Wild Beasts I'm India .

A report of the war waged in the
Province of Bengal against the wild
animals and snakes, has recently been
sent in to the East India Government,
and similar report in reference to
alligators has been sent in from the
Province of Madras. One alligator in
one district had, during one year, des-
troyed one man, thirteen head of cattle
and fourteen buffaloes. The Madras
Government pays s25 for each alligator
over eight and a half feet long, killed
by the hunters. In the Bengal district
over $15, 000 were expended in short
time for the destruction of poisonous
snakes, although only six cents were
paid for each. In Behar, the wolves
are very troublesome, particularly as
the people are superstitously opposed
to killing these animals, believing that
any village where a VOLTS blood is split
will be affected by i'll luck. Inanother
Province herds Of wild elephants have
been ravaging the country for two years,
inconsequence of adherence of opinion
between the respective authorizes, as to
their powers to raise forces for the pro-
lection Of the people.

WILLIAMSON Co., Texas, Jan. L
Ammonia-Top Dres.Ing

Mr.. w. H. Sotham, of Detroit, in no.
ticing the operations of Mr. VIM Smith,
Oh his farm in Waynecounty, Michigan,
where ten miles of cedar posts are built
and fifteen miles of tile drain laid down,
says:
was much gratifed to find that my
theory and practice were well sustained
on this farm. Mr.. Smith showed me a
field of grass, partly cut and partly un-
cut, about half of which was dressed
with barnyard manure and its liquors /;
the other was left to its own culture.
The half dressed, Mr.. Smith estimated
at three tons per acre, while that not
dressed cut but little over ton-both
being in a similar state previously.
This was guesswork, but the contrast
was truly great.
You remember that the noted Leibig
considered ammonia almost the only
fertilizer in manure. My experience
taught me differently. [ have long con-
sidered ammonia decaying agent, and
that it never enters the plant at all ex-
cept to destroy it. 1 admit, that the
more you can get of it into the soil, the
more you release the fertilizers that are
in it. and when you put it in, in the
shape of guano and other artifcials oi
the same nature, they rob the soil of Its
fertility to support the crop, leaving il
sterile for the following one, and if such
system is long pursued, farewell te
good farming.
Some fifteen years ago, a letter OF
mine appeared in the Mark Lane Ex-
press, published in London-a paper,
suppose, which has greater and
wider circulation than any other agri-
cultural paper in the world. It was co
pied into several agricultural papers in
this country and in England-the doc
trine being 50 different from that pre-
viously taught by Leibeg.
He, full of wrath at my supposed ig
norance, pounced upon me like "iht
hon upon the ;amb," and said, If the
try would be ruined, and Immediately
advised all farmers to put an expensive
covering upon their manure heaps tt
keep the ammonia confined there
This example was followed throughout
much of England, and every man wal
anxious to save the ammonia who un
I derstood the meaning of the word Lei
beg had ordered it, and it must be so
About three years afterward Leibigl
opinion changed. The mystery of sucf
heavy crops from top-dressing, where
all the ammonia escaped, was q puzzle
to him, and by some scientific knowl
edge Of his own, he found out tina
ammonia was not the fertilizer he hat
represented it to be, and he wrote al
apology to the Mark Lane Express TO
his abrupt contradictions to me.
The covering of manure-heaps is nov
dispensed with. and ammonia is al
lowed free access In the air after it ha
done its duty in decaying the comr ost
heap.

Astonishing Skating Feat.

On the 23 inst. three Newburghers,
name respectively Charles F. and
George June and Gilbert Carpenter,
skated from Newburgh to Albany, q
distance of 100 miles, in seven hours
and five minutes skating time. From
Newburgh to Poughkeepsie, distance
sixteen miles, they found the ice very
rough, and were one hour and fifty
minutes skating that distance. From
Hyde Park to Catskill, forty miles, the
ice was in a SPLENDID condition fol
skating and ice-boating, and they made
that distance in two hours and half,
or an average of sixteen miles an hour.
Just before reaching Castleton they
found the ice to be very rough, and
were compelled to cross and recros:
the river several times. On the las
mile of the one hundred Charles F
June made "spurt, and skated it in
three minutes and one second. Tht
feat is believed to be without parallel
in the history of skating on the Hud

