The French ministry tendered
t heir resignal ions at tlii- morn

Mahon ha.- accepted them. ’Hie
following art-the condition.- mi
which M. Diifaure has agreed to
attempt lo form a cabinet : I hat
the ministry shall liave entire iib
erty as to all oflicia! appoint
ments; that tin- mar.-lial agree
t* bill restricting tin- power to
declare a stall- of siege, and mod
Hying (lie press restrictions; and
that In- shall send a message to
the chamber guaranteeing it a
gainst capricious dissolutions.
llie marshal accepted these
conditions with much dillicuity,
at lirst declaring he would re
sign. He'till desires to have
the choice of ministers ol marine,
war and foreign affairs. M. Du
fame made no engagement on
lids point, and ii is considered
unacceptable. The ministry
will probably not be definitely
formed for t wo days.
Another dispatch to the limes
says that President MacMalion's
submission is dm- to the linn
course of tin- Orleanisl senators,
who resolved not to support a
second dissolution of the chain
ber of deputies. M. d’Awdifre!
Fasi|uier. president of the senate,
told President MacMahon on
Wednesday that In- would him
self leave the president's chair
and lake i In* tribune against
such a proposal.
F aims, Feb. 7. ll is believed
that the new ministry will in
elude M. Leon Sa,\ a- minister of
linance, M. tie Maieeie as minis
ter of Ihe interior, M. Fhrislople
as minister of public works, Al.
i eisserine Deliort as minister of
commerce, M. \\ addinglon as
minister of public instruction,
and M. de Burdoiix a- minister of
justice. M. la-on Sa,\ is designa
(<-d as tin- jirobable president of
the council, but other reports
stak- that At.'Diifaure will accept
the presidency without the port
folio.
11:45 a- .M..— Frosiden! Mac
Mahon has linallv conceded to
DufimtH- lull.liberty of action Lu
forming a cabinet. I’iie new
ministry willy'therefore, be ho
uoeogencous in charai'ter, and
will.it is expected, be cmistitu
ted to-morrow. i'his excludes
President MacMalion's resi-iva
lion that he might have choice of
the ministry ef war, marine and
foreign ollices.
M. Diifaure has la-l<l a consul
tation with delegates from the
left, it is rumored that ditlk-ul
ties t-xisi because President .Mac
Mahan persists in holding tin
portfolios of ihe foreign, war and
marine ministers aloof from the
intlm-nces of parliaiiieutar.v Hue
t nut ions.
The following semi official
note is published: --The presi
dent, having accepted the condi
l ions on which Al. Diifaure agreed
to form anew cabinet, lias, on
his part, asked as his sole condi
tion that the ministers of war,
marine and foreign affairs should
retain otlice. No difficulty ought,
it would seem, to liave arisen on
this point, as it has been admit
ted under all previous ministries
that these departments should in
the interest of the country and
army be placed beyond the
reach of parties.
-•At the last moment, however,
these port folios liave been claim
ed by the projected ministry,
the marshal lias not been aide to
agree to this modilicalion. which
appears to him adverse to the
good organization of the arinv
and tin- continuity of diplomatic
relations. Negotiations conse

in that section.

Air. Hinton, one of our most in
dustrious and energetic fanners,
; has. latteucd quite a number of
hogs by feeding to them green
corn, stalks and ear, together with
kitchen garbage and fruit. The
hog seems to thrive on a green
die*, which places him in good
condition to receive the solid fat
tening of a purely corn diet. The
above process commends itself jinr
i it- economy, enabling the farmer
ito utilize material which would
otherwise be of no value. We
need the general introduction of
economic method-in all depart
