this city, but more recently occupying the judicial
bench in Mobile, Ala, and where, not long SINCE he
was shot by the United States District Attorney In
that city. He still leans cane from the effects
a his wound. His speech had reference mainly to
the present political condition of the people
Of the Southern States. He described them
as still lamenting their lost cause, as
still dislOyal to the general government,
as still hating intensely the people of the North as

VERNAL VERSES.

The sprouting spring revives. The buds
Pout like disappointed child;
The wild goose northward squawking scuds,
To 'scape the Southern breezes mild.
Nature awakes, and from her locks
Shakes the hoar frost, and combs her hair,
Hangs up her heavy wooden frocks
And by the window takes chair.
The bugs from meath the wainscoat crawl,
To warm their fingers in the sun,
The ant adjusts her waterfall,
And runs around to see the fun.
The brawling bullfrog draws his head
From out the circumjacent mud,
And tells the world he is not dead,
Tho drown'd for months beneath the food.
The flies. the pests of summer come;
The cricket strikes his harp in glee;
The beetle beats his doleful drum,
And brisAly hops the frisky flea.
The lizard ventures from his hole;
The martin chatters on the caves;
The hungry hedgehog wipes his jowl,
And rolls out from his bed of leaves.
The wheeling south wind blows his nose,
And wakes the violets from their sleep;
The gouty elm trees work their toes,
To make the cold sap upward creep.
Old Boreas grows and glides away;
The sun once more benignant smiles;
Nights gown is shortened, and the day
Lays sunshine up In golden piles.
Men feel the change, and women too;
Dogs feel it; also, Thomas cats;
Cheeks now assume a rOseate hue,
And heads are stuck in new spring hats.
Sweet seasonl Now the maple trees
Are full of luscious dripping juice,
And all the busy honey bees
Are on the fowery world turned loose.
The bosom heaves-the river swells;
The warm blood tingles in the veins;
The flowers spring up in dales and dells;
The green grass grows along the lanes.
The merchants show their lighter wears,
And Polack shifts his winter shirts;
Policemen even put on airs
And initiate the Fourth street squirts.
Delicious spring of thee / sing
feel my pulses bound and quicken;
Among the gifts that thou dost bring,
Pray don't forget the nice spring chicken!
Missouri Democrat.

The Cultivation Of Corn.

THE corn crop is of such importance to
the American farmer that the most ample
preparation should be made for it. With.
out deep tillage a heavy corn crop can
scarcely be obtained Yet it is not advis-
able to turn down the active surface soil,
and to bring up the cold subsoil In all
land that is not naturally drained, artificial
drainage is necessary, for deep tillage is
useless if stagnant water is allowed to re-
main within a few inches of the surface,
chilling the roots of the young plants and
lowering the temperature of the soil.
When the water from the melted snow
and spring rain remains in the soil until it
is evaporated by the heat of summer, a
good early-ripening crop of any kind can
not be obtainhd.
One acre of land deeply titled, thor
oughly drained and well manured, will
produce more corn than two or three
acres imperfectly titled, undrained and
overrun with weeds. A field may be well
drained and rich in all the ingredients nee
essary for producing good crop, and
yet an inferior crop may disappoint the
hopes of the farmer, for the soil may not
have been brought into mellow, friable
condition by the judicious use of the plow,
cultivator, harrow and roller. Seed Of in
ferior quality Will not produce a good
crop, neither will the best seed if it is
sown too early or too late, and if the
after culture is not suitable to the crop.
The drills or rows may be too narrow or
too far apart, and the plants in the drills
or hills may stand too thick or too thin.
In all these particulars judgment and ex-
perience are necessary.
Several experiments have been made in
order to ascertain the proper depth at
which to plant corn, and by one of them
it was discovered that when it was planted
three inches deep, it came up and grew
well until it was three or four inches high,
and then stopped for fortnight while
the corn in the same field which was
planted at less depth grew rapidly. On
examination it was found that a joint had
been formed about one inch and a half
above the kernel, and that the roots had
sprouted out from that joint, leaving all
below to perish. While the process of
changing roots was going on the plants
ceased to grow above ground, but in about
fortnight recovered their vigor, and they
were about that length of time later in
maturing the grain than the seeds which
were planted shallower.
A series of careful experiments showed
that corn planted at the following depth
came up as described:

COON HUNTING.

