New Grenada Knocking at the Door

The Attorney General Of New Gran
ada, in submitting the new federal con-
stitution to the Congress of that repub-
lie, for its action, accompanied it by a
report advocating the Incorporation OF
New Granda into the great Ameaican
Union, under the same conditions as the
States already constituting our confed-
eracy, as a remedy for the difficulties
under which the country now labors.-
lie argues the case, too, quite ably, urg-
ing that annexation to the Union Will
secure external protection for New Ora
NADIA, foster internal prosperity, and
place it generally, in the same condi-
ton as New York, Pennsylvania and

taken by Congress in reference to Kan
sas. Notwithstanding the supposed de-
mise of Lccompton, from the action OF
the House in refusing TO reccde from the
Montgomery amendment, it appears
yet 70 possess some vitality and Is like
" 70 resuscitate into life. Some Of the
an,i.Leccmpton papers throughout the
country have been inclined to look upon
the course persued by Hall, English,
Pendleton and Jones, in voting for n
Committee of Conference, as no indiea-
tion of concession on their part, but
simply as an net Of courtesy toward the
Senate. II occurs 10 US that the indi.
cation was plain from the first, that
there was some trickery in tho move on
the part Of these gentlemen. aud the
latest news from Washington as to the
proposition Of Mr.. English, more fully
confirms this idea.
Tho proposition Of English, is nc
doubt materially different from the

A Strange Delusion,

relntes tho following singular instance
of delusion in regard to religious duty:
II becomes our sad Office 10 record
one of the most sad incidents which has
ever came under our observasion. Mr..
Aaron Stewart, late citizen of Boon
County, but for some five months citi-
zen Of our town, has been in state of
depression of spirits for about two
months past. Religious excitement
seems 10 have overpowered his reason,
and, on Monday night, after tho return
Of himself and WHO from church, he
conceived the idea that tho Scripture
required him to sacrifice his right hand
and other members Of his body, under
penalty Of eternal punishment He at
once left the house withou. making
known his object, and first perpetrating
dangerous wounds upon his person with
a knife, he next proceeded with an axe
to cut off his right hand After strik-
ing five several blows, ranging from the
centre ofthe hand to some inches above
the wrist joint, and serving the hand
from the arm except some of the tend.
ons, hc walked 10 the door, fell into IL
and tainted. Dr. Rice was called in,
who dressed his wounds; and at the
present writing be is yet live, though
his wounds are dangerous.

How il came AboutI

ACCOUNTS of tho destruction Of Mrs.
Swishelm's paper, at st. Cloud, Mime
sofa, have been published in most Of
the papers in the country, and the act
was attributed TO certain Democrats at
TIE location Of the occurrence. But,
from card written to the ST. Paul Dem
ocrat, by ]. C. SnEpLEY, it appears that
tho circumstances were these: Shepley
delivered 4 lecture in st. Cloud, upon
"Women," and took occasion to speak
contemptuously Of "strong-minded wo-
men," 10 which class Mrs. Swishelm
profcsscd 10 belong Therefore in the
next issue of her paper she resented the
remark "publishinga most Infamous at
tack" as Nr. Sheplcy claims, upon his
wife. Having reason, as he says, 60
expect moro of the same sort, he de-
stroycd the type toprevent it, expect
ing to pay Mr. Brott, the proprietor, on
his return home. Mr. S. takes the en-
tire responsibility, and if there is any
blame in the matter, desires to assume
it. There Is probably, good deal of
blame IN the matter and il will require
pretty broad shoulders to sustain it.

