admit Of its being worked without in

and repair old ones. A mellow and
rich surface generously seeded is all
that Is requisite TO produce a dense

even, it is sometimes more economical
to fill the depressions with rich dirt,
and SOW seed in the bare places, than
to spade or plow the plot and reseed
where there is a tough sod.

AGRICULTURAL.

THE Loss OF MANURE.-Notwith-
standing the universal cutlery among
farmers in the older States about the
want of manure, yet how often Is 1t
true that from one-half TO three-fourths
of the value of animal excrements. solid
and LIQUID, are lost or nearly SO. Take
a barn without cellar, for example,
where the livestock are stabbed during
the winter. In such barns over New
Englsnd-and there are many, good
barn cellars, being doubtless, the ex-
ception-the liquid excrements are
usually thrown out of the stable win
dows and fall directly under the drop
pings of the caves of the barn, thus
washing out, 1t is not unreasonable to
suppose, one-half of the soluble proper
ties of the remaining portion Of the
manure heap, leaving only one-fourth
of the stable droppings to be directly
used in manuring the cultivated grounds
of the farm. Experience and observa-
ton have taught US a lesson. Having
been accustomed to using barns with
out cellars, we found after building a
barn with cellar, that the value of the
manure from the livestock of the farm
was increased more than threefold the
first year after using it as compared
with the preceding year, with the same
number of cattle, horses and hogs.
If farmers would heed these sugges-
tons and put them into practice, there
would be less complaint about the de-
ficiency of manure. By employing
their stable manure as fresh as possible,
they would still further increase its
value, and as the result, harvest much
more bountiful crops of grass, cereals,
tubers, roots and vegetables. This in
crease of seven;y-five per cent. of dung
might, Of itself, make the difference be-
tween farming at a profit or loss
Will farmers take care and stop this
aste of manure so common over New
England. 1t would seem that no thrifty,
ehterprising farmer would suffer this
loss to go on another year. Husband
well every manurial resource Of your
farm, exercising ever the same rigid
economy here as is done with reference
to using or utilizing crops. 81.

A mandatory of a new kind of belt
ing has been recently established at
North Oakland, Cal, in which the en-
trails of sheep are used in the produr-
ton of an exceedingly strong and dur
able belt. The entrails. which will
average about fifty-five feet in length.
are first thoroughly cleaned and placed
in vats of brine, where they remain
some days. When thus prepared they
are not much thicker than a piece of
common cotton twine, and will sustain
weight of about ten pounds. The
next stage in the process of manufac-
tnre is to wind the prepared materials
upon bObbins, after which the process
is the same as in making common rope.
This method is used to produce round
belt, but where a wide, fiat belt is to be
made, a loom ia employed. and the five
strands are woven together, as in rib
bon manufacture. The fiat belts are
made of any size. and the round are of
sizes varying from one sixteenth of an
inch up to one inch and half in diam
eter. The round belts are made either
in the form of smooth cord, or as
ropes with from three to five large
strands. The three-quarter inch rope
is said to stand strain of seven tons,
and is guaranteed to last ten years.
Hemp rope will last on an average not
over three years. The three-eights
round cord, containing one hundred
and fifty strands, will endure strain
of about four tons. d.

A Ner Photo Sculpture Process. In
the United States Army Department at
the Centennial, there was exhibited q
handsome model of the Rock Island
Arsenal 1t is to be regretted that this
work of art did not bear some descrip-
ton as to the manner in which it was
produced-an explanation of which we
find for the first time in the recently
issued report of the Chief of Ordnance
of the United States army. From the
various buildings, it appears, positive
photographs were obtained, represent
ing all their different sides. Each view
was then exposed over thick film of
seDsitized gelatin covering q glass plate
and afterwards the soluble, Opaque
portions of the gelatin were. washed
out. The film was then swelled by a
peculiar process, so as to magnify Its
differences of level. until a suitable re-
lief was obtained; and a plaster cast
being taken of the film, it gave per-
manent mould from which many repe
titiOns could be made. A successive
series of these plaster views, taken from
the different sides of a house, were
mitered together at their edges; and
when rooted in. they formed perfect
reproduction of the house itself, every
stone and crevice being represented.
In one building. the stats, of lattice
work around the piazza were plainly
exhibited, in lines not over 0'O06 inch
in width. The model was made by
Baron T. Won EglOffstein.

