UTILIZING LIQUID MANURE

soil my cows IN summer, beginning
about the LIST of July, stabling them at
night, and | wish to save the liquid
manure; / have no muck, nor can l get
sawdust enough. Cut straw does not
seem to absorb it well enough in sum-
mer, but it is good in winter; while if
use soil it is interspersed with gravel,
and interferes with the mowers if used
for top-dressing. How can l save the
liquid manure IN cisterns, in hot
weather, and without removing it oft
ener than once a week, so that it shall
not scent the stable enough to be no
ticed in the milk or butter: am very
anxious to get more light upon this
subject. c. Jericho, Vt. Use dry soil
for an absorbent. a coarse wire screen
will take out all gravel large
enough to be dangerous to the mower.
and the use of a smoothing harrow on
the meadows after the top dressing has
been applied, will obviate all danger
from the grit left in the absorbent.
This practice will be cheaper than cis-
terms and liquid manure carts. If els
terms are used, they should be at dis
lance from the stable, with a foot or
two of earth over them. The tempera-
turc would then be kept low, and fer
mentation and escape of ammonia re-
tarded. A trap-sink in the stable
would receive all liquids, which would
flow thence to thecistern in close pipes.
Liberal use of gypsum around and in
this sink would prevent any trouble
from bad odor in the Satisfactorily
Gentleman.
Light leaf-mold from the woods is
the best absorbent of urine from cows
and other stock in stables and pens.
Loan an earth are too heavy to haul
and handle over two or three times.

GLaDsrOxE on RITUALIsM.

The Dublin correspondent CT the London
Times writes: 1.-The publication of Mr..
Gladstone's article on Ritualism is likely
10 cause a serious rupture with his Roman
Catholic supporters in Ireland. His allu-
sion TO the bloody reign of Mary and the
whole passage in which he declares that
the effort to Romantic the Church Of Eng
land is utterly hopeless and visionary. are
quoted and commented upon in tone OF
bitterresentment. The freenda's Journal
observes that the passage viii be perused
throughout Ireland with establishment and
regret. Il says:
at is not the utterance of an obscure
fanatic or a half demented NO-PUpery ora
tor. Ii is the deliberate jitteTance Of a
statesman whose genius, elOquence, and
career have won for him worldwide fame,
whose name is on the lips of the nations of
the world. and who has ruled the mighty
Empire Of Britain for six years with per-
sonal sway and authority unknown in our
history since the shattered frame and broken
heart of Pitt were borne 10 the Abbey.
Above all, it is the deliberate utterance of
a nan who has conferred some signal SER
vices on the people of Ireland, and for
whom the people Of Ireland cherished a re-
gard and esteem which the late errors and
of his administration could
not entirely ebliterate.r

Washington Correspondence of the New York

The prominence which the third term
question has assumed, especially since
the late Western elections, is not ig-
nOred herein Administration circles, and
is more than likely now TO receive
prompt attention and earnest consider.
alton upon the return of President
Grant, which will take place imme.
diately after his sons wedding. A
member of the Cabinet, now in this
city, has expressed himself very clearly
to your correspondent, and from what
he says there can be no longer any
doubt that the President Will be siren
uously urged immediatelyto make pub
lie the sentiments which, it is said, he
has all along freely expressed in private
conversations to his official advisers
ana personal friends. "There is no
use in trying to misconstrue the pOpu-
lar viii as indicated by the elections
last Tuesday" said this member of the
Cabinet, "for if it means anything, it
is that the people of this country do
not intend to have a third-term Presi-
dent, if they can help themselves, and
the sooner we recognize this state of
facts the better will it be for the ad-
ministration and Republican party,
and the stronger will they become"
The views thus briefly expressed are
shared by many of the closest and
and warmest supporters Of the admin
istration, and the current has set so
strongly in this direction that it is con-
fidently believed that President Grant
will effectually silence all further agita-
ton of this question by an authorita-
tive statement or letter soon after his
return from the West.

A NEW WAY TO DIE.

