las Success.

Fra an Occasional Correspondent
BARTLETT. Tenn, June 30.-An-
other refre5hing shower of rain last
night has stimulated vegetation and
made glad the hearts OF the tillers of
the earth, and well may every one %
glad In all the branches Of trade, for
without bountiful yield Of corn and
cotton, sad VIII be the prospect when
1874 ends and 1875 begins. This year
will b long remembezed, not for any
very remarkable events during the first
half at least, but it will be regarded as
one Of the economical years-One in
which this thing credit, credit, credit
has sustained blow which we hope it
may never recover from. " No cfeditn
has brought about better state of things
with the farmers. The spirit of the
oranges is to break down the indiscrimi-
nate system Of credit, but ID Is our belief
thss the merchants have done more
thsa the oranges in putting an end to
eX.snsive credits. In few weeks more
the crops will be abandoned until gath
ering time. The interim viii be devoted
to barbecues and public gatherings, q
period which is alwsys a pleasant one
for the farmers to meet and "blown over
their prospects, and disjoint pig, NUT
ton, Kid and chicken. During this pc
riod the candidates for the county offices
viii be along and tell the people what
good officials they will make, how they
viii discharge the duties OF Office " to
tho best OF their ability" etc. Speak
ing OF candidates, isn't there fine
crop of them? 1t is reported there are
eli hteen for clerk OF the criminal court
OF 2aelby county, and as maEy more
who have an eye on it not announced
yet, who expect to be put before rhe con-
veEtion when it fails to agree. In look
ing over the list Of names of delegates
elect 10 the convention, in both wards
ana districts, we do not remember
better delegation for years
pRs4- The list embraces talent, social
standing, and men Of Ective business
pursuits, who will have az eye single to
ths public welfare, Tegs6dless Of The per-
sonal ciSims Of this OF that individual.
/ will make prediction here, that the
work Of the convention will be done in
3 business way, rapidly and satisfactory,

METALLIC NATURE OF THE SUN.-Some
further and exceedingly interesting in
vestigations have been made, with the
use of the spectroscope, into the metal
lie nature of the sun by European as
tronomers and the result up to the
present time has been that strontium,
codium, lead, cerian, and uranium
would seem with considerable proba-
bility to exist in the solar reversing
layer. If therefore, this alleged pres
ence of cerium and uranium be subse-
quently confirmed. the whole of the
iron group of metals will thus have
been found to form part of or to exist
in the sun.
Certain metals forming unstable
oxides, such as gold. silver, mercury,
etc, were sought for and failed to be
found. The same result followed when
chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc., were
sought by means of lines produced in
tubes by the jar spark, these elements
being distinguishable as a group by
forming compounds with hydrogen.
Among the singular phenomena OBJ
served in these investigations, it is
mentioned that certain elementary and
compound gases effect their principal
absorption in the most refrangible part
of the spectrum when they are rare, and
that, as they become dense, the absorp-
ton then approaches the less refrangible
end. 1t also appears probable that
there are no compounds in the sun.

ANALYSIS OF TEXTILE FABRICS.
German industrial journal gives, after
VI. Vupp, the following treatment for
fabrics containing silk and wool with
vegetable fibres. Ali vegetable fibres
resist caustic, alkaline solution even
when boiling, and are dissolved by sui
phuric, nitric, hydrochloric acids, even
whea diluted with heat. Vegetable
fibres when burnt, do not give forth
any Characteristic cdor. Wool insolu-
BILE in the above acids, is readily at
tackled by caustic alkalies, especially
when hot the sulphur which it con-
tains combines with the alkali, and the
solution becomes black when acetate of
lead is added to it In burning wool
produces the same smell as horn. Silk
is dissolved, both in the acids and the
caustic alkalies, and produces an odor
similar to that of wool, but it contains
no sulphur, and, consequently, its So
luton in alkalies is not blackened by
acetate of lead. In order to distinguish
these materials in tissue, it is treated
first with concentrated hydrochloric
acid cold the residue is then washed
in filter, and if necessary bleached by
means of water containing chlorine, and
then washed again in pure water and
boiled with caustic soda, which dis
solves the wool, leaving the vegetable
fibre intact. The wool is distinguished
from silk by adding acetate of lead to
the liquid, as already mentioned.

A REMARKABLE Cow.-Mr. Horace
Benedict, who resides in Manhattan
township, says the Toledo Blade, has a
COW which is disposed not to follow
the beaten paths of cows in general,
but seems to take delight in astonishing
all cowdom "and the rest of mankind, !"
by showing what COW can do when
she "sets herself about it." At the age
of fourteen months she gave birth to
very fine calf, and three weeks ago, at
the age of four years, she became the
mother of three handsome heifer calves,
all of which are alive, sprightly. and
fully equal in size to the average calf of
their age. They are 'as like as three
beans," and large numbers of farmers
have visited the farm of Mr.. Benedict
TO see this remarkable COW and her
family.
