Col. Lamar and The Union News
paper.

Cor. ST. Louis Republican
The appearance of an editorial very in
furious to Mr.. Lamar, in the Union, a
new Democratic daily here, this morning,
has caused considerable excitement. On
first impulse Mr.. Lamar wrote card to
Montgomery Blair which meant fight or
it meant nothing, but up to this hour he
has, by advice of his friends, withheld
from sending it to Mr.. Blair or giving it
out for publication. The editorial of
this morning made the basis of its attack
on the ground that Lamar was, through
Col. Roberts, aiding Hayes southern
scheme, which is by no means fact.
Mr.. Lamar's theory of these assaults,
there having been one or two of less sew
Gritty within few days,is that it Is meant
as punishment for his support of the
Texas Pacific railway.

The CAPACITY OF WoMEN.-Women
in their course of action, describe a
smaller circle than men but the perfec-
ton of circle consists not in its dimen-
sions, but in its correctness. There may
be here and there a soaring woman who
looks down with disdain on the paltry
affairs of i" this dim speck called earth !"
who despises order and regularity as in
dications of a grovelling spirit but a
sound mind judges directly contrary. The
larger capacity, the wider is the space of
duties it takes in. Proportion and pro-
priety are among the best secrets of do
nestle wisdom; and there Is no surer
fest Of integrity than well-proportioned
expenditure.

Taa STATE LIBRARY AND CAPITOL
BuILpING The members of the Legisla-
ture were doubtless pleased with the APP
pearance of the Library and Capitol build
iag on their return to their duties In the
cleanliness, good order and superior ar
rangements, they will find unmistakabie
evidences of the tact and industry OF Mrs
Morancy, the excellent lady Librarian and
Keeper OF the Capitol. 1t has been many a
day since the Library and the building
presented such an appearance of cleanli-
ness. comfort and good management gem
orally In her report, which we find very
fall ald satisfactory, Mrs. Morancy has
made several recommendation which we
have TO doubt will receive the sanction OF
the Legislature. She certainly deserves
comm endation.

BARLEY OrOatS.

In regard to whether it is better to
SOW oats or barley, much depends on
climate and soil. In sections where oats
do well, and barley usually fails, it
would be unwise to SOW barley. But in
those sections where the climate is alike
favorable for barley or oats, and where
it is question of soil and preparation,
it may be Observed
LIST. That oats sometimes do well on an
old sod, but barley rarely, if ever, does
so. I'd. Oats ripen later than barley,
and while it is very desirable to SOW oats
as early as the land can be got into good
condition, still you stand better chance
of a crop from late sown oats than from
late sown barley, Sd. Oats will do far
better on low, mucky land, than barley
If such land is well drained and is in
good heart, and in fine mellow condition
as after well cultivated corn, potato
or root crop-a great crop of barley may
sometimes be grown, especially If the
land has been lined, but the chances are
altogether more favorable for a great
crop of oats 4th. On low, mucky
land, that is only partially drained, and
which cannot be worked early in the
season, it would be folly to sow barley
If sown at all, l would drill in oats, if
the land was dry enough to admit the
use of the drill; or if not, SOW the oats
broadcast, and if they could not be har-
rowed in, let them sprout on the surface,
and roll the land when it is firm enough
to hold up the horses. 1t would be bet
ter, however, to summer fallow such
land, working it thoroughly, and make it
clean and mellow, and seed it down
heavily with timothy (and perhaps red
top), next August. AT any rate, do not
SOW barley. 9th. Oats will do better on
heavy clay land than barley. This is the
rule. The exceptions are rare. The
heaviest crop of barley | ever saw was
on a field of heavy clay land that was
summer followed the year previous for
wheat by three ploughings, and then not
sown to wheat in the fall, but ploughed
again in the spring early and sown to
barley. Everything was favorable, and
the crop was immense. 9th. On weedy
land it is better to SOW oats than barley.
Drill in the oats deep and use plenty of
seed Roll the land either at the time
of sowing or after the oats are up. Then,
when the are sprouted, and are in
the seed leaf, go over the field once or
twice, or three times, if necessary, with a
light, fine-toothed harrow, for the pur-
pose of killing the young weed plants.
Oats can be narrowed with less injury to
the plants than barley And if the soil
and weather are favorable, and the
operation is performed at the right mo-
ment, thousands of weeds will be de-
stroyed, and the stirring of the ground
will be favorable to the growth of the
oats.-Americdn 1griculturist.
