LONDON GAS STArIsTICs.-We
give some statistics in relation to
gas that may prove interesting
1he manufacture of gas is conduct.
cd in London by eight companies,
having seventeen gas works. The
aggregate capital of these compa-
MES amounts To more than eleven
millions pounds sterling, The IL
Eliminating power of the gas man
uiactured is sixteen sperm candles.
The annual consumption of coal
used in making gas is one million
and a half oftons. The quantity
of gas consumed in 1879 was about
thirteen millions Of thousand of
cubic feet, which would make the
average about nine thousand cubic
feet to the ton. The gas mains va
ry from four feet to three inches in
diameter, extend with their bran
chcs two thousand miles, and fur
nish gas to fifty-four thousand,
one hundred and nineteen lamps
in the public streets. The price
of gas at this time in London to
private consumers is about one
dollar per thousand feet, yet the
manufacture is SO profitable thai
the maximum rate of dividend an
nually declared by the companies
is restricted by act of Parliament
to 81 per cent. on the total share
capital.

ON TUESDAY, JUNE 18TH. 1876,
How 10 Fatten Land.

the farmer is often inquiring
into the best way to make his
land rich, SO that it will yield him
the greatest amount of profit.
One will say,I use guano; an
other, phosphate; another ashes
and plaster, ect.; and all claim
they have the best of crops from
each. Now experience is a good
thing, and as it is different ou
different kinds of soil, l will give
you my views. If | wish to
fatten pig | do not give him
just one ear of corn or a spoonful
of corn meal, but it gets good
square meal, and that brings the
fat, just so with the land. If
l wish to raise good crop of
onions, corn or potatoes, or any
other crop, l put on from twenty
to forty tons of good stable man
ure to the acre, and it never fails
to show itself in a rich return.
But some may say, put on one
ton of phosphate or guano and
you will save time and trouble in
hauling, and will get just as good
q crop. But 1 don't believe that
statement, tor when I plow under
thirty to forty tons of good stable
manure l have a body there, and
when plow it again the soil has
a different color and richness that
you don't see when you use
phosphates and other fertilizers in
homeopathic doses. But some
may say, suppose you live where
you cannot get manure-what
would you do then? Circumstances
altes cases, but in that l would do
the best Icould. l would plow
under clover or something else,
so as to get body, and then
perhaps use q little stimulant, if
l could do no better; but always
use the one that is good and the
least expense to you. If you
wish your carriage to look we'll
first get two or three coats of
good paint put on it; that makes
u good foundation; then comes the
varnish, and though it shines well
it is the first to pass away; so
with guano, phosphate, ashes,
plSSter, ect. They do well in tho
hill, and as top dressing, and
should be used when they don't
cost too much. But to see mon
ey in fertilizers at big price,
requires larger opticst than l
p )ssess. Now if there are any
who read this, and think my rea-
soning in correct, and will give us
the other side, 1 shall be greatly
pleased and perhaps benefited

Official Attention Directed to Galveston.
Wo.bir ytnn aneciaI m ti,a Galyestoo

A Washington special TO the Galveston
Ne,cs says:
Messrs. Hancock and Reagan called upon
the Secretary of War this morning for the
purpose of consulting him in regard to the
protection of Galveston in case foreign war
They called his attention to the fact that
although Galveston is now about the sixth
city in the Union in commercial importance,
it is entirely without means of defense from
attack by hostile naval forces. The Secre-
tary of War agreed with them that some
measures looking to the fertilization of
Galveston harbor were very desirable, and
requested them to call on the chief of en-.
gineers, General Humphreys. and consult
with him on the subject. He said that he
himself would also see General Humphreys
and give the matter careful consideration.
General Humphreys also favored plans
for fOrtifying Galveston. and the represen-
tatives from Texas have cause to hope that
some recommendation on the subject will
soon be made to Congress.
Messrs. Hancock and Reagan called Cen
eral Humphreys attention to the necessity
OF constructing breakwater to protect the
city OF Galveston from st0rms from the
Gull, and the latter drew up an amendment
to be moved to the river and harbor appro-
pristion bill, ordering q survey for this pur-
pose to be made. The object of this survey
will be to ascertain the character of struc-
ture which it will be practicable to erect,
its location and cost.

The money market has shown no material
change during the past week. The sltua-
ton continues to be characterized by an
accumulation of funds and only limited
demand for their employment. The ap-
proach of the season tor the commence
ment of the spring trade does not appear to
have impaired any degree of animation to
the market The discount demand, both at
the banks and outside, is light, and money
is quoted at cheaper rates than have been
known in this market for considera'
BILE period. With the prospect of large
surplus of unemployed funds. the attention
of capitalists appears to have been
directed to stocks and securities. IN
which the movement has been consider
able during the week, and the inquiry COZ
tinues good. The f0reign and domestic eS-
chance markets have been moderately
active. Sterling and francs were quoted
stronger to-day, and New York sight was IN
good demand and sitter at the rullng lates.
City bonds have been fairly active, with an
upward tendency during the week, ana are
Quoted at an advance for nearly all issues.
The excitement in new State consOis ap-
pears to have subsidized. Since last week
they have shown but little animation, aud
the official quotations Of the Stock Ex-
change show decline OF about Y cent,
as compared with last week.
The following statement obtained, from
an official source, shows the condition OF
the bonded, certified and floating debt OF
the city on December 81, 1879, as compared
with the same date in 1871
