lUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, Potash, So

and durable FERTILIZER ever offered to the

Of Peruvian Guano, and the durable fertiliZing

dance of Ammonia for any crop and all soils, and
in a perfectly fixed condition--not volatile, and
passing off with the first crop as with Peruvian
and other Ammoniacal GuanoS, but stimulating
the crop to which it is applied, and all succeeding
ones giving to poor, worn out and unproductlYe
soils new life and vigor.
1t furnishes to the soil Soluble Phosphate of
Lime, Bones dissolved in Sulphuric acid) III a
perfectly available form, ready food for the plant
at once; fact Of great importance to the Farmer;
as the immediate action and efficacy of all ma

PhOSphates Bones are alone used IN the manu-
fcture Of this article, avoiding altogether the use
of the called Phosphate GuanoS, consdera-
bic portion of whose Phosphates are of Iron and
Alumnica, which are utterly vaueless to the
Farmer
The EXCELSIOR also supplies to the soil, Pot
ash Soda, and MagpeSia, which are extracted
from it in the growth OF all plants; and must be
returned, or the soil will become impoverished
and exhausted, Notwithstanding the application Of
Guano and other Manures deficient in Alkalies.
This article has been tested for several years
past with Peruvian and other Guanos, and now
ranks with those who have used it, as afrst class

by all respectable dealers throughout the country
This fine brand Of CHAMPAGNE, which until the
past year was confined exclusively to the best Ia
bles Of the Continent Of Europe, has now obtained
the most unbounded success and popularity in this
country. 1t is recommended by some Of the first
Physicians Of the City Of New York over all other
wines, on account of its extreme purity and deli
cacy, and those who once try it rarely any
other brand. Although only one year has elapsed
since its introduction into this country, the de-
mand is enormous and constant increasing. Our
arrangements are such as to ensure the quality of
the Wine being maintained at present high stan
dard. The Prince Imperial is imported solely by
US, we being the sole Agents of Messrs. De Venoge

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED that the Commls

a box Of the best samples Of Maryland To-
hacco 10 be found in market, and send dep
utation to Washington to present the same
m the name OF the Maryland Tobacco grow
ers TO the Ambassadors of Japan, soon TO ar
rive there on special mission to this country.
1t is we'll known that the japanese are
much addicted to Tobacco smoking, and 1t
is stated in the California and other papers,
that they will bring with them their own
native Tobacco, and that all of them are sup
piled with pipes the manufacture of their
own country.
The Tobacco of Japan Isl short and chatty
staple, and contains nothing like the strength,
flavor, or substance Of the best descriptions
of Maryland Tobacco.
Such a step, taken at the proper time, and
in proper manner, may be OF service IN the
contemplated negotiations to take place in
reference to our trade with that country. 1t
may be the means of ultimately opening at
least some oil the ports OF Japan to the To-
bacco trade from this country.-IlanterS
