Co.. Chronicle. Speaking Of congressional

The Rock Island Unaom of Tuesday
dominates Judge Lyn6e of that city. to
succeed Gen, Henderson 10 congress The
Union thinks that that part of the district
is entitled to the member on geographical
considerations, and because the local in
terests there demand much attention in
congress; aud says the other end of the
district has had the member four years,
and they but two. We would inquire OF
the Union who il was that nominated the
member from the other end of the district
and why? It may be remembered that
Rock Island had the member. four years
ago-a representative of whom the whole
district was proud, and to whom no other
county would have thought of opposing a
candidate. No member of the house was
more efficient than he, and none more
faithful and attentive than he was to the
interests of his whole district in general,
and of Rock Island in particular. He
would without any doubt have been repre-
senting the district now. and fostering the
interests of Rock Island more effectively
than any other man could, but for the
factious action of Rock Island herself, in
which she spurned him, and doggedly cast
her vote for candidate in the other part
of the district and nominated him, when
1t was found impossible to nominate anoth-
er Rock Island man. That other, then

graceful thing that was done then, the
fruits of which have returned upon the

offensive and unwise thing that is done

then conceived in malice and wickedness
We will have none of it, now or ever; anC
we know that there are hundreds of re

Lime in Soil.

The total quantity of lime taken up
from the soil of an acre by an average
corn crop of so bushels of 60 lbs. to the
bushel, and 5000 lbs. of slower would
not exceed 25 lbs. A good crop of
clover, 5000 lbs. of hay in two cuts
would require about 125 lbs. of lime. A
crop of wheat of 25 bushels with $500
lbs. of straw would not require more
than than 10 lbs. A fair crop of pota-
toes, 1000 lbs or $50 bushels at 60 lbs.
to the bushel, would not need more than
3 lbs. A crop of 10000 lbs. of beets
only lbs., and of 5000 lbs. of timothy
hay about "a lbs. of lime. When we
look little further into the matter and
see how small proportion of this lime is
actually exported from the farm in the
crops ordinarily sold, and how large a
proportion goes back to the soil from
which it came, in the manure, the little
need of taking pains to supply lime to
plants for food will become still more
plainly apparent On any well manag-
ed farm the hay is usually all eaten by
the stock, so that none of the lime in
that part of the produce of the farm is
exported; what little is retained by the
young growing animals for the produc-
ton of bone substance is more than
made good by the lime in the water
which the animals drink; in cases
where careful comparison has been
made between the composition of the
manure of mixed herd of cattle, more
lime has been found in the total manure
than in the total fodder supplied, and
this excess could have been derived
from no other source than the water
The lime in the clover and timothy is
not, then, lost to the farm, if the
manure is cared for in any decent man
ner; the same is true of the wheat and
other straw, of the corn-stalks and the
roots. But in the acres yield of Indian
corn, taking the grain alone, there are
only about two pounds of lime, and in
the wheat but little more than one
pound. In the other cereal grains we
should have similar Insignificant guam
titles of lime, and even if the potatoes
are sold off the farm, as is often the
case to large extent, the stock of lime
in the soil of every acre producing po-
tatoes is diminished to the extent of
only three pounds. At these rates of
demand, it would take a long time to
make much impression on the reserve
supplies of lime in the soil, when such
reserves amount to from 1000 to 1900
pounds. Professor CaldWeU, before the

A South Carolina Horror.

The Barnwell Is. CO People of Jan.
18th, says: On the 10th inst, Coroner
Fleming resumed the investigation of
the burning of Stephen Enecks and his
family, on the plantation Of Mr..
Sprawls. The confession of Dexter
McCreary, colored, to the jury, revealed
the details of the most deliberate and
fiendish murder that has ever been com
mitted in our county. The confession
was to the following effect: On Tues
day, the 1stinst., Fortune Bush and Dex-
ter McCreary, both colored, agreed to
rob Stephen Enecks, who was reported
to have in his possession some 5000 or
S30O-the savings of years. On Thurs
day night, the Sd inst, pursuant to this
agreement, Bush and McCreary met
near Stephen S house, and at a late hour
Bush effected an entrance into the
cabin by raising plank of the floor. He
next opened the door, admitted Nc
Creary, and they commenced their work
of plumber. The noise that they made
disturbed Stephen and9 his wife, and
they were apparently waking. Bush
then struck them successfully on their
heads with an ak, drew their bodies
from the bed, pulled the mattress on
them, saturated it with kerosene oil,
which he had carried there, and applied
a lighted match to the mattress, DELHI
erately fastening the door in manner
in which Eneeks was accustomed to Sc
cure it, by drawing a piece of trace
chain through holes in the door and
faeinu and Y,,ff;po q s,.,;lrnoJ 18th :,
through it., They left the burning build
ing through the floor, leaving the MUIR
dered man and his wife and their two
little children to be consumed by the
flames. McCreary claims that he
wished to rescue the children when be
heard their agonizing screams as they
were being burned alive, but was de-
tered by the threats of Bush. Bush
and McCreary were committed to the
Aiken Jail on Friday last Ei.s

Unconscious Swearing.

Somebody has discovered that En-
glish women do a great deal of habitu-l
swearing without being conscious OF it,
and it is by no means certain that they
will thank him for calling their atten-
ton TO the fact. As the Objectionable
oath which he singles out is quite as
common among American ladies, give
them the benefit of his explanation. He
says that the common expletive, sDear
me, is not " dear mel at all, which
are two English words absolutely mean
ingless when so coupled together, but
that it is a corruption of the Spanish
" Dio mio," which is nothing more
nor less than "My God!" 1t is, there
fore, hoped that both English and
American ladies will hereafter be more
careful, if not of their p's and q's, at
least of their ms and DIS.

Saving Time and Property.

The waste upon many farms is equal
to, if not greater than, the profits de-
rived from them. But although few
men viii admit that they waste any
thing, by little careful observation we
can find plenty of leaks which the farm
er who permits them has never dis
covered. First in Importance and fire.
quency is the waste of time, which, by a
little foresight or the expenditure of a
trifiing amount of labor and money,
might be saved and added to the profit
side of his account. Who has not seen
farmers driving their stock in winter or
summer to some distant stream or pond
for water, when, with a slight expense,
a supply of this necessary fluid might
have been brought to the cattle yard, or
procured by digging wells and building
cisterns? Many farmers have depended
upon these distant sources of supplies
during a long life, not only wasting
