In the Senate this afternoon, Mr. Conkling, for the Republican Sena tors, demanded an immediate vote on a motion of Mr. Hoar to lay on the table the resolution of Mr. Thurman to discharge the Committee on Privi leges and Elections from the further consideration of the credentials of M. C. Butler us Senator from South Carolina.

Conover of Florida and Davis of Illi nois voting with the Democrats in favor of the executive session. HOUSE ELECTION COMMITTEE. The Elections Committee of the House is postponed until regular ses sion. *" LOUISIANA VISITORS APPROPRIATION LEFT OUT. The deficiency’ bill that was before the House to-day’ does not contain the item to defray the expenses of the President’s Louisiana Commission. There was such an item in the bill as originally reported from the Com mittee on Appropriations, but subse quently that bill was withdrawn and recommitted, and, us reported back, it omitted all reference to the Louisi ana Commission. It is surmised that this change of mind on the part of the Committee was caused by a de sire to avoid a text for a political dis cussion that might be both dilatory and excited. SPOFFOHD-KELLOao CASE, Special to Enquirer-Sund Washington, Nov. 21.—The fol lowing is an abstract of briefs ill the Spofford-Kellogg case before the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections: Judge Sliellnbargcr's brief for Kellogg denies the power of the Senate to question the award of the Returning Boards and admits that the returns as made by the commissioners of elec tion, show that three of the Packard Senators and ten of the Representa tives, who jollied in electing him, and were essentinl to his quorum, were beaten at the ballot-box, but claims that they were beaten by intimidation and were rightly counted in by the Returning Board. That the Sherman and Howe testimony is ample proof in the case that the Packard Govern ment was the true government chosen by the people, and after his election was overthrown by criminal revolu tion; that Long, of Desoto, was a Democrat who denied his own elec tion to aid his party. Judge Spofrord rejoins that the power of the Senate is plenary to de termine which was the real Legisla ture, and to that end to inquire whom the people elected; that the admis sions show that enough of the Pack ard Senate and House were defeated to leave hotli without a quorum every day they pretended to sit; the seating of Baker and Kelso was an illegal farce; that Kellogg’s joint as sembly contained only seventy elect ed members—nine less than a quo rum; that the Returning Board was without constitutional power to sup press a single poll, as the commis sioners’ returns were required to go unchanged to the Secretary of State ; that, the destruction of polls by taking evidence of intimidation was a judicial act, which the Constitution inhibited to return ing officers; that their count was illegal and void, because they looked only at the Supervisors’ consolidated statements and did not compile the Commissioners’ returns; that they trampled on their own law by making forbidden inquiries without the foundation that law prescribed; that Kellogg himself instituted illegul complaints and the Board acted on them collusively and fraudulently ; that the Vernon parish returns were altered by forgery in order to defeat Smart and elect Brown to the House; that no other uets of violence than those between the 28th of Aguust and the 7tli of November were exuminnble, and the murders charged were chiefly outside of those dates, and non-political, exaggerated and often rebutted; that the Morrison and Field testimony must be consid ered if the Sherman and Howe testi mony was, and that Long was a Re publican and supported only by Re publicans. In closing lie says: The historian will look in vain for that imaginary line, which Mr. Kel- C0LUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1877 NO. 275 logg’s counsel was hunting for, where tlie Packard government ended, and where the Nicholls government be gan. These governments, such us they were, hud simultaneous birth; thexine which my competitor seeks to represent was still-born and has been laid away. The other, which I have tlie honor to represent, was born capable of living, still lives, and will continue to live through its constitu tional term to restore peace and bless a people who have suffered so long the misery of being ruled by the hand of the stranger. FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. SENATE. Washington, November 21.