Cotton Seed as q Fertilizer.

Cotton seed as manure is one of the richest
and best that nature has provided for the far
mer, suitable for any kind of crop and any kind
Of soil. What fatal economy then to sell the
seed and rob the soil.
It IS the common belief, that cotton seeds as
q manure are better for corn than the cotton
plant. Il Is strange that cotton should form
ali exception to rule SO we'll established, that
each plant ia state of decomposition is its
own BEST manure; but the manner of applying
the cotton seed as manure may bring about
suchsa result. The growing cotton plant Is
less hardy than corn, and the immediate con-
tact Of its roots, with hot fermenting cotton
Seed seems to act in the same manner that an
overdose of gdano or fresh stable manure Eould
do, and injure the young plant: Ga the other
hand, It is well known if the fermentation or or
decay of the cotton seed is allowed to take
place in the open air, the energy OF Its action
as d manure is greatly 1essened. 2f.sT r
n.'The best 1heshod, probably, to avoid both In
conyeniences would be to allow the cotton
seeds to decay in the ground which they are
inteHdsd 10 manure, by introducing them into
the soil some weeks or months previous to the
Ylantine of: cotton. Run o furrow in the mid
ale Of theI future bed, scatter the seeds in it,
and then lay enough earth with the turn plow

ly; as the cotton seeds decay the earth with
which they are covered will absorb the ammo

when the plant is not only sbie to bear the

it is about the time it commences to bloom and

Every bushel of cotton seed made on q farm
should be scrupulously returned to the land ;
if fed to the stock, the manure should all be
saved and applied to the soil. 1t has been
shown by analysis that Che cotton seed from a

from the soil an amount of mineral and other

A DEN OF GOVERNMENT THIEVES
IN ARKANSAS.

The committee on the expenditures
of the Department of Justice, which
has been cropping somewhat blindly for
several weeks, trying to find out where
the United States funds went to In
West Arkansas, got hold of witness
a day or two ago, who told them more
than they ever expected to discover,
and about all that they needed to
know. His name was Shoemaker, and
his present residence is Missouri, to
which State he moved after retiring
from a very successful career in plum
dering the Government as a Deputy
Marshal in Arkansas Mr.. Shomaker's
story was in brief, that United States
Marshals Britain and Roots, with the
clerk of Brittain's Office, Donnelly,
and Deputy Marshal Commissioner E..
J. Brooks, formed a ring and stole
from the Government about $4,000.
They did it by getting up fictitious
list of marshal's names, which they
used in distributing the extra fees
which they pocketed. When a mar
shall went out to make an arrest, he
usually charged for posse conuitdt'ts Of
two or three men; and when more than
one arrest was made, fees were drawn
by the use of fictitious names. The
foreman of the grand jury was also
implicated, and the ring seemed to IN
clude about everybody holding an APP
pointment for the United States. The
committee will report an amendment
to the law, compelling the marshals to
swear to detailed statement of their
expenditures hereafter.

SOME QUEER NEWSPAPERS BLUM



From the New York Evening Post
The election of Gov. Washburn, Of
Massachusetts,, to the United States
Senate has given rise to many laugha-
bic errors IN relation to the "Washburn
family" who have become so famous
for their success in public life. One OF
the most remarkable of them is the fact
that Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly
prints a picture entitled William b.
Washburn, Governor of Massachusetts,
and United States Senator elect to I'LL
the anexpired term of the late Senator
Sumner-from a photograph by
Balch." which is not a likeness Gov.
William B. Washburn, but is likeness
eff ex-Gov. Emory Washburn, now
a professor in the Harvard Law
School, and was taken many years
ago. But this is not more
dron than the two mistakes OF two
Michigan newspapers, one Of which as
serts that the new Senator was minis
ter to France, where he remained dur
ing the memorable FraneO-Prussian
war, and upon his return to this coun.
try was elected to the GOyernOrshIp OF
his State" and the other points out
that this statement was the result OF
ignorance. but at the same time makes
the equally absurd assertion that ne
twas the oldest consecutive member OF
Congress when Grant made him Seere-
tary of State on the death of William

equal to this since the confusion OF the

Intense Excitement at CatskiII, n. Y.
HUDsON, y. Y, April 30.-Joe Waltz,
the murderer, who is sentenced TO be
hanged at Catskill tomorrow, killed his
keeper, Charles Ernest, in his cell at ,
o'clock this afternoon, by striking him on
the head with piece of iron, smashing in
the skull. During the past week the Of
ficers have guarded Waltz in his cell in
order that be should commit no injury TO
himself. The murder to-day had been
committed sometime before it was discov-
cred. George Olney, with a reporter, went
to see Waltz and called for Ernest, but no
answer being returned, they looked through
the cell door and saw him lying on the floor
unconscious. The officers revolver was
found in the possession of Waltz. The
victim lived only fifteen minutes after medi-
cal aid was summoned.
The prisoner manifestS a stOlid indiffer-
ence as to the horrible deed. The excite
ment at CatSkill IS intense, and at least
| 1900 persons are collected around the Jail
threatening to break down the doors and

mined to maintain order and carry out the
sentence of the law. If the mob do not
take the affairs in their hands, Waltz will
| be hanged about o'clock tomorrow. The

an adequate crew of disciplined men he
could have taken the Europe around the
world. The men sent from the Egypt to
aid Buck, all went down TO the cabins pre-
yiously occupied by the officers, broke open
the casks Of liquor found there, and became
intoxicated and uncomfortable. These men
were therefore more of a hinderance to the
