Kiiinoi'cii Ketfremeiil f <wi‘nil
,si reel.
It was repoßtod upon very good au
thority yesterelay evening, that Gov.
Kellogg had isHiied a fresh Commis
sion as Major General of the Louisi
ana .State militia to Hugh J. Camp
bell. Mr. Campbell, it will be re
membered, held a commission as
Major General under Gov, Wurmoth,
and by a reference to the last report,
of the Adjutant General under the
Kellogg regime, it will be seen that
Ills name has never been strlken
from tho roll.
Although Mr. Campbell was
among those (donators of the Leginla
turo who left, Mechanics’ Institute
and went over to Odd Fellows’ Hull,
where he remained until the Legisla
ture, there sitting,, ceased to art, it
has been known, for some time bark,
that, he was again affiliating with tlu-
KeUoggfllrtion.
Tin - mlnoriheoiiicnt, therefore, that
he hint been re-commissioned as a
Major General would not have been
specially significant in itself, wore it
not that it is also stated that he has j
been appointed to supreme com
mand.
Whether Gen. Longslreot has re
signed or not, has not transpired, but
the probabilities are that, he would
scarcely consent to bo outranked by
Gen, Campbell, aud that if his res
ignation had not boon tendered al
ready, it will be at an early date.
Gea. Longstreet, for some weeks, I
we learn, has been suffering very
much from 11 violent attack of rlicu- i
matism, and Is still an Invalid, -we j
believe. ’’His 111 health may, there
fore, account for his rumored re
tirement from active service. It is
said, also, that there has been a eool
ngas oxistiug between him and Kel
logg since the tight Of the Mfh of!
September, growing out of tlie orders I
given upon that day concerning tho
fight.
General Longstreet, we have heard
it said, contends that Kellogg was
responsible for the advance and rout
of tho metropolitans on that day,
whije Kellogg resents the charge and
asserts that Longstreet was the bun
gler. And this sqsable probably has
led to the present change of the iti i 11-
tia’s front
LhJTHAOE IN DeLAWAIIK. The Koa
ford(Dol.) Citizen says that one night
recently, three masked men boarded
the sloop Helen James, Captain
Longacre, lying in the Nariticoke,
bound him hand and foot, and then
tied him to a plank and throw; nini
‘ overboard, after Which they robbed ;
the boat of $l5O in money, u watch, u j
gun and a suit of clothes, and left for.
parts unknown. After floating around
several hours, tljo Captain.wasjiiukod

knows who the iierpetrotors of this
outrage are.
KqulllM.
When I got home last night, said
Sqnlllh, the old lady was up waiting
l’or me. 1 knew there something
was in soak. There always is when
she sits propped up in bed reading,
and 1 knew it.
I wasn’t feeling pretty good, said
Squills, for I hud been white-washed
In tho convention, sold out body,
boots and breeches, and I felt like a
board-yard lie-cat, with his back
hair curled tho wrong side up.
“Have you got tlie nomination,
Squills, dear ? ”
1 knew she had soon the evening
paper, but I said “No love,” as mild
ly as if conventions and all such
snares were beneath my notice.
"Not got the nomination, ,ur.
(Squills V ” h
“No Mrs. Squills, not that the
court Is aware of at this present
writing. Certainly not.”
“Then what do you expect to get
for that whiskey you’ve been pour
ing down these follows’ throats?
“What fellows’ throats’?”
“Your friends who havo been
trampling in. and out of my house,
M r. Squills, and borrowing your poor
children’s money, and running you in
all kinds of disreputable places to
hunt up votes, aud sneaking you off
into the country to barbecues and oth
er Infamous resorts, paying for bug
gies and making ridiculous remarks
which 1 know you paid the reporters
to work up Into a speech. A nice
tiling you have done for yourself
and me and the poor children, and
then, after all, not to get anything
for your pains. I’m ashamed of you,
Mr. Squills; I would blush for you,
but 1 can't, and what’s more 1 won’t.
Don’t toll mo Squills, that you don’t
want mo to blush for you, and you
sitting there just us inad as a hatful
of hornets. After telling me, too,
and the dear child, that silo .should
have anew silk dress when you got
tho nomination. A nice nomination
you’ve got, and those fellows who
took your money and whiskey, just
laughing at yon, amt thinking what
a fool you are for believing them.
That’s what hurts me in the ten der
est point, Squills.”
1 put out the light, and tumbled in
to bed and prepared to go to sleep,
but Mrs. Squills still kept at it with
a forty-Squllls power.
After a time exhausted nature gave
wav and she was silent.
Then I felt a certaijj rigglingof tho
bed, and I turned round and said ;
“Mrs. Squills is that you? What
in the world are you doing that for?
If you want to laugh, laugh, and
don’t shake as if you had the buck
ague.”
Oh, what a politician you are,
Squills!" said she. “Two weeks can
vassing, and then to he skunked by
a tadpole!”
“To keep pence tu the family,”
said Squills! “I had to promise tliat I
dress, or something else, and for the j
tadpole business, what can you ex