—Sev eral private bills were considered at 12:20. Conkling submitted motion to adjourn, but at the suggestion of Mr.Humilton withdrew itandon mo- tionof tlie last named the Semite went into executive session. Silver bill was reported after Exec utive session. Thurman’s resolution to discharge the Committee on Privileges and Elections from further consideration of the Senatorial contest from Soutli Carolina was discussed to adjourn ment. Elections committee of the House •pointed a sub-committee of Finney, C(>bb and Thornburg on the Florida contest of Finley vs. Bisbee. MR. IIILL, OF GEORGIA, SPEAKS. In tlie Senate discussing Thur man's motion to discharge the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections from tlie further consideration of the South Carolina Senatorial contest, Mr. Hill, of Ga., a member or the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions, said, as a member of tlie com mittee, he would vote for the resolu tion submitted by tlie Senator from Ohio, Mr. Thurman, but lie deemed it WH. IIII,/,, OF fiXOIBM, SPEAKS. The Discussion oit DlMhurglnc (he Control I lee on Privilege* road Klee* lion* In (he NpofTord'Kellonr t'»*e. to be his duty in justice to himself, the committee and tlie Senate testate briefly tlie reasons influencing him for this vote, and he would endeavor to do so without arraigning any-one. He did not think the resolution of the Senator from Ohio could be consid ered as discourteous to tlie Committee on Privileges and Elections and according to his views of tlie facts in the case he thought the resolution a proper one. He then reviewed at some length the case of Mr. Eustis, claiming a seat as Senator from Louisiana. Those of Messrs. Butler and Corbin, claiming a seat as Senator from South Carolina, and those of Messrs. Kellogg ami Spoft’ord, claiming the seat from Louisiana, and said during the dis cussion of the Pincliback case in the Senate, tlie Senator from Indiana, now deceased, Mr. Morton, distinctly stated that if Pincliback was not en titled to tlie seat Eustis was, subse quently the Senate decided that Pincliback was not entitled to tlie sent. He had hoped at tile beginning of this session that no one would want to reopen the Louisiana case, but that Mr. Spoflford would be seat ed. In this lie was mistaken. In his opinion the committee should have considered these credentials in the order of their date, which would have brought the Eustis case first, the Butler-Corbin case second, and tlie SpofTord-Kellogg case third ; but the committee deeided to invite Messrs. Kellogg and Spoflford to present their eases first, and of course Messrs. But ler, Corbin and Eustis could not pre sent their cases until invited by the committee to do so. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, said the credentials of Mr. Kellogg were first referred to the committee on March 7th, 1877. Those of Messrs. Butler and Corbin were afterwards referred on the same day, but the Eustis credentials were not referred until the next day. Mr. Hill, in resuming, said he did not oppose the consideration of tlie Kellogg-Spofford case when the floin- mittee took it up because lie thought it would not consume much time. He thought it could be settled in an hour, as it was historically known that the people of Louisiana had set tled their own controversy, and, in his judgment, it was needless for the Senate to waste time to inquire as to what body was the legal Legislature of Louisiana. He then referred to the action of the Committee on Privi leges and Elections, and said this was the first instance he ever knew of where the judges in sisted upon Inquiry into tlie merits of a dispute, after the disput ants themselves hud settled the mat ter. He was guilty of supposing and hoping, aye, and believing that the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions would immediately say, “we will not open a settled dispute; will not revive u conciliated controversy, but we will take this settlement us tlie people of the State have made it, and tie satisfied with it.” He bud built air castles often in his life, and he confessed that this was an air castle. On tlie 22d of October lie offered in committee a resolution to accept tlie settlement in Louisiana, but it was rejected. The committee cut itself loose from the harbor of peace which tlie people of Louisiana laid made for them, and launched out the boat on a very troublesome sea. A majority of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, six to three members, he hoped, would never be come classical, resolved not to ubide by the settlement made by the peo ple of Louisiana, but decided to open all those questions, of which the earth ought to be sick, about return ing boards,frauds, violence and every thing else. Mr. Hill, on the 25th of •October moved, in tlie committee, take up the case of Eustis, but w unsuccessful. He believed the cast of Mr. Eustis-should have been con sidered without delay, because Louis iana bad no Senator on this floor and there were important nominations effecting that State pending before the Senate, besides there was no con testant for the seat of Mr. Eustis. Mr. McMillan, of Minnesota, a member of the committee, asked if that very question was not now be fore the committee? Mr. Hill replied, it was not. He knew that the Senator-from Minne sota, Mr. McMillan, hud tried to get it there, but no one voted with him; and there could be no contestant for Mr. Eustis, unless, contrary to all usage, the Senate should refer tlie Pinchbeck case to tlie committee. He knew there hud been a communica tion from Pincliback before the com mittee, but the chairman was directed to notify him that lie had no credentials there and Ills claim could not be considered. He (Mr. Hill) agreed with the Senator from Delaware (Mr. Saulsbury) that the Committee could have disposed of both the Eustis and