Heavy Crop Of Corn.

DR.. Nichols, the editor of the Bos-
ton Journal Of Chemistry, in the
last number of that paper, gives an
account Of his experiment in raising
corn, which shows a remarkable do.
gree of success. The crop and field
were both careful J measured and the
result shows that two hundred and
nino bushels of ears have been pro-
ducod to the acre, and the corn is of
the best quality and the field was not
touched bat once, with either culti-
vator or hoe from the time Of plant
ing.
The field was green sward turned
over in the autumn of 1868. occupy
ing position midway between hills
and lowland. In the spring, upon
the burrows were spread four cords of
barnyard manure to the acre, and
this was narrowed in and the soil
finely pulverised with a Geddes har-
row. The hills were three feet apart
and into them at planting was placed
handful of 'bens and ashes," mix
ture, this was covered with a film of
earth, and upon it Eve kernels of corn
were dropped.
We attribute the success of the
crop to the fall plowing manure which
held the liquid excrement of the ami
mails through spring pulvsrization of
the soil, applying the manure to the
surface. and the use of bone and ash
mixture. We believe the influence
of this fertilizer was very essential
in the production of the crop. The
cost of the corn per bushel, including
in the estimate onc-half Of the cost
Of the fertilizers, is forty
five cents. This does not take into
account the fodder, which, in our
view, has high value. The mark

one dollar and twenty-five cents per

Very long the day seemed to Al.
NEE. She sat IN the norning-room,
looking at bc,ks, wondering where
all the ladies we're, and why the few
who came and went never spoke to
her. There we're no luncheon, save
one or two elderly bores. After
wards riding, driving, walking. Al
lee walked, and though the Birch
leigh woods were famous for their
beauty, found it dull work, for her
two friends, Mary Harswood aud
Miss Ashley, were riding, and the
people who walked did not trouble
themselves to talk to her. Then
they came inand had tea, after which,
as aftor breakfast, the ladies van
ishsd, and Aimee was left alone with
tive Of the bores, which so alarmed
her that she fed to her room with
book, and almost cried at the thought
that now she should not soc Sir
Stephen till dinner-time.
The long time of waiting till then
was broken by Mrs. Harewood send
ing for her to her boudoir, and talk
ing to her for some time very kindly.
She went down to the drawing-room
in good time. but, though Sir Stcph-
on was thcro before her, he was talk
ing to an old lady, and could not get
away, much as he wished it. At
dinner they were placed far apart,
and with thick bush between them.
Aimee mentally called it a horrid
thing, and once tried to look round it,
but meeting Sir Stephens eyes en-
deavoring to do the same, she blush
ed violently, and did not repeat the
attempt. A young man little less
stupid than Jack A shley had taken
her in, and they got on pretty we'll.

CHAPTER w.

Aimee, next morning, after writing
to her mother, went to Mary Hare
woods room, and found her not near
ly ready for breakfast. "Do 60
down. she said. Papa is always
fond Of punctual people"
Aimee therefore went down in much
fear. ane made her way to the morn
ing-room, heartily wishing hersolf
out of it when she found it only con-
tainsd MIR. Harewood, Sir Stephen,
and three or four other gentlemen.-
The former came forward at once,
and said cordially, II am delighted
to see one punctual young lady. =
But even that and Sir Stephens kind
greeting did not reassure her much.
aud she stood blushing and looking
lovely as she answered Mr.. Hare
wood in monosyllables, while Sir
Stephen gazed at her with silent ad-
miration.
Only few minutes passed though
they seemed ages to Aimee, and then
Mrs. Harswood entered, and the
small party adjourned to breakfast.
One after another the rest came in,
some looking injured, some sulky;
and as they sat round the table max
ing futile attempts at conversation,
they formed a proof, if proof were
needed, of the superiority of the
French mode of life.
DO make haste, Stephen" Mr..
Hardwood said at last to Sir Steph-
en-, who was dwadling over his break
fast, and deyoting most Of his time
to moody meditation, having been
foiled in his attempt to sit next All

at the thought of the probable deficit
in his bag that day.
Good reason Sir Stephen had, but
he was not able to give it, so be an

saw q cloud Of sorrow pasa over lit
tie face opposite him, and thought
how dear and innocent it was, with
out an idea of hiding any emotion.

The Advance.Pay system.

