The Michigan Agricultural College
made careful experiments with differ
ent mAnures as top dressing for grasses,
with the following results, as summar-
lied by the farmers Of that State: The
results Of a single top dressing on eight
plots-half an acre each = OF sandy,
warm soil, exh ibited the following facts
ut the end OF three years:
Tue top dressing was applied In 1864,
and the grass was cut twice each sea-
son in 1854 and 1865. The produce OF
each cutting and each lot was weighed
separately, and a perfect record kept.
The results for the tour seasons We're
as follows: ,. III.
On the plot to which no manure or fer
tilizer were applied, the total weight oil
hay Welded per acre was {, ,74o pounds.
Where two bushels OF plaster per acre
were applied, the yield per acre was 3D.
226 pounds, gain OF 4,4S4 pounds.
Where five bushels of WOOD ashes We're
applied, the yield per acre was 12,0J7, a
gain Of 4, 1856 pounds. Where three
bushels of salt were sown per acre, the
Weld was l3, ,O6J pounds, q gain per acre
OF 5,227 pounds. Where twenty loads OF
muck per acre were laid on, the yield
was 1860 pounds,a gain Of IA pounds,
These are results which indicate that
there are fertilizers which Will produce
as good results as plaster. For In

Marriage Of the Literati.

Literary people are more liable to mat
rilnonial difficulties than other classes
because they so rapidly exhaust one
another. A literary man who is obliged
by his profession to advance in knowledge
will soon reach a higher plane than that
occupied on the wedding day. 1t is pos
sible that such an instance may witness
separation OF thought ana culture such
as could never occur i'll the lie OF q lar
mer. Hence, the wife OF literateur may
become merely q housekeeper instead OF
companion. BY the same RUE we
notice the improperly OF woman
strictly literary in taste marrying an IL
Iitorate man. We have u number of fe-
male writer's who have attained rank In
the world of letters, and are married to
men whose sole distinction Is found In
their wives. The latter increase In men-
tai culture, while their husbands are en-
crossed with the cares of business. They
nave but little social Importance, except
as being the provider or occasional es-
cort, me woman fiuds that her nus
band does not equal, and he soon ceases
| to be her real companion. such Wo-
man must pursue solitary path or lind
congenial society elsewhere. Some
| years ago Mrs. Sigourney was popular
writer, but it was little known that she
was the wife of mere carpet dealer In
Hartford. He was very proud OF her
talents, but all that such man could do
| was to offer the tribute Of his praise 70
mis- more gifted wife, and be content to
| assume the place Of weaker vessel.
1t has been questioned whether such
unions can be formed adyantageously,
but | think that experience Is In the al
| firmative. A united LIE OF THIS characger
should he mutually educational. Wo-
| a
man, from the affected aud assumed i'm
portance of the sex, often objects to re-
ceiyiug lessons from wife. In this he
commits q great mistake. Another er-
ror on the part of literary men (espe-
cially the ciergy) is the expectation OF
coDjigal praise for their performance.
Clergy men are generally rayenous for
hattery, and as long as the wife admin
listers it her words are acceptable, but IL
she offers judlcious censure 1T IS very
unpalatable. A really sensible preacher,
if he nave a clear.heaued wife, Will nnd
her criticisms very useful. 1t is said by
Scott. the commentator. that he read his
sermons to his wife before delivering
them in the pulpit, and found her sug-
gestions very valuable. TWO working
editors of this city are married to very
clever writer's whose earnings are large.
The subject Of literary marriages has
been handled adm rably by Philip Gil
bert Hamilton in his volume Of letters
entitled "Intellectual Lite." DR.. John
son's remark may be quoted in the neg.
atiye. "a man." says he, sis, as gen
eral thing, better pleased with his wife
when she cooks good dinner than wher
she speaks Greek" 1t is to be remem
bered, however, that in Johnson's dag
every ybody did not, as at present, live II
boarding houses.-Temple Bar.

