LIME AND MANuRE.-At n late meet;,o
OF the Elmira IN. W Farmers Club q
member is reported as having said: "So,ne
years ago knew farmer who undertook
10 improve the manure in his barnyard by
spreading thereon unslacked lime. The
yard was sheltered, most of the manure
oeing IN basement of his barn, to which
the cattle had free access. Returning one
night from town he observed an unusual
light under the barn, and on going to the
spot to ascertain the cause he found pile
OF manure actually sending out a small
flame which would have soon reduced the
barn and its contents to ashes but for his
timely discovery. He put out the fire and
abandoned the use of lime in the manure
heap, for the lesson satisfied him that burn
ing would not improve manure.n

The FOrsaken.
This poem, written by "Stell," (Mrs. Estella
Ann Lewis,) at the age of fourteen, Poe said
was "the most beautiful ballad of the kind
aver written:"]
1t hath been said, for all who die
There is tear;
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
Ger every bier.
But in that hour of pain and dread,
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch, and shed
One farewell tear.
Who'll watch life's fast departing ray,
In deep despair,
And soothe my spirit on its way,
With holy prayer?
What mourner round my bier will come
In weeds of woe,
And follow me to my long home,
Solemn and Slow
When lying on my clayey bed,
In icy sleep,
Who there by pure affection led,
Will come and weep;
By the pale moon implart the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid it cheer my dark repose--
My lowly rest?
Could but know, when am sleeping
Low in the ground,
Watch all around
AS if some gem lay shrined beneath
That cold sods gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs of death,
And light the tomb.
Yes, in that hour if / could feel
From halls of glee
And beauty's presence one would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit and weep by me,
In nights deep noon.
Oh! | would ask of memory
No other boon.
But, all ! lonelier fate is mine,
A deeper woe;
From all love in youths sweet time
soon must go,
Draw round me my pale robes of white,
In dark spot,
To sleep thro' deaths long dreamless night
Lone and forgot.

-Evergreens can be transplanted at any
time up to the end of May. We consider
the latter month the best. In purchasing
evergreens at the nursery, be sure to select
those with single stout runner, and even
ly branched from the ground up. For
remember that no new branches appear
upon them. They must, therefore be per-
feet at the start. Evergreen trees, of almost
every variety, are in their prime of beauty
at the end Of about fifteen years after
planting. Some of ours, set out twenty
four years ago, have decidedly passed this
period.

The story told by WILLIAM NJ. TWEED

JULES VERNE. 1t is almost incredible. 1t
tells how one man obtained control not only
of city but OF Statc-the most populous
and the most wealthy city and State in the
Union. One man levied the taxes for that
city; elected or rather appointed the OH.
GERS for that city; framed Il charter for that
city; had that charter passed by Republi-
can Legislature, though he was Democrat
and, after the taxes were collected, distri-
buted large share of the money among his
adherents and accomplfces. This one man
seems to have had control over the Governor
Of the State of New York-Mr. HOFFMAN,.
Indeed, it will probably appear in the end
that HOFFMAN was not elected Governor at

WASHINGTON. April 1S.-Advces from
New Orleans show that the Nichols Legis-
lature adopted the programme for re0rgan-
ling the Legislature on the face or the
original returns. This was submitted to
Packard by the commissioners. Packard
thought it was an admirable plan for the
Democracy. He was unwilling to commit
himself and unable to commit his party to
the programme, and the commission itself
was not prepared to pronounce in its favor.
The feeling here is that the commission is
making" little progress. The Administers
ton seems disposed to allow the commission
to fail in its own way and to accord it rea-
sonable time, but is settled in its policy oil
withdrawing all moral and physical sup
port from either government should Pack.
ard refuse to make terms. Those most IL
miliar with the Executive mind are most
positive in their opinion that the President
will allow the government OF this State to
remain in Nicholls's hands. 1t will require
means which the President will not use to
place Packard in power. +
Thevery latest dispatch from New Or.
leans says The commission, it may be
stated, are very hopeful that an agreement
may be made by the two parties.

which has manifested itself in certain Re
publican quarters has created no little un

to avert, il possible, any attack upon
the southern policy by men who have been
in the past the leading and controlling spirit:
in the Republican party, and to prevent any
criticism whatever in an official form from
them until the success OF the policy Is fully
assured or shown to be an utter failure
BY not calling an extra session the dis
senters in the Republican ranks will have
to confne their attacks to the public press,
and will be powerless to do the Administers

Mr.. E. V. Smalley, in a recent letter from
New Orleans to the Tribune, says one OF
the most encouraging features in the sitla-
ton here is the strong probability that the
Nichols party will not hold together a fort
night after the Packard concern goes to
pieces. The signs Of dlsintegration among
the so-called Conservatives are prominent
and unmistakable, the differences that have
long existed between the ideas and pur-
poses Of the two elements comprising that
party promising to develop into an actual
breach as soonias the outside pressure that
comes from the presence, of troops uphold
ing Packard is taken OF. AS long as there

gethef, but their companionship is not of a