Butler cases and still have the promises of it in tlie Hpoflbrd-Kellogg case. He did not agree with the chairman of tlie Com mittee (Mr. Wudleigh) that one case should be settled before another was taken up. 5Vas it right that a gentle man whose credentials were before the Committee, whose seat was not contested, should be compelled to lie around the Senate chamber and this city for months because a contested case happened to have been taken up first? Was an unlitigated case to be postponed until a iita- gated case could be disposed of? Tlie Shite of Louisiana had a right to be represented oil this floor and it would be better to reject Mr. Eustis than to keep him waiting. Louisiana thought she had elected a Senator, but the Senate said not. He conceded to the Senators on tlie other side a de sire to see what was right, but lie dif fered with them in judgment. He was perfectly willing that this Soutli Carolina ease should be settled up. Tlie facts contained in the brief of Mr. Corbin, tlie contestant of Mr. Butler, botli gentlemen ugree as to tacts, but differed in tiieirconclusions and legal projMisitions. The brief tiled by Mr. Corbin w’as a frank and manly statement of facts. There was not a single legal proposition in theCorbin- Butler case, which any Senator would call a difficult one and it should be disposed of without delay. Mr. Wudleigh, of New Hampshire, said the question of what had been done or wlnit should be done in tlie Eustis case had nothing to do with tlie resolution now before the Senate. That cuse hud been the pack-horse upon which to load charges against the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions. Mr. Eustis imd not asked to have his case taken up by the com mittee in March last, when his cre dentials were referred to tlie commit tee. Mr. Eustis requested that they should not be considered then, and lie left for Louisiana on important person al business. Hud his case been consid ered then during tlie absence the Democratic Senators would have raised tlie cry that gross injustice was done him. He repeated that the Kellogg-Spofford case would soon be finished, because all the material facta had all been agreed upon. He said no member of the Committee on Privileges and Elections litui ever hinted or whispered that the motion would be made to dis charge the Committee on Privi leges and Elections from further consideration of tlie Butler case, though it should have been said that such a motion would be made in the Eustis case. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, said both Messrs. Eustis and Butler had re quested him, outside of the commit tee, to have their cases considered promptly, und he replied he would do all in his power to nave them acted on without delay. After a long colloquul debate, Mr. Conkling, of New York, said:. The experience of this day had been ex traordinary. The Senate had listened to altercations between Senators as to what took place on committees, all of which was unparliamentary. A Senator moved to lay tlie resolution of tlie Senator from Oliioon the table, which was entirely within the usage and propriety of the Senate. A Sen ator moved a resolution, representing no committee, but doing soot' his own volition, could not draw unto him self ull the attributes of u chairman of u committeeentitled to close debate on an important measure. The yeas and nays had been ordered on the motion’ to lay tlie resolution on tlie table, and he submitted that the Senator from Massa chusetts, Mr. Hoar, laid no right to withdraw that motion now. For one, lie wanted to see the sense of the Sen ate taken us promptly as possible upon what lie regarded as the very extraordinary motion to discharge the Committee on Privileges and Elections from further consideration of these credentials. As tlie vote upon Mr. Hoar's motion was about to be taken, Mr. Bumum moved Hint the Senate proceed to tlie consideration of executive business. Mr. Conkling and others: “Oh, no; let us have a vote on the motion to lay on the table.” The motion for an executive ses sion was agreed to—yeas 30, nays 20, us follows: Yeas—Messrs. Bailey, Barnaul, Bayard, Beck, Coke, Conover, Davis (of Illinois), Davis (of West Virgi nia), Dennis, Eaton, Garland, Gor don, Harris, Hereford, Hill, John ston, Jones (of Florida), Lamar, Mc- Crcery, McDonald, McPherson, Mcr- rinion, Morgan, Randolph, Sauls bury, Thurman, Voorhees, Wallace, Whyte and Withers—30. Nays—Mcsssrs. Allison, Booth, Bruce, Burnside, Cameron (of Pennsylvania), Chaffee, Cliris- tiunev, Conkling, Dawes, Dor sey, Hamlin, Hour, Howe, Ingalls, Jo’ncs of Nevada, Kirkwood, McMil lan, Matthews, Mitchell, Morrill, Oglesby, Paddock, Rollins, Sargent, Saunders, Spencer, Teller, Wudleigh and Windani—20. Messrs. Ransom, Armstrong, Grover, Kernan, Cock rell and Mu.xey, who would have voted in the affirmative, were paired with Messrs. Anthony, Plumb, Blaine, Cameron of Wisconsin, Ed munds and Kerry, who would have voted in the negative. The Senators in announcing these pairsstated that, although till on Executive garded such n political' signili withheld their Hamlin announced Blaine and Grm mid both were al vot motion ill they re us one of and