THE NEW ORDER OF THINGs-CLosE
sCULTIvATIoN-The following extracts
copied from the Rural Gentleman, an able
Agricultural Magazine published in Ba,i-
more, are commended to the attention OF
agri:ultursts, as containing good sound
sense, which ifpractsed at this time, must
rebound to the advantage Of the South
crn planter and farmer:
We are glad to observe that the mista-
ken idea pride Of acres" is being gradu
ally dispelled throughout the Middle and
:, Southern States, and that the cultivators
y of the soil are beginning to realize from
q experience that small farms, with goo1
itilIage and liberal use of manure, are
: the surest means of success. And this
result may be attributed to the changed
labor System of these sections, and the
spirit Of their agricultural press.
~ Now, if we expect our land to yield
abundantly, we must feed IL well-teed it,
too. before it gets hungry, aud rest it ere
lit becomes weary, as an eminent English
7.ayricuturist once said There is also a
great deal in the manner in which we ap.
Div fertilizers. DR.. Voelcker, chemist to
4 The Royal Agricultural Society, has estab-
liShed the fact that all manures are bettor
applied upon the surface, TO be washed i'll
by the rains, than turned under by the
plough.
You should also study the nature Of
your soil, so as 10 know what manures to
use. Now Peruvian guano has ammonia
q, in EXCESS, while the Orchilla possesses
valuable phosphates and alkaline suits
Z hence of great value when combined.
a. A standard Super Phosphate is. the
giant manure, being bonc-phosphate con-
. eentrated with sulphuric acid, producing
the soluble phosphorus acid-the chemical
q constituents of which absorbs ammonia
from the atmosphere. Rhodes" is, we
believe, recognized as '.standard super
phosphate" and, being manufactured up
on large scale, can be sold TO the farmer
sat much lower price than he can pro-
duce it tor himself.
A farmer should select standard ingre-
dients and combine for himself-it being
well known that ammonia and phosphates
are the leading properties to be obtained
in sufficient quantities tor agricultural use
the other ingredients of plant TODD be
ing furnished by the soil and atmosphere.
So much for manures. Another idea be-
fore closing. We contend that the dignity
Of agriculture should be recognized by the
young men OF the country, who should
adopt it us profession. Avoid the crow
ded cities and towns to engage in the un-
certainties Of commercial life. Remember,
that if agriculture is allowed to languish.
that being the true basis Of the nations
wealth, dire confusion in every other pur-
suit must inevitably follow. Attend well
to the fountain from which flows all or
prosperity; and we will hear less com.
plant about hard times, and nothing 20
do.

A BABY-Did you over watch dear
little baby waking from its morning nap?
1t is one of the prettiest sights iii the
world. There is the crib, with its small
preparations and snow-wh:te drapery that
covers something; outlined round and
plump. There is nothing to reveal what it
is not the slightest movement OF the pill
lowed whiteness that is visible%ho sound
to Indicate keenesL actual lite, until the
hour-hand OF the clock. that stands senti-
mel like yourself has twice made it's circuit.
Then there is slight pulsingin the white
drapery, small, p nix, tremulous hand,
fair Il. rosebud, is thrust ont; and from
the nest thus broken into appears round,
diminutive face, with wide-open eyes, that
have not much speculation in them yet.
Soon, however, they cease to STARE and
become questioning, serious, as If wonder
ing what kind Of world it is they open
on ard the head lifts itself just a little,
and two snow-white feet stand up spas
medically, with a Simultaneous movement,
each toe Of which has an attendant dimple.
But the head is too heavy ;it falls back on
the pillow with its own sweet weight, tho
hair all damp and golden, the cheeks,
peachy, the mouth just routed. as the an
gels kissed it in dreams. A first linger-
Ing 20 90 comes from its rosy depths
sweeter than any birds song; for it has a
spirit tone, and yet retains thrill of its
native skies. The chubby hands are lifted
imploringly, persuasivcIy; the baby is
awake, and ceases to be an angel.

grand jury to-day, concluded as follows:
CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY.
\ very important case of homicide will
come before you. 1t has, through various
incidents, odd accessories, and extraordinary
surroundings of men, women, and manners,
deservedly attracted great public attention
all through the country. Your duty regard
ing the alleged killing of the late MIR. Rich
ardson by Mr.. Mcfarland is very simple
one. Ii he was of sound memory and discre-
ton, TO use the old Saxon phrase. on the sub-
ject of homicide when he fired the fatal shot.
then his act was murder; but whether or not
he was OF sound memory and discretion. will
become question for the petit jury, and it is
not Ill your province. Pour duty is to ascer-
tam II the allegations be true, that McFar-
land hred the shot that caused Richardson's
death. l think l should be derelict in the
discharge OF my functions a. an elected con.
servator of the peace an mOrzs i'm this cour:

dents following the act which eliminated in
the homicide just referred to- In vain shall

to give benedictions to bigamy, or to conse-
crate lechery by prayers at the bed of death.
Ii there has been bigamy committed, or aided
or abetted by any person, no matter how ele-
waited In life they may be, fearlessly investi-
gate the matter; and, arriving at the fact Of
probable guilt, promptly indict.
BEECHERs PART IN THE TRANSACTION,
The grand jury were then dismissed until
tomorrow, when they will at once investi-
gate whether Mr.. Beecher has aided or abet-
ted bigamy. 1t is not unlikely that the great
divise will be indicted and compelled to
stand trial, as charged be the first criminal
officer in the country.

mission to erect synagogue. This will be
the first building of the kind that has ever
existed in Russia. Hitherto the Jews have
legally had no right to reside in the empire,
and were consequently obliged to account
for their presence under various pretexts,
for the admission of which by the authorities
they had to pay large sum, and they were
not allowed to build any permanent house
of prayer. A committee. consisting of some
of the wealthicst Jews of st. Petersburg.
has now been formed to collect funds for the
new building. which is to be got up on
