The SOMBRERO GUANO of which MORO

manufactured (and of which he has sole control for
the United States,) contains fifty per cent. more
Bone Phosphate than Raw Bone, therefore it is
more durable.
A large percentage is Soluble, and will imme.

The Ammonia it contains is ready TO yield its
value-not animal matter, capable of yielding its
ammonia after decomposition in the soil.
Nothing is spared in its manufacture to render it
the most valuable Superb Phosphate and Crop Pro-
ducer IN the market.
Eight years experience has proved to the farmer
that it is durable and can always be relied on as
uniform in quality; and the numerous unsolicited
testimonials continually received of its use in COM
petition with other Fertilizers, fully atIess that it
has not been excelled.

. "a z ETH LAMPS.

Extracts from newspapers and ADVERTISE
ments relating to so-called safety lamps" for
burning cheap kerosene or benzine, have been
frequently sent to US with the request that we
would express an opinion regarding them. We
remark, in brief, that no lamp can be construct
ed ia which these highly inhamnable liquids
may be used with safety. The ''escape- valves
and ''sde tubes usually employed are of no
service whatever in connection with lamps.
They do not in the slightest degree insure safe
ty. Bo1.ine is dangerous to harbor IN families
More deaths are caused by breaking lamps than
10y explosions Very few lamps really explode.
Men, women, and children are burned to death
by spilling the liquid upon the clothing, or up
setting lamps or cans; and most Of the explo-
slons reported are accidents of this nature.
Exemption from danger is secured only by pre-
venting htlammable liquids from entering the
dwellng-not by the use Of safety lamps" or
vessels for holding the liquids. Have nothing
to do with these devices. Purchase and use
only good Kerosene Oil, of legal standard, and
you are safe. Boston Jour. Chemisty.

Correspondence of the Montgomery Mail 9TH
CINCINNATI, March 4

CINCINNATI, March 4.
had the honor of an interview, this morn
ing, with Hon. George H. Pendleton. As our
conversation was purely upon topics of which
he doubtless speaks publicly every day, can
not see any Improperly in giving the substance
of it. Not only would it be not improper but on
the contrary I think it would be highly proper
tor the people of Atlanta to know just at this
juncture what is the dninaus of the grand party
which represent large majority Of the white
men of the United States, and of which Mr.
Pendeton is one of the accepted leaders-the
party which has now control of the great states
of Ohio and New York, and which must in a
short time regain it's old ascendency through
out the entire north. Mr.. Pendeton is a hand
some man, of cultivated address and captivat
ing manner. He shows no sign of age, but ap
pears in the hearty vigor and cheerful hopes Of
early manhood. He received me most cordial
ly, and expressed the pleasure which he enter
tanned at meeting last summer q number of our
delegation to the New York convention. After
inquring as to the health of Governor Fitzpat-
rick, Gen. Clayton, Colonel Lowe, of Hunts
on the topic of current interest-the Inaugural

JOHNSON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS.
"Mr. Pendleton," asked, 'have you read
this morning the farewell address of Mr. John
SOM"
He had not had time to read it, but could
we'll believe that the outgoing president could
not too strongly portray the deplorable conse-
quences of yielding to the usurpations of con-
gress.
"Mr. johnson refers to the steps by which
Sylla obtained supreme power, and to the
quiet submission of the people to every viola
tion of law"
GRANT-CUBA
"Have you any fear that Gen. Grant will
usurp the one man power?"
General, Grant," said Mr.. Pendleton, "n
we may Judge from his reticence thus far, un-
der the most powerful pressure, is man of
most wonderful self-command and self-conf-
dence."
'.Is it not more probable that he is simply
soldier of supreme Indifference as to civil af-
fairs, and that his silence is the result rather
of carelessness and stoldity than selfrell-
ance!"
cit is not probable"

Ep1rArHs. The following is on q tomb

ErrrApHs. The following is on tomb
stone in San Viego, Cal.
This year is sacked to the memory Of
William Henry Shraken, who cum to his
deth being shot with Colts revolvers-one
of the old kind, brass mounted, and of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven.
The annexed epitaph is on a young wo-
man who gained her livelihood by selling
eggs, and from the tenor of it we Judge her
brother must have erected the stone to her
memory:
Here lies the body Of Mary MGroyn,
Who was so very pure within,
She broke the outward shell of sin,
And Matched herself cherubim.
N. B-Her brother made of sterner stuff,
Adds to her business that Of snuff.

