A Fertilizer for Corn and Rice,

Farmers should know that one OF
the best fertilizers for corn and rice, in
well-drained lotions. is almost always
to be found near them. After thor
ougb breaking up Of the ground, lay
off the rows with q shovel-plow FIVE
or six inches deep, and if intended
for rice, three feet apart is agood
width; if for corn, four and a half or
FIVE feet apart !; then get dry straw,
leaves, trash aud sticks from the
woods, fill the trenches we'll up aud
set fire to them, and as soon as they
are burned. or nearly SO. Cover with o
turning plow. This will make aston
isbing crops of corn and rice. aud is
of lasting virtue tc the land. The
corresponding editor knows from
experience, and tests be has seen OF
the plan, that it will pay farmers well
for the trial.

Number SI Times to Plough
Cotton.

Our experience in cotton culture.
says the Southern Cahirator, is. that
frequent ploughings should be given
up to fruiting ,im.-ths object being
to hasten growth and max weeds
early in the season. But as soon as
fruiting begins, the ploughing should
be at longer intervals-just often
enough to keep down the grass and
weeds. In one sense cotton frequent
ly plougbed natures earlier-tbat is,
it grows off better, makes weed earlier
and takes on fruit before that which
is neglected does anything scarcely !,
but in the final maturity, our observa-
ton is, that the cotton ploughed the
smaller number of times will ripen
and open earlier. Large, rank cotton
plougbed deep late in the season-say
in October-will open better also.

LOUISIANA.
To Gen. Francis Il. Nichols.

From where the broad Pacific
Bea.s at the golden gates,
To where the wild Atlantic
Sweeps stOrm-crowned round the states
There is no land diginely fair
Or beauieous as thou art,
Enshrined like sorne rare jewel
In every Southrons heart.
ThCa vast like some dead beauty,
With sweet flowers on t:Iy breast,
And the crescent crown upon thy brow
Was dim and o!lrcast;
There was a sound OF wailing,
And her sister States all said:
"The Queen enchained aud desola- -
Down-tIOdden-slie is dead"
But the warm, resis,less Gulf waves
Flowed mp with measured beat,
And brought the quick life pulses
Unto her pulseless feet,
While the mocking bird kept calling
From out her orange groves,
How could she die and break the li-arts
or all her ardent loves?
See! see! she moves her chained hands,
A hush is on the sea,
Her fetters fall-from out the land
Goes up a cry, "Shes free!
. How freshly bloom ner gardens now,
On highland and on plain,
Exul,ant her great river rolls
Amid her fields Of cane.
A shout goes up from every heart
That bled for her .eSore,
And echoes back from strand TO strand,
Free, free! forever!nore.
Her children from the Lone Star State
Cry to her sons, 'Well done!
How nobly You have worn your chains,
How bravely you have won.'
Shine, Crescent, shine, TO all the earth;
Across the waiting sea
Come, ships and bear her treasures forth,
Bring her prosperity.
Her happy hearts, with willing hands,
Now cheerfully will toll,
And poverty and want mall DWELL
No more upon her sof.

Good Manure for Orchards.

A wagon l,ad of well-rotted leaves

Of each tree once every two or even
three years will, i the ground is
cultivated about them, keep them
thrifty, and in excellent bearing order
for a great while. We think there
are few better fertilizers for apples,

materials are so abundant and con.

Warmoth Radical and the Kellogg
Radical the Custom House Republican
and the State House Republican we
have the Hayes and Packard Radical
and the Hayes and Nichols Radical !;

the Liberal Democrat, the Conserya-
tive, the Fusionist, the Independent,
the Compromiser, the Last Ditcher and
the Flopper, the bulldozer, the carpet
Dagger and the scalawag. More re-
Gently the situation has developed the
Hayes Democrat, and now we have the
Oscillator in the person Of the Hon.
George Washington, Of Concordia.
This eminent colored citizen and
statesman has for some time past oscil-
lated between the st. Louis Hotel caucus
and the House Of Representatives at
Odd Fellows Hall, appearing In the
latter one day and answering roll-call
In the other the next day.
Where G. w. will finally plant him.
self there have yet been no signs to in
dictate. He is essentially an oscillator,
and may continue to oscillate until the
legislative business IL brought to a close
for the present season. Monday. Wash
ington made speech in the Hotel
caucus, In which he said he didn't
zackly" know his mind; in fact.
that he was disturbed In his mind.

ished that the political complications
by which he has been surrounded for
several months, have disturbed and un-
settled his brain, and that he doesn't
know "zactly" where or to whom he
belongs. This Louisiana middle has
been enough to disturb stronger minds
than George Washington's. and we can
not eensure him very severely for not
feeling exactly certain where to drop,

NOTES ON THE EASTERN SITUATION.

Admiral Porter counts the Ottomans
OF forty millions OF people. But, says
the Herald, "half of this number is to
b. cut away for Egypt and the other
African States that will seize the coca
sion to help not the Sultan, but them
selves and Of the remaining moiety
one-quarter at lea ct are Christian
rayahs."
Austria, it is stated, has resolved, II
necessity demands, to localize the wal
by the armed occupation Of Bosnia,
and to that end Kaiser Francis Joseph
has ordered the mobilization Of five
army corps.
A correspondent from Pera says "In
order to occupy the Danube Russia
must reckon with Germany. The way
to Constantinople lies through Berlin.
The present position Is that II wal
breaks out the result must be the exten.
sion of the Russian Empire to the
Danube, the Bosphorus, the Taurus
Mountains and the Euphrates, and the
amalgamation of 1o0,o00,oo0 men Of the
Sclavie nation. Can Germany or any
European State look on and acquiesce
in such q contamination ?"
Count Won Moltke does not believe
that the Russians are going to gain an
easy victory over the Turks In the event
OF war. He expresses q very high opin-
ion OF the efficiency of the Turkish sol.
diers.
Persia has notified the Porte OF her
claims to Bagdad, and there are rumors
OF an alliance between Persia and Rus.
sia.
The defiant attitude Of Turkey is ex-
planned in private letters from Constan.
tinople. The Ottomans are rendered
confident by assurances that Poland
the Crimea, the Caucasus, Persia and
even India will furnish moral and mate
rial aid against Russia in the course OF
the impending war.
The Monite,tr announces that France
will remain intlexibly neutral.
1t is likely that the first great blow
will be struck on the Asiatic side, where
Turkey is weakest.
