LONDON, August 15.-In the House of
Commons to-day, Vernon Harcourt made a
violent attack on the government for the
use it had made of the royal brerogative on
the purchase question. t-t
Mr. Gladstone replied that seeing the
amount of unfinished business before the
House, he should decline to enter upon any
controversy upon the subject He thought
it was the duty of the House to settle the
question whether a practice so adverse to
law, and so fatal to the national interest,
should be continued
Faucet denounced the employment of
the royal warrant. He preferred con-
than own its abolition to such an abuse of
the prerogative.
The Attorney.General defended the ap-
plication of the royal prerogative in this
case, but he added that the Queen had
practically announced her resolution never
again to interfere.
A consolidated fund bill was introduced,
and was received with vehement cheers as
heralding the close,

BosToN, August 15.-The centennial an
niversary birthday of Sir Walter Scott was
appropriately noticed at meeting of the
Massachusetts Historical Society to-day.
New YORK, August 15.-The founda-
ton of the Scott monument was
laid in Central Park to-day. The cele-
bration was general throughout Canada.
Patrolmen were placed along all sides of
the city railroads, in citizens clothes, with
instructions to arrest every intoxicated per-
son riding in the cars
During the addresses at the Scott centen-
NAL celebration, Mayor Hall spoke as fol-
lows:
You have placed the foundation stone for
monument to him whose magic pen reyivi.
fed the traditions and history of Scotland,
and made him the real monarch Of her long
bne OF romance. No longer can the Amer
lean metropolis be reproached for not MEM
orializing Scott. Our municipal traditions
show that from his earliest inspired min
strelsy to his last prose, from his
youth of chivalric ambition to his
age of almost incarnate fortitude,
New Yorkers listened fondly to bis every
lay, explored every realm of fancy which
he created or peopled, and rivalled even
Scottish men in enthusiasm for his private,
public and professional career.
1t is fitting, then, that you should allow
New York, through its representative, to
now participate in this ceremony, and to
pledge her holiest care of your bountiful
private memorial upon the public site.

an Grafton by John Ainslie, Esq, the
Scottish games and dancing were kept up
until q late hour.

The New Hampshire Unitarians, at their
recent convention, passed resolutions con-
demning the practice of raising money for
religious and other purposes by means of
raffles and similar methods, as being in
plain violation of correct principles of
morality, and also of the laws of the State
concerning lotteries.

An Indiana man has effected strategical
combination against the potato bugs. He
planted grain of corn in each hill of pota-
toes. The corn came up before the pota-
toes, which, of course, cheated the little
pests into the belief that it was cornfeld,
and they never went near the potatoes until
it was too late to do damage.

Applying Manure.

There is one question that would like
have you decide for me when and how
to apply manure to land :? ] am in dairy
country, and the way most farmers apply
it is to draw it out in the latter part of
winter, or early spring, and spread on
grass stubble and then pillow it under from
four to eight inches deep, according
to their belief in shallow or deep blowing
The land is sowed to oats or planted to
corn or potatoes. Now, my theory Is that
when it rains it carries the strength down
with it, so they lose from one fourth to
one half of all the manure that is thus ap-
piled. think there is no crop. that we
raise the roots of which go deep enough
to reach the manure-that is not much of
It.; and when they plow that up again the
strength has gone down with the rain.
Ny way is, to pillow the land first and
then put the manure on and harrow it In,
If put on plowed land If on meadow,
spread ON in early spring on the latest
seeded piece. That ground is mellow, and
when it rains 1t carries the manure down
around the young roots, and the result is q
heavy crop of grass. 60
a. have had a number OF arguments with
my neighbors; they cannot see it as do;
If am wrong, I viii give in. Please let
me hear from you.-JAMEs HARRIS,
Ch0utnu97ta Co., NJ y ,rw
You are right, unless the soil is a very
stiff clay, and the manure is coarse, and
the mechanical effect upon the soil Is of
more importance than the manurial.

SUMMER PIONEERING BULBs.--Lilies,
Gladioluses and Tuberoses, are the summer
Towering bulbs most common in cultiva-
ton; and if persons only knew the ease
with which they can be grown, they would
be still better known. The seedsmen ad-
vertise summer bulbs in their seed cata-
logues, and hardly any lover of flowers
should not be planted in the open ground
until all danger of frost is over. Tuberoses
do best if started in pots, about the first of
April. A good, rich, fine soil is best suited
TO their growth. Plant the bulbs two feet
apart, and tie the flower stalks to stakes.
