The renewed appeal of the Mayor of Fer
nandina should meet with a prompt response.
The sum of money on hand is pitifully small,
and the number of families TO be supported is
very large. All these must be sustained until
cold weather fairly sets in. 1t will hardly be
necessary TO say to our charitable citizens that
500 families cannot be supported for any
length of time on $500.

Speaker Randall has done much better with
his committees, in one important respect, than
tie country had been led to suppose he would
do. The composition of the Pacific Railroad
Committee is complete and agreeable sur
prise. Instead of being surrendered to the
friends of the Texas Pacific Road il is made up
largely of determined opponents OF subsl-
dies aud honorable men. The appointment of
Mr. Clarkson \. Potter as Chairman puts at
rest all the rumoys Of tho probable choice OF
an outspoken advocate Of subsidy, and makes
sure That this committee will never be used, with
the Chairman's knowledge, TO promote job
of any sort. The remaining committees are
very much as they have been foreshadOwed.
The appointment of Fernando Wood as Chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee is
one which may he said to have been de-
manded by length Of service and parliamentary
skill and he will replace a much less capable
man. This is g strong committee, both III che
Democratic and Republican branches The
news that the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency is a soft-mOney body will be received with
less satisfaction, although Speaker Randall can
undoubtedly plead that he made 1t uD so as to
represent fairly the majority Of the House, and
the presence of the most conspicuous inliation-
st of the West as the second member
Of the Committee will not serve to COM
mend it any further TO the good opinion
of the people. In placing Mr.. Atkins at the
head of Appropriations, Mr.. Randall has in
sured the continuance Of his rigid policy of re-
trenchment, in which he will undoubtedly have
the united support of his party. When they
bold the Offices, it viii be different. In plac
ing Proctor Knott IN his old place, the
Speaker has been more magnanimou5 TO an
opponent than just to the House, while
III putting 5. 5. Cox at the head of
the Library Committee, and second on
Foreign Relations. he was magnanimous to an
opponent, and still did a service to the House
Most OF the leading men of both parties seem
to nc well placed, and there Is little dissatis-
faction. Perhaps the best sign of the Speak
er's success is the fact that the minority are 20
well pleased with the treatment they have re-
cciVph.

10 be of advantage to the Republican party,
inasmuch as it will render the Legiti-

it is, the Royalists who are opposed to Impe-

ant is an Albany defendant The Issue Is purely
one of veracity, and the people of Albany can
decide between the two. At the same time
it should be said that the witness is evidently
a man with grievance, and that the de-
PENDANT. whatever may be said of him as a
politician, has never been shown to have
prOhted by his position in connection with
the New Capitol, although there have been
several Investigations, all of which were pro-
tracted and seemed to be thorough.
Unless President MacMahon has some occult
meaning for compromise and c0nCiliatlon,"
there ought to be no difficulty in forming new
Ministry in France. Although the KepuDh-
cans have majority of ITO i'll the Chamber,
and are fairly entitled to control me Govern
ment, they are likely to be moderate ana Tor
bearing. Their main object is to place genuine
Republicans in powcr-not such politicians as
deem the Constitution makeshit, and refuse to
accept the democratic dOgmas which impart
to it force and vitality. Political justice
might demand the recall of Jules Simon.
but it may be deemed better to select
a chief who can act in accord with the
President without repugnance on the part
of either His coleagues-Say and Wad-
dngton-will no doubt be designated by
general accord as Ministers of Finance
and Instruction, respectively. 1t is possible
that General Berthaut will be accepted
as War Minister, inasmuch as President Mac
Mah0n is strongly ayerse to change IN that de-
partment, and GeneIal Berthaut has acted
with singular discretion since the crisis last
May. The Duke Decazcs might be re-
tanned as Foreign Minister, had he not
forfeited the esteem of the Republicans by his
incorporate speech on the eve of the elections.
Although he has conducted his department with
mastery skill during the last seven years,
his term of usefulness is apparently ended.
The selection of chief may cause some en-
barrasSment, but it is not improbable that NJ.

dent and tue Republican party.

the result be, il the same care were taken
Of the clover field as Of other crops It
does not need cuItivating; lifelong, deep,

A crop of two tons or more of clover,

gypsum-1O0 pounds per acre in early

But if farmer has a little well-rotted

is the time to apply it. Clover is often
injured by freezing and thawing in win
ter, and very slight covering of manure
will afford great deal of protection.

