10 the wake Of Germany. Let our colleges

Give it those ingredients ard 1t won be
long behind the department of manufas>
lures. We can tell whether farmer takes
an agricultural; paper or not, by riding past
his farm in the growing season. There are
some farmers who raise as much again as
others from soil of equal fertility. 1t is
because one works with scientific hand
and the other does not. Farmers, look at
the prices of lumber and other manufactur-
ed products; are they not always more cons
slant and uniform than that of farm pro-
ducts: One reason is, that farmers don t
combine to keep up the price, and another
reason il, that they don't keep themselves
posted on the situation. and spectators
take the advantage. /, is jus. as impor-

New York May 10.
| At the conclusion of District Attorney

! the jury. The accused could not be con-
/ vlcted or acquitted upon the speeches of
the counsel, or convicted upon rrelu dice

! lie policy may demand an example. They
must conscientiously reject eyry fact or cir,
cumstance in the evidence which in their
estimate cannot illustrate the question of
sanity or insanity, or Of malice, or which
does not bear upon the time, place, mode
and act of killing. The state of the domes.
tic relations it was not material for them
to adjudicate. The question was what did
the prisoner believe about them, and how
! did that belief impress his mind, saneIy or
insanely?
The Recorder then proceeded to charge
substantially every proposition OF the coun-
SCI for the defense, upon the subject of in-
sanity, and continued: IF you believe
that.the accused armed himself with loaded
pIstc! end sought out the deceased, and
shot him upon grudee and malice, intend
ing to Kill, be Is guilty of murder IN the
first degree. If, having loaded pistol,
he shot deceased without intent or design
to take life, and in the heat of passion,
then it may be either manslaughter, or
murder 10 the second, third, or fourth de-
gree" The Recorder then charged most
OF the points asked by the defense as to the
| first shooting, viz: that it cannot be taken
as malice unless the prosecution satisfied
them that the shooting was felonious. and