Human ingenuity has been much eXer-
cised in devising new ways to live, but
scaut attention has hitherto been paid to
the discovery of original methods of death.
People have shuffied offthis mortal coil in
distnessingly similar ways. It has been
reserved for Miss BOOmershine, of Phillips
County, Kan, to crown her sex with fresh
glory by inventing brand-new, first-class
way of travelling to that bourne, etc. Miss
3. had acquired, in her native village, in
Georgia the usual accomplishments Of the
bellies of that neighbOrhOod. She dipped
snuff with the utmost dexterity, and she
saved her parents much needless expense by
cultivating keen appetite for clay. 1t is
said that in three weeks she ate up a small
hill which was in the way of a projected
railway, and thus saved the company the
cost of excavation. Her rivals affirm, how
ever, that the time spent was four weeks,
instead Of three. However this may be,
there can be no doubt that one busy Miss
B. was emphatically made of clay. Eve
could not have surpassed her in that re-
spect. In an unluckly hour, the Boomer
shines moved into the gTaSshOpper lands of
Kansas. A distressing phenomenon follow
ed. The daughter began to dislike her
staple diet before half OF the clay bank Op-
poSite the house was consumed. This
would not have been so bad in itself had she
not developed at the same time an alarm
ing fondness for all green things. What
the grasshOppers had left she devoured.
One night she swept the corn field bare.
Her angry father sought her in vain the
next morning. She came home in the
evening after an all-day lunch on two acres
of pOtatO-vineS. When other resources
failed, she Joined the family COW in the
pasture lot, and played Nebuchadnezzar
with such dexterity that the poor thing
died three days thereafter from lack of food.
From time to time she said she felt as ifshe
could ''take wings and fly away" A doc
tor dOsed her in vain. She grew worse
rapidly. Her predatory excursions into
the neighbors' fields embrOiled the whole
vicinity. When the grasshOppers began to
fly away, the end came. Miss b. watched
them from the window. Suddenly she rush
ed from tie house. Her anxious friends
followed Just in time to see the hope of the
BoOmershines play boomerang by tapping
her arms as if they were wings, rising ten
feet in the air, and falling back into her
tracks dead. A pOst-HOrtem examination
revealed the mystery. The clay the girl
had consumed in Kansas was covered with
gIaSshOppeT eggs. These had Matched out
inside. She ''waS literally swaTming with
gTasshoppers." Their influence had led to
her vegetable-eating, and their desire 20 90
with their comrades had finally caused her
death. The discovery Of this new way to
die belongs to Kansas; we are but the hum
BILE agency to give it a wider notOriety.

MANURE FOR WHEAT.

The Dela1Care State Journal says:
wherever organic matter abounds in
the soil free use of bones and potash
Will speedily restore it to its original
fertility. In sandy soils organic mat
ter in the form Of peat, muck, or leaf
mold should be combined with the
bones and potash. The finer the bones
are ground, the more.speedy their ac-
ton. If the bones are ground in a raw
state, that is without steaming or
burning, and ground very fine and
mixed with three times their weight Of
fine muck or peat, or leaf mold, and
kept moist for three weeks before being
used, they will generate all the am
monia necessary to the rapid growth
of wheat, Of other growing crops, with
out the addition Of other substances"
Ground bones have been mixed with
hot stable manure in England for the
last fifty years. Clover and land
plaster are the cheapest manure for
wheat, under a wise system of rotation
of crops.

WHY GEN. SIBERIAN Is OUT OF
FAVOR
New York Times.


Why is it that a demand for Gen.
Sherman's resignation appears SO sud-
denly In the paper at Washington,
which is known as the official organ of
the Administration?-NelC York Sun.
1t all grows out of Sherman's mis-
conduct toward the ruling family.
When Mr.. f. d. Grant graduated at
West Point, two or three years ago,
and was commissioned as a second
lieutenant IN a cavalry regiment, his
affectionate mother determined that in
stead of serving with his company
among the cruel and savage Indians,
he should enjoy life at Washington In
some official capacity that would keep
him about the court with as large pay
as possible. The best thing that could
be discovered IN this line was a place
on Sherman's staff. 1t would make
the young fellow a colonel, with the
full pay and allowances of that rank,
and it would insure his presence at
Washington with very little to do.
When Gen. Sherman was applied to
with this proposition, he fatty declined.
HIS staff was full, he said; its men,
bers had served with him through the
wal, and he would not dismiss any ofthem
to make aplaee for any new graduate of
the Academy, no matter whose son he
might happen to be. And if a vacancy
should occur, he should certainly APP
point to it some officer who had de-
served promotion by his services in
the war.
This refusal was the beginning of
Gen. Sherman's disgrace at the White
House, which became complete when
his daughters wedding peat that of
Miss Grant in pomp and splendor, and
it has now eliminated in his demand
for his resignation.
Denied by Sherman, the application
was next made to Sheridan, at Chicago.
He had not the courage of his superior
officer, and did not dare TO disobey the
family command. He turned out Col.
Forsyth, one of the bravest of the
brave. with half dozen rebel bullets
in. his body, and made Fred Grant a
Northumberland in his place, with the
chance of loafng in Chicago or Wash
ington, as he might prefer.
And, now, if Sherman could be
driven to resign, Sheridan would be-
come General of the Army, and Fred
would be colonel instead of a lieu
tenant colonel, and would get about
800 a year more pay.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
What the Democrats VIII Gain I'm the
Southern States.