THE way that California business mat
ters move along in spite Of the furry has
q tendency to convince one that solid
basis is not so very Objectionable after
all. The excitement In financia! circles
was great, and the suspension of pay
ment by the banks sudden, but we do
not read OF any important business fail
ures following this. Merchants, some-
how, were able to meet or arrange their
obligations, manufacturers continued to
pay off their men, and mining operations
went on just as if the banks were notin
trouble. Let four leading banks in New
York suspend payment for a single day
and there would be such business
crash that year would be required to
restore the quietness that now prevails

THE manipulators of the Democratic
Convention managed to nominate a
legislative ticket that can be depended
upon, if elected, to vote the necessary
funds to finish the Southern Railway.
For that purpose the ticket is good
one. Possibly the Republican nominees
can be relied upon for the same purpose.
1t is well, however, to have the facts
before election day. Meanwhile, the
Trustees should have ready statement
as to the condition of the work, the cost
thereof and the probable amount needed
to finish the job. Messrs. Trustees, it is
mot best to wait. Delays are dangerous.
Let us have the statement SO that we
can go.to work intelligently in the mat
ter. 1t is better to have the subject fully
discussed now, rather than to take the
chances of an expensive and well.regu-
lated lobby next winter.

Its managers are human beings, and as
such are inclined to make the most of a
situation. The only way to regulate
them is by healthy competition. We
would no more see the Western Union
broken down than the Atlantic and Pa
cific, but it is giant, and the public
should see that its rival is made "foe-
man worthy of its STEEL"
The telegraph business has grown to
fenormous proportions. In no other
country can it be what it is here. Our
business centres are so remote from
each other that message by telegraph
will outstrip letter by days, while in
England, France, and most other coun-
trles,' the saving is only in hours.
This popularity of our commercial re-
lations makes the telegraph of the ut
most Importance to us, and. the interests
of, the country require that there shall
be such rivalry in the business as will
4 insure the most rapid developments of
the still poorly understood science to
which the telegraph owes its existence,
and as will guarantee the most speedy
and satisfactory transaction of the vast
and important business intrusted to its
care. We are informed that the man.
ayers of the Atlantic & Pacific Company
are now energetically at work repairing
old lines, building new ones, and open
ing offices at points not heretofore
reached. Business men should see to it
that the advantages of the opposition
are fairly tested, and if they did as good
work give them chance.

WE PUBLISH to-day, in 4 condensed
sorm, the result of a thorough investiga-
ZION OF the prospects Of the fall trade, as
made by the STAR reporters during a
lew days past. Great care has been ex-
brcised in gathering this information,
md every effort used to make it of re-
liable nature and true mirror OF the
prospects for our merchants and manu-
lecturers, and for the laboring people
dependent upon the condition of trade.
There are very few who are not con-
serned directly or indirectly in the con-
aition OF the trade and its prospects
lside from the press Of the articles of
laily household use. Nearly every man
pr woman who works for wages or sal
Try is affected by depression in trade,
and nearly every one Of this class will
rejoice to know that the prospects are Of
IN encouraging character. With the
rood trade and good payments comes a
Keneral resumption of manufacturing
business. The factories will, with the
increased demand, furnish employment
for larger numbers at better prices, the
transportation lines will employ more
men and pay them more money for their
work and the prices Of farm products with
the general good crop will be plentiful
and OF a reasonable price. Nearly every
man questioned in regard to trade and
manufacturing prospects has given en-
couraging replies. The excellent crops
are enabling the farmers to pay up their
bills Of last year and to pay cash for
what they buy. This acts in mostgrati-
tying manner upon the wholesale and
manufacturing men Of the city, as it
gives their patrons, the country mer.
chants, an opportunity Of paying their
ewn bills and gives them confidence in
purchasing for the future. The large
majority Of the manufactures of the city,
and in fact OF this section, are resuming
work and some of them are running at
their utmost capacity. The long con-
tinued lull in labor and manufacture has
given opportunity fort disappearance
Of the stock on hand, and with good
crops and good prices comes the demand
for manufactured articles and the money
TO pay for them. This will set the wheels
Of the factories and the hands OF the
workmen in operation, and will cause q
greater demand for labor and circulation
Of money among the people.

THE RIVER AIR.

