British Jealousy Of Russia.

& *
With equal unfeason, and equal reli-
ance on the power of his eloquence to
conceal the falsehood of his history and
the weakness of his logic, Mr.. Bright
speaks OF the present situation. He rid
1cules the idea that we should close the
Dardanelles against Russian fleets while
endeavoring to open the Suez canal to
our own In the first place. it is notori-
GUS that the Russian Government has
no business outside the Dardanelles ex.
cept Tor purpose of aggression and men
ace, and that the interests of England
distinctly lies in maintaining rule
some centuries old, which binds the
Sultan to forbid the passage of Russian
ships OF war into the Levant. The ele-
ment OF distance does come in here, but
in quite different way from that in
which Mr.. Bright so perversely used
It, 1t would be perilous in the last de-
gree to English power and to the safety
OF ASIA Minor, and even to Egypt, if
great fleet could at any moment sail
from Sebastopol to the coast of Syria or
the entrance of the Suez canal. whtee we
could only reinforce our squadron from
Portsmouth. In that case Russia would
be practically the supreme power in the
East, would hold the key of our naval
as well as of our land road to India, and
would be so formidable that there could
no longer remain any equal balance of
power and interests in Europe, and
that we ourselves could feel no security
in India till we had fought, at every
disadvantages, a successful war with
Russia and driven her back to the point
which she now occupies. Moreover,
Russia herself has always insisted on
closing the Euxine to our war ships, and
we doubt whether even now she would
be willing to open the Dardanelles re-
ciprocally to the ships of oil powers.
If she were to do so it would be with the
intention of selling very speedily some
point on the Bosphorus from which she
could absolutely close the passage by
main force against the most powerful
navies of the world. The Suez canal is
our road to our own possessions, the
Dardanelles are Russia's road to the
territories Of others.-London Standard.
RoTHsCHILD' BUSINESS PRECEPTs.-
The founder of the great banking house
of Rothschilds made the following
rules the guide Of business career cul-
minating in magnificent success:
l. Combination of three profits. ct
made the manufacturer my customer,
and the ono I bought of, my customer !:
that is, I supplied the manufacturer
with raw materials and dyes, on each Of
which I made a profit, and took his
manufactured goods, which I sold at a
profit, and thus combined three profits.
2. Make bargain at once. Be AN off
hand man.
3. Never have anything to do with an
unlucky man or place. 81 have seen
many clever men who have not shoes to
their feet. I never act with them.
Their advice seems very we'll, but fate is
against them they cannot get on them
selves, how can they do good to me ?"
4. Be cautious and bold. at re-
quires great deal of caution and great
great deal of boldness to make q great
fortune, and when you have got it, it
requires ten times as much to keep it,"

The CRY RUSSIA DESIRES. ap-
proach to Constantinople by land is bar
rem as desert plain. It is only at the
very gates that verdure is perceived in
cemeteries shaded with cypress. The
views from the water are beautiful
beyond description. Mount Ida, reach
ing to the borders of Olympus, closes in
the prospect from Asia, the cradle Of
civilization and the arts. The city rests,
like Rome, on seven hills. Thousands
of airy minarets, mingled with massive
gi1ded domes, with solemn temples and
sumptuous structures, form o unique
and elaborate tableau. Every spot is
classic. Quaint old towers, half con.
cealed under tall, dark trees, or buried
under aromatic shrubs, are spread in
delightful confusion along the shore.
In the Summer the atmosphere is close
and sultry in the streets, and only
along the shore is found a breath of air,
and over all is the sky, through which
moves as in fiery groove the sun, like
ponderons globe OF molten gold. The
manners and customs of the inhabitants
are in persevering imitation of those of
the early ages. The very reflections of
the city in the water seem tinged with
the freshness of first creation. The
mosques are all richly endowed. Their
exterior does not strike the eye with that
noble simplicity which characterizes
Roman and Greek architecture. Light
sparingly introduced, and reflected from
the dome by o veneering of small glass
cubes upon metal, throws a respondent
lustre within. Schools of law have long
been attached to the mosques, but until
recently the noble science of medicine
has been classed with obscure trades.

provided all other accessories are at
hand, for complete tillage, but TO in.
cur this expense, and fail to apply
the fertilizing elements needtn! to
make it thorough success, would Of
ten result untavorably to our irater-
nifty. We believe there are scientific
reasons and facts to prove that
deeply pulverzel soil will produce
more prolifcalIy where all other ap-
pliances are equal, but such deep
ening and mellowing of the soil is
pretty expensive operation and a
practical farmer will approach the
matter with some caution. 1t often
would cause delay in the prepare
ton for seed or plant when all the
available power Of the hnsband-man
is needed for u speedy operation and
a completion of the work in order to
secure the best results from our llttul
seasons. 1t is estimated that about
one hundred tons Of soil to the acre is
moved or inverted for every inch IN
depth that is ploughed. Now sup
pose soil should be ploughed to the
depth of four inches, we have four
hundred tons of earth or soil upon
which the crops can grow and sub
sist, so far as the soil is an agent or IS
dapted.
1t is pretty well-established fact
J believe, that most Of the nounsh-
ment Of plants through their roots
comes from very near the surface OF
the ground, where ATMOSPHERIC lntiu-
ences operate more ettectusIly and
quickly in Jissolving plant food and
making it available. The dranSht
unon four hundred tons Of soil thor
oughIy enriched would not be excess
sive, we believe, when we compute
the weight in dry matter OF the most
exhaustive crop. Take the corn crop
perhaps one OF the most exhaustive,
and a fair estimate would show that
crop Of sixty bushels TO the acre
would draw but lightly upon the soil.
But much of this dry matter Is OBJ
tanned not directly from the soil, but
from the atmosphere through the
agency Of the soil and water, we are
taught, and much from the atmos-
phere alone. The mineral matter IN
crop of the above yield would be.
but from 459 to 800 pounds; and
when we know that the soil Is com
posed chiefly of this matter it would
seem as if the depth of soil OF which
we have spoken, put in the best me
chanical condition and kept so for
such crops as ale tended during
growth, amply sufficient IN ordinary
culture. Why should the roots need
to travel through SO much soil vixen
experience and facts teach that it isl

