What is Fusel Oil.

The New York dailies, since the report
of analytical chemists of the Board of Ex-
else has been made. are asking the ques-
ton, What is fusel oil? Some have also
made feeble attempt to answer the ques-
ton which is thus propounded. The
query has arisen from the fact that the
report above alluded to states that out Of
thirty-two samples Of Bourbon and bran
dy obtained from the liquor dealers Of this
city all but four contained fusel oil. One
daily gives vent to its feelings in the fol-
lowing: -
'.Is it after all such frightful thing ?
Dunglison describes it as an acrid, vola-
tile oil. formed in the manufacture of po-
tato brandy, and which is not easily sepa.
Fable from it; and another authority says
it accompanies ordinary alcohol in its pro-
duction from potatoes and grain. Dung
lison also says that its chemical constitu-
ton is analogous to that Of alcohol. and
that, in small doses, it is highly stimulat-
iug-acting like narcotics in general
while. in large doses, it destroys the mu-
cous membrane of the stomach. The
same authority also desiguates it as 'pota-
to oii,' grain OIL corn spirit OIL amy
lie alcohol and 'hydrated oxide of amyle.
Some medical men have considered that
in the use of whiskey by consumptives.
fusel oil was the effective element-hav-
ing the tendency to retard the processes
of decay in the tissues of the lungs. But
there is no question of the ruinous effects
of the fusel oil liquor sold in New York. "
In regard to the effects of fusel oil upon
the human system we can do no better
than to quote the United States Dispen-
satory, (which says: 'Amylic alcohol
(fusel oily. as shown by experiments on
inferior animals, is an active irritant poi

to satisfy anxious and thirsty inquirers
we shall not attempt to make it more so.
Of course it may be taken like other poi
sons diluted with water and common al
cohol, as it is found in the compounds

rumsellers without danger of immediate
death or anything more serious than

Drifting away-drifting away 49,

My weary feet have never trod,
With few to stretch parting hand
And fewer still for me to pray
I seek the presence of my God.
Slowly dying slowly dying
Closing eyes to sight and sound
Thus / do to-day;
Nome to catch my souls sad signing
None to weep above my mound
When Pm laid away.
Time is fying-time is flying,
Slow the sunlight fades away,
And the city's hum grows still;
O! for one sweet souls replying
o! for one sweet voice to pray
Ere my form grows pale and chill
All, when Death has laid upon me
Hands so very dark and cold
Will my troubles cease?
Will in Eternity,
Where the soul can ne'er grow old,
From my pain find some surcease?
There are one or two who love me,
One or two who hold me dear
As their life-blood of the heart;
These, know, will mourn me,
Sometime, too, will wish me near
When we drift apart.

Through the memory=haunted air
Merry tunes some hands are playing
Flowers caught up with graceful care;
Books with blossoms laid between
To recpll some favorite thought,
Will connect us heart to heart, -.

And there's one will surely miss me-
One who holds me very dear ..s
How he'll long sometimes to kiss me,
How he'l wish that were nearl
How he'll call back hours and days
Full of sunshine and of love
When our hearts were gay and gladsome

Farewell, friends who love me we'll

On my fainting hearts glad swell.

Folded lie above my breast,
And, beloved ones, oh, miss me
When I sink to silent rest.

she never gave less than 81 gallons Of
milk per day, anda few days reached
four. Since June she has been on fine
crab grass, but has not averaged over
one gallon per day. My mules had at
least cne-third less corn, but kcptin bet-
ter condition than they would have done
on full rations. / am particular in maxi
ing these statements to show that while
there is nothing that will make more or
a better duality Of hay, than orchard
grass and clover, there certainly is moth
ing superior to them for grazing pur-
poses. [ consider that one acre we'll set
in clover and grass equal to at least two
acres in any other crop. For winter
grazing it is better than the clover, in
fact it Is better than anything know of.
1t does not stop growing even in tho
celdest spells Of weather, and grows much
faster than rye or barley, and one seed
ing is all that is necessary in life time.
Clover runs out in five or six years.
September is the proper time forsow-
ing grass and clover, and / hope every
ono who can will prepare lot Of one,
two, three, or five acres. Prepare the
land deeply, manure highly, SOW eight
pounds of clover seed and one bushel of
orchard grass to the acre, cover, if at all,
with light roller, and my word for it,
you will never live to regret the opera
ton. If you sow wheat or oats as they
do In the Northern States, you need not
expect crop of clover the first season.
Which the grain is cut the plants are so
tender tho sun checks their growth un-
til summer is over.
1t is, and has been the general im-
preston that clover will not grow in this
latitude. But few have tried it, and
when there has been failure, tho fault
undoubtedly, has been in the expert
ment, not in the climate. | have travel
cd in Virginia and Tennessee, in all
seasons of the year, and | have seen
better clover in this country than ever
saw in either Of those States. Between
this and Augusta, in different localities,
there are large fields Of clover that have
been growing for several years, as sue
ccssfully as any in higher latitude
There is no deficiency in the climate
This climate will grow asescst every
thing north of the tropics, and it is
probably superior, or at least equal, to
any in the world for tho growth Of all
the clovers and grasses. This opera
ton will, in my judgment be fully veri-
fed in very few years, for as labor
becomes scarcer and higher, grass lots
and clover fields viii begin to appear all
over tho country then, and not till
then, can we talk in earnest about reno
waiting our old fields; about fat beef,
mutton and hogs, and fine horses.

