Made upon Strictly Scientific Principles.

This article is entirely different from any other

enabling the buyer to avoid purchasing large quanti-
ty Of what he does not want In order TO get small
quantity of what he really does want; which know,
from experience, Is true with many II not all Of the
phosphates that are in the market No fertilizer can
be good and cheap at the same price for two crops
whose constituents are entirely different; II may be
good for both, but must be dear for one or tho other
For example, II phosphate should contain ingredi-
onts that would be cheap for wheat, ut any given
price, 1t is absurd to think that the same phosphate
would be equally cheap at the same price for anothtr
crop, whose constituents are entirely different. II
cannot contain ingredients for two articles of an en-
tirey different nature In such proportions as to be
equally cheap for one rs the other. I am confident
that there is great deal Of money thrown away for
phosphates of different kinds, from the fact that they
did not contain what the desired crop needed; and
in many cases the crop would have better without It

other crops of different nature, 1t would have doub-

The MAY PAnTY.-The May party of the chill
drcn of Grace Church Sunday School, in the In
stitute Hall, last evening, was one Of the most
pleasant affairs of the kind we have ever had the
pleasure Of attending. The hall was well filed
by large audience, all Of whom seemed as deep
ly interested as the children themselves, in the
ceremonies of the mimic coronation. The stage
was carpeted and beautifully decorated with
flags and banners with throne In its CENTRE Tenn
porary steps led from the floor Of the hall to
the stage and an oval space was kept clear in
the centre Of the hall in the centre of which was
the May pole.
First the smaller children entered singing, and
after several beautiful songs had been sung the
Queen of Flowers was chosen and crowned
and quccnly little beauty she was; the Floras
then went to meet the May Queen and her train.
She was conducted to the stage and there crown
ed Queen Of May, her subjects singing during the
coronation j." Receive thy crown o beautaous
Queen" and the compliment in the song was
surely well deserved. After an address by Lady
Hope, and the singing of other songs the Queen
delivered her address after which the Queen
Of Flowers acknowledged allegiance and made
her offering to the Queen.
Then, amid more sweet singing, the beautiful
procession commenced their fairy-like march
around the May pole. more beautiful throng we
never saw. and innocence youth and beauty
seemed to meet and mingle in each bright and
happy face. After singing the song, "Good
Might by the little folks, the May party broke
up an excellent amateur band took possession Of
the stage and discourscd most delightful music,
with which promcnaders kept time strawberries
and ice cream disappeared with marvellous rapid
ity, and amateur newsboys raised the shrill cry
Of :" Here you are for the Ereniag Fair" with
much more of spirit and vim than do our profess
sonal ncwsboys when selling the evening CosI-
MERcIAL. BY the way, the Erening Fair is one
Of our spiciest exchanges, and it is never dead,
but sleeping, a sleep from which 1t is suddenly
awakened by Its enterprising editor (who is an
ornament to the profession whenever the inter-
ests of the church, to whose welfare the paper
is devoted, requires it,
The only disappointment was in the failure Of
admiral Farfagut to be present ut the party. He
WINS fully expected, but for some reason not yet
known he did not arrive.-E'ridoy's Commercial

than sorrowful, goodbye, until he should re-
turn. lie said that he hoped Mr.. p. in returning
to old England, the land of his birth, would not
allow his affection to be wcancd from the country
Of his adoption. He expressed the wishes of the

age and happy and speedy return.
| Mr.. Pickles responded briefly, thanking the
gentlemen present for this mark of their esteem,
welcoming them to the home and fire side he
| would soon, for short time abandon, and as
| surfing them that nothing in foreign lands, even
in the land Of lis birth, could draw his heart
from America, the land Of freedom and the ma
ton OF his choice.
He said that in HE intercourse with his friends
in the Old World he would gladly assure them that
America was not only n land Of freedom but that
she was rapidly marching on the road to that
broad freedom and justice which shall make no
distinction in the rights of any one on account
of race or color.
Mr.. Lcibrandt, ON behalf Of the City Council
bid Mr.. Pickles goodbye, and assured him that
the members would miss him from his accus
toned seat.
Mr.. Pickles again briefly responded. aftci
which few remarks were made by Mr. Virgins
Alderman Vincent, and his honor, the Mayor
During the evening Mr.. p. was scrcnaded b,
the Mount Vernon eoored band, who favored
the company with most excellent music The,

Mr.. Pickles thanked them warmly for the compli
mcnt paid him. After the speeches the compan,
adjourned to another room and partook OF re
freshments, after which and some excellent sing
ing, they dispersed.

SUPPOSED CASE OF IoRsE STEALING. Robert
Sarde, ESQ, yesterday committed an unknown
negro man and wom9n. for the supposed larceny
of a horse and carriage. The couple drove into
Camden yesterday morning, the horse apparent
~ much jaded, and the man soon after offered to
sell the animal and conveyance for $50. As the
establishment was evidently worth $3.50, suspi-
cion was excited, and Mr.. Hcndrickson Wright
had the couple arrested. They are now in Dover
jail The horse is a dark bay; the ear.age OF

A CuRIoslTY.-Mr. Thos. B. Courscy, of Spring
Mills, in this county, sent us, the other day. a
cutting, about foot in length, from a small
branch of one Of his peach bces, which con-
tanned 81 young and healthy peaches, The cut
ting was made from tree about twelve years
old, of an carly variety. The peach crop in this
section of the country promises to be unusually
large, indeed 1t is thought that the trees c,nnot
bear one-quarter of the. fruit that has set. No
damage was done by the late frosts in that n9igh.

at Georgetown, she was hooted at by crowd OF
boys who wound up their "chivalricn perfor-
nlanccs by throwing stones at her. Complaint
was made Of the assault to j. I. Adams, II Justice
Of the Peace, at Georgetown, who refused to take
any action in the matter The refusal Of So
called officer OF justice to perform his sworn

should be put to such proceedings. If the State
authorities do not interfere the national authori-

AMUSING BEr.-That fence that we have
preached about for so long has at last been put
up around the cellar Of the old brew house on
Second st. It became the subject of an amusing
bet the other day. 1t 10 Just 100 feet in length and
the boards when first nailed on were irregular
at the top and all of them too long. Some con-
versation concerning the length of time required
to saw them off resulted in wager of s. by Mr..
W. G. Martin, one of the owners of the property,
that he could saw all the boards off in two hours.
In the afternoon he commenced the operation
and sawed away manfuy. As he drew near to
the end of the fence and the end of the time, a
large crowd assembled and excitement ran high.
He succeeded in finishing the job.though five and
one-half minutes before the time was up. The
top of thai fence will not procure Mr.. Martin d
situation in any carpenter shop we arc afraid.
