Buried one or two inches deep, they
came up soon, bore early, but did not
last long .Atthree' and four inches in
depth, they came'upthree or four days
later, did not bear quite so early, but
gave heavier crop and continued for a
longer time. At five and six inches
depth, they appeared two or three days
later, and grew about as vigorously a.
the others, and continued still later.
At eight and ten inches they were long
in oomillgsup and did not produce 20

came up from twelve inch planting.
MIR. E. thinks about four inches the
most profitable depth in strong soils.
We may add in this connection that
last year we made a series Of expert
ments to determine the effect of time on
the terminating powers Of the pea-
varying from one to five year old seed.
The oldest seed was nearly week long
or in coming up than the fresh seed,
but in other respects little difference
was observed, although the plants from
the old seed were at first hardly a. Wig
orous. Two year seed was about two
days later in appearing than fresh seed.
Those who desire peas a. early o. pos
sible will therefore select fresh seed.

The Bloodiest Tragedy in American
- s"I| History.

The 9th Of March was the anniver-
sary of the bloodiest tragedy in Amer
lean history. On that day, thirty-eight
years ago, COL James w. Fannin and
AS mon were shot to death by the Mex
leans under Urea in the port at Goliad,
Texas. A week before, Fannin and his
force; being surrounded by the enemy
and al: the mercy Of their artillery, sur
sendered and were taken to Goliad.
Major Ward, whom Fannin had sent
with 100 men to escort some Irish fami-
lies, was also captured, and the Ameri-
cans were massacred together on Sun
day morning.

F.l,.eies I. Chec.o.Nski,s.


At the last meeting of the American
Dairymans' Association, at Utica. n.
Y, +. d. Curtis, of Syracuse, read a
paper on what he termed 'Fallacies in
Cheese-making." He said that one fall
Lacy, which had been widely ,published
as true. was that Of making scheese in
the shape of cubic cylinder, and ex-
pect to have the cheese sell at profit.
Mr., Curtis thought that q cheese made
in square form exposed more surface
to the air, and therefore is more liable
to dry up and become tasteless. He has
never seen a small cheese of any shape
that was as good and rich as q, large
one. For good curing no cheese should
be smaller than so pounds: nor larger
than 100, In such q. cheese there il
some rich meat. Square cheese, il
made large, are worse to handle, more
like q box Of hardware. A large round
cheese can be rolled in handling. An
other fallacy is the making of skim or
half skim cheese. These are made at
creameries, and the manufacturers
claim that they are equal in richness
and profit to fnll-milk cheese. "Good''
cheese can be made "half. skim," but
first-rate'' is the objective standard of
all good dairymen. There is a limited
demand for half-skin cheese at the
South, on account of the less liability
to melting or running down in hot
Weather. He thought that making this
cheese deteriorates the reputation of
American cheese, and that is suicidal.
Good cheese sells readily at fair price
in any market, while the skim cheese ia
slow and dull even at low prices, The
human system requires certain amount
of fat in the food, and this fat is mixed
in a healthy proportion with casein in
milk. Why not eat the butter with the
cheese, as nature designed, and do Less
skimming? If we take the butter ont
of the cheese, we lessen the quality and
do not increase the profits. The cheese
is made unhealthy in hygienic point
of view, being harder, not ripening up
mellow, and is quite indigestible.
Health. profit and national pride all
unite in forbiddinas any taking out of
the rich natural oil from the milk before
making it into cheese.
In the discussion which followed.
Mr.. Holdridge, of Otsego County, N.
Y, spoke in favor of making small,
square cheese, exhibitinga sample made
at his factory. This cheese is very dry,
will keep anywhere, and when wanted
for use only requires moistening alittle.
The expense of boxing is a. little as for
round cheese. He sells such cheese for
two and half to three cents per pound
higher than ordinary good cheese, and
this more than makes up for the extra
drying.

Antoine Macs, ian old man who got
his meagre living by tilling the garden

in the city squares" going into Brus-
sells for his days trade, had seen gray
bundle floating among the water lilies
IN the bit OF water near his hut, and
had hooked it out to land, and found a
year-old child in it, left to drown, no
doubt, but saved by tho lilies, and
laughing gleefully at fate. Old Antoine
took it to his wife, and the wife, a child
less and aged soul, begged leave to
keep it, and the two poor, lonely simple
folks grew to care for the homeless,
motherless thing, and they and the
people about all called it Only

Bebee was left alone While she was still
a child. She had still lived on by her
self in the little hut they had left her,
raised her flowers in the garden, trudg-
ed into the city every morning to sell
the fresh blossoms, led an innocent and
happy, though homely and toilsome
life, doing little acts of kindness to all
about her, and ''had grown up straight

General Gordon, Of Georgia.