BULLOCK AND ANGLER

Angler, the State Treasurer, is out in
the Atlanta Era, occupying column,
denouncing Gov. Bullock. He heads it
"To the People of Georgia." and intro
duces his subject by saying:
"The publicity given to case of a
Malignant attempt at persecution in the
shape of the most malicious prosecution,
by the individual styled the Chief Mag
istrate of Georgia, against the Treasur-
er, forces that officer to respond in a
statement of facts, and make some dis
closures to the public heretofore UNI
known"
Angler then in severe language &C.
cuses Bullock of almost everything bad
of drawing largs sums of money without
reason or authority. of pocketing al
monies that were pocketable, finally ad
ministering few blows from the Shout
der, as follows;
"This is the man, with all his corrup
lions, squandering of the States fund
/ by thousands in his awn interest, il
violation of law, with mind so perverted
that it seems to be his pleasure to shield
and reward iniquity, and punish homes

RED CLOVER GRASS AND ETC.

Mr.. Editor For three or four years
past | have been experimenting with
clover and several varieties of grass
A great many persons have made inqui-
ries concerning them, and, hoping that
it may assist those who have decided to
have clover lot, and stimulate others
to an effort in the same direction, have
concluded to give you the result of the
experiment. Glover, like any other
cIop, to grow successfully, requires rich
land. It would be just as sensible to ex-
pect first class crop of cotton or corn
on poor land as good crop of clover
The land must be naturally rich, or made
SO by liberal application of manure, and
then know of no crop raised in this
country that will return larger profits
than combination of orchard grass and
red clover.
In the fall of 1866, prepared small
plat of ground, about one acre and
half. The land was naturally rich and
did not require any fertilizer. About
the first of October with turn plough,
followed by a subsoiler, broke the land
ten or eleven inches deep, fifteen would
have been better, but find it impossi-
BILE with any plodgh that have used to
break stiff red land more than ten or
twelve inches. Isowcd wheat, covering
it with the harrow. Two weeks later
sowed twelve pounds of clover seed and
one bushel and half of orchard grass,
not covering at all. In short time |
had fine stand of wheat, grass and
clover.
After cutting the wheat the following
year, great number and great variety
Of weeds came up and grew SO rapidly
that lost sight Of the grass and clover.
In August, when the weeds were in full
bloom, with grass scythe, / cut them
close to the ground, and ! have not been
troubled with weeds on that lot since
that timo. The clover and grass grew
off vigorously and made fine grazing lot
during the following winter. On the
10TH, Of May 1868, | cut the grass and
clover, and they averaged four feet all
over the lot. Towards the latter part of
June | cut again, the average height
being about two feet. A third crop grew
during the same summer which matured
a large quantity of seed. / did not
weigh the hay, but the lowest estimate
by any of nay ncighbors who saw the
bulk after being dried, was three tons
per acre; equal to ninety dollars in any
market. In cutting, shocking and hous-
ing, one hand was employed about four
days. This covers the entire expense
of the crop, excepting one bushel of
gypsdm or land plaster to the acre. scwed

HOLD YOUR PEACE.

We would say to the thing who signs
himself Rufus b. Bullock, Governor Of
Georgia, that the thing has come to
point where it would be becoming in him
to cease lying upon the people Of the
State. For more than a twelve-month
he has been importuning Congress to
put the State under military rule and to
appoint him Dictator. lie has travelled
northward, and told the credulous crowds
which listened to him thai his life was in
danger in Georgia, and that his people
were prosecuted and murdered by the
hundreds by day and night. He has
charged that the members of tho press
are the leaders of the Ku-Klux Khan.
and his hcnchmen great and small have
rc-echoed the SANDER. Yet he admits
that he has invited this Ks-Klax klass
to go on an excursion with him. Even
more he has filed sundry cars With
whiskey, sardines, champagne and mig
ger BARRIERS, and has put therein some
forty Ku Klux and gotten therein him
self. to travel by night and by day for
the space of twelve days or more. Tho
only protection he has around him is d
body guard consisting of Hubert,
Swayze, Bard, and the aforesaid niger
BARRIERS. The Ku5Klux, on the other
hand, have unlimited access to whiskey
with which to inhame their passions,
and opportunities beyond counting to
chuck Bullock Off a:bridgc, or to knock
him on the head with acoupling PIN
And yet he goes with his gang by
special appointment, without shrug or
shriyer. after tramping over the North
vaunting his great danger and unparal-
lei cowardice. We say It is time that
even Bullock should quit lying, and that
the SANDER mill should be locked up for
want Of custom. Selah.--ColgqJ1s
