Dear, Sir :. Rhodes Super Phosphate has been
applied BY ME this year, on small scale, to boti,
Corn and Cotton, The result excecdep my ex-
pectation. although the experiments. for naay
reasons, were not and could not be conducted
with due caution yet am entirely satisfied,
thst the growth of weed, in both instances. the
fruit in corn, and the number Of bolls of cotton,
were fully double the yield in the portions un-
manured, and this when only tablespoonful:
of the Super Phosphute was applied top,
dressing to each hill of corn and a tea spoonful
TO each stalk of cotton-nnd the last as late in
the season as the 18th Of July. Some of the
weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet
branches, covered with bolls, while the unma-
nured was not half so good. It is my intention
next year. to test it more fully.
Very Respectfully
Your most ob't aerv't,

Senator Gill on Banking.

Pending the resolution in the Legislature
last week to amend the Banking law SO as
to provide more openings for swindling,
Senator Gill said
The whole system was rotten and a fraud.
re spoke at considerable length and with
great force, reviewing the present condition
Of the currency Of the State and the action
of Bankers and Bankers Conventions
He said many of the Banks thrown out
were better secured than some published to
The world as good until next Deeembei.-
Since the last Bankers Convention the
President of the Waukesla County Bank
has placed his property ont Of bis hands
and is in shape to have his bank 90 up,
and Others are following suit, and he pre-
dicted that long before December the
Bankers would again meet, and notwilh-
standing their published list, another batch
will be thrown out, but this will not occur
until the Banks are notified by private cir
cular to get rid Of certain currency before
a given day, and then the announcement is
made that the Milwaukee Banks have
thrown them out. BY tbs time the peo-
pie will hold the rags and can get for item
40 or 90 cents on the dollar. The reports
we hear that bankers had on hand large
sums Of certain banks when they were dis
credited is all nonsense. 1t is not a part
Of the game. They all know wh3n bank
is to be dscredited and have more than
sufficient time to SOFT the bills and set nd
Of them, and you can feel assured that
they do it. 1t IS a system Of downright
robbery on the business men and working
men of the State The whole system is
rotten, and amending it to make it better is
a humbug. He reviewed many more and
enlarged on them, and closed by saying he
had not said tenth q what might be SAID
on the subject.

Baby Lost.

The other afternoon lady of the Scv-
enth Ward was making few calls, accom-
panied by her infant, which she drew af-
ter her III chiId's carriage. Arriving at
a house on Jefferson Street, which was ele-
waited above the walk and approached by
flight Of steps, she found it more conyen-
lent 10 leave the child in the carriage at
the gate while she looked IN moment
..iust a lnomeIt'---to see the lady Of the
house"
She did not remain but an instant-or
what TO lady engaged III conversation
would seem Lut an inatant--when, on her
return to the street, lo her baby was mis-
sing, wagon and all. She looked UP and
down the walk in vain, and turned back to
the house and gave the alarm. The moth
er ran one way, and the lady Of the house
the other They looked around the GER
ners Of the street, and the corners beyond,
and made cutlery; and still nothing could
be seen or heard Of the child. 1t occurred
to the mother that some friend might have
seen the carriage and child and recognized
it, and taken it home for her, either by way
of joke, or 10 do her favor and she rush
ed to her own house, some half dozen squares
distant. MOI The child was not there
no one bad heard fit.
1t is easy to imagine The emotions that
began to thrill that mothers heart, as she
turned again and made her way back with
GREATNESS has e to where she had last seen
her infant. Her child was gone-stolen
~ hat could il mean? lnsuch moments
Of anguish and suspenseywith what light
ming rapidty does the tortured magma
ton conjure up its fearful pictures. She
saw her infant in the hands OF strangers,
and traced their stealthy steps through Oh
scure alleys, where they thought to eyade
search She heard its suppressed cries, as
rough hand stifled its little shrieks; and
even ran along, in her atfrighted fancy, TO
the time when her child appeared before her
in the gaIb Of poverty, and with Inca
ments Of vice lighted up by a gipsey camp
| fire.
But all this time she ran along, gather
ing little crowd Of sympathizing friends,
i dIlIOu0 NilOiu was q l'DilSCltieth WIZ hsAtt
pressed into service. When they returned
10 Jefferson street, they discovered the lit
tie baby-wagon approaching, drawn by a
small girl Of some six or seven years, and
JOY joy. tie baby was in it, safe and very
comfortable indeed.
1t appeared upon inquiry that the little
gill had found the carriage with the infant
alone, while passing the house, and elated
with the idea that she had .fouada rell ba-
by at last, took the carriage and trundleol
it home as noiselessly and speedily as pos
sible. She exhibited her prize TO her moth
er with every demonstration Of pride.
She had fonnd a baby; it was hers because
she had tounda, and the wagon too She
had long wished for a real baby; here it
was at last Her mother comprehendel
the case at once, and started her back I'M
der the care Of larger child, and it was
thrs restored to the arms Of its now happy
parent. Mlwadkee Free Dena

Dear Coz.-This horrid war that ey-
erybody is talking about has interfered So
with society that have scarcely anything
to tell you. Absolutely so many Of the
beaux have volunteered that we can't have
any German. There's one OF the conse-
ouences al civil war that Pm sure never
could have been contemplated. | think If
it were known, peace would be immediate
" proclaimed. You haven't any idea Of
our sufferings here The girls have to talk
to old beaux who were rejected by our
grandmothers; we have to spend all our
zine at lint and bandage parties, and our
fingers are sore with scraping old napkins.
But it's all the rage. They say compa-
ny Of Florence Nightingale is to be form
ed; each lady to carry lamp; but don't
see any use in that, unless it is like Diog-
enes to look for a man. Oh the desola-
ton Of the ball rooms! But suppose |
shouldn't tell the enemy Of ourdepriyatons.
/ haven't had a new bonnet since Easter !;
Pa says all his Southern stock is good for
nothing, and he must he economical. Luz
ey Loyem is engaged; her intended piopos-
81 himself the day before his regiment sail
ed, and of course she couldn't refuse at such
a time. I'm sure | should have accepted
the whole company. At any rate | wish
they'd have proposed. Ever SO many
marriages have been hurried up by the
wars; my Cousin, Matilda McFinsey, was
one Of the brides, and wore star spangles
all over her veil.
The worst Of it all is, we cannot get our
Strawberries or peas from Savannah. What
is to be done? Ma gives dinner next
week, and the idea Of no green peas, and
absolutely no Strawberries for desert !
Don't you think you could smuggle sonle to
us. ltwoud'nt be giving aid and comfort
10 the enemy, would it? Surely food is
not ccntraImnd of war, and really without
our Southern Vegetables and fruits, the
dinner would be failure Oh dear, oh
dear, no German, and no green peas
What dreadful thing war is.
Yours. my love, confdingly,
FLoRINpA M.
