CoLLAPsE oE THE SYNDICATE. "A spe-
ciaI despntch to the New York JYorld,
dated Washington, October 5, says:
There was considerable excitement
here tonight over statements which are
nhoat relative to the alleged collapse OF
the syndicate. Inquiry in the proper
quarters shows that these rumors were
founded on letter that Assistant Secre-
tary Richardson has written to the Trea-
snry Department, wherein is set forth
the bad condition of the European
money market, and the fearful state Of
American securities there. This letter
requests that the further shipment of
the new bonds to Europe be suspended,
as the syndicate already has 50, 1000, 600
on hand, which cannot be disposed Of
just now. The European subscribers
have sixty days to pay up the amount of
this subscription, but are still slow.
With bat few EXCEPTIONS, none have
paid. In consequence of these advices.
no more of the new bonds will be ship.
ped abroad at present. IF this failure
of the new loan, 80 far as the syndicate
is concerned, should prove true, it would
create q financial muddle in the Treasu-
~ Department. On the strength OF the
sale OF these bonds and the proceeds
which we're consequently forthcoming,
Boutwell, proceeded, as will be remem-,
bered, to call in 100. .0OO,0 of 5.2Os.
Only the syndicate had been recognized
In the transaction, and this step was
taken in consequence of their assurances.
IT the syndicate cannot carry the 70, 900, :
600 which they ordered, and to meet
their own obligations must have recourse
to their subscribers, the fact will soon
comA.. In the meantime. the 1st of De
oember is fast approaching, when the
100, 900, 900 520s called in are to be re-
deemed, and when. in the event Of the
syndioate failure, thore will not be snf1i-
cient funds in the Treasury for that pnr-
pose. The amount of gold now on hand
is only 10000, 900, one-t third Of which
will be required to meet the November
interest, and another third to be kept as
o provision for the January interest.
The law also requires thnt O balance of
30.000,0 ,00O in gold shall always be kept
available for contingencies, which three
provisions absorb the gold balance now
in the Treasury. The best informed
financiers. including certain Treasury off,
oials, do not see where the Secretary can
then realize more than 40, 900, 900 where
by to meet his heavy obligations on the
let Of December. It is stated that the
reasons given by European subscribers
why they do not more rapidly liquidnte
their subscriptions is that the syndicate
did not deal fairly by them; that the
loan was so manipulated when it was
placed upon the market that it COM
manded o premium Of two.and- a half

A NICE LITTLE GAME OF LOYALTY.
Some 200 men have been arrested und
re:nrrcsted, imprisoned and released,
again taken up and sent 800 miles from
their homes to be tried They have lost
their crops by this sixty or seventy days
of persecution, their last dollar is gone,
theif families, are at the point of star"va-
ton. they are threatened with years Of
pbnitentiary life and impossible lnes, if
they do not make full confession.
What wonder is it that the poor harnssed,
bedeviled prisoners swear exactly what is
required of them. So they make uny
oath that Phillips and Bond tell them is
necessary for their acquittal. Bond does
not even pretend to disguise his parti-
sanship. In open court he says to Phil
lips, the prosecutor, "we can get along
without that evidence, or 1--WE need that
testimony" thus boldly allying himself
with the proseoutionl A gentleman
from Rutherford had private interview
with Bond and told him that to his GER
lies had been sworn to. "That is probn-
ble," replied the loyal Judge; '.when
men turn States evidence, all courts
look with distrust upon what they say. I"
The gentleman replied: "Unfortunately,
it is upon just such evidence as this you
have convicted those unfortunate pri-
soners"
Phillips, by his over bearing bullying,
and blood-thirsty zeal. has endeared
himself to the loyal soul, and his reward
is certain. Bond, the protector of the
brigand Burgen, has made himself the
Jeftreys of our model administration, and
right royal honors will be showered on

Dog FeHueI.

