour, and while thinking of the Presidency, he threw away his conspicuous record on the cur. rency question, and indorsed 'the Ohio idea.' This was because he consented to follow. There is no stain upon his official integrity. His last words in the debate on the River and Harbor Bill were not only in opposition to that measure, but were a warning to his party. 'The Democratic party used to protect the Treasury in the past,' said the old Senator, 'but the Democracy of to day are lor "the old flag and an appropriation The country, regardless of party, holds the retiring Senator of Ohio in deserved esteem for his ability and his intergrity as a legislator.

a

senate resolution, information as to the working of the civil service rules in the New York custom house. President Hayes on Tuesday sent a message to con gress, accompanied by a report for Collector Merritt, of New York, in reply to Senator Conkling's resolution, and that report sets forth that all permanent ap pointments have been conferred in accordance with the civil service rules, adopted by collector Merritt when he took charge of the office that promotions have been made on ground of length of service aq£ efficiency alone and that where any ap pointment and has been made in apparent defiance of the frules it has been only a temporary one. Collector Merritt makes

incumbency from $79,000,000 to $142,000 000, and that, while the cost of collections under Gen. Arthur was nearly 78-lOOths of 1 per cent., the cost of collection during his own term hat been slightly under 52-100ths of 1 per cent.

NEW YORK, NOV, 2,1859.

The lion. H. A. Wise: MY DEAR SIR:—Read this letter over carefully, and whether concurring or not in its view, believe it emanates from your friend and a man^ who has a thorough knowledge of the'pulse of the ioplfi of the Free States. Your proceedings and conduct thus far in the matter of the conspiracy at Harper's Ferry meet with general approval and elicit commendation from your enemies. The firmness and moderation which have characterized your course cannot be too highly applauded, and to day you stand higher than any other man in the Union. Now, my dear friend, dare you do a bold thing and "temper justice with mercy?" Have you nerve enough to send Brown to State Prison for life instead of hanging him? Or rather I should ask whether such a course would be consistent with your own sense of duty, for I know that that is the sole controller cfyour official conduct. Brown is looked upon here as the mere crazy or foolhardy emissary of other men. Circumstances create a svn^ pathy for him even with the most ultra friends of the South. I am of this lq^ec class, as by recent speeches you may have observed. No Southern man could go further than myself in behalf o£ Southern rights, bnt yet, were I the Governor of

Virginia, Brown should not be hpug, though Seward should be if I could catch him, and in such a course my conduct would be governed by sound policy. The South will gain by showing that it can be magnanimous to a fanatic in its power We who fight its battles can gain largely by pointing to such an instance of "chivalry." You can judge of Southern sentiment better than myself I can judge of Northern sentiment better than you.

A FORTUNATE TURN.

The Remarkable Luok of a French Cornet Plnyer, who Mikes a Small ..Fortune in a Single Day f'T

f*'

Mr. G. Clayettc, first cornet of the French Opera Company's orchestra, is certainly a gentleman whose good fortune many persons will envy. The history of the circumstances attending the stroke oi luck by which lie became the possesser, suddenly, of fifteen thousand dollars, illustrates the fact that one is guided to the road to fortune sometimes by events apparently very insignificant.

Last Friday, Mr Clayette was strolling along Royal street, in the vicinity of Conti, when he gchanced to observe a gentern an enter the office of Juan Jose Libano, No. 85 Royal, and inspect some tick' ets for the monthly drawing of the Louisiana Lottery Company. Mr. Clayette itopped and watched the proceedings and debating in his mind whether he, too, should try his luek. He saw the gentleman lay down a dollar and purchase half of a ticket. The nrnnber, of course, he could not see, but h^ had remarked the place in the window from which the ticket had been taken, he walked in and purchased the remaining half of the ticket upon which his attention had been fixed. It was the numher 98,580, But Wednesday cametland Mr. Clavette, glancing over the list of ^prizes published i® the Picayutyt was astonished to find that ticket No. 93,580 had won thirty thousand dollars.

He held half of that ticket, and ctmse 1 auently was entitled to fifteen thousand dollars—seventy-five thousand francs This intelligence he conveyed to hi8 friends, but Uiey could scarcely realize that their confrere of ihe orchestra had been so successful. They thought there must be some mistake. "Seventy-five thousand francs for one dollar!" It was too much. They could not believe it.

Nevertheless, it was true, delightfully true, so far -as Mr. Clayette was concerned. The writer met him on Thursday morning as he came out of the Louisiana Lottery Compuiy's office, on St. Charles strees, with a check on the Louisiana National Bank for $15,000.

