An EXCELLENT FERTILIZER.-As
a top-dressing for fruit trees, vines
grain crops, or garden crops of any
sort, on ground, that has been some.
what exhausted by cultivation, the pre-.
paration described below will be found
very useful. 1t would improve the
mixture, however, to add to the ashes
about a peck of good, newly Stacked
lime, which would bring the potash o.
the ashes to caustic state, and enable
it more speedily to soften and dissolve
the bones, which when lime is thus
used, need not be necessary in the alb
sencc of the quicklime. With its use
in this way, and with a sufficiency Of
good unleachcd wood ashes, the bones
which have been merely cracked vi
with the hammer may be easily soften
ed.
Take one barrel of pure, finely
ground bone, and mix it with barre
of good wood ashes; during the mix
ing, add gradually about three pals
full of water. The heap may be made
upon the floor of an outbuilding, OF
upon the barn floor; and, by the use o
the hoe, the bone and ashes must b,
thoroughly blended together. The
water added is just sufficient to liber
ate the caustic alkalies, potash anC
soda ; and these reactupon the gelatin,
of the bone, dissolving the little atoms
forming a kind of soap, and fitting i
for the plant aliment, 1t must be use,
in small quantities, or in about tn,
same way as the so-called super phos
pilates. A barrel of this mixture i
worth any two of the commercial fer
tilizcrs, and the cost will be but abou
half as much. If the bone meal an,
ashes are very dry, four pailsful of wa
ter may be required, but care must b'
exercised not to have il inconvenicntl!
moist. 1t may be ready for use in
week after it is made. Pure, raw, fine

should be employed.-Journat Q

Mr.. Bcccher on the Ku.Ikiuk Law.

Rev Henry Ward Beccher, in the
Christian Union, says;
Z" A party in Congress is still vchc-
montly urging the extension of the
Ku-klux law. The Senate favors il
but the house resis,s. We trust the
opponents of the extension will stand
firm. The worst thing the general
government can do for the establish,
mcnt of order and peace in the South
is to continue to disregard the old safe,
guards of Anglo-Saxon liberty. 1t il
high time that the local self-rule, and
the sacrednoss of the habcas corpus
were ro-ostablishcd throughout Tho

FATHER RYAN's LAST POEM.

Gather the sacred dust
or the warriors tried and true,
VINO bore the Flag of our Nations trust
And fell in the cause, though Lost, still
Just,
And died for me and you.
Gather them one and all!
From Private to the Chief
Come they from hoyel or princely hall,
They fell for us, and for them should full
The tears OF Nations grief
Gather the corpcs strewn
Der many II battle plain.
From many grave that lies so lone,
without naino and without stone,
Gather the southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear is their life-less clay,
Whether unknown, or known, to fame,
Their cause and country still the same
They died-nnd wore the Cray.
Wherever tho brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living, they struggle side by side
Why should the hand OF Death divide
A single heart from heart?
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever IL may rest
Just as they marched to the bloody fray
Just MS they fell on the battle day
Bury them breast TO breast.
The foeman need not dread
This gathering of the brave;
Withoutsword oi nag, and with sound
less tread,
Wemuster once more ourdeathless dead
Out of each lonely grave.
Tho foeman need not frown,
They are all powerless now
We gather them here. and we lay then
down,
And tears and prayers are the only crow
We bring to wreath each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep;
And the men whom Lee and Stonewal
led;
And TIA, hearts that once together bled,
Together still shall sleep.

The Paducah Kentuckian gives the
following account of new steam canal
boatinvented bya gentleman ofthat city
"Nearlyeverybody knows that the swell
and wash of any ordinary steam vessel
is so destructive to the banks of canals
that nothing yet invented has ever
proved at all useful. To overcome this
objection Mr.. Miller has made boat
of singular shape and construction.
The sides are as straight as those of a
fiat boat. The bow is concave-the
water displaced by the boat passing
under it, The propelling power is a
common paddle wheel, located near
the center, the whole Of it above the
bottom of the boat. Water is admit.
ted to the wheel by 12-inch openingin
the bottom of the boat, of the same
width as the wheel. This furnishes
water enough to propel the boat. The
water thrown back by the wheels falls
into sluice way and passes through
the boat to the rear, and drops gently
back into the stream. The principle
seems perfect. The boat, as it glides
Through the water, scarcely discplaccs
the water at all. Mr.. Miller il confidcn,
of success, and after few more expert
ments will 60 to New York and build
two hundred ton boat to show the
practical operation of his invention.

How TO Keep Grapes.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the feafral Las"a
Ag5lept1rta gives the following rules for
keeping grapes:
Place the grape where il will be neither
too dry nor too moist, too warm nor TOO
cold.
Az 10 temperature, the nearer freezing
the better, 80 long as il Is above tFeehng,
Too much moisture will breed mold
and spoil the favor Of those that do not
rot Contact with decayed or broken
grapes will spoil the berries they touch.
Too much warmth, If sir Is not exciud-
cd, win dry the fruit and make raisins,
if the fruit is good enough. If the air is
excluded the fruit will spoil, If too warm
Hence we infer that grapes 10 keep should
not be packed.
Put up the fresh clusters in boxes, two
or three layers deep, upon cotton, paper
or grape leaves between layers, Light
wood boxes are best. Let the size be gov
erned by your own taste. II for market
ing, use those that will hold from two 70
four pounds,