We have more than once, but not too
often, called attention in these columns to
the advantages of means of main
tanning and of restoring health of the
numerous and varied trips which the enter
prising owners of the steamers plying upon
the Potomac arrange from time to time
for their own profit it is true, but the result
is in degree far greater than most persons
imagine, for the health as well as the
amusement and comfort of the people Of
the District. 1t is the crowning virtue of
these trips that they are so various in kind,
character and extent as to suit all intervals
of leisure, from an hour or so snatched from
press of business to weeks or more of ease,
and are arranged for all purses, from the
cents of the needlewoman to the more abun-
dant greenbacks of families of means. The
simplest trips are those of the City ofWash-
ington and City of Alexandria, which sell
round-trip tickets for Is cents each; that is,
nurse and child can spend an hour on the
river for Is cents. Almost daily there are
excursions of associations, &c, by whicha
day can be spent on the river for from so
cents to 81. Trips to Aqua Greek may be
made for 81; trips to Mount Vernon for 81.
On Sundays there is generally an excursion
by one of the larger steamers for so cents,
and by the Mary Washington for 25 cents,
each spending four or five hours upon the
water. Every Monday evening the Memo
rial church makes trip on the Potomac,
starting at and returning at II O'clock, for
81 for lady and gentleman. On Mondays
also trip TO Chesapeake bay and Norfolk
may be made on the Lady of the Lake. the
round trip costing $3.50 to Point Lookout
(mouth Of the Potomac) or S. to Old Point
or Vue de Eau, near the mouth of the bay.
On Tuesdays the Pilot Boy makes excut-
sions to Blackstone island, for So the
round trip, and the Jane Moseley makes
an excursion to the bay similar to that made
by the Lady of the Lake. On Wednesday
there are the usual daily trips of the steam
ers to Mount Vernon. Aqua Greek, Alex

LOUIS JENNINGS, by the stupidity of its
business managers, the editor of the New
York Times, pretends to own nine shares of
the stock of that paper, a portion of which he
assumes to have purchased from Col E. B.
Morgan, who bought it from the estate of a
deceased stock holder to prevent it from
falling into the hands of the Tammany
ring. But the truth is, Jennings has never
had complete possession of those nine
shares. They were carried for him for
some time by q banker-A. V. Stout by
name; but Stout got tired of his bargain,
became disguised at Jennings management
of the Times, and refused to carry them any
Jay Gould in the Times without stint; but
about the time Stout refused to carry his
stock any longer, all uRfavorable allusion to
Jay Gould ceased in its columns The
question naturally arises, what became of
the stockf 1t is known that Jennings is
unable to buy it outright, because, poor
man, he is unable to settle number of pri-
yate bills he owes ''at 'ome in Lunnun."
Proof of this is TO be found in the fact that
bills of this kind against him are often re-
ceived at the business Office of the Times
Take him as you please, Jennings is dis
reputable fellow; but now that he is
liable TO suspicion as one of Jay Gould's
stool pigeons, there seems to be no reason
why he should be classed with such pro-
seasonal blackmailers as Charles A. Dana,
the editor of the New York Sun, which
"shines and stinks and sinks and shines"

Phil DAYS Philadelphia organ has the
impudence to declare that the "constitu-
tional amendment question" was not a
party issue in the recent North Carolina
election. The truth is, the proposition to
hold constitutional convention was made
and adopted by strict party vote in the
Democratic Legislature of that State in
opposition to the votes of all the Republi-
can members. The canvass was subse-
quently conducted on strict partisan prin-
.ciples, the speakers and newspapers for the
convention being Democratic, and those
against it Republican. A larger vote was
polled than usual, showing that the full
Democratic strength was brought out.
The explanation of the Republican victory
is to be found in the fact that the election
was comparatively peaceable, and that the
campaign on the Republican side was con-
Quoted by experienced and intelligent gen.
tlemen, who KIN ew how to put the truth
regarding the situation before the people
in such way as to arouse them to the i'm
portance of attending the polls. The
trouble with the Times, however, is fear
that the victory will be repeated in 1876
q fear that will certainly be realized. Its
twaddle about carpet-bag rule in the State
is sheer nonsense, and shows its deplora.
BILE ignorance of the facts. There are no
"k.yarpet baggers'' there, the mon
native" Republicans being respectable. in
dustrious citizens who have Joined with
10000 white native voters and 80, 900 col
oredRe publicans to preserve invlolable
constitution against which no objection
can be raised except that it was framed by
Republicans. This latter fact alone settles
the question regarding the political divisions
of the campaign.