Gen John B. Gordon's address before the
Alumni of the Georgia University at
Athens, ia thus noted by a correspondent
The distinguished speaker, Senator John
B. Gordon, entertained the vast assembage
for an hour and forty minutes in AS brilliant
an effort as we have ever heard, and was
constantly interrupted by applause. He
spoke in advocacy of establishing depart
ment of government in all of our colleges,
where the student can learn ITS science,
and how to create wise laws. He charged
our universities with producing an abund
ance of merchants, farmers. doctors, and
even lawyers, but no law makers. He gave
an eloquent review of the most important
questions now agitating our country. The
conflict between labor and capital, to- which
he attributed the recent Communist hor
rors in France; the finances, tho elective
franchise, where it begins and ends, and
che centraliziDg tendencies of the times.
He made an indirect allusiOn to the recent
controversy between two of Georgia's
greatest sons, and deplored, as affair, any
attempt to put the responsibility of the
defeat of the Southern Confederacy upon
the shoulders of any of its citizens.
He argued that in the face of such
odds success was impossible !; and while
we all Numbered, it was not right to
try to make any one man the scapegoat
of the balance. The orator discussed
by turn the political profigacy of the
day, stealing, in high places, bribery in
office, and dwelt for a long time upon the
tyranny of an unrestrained majority rule.
In conclusion he argued that the best guar
antee of good government was to be found
in people who had been educated in the
science of craftsmanship, and gave the
students advice relative to making their
lives prosperous to themselves and benefi-
cial to their country. The address has won
for General Gordon the highest epcomiums
from all who heard it.

THE BUSINESS OF JoURNALISM.-ln COM
mentipg upon the failure of Mr.. j. Y.
Scammon, of Chicago, as newspaper
manager, McCullagh, of the ST. Louis
Globe, one of the most successful journalists
of the West, tells plain truth in the fol-
lowing words:
The business of journalists will continue
to be au inviting field for experiment to
to those who have n large amount OF money
and large amount of ego;ism A man
who, having edited newspaper until he
was forty, should suddenly announce him
self lawyer, would be regarded "a a fool
by the legal profession and yet, we often
hear of lawyers of forty making sudden
pretention to journalism. There is an idea
that the business of editing requires no
apprenticeship; that editors come forth
from law offices and colleges fully armed
for the profession, like Palles from the
brow of Jove. 1t is a mistake there is
not in America to-day a single journalist of
national reputation who has not devoted
more time and more hard work to his pro-
fession than, with equal fitness and appli-
cation, would have made him a great law
yer or a good doctor. And yet ninety out
of every hundred men You meet on the
street will hesitate about carrying hod
or making pair of shoes, whereas there
will probably not be one in the hundred
who can't, according to his own Judgment,
edit any newspaper in the country better
than it is edited, no matter in what manner
or by whom.

The Bombay Catholic Examiner last re

The Bombay Catholic Examiner last re
ceived has the following interesting letter
from one of its correspondents:
KooLIKUNEL, May %, 1874.
"By the help of God we are going on
pretty well. Some five years ago a census
was made of the Christians of the District
Of Dindigul, and 4 500 Catholics were found.
We have just finished a new census, which
gives S, 853 souls, SO that there is an increase
of nearly one thousand. These figures are
only for Dindigul North for in Dindigul
South, which has its missionary, there are
about the same number of Christians.
Moreover, further in the southwest there
is another missionary, who has to look after
1900 Catholics. To these must be added
nearly 5000 Christians under the spiritual
Jurisdiction of the Goa. So that there are
about 1000 Catholics in this valley of
Dindigul. In the far west the Missionary is
asked for in many villages, in order to
teach and baptize catechumens already
prepared /; but to assure their perseverance,
it would be necessary to give them some
small churches and pay come catechists.
Therefore, for want of funds the missionary
the baptism of many. In another district
the indefatigable Father Trincal, s. j., has
lately, in one day, baptized ninety one
persons of the noble caste of Naiks. He
has also been able to build three small
chapels in three villages formerly converted
by him. This news will, trust, please
your readers and all interested in Catholic
missions. We have had here for the last
month Father Lessmann, late of Bombay,
who enjoyed well this unparalleled climate.
We have now Father de Cock from the
Mission of Calcutta. He is also much de-
lighted with the place. Our thermometer
here to-day is $40 Fahrenheit.

How SUDDEN WEALTH UPsErs MEN,
Sudden wealth upsets men more frequently
than makes them. Very few know how to
use money unless they have earned it by
painful application to business. The man
who drew the bIg Crosby Opera House in
Chicago, some years ago, died poor man,
sums of money, and lost it. The journey
mau carpenter, in Peoria, Ill.,, VINO three
years ago fell heir to $3.50, 900 by the death
of his uncle, has his money yet; for he was
so conscious of HE inability t" use it as
other men do, and 30 afraid OF losing it,
that he simply boards it, taking from the
principal enough each week to pay his
expenses. He thinks 1t will support him
as long as he lives, as it doubtless will !;
but a more miserable man never lived.
Johny Steel, the Petroleum Prince, ran
through his millions in riotous living, inside
of three years.
