The Law as IL Is,

The district attorney of Schenectady
county, N. Y, has written letter TO the
papers, arguing that the sentence of
Tweed by Judge Davis was not good
law, but that it ought to be made good
law and he points out numerous re-
CARDS in which the law absurdly and UNI
justly protects criminals. 1t is not only
in respect of forbidding the sentence of
man for all the offenses of which he is
found guilty that the law is defective.
1t is also defective in clogging the feet
of justice at every step by the most
strained Interpretation in favor of the
accused. The district attorney says:
elf A. B. be indicted for larceny and
the pleader make mistake in the amount
stolen, no amendment of the indictment
is permissible. IF the indictm mt charge
the prisoner with having stolen black
ben, and it turn on the trial it was not a
black hen that he took, but AIRED rooster;
or, that the property stolen was owned
by John Johnson, but the proof shows
that the legal title was in the trustee of
John Johnson or, if the charge be
burglary in the house of j. d. with in
tent to steal the goods of j. W., and it
appeer in evidence that no such person
had any goods in the house and that the
name at j. W. be q mistake for J. D.;
or, that the house broken into was the
house of J. D., and is proved to be the
house of j. W.; in all these cases, and
such as these, no amendments can be
made of the Indictment to meet the exact
proof, and the prisoner must be &C
quilted" ..- ..r.-
The origin of these safeguards about
an accused person, lawyers say, lies in
the times when English courts were
building up a barrier of technical de-
lenses against charges brought for politi-
cal purposes but in these later days ii
is obvious that the weaker party to
criminal suits is the public, and that
courts should now be instructed to in
tervene in its behalf, as they once had
to in behalf of alleged offenders. The
power that most nearly resembles in
this country the irresponsible power OF
the English kings before the Revolution
is that of political criminals. Some
means must be found to abridge it.

An Allegheny (Pa.) prisoner eIuded
constable by practicing a part of
the Davenport brothers trick upon him.
He has a flexible thumb, which may be
dislocated and reset at will, and which
enables him to make his hand, at its
largest circumference, no larger than his
wrist. The constable had handcuffed
him carefully and supposed that he was
safe, when suddenly the fellow slipped
the letters off and fed, leaving his
custodian for some minutes too much
astonished to follow.

Weeds or Insects.

Just now all American farmers are
suffering, in fact or anticipation, the
devastation OF insects, bugs, worms or
beetles. The cotton worm in the South,
the grasshopper in the extreme West,
the Colorado beetle now almost every
where, constitute q triad of troubles not
to be despised. Add to these orchard
lists suffer from the canker- worm, cod
ling moth, curculio, and gardeners from
the cabbage worm, turnip flea and a
host of other depredators, and it is hard
ly to be wondered at if American tillers

selves particularly under the curse origi-
nally pronounced against Adam on his
expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
Our tropical American sun mers and
unny skies are just the weather to
Lreed myriads of insect enemies.
If our climate is too favorable to in.
sects, the same dry, hot weather gives
American farmers q chance that English
farmers might envy to "get even " witt
the weeds. Damp, cloudy, rainy days
often for weeks in succession, keep the
soil moist so that the slightest root vii
grow. Here, if once fairly uprooted

dangerous enemy to good farming, whicl

Farm, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Concentrated nIanurcs.

Que Of the advantages of the use Of
concentrated fertilizers is that they are
free from the seeds Of innumerable weeds
with which our stable manures are
usually filled; and though we would not
recommend the undiscriminate use of
these substances as substitutes for barn
yard manure, there is no question that
u they can be got pure and honestly
made, this freedom from vile seeds
Is worth careful consideration. A Judi
cious practical farmer puts it in this
way; Twenty loads of barnyard ma
nuro, says he, care worth $40, and cost
the farmer perhaps twice that sum in
the consumption of hay by the neces-
sary number of cattle, over and above
their winter product of milk, even if the
cattle are not dry during that season.
These twenty loads, worth $40, will fer
tlllze but an acre of land, while half
that sum will furnish a manufactured
fertilizer of equal potency, the labor of
applying which will save at least So
more. The freedom from wild carrots,
dock, Canada thistles and other noxious
weeds Is further consideration in favor
OF this concentrated manure over the
crude article of the barnyard. Calico
printers for many years used the solid
excremeut of the COW to brighten and
fast colors Ill cotton CLOTH Some latent
quality was ascribed to the living ami
NAL, till it was discovered that mixture
OF phosphate of soda and some other
chemical salt answered the same pur.
pose, and was more clearly, economical
and convenient in application. Peruvian
bark, for many centuries, was regarded
as the only cure for fever, and the poor
patient was compelled, under the direc.
ton of the family physician, to drug his
port wine with this nauseous and bulky
remedy; but medical and chemica
science discovered that the curative
principle of this bark consisted of the
qulnlne to be extracted from it, and the
useless woody fiber is now dispensed
with. Agricultural chemistry has dis
covered that the larger part of the bulky
and useless portions of barnyard manur,
may be dispensed with, and the fertiliz
ing value is thereby reduced to a few
chemical elements which furnish foot
for plants or produce soluble action il
certain ingredients of the common soil
Guano, bonedust, phosphate of lime ant
gypsum constitute important represen
tatives of the fertilizing qualities needed
and when we reflect that but one-fortietl
of the weight of even the much valued
horse manure can be reduced to fertile
ing matter, we are irresistibly driven t,
the belief that corresponding reform
In fertilizing land is as necessary in ag
riculture as the introduction of minut
doses of quinine to cure the fever, in