A CHINESE SERVANTS EsrIMATB OF
CARDs.-There is good story told in
Washington about a Chinese servant
employed by Admiral Porter, that on
reception day the duty of attending
the door was assigned to All Sin. Ac-
customed to the social usages of his
own land, where visitors rank is in
dicated by the size of the card, and
where huge yellow one means the
presence of a prince, he treated the
little bits of pasteboard with con-
tempt. While nodding his head and
tossing the bits of paper uncermonious-
ly in the basket, the gas collector hap
pened to present his bill. The long,
yellow slip took All Sin. With pro.
found salaams he bowed the astound-
ed gas-man into the presence of the
amazed family

ANOTHER THEORY DOUBTED. Charles
Dickens, it has been repeatedly stated,
was victim to some extent of too vio-
lent and persistent exercise, and every
body who has got himself out of bed at
an untimely hour in the morning, "to
get the fresh air" or for some other
nonsense, remembers with bitter feel
ings against the one who advised him
to do SO, the exhausted state which re-
suited from his experiment in the latter
part of the day. The New York Lead.
er has labored article to show that
exercise is not necessary to good
health, and proves it position by some
remarkable examples. "Louis Napo-
leon, /" it says, was close shut up in
Ham fve years, and all the time was
svulgarly healthy while since he has
been confined in Williamshoe he has
had fat time of it, and was never
tetter."

ALICE caRY,s swEErEsr POEM

No apology is needed at this time for reproducinl
he following exquisite lines by the lamented Alic,
Cary--iines which, in the Judgment Of 50 competen
very finest contributions to the poetic literature Of
his country:
OF all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one Of dim old forest
That seemeth best of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below,
Not for the milk white hlies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coqueting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the viaes ON the upland
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sweet cowslip.
1t seemeth to me the best.
once had q little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that olden forest
He heth IN peace asleep:
Light ~ the down Of the thistle,
Free a. the winds that blow,
We rOved there the beautiful SumrDere,
The Summers Of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one Of the Autumn ewes
/ made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
MY neck m q meek embrace,
A the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows Of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops brixAt
He fell, In his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of hight.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang ON Mcmory's wall
The one of the dim old forest
Seemeth best OF al.

Sad Accident in China--Many Lives Lost.
Hong Kong (Dec. 13l Correspondence of the New

Sad Accident i'm China--Many Lives Lost.
Hong Kong (Dec. lsl Correspondence of the New
York Times
An accident at Canton has attracted
considerable attention among the native
population. The foreign settlement of
Shameen is built on an artificial island,
separated from the mainland bya canal,
across which two or three bridges were
built by the British engineers, under
whose supervision the island was filled
In. A few days since Chinese house
on the native side of the canal caught
fire, and two fire engines took up their
position ON one of these bridges, the
better to command the burning build
ing. The bridge was crowded with
natives working at the engines with
considerable zeal and effect, when sud-
denly, without moments warning, the
trestlework gave way, and engines and
men were precipitated into the canal.
Some we're crushed beneath the engines,
and many more beneath the huge tim
bers of the structure, while others were
drowned before help could be extended
to them. It is computed that there
were from eighty to one hundred per-
sons on the bridge when it collapsed,
a few of whom escaped with their lives.
Eighteen corpses only have thus far
been recovered, but several yet remain
beneath the debris at the bottom of the
canal The fabric having been con-
structed by British engineers, advan-
tage is, of course, taken of the fact by
the anti-foreign agitators of the city,
and considerable il-feeling has, in con-
sequence, been manifested, though
happily, as yet, confined to words.

IT appears that the number of can
non delivered after the capitulation by
the Paris authorities to the Germans,
having fallen short by four of the num-
ber officially reported, the missing ones
were demanded. An answer was re-
turned that there had been mistake in
the count. The Germans refused to
accept the explanation, and four new
cannon are being cast to make up IT,
