LARGE SALE OF RAILROAD BoNDs.-Thc
first important sale of American Railroad
bonds made abroad for some months has
been effected in Paris. The agent of the
Nashville and Louisville Railroad has negoti,-
ted witha Paris banking house for the sale of
the six per cent. bonds of that company to the
amount of $2,75o,0OO, So tho Augusta Con-
stitutionalist learns from reports brought by
the steamship Asia. Hitherto, for many
months, the stringcncy Of the European
money markets has caused all applications
for aid to American railways to be returned
unsuccessful. The negotiation above men,
toned is nothing but an indication Of a grow
ing disposition among European capitalists,
whom prospect of n general war has made
distrustful Of European securities, TO seek in
,.o,,u,cn4s orr tins side of She Atlanti 80
/ Should this great conflict actually take place
it seems by no means improbable that large
amount of money will find its way to this
country, to be laid out in American State and
Railroad Stocks.
In letter addressed to the London Daily
News by n writer who styles himself an
American Diplomatist, it is int'nated that
the presence of the cruisers of the United
| States in the waters of the Euxine will show
before very long that it is not considrcd, AT
least in America, rs either mare clauSum OF

Gle In Great Britain, 23S0,O0O tons; Uni
ted States, 100000; France, $4,000; Russia,
$4,000; Austria, lGOSOO; Sweden, l32, 300;
Prussia, IL 900; making Il total Of 3,723,3OO
tons of iron manufactured annually. In 1850
there were $50 iron furnaces in Great Britain,
and of the $3.50 900 tons which these pro.
duccd, about 100000 were exported. In 1876
but l25,COO tons were manufactured in Great
Britain, and the total exports were about

MELANCHOLY SUIclDE.--Georgc Ayrhart,
tailor by trade, committed suicide in the
Philadelphia county prison, on Saturday
night, under distressing circumstances. 1t
appears, says letter in the Baltimore Sun,
that on Friday morning, during the snow
storm, he was disposscssed of his house by
q writ issued against him, and his wife, (who
is blind) his son and daughter, and nephew
and niece, turned into the street with their
furniture, and himself arrested and sent to
prison to answer for assaulting the officer.
The ownership Of the house, it is said, was
in dispute, and Il lawyer had advised him not
to pay the rent to either party, whercupon
the writ was sued out and he was disposses-
sed. The distressed condition of his family
and the modification of being in Jail, it is
supposed, induced him to hang in his
cell.

BURNING STUBBLE DON'T INJURE CLOVER
The experiment of burning the stubbIe
for the purpose Of getting clear Of the Joint
worm. was made last year by gentleman
residing near Orange Springs, and the
present crop fully attests the value and
success Ofthe experiment.
In the wheat crop of 1852, the Joint
Worm made serious inroads. and selfpre-
ServatiOn demanded resort to some OF
che remedies suggested. There was a
good set Of clover on the land, and it was
generally feared that burning the stubble
would injure the clover beyond repara-
lion.
In March. 1853. this gentleman deter r
mined to burn the stubble of the previous
year. and accordingly fired it. and. strange
to say, his experience was no injury 10
the clover. This settles an important
consideration. and will. doubtless, induce
many others to follow his example.
EARLY in the fall in 1853 the Ground was
ploughed. and in August he Seeded his
crop. Up to late advices. the crop has As
pretty An appearance as could be desired.
and is free from the great plague that per.
Vades the country-the Joint Worm.
