Now that the oyster season has closed,
we are puzzled to know how the charm
ing bellies and hopeful beaux of aristocra-
tic Baltimore get along in their evening
tetes-o-tetes without the bivalve accompani-
ments. Bivalve, however, does MT always
mean oysters; and perhaps the bivalvular
accompaniment survive in another form.
We don't mean clans either. To see a
dainty, delicate city belle energetically
going for dish OF sayory clam soup at
night would be too practical and, perhaps,
too ludicrous thing to be exactly an, fiait
One of Moore's prettiest characters-Aye-
sha, if we remember rightly-is represent
ed as living on ''the fragrance of flowers"
and cher drink was the dew drop"-from
butter cups and lily chalices, we suppose;
but that is too ethereal by far Even dew
drops on tulips two lips) will hardly
reach the case. How they manage matters
in Baltimore just now sis one of those

Mr.. J. V. (. Wells of Pine Grove has mark.1aa;;
this year, and they know Also the splendid sin q
and superb quality Of them; and otw ithstanu,
Ing the fact that Mr.. Wells considers his meth.
Cd very superior one and in some measure

Tor The benefit OF our readers, yet he is too zoo
natnred to be offended with us If We are able to
give 1t to the public without any assistance from
hin. Thinking il would be acceptable TO all
our agricultural readers we have taken the
trouble TO learn all about 1t, and below we pre-
sent 1t to them.
HIS patch this year contained nearly five acres.
and last Winter 1t was an old sedge field, worl,
out iana that had been uncultivated for several
years, ana abandoned 10 sedge and persimmon
bushes. 1t was sandy loan soil. He cut the
bushes out of it and plowed the sedge under
about six inches deep early In April. With the
rake harrow 1t was then thoroughly pulyerized
and afterwarI laid out In squares six by eight
feet. At the crossing of the rows he scooped
out the earth with hoe and put In q large
snoveifnl oil well rotted barnyard manue.-
This was covered with the hoe and lust before
planting the seed handful of Pacific Ocean
Guano was worked into the surface soil over
each HILL The seed were planted about the
flrst OF May and WHEN they were well I'D strong
and vigorous, he removed all but one plant In

ed to set, and In this manner the vines wele
kept in bearing all the season, but ct no time
was any vine allowed TO carry more than four
melons, and Ia some instances but one or two.
By this treatment the productive vitality of the
vines was all directed to producing large sized
melons. This Is the only method by which the
enormous melons Of twenty to forty lbs. can be
produced. II the vines are allowed to set ali
the fruit they will, the size cannot be great :
but If each vine is allowed only to bear one or

How ILLINOIS FARMS ARE MoRTG AGED.--
special correspondent OF the New York Iff
oune, writing from Springfield, ILL.,, says in q
former letter | mentioned the fact that in some
parts Of the State large proportion Of the farms
were mortgaged to Eastern Capitalists. Since
that time have gained some more definite in
formation as to the terms on which these deeds
Of trust are given and the money borrowed. In
certain town of not more than 10 900 or Is :
600 people, there 10 an unpretending banking
house that is engaged largely in the business
Of lending money for Eastern people. The
loan department is separate from the bank
proper, and Is managed by ono of the partners
Ii a farmer desires to borrow money on his
land, and goes to the bank for that purpose, he
Is referred to the loan office, where he Is in
formed that, in the FIRST place, he will be requir-
ed TO furnish an abstract of his title. This the
loan office, which has abstracts Of all the title
In the county, will give him for the customary
price-$16. The farmer then agrees to pay ten
per cent. interest for the mo ley with exchange
on New York, and an additional percentage
for negotiating tho lean. His property is then
appraised without improvements, and ho can
borrow from one-third to one -half Its appraised
value In the deed which he gives he agrees
to pay the interest semi-annually, to pay the
taxes promptly, and sometimes there are even
further conditions imposed, failure to comply
with any one of which results in a foreclosure
OF the mortgage. The banking house TO which
referred Is reported 10 have divided $90,0CC
last year as Its own profits on this branch of
Its business alone; and this is In addition 10 the
interest that was sent East to the capitalists
who furnished the money,

several experiments which show that when clo-

Another Butchery.

Edward Lumley was butchered, probably first tortured, at Kenyon Station, on the Gila, late last Monday. Gov. Stafford and Theo. F. White came by the station before the inter- ment of the body, made such inquiries and examinations as they could and now supply us with such facts as seem reliable, viz:
 The deed was committed by two Mex jeans who afterwards fled to Sonora with two horses, saddle, bridle, shotgun, pis- tol, $50, and other articles stolen. Theft seems to have induced the murder. The attack was made on Lumley while he was in bed. His hat and pipe were found near his bed in front of the house and body in the rear. His hands were tied with a small cOrd-evidently done before the murder, which seems to have been begun by a blow with a stone. He was stabbed in eleven places with knife, four of which wounds penetrated the bowels. John Murphy, Lumley's partner, was at their Oatman Flat station at the time. He offers reward of S250 for the arrest and conviction of each of the murderers. Other particulars cannot be given this morning.

The Military Telegraph.

This institution is bound to be put through to completion as promised by Superintendent Haines and Captain Price. Building will soon commence at San Diego, Yuma, Prescott and probably Maricopa Wells. The an- nexed paragraphs are from The San Diego Union of August 12 and II:
 Last Sunday Geo. H. Wilson and R. H. Howe arrived from Los Ange- les and left in the evening for Pres colt, Arizona, where they will at once commence building the eastern termi- nus of the Military Telegraph line. MT. Wilson is a foreman and MT. Howe an electrician. The material for the eastern end of the line is on the ground and it is expected that they will commence stringing the wire by the 25th inst.
 Lieut.. Craigie is now en route for San Diego, to proceed hence to Yuma, and there take. command of detach- ment Go. B. 12th Infantry, at that place, and commence the construction of the Military Telegraph from Yuma towards San Diego. The nec- essary telegraph material is on hand at the Yuma depot.