In the dispatches with regard to M. Du-
faure there may be a glimmer Of hope for
the reconciliation OF the different views that
have inspired the passions and disputes by
which France has been SO deeply troubled
through the whole summer but it is not
yet clear precisely what his authority is.
The Left disclaim him under the general
statement that they have not authorized
anybody to act as intermediary for them.
Indeed, it is not positively certain that
he acts with any authority whatever.
It may be true that the Marshal,
urged to promise that he would favor o
revisio1D6f the constitution in republican
sense did in reality only call NJ. Dufaure
to declare the impossibility ofsuch course
on his part, and that Dufaure then
responded that the Marshals pride as to his
dignity and the demand Of the Left for
guarantees of the future were not necessa-
rily irreconcilable. From that point the
interview would almost inevitably drift to
the very point indicated in the stories that
represent the former Minister as an inter-
mediary; for when man says that he be-
lieves it possible to reconcile hostile claims
as to . point of great importance, the
inquiry "How?" cannot be restrained by
ordinary men. And to answer that inquiry
would be to trace the outline Of
political programme. This is the
labor in which report says Dufaure
is engaged, and that story is consequently
.cko xv;x k1a 20 k1,ck H..
called only in order to hear the Marshal's
objection to the exclusion from the consti-
tuition Of the power Of the Executive
to dissolve the Chamber. If any man in
France can reconcile the claims of the
parties, can satisfy at once the Marshal and
the Lett, it is M. Dufaure. He is so distinctly
man Of moderate opinions that his name
will reassure all that is reasonable in the
conservative opinion Of the country, and so
undoubtedly believer in the Republic that
the republicans, fully awake to the danger
Of trying extreme steps, can scarcely fail to
accept the plan he will prepare. There is
no real political difficulty in the case for,
in fact, the trouble has all the time been o
personal difficulty, and the separation of the
Marshal from the unpropitious personalities
is almost equivalent to solution. It will
be very good news if the report as to M.
Dufaure is confirmed. 1t looks as though the
majority Of the Chamber will not compro-
mise on the Budget The matter comes up
for discussion tomorrow, when the crisis
will be brought to positive test of moral
power on both sides.

A Fortunate Man.

Some men ore born to good luck. Byrne,
the keeper at the Insane Asylum who had
SO deadly hand to hand struggle with the
deceased inmate, Odenwald, testified before
the Coroner yesterday that he was for fifteen
minutes engaged in the terrible fight Ac-
cording to his own account he attempted
to drag Odenwald away from another pa
tient when the mailman turned and seized
him. They clinched each other and fell
heavily several times, the FIRST time on two
pals with iron handles, and once the de-
ceased struck against the corner of an iron
bedstead. These falls must have been Sc
we're ones. for poor Odenwald, besides o
confusion on the head and bruises all over
the body, had eight ribs broken and driven
into his lungs on, one side and three
on the other side; yet the fortunate
Byrne, though he shared the falls did not
share the injuries. He stands before the
Coroner giving his testimony hale and
hearty, although, it is said, bearing scratch
or two on his throat Fortunate Byrne |!
And the beauty OF it is that the lucky fellow,
amid all the deadly struggle which so
crushed and mangled large, powerful man
as to leave him insensible for forty-eight
hours until death terminated his suferings.
was enabled to conduct himself in humane,
Christian manner u never kicked Oden-
wald," he swears, 'nor abused him in any
way" Singular that the crushed ribs and
liberated lungs should have been confined
to one Of the combatants. Should not the
District Attorney be represented at this ex-
animation !? Is it TT that it should be left
wholly in Coroner Cookers hands?

Congress Yesterd y.

The Senate was not in session yesterday,
having adjourned until tomorrow. In the
House large number Of bills were intro
duced and one or two were passed The
most important, in general way, was one
from the Judiciary Committee repeating
what is known as the iron-clad oath, set in
the statutes during the stormy days of re-
construction, and which has long been an
anachronism. Another statute, the politi-
cal birth of the same period, imposing jury
disqualifcations on account of the rebellion,
was also repealed. 1t is fitting that with the
disappearance of the Southern question from
our politics these partisan laws should dis
appear also, and the Senate, it is to be
hoped, will not interpose an objection.
Colleges and universities have been
relieved, 80 far as the House can
do SO, from. the burden of paying
taxes on alcohol used in the preservation of
specimens, and two other resolutions were
adopted-one directing the enforcement of
the joint rule prohibiting the sale of liquors
in the restaurant Of the House and the other
providing for the erection of railing
around the desks of members, SO as to keep
them fenced in from lobbyists and other in
traders. Thus fortified against the wicked
lobby;a and the temptation to intemperance
the popular. branch Of the Forty-fith Con-
gress Is in fair way'to become a'model of
purity and reform. ~

A Useless Confsre m 9 e.

