A japanese Legend.

The following bit OF japanese romance
comes from gentleman who has been a
resident of Japan for some years past. II
was sent 10 one of his correspondents who
had written to him concerning a young
japanese of high rank who, when in this
country for the purpose of obtaining an
education, had assumed the name of Azu'
ma, in order to avoid betraying his rela-
tionship to the EmperOr's family.
The story is as follows Azuma is an
ancient name of Yedo, and is still applied
to it in songs and odes in the same way in
which we give to America the name OF
Columbia.
The origin of the name was this: An
Emperor in ancient times, about 2,700
years ago. was ON his way to Yedo by sea-
A violent storm arose, and it seemed as il
the vessel would certainly be lost. All on
board gave up hope. In this extremity
the EmperOr's young wife, thinking the
storm arose from the anger of the sea
god, resolved to sacrifice herself and save
the rest.
She stood on the deck and delivered a
beautiful poem, as is usual in such cases,
then leaped into the sea, which gradu-
ally ceased its raging, and the royal
party proceeded in safety TO the capital.
On his return home by the same route
the Emperor looked back from the deck OF
the ship toward the spot where his young
wife had disappeared, and as the scene re-
called his grief he cried Azuma! Azumal
(My dear wifel My dear wifeD AS he ut.
tered this exclamation the ships position
was such as to bring the spot in question
just between himself and Yedo. so that he
was actually looking toward that city,
which thenceforth received and bore the
name AZuma.
The writer concludes: Il wish l could
tell this incident, and you understand it,
in the beautiful flowing japanese in which
! heard it. / ought to mention that my
informant stated that this story was un-
doubtedly true, as it was mentioned in all
the old japanese histories.-N Y. Erea-

The Lost Cause Net Dead.

The great event of the old North State
has been the final consummation of the
exercises on Memorial Day, in this city
1t will be remembered that on May 20,
last year, Charlotte, n g., celebrated its
Centennial anniversary in commemoration
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde-
dendence. On that occasion Southern
and Northern orators "clasped hands
across the bloody chasm," and prophesied
peace and prosperity. To-day, however,
the programme was changed. 1mmedi.

Managing Pastures and Meadows.

Pastures are usually fed closely, es-
pecially in dry time. Stock are allowed
to run in them in the fall as long as there
is green thing in sight. The foliage Is
all taken off clear down, including part
Of the roots, which are left weak and ex-
posed all winter and spring. During
winter, stock ramble over fields, killing
the grass under their feet. Before the
frost is out Of the ground cattle are dig
ging away at the old turf again and tread
ing it up full of holes. In this way the
poor grass is beaten and eaten and half
starved, until after a time, depending
upon the strength of the soil, the grass is
said to run OUT and the field TO need
breaking up" This is not the way to
treat grass land.
Meadows are often pastured for a fresh
bite in spring, the stock are turned off till
one crop is moved, and then back again
when they eat all off closely, as in case of
the pasture just noticed. Plants, to re-
main strong and healthy, need at least a
little time to get nourishment ahead for
winter protection. Like animals, they
ought to he strong when winter sets in.
So far as have observed, almost moth
ing has been done in our country in the
way of fertilizing and improving perma-
nent pasture. We hardly know the value
of an excellent pasture of fine grasses all
summer, because very few have such to
feed.
1t may be objected that it is all well
enough to talk about the use of more
manure-to manure the grass land but
will il pay in this country? Emphatical.
ly, yes! | refer you to some experiments
made by DIR. r @. Kedzie in top.dressing
meadows, printed in our report for 1854.
The outlay pays from thirty five 70 over
100 per cent. per annum. The top. dress
ing used consisted in ashes, muck, plas-
ter salt, COW and horse manure. We
have found at the Agricultural College
that we can make valuable compost OF
muck and barnyard manure for twenty
five to fifty cents cubic yard. On most
farms the supply and value of manure
can be trebled as we'll as not by the use of
muck. Bones can be pounded up during
winter with sledge. hammer, and mixed
with ashes or termenting manure, or sown
directly on the land. Many dead sheep,

cut up In pieces and mixed with the

A San Francisco Earthquake.