"H. V. b. in the Cincinnati Commercial.
Hardly any one believed that it would a
week ago, but now a good many believe
that il will. In this direction there was
universal surprise at the result in Ohio and
Indiana. If the other Northern States,
not counting New England; make proper
tiOnately the same gains rs Ohio and In
diana, the next Congress will certainly be
Democratic.
Here in the South / can tell you, almost
TO a district, what the result will be.

as correspondent of the Commercial, and
have taken pains to Inform myself as to
the probable result In every Congressional
District. Upon summing up, / put the
Democratic gain of Congressman I'm the
Southern States, not counting Missouri
and Maryland, at twenty-One, and do not
believe that il will come a single one
under that, although there is possibility,
if not probability, that it will go one or
two over. This includes the two gained
in North Carolina in August-a
gain that was made solely on account of
the Civil Rights bill. / know this to be
so, for was in North Carolina the week
before the election, and speak positively
IOIu u huOMlcuSc Vi Tue IdctS. lie gam
In the other Southern States, solely on ac-
count of the bill, will reach ten at least, so
we find that the Democrats are indebted to
the Senate's action on that measure for a
dozen COngresSnen. | do not speak of
this unadvisedly; | have been over the
ground, and know exactly what am talk
ing about. Other causes and changes will
give them nine or ten, so you may count ON
a gain of tWenty-one Congressman for
the Democrats in the Southern States,
but, to be on the safe side of the guess, put
it twenty. The gain in Ohio and Indiana
is thirteen. This makes thiry-three. To
give Congress to the Democrats will re-
quire gain Of fifty-seven. Nov, if in the
Northern States holding elections next
month, including Missouri and Maryland,
the Democrats gain twenty-four Congress
men, they will have the Legislative branch
of the government under their control. If
they miss it, it will be closer clipping than
agreeable to some people, and notably
the Southern carpet-baggers and Office
holders.

EARN AND GARDEN.
FARM ROLLERS.

Precisely so. We have tried in vain
to buy a farm roller in Nashville.
Grass seed should be mixed with plas-
ter and both sown by horsepower.
Once we cut wheat with a sickle; but
now, horses do the reaping. Mules

SEND HIM TO SIBERIA.

washington special 10 the baltimore sun.
There is very strong opinion among
the closest of the friends of the Adj
ministration in this city, that Judge
Williams will retire from the Office Of
Attorney General at the beginning Of
the next session of Congress, and that
his name will be sent to the Senate for
the Russian mission. The delay in the
appointment of a successor to Mr..
Jewell is accounted for in this way.
Nothing could probably suit his tastes
better than Russia, one Ct the few re-
naming despotisms of the universe,
where the military power is the favor
tie means of ruling the people. Let
him go, pay his way, and give him, if
possible, permanent residence in St.
Petersburg, and for summer retreat
a lodge in some vast wilderness of ST.

DOES A RAILWAY TICKET SECURE
SEATo
New York World. Oct. o.

Sunday afternoon, about forty paSsen-
gers on the LIS p. NJ. Erie train from New
York were obliged TO stand half the way to
Paterson, and consequently several of them
refused to give up their tickets to the con-
ductOr unless he furnished them with seats.
After they had got seats, they insisted that
they should not be obliged to pay their fare
for the time and distance during which they
had no seats. The conductor refused to
aceede to this proposition, and elected the
resisting passengers near PaSSaic. Mr..
Joseph c. Todd, President of the Todd and
Rafferty, Manufacturers Company, was one
of this party, and he has brought suit
against the Erie Railway for $1,000. Mr..
l. C. Blaming, a Philadelphia jeweler,
and two residents of Paterson, have also de-
cided 10 sue the Erie Railway Company for
damages.

New York Correspondence OF the Chicago

New York Correspondence OF the Chicago
Tribune.
Every year we are prone TO declare the
new hats more unbecOming and ungainly
than ever before. But, hitherto, we have
misused our mOther-tongue. Though we
know 1t not, superlativeS, ere this, have
been wretchedly out of place. Privately,
/ am inclined TO think that some of the
masculine lighthouses, having had large
stocks Of felts left over for a season or two
past, must have disposed of them cheaply
to miliiners, who agreed to bring them out
as something novel for women. Ger
tain it is, that no shadow of difference
can be detected between a majority
of the new feminine head-coverings
and the soft summer feltS worn BY
men. They are identical even to the mar
row repped ribbon binding, and the band
around the crown. There are, of course,
variations of the high-crowned mannish
style; but that prevails, and may welt be
considered the style of the season. Indeed,
certain economical persons are trimming
and freshening their husbands last sum
mer hats, thereby rendering themselves
modish and thriftful at the same time. The
brims of the hats are unwired, and, there
fore, offer an irresistible opportunity for
jaunt, and pokes, and dents, which is eager
ly embraced by the trimmers.