Suffice it to say, it was Mr. Isaac Kern who had preceded Mr. Clayette into Libano's office, on Roral street, and pur chased half of ticket No. 98,586. He, too, is now richer by $15,000. "You are from France, I believe." remarked the reporter to Mr. Clayette. "Yes," he replied in French, "this is my first visit to America. I came from Paris with Mr. de Beauplan's Opera Company." "Is this your first speculation in lot tery tickets?' ••No, indeed," said Mr. Clayette, "I have before bought tickets in the Paris Lottery, but never won anything, and was begining to think I never would be so fortunate aa to obtain a prize in a lottery," "You will not forget New Otleans when you go away f' "Certainly not," he responded with a smile *'I have a beautiful souvenir of this city," pointing to his check.

In the course of conversation, Mr. Clayette observed that he would still continue to play the comet, but hie thought the notes would sound sweeter thrn they had in the past. Beforr leaving Paris he had a presentiment that some good fortune was in store for him, and that if had come he was happy.

Mr. Clayette is a handsome man, in the prime of life. It was learned that he has traveled much, and at one time was soldjer.—Jf. Q. Picayumet Feb.W.

STOCK FEEDING.

A Remarkable Case of Gain Made by W. Harry Brown—How he Won $25 of John F. Ferrell.

A

To the Editor of the GASKTT*: Under this heading I read an article in the GAZETTE of last week, which with the exception of one or two mistakes of dates and one or two mistakes of the type setter is correct. I want to tell the farmers and feeders how I fed and cared for the hogs. I will willingly do so in my article below which I hope will do good to many farmers and feeders and harm to none. I will also give my method of summer feeding on clover, or other grasses, which I hope will be of value to farmers and feeders.

John J. Ferrel tauntingly bantered me to back my judgment on the gain I could make, and I aid it, and won the money with ease, as I well knew I could. When Ferrel said: "Young man I am afraid you never fed many hogs," he mistook me. I have several times weighed the hogs in, weighed the feed in, and after feeding the feed to the hogs weighed the hogs out to see what I could do and what I could afford to do. Not to make a b?ow of it or to gain a reputation as a feeder, but that I might know what could afford to do in feeding when I had both hogs and feed to buy.

There are some things I know about hogs and hog feeding, and I am satisfied that there are many men who know more about it than I do, because they have had opportunities of learning more. What I know I willingly give, and would be glad to learn from those who know more than I do. I may teach them some things and they may teach me some things, and we may each be benefitted^ When Ferrel and I made the bet I was feeding all of my hogs just what I have fed since. I have not since procured any feed and have fed just such feed as I had on hand at that time, namely: Ground corn, corn in ear* and house slop, and four or five times I have given them a small feed of cooked potatoes for a change and an appetizer. I have also given them four small feeds of soured meal with a little salt, wood ashes and sulphur.

Their feed has been soaked meal, house slop and corn in ear, sometimes dry meal. I feed six times per day, at 6 A.M., 10 A.M., 12 A. M.,8:30F.M.,TIP M. and 8:30 P. M. First, I brought them up to full feed without stolling or foundering them, in about seven days, which is the harder and most particular thing to do. Since that time I have fed them about as follows, varying a little as I saw their appetites varied: At 6 A. 31. 8 buckets of soaked meal, 4 buckets of house slop at 10 A. M. 5 buckets soaked meal, 4 buckets house slop at 12 A. M. 4 buckets dry meal at 3:30 P. M. 5 buck ets soaked meal, 3 buckets house slop at 6 P. M. 6 buckets soaked meal, 4 buck ets bouse slop at 8:30 P. M. 1% bushels corn in ear. My boy eleven years old ted the hogs by my instructions, and kept good fresh water by them all the time. I had tolerably good sheds for them to sleep under. My meal was not of the best, the corn it was made out of being considerably chaffy. One hog was sick from the. beginning and played Dr Tanner for seven days, had a largo gath ering tn his swallow. I performed a surgical operation on him ana he did eat some after that, doing well now Ferrel bet me I could not make the thirty-eight

days twenty-

days and 100% pounds in thirty days. This is about three pounds per day for the. first seventeen days and near 4 pounds per day for the next eight days, and 8 8-5 pounds for the last five days. The last five days the weather was very stormy and bad, else I think they would have gained as much per day as they did the •eceeding eight days.

Ihis is good proof that it is actual gain and that the hogs were correctly weighed, to begin with, l&e following is a copy of a certificate of the weight of the hogs when I bought them.

LEWIS, IND., Feb. 23,1881.