THE middle of the broad street was
filled with crowd of breathless, pallid,
death stricken men, who had lost all sense
but the common instinct of animals.
There were hysterical men, who laughed
loudly without cause, and talked inces-
sanity Of what thev knew not There
were dumb, paralyzed men, who stood
helplessly and hopelessly beneath cornices
and chimneys THAI toppled over and
cru he'd them. There were automatic
men, who, flying carried with them the
work on which they were engaged-One
whose hands were full of bills and papers,
another who held his ledger under his
arm. There were men who rushed from
the fear of death into his presence; two
were picked up, one who had Jumped
through a skylight, another who had
blindly leaped from u fourth story win
dow. There were brave men who trembled
like children; there was one whose life
had been spent in scenes of daring and
danger, who covered palalyzed in the
corner of the room from which few
inches Of plastering had fallen. There
were hopeful men who believed that the
danger was over, and, having passed,
would, by some mysterious law, never
recur; there were Others who shook their
heads and said that the next shock would

are punished by long terms of imprison-
ment, which break up homes and scatter
families. And altogether, Republicans,
white and black, are exposed 10 such bit
ter hostility that few statements made by
the press have overdrawn the dark picture.
Hostility against Republicans and col
ored citizens on political grounds in
Southern States is an evil which demands
a remedy. 1t will not be prevented by
the cry of " the bloody shirt" 1t will
rather hide behind the bloody shirt in or
der to continue. The Democratic party
has shown itself unfit to be inrusted with
power. Wherever the Democracy have
had power they have abused it. To think
of the country under the control of the
Democracy is appalling. All the evils Of
the past would be revived, TO be riveted
on the people; and the avenue of National
progress would be closed. The only hope
of the people lies in the success of the
Republican party. This is no time to
turn backward. The vote of every Re-
publican is needed in November for the
nominee of his party. Let there be, then,
grand determination and mighty eff
fort made to assemble at the polls, that
the vote Of the Republican majority may

THE rNsATIATE ANN ELIZA.

Truly has it been said that the place
for the bad "hath no fury like q woman
scorned." There is DO escape from the
clutches Of an enrsged female. Tnis is
illustrated in the case OF Brigham
YOung's Ann Eliza. Shs has got the
hook OF her umbrella in the white cravat
OF the pious Mormon and gives it an sd
ditional twist every day. She had the
charming Brigham hustled of TO Jail for
refusing 10 pay the alimory allowed her
by Judge NJ Leans order, but the shifty
apostle managed TO crawl out OF jail by
proving that the insatiate Ann Eliza
was never divorced from her former
husband; that her marriage to him was
Illegal and sdulterous. This was tenn
porary triumph for the old Teprobate, but
the woman has rallied and is pursuing
him for the alimony already unlawfully
awarded her. She proposes to tighten
the twist unless she receives the requisite
amount Of Sucats for the Arrangement
Of her grief. Brigham says he won't
nav the trusnt Ann Eliza continental
dime; but the plucky woman tossed
her head, as all girls do whose hearts are
utterly broken, and said she'd send the
minions Of the law to go and fetch the
money due her. The fight is very
pretty one as it now stands. 1t is evil

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Mr. Lamar
has prepared speech on the general po-
liticsl situation, which he hopes to have
ready for delivery in the house next
Tuesday afternoon. He has devoted 8
great deal Of time and study to the his
tory Of the present administration, and
in his speech he intends to review its
couIss, its relations to the south. and to
show, SIS CT srly as he can, what he
deems to be the paramount issue of the
day. He thinks he will be able to show
that the present administration has not
performed, in its long life, single act
of real reform, and that its constant
growing tendencies have been in the in
terests OF centraliz alton and an utter
disregard of lava for the government ef
public officials, and corruption which 10
so widespread and deeply centered that
it has made the question of reform al
most the sole issue OF the hour. AS this
syeech will represent the views of one
of the greatest leaders at present in the
Democratic party its uttersnce will be
awaited with great interest Oh account
of the great influence it will have upon
the coming campaign. He does not
propose that the Republican party shall
cloud the real Issues and put upon the
Democratic psrty the burdens that they
should not be made to carry In the COM
ing contest. a...