KILLING WEEDs.-Nature has GER
tainly laws they are immutable. In
regard to perennial plants or plants
with perennial roots, the law Is, that
beginning with the spring growth the
plants duties are to perfect the prep
aration made the latter part of the
previous summer and fall. This may
be said to be the end Of that plant S
life, and if it was onl y an annual it
would be SO. But II perennial has,
after arriving at certain age and
condition, to make preparations sor a
continued life next year. This is done
by forming eyes or buds upon its roots
or around the collar Of the main stem
which shall, although perfect, re-
main dormant till next spring. There
is q certain lapse of time between the
maturity Of the old plant and the per
lection of these eyes or buds.
This time is Of quite short duration,
not more than one or two weeks, and
is the critical time in that plants life.
Any attack upon the vitality Of the
part above ground is sure to kill that
below, and Of course The whole plant.
This gives us clew to weed killing
attacking a plant in its most vgor-
ous season is but Of temporary adj
vantage, but if we take it at its
weakest moment it succumbs readily.
This critical time Dies not come to
all varieties of plants at the same
time Of year, but may range from the
middle o. July to the first of Septem-
Der as the particular kinl natures

Independence Not Neutrality.

Tt seems impossible for some people to
make this distinction. They sneer at in
dependent journalism. You pretend,
they say, to be for Hayes, and then de-
clare for Tilden Well, we have been
for Hayes from the start as interpreted by
himself. We have always stood 'squarely
on his letter of acceptance. Did that bind
US to follow the party leaders when they
fought the campaign on other issuesf Z
When Tilden is elected by the people, our
presidential preference must yield to the
event. The day ofpersonal preference is
past There has been an election. We
declare for Tilden only because we believe
that he as president by the popular vote.
Would it be independent or honest to con-
ceal that conviction or uphold the manipu-
lation of the Louisiana returning board?
But why not accept that just pow as a
choice of evils-sharp practice OF both
sides you know and rely on Mr.. Hayes to
condone the error by brilliant reform ad-
ministration? Because we believe in do
ing right Doing evil that good may come
is treacherous motto. The path of the
just that shineth more and more don't lie
that way. There is nothing so brilliant as
success. when it starts fair. But be one
thing or the other" Exactly. That is
just what we propose to be, according to
our best lights. whether coincident with
party lines or not and the last place we
shall go to for our ethics is the party or
gan. If, as the negro preacher said, there
are only two paths-one leading to hell
and the other to damnation-right there
we take to the woods We believe. too.
that out of the thickest woods the truth
and the right will find their way into the
open. They live, while parties die. II
Hayes shall be inaugurated, We shall not
forget his counting in. If Tilden shall be
inaugurated, we shall not forget his watch
cry of reform Our motives will be de-
clared by the organs fine will also de-
clare them.

Democratic Position.
From the 81 Loais Times.


Congressman Springer, Of Illinois, is
reported as having made this little speech
in the session of the joint committee, be-
fore taking action on the bill which has
since been reported by Mr.. ConkliDg and
Mr.. Payne:
'This tribunal, suggested by Mr., Conkling's
bill. is such an one as any citizen. whatever might
be his offense even treason, would willingly submit
his liberty, property, and life to its >tice. If
would trust all that he had to the righteousness o
those men, he ought to be willing. also to trust ths
selection OF a president to the same body"
Although Mr.. Springer's utterance al
that time was entirely bipartisan, and in
no wise Intended for effect, he exactly
stated the Democratic position. Demo.

their cause, that they ask only for fail
count by fair men. They do not demand
a partisan tribunal, but an honest one.

F,oza the 81. Louis Republicdn.

We are to have peace after all. We
hear no more talk of trouble at Washing
ton-no more marching of troops to that
city to defend somebody against somebody
else-no more withdrawing of ammunition
and ordnance from one place to be sent to
another-no more preparation to inaug
urate Hayes at the point of the bayonet.
President Grant no longer tells the listen
ing interviewer of the Associated Press
that he will hand over the government"
to Hayes which was a very silly thing
for president to say-and he has COM
pletely abandoned the idea that it was his
business to inaugurate his successor.
