Minister Noyes has returned from France
and has already been interviewed by the re,
porters. Minister Noyes is an innocent
gentleman Of the Hayes persuasion who
went to Florida to give moral support to
the republican cause and see that the
Hayes electors we're counted in. The OBJ
jsct was accomplished according to his
desire and he returned to Ohio. Minister
NOyes says he did nothing but what was
honorable and upright 10 that business,
and everybody else with whom he was con
nected did the same thing. He has come
all the way from France to tell the country
how honestly and fairly everything was
transacted and how great fools the demo.
crate are in supposing otherwise. He is
ready and waiting to be called by the Potter
committee. Call him early and let him
tell his little story.

The little skirmishes down on the
Mexican border are scarcely sufficient to
keep the officials in that quarter up to the
ordinary standard of good digestion. A
vigorous and driving thunder shower of
hot day has purifying effect upon the air
and is usually succeeded by cooler and
more bracing atmosphere, but when the
sultriness is only disturbed by mere
drizzle it becomes, if possible, still more
oppressive. The chronic difficulties of the
Greasers upon the Mexican soil, though
never great or dangerous are always
seltexisteDt, and at times as they surge
near the boundary of this country they
partially slop over and annoy There is
just enough Of this sort of thing to be a
little sggravating, but il is really too

Al The annual meeting of the Massa.
chusctts Board of Agriculture, held al
Waltham. last week the subject of "The
management of night-soil" being under
discussion. Mr.. Jersey, of bingham,
said tlG,t while the fertilization of the
soil wa, Il matter of great importance
there was not a sufficient supply ofman-
urc in Massachusetts, and therefore
farmers were driven to concentrated
mercantile fertilizers. Here he said
that he was in the dark, and he wanted
answers to the questions, whether a
farmer could afford to use these fcrtiliz-
ers, and whether they keep up the good
condition of the land. Mr. Philbrick, OF
Newton, said that all farmers wanted
manure, and the trouble was that they
could not get enough. He was sorry to
say that the farmers about Boston had
found that they could not use night-soil
probably unless they got the right kind
and obtained cheap materials in connec-
ton with which to apply it. lie said
that with few exceptions the application
Of sewage by irrigation did not prove
profitable, though the land was improv-
ed. Mr.. Murray, of Watham, said that
he disapproved of the use ofnight-soil in
its natural condition, but when proper
ly prepared in manner which he de-
scribed, lie considered it the NEST valu-
able of all manures. Prof. Stockbrdgc
was called for, and responding, was re-
ceived with hearty applause. He said
that the subject of fertilizers was COM
ing to be the most important to farmers
in the older states. The farms are run
out and i'll great measure made des-
crts because we take from them their
strength for food and then send it down
into the sea. lie believed that night
soil never could be properly used while
the present system of sewers existed
That system must be changed. The
night-soil must be deodorized in the
house III cities. then thrown into barrels
and carried of into the country. Any
farmer who would waste this material
and allow it to breed disease ought to
be indicted by the grand jury. The
discussion was continued by Mcssrs.
Stockwcll and Hutchinson Of Sutton.
Hlade of Somerset, Capen of Boston,
Harlow of Shrewsbury, Hall of Digh-
ton, Moore Of Concord, Bowker and
Ward of Bridgcwater.
Mr.. StOckwcll raised the point that
the chemical contents of the Stockbridge
fertilizer were not accurately stated on
the tags attached to the bags.
Mr.. Bowkcr, the manufactures, cX-
planned why this had been so, and how
he meant 10 remedy the trouble in the
future. Mr. Ward, another manufac-
turor. having been alluded to by name,
defended himself, and charged that Mr..
BoWker had not answered the objection
which had been made to his fertilizer.

heard Mr.. Pringlc discourse upon his
iavoritc subject Of liberalization, and
have seen many specimens OF the results
of his work upon the wheat plant. This
work he has prosecuted for many years,
and he is now prepared to present to the
public the tangible and practical results
in Two new varieties of spring wheat, in
which he has successfully united the
hardness of the variety called the Black
Sea with the fine quality of the Golden
Drop.
The first of these new kinds is named
the "Champlain.' 1t is a wheat beard
ed like the Black Sea, with the white
chat of its other parent. 1t is said TO
he free from rust and smut, and yields a
lighter colored grain than the former.
The straw is said to grow six TO twelve
inches higher than its parent varieties
to stand erect, and to bear under ordin-
airy culture heads from five to six inches
in length, containing from sixty to sew
enty-iive kernels each. II is recon-
mended as among the earliest, pronis-
ing to give the growers of this impor-
tant crop "better results than are pro-
ducod by the old and run-out varieties
now sown.'
The other variety is called the "Dcfi-
ance." This is a beardless white chaf
wheat, the heads closely set with large
white kernels. Both varieties will be
offered for sale the coming season, and
we have little doubt that, by thus com
bining a great Improvement in the grain
itself with the superior skill, and the
better machinery used in milling (to
which, however, should be added an
equal skill on the part of The cultivator),
we may expect to see Clancy flour from

this to pass?- Waterman and Journal.

New Varieties ofWheat.

There can be little doubt that the
improvement that has been witnessed
in corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and many
other cultivated plants by high culture,
selection, and especially by cross-brced-
ing, can be extended TO many others.
There is no reason why all the cereal
grains may not be made more vigorous,
healthy and productive by the same pro-
cesses that have been successful with
the plants named above.
II is satisfaction to know that we
have in this stale one person at least,
who may be said TO have devoted his
life to experiments in this direction.
And it adds much to this satisfaction to
know that the person mentioned is one
who by nature, and by many years of
special study, is emincntly adapted to,
and well qualified for, the work he has
taken in hand. We refer TO G. &. Prin-
gle, of Charlotte, whose name is already