therefore , When Mr. that Messrs, r were paired, be ....... ..... cut from the city and probably would not be here this session. Tlie only Senators who did not vote or were not paired were Messrs. Patterson, of South Carolina, and Sharon, of Nevada. While the doors were being closed Mr. Allison, of Iowa, from the Committee on Fi nance, rejmrted with amendments the House bill to authorize the free coin age of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender character. Placed on the calendar. HOIMC. House occupied all day in consider ation of the deficiency bill, which ap propriated about one and a half mil lions dollars. The two principal items were to pay judgments of the Court of Claims and the salaries of postmasters. On motion of Waddell, of North Carolina,an amendment was adopted rendering available for the starser- vieeof the postoffice the currying of the mails on other than railroad and steamboat routes, $700,000, licre- retofore appropriated hut not expend ed. The amendment, however, was voted down in the House. No furth er action was taken on tlie bill. FRANCE. OAHBETTA ELECTED PBEMIBEXT. Probable Ministry *■- M Inlstry Must Agree With the Lefl—Flnniiclol Con* dltlon. The Deputies Insist on their Ministry. Vkhsailles,Nov.20.—The Deputies by a vote of 2!)7 to 210 passed a motion Introduced by M. Betlimoiit to the ettbct that, in view 1 of the doctrines, enunciated by tlie Duke DeBroglle, yesterday, tlie ('handier being resolv ed to maintain its prerogatives against the encroachment, adjourns discus sion on the validity of the election of M. Reille, under .Secretary of State as Minister of tlie Interior until the Electoral Abuses Committee shall have reported on his doings relative to official candidatures, ill. Marian then urged thut, as the Ministry had resigned, and no regular Government existed tlie Chuiubcroughttoadjourn. The Chamber, notwithstanding the protests of the Right, ugreed by 233 to 231 to adjourn until Thursday. In the bureaux, M. Gambettu being asked whether tlie Left would vote direct taxes at once, replied that that depended on circumstances. Tlie bu reaux have elected a budget commit tee. All its members belong to the Left. The attitude of the Chamber of Deputies lias created a deep impres sion everywhere. The Senate, to-day, adjourned until Thursday. PROBABLE MINISTRY. The France publishes the circular of the Ministers of Finance and Com merce, enjoining their subordinates to assist the electoral abuses commit tee neither directly nor indirectly. London, November 21.—Reuter's Paris dispatch says the new Ministry will not lie gazetted before Thursday. It is expected Gen. Grimandet De Rhochuubet will lie PresidentofCoun- cll and Minister of War ; M. Battbie, Minister of Instructions; M. Pouyer Overtier, Finance; M. DePeyer, Jus tice; M. DeWelche, Interior: M. Bon neville, Foreign Aftiiirs; M. DeLome, Commerce; M. DeMontgoltier, Works; Admiral Giequel Des Neuehes, Ma rine. Tlie Times' Paris correspondent, commenting on tlie latest list of the probable ministers, says such a Min istry must either resign after its first encounter with the Chamber of Deii- uties or tlie Chamber must be again dissolved. In the latter case a virtual coup d'etat is inevitable, as another Chamber could not be elected in time to rate the budget, and the Govern ment would, therefore, have to collect taxes without authorization. FINANCIAL CONDITION. London, Nov. 21.—The Times' li- nancial column says in consequence of the low rate of discount at Paris, business may now be expected to lie diverted there and rates be corres pondingly weaker, though no reduc tion of the Bank of England rate of live per cent, is anticipated until its reserve is materially strengthened. Paris, Nov. 21.—The Ilrpubliquc Franeaisc, in view of the .Senate's pre tension and the President’s refusal to change his policy, it becomes the clear duty of the Chamber of Deputies to refuse to vote tlie budget. The Chamber must save the country. No budget must be voted as long as tlie majority has not the ministry in whom it can place confidence. FRENCH CONDITION. London, Nov. 21.—-The Times has a long article on the French situa tion, which concludes as follows: “The moderate Right of the (Senate did not mean toproduoe the mischief they have occasioned, tmt the result is before us. The powers of France ure arrayed against one another like army against urmy.” M. GAMBETTA ELECTED PRESIDENT. Special to Enquirer-Nun.) Paris, Nov. 21.—The Budget Com mission to-day elected M. Gauibctta President, lii a speech, Gauibctta reminded the Commission they were armed with the sanction of the nation al sovereignty, for which it was their duty to secure a triumph. He said: “We shall remain within the limitsof strictest legality and endeavor to keep within the same bounds those who seek to deviate from them. We must expose tlie incapacity of tin men of the 16th of-May. We shall have to examine the special credits opened during the recess, which right-minded men consider illegal. -o- ♦ Closed on Account of Ncnrlcl Fever. Boston, November 21.—Owing to the prevalence of scarlet fever at Wellesly College the authorities have temporarily suspended the school.

