AGRICULTURAL.
GuanO---Hts Great Merits as a
Fertilizer.

The vas: superiority ofguano over all other
manures is attributable TO the fact, that 1t is
wholly composed Of animal remains, concen-
trated by the evaporation Of most of its mois-
turc, at the same time that no portion OF its
substance has escaped in consequence OF
those ipsidious changes, known as fermenta-
ton, decomposition, &C., by which new pro-
ducts are formed ,nnd some ofrthe most nutri-
tive elements are evolved and pass of as gas
es, This condition, so different from what is
observed elsewhere, over nearly the whole
surface ofihe globe, is owing to the circum-
stance that these deposits are found in dry
warm climate, where rains are almost wholly
unknown. The moisture voided with the ex-
cremcnts OF the birds is soon evaporated in the
dry atmosphere, as we'll as that contained in
the refuse fish, (Which constitutes their exclu-
sive food,) their broken or added eggs, TO-
gether with their feathers and carcasses, thus
Withdrawing from these substances one of in
dispensablo requisites Of decomposition
There is gradual change, however, going
forward in these remains, by which the recent
animal features are broken up, their form and
texture slowly altered and reduced 10 fine
powder, and they at last, perhaps after ages
of rest, have assumed that brownish hue, and
homogeneous mass, known as Peruvian gu
ano.
Tho simple statement Of lis origin and sub
ronuant condition rlen rlv reveals the fiitI ucr.
it of guano, unapproachable in value by any
other manure. The analyses of average
specimens of Peruvian guano have been re-
peatedly made, and with nearly the same re-
suit. We subjoin one, as indicating, with lit.
tie variation, the character Of most of the GU
ano imported for American consumption
This average was taken from numerous an
alyses made by DR.. Anderson, Of Scstlund.-

The quantity Of amonia yielded by the a.
bove was II per cent. The proportion Of
phosphates is also very large, being nearly
one fourth ofthe entire quantity, which is &C.
counted for in the fact that these sea fowls
subsist solely on marine fish, which yield
large quantities ofthese valuable ingredients.
Won Martius estimated guano to be five
times as valuable as night soil; and four times
more so than pigeon dung; and Liebg con-
sidcrs the importation of one cut. Of guaa,o,
when properly applied as manure, as equiva-
lent to the importation Of eight cart. efacltcat.
The supercminent value of guano may be
fairly claimed, because it embraces every
element required by plants for their most rap
id development and growth, with the excep-
lion, perhaps, of potash, except such as a.
bound in every soil and atmosphere, and even
potash is probably aids in,liberating from the
soil, where it has been securely locked up

food for crops, while the organic elemcnts,c ear
bon, hydrogen, and oxygen, are prolusely
furnished by the dews and rains, and atmos-
phere. Nitrogen, the only organic element,
SO difficult of arrest and appropriation by
plants, while floating through the air, is abun-
dainty furnished by the various ammoniacal
compounds ofguano.
There is no doubt that much Of the effica-
cy of guano is owing to the large proportion
ofphosphates it contains, which are SO mi
nutely divided as to yield all their vegetable
food the instant it is demanded, to which de-
mand the rootlets are strongly, stimulated by
the presence of the ammoniacal salts with
which the phosphates are intimately blended.
PREPARATION OF Bones FOR MANURE
Whenever you can got the steam up in the
minds of the people high enough TO make
them think of the value of the bones they now
throw away, you may perhaps get them to
think little further about the mode of pre-
pairing them for manure.
To the one in ten thousand who have already
begun to think of the enormous waste of one
Of the best iertilisers in the world, this article
win be Of great value, because steaming bones
is a process that any farmer can carry on to
good advantage, at little cost-grinding them
can only be done in large Establishments
Cut the first process toward preparing bones
for manure, is like the direction of Mrs. Glass

