have exhausted land and improved I'M
plements which enables us to prepare the
land thoroughly for the seed. We need
something more. We get that in the
commercial manures, which supply to
the plant those chemical properties which
have been exhausted by long culture and
injudicious management.
We now have land and implements,
but we need something to make the land
productive to sufficient degree to pay
the producer. We find underlying some
of the land and waters in the lower part
of the State phosphate deposit, which,
upon being ground and rendered soluble,
forms the basis of manure, which sup
plies to lands those properties which have
been exhausted These mixtures, known
as commercial manures, have become
generally used, and have even, with our
experimental applications, paid the pro-
ducer in some instances. The vast source
of wealth to the State and farmer seems
to be providential, and is >the means by
which we will be enabled to recover our
losses in great measure. If the farmers
had known how to make proper use OF
this discovery, their lands would have
improved yearly, instead of failing, after
repeated applications of fertilizers. 1t is
almost the universal system Of the farmer
to apply the cotton seed, with its increase
by the use of commercial manure, to some
other exhausted land, instead of re-
turning the same to the land that made
it. Thereby they render the land less
productive each year, after the first OF
second application. This system will not
build up our exhausted lands, but have
the reverse effect. The rotation OF crops
in some degree removes the difficulty
but even that will not effect it entirely
You must return all the increased pro-
duction of an acre of land, which is used
as manure, to the same land, and not at.

An armenian Mother.in-Lnw

A correspondent writes: 81 shall
report on the manners of the
Armenians after a more careful
study of them, but two incidents
which occurred in this and the
neighboring house deserve to be
recorded. At noon the pan in
which an omlet was being cooked
fell down, and the servant obstin-
ately maintained that a young wo-
man on the roof of a house oppo-
site had caused the mischief by her
evil eye, and with difficulty was
prevented from going over and
taking vengeance. The married
sons, contrary to the Turkish GUS
tom, live in the house of their pa
rents, but the law of the Armenian
church forbids the mother-in-law
during the first four years Of the
marriage to say a single word 70
her daughter-in-law. The young
wife sits dun and motionless the
whole day in . corner of the
room, without any occupation, un-
noticed by her husband or any one.
Only in the very poorest families, in
which the women must work, is the
daughter-in law driven by blows,
cuffs and kicks to labor. The only
variety for the poor young creatures
is a visit five times daily to the
church. Now, it happens that in
the next house next to us the
mother-in-law had not spoken to
her sons wife for six years, two
years more than the allotted term,
because she was childless. Yester-
dayfor the first time the cntreaties of
all the young women of the neigh
borhood on their bonded knees had
induced the deeply offended old wo-
man to address the first words to her
daughter-in-law."

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 30, 1871.


The past week was one Of inactivity
in financial circles, very little having
been done during the entire week. The
opening to-day shows considerable activ,
ity, occasioned by the near approach OF
the FIRST of the month. Currency is in
plentiful supply at 8 to 10 per cent
Exchange is in good supply, as follows;
New York and Eastern demand, buying
at par aud selling at lc premium; New
Orleans buying al ic discount and selling
at par. Street rates for money are l9@'
q per cent per month. The local stock
market is neglected, with nothing doing.
