Scnor Benayidcs for the honest and earnest ef-
forts they have been making to act fairly and
promptly in presenting further border troubles.

Secretary Of War that he fully meets the ex-
pcctati0ns Of Lanocona In the desire he has ex-
pressed to tiud the Administration OF President
Hayes disposed to meet Mexico with helping
han6in her efforts for permancy aud increased
strength. The spirit OF the War Department
here is undoubtedly most friendly to Mexican
Interests and success.
MEXICAN CLAIMS.
The Subcommittee Of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs called upon Evarts to-day to
henr his views in regard to the payment of the
Mexican claims. Mr.. ETarts informed the COM
mittec that the Senate Judiciary. Committee
lad requested hin not to pay any of the
awards Until it could examine certain clailns al-
legged to have been fraudulently passed. That
enlphatically about was the conduct
OF the attorneys OF the Mexican
Government, who, instead of seeking informa-
t!on from the State Department, were lobbying
their measure in Congress. It has been assert
ed that the attorneys arc in the employ Of the
Mexican Government, whose object it Is to
avoid the payment of i large sum which has
been awarded III certain claims. Mr.. Eyarts
thought that when the new Mexican Minister
ar7iyca here, aud definite protest made against
the payment Of any claim, It would he especial
" considered BY our Government, but ut pres
cnt there was nothing to warrant such an infer
cnce.

LONDON, Nov. 24-The Economist says:
Money at call having been light this week. prices
have tended to give way, but foreign politics
hayc been too strong on the Other
side, and the result Of the movements is
that home securities have been BARELY
sustained, while foreign stocks have risen
distinctly and pcrsistcntly. The rise is more
remarkable because Of the depressing: effect
dear money must exercise, and, had 1t not been
for tile money pressure, tho market for foreign
securities would no doubt hare shown further
buoyancy. kars has fallen, P1evna, 1t is
thought, can scarcely hold ont much longer,
aud peace may shortly be concluded.
BEAR ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN CLOSED.
The new Russian loan is said to have been
fully subscribed, which must aid the efforts ot
the party engaged in sustaining Russian stocks,
and as further external loan is believed to
he in contemplation, such efforts will
hardly relax at present. Meanwhile the op-
timisiu Of tho French Boursc has increased in

dency; but this is easily corrected by
having deep soil and good rotten manure
for them to grow in.
In old times good part Of the winter
in the irregular gardens" where CAMDEN
ers were continually kept, it was the prac-
tice to "trench" piece of ground every
winter for particular crops. This prac
tice consists of turning up piece Of
ground about two feet deep; in farm prac
tee, subsoiling. 1t is found that for most
crops this practice is unnecessary. With
good manure and ordinary digging or
blowing, the average Of crops can be we'll
known. But not so with peas or beans.
To have good tender stuff the earth must
be deeply loosencd rs we'll as rich. This
is important even for spring and earlier
crops; but it is essential for fair crops.
It is generally said that it is useless to
try to have good peas and beans in this
country in the fall, and it is usually at
tempted; but in deep cool soil it is very
different thing.
Good deep soil encourages the roots of
vegetables down into cool climate, in
which, in summer they luxuriate. This
may not be good for trees, as we want
hard, solid wood and not luxurious growth.
In vegetables it is just the reverse. We
do not want hard fibre here, but, soft, ten
der succulcnce; and this is what results
from vegetable roots in deep soil in hot
weather.