Paralysis from Excessive Smoking.

Impaired nervous energy, and even actual
paralysis, produced by the excessive use Of to-
bacco, are more common than is usually sup
posed. All or most will probably endorse the
assertion of impaired nervous energy resulting
from excessive smoking, but cases of actual
paralysis resulting from this cause must be
very rare. We never remember seeing one
which we could without any doubt assign to
this cause. In the September number Of the
Lancet for 1864 there is case recorded of par
ayss Of the hand and forearm from excessive
smoking Journal of Health.

HOW Tsb CLEAN LAMP CHEMNEYs

Most people in cleaning lamp chmneys use
either a brush made of bristles twisted into a
wire, OF 4 rag on the point of scissors Both
OF these are bad; for, without great care, the
wire, or scissors, will scratch the glass as
diamond does, which, under the expansive
power of heat, soon breaks, as all scratched
glass will. If you want neat little thing that
costs nothing and will save half your glass,
tie piece of soft sponge, the size of the CHM
hey to pine stick.

To all those well-otf fortune-seekers, wheth-

To all those well-otf fortune seekers, wheth
er by changing places or business, especially
all those who hope to find her in office seeking, -
we would earnestly commend the italian epi-
taph: 81 was well; wished to be better; took
medicine, and here l am"
The same is true in the investment of capt
tai. For, next to its getting, the hardest thing
probably,is to know what to do with it, where to
put it that it shall pay best. And here, as in the
wages of labor, risk is great clement. safe
investment at per cent, would pay better than
an unsafe one at 20 per cent; and as choosing
calling which promises large pay, but with
offsets also, has sadly disappointed the hopes
of thousands,-so investing capital in these so
promising directions, without considering their
offsets, has strewed the world thick with the
wreck of what untold fortunes. Countless
stocks, as banks, railroads, oi-companies, &C,
while promising to the greedy large profits,
how often have they like the poets
''swollen bubbles
Burst and all is air.
To every young man seeking his fortune,
whether by selling his services, or investing
his capital, these principles lie deep down
among The solid rocks upon which he must
build. In our judgment, young friends, it mat
ters far less arhot you do, and leAere you are
than ho1r you do it. Every calling is full of
fortunes inviting young men of courage, wi tn
brave and honest hearts, to come and take
them. Next week, we shall try to show how,
and where, to find them.

Prof. Paas1ee ON r ObaccO and Air,

The celebrated Prof. Peasee, in a lecture in
New York, recently, said =
''The use of tobacco interferes with diges-
ton, causes disease of the throat, diminshes
virlity, sometimes producing impotency,
bunts the intellect and destroys the finer SEN
siblities. 1t never should be used for medc-
nal purposes. Having said this much in regard
to the ''fragrant weed" the lecturer proceeded
to explain the use and effect of air on the hu
man system. The vitalizing element of air,
oxygen, is essential to life and health. Ami
mails require it in order to exist and enjoy the
natural heat of the body. The lecturer de-
scribed the action Of breathing, and said it
should always be performed through the nose,
and explained the wonderful mechanism of the
circulatory organs. A grown person breathes
from fourteen to eighteen times in minute,
and less when asleep than awake. In everv
twenty -four hours one and q half pounds of
vapor arc eXhaled from the lungs. The doc
tor spoke of the necessity of having pure air
in our sleeping apartments, and recommended
d careful attention to a proper ventilation in
our dwellings as matter Of Indispensable hy-
glenc Importance"

To show how our ocean commerce is dwind-
ling away, it must be stated that in 1858, out
Of value of $3.50 900, 900 carried to and from
our domes tic ports, only $l3l 900, 900 went un-
der foreign flag, whereas, in 1857 out of
1914 10000 at all the ports, $577 100000 were
carried in alien vessels, and last year the pro-
portion against US was still further Increased.