The folloyfhg account Of tho early
DAYS of Col. Benton, is from the new
American Encyclopedia, vol. ILL.,, to
BIO publishcd'in June next:
Thomas Hart Benton, was born near
Marlborough, Orange county, Nortll
Carolina, March Il, 1882. His father
died when he was eight years old; his
education was imperfect; he was for
some time at a grammar school, and
Afterwards at Chapel Hill, tho URver-
sity of North Carolina, but finished no
course Of study there, as his mother re
moved to Tennessee TO settle on tract
of land belonging to bis fathers estate
Thomas studied law, and soon roso TO
emincnce in that profession He was
now elected 10 tho Legislature, serving
only a single term, during which he
procured the passage Of law reform
ing the judicial system, and. OF another
giving to slaves the benefit OF trial by
Jury, the same as white mon. Ono Of
bis earliest friends and patrons was An
drew Jackson, atthat time aJudge OF
the Supreme Court, and subsequently,
Major General of the State militia
Benton became bis aid-de-eamp, and
during the war also raised regiment
of volunteers. IL was from that service
he derived the title Of Colonel, which
has chung to him through life. Not
withstanding tho close intimacy be.
tween jackson and himself, which was
one Of the most cordial and unreseryed
character, o rude and sudden rupture
took place in which several pistol and
dagger wounds were given, and prodqc-
cd rencountcr that cstranged them
for many years. a
After the volunteers were disbanded,
Mr.. Madison appointed Col, Benton, IN
1912, q observation-disclosures in tho army,
but on his way to serve in Canada IN
1914, he heard the news Of tho peace
and resigned. He D ow removed to
Missouri and took up his abode in the
city OF st. Louis, in 1915. There he
devoted himself anew to his profession.
Soon, however, engaging in the politics
of the day, he was led TO the establish
ment Of a newspaper called the Nilsson
ri Argus. In this position nc was In
voIved in many disputes and conten.
tons. Duels were usual at that time,
and he had his share OF them, with
their unhappy consequences. In one
of them, which was forced upon him,
he killed his opponent, Mr.. Lncus-an
event no deeply regretted. and all the
private papers relating to which he
has destroyed. His journal took q
strong and vigorous stand in favor Of
the admission Of Missouri, notwithstand-
| ing her Slavery Constitution, and when
the angry controversy was terminated
he was rewarded for his labors by be.
ing chosen one OF the first Senators
from the new State.

Ihe Ion alto, NLycoperslcum escuientum.)
MR. EDIroR:--The value Of this eseu-
lent Is beyond the reach Of calculation,
thatis metaphorically speaking, for the
uses attributed to its quality whether
medical, csculent, preserve, or other
attributes the plant is said to possess
z. lycopersicum esculntum, or love
apple, Us formerly called in England, is
n native ofSouth America, was first cul-
tiyated in Europe in 1896, more for or.
namental purposes than forits intrinsic
value. This probably may be accoun-
ted for by requiring more congcnial
climate to perfect the fruit. The botan-
icalname was given byTournefort, from
iykas, wolf, and persieqa, peach, in
allusion To- its aphrodisacial qualities.
Botanists and Empires advanced the
opinion that the fruit possessed medicn-
alqualities, which is not the case. II must
be fresh in the minds of many that DIR.
Miles. the celebrated pill man, conceiv-
ed tho idea Of building a fortune on his
representation Of the anti-bilious at
sribuses of the fruit, which proved y
49, AS an csculcnt in summer, IL
must be conceded that IL does possess a
cool and refreshing quality, 1t is enjoyed
with zest at that season by persons ex-
travs5aptiy fund Of them, and when put
up-in cans and Theoretically sealed, can
be enjoyed in mid-wintcr rs we'll. The
original fruit is what is now called the
Cherry Tomato, high culture has
brought them to the perfection at
tanned, on the contrary in poor soil they
will soon degenerate to diminutivc
size.
The Tomato is Of easy culture, aud
for early fruit should be started in
hot-bed, in March, and transplanted
into the open ground in May. Toman'
age the vino properly frame should
be made 10 keep them from the ground
out of the reach of ehickcns. We have
raised extremely fine fruit by trimming
off all carly latcrals, and fastening the
main stalk TO q stake five or six feet
high, with cross pieces attached, thin
ming out the fruit. Attention must be
paid to it, as the growth isobstinatc and
difficult to comply to your wishes
During summer the plants require daily
examination or the foliage will DC injur'
ed by large caterpillar that will in.
fest tho plant.
There are several varieties, which, nc
doubt are sprouts from the original
The large r. lycopersicum is the one SC
extensively cultivated for the markets
The leaves are deeply divided, rough
hairs, producing the fruit on punches
curiously lobcd OF coral red when ripe
the irregularity Of form is caused by
the proximity of tho blossoms. What
is called the small red IS, wncn green,
better for pickles The Pear shape
whss ripe is'ofvn dried in sugar and
preserved as a swcatmeat, being like Q
&c. and often called BY that namc
when green we consider them The
best for pickles of any variety. There
is the yellow variety, or amber color
possessing no merit only for novelty O
color. When We weigh and consider
tho merit of the whole Tomato family
il must be conceded that the first nam
ed-is the only variety worthy Of cult
walton, growth and treatment of all are
identical, and should be planted in ricl
soil. HoRrIcULruRALIsr.
