A CUBAN CONSPIRACY.
Discovery Of the Plans of the
Junta i'm Canada.
ENLISTING CANADIANS As REVOLUTIONISTS.
Tho Spanish Authorities and the Dominion
Government Pcrplexed.

MONTREAL, August 10, 1872.
DR.. Laprohon, Spanish Vice Consul at this place,
was yesterday put in possession Of Information
which led to the discovery Of o widespread organi-
Eation for the enlistment OF volunteers for the
revolutionary army in Cuba in this country.
Last winter an attempt was made ct enlist
ment, and q few men were sent to the
United States to join an expedition there. The
afair was found out by the authorities and checked
before 1t had gone to any considerable length. The
agents. however, remained safely concealed in the
country, and, being reinforced from the United
States, soon formed an organization which had
manifestations in all the principal cities and towns
to tho east Of this.
Having lately so slgnally failed In their attempt
to send men and stores from the United States the
Junta in New York seemed to have turned their at
tention to Canada, whose long and I'M
guarded coast offers innumerable opportuni-
ties for their enterprise. The scheme which
has been discovered contemplated the enlistment
of men In the principal cities Of the Dominion and
concentrating them ct some place on the Bay Of
Fundy. A vessel had been chartered to be in at
tendance at the rendezvous sometime next month,
and was to have taken her cargo out to meet
Cuban cruiser at point further south, where they
would have been transhpped.
large number Of recruits have been made in
Montreal st, John and Halifax and 1t will now re-
quire great energy and watchfulness the part Of
the Dominion authorities to prevent the carrying
out of the undertaking. So far as can learn, the
information was first given by man who had
formerly been employed In recruiting, and was
well acquainted with all the workings Of the Or
ganization. The whole matter has been put in
the hands OF the Dominion authorities, and an In
vestigatton has been begun.

A case was tried in 1857, i'll which Gen.
Sherman, who then resided on farm In

The iolly old Justice came into court and

lank, lean-looking genius who stopped a
string of cattle and a log-wagon in the street,
and stuck his wip, with twelve-toot iash'
behind the door, appeared for the defense;
Gen. Sherman delivered his arguments and

Mistake in the Use Of Fertilizers.

The,eause of failure in the use of concen-
trated Fertilizers is often due to the manner
in which they are applied. 1t is difficult
for those who have been accustomed to use
bulky nanures to realize that the full ferti-
lizing potency Of bushel of animal excre-
ment may be held in large tablespoon, and
that handful of the one adds to plant struc-
lures as decidedly as several shovels full of
the other. A full doce ofopium given to
patients furnishes quite dark, bully powder,
or pill fbut if we separate the alkaloidal
principle upon which its hypnotic powder
depends, We. have only little white powder
which 4 breath Of wind may blow away.
The one-eight grain powder will effect the
human organism as powerfully as ten times
the weight of opium. If we,are SO forget
tul of ,s7teneies" as to administer as much
Of the We concentrated powder as of the
bulky dsTE one, we destroy our patients
life, orSat least do great injury to his health
So, in the use of genuine Superphosphate, or
Guano, .or Ground Bones and Ashes, we for
get their power, and apply too much, or ap-
plying,them directly, we endanger the life Of
our plants
An experiment made upon corn furnishes
an illustrative case in point. At the time Of
planting upon field divided by q narrow
strip of sward land we directed that on one
side tablespoonful of the mixed Bone and
Ashes should be placed in each hill, and we'll
covered with the soil; upon the other, four
rows were to be treated similarly, and upon
the remainder, the hills should receive o
double-quantity. 1t was curious to observe
the effect. The first field and four rows were
remarkably thrifty. Thecorn' came up we'll
and manifested remarkable vigor from the
start
On the other hand the over .dosed corn ap-
peared.for long while as if paralyzed by
some wasting disease. 1t could not bear up
so much fagood thing. More fire ammonia
was formed at the start than could be appro-
priated by the tender plants, and many Of
them perished from over-stimulation and
heat produced by the Preventative changes
and the active bodies in contract. The corn
that survived grew finally and afforded large
yield. s
Nov, if this had happened in the course
of ouriegular Agricultural labors, and with
out any understanding of the fertilizing sub
it is probable it would have been
condemned as worthless article, This has
been tho case with hundreds ofexperiments,
and, indeed, it has a natural conclusion to
reach. But we must learn to reason, learn
to have patience, learn the character Of the
substance we employ upon our lands We
mustbe careful how We reach conclusion;
to 500 e It -hasad
on correct grounds There are well estab-
lished principles in Agriculture, let us cling
to thcms and when we get results that are
puzzling ,or paradoxical, we must study
causes, and not Judge hastily.-Erchange.

STRANGE EFFECTS OF VINEoAR.-!n
Washington, few days since, the landlady
of certain clearinghouse in that city sent
out for gallon of vinegar. The servant
brought back the jug, and the cruets were
filled with the supposed vinegar. At din
ncr, the landlady preceived that her guests
were using the vinegar (?) pretty freely, and
she was compelled to have the cruets filed
several times The vinegar () had very
strange effect. The ladies began to chatter
like magpies, and some of the younger ones
began to tell oflove scenes. The ladies looked
decidedly spirituello, though their tongues
ratified as fast as sewing machines. The
gentlemen grew spirited, and talked with
yehemence and volubility. Several mem
bcrs of the legislature were present, One,
imagining himself in the representative
hall. cast his eye on the youthful wearer Of a
blond chignon, and addressed her as "Mr.
Speaker! call the previous question" Up
on an examination Of the jug, the so-called
vinegar proved to be corn whiskcy.