It is manifest from the conference held at
the Mayors Office yesterday that our pres
emit city officials are incapable Of giving as
clean streets. Mayor Ely himself, with an
easy Indifference, expresses the opinion
that the streets could not be better cleaned
with the present appropriation than they
now are, although the official protest of the
Board Of Health against their dangerously
filthy condition, and the notorious fact that
the Street Cleaning Bureau has not for
weeks made even q pretence Of cleaning the
streets accustomed the very conference at
which the Mayor expresses this opinion.
Professor Chandler, Of the Board Of Health,
declares the streets to be in dangerously
filthy condition, and testifies that some of
them are entirely neglected. MI. Hawley
the chief clerk Of the Police Board, thought
it would require three million dollars year
to clean all the streets and an extra million
and half to remove the snow.
1t is absurd to tell the people of New
York that eight hundred thousand dollars q
year is not sufficient to give them clean
streets in such weather as we have enjoyed
this year. The streets are filthy because
the money is not properly expended, and
not because it is insufficient. The city has
neverbeen SO shametully neglected as under
the present'authorities. Mr.. Hawley stated
as reason why it was necessary to dump
garbage and ashes and street sweep.
ings oil together that the dwell
ers in large tenement houses could
not be induced to separate them. and it
would "cause endless trouble" to compel
them to do 80. But all the citizens of New
York do not dwell in large tenement houses,
and we should like Mr.. Hawley to explain
why the separation cannot be made in all
other cases and the mixed emptyings of these
few tenement houses be disposed Of with
the separated garbage? The difficulty lies
in the incapacity of the officials and in the
expenditure Of the street cleaning money
on large payrolls for labor and carts, which
are mere pension lists for ward politicians.
If the Mayor would do his duty and re-
move the public officers who have neglected
their public duties, filing their places with
energetic, capable, independent men, he
would soon find that the honest expendi-
ture Of nearly million dollars year
would give US much cleaner streets than we
have had for the lost year.

The Commissioners of Excise have sud
denly determined not to take money on de-
post from applicants for licenses, and
it Is stated that they are returning
the money they have already received
from persons whose licenses have not been
granted. The practice of receiving the
amount Of the license fee on deposit and
withholding the license for further
consideration has been followed Tor
several months, and it has been stated
that more than two-thirds of the liquor
stores and saloons in New York have been
thus dealt with. A very large sum OF
money mus have accumulated in the Com
missioners' hands from this sort Of suspen-

decided move toward civil service reform.
The President has no right to re-
gard all the citizens Of New York
as simpletons but o man must be very
much fool indeed not to perceive
that Mr.. Hayes New York Custom House
appointments are dictated by. pure hos
tility to Senator Conkling. 1t is one of the
most fragrant instances in our political his
tory Of an attempted use Of patronage to
humiliate political opponent. A precious
comment on the lofty profession of the
President that the patronage of the govern
ment is to be used only for the promotion
of broad public interests I
It is charitable to assume that the Presi-
dent could not have made such mis-
takes unless he had been badly advised.
Elected as arepublican, and having no claim
to public consideration except as member
of that party, what title has he to
pursue course directly contrary to that
which Mr. Blaine or Mr.. Morton or Mr..
Conkling would have adopted had either of
them been nominated and elected
in his place Even Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler, who was elected on
the same ticket with him, repudiates
his policy. How are we to account for the
fact that President elected by the repub-
licans finds himself ut war with the leaders
of his party before he has been year in Of
fee? Is Mr.. Hayes SO much superior to all
the other republican statesmen that the
party would have chosen him had 1t known
<Lok 80 ,vo,,1d ca< b;yoco1f IN c,,pOc;<;op ~
all the members of both houses of Congress
who enjoy its confidence? The idea is
absurd.
Considering the mediocrity Of Mr.. Hayes
talents and his limited experience in pub
lie life rs compared with the foremost re-
publican leaders. it is impossible to suppose
that he would have set their judgment at
defiance if his own modesty and his own
sense Of his abilities had controlled his ac-
ton. He is doubtless the victim of
bad advisers. Who these bad advis-
ers are we will not undertake to
determine. We think it incredible that
one Of them should be Mr.. Evarts-
''little Evarts," as Mr.. Conkling called
him-because Mr.. Evarts is too good a law
yer and has too large an experience in affairs
to lead a new President to his ruin by set
ting him at loggerheads with the party that
elected him. Had Mr.. Evarts been the Presi-
dents political adviser he could not have
permitted him to get into hot water with the
foremost men Of his party. But it is clear
that Mr.. Hayes has been misled. He is
too modest, sincere and honest to
have got into such a scrape without
having been pushed into it by bad
counsellors. We are confident that Mr..
Evarts is not one of them but whoever
they may be they have put him in posi-
ton which will make his shilly-shally,
Mandy PANTY, milk-and-water administra-
ton more contemplate than that of Polk
or .'poor Pierce" President Hayes can re-
deem himself by following better advice.
II he would reconstruct his Cabinet, still
keeping Mr.. Evarts at its head, he might,
perhaps, recover the confidence Of his party
and make useful if not brilliant admin
istration.