This is to certify that I sold to W. H. Brown 88 bogs, on January 80th, 1881, and weighed them on my scales to him, and that their weight was 5,020 pounds.

M. S. BOSTON.

P. S. If this won't do, I am willing to be qualified to this statement. M. S. B.

M. S. Boston lives at Lewis Postoffice, eighteen miles from my pens. It was Friday afternoon when I bought the hogs. I drove them home, arriving there in the evening. Saturday went to town, made the bet with Ferrel and he was to come and see the hogs weighed Monday morning. *He came out, and prefferedto take my weight at Lewis in preference to re-weighing, said he was in a hurry about other business. The hogs had only been fed one bushe! of corn and four buckets of house slop from Satur day evening to Monday morning, and I was confident they would weigh leas than at Lewis, but to accommodate him accepted his proposition and began feeding. I mix the meal stiff, like mush, so that they eat it as food, not thin, so that they have to drink it. I soak it from twelve to twenty-four hours and feed it sweet I have not kept an account of the amount of feed it has taken. I have made 100 pounds on six bushels of corn, ground and in ear, when feeding on clover. I made mtore money feeding 75 cent corn over clover when hogs were worth 8 to 8.10 groes, than I have ever made since. This was, I think, two or three years after the late war. I remember, as will many of my neighbors in Pierson township, that I hogea down 40 acres of splendid wheat and realized more without harvesting and threshing than I could to have harvested it. Wheat that rear brought from $1.00 to $1.10 while nogs brought from $8 to $9 gross. Notwithstanding that the thirty-eight hogs have been fed six feeds in every twenty-four hours, they have only occupied about one hour and thirty minutes in eating— from tea to fifteen minutes to each feed —and frill twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four were spent in lying down resting, and sleeping. In next week's issue I will write you what I know of the nature of the hog and how I think they should be managed and fed.

Yours respectfully, W. HARRT BROWN.

ACCIDENT.

A TerriWe Accident at Kilis' Woolen

_*

4^' 'A

Peter Peters Caught in a Belt and Instantly Killed. a&ffia 1fT

A Mangled Mass of Fesh and Bonee —TheInqnest

A terrible accident. similar to the one that occurea at Kidder Bros, mill, took place this morning at G. F. Ellis & Son's woolen mill and resulted in the loss of one life. A young man named Peter Peters whose duty it was to teed cards, undertook to throw the belt off. Several workman cried to him to stop, but it was too late the belt caught him by the leg and whirled him around the shaft above.

The belt makes 120 revolutions in a minute and its torce can thus be judged. The boy's head was dashed violently against the ceiling, his brains were scattered and his body presented a terrible spectacle of mangled flesh, bone and blood. In the revolutions his clothos were torn off and blood scattered in the face of a workman standing near by. The foreman of the mill ran to tbe engine room and had the machinery stopped. This occured at 15 minutes to 11 o'clock.

Twenty-two girls are employed in the. weaving department. Their horror waa indescribable and it is almost unnecessary to state that the weaving room was soon emptied and the office was filled with screaming females. Some of them were crying, others very near so, but terror sat upon every countenance. Work was stopped in all the departments and the Coroner summoned. That gentleman arrived in a short time and an inquest was held, with C. A. Robinson as clerk.

T^e following testimony was adduced: S. W. Hilton testified: I am foreman of the mills Peters was an employe I saw him run down and throw the belt off I cried "Let Go" aud he made a step aud the belt caught him by the ieet and swung him up to the ceiling I ran to the engine cause and stopped the machinery the deceased has been employed here about six or seveu months.

James

Toombs testified: I was stand­

ing with Mr. Hilton and his testimony is correct I called to Peters to let go of the belt but he did not.

Il appears that the mill owners were in no way to blame for the accident. Mr. G. F. Elils said that with 45 yeara experience in the business, tb is was the first accident of the kind that occurred in his mills. The proprietors were much griev-' ed and did all in their power to console the uncle of the boy who arrived some few minutes later. John P." Peters, uncle of the boy, says the deceased was between 19 and 20 years.of age. He was born in France and his lather at present resides in Ameins. His mother died while he was yet a child. He worked in tbe woolen mills in France and, expressing a desire to come to America, his uncle brought him out nearly two years ago. He could speak English imperlectly, but as he devoted his evenings to the study of the language, he was learning rapidly. The proprietors say he was a prompt, honest boy and intended to have rewarded him with an increase of wages this week. Mr. Peters lives south of the city on the Prairieton road. The Ijoy was told by the fireman to be extremely careful of the machinery and especially of the belts. He had been working in the mill sinco last October. The coroner returned a verdict of accidental death.
