1t is said that the application of half a
peck of salt in the Spring, around plum
tree, will be found very efcacious in pro.
noting its growth and frutfuness, and also
in protecting it from disease. Salt is an.
essential ingredient in all composted manures,
intended for fruit trees, and is highly pro-

General Sterling Price of Missouri whose
death has been recently reported. was a ma
tive of Prince Edwards county. Virginia.
whence he early removed to Missouri. in
which state he gained considerable cuincuce
as lawyer and politician. His debut as a
national man occurred about 1915. when he
was elected to represent the state Of his
adoption in the Congress of tho United
States He abandoned the political for the
military life when the war with Mexico broke
out, by organizing a regiment of cavalry.
with which he marched to Sante Fee in
January, 1917 he distinguished himself by
/ his prompt suppression Of the New Mexico
insurrcction, which ended in the demolition
of the insurgent army and the hanging Of
their leaders. For this he was promoted te
a brigadier- general Of United States volun
teers. In March, 1913, he fought the bat.
! tie of Rosales against a superior force oi
Mexicans, which resulted in the capture OF
the place and its entire garrison. At the
conclusion ofthe Mexican war he was elected
governor Of Missouri, serving for four years,
and at the expiration of his term of office
held the position Of ma general Of the
state militia In 1862, he was chosen pres
ident of the Missouri State Convention,
and labored strenuously to procure the seces-
sion fthat state from the Union In May
of the same year, he assumed command as
majOr-general of the state militia called out
by Governor Claiborne Jackson, but being
pressed by General Lyon he was compelled
to retreat from Jefferson City to Boonville,
where he was defeated by General Lyon on
the 18th Of June. He was pursued by
Colonel Franz Sigel, whom he defeated at
Carthage after a hard fought battle, thus

the state. Collecting his forces, and being
reinforced by General Ben. McCullough's
command, he returned northwardly, defeat
ed General Lyon at Springfield and, on
September Goth, captured Lexington. He
was afterward compelled to retreat before
General Fremont, and subsequently driven
from the state by Generals Curtis and Hal
leck. Having been transferred to Corinth,
he participated in the battle of Pennington,
on May 9, 1862, and was, in September,
moved to luke. Here he was attacked and
defeated by General Rosecrans. With Van
Dorm he attacked Rosecrans at Corinth,
October 4, and was, after hard fought
battle, defeated. He then remained idle
until January, 1864 when he relieved Gen
eral Holmes in command of the Department
of Arkansas, and in April captured, near
Camden, Arkansas, two hundred wagons
belonging to General Steeles command -
He was relieved of his Arkansas command
by General Magruder in August, and COM
menced his last invasion of Missouri, the
details of which are too recent and familiar
to justify rehearsal. Having retired to
winter quarters in Arkansas, he busted him
self with the reorganization of his corps,
where, it is reported, death by apolexy has
overtaken him. He is described as tall,

The Coming Crash.

The Chicago T1J,pe, one of the mos

the following article. 1t says:
All fast livers, spectators, as well as those
beginning to prick up their ears toward ex-
travagance in expenditure, should give heed
to the words of wisdom The feeling is rre-
vading all classes of society. A paper dol
lar, says our cotemporary, is deprecated to
forty four cents, gold value Currency is
plenty, and growing plentier. Come easy,
go easy, is the prevailing feeling. But
sooner or later the present abnormal condi-
ton OF things must terminate-perhaps
gradually, perhaps suddenly. The values
of all commodities, including money, are
comes the water will be bailed out, leaving
only what is represented by the gold stand
ard. Men are walking on high stills, and
are taking long but insecure strides But
all must dismount one of these days, and
come down until their feet touch the earth.
Many will be prccipitated headlong who now
tower aloft on their stills. Wise and prudent
men will prepare in time for the inevitable
change
The class who will suffer by the termina-
ton of war are those in debt. A merchant
with a stock of goods on hand worth say
$50 900, and half paid for, will not realize
threfrom enough to pay what he owes
When the goods are all sold, he will find
himself still in debt for them five to ten
thousand dollars, and this debt he must
liquidate, principal and interest, with gold
or its equivalent, or go into bankruptcy. -
The consequence of the end of the war on
the debtor class will be to increase every
mans debts about 225 per cent An obliga-
ton of s., 600 will become, in practical eff
feet, SIC, 900. That is, it will require pro-
perty or labor now worth in currency $l0,-
900 to pay it. A note outstanding drawing
ten per cent. interest, would then be equiv
alent to twenty-five per cent, or thereabouts,
to say nothing about the principal of the
note, the difficulty of whose payment will
swell in corresponding ratio.
Our advice is for. every man to pay off his
debt. and contract no new ones; to pay
cash for whatever he buys, and if he cannot
dothat, 60 without the article. Do not
spread too much sail. Keep plenty of bal

occasion was the reception of Mr.. and Mrs.

thousand persons. Mr.. Lincoln was dress.
ed in plain suit of black, with white kid
gloves. Mrs. Lincoln stood near him, and
charmed the visitors with her queenly grace
and dignity. She was tastefuliy dressed in
heavy purple brocade silk, very richly
trimmed with black velvet. an exauisitely
fine black lace shawl, gloves, head dress,
with jewelry to correspond. They took a
position in the blue room, Messrs. Nicolav
and Hay on Mr.. Lincoln right At twelve
o o'clock the doors were thrown open and the
Foreign Ministers were ushered in. Among
the first to wish happy New Year was
Senor Lisboa, Minister Plcnipotentiary from
Brazil, accompanied by his suite. All the
other Foreign Ministers were prompt in
their attendance in full court uniform.
