The Judiciary.

During the past week, Hon. Harry
White introduced the following resolution
iuto the Senate, and thereon made the ac-
companying remarks
"Resoloed, That the Judiciary General
Committee of the Senate be and are here
by instructed to inquire into the propriety
ofrevising the judiciary system ofthe Com
nonwealth, and report by bill or other
wise to the Senate at an early day of the
present session"
Mr.. White said
"Mr. Speaker, would make remark
in connection with this resolution, to ex-
plain its purpose. Over all sections ol
the State there seem to be complaints OF
the delay in the administration of justice.
The complaint is founded upon the fact
that the strength of the judicial force is
insufficient for the present necessities cl
the times The population has increased
business bas increased, and there has been
no corresponding increase in the judicial
force of the State. Our Supreme Court
is composed of the same number which
composed it as far back as 1872; aud to
elicis an expression from the community
have offered this resolution, SO that the
puolic can reflect upon the matter aud
give us the benefit OF such reflections" "ia

A RUMoR exists to the effect that Mr..
Seward, after all, reserved a getting out
place in case the Senate refused to Tatify
his treaty with Denmark for the purchase
Of the island of ST. Thomas. This is we'll
for, however desirable an extension of ter
ritory in that direction may be considerei,
MIR. Seward should not have taken advan-
tage of medium such as Andrew johnson
presented to foist upon American Repre-
sentatives questions which would almost
certainly be repudiated at the juncture.
Then there is a power still higher which
should be consulted in treaties of purchase.

Enriching the Land.

S. S. Fairfield, Rolling Prairie, Wis,
writes to the Prairie Farmer
AS people, we know but compare
lively little of Manurial Economy. The
careful outstanding of every thing that
can 90 to the enriching of the soil has
received but very little attention, in COM
parison with its Importance. Every item
of MANUFACTURED economy grows daily
more important to the people of the west.
The natural fertility of the soil is rapidly
decreasing, ard our past wasteful II. eth
DDS of farming must be changed, or the
country will be impoverished. The soil
is like bank, it will not always continue
10 honor your checks, unless you make
deposits in proportion to your drafts
If all would make known their expert
ments, in enriching the land, it would
assist aud incite others, and the country
would be largely enhanced in fertility
Here is an item or two, from my own
experience.
About one fourth of an acre in grass,
in moderate condition, produced the year
previous, at the rate of about one ton of
hay to the acre. After the grass got up
fair bite, l commenced lettering a cow
on the land. Tied her to stake, in
creasing the length of the rope as she
fed off the grass, changing the stake
when necessary, to give her good feed,
messed her with the waste of house and
garden. When the grass got too large
to Craze, moved it, and fed her. The
crop off the land, with the grass cut
from the yard about the house, and the
aforesaid waste of kitchen and garden,
kept her in good condition. This shows
how family with little land may sum-
mer a cow. Pardon the digression.--
Now what was the result 4? The fertili-
ty of that one fourth acre WAS SO increas
ed by the halfsoiling process, that it
grew more than double the amount of
grass, the succeeding year.
a fter a crop of corn had been harvest
ed. two cows were tied and fed upon the
ground. changing sufficiently often to en-
sure cleanliness. In this manner, about
/ of an acre was made richer in the short
time after the corn harvest and before fall
rains, so that it produced heavy stock
of corn the next year. Similar repeated
experiments have convinced me that a
large amount of fertility may be saved
BY the proper location of the animals
which is often wasted. Animals roam
inc at large, through woods and over
highways, or placed in yards where their
excrements 90 TO waste from drainage,
evaporation or absorption by the earth,
where it will not feed plants, will not
produce the net profits that they should
produce. The liquid manure from ami
mails is highly fertilizing.

How to XIII a Town.

A late number of the Dubuque Her
aid has the following excellent sugges-
tons:
If you wish to kill off a town, put up
no more buildings than you are obliged
to occupy yourself. If you should acct
dentally have an empty building, and
any one should want to rent it, ask about
three times its actual value. Look at
every newcomer with scowl. Turn a
cold shoulder to every business man and
mechanic who seeks home among you.
Go abroad for wares rather than pur-
chase of your own merchants and manu-
facturers at thu same prices. Refuse to
advertise, so that persons at distance
will not know that any business is being
done in your city. A prompt and close
observance of these rules will ruin any
town in few years.

" The Coming Man.:

Everybody has heard of "The Com
ing Man."
Everybody desires to know who he is,
and whence he will come.
Doubtless he is no other man than
John Chinman, and he will arrive by the
Pacific Railway. :.
He is coming, the almond eyed, bene
ficient stranger, with his pigtail and his
quick, industrious, frugal ways. Make
way for him, Bridget, for when be comes
your occupation will be gone! He is
coming to solve the distracting problem
of the kitchen. John Chinman has a
genius for culinary affairs. Already he
has taken possession Of the kitchen in
California. His views as to wages are
moderate. He does not learn to talk
English much, but is quick to understand.
He can comprehend directions, but is
unable to talk back, and can stand
blowing up" He is steady, dociIe, and
never grumbles. As washerwoman
he excels. Nobody can iron more neat.
ly. He can do miscellaneous family
sewing, and all such little Jobs. He
likes to work, is seldom sick, and does
not get tired. He is almost as dextrous
with his toes as with bis fingers.
Such is the reported character of John
Chinaman. Whether he will pick hops
or not the reports omit to mention. Blu
if he does, the objection that might b.
raised to him is not insuperable. Ovel
in China are four hundred millions o
these people. The population is crow
ded. They will pour their surplus mum
bers into the United States in proportion
to the demand. They are already founc
in all the Pacific States and Territories
They will come bither with the openin,
of the railway to the Pacific. Make wa,
for the Coming Mani
