Friday must hcnceforth be a popu-
lar wedding day, for after so impe-
rial all. example, who would not
choose Friday for his ruptials ! All
England and all Russia rcjoiccd with
exceeding joy last Friday. 1t. was.a
gala day throughout the two great
empires, for at precisely one o'clock
in the afternoon the marriage ccre-
monies ofthe Duke Of Edinburg and
the Grand Duchess, Maria, were cole
brated at St. Petersburg. Through
out England the country bells rung
out their. merry peals in honor of the
royal bridal, and "marriagc services
were celebrated in all the churches" ;"
1t is doubtful since the world began
if any couple have found themselves
SO muchly or SO completely married.
May, they be rs happy as they arc
grand.

If there is any Of the reconstructed
States where The people are literally
tax'd out of house aud home, Ar
kansas is the one. In order to be
sure tat the assessors shall not per-
init any undervaluation Of property,
they are paid a commission Oh tic
amount assesscd,so that tho higher
the valuation they return the larger
will be thoir own share of the plum
der. The idea of paying assessors
by commission is novel, and it, na-
tural effect obvious. This plan is
SO brilliant that it is almost safe to
say that it must have originated in
the prolific brain Of Grants partitcu-
lar friend, Senator Clayto to whom
the people of Arkansas are deeply in
debted in many ways If a tax on
personal property. is not paid, tho
collector may seize it and sell enough
to cover tho amount due with costs
and fifty per cent. on the whole, be.
sides paying himself for his trouble.
IF a real estate owner fails to pay
his taxes, his property is sold at
auction under provisions which render
it almost impossible that he can over
recover it. In case no purchasers
como forward to bid for such proper
ty, then, in order to mako suro that
the owner is properly punished for
his poverty, the State steps in, buys
it, and gives it away to certain rail.
road companies. And yet, strange
to say, there arc very few white mon
to be found in this bcnightcd State
who are able to. properly appreciate
tho blessings of living under repub-
lican form of government.
The committee appointed by tho
meeting Of the taxpayers Of Marion
County are quietly waiting the action
of the Legislature. A bill b ,s been
introduced into tho House to give
the remedy desired. 1t is at the
end Of the calendar, and will not be
reached in some time, unless taken
up out Of its order Meantime, Mr..
Fillebrowne, chief clork in the
Comptroller''s office, has gone over
to Marion, to make an examination
of the tax collectors books, and to
look into the matters complained of
carefully. -PhGnin.

JUDICIOUS MANAGEMENT OF STA
BILE MANURE.
From the HeY0ld.)

When stable manure is exposed to the
influences of sunshine, rain, snow and dry
ing winds, q large portion of the volatile
elements will be removed so that they
will be the same as lost to the pro-
prietor. Hence, all surface water shouldbe
turned away from the barnyard. Every
outbuftdfng should be-provfdod with cave
troughs to catch the water that would
find its way into the manure heap. To
prevent loss by teaching it is we'll to throw
over an exposed heap of excrement a GOV.
ering of straw or old hay. If the form
is conical nearly all the water will
off the sides and but little p~ercolate
through. 1t is miserable slack and waste
full to haul out manures into fields In
the autumn or winter and allow them
to remain without any protection. "A
good farmer writes that during the past
two years more excrement has been pro-
duced at the farm than we could convent
entity use upon our fields, and in removing
it from the cellar we have protected it In
the manner described. One heaphas thus
been covered for two years, and its valua.
BILE qualities have not only been preserved,
but by the processes of spontaneous de-
composition the products are now ready
for immediate assimilation by plants and
the soil applied is nearly aslvalluable as
the material which it has covered and
protected. Three years ago some heaps
Of manure were carted upon a meadow in
winter, and owing to fowage from the
lake it was deemed best not to disturb
them until the meadow was thoroughly
drained. Several of them, spread last
season., gave most extraordinary returns
in grass, and the two remaining heaps
have been opened this season and found
IN perfect condition.

to French buyers, nor that the English refners
have with few exceptions been driven from the
trade, to the great injury of the raw sugar
makers of France"
The practical ability which has been exerted
by Mr.. Russell in solving the problem of ex-
tracing a greater quantity of Juice from the
cane is deserving of the highest admiration.
1t need hardly be said that the particulars
of the invention have been re ceived in all
parts of the West Indies with the
greatest interest. Other experiments besides
those conducted by Mr.. Russell himself have
taken place, with-a an apparent confirmation, of
his conclusions, that 25 per cent. can be added
to the quantity Of sugar which has been extract
cd by the first operation. The second process
consists, in its broad principle, of squeezing
after a plentiful application of hot water and
steam. This is not the place to recapitulate
any details, which arc given fully in the Deme-
rara papers. It is sufficient to draw attention
to the skill which has been shown by the invent
or and the probable results, forif all the anti
c~ipations which have been raised are realised
and no reason has yet been shown why they
should not be--the e~xertions of Mr. Russell bid
fair to confer upon the sugar-producing colonies
an advantage Of which the need has long been
felt.
