YOUNG GRASS.

The German papers publish details
of a series of experiments carried on at
the agricultural schools of Fatherland,
for the purpose of testing the nutl.itive
properties of grass and hay at various
stages. The experiments were initiated
by the excessive demand for forage in
Germany, but are not the less valuable
on that account. By an elaborate series
of analysis, it is shown why young
grass is m-re nutritious than mature
grass. The physiological experiments
show that it is more easily d.
gested. Thus grass two and half
inches high contains nearly fifty per
cent. more Of albumenoids than grass
which is SIX inches high, and about ten
per cent. more of "crude fat" (5.24 per
cent. against 1922 The mature grass
contains more woody fiber and less
fesh-forming matter than the young
grass, and besides this it is found that
the nutritious abulmenoids exist in less
soluble form in hay than in young
grass. Hence the difference Of nutri-
tive value and digestibility. Autumnal
hay was found to be more nutritious
than summer hay.

The NelC York Tribune asks: Do Con
TeSsmen, who continue to dawdle over the
finances, realize that the business Of the
country is almost stagnant, that capital will
touch no great investment, that merchants
even hesitate to lay i'll their supplies, and
everybody stands still in uneasy and i'm
patient idleneSs awaiting a plain decision
of the simple question? Shall the 81, 000,-
of greenbacks remain out, shall they be
called in, or shall the Secretary of the
Treasury have power, as heretofore, to play
fast and loose with business interests, and
unSettle all values, by issuing and recalling
them at his pleasure? Other financial
questions can await fuller discussion.
Every days delay on this point is to the
last degree waSteful and criminal. Our
own views as to what ought to be done
have been often enough expressed, but we
are willing to subordinate these to the i'm
perative necessity that something be done.
If Congress will not call in the 81 900, 900,
then let it legalize them. At least, let it
take some action which shall let our busi-
ness men know what to count on. A
wrong decision on the 81, 100000 issue can
hardly be so harmful as no decision at all.
The one would only depreciate values,
while the other stops business.

THE BARTLETT PLATFORM.
From the Memphis Appeal, March 3.


Thepreambleand resolutions adopted
by the Bartlett meeting have been so
generally and cordially approved by the
Liberal, Conservative and Democratic
voters" Of Tennessee, that we repro
duce them this morning, believing they
will form the basis of a platform on
which the anti-Radicals Will stand in
the approaching elections We are
gratified to know that Shelby county
has the honor Of sowing the seed that
promises to bring forth fruitful crop
of good. So far as Shelby county is
concerned, an organization on the basis
of the Bartlett meeting is fixed fact.
Those who began the movement have
made up their minds to fight it out on
that line. The movement IS directed by
earnest men, who, if they can secure
unObjectionable candidates, will win
decisive victory. The Jesuits and dis
semblers may publicly favor the move
ment in one breath, and anonymously
assail it in another, but such trickery
viii recOil on the heads of
the miscreants .Actuated by unworthy
prejudices, few object to the assertion
of the preamble to the Bartlett resolu-
tions, that the Democratic party is
the only organization confronting the
Radical party" No one can doubt the
truth of this averment; then why OBJ
ject to this organization and its name,
when a better one cannot be substi-
tuted? The defeat of RadicaEsm is
the aim in view, and to accomplish
that result no true man will care for
party names. The Democratic banner
will attract a dozen recruits for every
deserter.

about as fast as one can guano. / use

reply that l bought no seed for last
years crop or this, but sold over 200
bushels, and had about this much left
after planting cotton this year. If 500
or 1000 lbs. of seed cotton are made
per acre, it will be sufficient to manure
the same land"