The flower Of flowers, for outdoor culture,
we think, is the dahlia; showy, hardy as the
potato, subject to no insects, and constant
bloomer from lst of July till killing frosts. 1t
is South American plant, introduced into Eu-
rope by the Spaniards in 1889, and derives its
name from The Swedish botanist Dahl. In its
culture, il requires much the same treatment
as the potato. Now is the time to ''sprout
them" Put them into a box of earth, moss,
or any substance that retains moisture we'll,
and keep them in any warm place where pota-
toes would sprout, watering frequently. When
the new growth is an inch or two high, with a
sharp, thin knife cut out carefully as large
piece of the root, with one new shoot attached
to it, as possible without injuring the others.
Put each shoot with its root into small box
Of pasteboard or birch bark; fill with good
soil; water we'll every day, and keep them in
a warm sunny place. When all frosts are over
and the ground is Warm-not before the 1st of
June in this climate-set them out where they
are to stand, the roots two or three inches be-
low the surface. As their stocks are very ten
der, they must be cons family well staked. At
first any light sticks will do; but by the time
they are in flower, as they will be three or four
feet high, with heavy, bushy tops, they must
be well tied to strong stakes, as firmly set as
bean poles To see fine dahlia all shattered
by wind and storm is painful sight-only ex-
cecded by that other sad and unnecessary
thing-a line of clothes tattered by the wind,
and dragging in the mud.

La Fenioe, in Venice, where Don Sebastiaso is
now being rehearsed. The Atheneum saws
"Neither Of these operas is particularly lively.
but still the constant variety in the r6pertoire
Of continental houses puts to shame our
steady adherence to the same dull round OF
hackneyed works. 1t is interesting TO note
how many operas neglected by us are now
being played in the different cities of the
peninsula. AT Padua they are playing Clio
Udnna d'Arco, promised by Mr. Gye last year,
but not produced; at the Carlo Felioe of Genoa.
POliuto, known to us as 4 Martiri, is the opera,

Naples, PdrtSind, La StrdnierG, and Signor

there is no chance of new operas being studied
until we establish for that purpose perma-
nent theatre which shall be independent of
our short fashionable season."

Musical Notes.

Madame Lucca has reappeared in Berlin,
as "Zerlina," Herr Betz assuming the charac-
ter of "Don Juan.'
Herr Wagner's MeiSterSdnger has been
brought out in Carlsruhe-it would seem with
extraordinary success.
Herr Oscar Paul, editor of the TonhaHe,
has ben appointed Professor Of the History of
Music in the Leipsic Conservatoire, in the
room of the late Brendel.
The RossiAi celebration at Pesaro is not
to take place before August next. Cheru-
bini's Requiem, the very finest in being, and
''The SWANS Stabat Mater, are to be per-
formed.
Various Italian journals, which, however,
are not to be implicitly trusted, speak favor
ably of Penelope, new opera giocosa, by
Signor Rota, recently brought out at the
Teatro Comunale of Trieste.
-Rossini left three millions of francs. An
Italian paper states that according to codicil
found after the will, the city of Pesaro is enti-
tied Immediately to all the composers pro-
perty in Italy on condition that fifty per cent.
OF it is paid to the widow.
The programme of the next Lower Rhenish
| Festival, to take place at Whitsuntide at DIS
seldorf, has been arranged. Handels Joshua
will occupy the first day; the second will be
! taken up by one of Bach's CGntatdS, the
| second part of he Seasons, and MendelssOhn's
Lobgesang; while the third day will be reserved
for the solo performers, Among these will be
Herr Joachim and his lady.
The Able Liszt has been playing at Wei
mar, at concert given in celebration of the
birthday Of Princess Marie. II is said that
the eccentric pianist has brought from Rome
youth, named Camille Giucoi, who is en-
dowed with extraordinary musical talent. 1t
is strange Sign of the times that the Italian
youth, a compatriot of Spontini, both having
been born in the same district, has been placed
in the Conservatoire of Munich to complete
his education under the guidance of Herr
Hans Won Bulow, disciple of the wrong
headed author of LOkengrin.
News of cerem onial performances in
honor of Rossini continue to reach us. For
instance, in Padua, solemn mass to his
memory has been performed, adapted from
his own works by Signor Balbi. AS matter
of curiosity, we note the source of each
move ment The "Kyrie" was adapted to the
''Caiita" chorus, the beginning of the 'Can-
