Manure for Wheat.

Experimental Farm, Vest Grore, Pa
From the experiences of the past two
seasons, l would suggest to farmers to
try the Fultz wheat, just enough to
show its suitability to their soil and
circumstances. With us it has proved
hardy, stiff-strawed, early and pro-
ductive variety. Grain small, but rea-
sonably plump. The Rogers is also a
fine wheat; not so productive or early
as the Fultz, but a better quality of
wheat, and would probably do finely on
strong ground, or with high manuring.
The action of certain fertilizers is too
uncertain to warrant the recommends
ton of any particular one, though the
general result of their use has been
favorable with u.s. From our eXper-
fence with fertilizers on various crops
this season, we have decided to use
principally the following preparation,
giving the quantity per acre.
225 DIS. dissolved South Carolina rock at IA
:, cents = h., sas715
IS lbs. murate of potash at c. per TO-, 264
Cost per acre, $3.50
These should furnish the three most
valuable ingredients in all fertilizers,
the phosphate, ammonia and potash
This we propose to apply in addition to
light coat of yard manure, blowing
both down as early as possible and drill
in the wheat about the middle of Sep
tember

A New Weapon.

A man was indicted the other
day at San Francisco for murder
with a weapon of a peculiarly dan
gerous, and for along time, mystic
rious nature. This sand club,
formed by filling an eel skin with
sand. When this instl ument was
first brought into use the anthori-
ties were greatly puzzled by deaths
apparently from VIGILANCE, yet no
marks could he found on the out
side of the body. \ burglar was
finally captured with a sand club
in his possession, made out of an eel
skin Stuffed Withstand. Being closely
questioned, he explained its use.
When the victim is struck, for in
stance, on the head, he drops insen
sible and soon dies from congestion
of the brain. Often the skull suf-
fers 10 injury from the stroke; and
if the person struck RECEIVERS sensl-
biIity, he gradually relapses into a
condition of idiocy. Sometimes
man struck III the body will be
Knocked down by the peculiar force
of the. blow, and feel no immediate
results from it. In few weeks,
however. the flesh will begin to
mortify under the line of the blow
and rot down to the bone. Heller,
the celebrated pianist, is supposed
to have met his death III Mexico
from 81 stroke of this diabolical
weapon.

Speech of Judge Shacke.ford.

In obedience to a call made by
citizens of Canton, Judge c. G..
Shackelford addressed the people
at Old-FellowS Hall. on Monday
night last. His speech was main
ly directed to taxation, the repudi-
ated bonds, and Gen. AmeS' con
nection with their future payment,
in the event of his election. One
point in this speech demands our
attention, and which we proceed,
briefly, TO notice.
In his allusion to the wrongs and
extortions practiced upon the peo-
pie of Mississippi by Railroad mo-
nopolies. and on which, it appears,
the press of The State have remain
ed silent, Judge ShackeilOrd said,
he did not know whether subsidies
had been employed to purchase the
silence of the Canton press. In re-
ply, we will say for the AMERICAN
CITIZEN, that Mr.. McComb, with
all his wealth, has not money
enough to buy one manly, indepen-
dent thought or sentiment of this
paper; neither can any politicians,
or political organizations, control
its utterances, or secure its infiu-
ence, unless their principles and
policy are in full accord with its
preconceived opinions. If Judge
Shackelford, or any other gentle
man, will take the trouble to en-
tighten us on the subjects COM
planned of-for, being compare
tive stranger, it is hardly to be ex-
pected that we could be familiar
with the facts mentioned, and of
which he, as former Railroad man,
is cognizant,) he will soon discover
whether the CITIZEN is a subsidi-
zed journal, or whether its views
and principles can be influenced
either by fear or favor. For a
purely moneyed consideration, we

Or Jove for his power to thunder"

Official immortality.

Anew system of ethics has been
adopted i'm Washington City, the
disciples of which are among the
most prominent municipal and
Government officials. This sys-
TEN, which seems to have been sue
cessfully practiced for the past five
years, is to rob the Government in
order to enrich the church. From
exposures recently made, it appears
that some two hundred thousand
dollars have been appropriated to
this object. The Episcopalian,
Methodist and Metropolitan church
es have derived the largest benefits
from this new moral departure.
Until within a recent period, no sus
piciOn of the source of these reven-
ues was entertained by the pastors
of the churches thus favored.
Those who have stolen the Govern
ment funds to contribute both to
their own Golfers and the church
treasury, were held in high esteem
for their philanthropic generosity
and seeming piety.
This wilful violation of the fourth
to enrich the church
and appease the wrath of an offend
ed Deity, is new feature in ETH
cal philosophy, and could have
found proselytes no where else than
in the God -forsaken City of Wash
ingtCn.