| There are few readers of American poetry to
whom the sight of the above name will not re-
call the ringing melody of Poe's popular lines TO
her memory. The following article from the
Daily Free Democrat, of Milwaukee, was sug-
gested by the obituary notice prefixed to it, and
is an interesting commentary upon the poem
DrEp-On Monday evening, Feb "a, of infam-
nation of the brain, after an illness of 80 hours,
ANNABEL LEE, only daughter Of Mary ]. and T..
c. Leland, aged months and weeks
Connected with the above announcement, is a
piece of beautiful history This hnnabel Lee
Leland, was the daughter Of parents who had al
ways cherished the warmest affection for the
late gifted and unfortunate Edgar A. Poe Their
house had been refuge for him when all Others
were shut against him, and in the bitterest hours
of trial and suffering, he had found in them warm
and steady friends. Often had they taken him.
in state of inebriation, from the streets, in win
ter, when he must have perished from the cod
and provided him shelter, comfort, and sympathy.
So in their company was spent some of the
most calm and cheerful hours Of the latter part
of his life
This attachment between them was the re-
suit of sincere affection he had cherished for
the Mary Leland mentioned in the announce.
ment in her youth. He had known her when
she was but twelve years old, fair-haired, bright
eyed, light-hearted girl-and he was a romantic
inspired boy Of seventeen. But when he left
school, they were separated for many years he
heard she was dangerously sick, and afterwards
supposed she was dead But the bright dreams
inspired by her, remained with him, and he told
u.s. that her angel form often rose up before
him in his degradation and darkness and ruin.
II was like beam of light that gilded the gloom
| of his existence, and shed his rays through the
thick clouds that rolled about his head. In one
of those moments, when, frenzied by intoxiea-
ton, the lovelight of his early days appeared be-
fore him-he thought how it was untimely
quenched, and left him in the darkness alone,
frendless, helpless and hopeless, he seized and
wrote those wild sweet strains of "Annabel Lee
and "the cloud that came out by night
"Chilng and killing my Annabe Lee"
Shortly afterward, chance threw him in the
way Of her he had supposed to be dead. She
was the wife of T. G. Leland, mentioned above.
But she cherished sympathy for the miserable
child Of genius; her husband befriended, and
afterwards loved him for his talents, his warm
heart, and the dazzling attractions of his conver-
snton. The only child, born shortly before his
DEATH of these friends of the poet, out Of tender
respect and admiration of him, WAS named after
| the verses referred to. And here VIC see that
this child IL dead The cold sod too, is above
the form of him whose life was clouded by suf-
Lightly may IL rest on his bosom, is the prayer
Of those who loved him, md lasting will be their
remembrance of the proud and gifted one.

by which the coast lights Of Great Britain are
maintained. That the tax is paid to private in
tsrest does not diminish its pressure upon the
shipping Of the United States. The Federal gov
srnment does not found It's request either upon
the treaty of 1915, or the present navigation laws
ofthe United Kingdom, but, says Mr.. Lawrence:
'Solely on the fact that the commerce of Great
Britain enjoys, without charge, the lights, bea-
cons, and Duoys, maintained by the United States,
on a coast several thousand miles in extent, while
the commerce OF the United States is heavily taxed
for the support Of similar lights, beacons and
buoys in the United Kingdom. In view Of this
fact, it asks her Majesty's government to meet
the liberality of the United States with recipro-
cal iberality. And, an additional reason for
granting the request, it points to the present com
mercia policy of the two nations, founded pro-
fssssdy on the principle of reciprociiy and II in
vites her Majestys government to extend the
principle still further, and treat the commerce of
the United States literally the United States
treats the commerce of the United Kingdom"
Viscount Pamerston acknowledges the recep-
ton of this communication, in brlefnote, on the
l4th Of February, and says that the request has
been referred to the proper department Of her Ma
iesty's government.

