dent. There is often an expression of vulgar
defiance upon their faces. 1t is difficult to 6ud
an excuse for snobbery. What IS its ]aiS0S
dStre2 Is it that spirit OF sel6shness inherent
in most men which seeks to conserve benefits
and privileges? Certainly, s~nobbery is the
essence of seIfshness. The real reason, how
ever, is that there nave risen up in England.
during the present century. a class of men whose
fathers were in the gutter of social life. Their
exaltation has been too much for them. They
have imagiued themselves greater even than
they are. They have never been educated to
fill their position. They fondIy imagined that,
when they attained riches, they would be receiv.
ed with open arms by the aristooracy. They
find they are mistaken. They revenge the
snubs received from that quarter, by s%nubbing
all those who are beneath them. 1t adds to
their own importance to do so. This rami6es
down through our whole social life, aud the res
suit is before US. 1t is one of the evils Of
rapidly swelling community, and it is just pos
Sible it will work its own cure. If it does not,
there is, indeed, a dismal outlook for England
for, if we continue long to 60 on as we are
now going, W. shall become aeraeion of igno-
rant, selfish suobs, who love nothing but their

INQUIRY ABOUT SALT WATER.
From the Herald)

AK meeting of the Farmers Club. Amert-
can Institute, a letter from w. NJ. Peekham,
Middletown, r. /, was read as follows =
I have some suggestions I would like to
make in relation to the use of seaweed as
manure. My opinion is that one cord of sea-
weed is worth as much for raising corn, poSa-
toes or grass as q cord of the hest stable
manure. l should prefer the seaweed at"the
same price. Some forty years ago l remember
reading an analysis of seaweed which contained
ninety per cent Of salt water. The question
arises, if a manure containing ninety per cent
of salt water is as valuable as the best stable
manure, what can be made out Of salt water,
providing it be mixed with muck in the warm
season of the year? Fermentation will take
place, as the seaweed would he green at that
time of the year. If we can make a manure
from the muck as valuable as seaweed itself
it will be a lasting reserve to replenish our
soil. 1t could be pumped up by steam into
heaps TO ferment. The above is a question
for these that understand Analysing the soil
to test the value of muck before the introduce
ton of it. Mr.. Reed, of Newport, stated to
me that he bad a quantity of muck which he
mixed with salt water in the warm season.
The next spring he put the muck on corn, and
raised a large crop. A thorough analysis of
this will test its value and whether it will pay
to draw the salt water from the shore.
S. W. JOHNSON said the fertilizing value Of
this seaweed, as well as that of the muck COM
posted with salt water, lay mainly in the sea"
weed and in the muck, and not to much extent
in the salt water. 1t will not commonly pay
to carry salt water inland as a fertilizer.
While salt often acts benefcially Its benefits
can commonly be got more cheaply than by
transporting 100 pounds of sea water to get
three and a half pounds salt. The mud and
muck from the shadows and Dogs along the
shore, as we'll as the seaweed, are very useful.
but the water is "too thin " to bear trans
portation and too salt to nourish crops or even
to permit any but asparagus and beets to live
unless freshened by at least tenfold dilution.
S. E. ToDD said if q farmer can collect
seaweed without much expense, it will yield
sufficient fertilizing material to almost any SOIL
to remunerate generously for the labour in.

to meet the interest on it's bonds this
year, is certainly no excuse Tor the leg
lsiature to encourage any scheme thar

We have submitted to a tax Of 40 cents
for some time and we can stand it again
Pay the current expenses Of the State
government first, and as much Of our
interest debt as the residue Of our means
will discharge Say to the bondhoid-
ers that we will pay when we get able,
and take steps by retrenchmeht con-
vince them that our intentions are good.
The Slate can adopt the same policy that
the honest farmer adopts when he fails
to meet his Obligations on account Of a
failure in crops. He curtails expenses
| aud sets about honest efforts to keep his
creditors in good heart. The State can
| do the same and save her honor and keep
up the credit Of her people, If she can
not pay but FIVE cents on the dollar OF
the interest falling due let her "qui

been afflicted with the greatest money
panics, the worst drouths, the most de-