Poor Louisiana.

"SiX thousand houses and stores
to let," is the now molrnful report
which comes mp to us from New
Orleans. Business is dead, and cap
ital is flying from the State. Such
are the bOons a Radical Congress
has presented to people who i'm
plOred it for protection. The wick
ed may flourish for IA time, like a
green bay tree, but there is u day
Of wrath preparing for them, when
the wrongs they have prepctrated
upon the helpless will rise up in
Judgment against them. We be-
Iieve that when the time for weigh
ing The Administration, and the
Radical party arrives, they Will owe
their condemnation more to their
Infamous policy toward Louisiana
than any other OF their long tram
OF misdeeds. The spectacle of an
American State pinned down with
Federal Bayouets, SO that gang
of thieving adventnrers may plun
der her, is the most humilihtIng of
the nineteenth century 1t does
not become us to sneer at the
French idea of Republic, when

Canism as the rule in Louisiana OBJ

McEnery has called for State Con
venriOn, with the view of making

at any moment be repealed! We
must turn to the church of Christ.
which will stand amid all the con-
fusion of factions, end wars of ma.
tons. Here, then, we take our
stand and challenge-hail the ap-
preaching vessel-the old ship of
Zion. Though buffeted by ten
thousand storms, she still rides
most calamity the seas made rough
by all things opposed to heaven
above, and peace to man below.
The Great Eastern is not compare
BILE to this grand, glorious old ship.
Her admiral is Jesus Christ. Her
capacity for passengers is greater
than all the navies and fleets of the
world combined. From the shores
of time she makes daily trips to the
haven of everlasting rest. To fit
and ultimately prepare the young
TO take passage OH this celestial
craft, Sunday Schools are at work
over this country. To be success
ful in this great work, the teachers
of these schools, having their own
faces turned heavenward, must have
the corporation of parents. Thus
acting, the school becomes a success.
and it is only a question of time,
when the vineyard of the Lord will
be alive with busy hands and active
feet, propelled by evangelical
hearts, in every good word and
work. And the happy little people
coming on to manhood out of these
refining school houses, will be
sought after. and opportunities will
be furnished them, which, if accept
ed, will lead to fortune, upon the
bosom of whose flood they will be
enabled to dispense blessings on all
around.

dog. into The fir>tciasS car, despite the efforts
and cNpOSiulations Of the conductor and

car, Conductor G. Z. Walden approached
him. and in the kindest manner possible in
formed bin that it was in violation of the
rules OF the company for dogs to be admitted
on the train except in the baggage car.
Terry became furious. and drawing large

Mr.. sickles Threatened.


Especial telegram to the Washington Republican,
New YoRS, November 90, 1s73.-Private
advices received in this city from Madrid
embrace the following important informa-
tion:
The feeling among the people, as. exhib.
tied by the outburst of passion on the
streets, indicates the most excited vindic-
tiyeness towards the United States.
4 mob, inspired by this feeling and in
furiated by the angry tone of the press, which
demands that the Government shall send
Minister Sickes his passports, collected be-
fore the United States legation on the night
OF the 10Th, and threatened him with yio-
lence. The authorities acted promptly. and
the mob was soon dispersed without having
committed any act Of aggression.
This incident is but slight indication Of
the feeling of animosity toward the United
States which so seriously embarasses the
Cabinet in its deliberations regarding the
American demand for reclamation in the
Eirginius case. Fears are entertained by the
friends of the CASTELAR, Government that II it
is bold enough to yield full reclamation it
may be oyerthrown. Nothing has been
made public regarding the terms Of the re-
| clamation, but the press and the people seem
to think that it may include demand for
| territorial indemnity, or that it may result
in some way to the injury of Spanish terri
toriul integrity. 1t is IA fear of such result
that has SO alurlningly eXasperated the peo.
pie, and has resulted in the unfortunate EN-.
barrasSment Of the Government.
