MATTERS At THE TOMBS.

Smiling and Happy.
The excitement about the escape OF Snarkey
seems to have entirely died away around the pre-
cncts OF the TOmbs. Mrs. Allen and Maggie Jour-
dan Still remain in the female prison, and are
themselves to circumstances as
best they possibly can. Keeper Lawrence Philips
and Maggie Jourdan left the Tombs yesterday,
about quarterpast ten, in charge OF an officer,
to go before the Court OF Oyer and Terminer.
They were brought back in a carriage about twelve
O'Clock Maggie was smiling and happy, and was
accompanied by Sharkey's brother John. She
passed through the crowd at the ront entrance,
bowlng right and left to keepers, officers and
others, giving each pleasant good morning.
Just as the front gate was closing on her she
reached out her hand to Sharkey's brother saying.
Keeper PhnipS looked very much downcast and
passed within the gate without saying word TO
any one.
No new evidence was obtained in the case yester
day, the investigation being left altogether now Ii
the hands OF the District Attorney The Commits
sioners have issued specific instructions to Warden
Johnson to allow visitors without pass signed by
one OF the Board, and 1t Is understood tnat these
passes are to be given only to immediate rela-
tIves Two new Keepers William Sterling, OF No.
265 West Fifteenth street. and William Fletcher. OF
No. $50 West seventeenth street, were appointed
yesterday AS to the removal OF Warden Johnson,
botn the Warden and Commissioners dlsclalm any
knowledge OF any Thing OF the kind.
The Habeas Corpus Wrfts.
There seems to be slow progress in reaching
conclusion as to the writs Of habeas corpus
granted by Judge Barrett of the Supreme Court
on the day succeeding the escape OF Sharkey, In
the case OF Maggie Jourdan, Mrs. yves" Allen
and Lawrence Philips, the keeper, the alleged &C.
completes in the escape. They were brought for a
second time yesterday before Judge Davis at the
Court of Oyer and Terminer. One thing Is very
evident, that tney are not wanting IN counsel TO
detect any possible legal loophole OF escape rom
the very unpleasant predlcament In which this
affair has placed them.
Assistant District Attorney Lyon moved that the
been found against them. He insisted that for this
Court on the present writs OF habeas corpus.
Mr. Beach repned that he had been informed
that Mr.. Howe had sent out writs or certOrari,
which brought the original depOsitions taken be-
fore the police magistrate into this Court and on
which he proposed to move a reduction OF bail in
the case OF Maggie Jourdan.
Judge Davis asked II the indictments had been
flied.
Mr.. Lyon answered that they had not, but that
they had been ordered by the Grand Jury to be
filed.
Judge Davis said that the matter would have to
stand over till the indictments were brought into
Court.
Mr.. william F. Howe suggested that Philips
could only be held for misdemeanor, and that he
desired to move q reduction OF bail in his case.
After some further discussion Judge Davis
ordered the matter to stand over till tomorrow,
and meantime he directed the prisoners to be re.
manded.

from taxes of 1S74-a sum amply sufficient
to psy all other liabilities Of the State for
the year. This leaves out of view the pro-
bahle increase of taxable property under
our new assessment law.
Mr.. Speaker, this bill ought to psss-Ten-
nessee should by all means meet her
solemnly assumed, legal obligations. A GREAT
State like ours-with limitless resources and
an intelligent, proud, honest and erterpris-
ing citizenship, ought not to sickle over dol
lars and cents when her integrity and honor
are at stake. Tennessee, in peace aud in
war, has always maintaineda good reputa-
ton, let her not tarnish it now by meaply
refusing to meet her liabilities and foolishly
setting up her plea of sovereignty to escape
the just and legal claims of her creditors.
Let us speak out in bold words to all the
world our firm determination to pay our
debts in good faith and thus raise our
own credit and the credit of all our corpor-
atoms. to the certain end, that we may
move on in the direction Of high and
glorious destiny to be achieved only by an
honest policy.

FARM AND GARDEN.
sEAS0NABLEHINTS.

