III contains, in the first place, 20 supply of or

GoI,. evolves considerable quantity OF ammonia,
as well as the organic acids which acts as solvents
Of the mineral salts. There is therefore, contln
mons supply of both these important classes of
"a ants diving the entire course Of decomposition.

woody fibre and the structure materials of the
ant We. have, then, in this ingredient of the
rn ,nure under examination, the means of promo
tiig a rapid development Of the plant at the COM
id sncement of the season, -. :,
Sncb 4 development however, If unsupported
b1r sufficient mineral matter, is apt to bring about
q loose watery stalk, which is unable to resist the
.eurly droughts Of a Southern summer. Recent
experiments have shown the tendency on the part
of ammoniacal manures to increase the quantity
of water in stems and leaves. This difficulty is
rtmedied by the second notable Constituent OF this
o,ano the soluble phosphoric acid. existing in
fa form of bi-phosphate of lime. Intimately
mineled with the bi-phosphate is the sulphate Of
tie same base. which supplies lime in soluble
form and ia, abundant quantity TO the growing
nlant. Now phosphoric acid, whether in q free
state or in It's soluble Salts has decided influence
;rgforcinr growth, while at the same time it fur
nishes inorganic nutriment, A combination of
ammonia and soluble phosphate may therefore be
expected not only to hasten q more active growth,
bat also to give vigor and solidity TO the stem,
and. to that extent, to protect the plant against
tie effects of drought. The othar. soluble ele-
ments Of vegetable food presentin this fertilizer

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Gold Hill,
Nevada, to the San Francisco Dispatch at
tributes the defeat OF the Democracy there
to the fact that many prominent members Of
that party had Chinese in their employ
Sac. Bee.
This is news w here-and If true,
only goes to show that "John" has
been considered for some years past as
a great drawback to the success Of the
great unwashsd Democracy. The joke
Of attributing the want of success at
the late municipal election to poor John
Chiuaman, however, is too "kussed
good to be lost" as Josh Billings would
remark. Why, he was q decent, law
abiding, quiet citizen, as compared to
some of the noisy, whisky-sucking
roughs and shoulder-strikers who voted
and worked for the Democratic ticket
on that occasion. No, no John was
not the cause Of their defeat. Want of
voters was the cause. Cinnamon are
not in the employ of "many prominent
members Of that party" Not much.

DIED FROM Hrs wouxp.-Yssterday
afternoon, at Eve o'clock, John Palmer
died at his residence on Mission street,
near Second, from the effects Of q pistol
wound inflicted upon him, as It Is
alleged, by Thomas Brookbanks, who Is
in custody on q charge Of assault with
intent to commit murder. An attempt
was made to obtain q deposition from
the dying man, but owing to the unfor-
tunate condition Of his mind, Justice
Ladd refused to take his statement. II
IL said that he believed to the very last
he would recover, and refused TO listen
to those who In his own interest would
have convinced him that he was MORT
bund. In all probability . charge OF
murder will be entered against Brook
