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.

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 plain to a woman?” ... —* ♦- — -- • 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 window and snuff them ns they are cooking In the kitchen next door, or watch one of tlie company in tho dining room, nibbling at the elbow of her late hired girl. Tlie custom seems to Is - an excellent one, particularly when it is applied to the hired girls. We have had girls wo would have loaned to a neighbor at any time, under a solemn promise that they should be butchered and boiled as quickly ns possible.

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.

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.— A'ew York News, iVot i < MX.