Spring is busy season with farmers, in
blowing, seeding, hauling and spreading
manure, repairing fence, pruning apple trees
and others, opening bitches, making garden
and taking care of stock that has just come
out of hard winter. Sheep will have
ticks, perhaps the scab, and need attention.
Give them sulphur and meal with their
salt. Purchase the flour of sulphur by the
quantity to kill lice on hogs, calves, grown
cattle, colts and other horse stock. For
many years the writer has fed sulphur in
meal and salt to drive of, and keep off all
parasites. These pests do more injury on
The farm to animals and plants, than is gen.
orally supposed. The cotton aphis is now
destroying for the writer one of the best
apple orchards in the old county of Knox.
The blight insect has killed a number of
valuable pear trees, and the same place and
Others are soon TO share he sane fate.
Grapes are subject to mildew, and other
enemies that produce rot. busting with
sulphur, and shelter from cold north and
west winds, with proper culture and drain
age, are the best preventives known to us.
In spreading manure in field or garden,
hired men are apt to leave it too much in
Jumps. 1t should be broken fine, distribu-
ted evenly, and thoroughly mixed with the
soil, unless spread on meadow or pasture.
Search closely for fertilizers in the spring.
That from the chicken house is best, pound
for pound; that from the garden house
next. Bones and ashes from which soap
has been made, have great value to spread
over all the roots Of fruit trees, or to inn
prove garden or grass plat. Good hard
wood ashes are worth from 20 to 40 cents
bushel for manure for Irish potatoes or
meadow. In Massachusetts they are esti-
mated at fifty cents bushel for sgricultu-
raj uses. Bones boiled in strong lye, fall
to powder and form a good manure
with the potash in the lye. This may be
mixed with rotten manure or Zine loan
and drilled in as commercial fertilizer.
Good farmers at the North buy all the
bones and ashes they can purchase to i'm
prove their lands. We need in Tennessee
vastly more of the salts that make wheat,
corn, cotton and tobacco; and farmers
should have clubs 10 every county to devise
ways and means to obtain these salts from
Charleston, South Carolina, or some other
seaport. Our farms all need a restitution
of things that make the staples exported.
A soil that gives bone-earth in crops must
have bone earth in return. All fruit trees
need scraping with hoe, and whitewashing
with lime to Kill insects.

WHEAT THLERING.

Now that wheat is worth two dollars
bushel or more in Tennessee, it is well to
study its possibilities and probabilities as an
agriculture staple. A correspondent Of the
Country GeatyanGn says:
some of the marvels of the wheat plant is
that known as tillering. Il is the secret OF
its great produciYeness. Many expert
mente have been m.de TO ascertain the
limits of this faculty, and the results have
been truly wonderful. An English gentle
man soWed few grains Of red wheat, June
z, one OF the plants of which had filtered SO
much by the eighth of August that he then
divided it Into eighteen others, all of which
were planted separately. In few weeks
so many of these had again multiplied their
stalks, that he had set out 81 altogether to
90 through the winter. With the spring
growth all these began tillerlDg, SO that IN
March and April a new division was made,
and the plants increased to 500. 1t was be-
lieved that another division might have
been made, and that it would have increas-
ed the number TO 1000. The 500 grew
most vigorously, exceeding plants as ordi-
nary cultivated. When harvested, a single
plant yielded over 100 ears, and the whole
number of ears produced was 21,l09, or
more than 40 to each divided plant; the
grain measured 81 pecks, weighing 47a TBS.
All this was said TO be the product OF
single grain of wheat"
We confess the above statement appears
incredible; while We know from personal
experience in dividing wheat and several
ullering grasses, that plants may be multi
piled almost Indefinitely in the manner in
dicated. By dividing their underground
stems (stolons) we have produced from one
a thousand separate growing plants of the
pod cOmpreSSa "a species Of blue grassy in
ten months, in Georgia. Bermuda grass
can be extended quite as rapidly. When
Isaac, the son of Abraham, raised 100 fold
of wheat in Pale:tine, it is more than prob
able that be divided the punches of young
plants as they filtered or multiplied stems,
or stalks, at the root. Onions, and per-
haps all bulbs, multiply in similar man
ner. Our wheat in East Tennessee is
much winter killed, and must spread
largely by tilering or our crop
will be small. From Knoxville to Maryland
the prospect is unfavorable. If we had a
good concentrated fertilizer to apply over
our wheat fields at this time, it would be
likely to pay handsomely by the increase of
crops. Such plant-food is not cheap in any
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-03-20

market; and railway companies do not see
the wisdom of favoring the growth of wheat
in Tennessee by cheap transportation of the
raw material that makes this grain. They
assume either that wheat is producted from
nothing or from something that our farms
can spare from year to year without injury
or final exhaustion. Impoverish all
the land that now yields wheat
and corn, and who could live in such a
country to support one mile Of rsilroads
Our farms now in wheat greatly need i'm
ported manure to compensate for gain ex-
ported since the time Knoxville was the
capital of the Territory south Of the Ohio
river. Tennessee farms are becoming
turned out old fields at rapid rate in the
Oldest settled parts of the State. High

work of driving farmers out of the old