The country press of the North
west is justly noted for its general
ability, and its great influence upon
the body polite. The editorial pro-
fession is, take it by and large, noted
for its many men Of talents, intelli-
gencc, and culture. 1t Will undoubt-
edly compare favorably with any eth
er profession ia these respects. 1t is
unquestionab!y true, that if you
would put the brains of our North
western editors over against the
brains Of an equal number Of
members Of Congress in the oppo.
site scale, the editorial brains would
outweigh the Congressional pile very
considerably. There isnot, in short,
any doubt whatever, that our news
papers are admirably conducted in
the main, a. powerful engines Of
public opinion-beneficen AIDS Of ed i.
ueation, good government, and pub
lie and private morality.
1t is nevertheless true, that We
have many tip-top journals among
those usually called country news
papers's which languish pecuniarily.
We have too many such which are al
ways in financial difficulties; always
"a little behind Whilst there are
several causes bringing about this
state Of things, there is no doubt
among those who have attentively
considered the subject. that theOhief
cause is to be found in the absence of
the advance-pay system. This sys-
TEN is absolutely essential to success.
1t ought to be the universal rule, as
it already is tho general rule. The
city newspapers long ago adopted it.
They would not send their papers to
the Queen of England without the
stamps in advance. They find the
practice works most admirably. They
could not 1--we at oil under any other
system. Do the country papers sup
pose they have advantages which the
city papers do not have? If 60, they
are very grayely mistaken. In the
second place, many country papers
have adopted the system. ard every
one has found it worked we'll in prac-
tiee. If anything has been demon
strated in the newspaper business i,
is tho necessity Of payment in ad-
vance. ''Inyaribly in advance" is
the only rule that does Or can work
we'll.
We wish the country papers which
have not done so would forthwith ad-
opt the system. They would lose.
at first, few subscribers, but they
would soon get them back and more
too. Such 10 the invariable expert
snes. They would find that Iheir
bills could bs promptly met always,
that the old drag wsuld be removed.

and that prosperity would take Nths
place Of whilom embarra ssmcnt, and
worry, and eternal fret. If every
paper in the Northwest would now
announce that from and. after Apsl
I, 1870, the advance7pay system
would be inflexibly enforced, and
would live upto the snuounce'nen',
there would be then inaugurated

A Coon ONE.-Tn an article upon the pro-
liable scarcity of ice during the next summer,
the Hartford Post tells the following capital
story:
A good many years ago, when ice in sum
mcr was rarity in cities, an unheard ofthing
in tie country, good deacon Of rural
church was charged with having got decided.
" muddled ono 4th Of July in New York.
He was arraigned for his misconduct. With
tears in his eyes he confessed his fault, bu,
pleaded in palliation that il was a prodigious
hot day, and the lemons and ice in the punch
did look so cool and inviting that he couldn',
resist the temptation, and he supposed he did
actually drink to intoxication. A low-brow-
cd brother, on a back seat listened attentively
but incredulously to the defence, and at Its
conclusion rose. "I hain't no objection, "
said he .'to mans getting drunk, if be
owns up to it and is sorry for it; that's a
thing mans liable to, p'raps sometimes he
can't help il; but when the deacon comes In
here and undertakes to excuse himself in any
euch way as that-talking about seeing ice In
July, go for jerkin' hira out for lynn"

WEST VIRGINIA A BOGUS SrArE.-The posi-.
tion of West Virginia is ia peculiar one, and
one that some day will have to be settled by
tie Supreme Court of the United States.
MACK" the Washington correspondent of
tie Cincinnati Enquirer, discourses upon this
subject rs follows:
at does not seem to have occurred to the
radicals during tine recent discussion that
they were making case under which the Su-
preme Court cannot help deciding that West
Virginia is bogus State. Either that or the
reconstruction of Old Virginia is humbug.
The Constitution distinctly declares that no
State shall be divided without it's own con-
sent. According to the terms of reconstruc-
ton Virginia has had no existence rs State
since 1861. If so, she cannot have consented
to the division Of her territory, and if she did
not so consent, West Virginia has no consti-
tutional right to recognition as State. This,
however, is only one of what Mr.. Sumner
would call the constitutional ridiculosities'
of reconstruction-aud by no means the most
important of them either. The whole thing
is "ridiculosity,' which must be set at
neught one of these days by some means or
other. just exactly how it will be done it is
not worth while to discuss till the power to
do it is first given. But there can be no
question in the mind of any reasonable man,
that the whole fabric of usurpatioa which has
been erected by the radical party in the last
five years, will one day be torn down."