THE SILVER MINES OF CoprAPo-Much has
been said and written lately on the probability
of the depreciation In the value Of gold, in con-
sequence Of the immense quantities discovered
in, and remtted from California. We observed
some time ago that the English government has
taken the alarm, and that the directors of the
Bank of England had met 20 take the subject
into consideration. We do not pretend to be
perfectly au tan in matters of finance, and are
consequently rather puzzled to distinguish be-
twixt two parties; one excIaiming thai this ex-
cessive influx of gold will lower its value, and
the other contending that its effect will be neu-
tralized by the higher price which will, in CON-
sequence, be obtained for merchandise and labor.
One thing seems certain, that the proportionate
value of gold and silver will not undergo much
alteration, for whatever quantity Of the former
may be produced in California, Chill bids fair to
export an equivalent in the latter. We extract
n few observations from an article in the Copia-
pno referring to the statistical affairs of Copiapo,
which may be not unacceptable to such Of our
renders as are interested in the dongs of that
province.
In the mining district of Tres Puntas, "a mines
were being worked at the commencement of the
past year, giving employment to 5sl persons.
The quantity of ores extracted was, in January,
554 cargas (mule loads of II arrobas) In De-
cember, the number of mines in work were So,
several having been abandoned, but these were
nffording employment to 629 men, and produced
9S5 cargas Of ores. In Chanarcillo, the most
important mineral the year opened with rs
mines, employing 1904 men, and produced in
the first month 5,393 quintals of ores The re-
turns 70, the last month give Il5 mines in work,
1887 men, and product Of $3.50 quintals-
The district of San Antonio is the only one
which shows falling of. having produced 737
quntals at the beginning Of the ycnr, and only
40S at its close.
The article from which we quote gives us
further statement of the number Of mines In that
province; they are in all 5ll,578, Of which 400
are silver mines; az produce copper 10 gold.
cobalt, quicksil er; and 5 are coal mines. This
statement affords fair idea Of the proportion in
which these metals are to be fonnd in this pro.
vince, so far as it has already been explored
We have also an abstract Of imports and ex-
ports. The amount imported of produce of tho
country is quoted as S537, ,708; and OF foreign
products, 36,244 packages, value not mentioned.
The exports appear to have been as follows;-
3S7,0l9 mares Of bar silver mares of gold
35,225 quintals bar copper; 25,sIs quintals
copper ores; 5,299 quintals silver ores
The above items are quoted as shipments. tl,a
produce OF this district, withopt reference Ia
large quantities of various metals hich have
been shipped from Copiapo in transit.

young, established the first Democratic paper at
Concord, N H., which becoming the capital of
the State, he through his rare industry and tact,
gradually acquired an unrivallcd inhuenc EN- his
State, which previously Of adverse or doubtful
bias) he fastened firmly to The car of his party,
and thus became the Warwick Of the State.
But in 1924, he took ground ardcnty for the eau
cus candidate for President, William II. Craw-
ford, but could carry no considerable party with
him--the great mass of both parties uniting in
the support Of John Quincy Adams. Mr..
Adams was chosen, and "The Patriot" became
the leading opposition journal in New England,
but did not succeed in carrying New Hamp-
shire for Jackson in 1928. Next spring, how

LONGITUDE OF SAvANNAH.--The telegraphlc
wires between Charleston and Savannah have
recently been employed by the officers on the
coast survey, in ascertaining the difference of
longitude Of the two cities. They have erected
a temporary observatory at The latter place, to
which is attached clock, with Professor Locke's
apparatus for breaking the circuit of the electric
fluid. The circuit is broken at each beat of the
pendulum, which enables the observers at
Charleston to hear the strokes of the seconds
as distinctly as though they were by the side of
the clock in Savannah. These beats are recorded
by register similar to that used in teegrapbing.
The transits Of the stars as they pass the me-
ridian of Charleston, are noted on the register
by another break in the electric circuit, which is
made at The option of the observer, by pressing
on key fixed TO the transit instrument. Ac-
cordingly, the paper which registers the passage
of time by having second marks stamped on il
by the clock, gives also evidence of the precise
moment of stars transit. The passage of the
same star over the meridian, is then noted by
the observers at Savannah. The difference in
time is the longitude between the two places.
The wave e rate at which the electric current
sweeps along the wires, has been ascertained by
Professor Walker, Of the coast survey, to be
$4,000 feet to the second of time.
