A small shovelful Of the fine and rich
manure beneath the stable floor, If put In

holes two feet square and one foot deep
in the garden, fiji them up nine inches
with manure and stamp II down well and
on this set box one foot square and nine
inches high. Then fill up six inches OF
the box with loamy soil, and on this plant
the seed, ten to twelve seeds in a hill.
Over the box put glass, then bank up
around the frame 10 the top with manure.
II is well to have the south side OF the
box an inch or two lowest, so that the rays
of the sun may strike the glass more d.
rectly. If there is a prospect OF frost or
cold nights after plants come up, cover
them under the glass with newspapers,
and also sheet over the glass. When
plants get an inch or so high, thin out TO
three plants in hils and when they
start 10 run nip off the ends OF the vines

The Cincinnati Commercial, some
tines Republican, sometime. Domocrat'
and sometimes neither and both, is
wiring up ex.Prosdent johnson for
tho United States Senate--as follows in
a recent issue:
In looking over Tennessee, we notice
ono man who seems to be Of larger pro.
portions than any other ia tho South.
His initials are A. j.
Tennessee has not had as strong a
man as Andy Johnson in tho Senate
siacc the time when Andy Johnson was
Senator.
1t is possible that our only living ex-
President isn't entirely sound on the
currency question; but ho is indisputa-
bly, sound on the honesty question.
If Grant is looking for third term,
we ought 10 have ex.President Andrew
Johnson, Of Tennessee, in the Senate.
But wouldn't Andy make Rome howl ?
There is much talk Of the suhservien-
cy to power Of not few Of our lead
ing men in both Houses OF Congress-
If Andy johnson were in the Senate,
that body would have one member who
would never be accused of subscrvicncy
to the present incumbent Of the White

recognition of this from people sup

Snake Story.

The Knoxville Chronicle Of the 2Gth
ult. says:
We learned yesterday that one Of tho
men working with McBabo Brothers,
on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad,
near Wartburg, Morgan county, killed
large double. headed black snake--ol
the species known as chicken snake
tho other day. Our informant says the
heads were fully developed, each head
having two eyes, aud when the snake
was discovered it was protruding the
tongue from each head. 1t Is certainly
a natural curiosity, aud should have
been preserved.