• interesting to Borrowers.
Housekeepers will be surprised to
learn t hat their custom of sending in
ton neighbor to borrow a little butter
or sugar or other artlelo of diet, is
quite common with the savages of
Fiji. When a lady has friends to die
nor unexpectedly, she goes to tlie wo
man across the way, and says, "Yak
yak and his family have just dropped
in to dine, and ( haven’t a thing in
the house. How do you think your
hired girl would work up into a stew?
Can 1 borrow her for a few days?”
Then she seizes the domestic by the
hair, and drags her over, chops her
ii]i with parsley and carrots, and
celery tops, and cloves, and lets her
swim over the lire. Or may bo the
other woman sends over and says,
“I’m entirely out of meat ; can’t, you
lend me your little William Henry
for hash,' or your Mary Jane for a
pie?” and over goes W illiam Honrv
amt Mury Jam - , and they are stuck
with a fork, und busted, and put on
to cook gently; and the debt is paid
off the next ivoek by the borrower
sending back her aunt, already
boiled and suitable for cutting down
old for leu.orouoof her twins corned
so as to make a nice lunch. Home
times a woman in tliis manner will
work off a couple of her brother in
laws, ora rich undo, orplumpaecond
cousin; and then slio will sit at her

He war Absent Minded.- Says tho
Cincinnati Enquirin':
A young man in the town who parts
Ilia hair in the centre is said to have
made a slight mistake at the opera
last, night. In order to obtain a
clearer perception of a high note, he
reached in his coattail pocket and
j brought forth what he thought was
an opera glass, but, what indeed
j proved to be a revised compilation of
a Derringer. People In his immedi
ate vicinity were surprised and some
what frightened to see him elevate the
ordinance to his eyes and steadily gaze
down into its dark cavern of death*
It was upon first Impression, thought
to be a cool, deliberately planed
suicide, but when he quietly put it
back into his pocket and brought
tho real article into requisition, tho
horror melted from before their eyes,
and It became apparent, that it was
only a mistake after all. A few hairs
whose beats lay on tho larboard side
of tlicyoung man’s skull hud by some
means gotten on the starboard side.
Hence tlie slight aberatioti of mind.

An injunction against a New Ha

j rendered valueless by his strange

i tipi court at Hartford, It took four

lie said lie, had a warning that the
| train would be wrecked, and when he
i reached the court he declared that it
had been w recked and he had been
killed, his spirit only being present
before the judge. Being usked why
ho had not obeyed the summons be
fore, he said he had been advised not

judge told him tliat no cant, was

“that’s wliat Festus said to l’uul,”
find as nothing more could be got out
of him, he was supposed to lie crazy
and was discharged; und is still at
work oil his rubber plates.

Shakespeare's Othello has been
translated into Hebrew by J. E. 8.,

The London Spectator has a three
column “first notice” of "Mr. Nord
liolT'h Books of Travel” devoted to
his ‘California’ in praise of which it
seems hardly aide to .sty- enough to
satisfy the enthusiasm Mr. Nordhoff
has created in its critical breast,
“The book reads like a fairy tale and
seizes upon the imagination with the
force of one,” though full of plain
statements which though addressed
to Americans, will be equally valua
ble to Europeans who are lucky
enough to profit by them. “His
book,” continues the writer, “is alto
gether so attractive that it Is diffi
cult to select portions for such curso
ry and restricted notice as ours.
An elaborate prospectus of the ninth
edition of the Encyclopedia Britan
lca has just been issued by the pub
lishers. It was announced some time
ago that this edition would be edited
by Mr. T. S. Barnes, Professor of
Logie, Rhetoric, and Metaphysics in
the University of St, Andrews. Mr.
Barnes was well enough known to
inspire absolute confidence in his su
, perior fitness for so great a task as
! ! Ills, but it may be presumed that his
real abilities were better understood
in Scotland than elsewhere. At iril
events, it is now plain that he has
distinct views of what he wants to do,
and lie has surroudned himself with a
strong corps or contributors. The
ninth edition is not to be merely an
alteration and adaptation of the
eighth, but a reconstruction. It will,
like tho eighth, fill twenty-one quar
to volumes of suo to 900 pages each.
The type of the specimen sheets is
very clear and illustrations of vari
ous character abound. Three volumes
a year arc to be issued beginning Jan
uary, 1875, at thirty shillings each
($7.50).
(iiißN Meal fob Swine.—A farmer
in Pennsylvania says that lie had fed
live hogs 297 pounds of cob and corn
meal made into mush by boiling, and
he gut 87 pounds of live weight. A
month after, they consumed 375 j
pounds of meal and gained 75 pounds
in weight:. Here is a case where it
looks as though it paid to raiso pork.
In the first instance he fed a fraction
short of 4 bushels of born, reckoning
79 pounds to the bushel. For this he
got in live pork, for each bushel fed,
21 pounds. In the second instance,
lie fed 51 bushels and got 75 pounds
live pork, orl4 pounds tor each bush
el of corn -a wide difference from the
first experiment. The result Is very
similar to one of Lewis’ trials. The
ground cob, no doubt, added very
much lu digesting tho meal. Mr.
Lewis, after feeding his pigs on clear
corn meal as much as they would eat
for nearly eight weeks, found swell
ings in the sides of their nock, Indi
cating a lack of something in the
diet. Wishing still to continue tho
experiment with tho clear meal, ho
concluded to try a medicine. Ho
took two pounds of finely-sifted coal
ashes, four pounds of common salt,
aud one pound of superphosphate of
lime, mixed them together, and
placed the mixture in a pan conven
ient for the pigs to get. They soon
ate the mixture, and with evident
relish, Tho bunches on the neck
disappeared, and their breathing im
proved, which had been affected. In
looking these experiments all over
carefully, it will appear that mixed
feed is the best to feed pigs. Either
feed cob and corn meal, or corn and
meal and shorts, at Ihe rate of ono
bushel of shorts to flireo of meal.—