MIRACLES IN FRANCE.
From the Pan Man Gazette

4 young girl living at Fontet, in the
neighborhoOd of Bordeau, Is reported
not only to receive visits from the Vir-
gin, but also to be endowed with the
power of curing sick persons by the
laying on of hands. Surnamed La
Voyante," she is the wonder of the
country round, and crowds flock to her
cottage to be healed of their diseases.
One man, who had been stricken with
paralysis for many years, repaired to
Fontet few weeks ago to be operated
upon. The process is thus described
by two witnesses, one of them doctor,
who are ready to attest the truth of
their account:
A medal of st. Benedict was pressed
against the patients neck, and he was
sprinkled with holy water. A terrible
crisis then ensued, for he fell to the
ground in commissions, uttering loud
cries. But in a few seconds the Virgin
appeared; the sufferer became immedi-
ately calm, and recited the litanies to
her IN a very devout tone. Although
not quite cured on the spot. he was so
much better that he was able to walk,
and the Virgin assured LA Voyante"
that he would be completely delivered
from an evil spirit in a few days. In
order that this evil spirit might not en-
ter into the body of La Voyante," it
was Edeemed prudent to sprinkle her
also with holy water, and as the writers
of the account remark. the devil has so
great an objection to holy water that
he would certainly have testified to his
presence in the chamber by some con-
vulsions had he been lodged there.
Cardinal Donnet, Archbishop of BOr-
deaux, has forbidden his clergy to take
any part in these manifestations, for
which, however. the promoters of them
console themselves by rejecting that
the Blessed Virgin will place the truth
beyond doubt when the proper time

A CHICAGO STAGE SCENE.

This is from the Chicago Times of
Feb. 81: ga rather queer scene was
enacted in a Blue Island avenue bus on
Thursday evening. A couple of rufians
persisted in putting huge clouds of to-
bacco smoke in the faces of ladies In
the stage. A gentleman took hold of
the Stub belonging to one of the fel-
lows and pitched it out of the window.
This was the signal for a row, and one
of the roughs half pulled his shooter
from his breeches pocket. Alive young
woman was present, however, went him
one better, for while he was fumbling
about for his pistol she presented and
cooked a neat little revolver at his era
MUM, politely informing him that any
further demonstration would lead to
decided unpleasantness It was enough
and he and his fellow bully very quickly
relieved the startled passengetso of their
presence" -.

REFTyDTNG THE COTTON TAX.

From the Louisville Courier-JOurnal.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The friends
of the measure for refunding the cotton
tax are moving IN order to secure its
consideration at the present session of
Congress. There Is now, as th,re was
at the last session, strong conviction
that this money was wrOngfully and
unconstitutionally extorted from the
cotton States at a time when their
PROSTATE condition dictated a wholly
different policy.
The great difficulty in the way of Sc
curing payment IN the last Congress
was the strength of the sectional preju-
dice still existing against those States
for seeding from the Union; but this
feeling would probably not have proved
sufficient to defeat the claim, if the
friends Of the refunding measure had
been able to agree among themselves
about the payment of the money. The
associations of cotton factors who had
spent their time and money In pushing
the claim In the courts at Washington,
insisted that the money should be paid
to the parties actually holding the re-
ceipts for the tax paid. Some of
the planters were willing to let the
matter take this course, but others
urged that they had really paid
the tax, as the factors had deducted its
amount on paying them for their
crops. At this time several schemes
are pending. One offered by Cooke, of
Georgia, proposes to give the money to
the States in which it was collected,
which would probably be a very agree
able solution of the question to the ne
groized Legislatures of Mississippi,
South Carolina and Louisiana. An
other bill, offered the other day by Mr..
Mckee, corresponds with the old bill of
last session, which proposed to pay the
persons holding the receipts for taxes
paid. In view of the impossibility of
passing any measures unless it's friends
are all united, some of the most infuen-
tial of the Southern Representatives
have been preparing compromise bill,
designed to secure the rights of both
the planters and the factors by pro-
noting an equitable division of the
sums to be refunded; and it is under
stood that such bill will be proposed.
1t Is certainly the only kind of cotton
tax bill which has possibility of pass
ing Congress.
