Conference.-The Raw Bone Phosphate l
bought of you last Spring applied to corn by
the side of Peruvian Guano in equal quantities,
and if there Was difference at all it was in ta
vor of the Phosphate. My corn crop was ex-
celent. l applied 1t also upon oats and pota'
toes with the most satisfactory results. | prefer
it decidedly to Peruvian Guano from the fact
that whilst the Guano spends itself upon the
growing crop, the effects of the Phosphate can
be strongly seen in the crops following. Some
manure made asplendid yield, the fish turning
out an abundant crop of vines, the phosphate
the potatoes. l have used it this Fall upon my
wheat, and at this time it looks as well l could

TEST OATHs Baltimore Sun has an
excellent article on these odious relics OF bar
barism, injustice, and tyranny. 1t says;
"Strange to say. these cast-off shackles OF
European despotisn,, in which the victims oil
personal wrongs and political prescription were
once bound hand and foot, have been picked
no here and goated over as republican jewels
In this State, at one time, and in some others
even now, the elective system has been com
pletely subverted by the proscriptive conditions
and disabilities imposed by test oathS, whilst
rancor, irritation, and longing for retributlop
are naturally engendered in the minds OF the
oppressed. 1t is neither the dictate OF wisdom
nor policy to embody ranking hate and revenge
in an organic law, and expect to build struc-
lure of either national or local peace AID pros

COMPOUND INTEREsT.-A statement is at
present being widely circulated in the newspa'
pers that lady who, thirty five years ago, had
entrusted the sum of twenty-five dollars to
savings bank in the interior of New York, and
had forgotten the transaction, remembered re-
Gently the fact of the deposit, and to her sur
prise discovered that she was entitled to seven
hundred and twenty three dollars and eleven
cents. This anecdote is an illustration or the
carelessness with which wonderful stories are
repeated. Though the saving effected by add
ing interest to principal is astonishing, yet the
report that in thirty five years sum OF money
increased thirty-three fold is not entitled to be
lief Still it passes unquestloned, from the
adroitness with which the minute particulars
of eleven cents are introduced, giving the story
the appearance of an actualtransaction. "A loan
will double itself ia about fourteen years, at
FIVE per cent interest, compounded yearly, and
in twelve years, at six per cent, compounded
yearly But it would require ten per cent, IN
lerest, compounded semi annually to produce
the enormous increase mentioned.

The BLOOD STONE AND THE OPAL.-COn-
corning the blood-stone or heliotrope' there Is
a curious. tradition:
AT the crucifxion the blood which Hollow
ed the spear-thrust fell upon dark green Jas
per wing at the foot of the cross, and from this
circumstance sprang the variety. In the mid
die AGES the red specs alluded to were sup,
nosed to represent the blood of Christ, and
this stone to possess the same medicinal and
magical virtues as the jasper.
The opal, beyond doubt, the most beautiful
of all gems, is also the only one which cannot
be inflated 1t impossible to value it. since
the price depends solely upon the play of color.
A fine specimen will fetch thousand pounds
but fifty times that sum has been refused for
the Vienna Opal. The hydrophane, or Next
can opal, loses its beauty when exposed to wa
ter; aud Sir Walter Scott has alluded to this
fact in ''Anne OF Geierstein, although,ln that
romance, he ascribes it to supernatural agency.
Strange to say, after the publication OF that
novel, the belief that opals were unlucky OBJ
tanned such currency that they quickly went out
of fashion.
