Mr.. George e. Prace:
DEAR SIR Il am pleased to answer your en-
quries in regard to my experience with the Phos-
pilates, as L have used them for the past four
years, including the principal leading varieties
sold in this section, and generally with good re-
neighbors' operations, lead me to give decided
preference to Baugh's, which has, I think, peeu,
lar merit in its application to Grass Last fall
1 induced to try other varieties to the neg
loss, and for the future shall use it alone, as
am satisfied it is the BEST. My father gives it
the preference over all others. c 4as -. rad az
The durability of the effects of Baugh's is we'll
seen In the field of neighbor. where five years
ago it was used by the side of Peruvian Guano.
The effect of Baugh's over the Guano is well and
distinctly marked to the present time, and will
doubtless continue so for many years. The ef-
fects of the latter have entirely disappeared.

of this Guano is materially improved this season
by the addition to its composition of a large

1t is improved in condition by being brought

More than ST. 600, 600 is involved in the pro-

The Pacific Guano Company has far greater

hence no apprehension need exist as to its con-

A certain political speaker was addressing a

hemently against prescription of foreigners,
when his eye fell upon little German Jew, a
peddler of ready made clothing, who seemed
to be very much impressed with the argument
OF the orator. greedly swallowing everything
he uttered. This was too good an opportunity
not to make the best of, and looking the ped
dler full in the eye, be exclaimed:
"Furrlner, didn't you come to this country
to escape from the tyrannical, down-trodden
and oppressed of Europe? Didn't you fee to
these happy shores to live in land of freedom,
where the great right Of suffrage is guaranteed
to all didn't you, furriner?''
:, He paused for a reply, when the little ped
dler squeaked out:
NO, sir; !! comes to dis country to sell sheep
ready-made clothing
The astonishment of the orator, and the
shouts of the multitude, cannot be described.
This finished the harangue.

FuMURE OF MEMPHIs.--The two Boards OF
Cotton Brokers were in session yesterday on a
grindstone at Dennison x Orgilfs corner.
They concluded that the cotton market was as
bare as the cityi dull. now that the Confer
ence has subsidized and the election wiped out
the last of the Mohnwks and Jayhawkers. II
was agreed that the money market would be
easier benceforth and forever. because vast
sums hitherto appropriated by adyenturers
will no more be sent abroad for Investment.
The arrival Of iron for the Little Rock road
infused share of joy, and the two Boards
contemplated the shadows cast by dense for
ests on the Arkansas shore far into the Mis-
sissippi. The sun was going down, and they
said dreamily that the day was not distant
when all that broad alluyial plain would be
striated with canals, when Crittenden and
other river shore counties would become an
other Holland-rich in its cities, matchless in
productiyeness. and filed with all the splen-
doris of boundless wealth. They contemplated
the good time coming. when the redemption
Of the lowlands of,the Mississippi from over
flow would add cotton States to the Union and
make this the chefest central city on the CON
tinent. They spoke of the conveyance at this
point Of all great railway lines from the Gulf
States. drawn hither by the Union Pacific
road. ofwhlch that from Kansas City to Mem
phis must constitute an integral part. They
said that the proposed combination Of all these
Southern and Southwestern roads would be
ultimately effected for the purpose of extend
ing the Little Rock road into Texas. that there
may be shorter line ina more genial cline to
the Western ocean. The sun went down gid
ing with sheen Of purple light the surface of
the broad river, and the Board adjourned