A correspondent of the Memphis appeal
writes the following in relation to this
common nuisance. We hope that farmers
may find the suggestions of the correspon-
dent valuable, but we are rather tempted
to believe that there must have been some
thing besides the dog fennel to induce the
horses to devour it, either extreme hunger
or the salt that was sprinkled over it, as
we have known even brackish dirt eaten
by horses that have been long without salt:
"There is wild weed, known as the dog
fennel, that grows on almost everybody's
land, and on all ground turned out to rest
and regain its strength from having been
long in constant cultivation. There is
enough of this weed growing in the SUI
burbs of Memphis, if cut, cured and baled,
to make hundreds of bales. Nothing will
touch ii in its green state, and consequently
it is looked upon by the people generally
as a useless growth and a nuisance. This
weed, when cut, cured and sailed, is an
elegant feed for horses they are very fond
of it. 1t contains great substance and is
not only food, but good tonic. 1t is
known to the medical fraternity as the
wild camomile, and it is said that tea made
from it is one of the best remedies for fluX.
Let every farmer cut his dog fennel, cure
it, sprinkle it with salt, feed his horses on
it, and thereby save and keep hundreds of
dollars at home heretofore paid for feed
brought from other States.n

Cost Of A Small Cheese FACTORY.

AS there are doubtless many of our read
ers interested in this branch of farm indus
try, we take from a temporary the follow
ing estimate of the cost of a small cheese
factory, such as a farmer nigh erect alone,
or such as might be established by several
together, forming ajoints stock company
the patrons furnishing the milk talking
most of the stock:
''For 100 cows, building 60 by 26 feet,
with 16 feet posts, making it two stories,
would be required. Take "a feet from the
lower story for 'make-room,' leaving the
remainder and the upper story for curing
rooms The upper story should be parti-
toned the same as the lower. The 24-foot
room over the 'make-roon' should be plas-
tered and furnished with stoves suitable for
curing early and late cheese. The cost de-
ponds upon the price of lumber and labor,
which differs in localities. A rough, sub
stantial building, which will answer in
every respect in most localities, would cost
81 900. II finished with paint, ect., 81 300.
1t could be furnished with vat, tank, pres
SEES, hoops, scales, ETC., for $500, making in
all 81, 800 for rough building and 81 900 for
the finished one. For 200 cows, the same
sized building would answer. For vat and
fixtures, $500, making in all 81 800 for
rough, and 81 800 for finished building.
This is the sile of many that were built in
this State this season."

Uses OF Ashes.

Dry, clean wood ashes are richly worth
twenty-five cents a bushel, we think, to
any farmer who wants more manure. You
can scarcely use them on any crop without
very sensible results. y handful thrown
around the corn plants at the first hoeing
will greatly increase their growth, and
give them a highly dark green color. Scat
tered in the hill before the potato is COW
cred, or about the hill just before hoeing,
will have similar results, Sown broadcast
on the moving fields at the rate of as small
an amount as five bushels to the acre. will
greatly increase the growth and color of
the crop. Besides this, their beneficial re-
suits will continue for several years in sue
cession. Strewed over young cabbage
plants, squashes, melons, or any. of the
garden vegetables, such as tomatoes, beets,
onions, turnips or carrots, wood ashes not
only tend to disturb the insects that infest
the plants, but has a decided influence on
their growth and quality. All the ashes
made on the farm should be collected with
care, kept dry, and applied to the crops
Nothing could be better for the young or
chard. Spreading ashes broadcast over the
surface would be more useful than as a
mulch for the trees. The roots will soon
find it if spread. Ii is better to use amod-
crate quantity annually, than TO apply a
large amount at one time.
Ashes may be safely used in composts of
loan, muck, straw, or dry fibrous materi-
ais they would tend TO reduce them. If
in composts, where the droppings of cattle
are n portion of the material the ashes
should be applied Immediately before the
compost is to be used-and the compost be
slightly covered by the soil. The easiest
and best way, however, Is to apply ashes