Grapes, like all other small fruits, are
profitable to grow where the soil and eli
mate are favorable. Many a man has
lost his money in trying to grow this
fruit. For instance, Germans and other
foreigners, who were grape growers at
home, have come to this country and see
ing cheap lands, apparently well adapted
to grape growing, have sent to the valley
of the Rhine, and other places in Europe,
for vines to set vineyards. They had no
access to the records of failures of those
who had previously tried the same expe-
riment, so they ordered vines by the
thousand, or less, set them with great
care, and in about three years they be-
gan to realize that their money was lost.
as no foreign variety of grape ever did
fruit successfully this side of California.
Why is it so? No one can answer that
question. But we know that such vines
in out door culture have every where
been failure. So, also, it is partially
with all sthybrid" varieties 80 called
American vines crossed ON foreign varie-
ties. Some of them produce fair crops
in certain localities, as near large bodies
of water; but away from such influences
these "hybrids' are not reliable. The
:
for market that is now cultivated, not be-
cause it is very valuable variety, but
because we have nothing else so good
There is room for great improvement IN
producing new varieties, as we have but
very few really good black grapes, and
not one white variety that satisfies the
demand. An extensive grape dealer in
New York told me recently that he was
paying IS cents per pound at wholesale
for what white grapes he could obtain,
and that he could not supply one tenth
of the demand. They retail at so cents
cents per pound; but let no one suppose
that any white grape will command this
price, as among the Is or 20 varieties |
that are called white, only two or
three will be bought in that city at any
price.
"Well," asks one, chow much can a |
man make on grapes per acre yearly" Ifl
you live in good locality for grapes, the |
best you could do, probably, would be to
produce about s, 900 pounds to the acre,
which would sell in our large cities at five
to seven cents per pound and if your
acres netted 800 to $3.50 clear profit tax
ing a series of years together, it would be
as much as you ought to expect. There
are many drawbacks in the business.
Disease affects the crops more or less
and sometimes in the Northern or West
ern States May frost will ruin the entire
crop for that season. In brief, there is
not much money in grapes now, when
grown in extensive vineyard, if one relies
solely on marketing the fruit, unless he
has variety that is better than the Con
cord, as that is thrown into every place
to so great an extent that the price is
often so low that it affords no profit. In !
all places where grapes are grown extern
sively by different persons, wine making !
is connected with the business, and then
f the fruit cannot be sold to advantage,
i is made into wine. About III pounds
IF grapes will make gallon of pure wine :
worth 81 anywhere as soon as pressed

The Cow Pea.

Among the crops that should receive
more attention from Southern farmers is
the Southern COW pea. 1t thrives on all
soils and succeeds under greater neg
Iect and less cultivation than any crop
grown in the South. There is a large
number of varieties, and though some
others are considered better for table
use, the black is the most popular for a
field crop, having the property of keep
ing sound and good on the ground all
the winter; may be snwn broadcast and
plowed in, or in drills two and half
feet apart, admitting of cultivation after
wheat and oats, to be plowed in again,
when in bloom, for green manuring, or
allowed to ripen a crop, which is usually
gathered by manipulating. And, again,
they make most excellent food for horses
and COWS, if cut just as the first pods are
formed, and fed green or cured. The
roots will then Immediately send up an
other growth that can be turned under
for the benefit of the next crop. Proba-
bly,, however, the most profitable use to
which they can be turned is to be fed
down to hogs, causing them to lay on
flesh rapidly, though this will not be so
firm and solid as cora-fed pork but a
week or two on corn before Strengthening
remedies that defect Cow peas are also
valuable as catch-crop among corn, Of
ten producing a fine return when
dropped in at the time the corn is laid
by. In fact, they are a very important
item on every Southern farm, and
should be planted wherever there is va
cant land. even as late - August first,
and utilized in some manner, IF it is
not desirable to make use Of them In
any of the above ways, they are always
in good demand in market at fair prices.

RECEIPT for Curing Hams.

The Rural New Yorker gives the fol-
lowing quantities for twelve hams. For
a more or less quantity use in this pro-
portion: Take three pounds of fine salt,
one-half pound of molasses, mix well to-
gether, and rub end of ham with the
mixture. Then put them into cask and
allow them to stand five or six days, sf-
ter which they should be reversed, the
top hams being put in the bottom, sprink-
ling fine salt between each layer; again
let them stand FIVE or six days when a
pickle should be prepared and put on
them strong enough to hold an egg. Al
ways place the hams for picking with
skin side down. After remaining in pic
kle for six weeks the hams should be ia
ken out, strings put through them and
hung up to drain for four or five days,
when they should be sent to the smoke
house. For keeping them through the
summer months, wrap them well in brown
paper, and pack in cask or barrel, with
liberal supply of dry wood ashes. Per-
sons who use this recipe will always have
fine meat.