Manchester, Nov. 21. — The Guardian's Peru correspondent tele graphs as follows: “We have jusf heard of the capture of Kurs. Tlie graphs as follow fall of Erzeroum is expected to follow. Tlie Porte now upiiears desirious of entertaining peace proposals. Berner Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mahmoud Damud are said to be more favorable to peace."

TYPOS AS ACTOBS• The Theatrical People Who Began Life In Printing Ofllees. “Printers?” did you say, remarked Mr. Stuart Robson, inquiringly of the Sun reporter, a few nights ago, as he wus on the way toil Boston train. “Why, my dear boy, all our leading actors have worked with the stick and rule at the ease. It’s the most natural thing in the world for prin ters to become uetors und for writers and players to ruli elbows together.” “How do you reason out your theo ry?" “Setting type is composition. A pointer couldn’t write uu uiignim- liiatieal sentence if he tried. So with writers. Writing Is but another word for acting. Both are tlie literature of thought, if you will allow tlie expres sion. Its art: und iIs the most natu ral tiling in the world, i should fancy, for printers to drift from the case to the stage or the editorial sanctum.” “Who of the actors of the present day are printers by trade?” “Let me see,” said Mr. Robson, musingly. “There’s J. H. Stod dard,one of our best ’old men;’ lie was a typo, and a good one, too. Then there’s Montague, of Walluek’s; one wouldn’t think to see him bowling up Fifth avenue behind his spun of hang-tail thoroughbreds that lie was once a printer.” “Is that so?" queried the re|s>rter “I heard that ho was in some way connected with a nobleman, and that lie has had the exceptional advan tages of good surroundings and a universal education.” “You’vebeen misinformed, my boy. Montaiigue, the gallant that half Murray Hill is breaking its heart over, was a type setteron the London Fra, and tlnit at not a very remote period, either. Then there's Harry Crisp and Lawrence Barrett; botli were printers. Barrett bad an bum ble origin, but be bus been studious, and is now one of tlie best read men in tlie profession. John Moore, of tlie Fifth Avenue Theatre, is another typo. Joe Jefferson, the best actor of modern times, oneeearned his bread al the ease. So did that capitalcome- dian, W. H. Crane ; as did William Warren, of Boston, and Charles Burke, of Philadelphia. Of deni actors who achieved world-wide fame, William E. Burton and James W. Wallaek, Jr., belonged to tlie craft. John Parselle was acompositor. So was you humble servant, but I think I was a better printer than I am an actor. I believe Neil Bryant was a flyboy; and j ing Williams was one.