The following suggestive article from
the San Francisco Call is one Of the
sweetest little morsels that We have
ever experienced since peanuts "
were invented.
Some time since, ii was announced that
the Governor had comm issioned B. +. Wash
ington. Creed Raymond, and II. P. Coon
as Tide Land Commissioners, under the
Parish bill. As the law did not go into eff
feet until Saturday last, of course the COM
missions are invalid, and new ones will
have to made out. OF course the Governor
could not fill Offices which did not exist.
The commissions were issued, in the first
instance, under the misapprehensiop that
the law took effect from the dav of its APP
proval, whereas it did not 20 into operation
until sixty days thereafter. In this connec-
ton il is noticed that Mr.. Coon acted as
one of the presidents of the Republi-
can ratification meeting, Tuesday evening.
This being the case, and the new commits
sions net being issued, the Governor will
see the propriety OF adhering to the practices
of the country, ana deferring TO the public
sentiment and usage, BY selecting for Com
nissioners gentlemen who are in perfect
cord with the sentiments of the political
party whose representative the Governor Is.
Ii Mr.. Coon, as appears to be the case, has
arrayed himself in political opposition to
the Governor and his associates, he cannot
expect office THEIR hands.
This is delightful ! Coon, you see,
couldn't stand the uugodly Gorham, so
he became false to his professions OF
Unionism ard supported his fellow
saint aud brother Presbyterian, Hai.ht;
aud when Haight came 10 deal out the
patronage Of his Office, he gratefully
gave brother Coon nibble by asso-
chatting him with those models of piety,
loyalty and Christian decorum, Frank
Washington and Greed Raymond. This
made honors easy between the Gov
ernor aud the ez-Mayor but his Ex-
cellency being John Bigler's candidate
for the Presidency, this thing of Coon's
playing the part of Vice President at
Grant meeting is something to be rep
rimanded. OF course it is Pull
Dick, pull Devil say we and while
we enjoy the fun, We don't care u trass
farthing whether the Call trees the
Coon or the Coon escapes the ours that
are barking at him.

A STRANGE FREAK.-We were shown an
egg yesterday by VIM. Nicely johnson,
which goes a little beyond anything in the
egg line we have seen. We have often heard
of wheel within a wheel, but never have
heard of an egg within an egg but such
was the case in this particular. An egg,
perfect in form and covering about the size
of an English walnut, was found encased
within a shell the size of an ordinary egg,
attached to the outer she'll by a small fibre.
On breaking the outer she'll, the inner egg
was exposed, but not a particle of yolk or
white OF an egg was visible. The inner one
had absorbed all the substance. This freak
of nature or whatever it may be called, is
rather ominous. The substance of the outer
was absorbed by the inner egg. just the
Democracy at the coming election will be
absorbed into the inner circle, and no sub
stance will be left them. The bare shell
will be all that is left them, without sub
stance of which we will have the meat

