An elderly lady who was enthusiastically
attached to the science of law and an earn
est friend to lawyers, and who is at pres
emit party plaintiff to more lawsuits than
any other woman in America, not even
excepting Mrs. Mary CLARK. Gaines, has left
the city on tour of business or observa-
ton, going in the direction of Kentucky.
She will probably return at an early day to
attend to and ascertain the result of some
12O suits at law against various persons IN
and about Nashville. The Clerks Of the
Courts, Justices of the Peace, and various
lawyers will await her return with de
gree of solicitude which approaches prln
f1l anxiety. .g.gf

.THE CITY.
Accident.

A little daughter of John Leckey, of the
City Transfer Office, some four or five
years of age, while engaged at play on one
OF the galleries of the City Hotel yesterday
evening, accidentally fell to the floor be-
low, distance of about twenty feet.
Though badly stunned, she was not seri-
ously injured, and as she received every
attention promptly, she will be as well as
ever in a dav or two. hgCa ;1Aof

The CItY PrIson.

There are at present something over
fifty prisoners In the workhouse, and the
number seems to be increasing as the days
grow longer and warmer. The large and
growing force is mainly attributable to 9
scarcity of bank notes with offenders and
their friends. The work of pulveriZing
stone is busily going on at the workhouse
for the want Of something better to do.

The best hills are made with the hoe;
they should be of good size, broad, flat
and a little higher than the level of the
ground about them. When the ground
has been msnured broadcast, pans should
be taken to rake ss much of the top of
the ground where the manure is, into the
top of the hill as possible.
So much tact and good judgment is re-
CURED to prepare land for tobacco, and
there are so many circumstances to cause
the farmer to change and modify his plans,
that after all we can but offer suggestions,
and we believe that "brains" and atten'
ten must ever be the most important ele
ments of success. L. b. X.

Workmen were engaged yesterday In re-

side Of the Capitol.
Matters were very quiet yesterday, both
at the Louisville and the Chattanooga de-
pots. John w. Thomas, Esq who has
been absent, attending the meeting OF
railroad superintendents at Louisville, has
returned to Nashville.
The house building and repairing now
beipg done in the city gives work to
large number of men, and the consequence
is that carpenters, brick-masons, timers,
pIasterers, paper hangers, plumbers, etc,
are as busy as bees, or as busy as they
can be.

In the quo warranto cases that have been

some will contest, among others several of

The first strawberries of the season,
grown in the natsral in Davidson, made
their appearance at the market yesterday
morning. They were of good size and
most delicious flavor, but held at prices
not remarkably moderate.
In the Probate court yesterday Mr..

We are informed that the brother of the

The circumstances connected with the

have had poor luck with the mercan-
tile manures, except land plaster, but
have no doubt they are of great advan
tage when genuine article can be had
and used with judgment. All fine,
well puiverized manures should be
reserved to put in the hill and about the
roots of the plants, while the long,
coarser sorts should be put on broadcast.
The best thing I have found to. use in the
hill is compost of stable manure and
ashes (about one fourth lesched ashes to
three -fourths stable msnure) which seem
to combine well together, and decom-
pose very soon. The stable manure and
ashes may be mixed very conveniently
by hauling the manure out TO the field
and dropping it out in heaps, equal dis
tances apart, and then bringing the ashes
out and throwing them on There ought
to be q little manure about the roots OF
every plant to give it quick start, and
enable the roots to take possession OF
the whole ground. The farmer will save
much time and labor, and make much
finer crops, by pushing the plants from
the first and getting them early in the
barn. The quantity of manure to put in
q hill ranges from J pint to a shove
full, according to quality and strength,
and also to the amount that can be had
the more the better; but 1t will not do to
gut strong stable manure in without mix
ing well with the earth in killing. AL
stable manure should be made very fine
1t will do twice the good and go much
| further than when in Jumps.

Preparation Of the land
Tobacco land should be plowed Gas a
general rule) close and deep, but care
should be taken when the land is thin
that too much of the clay should not be
turned up, and also that the best of the
soil is not buried out of reach of the
plants when they are small, for it is then
the plant most needs help. 1t is best 10
turn rather shallow furrow, with sub
soil pillow to follow. If not subsoiled,
the furrow ought to be deep, and the
ground not turned over much,-'edged, +"
as they say.
Land that has been in clover or ''rest-
ing" any length of time, ought to be
plowed early, if possible, while the yege-
tation is green. To kill the cut worm the
land ought to be plowed in the fall and
crossed in February. No dead grass or
clover should be plowed in after the
middle of winter, for it win be serious
injury to the crop. 1t is much best to
burn off everything which can be made
10 burn. The ashes VIII be worth much
more as fertilizer chan the dead vegeta-
ton, which is worse than worthless.
Land that has been broken in the fall
and winter should not be replowed in the
spring until it is necessary to put on the
manure and prepare Il for the plants.
All the manure which is intended to be
put on broadcast, ought to be made as fine
as possible, and scattered over the land
in as great quantities as the size of your
manure pile win admit of. 1t should be
plowed or narrowed in before it has time
to evsporate or dry I prefer toput It in
vithsene-horse plough, set very shallow.
But l see it is recommended by almost all
scientific farmers that the harrow is best.
A deep stirring of the soil under the
place where the plant win grow may then
be supplied by .slaying Off with two
horse bull-tongue or subsoil plow. The
above preparation is suitable for land
that is mellow and loose, which it
ought to be after the early fallow; but
when the land is close and hard, or very
cloddy, it should be thoroughly pulver-
lied by frequent ploughing.
1t is thought to be good plan to allow
tobacco land to get quite grassy before it
has this last preparation, as it gives the
cut worms chance to get something to
eat and get their growth, when they will
disappear. . 45e $50 z02-e

On the Island of Borneo there has

lures, of which kindred varieties have
been discovered in the Philippine Is
land, in Terra del Fuego and in South
America. They walked unusually, al
most erect on two legs, and in that atti-
tude measure about four feet in height.
They are dark, wrinkled aud hairy.
They construct no habitations, form no
families, scarcely associate together,
sleep in caves or trees, feed on snakes
and vermin, on ants, eggs, and on each
other. They cannot be tanned or forced
to any labor, and are hunted and
shot among the trees like the great go-
rilla, Of which they are stunted copy
When they are captured alive, one finds
with surprise that their uncouth iabber-

beings are men.-Atlantic Monthlv.

Inconsistencies is one of the most
important conditions of good style in
speaking or in writing. There are per-
sons who write we'll and speak badly !;
others who write badly aud speak well
aud few who are equally excellent as
writer's aud speakers. As both writing
and speaking are the expression of
thought through language, this ca acty
for the oae. joined to an ineapacity for
the other, is naturally the occasion of
remark, aud has, | believe, never been
accounted for. think that it will be
found that consciousness, which gener-
ally causes more or less embarrassment
of one kind or another, is generally at
the bottom of this apparent incongruity.
The man who writes in clear and flu
ent style, but who, when he undertakes
to speak, more than to say yes or no, or
what he would like for dinner, hest,
tates, and utters confusion, because he
feels self-conscious by the presence of
others when he speaks, but gives him.
self unconsciously to the expression of
his thought when he looks only upon
the paper on which he is writing. He
who speaks with ease and grace, but
who writes in grabbed, involved style,
| forgets himself when he looks at others,
and is occupied by himself when he is
| alone. His consciousness and his et~
forts that he makes, on the one hand to
throw it off, and on the other to meet
its demands upon him, confuse his
thoughts, which throng and jostle and
clash, instead of mosing steadily onward
with one consent together. Richard
Grant White.