Thedore Hamilton, another good actor, was a sub. prin ter for years. I had almost forgotten (‘tins. Fisher. He used to stick type i like a race horse. Not long ago lie told me that lie went into a printing office for the first time in thirty years. He said lie found the situa tion of all the boxes readily, except the rccptuelc for the interrogation murks; and that 'wanted to know what the mischief I wusdoing there?" Tli« II on ami The fallowing article has been con densed from “A Manual oil the Hog,” published by tbe Department of Ag riculture of tlie State oft icorgiu. The facts gathered are valuable to all sec tions in the latitude of the south of that State. SELECTION OF RREEDS. Each breeder must determine, for himself, the leading object, which lie will keep In view, and adhere to It, If he would attain success. This object will depend upon his surroundings, and tlie purpose for which his hogs are to be used. If bis object is to raise thorough breds, with a view of selling the off spring for breeding purposes, he must consider, carefully, the need of tlie farmers to whom'he expects to sell, and select such pure breed us will lie best suited to the circumstances of his expected customers, whether bred pure, or crossed upon tlie common stock of the country. If his object, as ‘ will generally he (lie ease, be to raise the most profita ble hog for bacon to be consumed on tlie farm, bis surrounding must have an Important influence in determin ing tbe character of stock to lie bred. If lie lias large forest range, where the hogs are expected to find their own living, on natural products, which cost lint little, In’ will succeed best with mi industrious, slow-matur ing breed, which will keep healthy on but little food, and have theindus- try to seek it in the forest. The im proved breeds, which mature rapidly anil require much of their food sup plied them by their owners will not succeed under the above circumstan ces. If be expects to keep bis hogs ill his fields, on crops planted for them, a cross of pure bred Berkshire, Essex, Poland Chinn or Jersey Reds, oil large native sows, will liest suit bis purpose. A cross of the Jersey Red oil the native would probably succeed as a “range" hog, and produce more pork than the common grade stock now used in Georgia. The best hog, for general purposes, in Georgia, is obtained by crossing the large native sows with Berkshire, Essex, Poland Chinn, nr Jersey Red hours, and killing September pigs ut eighteen, and the spring litters at nine, or ten, months old. Tlie pigs farrowed in September will make large meat when eighteen months old, suited lo feeding negro laborers; tlie spring pigs, pushed through the sum mer mid full, mid fattened the next winter, will make smaller meat, and admirably suited for tlie table of the farmer. Pure bred hears should be Used to cross upon the native, orgrade sows for pork. If the grade lioaraare used, degeneracy will be the result, but the grades are abetter “farmer’s hog” than the pure breeds. For table use, great size is not desi rable, but for laborers, large sides are preferable. These the grades will supply at eighteen mouths old. it will liot he profitable to keep hogs through two winters, unless they sub sist mainly upon the productions of the forest, and, hence, wo should breed varieties Hint are capable of being fattened at uny age. The long-legged, rangy hog will consume more food, in a give'll time, tlimi the improved grades, and yet is difficult to fatten before lie is two years old. Even if lu nsunied no more in two years than the other in half that time, to produce a given weight of pork, the risk of thieves and disaster is greater, from the fact that he is kept on hand longer. The cheapest mid best pork tlnit can lie raised is from spring pigs, forced through the Hummer and fall, and butchered the following winter. Wo need a black, slate-colored, or sandy liogln our climate, toavold tlie mange. Hogs degenerate, perhaps more rapidly from “in-and-in” brredin// than any other animal; lienee, the hoars should nerer he allowed to seen: their own offspring: Imt, either re placed by a new purchase, or ex changed for another fulllilood of the same breed. To insure success tbe farmer must definitely determine bis policy, both as to tbe type of hog be wishes to breed, and tbe bestowal of necessary attention to supply abun dant fond at all seasons of tfie year, and adhere, j/irsistrnlly, to Jixe.il principles in both these respects. The Introduction of improved breeds will avail but little without due at tention lo the true principles of breed ing, and tile foundation of which is, that “like begets like.” If, therefore, tlie parents are inferior, and without fixed and definite type, tbe offspring will also be inferior, and profitless. SELECTION AND CARE (IF BOARS. The prudent planter is careful to select Ins planting seeds from well developed, prolific plants, and, each year, saves the best seed for future planting, recognizing tbe law which pervades the whole vegetable king dom, that “like beget like.” Tills law is equally applicable In tbe ani mal kingdom, anil should lie ns care fully observed, but ha- been sadly neglected by tbe farmers of Genrgiu. it is tbe generally received opinion among stock breeders, that tbe boar exerts u controlling influence upon the offspring. This is especially true, when n pure bred hour is used with a grade, or common sow, mid lienee the selection of tbe male animal is of prime importance to the Georgia farmer, ns lie must look mainly lo the introduction of full blood hoars lo be used on tlieeommon sows of Ihe coun try for tlie improvement of bis stock. He must remember that (lie defects, as well as the good qualities of tlie parent, ure propagated in Hie oil- spring. Tbe boar