Usury Laws.

A very instructive lesson as
to the inutility and impractic-
ability of usury laws has been
afforded lately by the action OF
a grand jury in New York City.
The jury was charged direct
ly by the Judge, under whose
jurisdiction it came, to consid'
or gross violations Of the law
which were notorious IN the
New York money market. The
jury, accordingly had summon
ed many men who were cog
infant OF the violations of the
law. Direct confessions were
in some cases made that
would implicate the witnesses
themselves, if followed up, and
enough information gathered
arundantly to confirm the fact
that the usury laws we're dead
letters; yet the jury found mat
ters so complicated that the
members came to the sensible
conclusion to recommend the
repeal of the laws. In accord
ance with this conclusion, they
resorted to the anomalous plan
of deputing three Of their
members to 60 to Albany to
urge the Legislature to either
repeal the law or exempt New
York City from its penalties

Ashes N the Orchard,

!. d. W. Kaafman of Des
Moines, Iowa. writes to the
Iowa Homestead, that ashes are
worth one dollar per bushel to
put about fruit trees, and that
he would not sell his ashes at
that price, and do without
their use In the orchard. He
has used ashes about fruit
trees for fifteen years, and du-
ring all that time has never
seen a borer where ashes were
used. The borer Is a terrible
pest to the fruit grower, and if
all other impediments to the
successful growing were as cas-
lily overcome, and completely
controlled as Is the borer, then
fruit growing would be very
successfully practiced. At the
recent meeting Of the Fruit
Growers Association of Onta-
rio, Mr.. Noodle stated that he
had been in the habit of using
unleached ashes as a manure
for his fruit trees, and that he
values them more highly Tor
this purpose than barn yard
manure. If our farmers knew
the value Of wood ashes for the
garden, orchard and farm, they
would not sell them Tor a few
cents per 5ushel. The ashes
that they barter for a few
pounds of soap would, if ap.
piled to the soil, SO increase
their crops of fruit and grain as
to yield them ten times the
value they now get for them.

No Quo Warranto.

The question as to who consti-
tute the legally elected Board
of Railroad Directors was not
tried at the recent term of the
District Court, on account of
the want of requisite service.
The writ of quo icarranto, or
the information, was allowed
by Judge Guthrie. Writs were
issued, one directed to this, the
other TO Vinton county. The
latter remained in the
Clerks offico until the 10th of
March, when the plaintiffs de-,
posted money, which, with the,
writ, was sent to the Sheriff of
Vinton county. The Sheriff OF
that county served the writ
Immediately, and returned it
on the 25th. The District,
Court met on the 18th, making,
only % days. notice. The law
requires 30 days. Hence the
case could not be tried. 1t
seems that the courts are but
little better posted on the
time OF service required in
such cases, than tho lawyers,
for az the last term of the Dis,
trict Court the School Direc-i
tors of a school district, in,
Cheshire township, were ousted;
when only three days service
had been given. The District
Court, however, will meet In,
adjourned session, in this city,
the 9Th of July, when the case
will probably be set right and
taken under consideration,

American Cavalry. from an En-.
Klish Standpoint,

~AAcon NAvhiry from an En-
| Rlish Standpoint.
English army officers are Just
now advocating the establish.
ment Of a corps of mounted
rifemen. An officer writing
to the London Times takes ex.
ception to a statement made
by Sir Henry Havelock that
General Sheridan's Cavalry du.
ring the late war were mounted
rlflemen. In doing SO he pre-.
laced his remarks by saying
that he served with General
Sheridan's cavalry during the
last year of our war, and then
proceeds as follows: Tf being
armed as far as possible with
Spencer carbines madc them
mounted riflenen, we'll and
good; but in every respect
they were essentially cavalry,
and il not the best to look at,
were the most effective the
world ever saw. This cavalry
could line a stone walp dis
mount as we'll as annoy the
flanks of an army, as at the
battle of Winchester; or when
the time came, capture artil-
lery, as at Cedar Creek, in the
Shenandoah Valley, a month
afterwards. The divisions of
about ten thousand strong,
were commanded by young
men of great dash. Merritt,
Custer, etc, were boys of twen-
ty-four years Of age, but West
Point graduates and giants in
theory if not the practice of
the art of war. Comparisons
are odious and limitations unde-
sirable, but would venture to
hint to our economical govern
ment. that by uniting Wool.
wich and Sandhurst they would
establish a national military
school which would we'll vie
with, il it did not excel the cell
ebrated establishment on the
Hudson"

Description Of the Lava Beds.
Professor Hayden, in charge
of the United States expedition
for the geological survey of the
Territories, who last year VISIT
ed the Lava Beds in Oregon,
now occupied by the Modoc
Indians, informed a reporter of
the Evening Star that the Lava
Beds are an outflow of volca-
mic matter, forming a perfect
sea of melted rock, which, In
gradually cooling, became bro.
ken. Innumerable little
streams have worked their
way through, and the whole
place is filed with caverns.-
Oftentimes they connect with
one another, and extend for
miles under ground. They
vary in width from fifty to five
or six hundred feet. The en-
frances to them are generally
very small, and, therefore, can
be easily defended. The Lava
Bed comprises from fifty to
one hundred square miles. 1t
will be a difficult thing to sur
round the Modocs, and there
ls great danger of their elud-
ing the troops, on account of
the familiarity of the Indians
with the Lava Bed.
The Modocs are the same as
the Digger Indians, and live
upon rabbits, Lizards, snakes,
mice, and all kinds of bugs
and insects, which are found in
the caves.

note Of the manner IN which
one thousand persons, who
called for work, opened and
shut the door. Boggc, on read
ing it, determined on a similar
experiment. Boggs keeps an

fore has a great many callers
during the day. He kept a
record of one thousand people
who called, with the following
result:
1. Out of 1000 persons re-
corded, two hundred and fifty
two wiped their feet carefully
on the rug before entering the
Office, also when they went out.
2. Two hundred just step
ped on to the rug, and stepped
right off again. st
3. Three hundred and twen-
ty-nine didn't toach the rug at
all.
4. Ninety-six tripped on it
and nearly broke their necks.
5. One hundred and nin-
teen kicked 1t into the street.
6. One hundred and two
tried to steal it.
z. One did steal it, and
