and "roosters, increased lit short intervals by
the explosion Of fire crackers aud lorpedoes and
by the discharge Ut pistols aud guns. The
whole county was aroused by the terrible din
and ears attuned 10 the delicate symphonies
of love must have been shocked by the dlscor-
dant alarm. But strange to state the recipients
of the uuWellcome serenadc, returned good Tor

ADVANTAGES OF HoEING.-As a writer in
Inc Garden remarks too many persons who
use the hoe suppose that the chief benefit de.
rived from il is killing the weeds. That GER
tainly is an important work, and one greatly
neglected. Weeds are not only Ia the wav OF
cultvating the crops which we plant, but they
rob them of much of the nutriment which they
need. Hoeing, then, is an essential service in
respect to destroying the weeds. There are
other advantages, however, which are COM
monty overlooked !. The loosening of the
soil in the operation Ut hoeing is beneficial 10
the plants rs much as the destruction of the
weeds, or more so. z. Moisture abounds n the
atmosphere during the hottest months, and is
absorbed and retained most abundantly by a
soil which is in the most frable state. Prof,
Sehlllber found that 1000 grains of stiff lay
absorbed In tWenty-four hours only thirty-slx
grains Of moisture from the air, while garden
mold absorbed folty-fve grains, and fine mag
nesa absorbed seyenty-slx grains. 3. Then
again, pulverizing soil enables II better 10 re-
lam tile moisture absorbed. 4. The soil, in
order to be healthy and active must breathe.
a light, porous sell admits the air, and thus IL
Is fed and greatly invgorated by the atmos-
pherr. o. The SUMS rays heat hard soil
much more quickly than loose one, and the
hotter the soil is so much greater will be the
evaporation FROM ii. So that the hard soil Ia
deprived Of Its moisture soouer than one of
loose texture. o. The soil that has been
Kept loose near the surface, by the action of
the hoe, will receive aud hold the rain ater
that tails, while hard soil will allow most of
1t to run of into the valleys and streams as II
falls.

CUBAN AFFAIRs.-The negotiations con-
corning the firginius matter were concluded
on Saturday by Secretary Fish and the Spanish
Minister,w who signed protocol which meets the
approval of both Governments. Its provisions
embrace the delivery Of the Virginius and her
surviving crew to the United States; the pun
ishment Of the Spanish officials who have VIC
lated law or treaty siipulations, and also pro.
ceedings. by the United States against the Wiz
ginius and the survivors who have violated
law, If 1t can be shown that she had no right
to carry the American flag or papers. The
matter Of damages is left for future cou

A FEMALE SAVIOUR IN RUSSIA. "A fe.
male Saviour and her apostles are causing a
prodgious sensation III the southern part of Il c
Russian empire. The Russian papers say that
the leader of these women, whose name is
Anastasla Gabacrewicz, claims to have perform
number Of miracles, having made the lame
walk. A vision first revealed to her that she
was the daughter OF God, selected To suffer for
the redemption Of her sex in the same way that
Christ suffered tor tha other. Immediately
after this revelation she gave up eating meat
and drinking brandy, and prepared herself for
her mission. The Holy Lhust then possessed
her and gave hertnr power 10 do wonders with a
me, e word. She f,e:rhdtd TO Tesunect even
the dead by SIMPLY touching them and 50
strong is the tai-h OF lLu ignorant masses in
this new prophecies, that the prison to which
she has been consigned by the authorizes, has
become place of pilgrimage for thousands. s.
The sick are brought from distant localities to
receive the assistance of the inspired woman,
and the keepers receive large bIbes for permits
sion to see her. Every day new stories of her
extraordinary power are circulated far and
wide.

The SIZE OF Our ARNY.-General Sber-
man = annual report is model of brevity.
Its leading feature is statement Of the size
Of the army, showing 25,5 enlisted men
of cavalry, artillery and infantry, and 1870
non-combatants, the whole aggregating 90
555, Or 495 less than the number [30, OOOl
allowed by law. In the active regiments the
number of men sick and on the necessary
details about the posts will fully equal 70
per cent. while the actual strength for mill
tary service does not exceed 1882 men.
ln view of the severe and extensive frontier
duty required of the army, and also with a
view to furnish better system for the re-
ception Of volunteers and militia in time of
a sudden war, such, for example, as might
arise from the Cuba complication, the zen.
eral asks to have the army so increased as
to number 80, 900 men in the line regiments
alone. There is truth in the assertion that
our frontier duty is severe, and the proposed
increase would not be very great; still, un.
doubtedly foreign war would always call
for volunteer organizations, and this method
could not be replaced by the swelling out of
the regular batallions through increased en-
] enlistments in them.

SHORT CROPS ABRoAD.-The most gloomy
and discouraging reports regarding the failure
ofthe harvests in Russia are constantly coming
The misfortune will be seriously felt In that
country, as the failure extends to the southern
portions of the empire which are the most fer
tile.
So great Is the injury that famine Is unavoid-
able in many districts unless relief Is furnished
Immediately, while the extent of the calamity,
as yet can not readily be imagined. Some
idea Of the restitution already existing may be
formed when it is stated that in the district OF
SANTANA alone more than nine-tenths of the pop
ulation are destitute, and 1t is estimated that II
Will require 100000 of ru bles to meet the ex.
igencies. In Odessa an association has been
organized and the intention is to raise several
millions Of rubes to provide food for the starry.
ing
The demand fol- our breadstuiis will be Qrea
| ly accelerated when the reports of the failure
in Russia shall have been officially es
| tablished.
This will be another source from whence
our supply of gold can be recruited, and aided
| by the money which must come to us from
England for the same purpose, the current o
exports will be greatly increased over any pre-
ceding year since the war. Our farmers ms,
console themselves that thesr prospects are no
as bad in the midst Of the stfingency wbicI
has prostraied every other industry as the
| were led to believe.