should, therefore, be hcalthlg, rigorous, and, as nearly as )Missiblc. pt eft el in form, having the most desirable purls well devel oped, mid lie should lie of a breed so well established a- to propagate, uni formly, liis peculiar type. The only breeds, from which selections may lie safely made,as being well established, und adapted in characteristics, includ- ilor, for farm hogs, are tin sufficiently industrious to take the necessary exercise to gather his food from tlie crops cultivated for him oil our farm. The result of tlie first crossof a pure bred boar on large native sows, will often produce offsprings superior in size und even appearance to the full blood, and farmers are tempted to se lect males from these grades for breed ing purposes. This will invariably lead to disappointment, since the grades, while they have inherited the good qualities of tlie male parent, have not the powers of transmitting those to their offspring. The young hoar should lie fed all that lie will eat until lie is a year old, but not allowed to get too fat. He should have exercise, anil varied diet, such us grass, roots mid meal, but not allowed to run with sows, or serve uny, before lie is at least ten months old, when lie may lie admit ted to a limited number, but should not lie allowed to jump more than ouee ill a day ; nor should lie be al lowed to serve enough to materially reduce his flesh. One service is usu ally sufficient to impregnate u sow— more than two should not he permit ted,us it is mi u 11 necessary (j rail i upon the hour, und does not increase either tlie number or vigor of the pigs. If tlie boar is allowed to serve ut irregular periods during tlie year, one will answer for u great number of sows, but as the service should lie confined to a short period ill lull und spring, in order to have the litters to come us near us possible at tlie same time, there should be a boar for every ten sows. During the period of serv ing. tlie boar should bo kept in ail enclosure to himself, and tbe sows re turned to him in tlie morning, and removed as soon as served. After the first year tlie boar will not require very rich food, but should be kept in good thriving con dition, and allowed plenty of exercise. He will be kept in full vigor gener ally until three or four years old, and, if very superior, may serve even longer; but should never be allowed to serve his own progeny. It is usually better to either exchange for uyoung boar, or convert into pork after tlie third yeur. A liumberof small furmersiua neigh borhood could purchase u boar for joint use, und thus muke tlie cost light on individuals; or if one owns a superior boar, let ins neighbors bring their sows to him, and pay a reasonable sum for each serve. English breeders pay a sovereign ($4.84) for such service. A'funner who has only the common stock, hud bet ter pay Jive dollars for ihe use oj' a thoroughbred than twerp! the service of a grade or common, boar for noth ing. A mistake very yomnion among in experienced breeders, is to confound cross-bred with thoroughbred. The off-spring of a Berkshire hour upon an Essex sow is cross-bred, not thorough bred. It is neither Berkshire nor Es sex, and is not capable of transmitting tlie good qualities of either. They make good pork lings, Imt ure not a proper source from which to draw stock lings for breeding purposes. Tlie general use of Berkshire hours ill tlie State would probably increase the average weight, of butchered hogs thirty pounds. There are about ],- (Kin,imu lings butchered annually in Georgia. An Increase of thirty pounds per head would give an aggre gate increase of 39,900,000 pounds, worth ut 124 cents per pound. $3,750,- 000. A pbicei.es* tueascbe. aiarovrrr or a Mlolue I'rnillflf,-.

London Atlienteum.] Ill tlie second week of May, 1877, there was found in the Olympia tem ple of Zeus, not fur from the portrait statue of a Roman lady, a colossal luurble statue of a nude youth. Tlie lower portion of the legs and the right forearm ure wanting. With the left elbow lie leaned upon tlie stem of a tree, supporting on his arm a little boy. Of the latter figure, unfortu nately, onjy tlie lower part remains, ami tlie tiny hand Hint lie hud laid confidingly on the shoulder of his bearer. Over the tree stem on which the arm that supports the boy is rested fulls tile drapery on rich, deep ly cut and wonderfully worked folds, affording to the arm a soft resting place, und gracefully hiding the sup port of the tree stem, which in this position wus technically necessary. The body of the youth rests with uu easy negligence on the left leg, so tlnit the soft flush of the right hip shows, in manifold displace ments, the play of the muscles of the blooming, youthful form. The head is marked by the finest, most spirit ualized youthful beauty, and some what resembles the head we see on the Vatican Meleager or the Hermes of tile Belvidero. The body, too, re sembles those figures, only it is slen derer, softer, more vivacious. At tlie first glance we are struck by the care less execution of tlie liair, which, in the parts thut were usually unseen by the spectators, is only slightly indi cated. The back of tlie statue is also less thoroughly wrought. Now Puu- siinlus reports that among the gifts of recent date was a marble Hermes carrying tlie I my Dionysus, and that it was a work of Praxiteles. The sa vants who have charge of the excava tions have, therefore, and there is no doubt correctly, inferred that our statue is really the Hermes of Prax iteles, and that we now, for the first time, behold ail original work of that great artist—u work that is equal to the greatest treasures we possess of ancient art, and which must ever re main u corner-stone of our knowledge of the history of Greek sculpture.
