PROF. CHURCH, of Cirencester, the
eminent agricultural chemist, announces
that sulphate of lime appears to exer-
else very remarkable influence in ar
resting the spread of decay in potatoes
affected by the potato disease. In one
experiment the salt was busted over
some tubers, partially decayed from
this cause, as they were being slowed
away. Some months afterward the
potatoes were found to have suffered
no further injury. A similar trial with
powdered lime proved to be much less
effective.

u Did you ever see a man fish
around in the bottom of a tub of water
for piece of soap? At the first he
simply reaches down upon it to pick it
up, and is very much surprised to find
that he hasn't got it. Then he APP
proaahes it more cautiously, puts bis
hand over it, and then comes down
noiselessly until he gets every finger
about it, and then squeezes it tight
and-misses it. He looks at it a mo-
ment before making another effort, and
fills up the interval with a few remarks
not noted for delicacy. The third at
tempt is sort of semi-circle described
with a great deal of sagacity, but is a
failure. Other remarks follow. Then
he makes succession of dives and
Stops the water over his clothes, and
drenches the carpet, and crtches hold
of the soap several times, and lets go
of it again and screams at the top of
his voice, and finally, in perfect des-
pair, sits down on the floor and actual
ly howls.- Danbury News.

GEN. D. II. HILLS COMMENTS ON THE
DEATH OF GEN. CANBY.-At the outbreak
Of the war in 1861 he deserted bis own sec
ton and cast in his lot with their enemies.
He seems to have won rank and reputa
ton in the Federal service, and was one of
the six Brigadiers appointed in the regu-
lar army, on the peace establishment. He
was given command of the Department of
the Carolinas, and carried ont ruthlessly
all the cruel measures of remorseless
Congress. The war against his own land
and people seemed to have destroyed all
his nobler qualities, and to have trans
formed him into the usual style of the rem
egade. A citizen of Charlotte was present
in Richmond when General Candy per-
sonally superintendent the hanging of a
white man up by the thumbs for kicking
au insolent negro out of his saloon.
Jim Lane cut his own throat Stanton
most likely committed suicide. King
drowned himself. One by one the oppres-
sols Ofthe South come TO an untimely end
Some of the most ATTRACTIONS are now COW
ered with infamy worse than death. Is it
accident or is it retribution2
The history of renegades is getting to be
Instructive. Mr. Lincoln destroyed his own
people, violated bis conscience, and stuli-
lied bis oft expressed opinions He was
loully and attrociously murdered in the
hour of his triumph General Thomas
pledged himself in Lynchburg at the out
break of the war to stand by his neishbors
and kindred. Seduced by office, he fought
against them. At the close ofhis brilliant
military career, d popiniay was put over
him and he dropped dead in San Francis
co. Old Brownlow was the strongest pro-
slavery man in the South But he cast his
lot with the Abolitionists and prosecuted
his own people. He is now paralytic
ant, almost u dwelling idiot. Professor
Mahan was an ardent Southerner, and
could hardly find language wherewith to
express ris adherence of the disunion
Abolition party during the war, and be-
came very bitter against his own section.
He was Superseded when his work was
done, threw himself in the Hudson in the
Imadnessi Of bis despair. Who acoud not
rather be crippled Confederate soldier munch
ing crust Of bread, than poor Longstreet, The
pet Of Grad and The idol df Louisiana MiCrrs9

PORE PIoUs.-Pnpe Pions TX. con-
corning whose health such nnfavorable
reports are now daily received is in the
eishtyfrst year of his age. He was
chosen to 1ill his exalted position in
1916, and has consequently held the
Pon'itical chair twenty seven years-a
period exceeding the "days of Saint
Peter," to which no other Pope ever
attained. Though the present Pope's
temporal power" was for long time
assailed. and at last wrested from him
by the Italian government, his life and
administration have been gentle and
non aggressive, and the beautiful sim
plicity and purity of his character has
never been assailed. Important
amendments to the faith of the Church
were accomplished during his papacy,
and his administration will he regard
ed as highly important one in the
history of the Catholic Church, and one
most remarkable for it's extraordinary
length and the peaceful progress of the
term.
During the long and doubtful war
between the United States and Confed-
crate States this iIlustrous man, lis-
ing far above the narrow prejndices
controlling the politics of other Euro
pean sovereigns, extended his sympa-
thy to the cause of our struggling indie
pendeuce on its basis of true constitu-
tIonal freedom, and of moral, political
aud religious order. May he long be
spared in his goodness and wisdom to
the great Christian World Mont
gomery Advertiser.