| "MoUNTAIN SCoTT," THE DEsPEHADo.-
The Marysville Appeal Of the 4th instan,
furnishes the following description of the
man who was shot the other day by Police
man Leaman and other officers: The coro-
ner's jury in the case of Mountain Scott was
continued yesterday, to await the arrival of
witnesses from Michigan Bar, Sacramento
county. They may arrive to-day, but the
| body will be kept as long as possible. Chas.
| H. Lansing, and others residing here, are
certain of the identification, but as there is a
reward of $500 offered for Scott it is desi-
rable to make it as clear as possible. Those
who know him ale, however, positive, and
there is no doubt but that the deceased is the
murderer of Ritter and Atkinson Of Sacra-
mento, and the author of other outrages and
crimes which will never be revealed. Viii
Hams, the robber and murderer, is a mulatto,
born in New York Of Jamaica parents. His
complexion is light, with long, curly hair
He formerly lived at Yreka, Siskiyou county,
and at Cherokee Flat, Butte county, where
he was one Of a party robbing jewelry store.
The physicians who examined his body disa-
gree as to the number of wounds on it-some
say two and others insist tina, there are three.
One ball entered the left arm near The Shout
der, passed through the chest and came out
under the right collar bone. This is the
wound which the physicians disagree about,
some insisting that it was made by two ba Ills.
Another ball struck Williams in the right
leg below the knee. The deceased is pro-
fusely tatooed, and easily recognized by any
one who knew him. The tattoo marks are
as follows: On right breast over the nipple
female figure: English coat Of arms on
right arm above the elbow representation
of Christ's crucihxion on same arm below
the elbow; Indian warrior on left arm below
the elbow: cross with small heart under
within a wreath on the underside of left arm
wreath around wrist of left arm double
heart with wreath over it on right leg above
the knee; and star on left hand near thumb.
There is also red scar over the right eye.
On the body of Williams was a letter written
IN State Prison by Manuel Rodriguez, who
was arrested here some time ago for stealing
a horse in Alameda county. This letter re-
fers to the precautions necessary to avoid
identification and arrest. 1t is likely that
witnesses will arrive from Michigan Bar to-
day, and the body more fully identified.

NEW BOOKS.

Appleton & Co., of New York are
certainly making the most energetic and
effectiv efforts toward taking for them.
selves the very foremost of the front
rank of book publishers in the United
J States. If standard and new works at
| cheap rates and put in good style into
the market may command the popular
favor, they are undoubtedly on the
right track to the most complete sue
cess. Indeed it would seem that this
publishing concern have adopted such a
project as must succeed, if it is possible
to make and sell books in this country
at prices approximating those for which
the great English houses supply the
British reading public. There can be
no doubt that the admirable pamphlet
edition of Dickens works issued by
Appleton & Co. has met with an enor-
nous sale and we can have no doubt
that it has proven remunera,ive-ata any
rate it is to be hoped that such is the
case. The public has itself to blame if,
hereafter, good books are not made
available to people in the most moderate
circumstances for we have only to
show our appreciation of the desirable
ness of cheap priced books by buying
them, to be assured that similar editions
of the works of the bes, authors will be
Forthcoming.
Messrs. \. Roman Il Co., San Fran
cisco, have forwarded to US another

AN ENGLISH YACHT IN NEW YoRk-The
Calls correspondent, -" Satanella," thus
describes an English yacht that has lately
come into New York harbor: One of the
vessels constituting the Royal Yacht Club Of
Cowes is now the curiosity in our harbor.
She is called the Sultana, and is not a very
beautiful article to look at, nor yet a re-
markable vessel to "go," her best rate OF
sailing being about eleven knots. She was
built several years ago, before the America
went over and took the conceit out Of the
English yachts, making them abandon their
ancient model altogether, and adopt her own.
The Sultana, therefore, has no very fine
|" line" to admire, but she looks roomy and
comfortable, and has made voy age all about
the Atlantic in the pleasantest kind of style,
to the great enjoyment of her owner and his
guests, as we'll as favored US with pop-visit
to the United States. She has been to Ma
deira and Teneriffe, to Barbados and the
Canary Islands, and now she lies in the pic
turesaue little Bay which creeps into the
land near Hoboken, as if anxious for a peep
Of the Elysian Fields, while surveying the
lordly Hudson" and the whole length of
New York Island, with its fringe of masts
and sails along the North River. The Sui
tana is owned by Mr.. Ashworth, who is also
her Captain; is schooner of about one
hundred and thirty tons measurement, and
makes quite a picture with her tapering
masts, her white canvas and her ensign of
St. George flying amid SO much bunting in
the vicinity, covered with stars and stripes.
Her owner proposes to adopt new American
improvement in the buildisg of yachts be-
fore he returns to Cowes. The improvement
consists in surrounding the masts, in the
" STEP" with 1ndia-rubber springs, instead
of wooden wedges. This diminishes the
strain on the mast, gives it more elasticity,
and adds to the speed Of the vessel. They
talk even of applying the idea to the masts Of
ships, and possibly with success. All our
yachts, at anv rate. are being stepped in
his way now, and the yatchmen speak Of the
Improvement: with enthusiasm.
