Aaviag Grass Need.

The American Farmer for February
says:
Many OF our best farmers SOW this
month on the snow, which, melting, car.
ries the seed down into the crevices and
fissures in the earth below. An advau-
tage of this plan is the regularity secured
in the distribution of the seed. II not
sown In this way, 1t is preferable to wait
until the frost Is out OF the ground then
SOW and harrow in With light harrow,
and roll. This narrowing and rolling
will not only cover the seed, but also
improve the wheat. And roots torn up
by the harrow will be pressed back into
the earth by the roller. and they generally
take rost again. On most soils, when
sown alone, twelve pounds Of seed TO the
acre is about the right quantity-though
probably more, say sixteen pounds,
would be better. Generally bushel is
made suffice for six or eight acres.
Orchard grass is becoming more and
more appreciated. When sown on the
same fields with clover, the usual pro.
portions are bushel of orchard grass to
ten pounds OF clover seed. 1t is prefer.
able to wait to SOW till later in the season
when the ground may be narrowed il
both are TO be used. Then it is better to
SOW the clover first and afterwards the
grass seed, halving the latter and sowing
In two directions; the harrow and the
roller following, as recommended fol
clover alone.
When orchard grass is sown by itsel.
thick seeding is necessary TO avoid the
formation OF stools. Tive bushels Is not
too much for sn acre. The esrliness ol
this grass in spring, its ability to endure
droughts, its nutritious qualities, it,
heavy yield offorage, and its permanence,
all unite to make it esteemed as one OF
the most useful Of our forage plants.

After marking the ground one way, rows

sown with . garden drill and covered
with Bradley's reversible harrow. On
account Of the dry weather the corn came
up very slowly and the weeds got such q
start that did not undertake 70 clean

between them.

The House Of SAVOY.

Brave, dissOlute, INSCRIPTIONS, vet with
some stateSmanlike insight and extraordinary
tIe aGS the line from H9mbert II; QO7sl
OF varied fortune, might always have been
accurately described as the soldfer-dynasty of
the Alps, with all the vices and many of the
virtues the world attributes TO the soldier and
the hungry mOuntaineer. The greatest man
of the house till Victor Emmanuel appeared
the wonderful General whom our fathers so
much admired, and who, by the side of MARI
borough, upheld through a long career of vic
tory the cause of Europe against Louis XIV,
and who signed himself habitually "Egenio
Won Savoye," because he was as much Italian
as German, and as much Frenchman as either,
appears in his memoirs, under all his court
yarnish and all his magnanimity, a Savoyard,
daring, ambitious, dissolute, luxurious, and
persistent as a river. In Victor Emmanuel
this last quality, always SO perceptible in his
house, took shape that made the fortune
alike of his dynasty and of Italy When, after
the dark day of Novara, he assembled the
throne, his subjects expected i'm the sullenly
brave prince, so deeply connected with the
Austrian house, an Italian Hapsburg, a thor
0ugh reactionary, and in part they were not
deceived No man had more of the feeling of
kingship or the pride of birth than Victor
in his own right to rule. He compelled
his parliament to. sign the peace which
saved Piedmont: he quarreled in the very
cause the great minister made a remark
which the King considered derogatory to

il was hard work to guide his political team"
He was, in fact, by temperament King of the
old type, but he had acquired, either from
some teachings of his father, or the circum-
stances of his own history, an absolute con
vicliOn that to carry his fathers policy to sue
cess, and rear the throne his father had de-
signed, he must be constitutional King. and
from that resolve he never Swerved His Aus
trian relatives implOred and threatened him
to give up the Statute: the priests, whom he,
as dissOlute and SuperStitfous man, greatly
feared, menaced him with every spiritual Suf-
fering; his closest female kInSfOlk declared
the incesSant deaths in his house a judgment
from Heaven, but the proud, hOt-tempered,
bull-headed soldier never Swerved from the
word he had given. He would keep the con,
stitution as his father had sworn, and main
tain his fathers cause, and all Italy in one
twelyemOnth recognized that he was faithful
and fell at the feet of the only Italian Prince
who could be trusted. Before he had won
province every Italian city used periodically
to be placarded with Viva Verdi the name
"Nittorio Emanuele, Re d'Italia," and in

The Cincinnati Will Case.

The trial of the celebrated Kirby will case
came to an abrupt termination Monday, coun-
sci for the defendants stating that they did
not desire to offer evidence, but were satisfied
that the case should 60 to the jury on the testi-
mony of the plaintiffs. Mr.. Kirby was an
eccentric millionaire, who died two or three
years ago, leaving will which provided for
three sets of children in addition to those
bearing his own name. His heirs among
whom are the wives of Dom Piatt and Con
gresham Banning, contested the will on the
ground that the persons whose paternity he
acknowledged were not in reality his child
rem. The testimony on their side, which has
been In progress two weeks, has been intended
to prove that the 'Old man" was the victim of
three designing women, with whom he was on
terms OF intimacy, and that they used their
power over him for their own aggrandiZe-
ment, making him believehe was the father of
their children, when he was not. 1t was shown
that one of the women purchased an infant to
deceive her aged paramour, and that this
child was one OF those who figured in the will :;
further, that another woman, who has lived
some years in Iowa, induced him to make lega-
cieS to children that had never been born.
The trial has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton on account of its peculiar features and
the prominence of the parties engaged i'm it.
The unexpected move OF the counsel for the
defendants Monday is understood to be a
device for securing a second trial in the dis
trict court, where they will have the advan-
tage of knowing the full strength of their op-
ponents' evidence without disclosing their
own. The jury at a late hour Monday night
reported their inability to agree, and were
discharged till next day.

STRANGER THAN FICTIoN-A Sane Woman
Gagged in Lundtic Asylum by Her Family
in order to Secure Her Moneu.-The inquiry
into the mental condition of Miss Susan Dick
lie, the alleged lunatic heireSS was concluded
in New York last Saturday afternoon. Miss
Dickie is now about As. She was placed i'm the
BlOOmingdale asylum in 1871 at the instance
OF her father, Patrick Dickie, and with the
consent and approval Of her brothers aud sis
tiers. Under her fathers WILL Miss Dickie in
herited an income of $50, 0OO the principal of
which, in default of lawful issue, was to be di-
yided equally among her brothers and sisters.
Mr.. Delafied summed up last Saturday, on
behalf of his client, reviewing the testimony
infinitely and claiming a conspiracy on the
part of her unnatural relatives, aided by the
suffered from sOftening of the brain Mr..
Naphagan charged the jury that thew must
first of all dismiss the allegation of idiOcy
They could find Miss Dickie either sane. in
sane, or neither. They might find her of weak
mind and make such a recommendation re-
garding the custody of her person and prop
erty as they thought proper The Jury, after
a DrleI absence, returned a verdict that Miss
Dlckle was not of unsOund mind and quite
capable OF managing her property; that she
was not insane at the time of Incarceration,
nor OF unSound mind during that period, and
that her brothers and sisters were parties to
the incarceration. The jury, however re-
commended that in view Of her long cOmpul-
sorry SecluSi0n from the world and consequent
liability to be imposed upon, the court ap-
point some competent person outside her inn
mediate family to act In the capacity of guar
dian OF her estate, to advise and assist her i'm
taking care of investments and expenditures.
