and who had called him thus, and the man
who had objected TO the epithet was only about
a minute getting all the advantages to be asked
for on such occasions.

A correspondent of the Cou"try Gentlemo"
says that no dressing of manure Is completely
consumed by the crop to which it is applied.
Soluble and active manures produce their prin-
cipal effect at once, and are of little benefit to
subsequent crops Manures sparingly soluble,
and those which must suffer decomposition IN
the soil before they are of service to the plant,
as bones and farmyard manure, will, on the
contrary, produce an effect over many years.
Farmers have prejudice IN favor of the latter
class of manures, but 1t is clear that the quick,
est return for capital invested is afforded by the
former class

Nice Police Work.

Mention was made in yesterdays STAR of
the burglarizing OF the store of Henry
Bucklage, No. II jilmore's Landing, night
before last.
Yestar.lay afternoon Officer Knox dis
covered hid away in an old boiler lying on
the levee, all the boots and shoes stolen
from Bucklage's store. The officer informed
Lieutenant Burke of his discovery, and it
was concluded to send officers in that
neighborhood just about roll-call, when the
thieves 10 doubt would return for their
booty, thinking that all of the police would
be attending rol-call. This was done, and
sure enough the thieves came as antici-
pated, and were promptly gathered up in
the act OF taking the boots from the boiler.
They were taken to the Hammond-strect
Station-house where they gave the names
of Wm. McKeowp, 1872 Fast Third street;
Frank Ryan, no home; Robert Scott, Chi
cago, and Frank Rodgers, Chicago. In the
Police Court this morning their cases were
continued TO March 1St.
