WANTED TO BE SENTENCED.

There is man in this county who has
obtained a very intimate acquaintance
with the interior arrangements Of the
county jail, access being gained through
the dispensation of justice at the county
court. Lately the man was brought III
as witness and naturally supposed he
was up for some offense, knowing well
that number were left "unwhipt." When
time fer dinner was reached the judge in
timated his desire to enjoy square meal
and the itigants, lawyers and witnesses
filed out leaving the man of many woes
with Kirwan. The prisoner, as he be-
lie7ed himself to be, surprising that the
usual sentence was pronounced, waited
for an officer TO put in an appearance, but
as he saw no one he inquired whether
he was to walk up to that Jail by HIM
self" "Never has the world heard OF
one more indignant than he when he
found he was only a witness and not a

sentence of some sort in order to appease
the anger of the man who thought he had
lost his reputation by appearing in court
in any other role than as defendant in
prosecution by the state.

fact that that firm is selling goods at low

general that the peaked Sisters were

of laughablo things in the play, and with
a little more variety the affair would be

An Englishman's View.

&C. G." (whom we understand to be an
English farmer, George Gardiner by name,
who has been sometime settled and engaged
in farming in this country, having previously
had a thorough agricultural training in Eng
land), in writing to the Country Gentleman
says speaking of the land-scalping which
goes by the name of farming in the West
"For the sake Of the future in this country, it
would be much better to fatten cattle and sheep
and send them to the meat markets than to send
grain to Europe, for although some soils will con-
nue to grow good crops for several years success
lively, there is in reality none that will not wear
out in time It will be poor comfort for future
generations to find that their ancestors have over
run the whole continent, and plowed over every
fertile spot that they could search out, and hay
ing skinned all the virgin soil, having extracted
the beautifully rich plant food, by growing and
sending grain out Of the country have then left 1t
as an Inheritance for their descendants
This is exactly the view that has been re.
peatedly enforced in these columns; but
the commercial press of our cities still con-
tinues to exult in our great grain exports,
and its fatuous talk is echoed in the lawyer
nd.politician edited country papers. These
scalping farmers are even praised, as the
saviors instead of the destroyers OF the
land. {" See, my son, with what wisdom the
world is governed !"

John Brighps Views.


To drink deeply-to be drunk-is a sin /;
this is not denied. At what point does the
taking of strong drink become sin The
state in which the body is when not excited
by intoxicating drink is the proper aud nat
ural state; drunkenness the state farthest
removed from it. The state of drunkenness
is state OF sin. At what age does it be-
come sin? We suppose a man perfectly
sober who has not tasted anything that can
intoxicate one glass excites him, and to
some extent disturbs the state of sobriety,
and so far destroys it; another glass excites
him still more; third fires his eye, loosens
his tongue, inaames his passions a fourth
increases all this fifth makes him foolish,
aud partially insane a sixth makes him
savage; seventh or eighth makes him stu
pid-a senseless, degraded man, his reason
Is quenched, and his faculties are for the time
destroyed. Every noble and generous prin-
ciple within him withers, and the image of
God is polluted and defled This is sin,
awful sin "for drunkards shall not inherit
the kingdom of God" But where does the
sin begin 7 At the first glass, at The first
step towards complete intoxication, or at the
sixth or seventh or eighth Is not every

Curing Bad-Tempered Horses.

An Oswego correspondent Of the Evening
Post writes as follows concerning bad tenn
pered horses "The stable-boy told Inc a
year or so ago that my horse had got to act
ing very ugly when he drove him out of the
carriage-house-prancing, jumping, backing
and cutting up generally. On taking the
reins myself the next time he was harnessed

many horses to fall into vicious habit OF
that kind and never get out Of it, The next
day when he was put to the carriage car
ried out an apple and gave him, and while
he was enjoying it got into the buggy and
took up the lines, and he walked out of the
barn as quietly as a kitten. For more than
six months afterward he never showed The
slightest return Of his rebellious behavior

next time he took him out, apples being out
of the market. This worked an equally
sudden cure which lasts until this present
writing. Now, deem, as General jackson
used to say, that this same treatment will
cure balkiness also, as well as every other
bad habit that grows out of vexation of
mind The mental constitution of this ami
NAL, and his moral constitution too, are
much like that of child. Now you car
never beat anger out Of the bosom OF your
children, but rather does every blow make it
hotter; neither can you argue it out, or trick
il OUT but stick of candy will do it, or
any other indulgence to which the patient
is not accustomed. Let Mr.. Bergb paste
this in his hat, and fill his pockets with
apples, and he may be the lasting means OF
saving his proteges many cruelties.'

Artificial Fertilizers.

Ashes at twenty cents a bushel and fine
ground bone at thirty dollars ton are cheap
manures for any crop. With the two, any
crop can be grown that can be grown with
stable manure. On some clay soils the ashes
are not needed. On some soils for some
crops (wheat, for instance) little more
fixed nitrogen is wanted, which may be
supplied by the use of Peruvian guauo,
nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia.
An intelligent use of these fertilizers, in adj
dition to the excrements of his live stock,
will enable any farmer to grow maximum
crops upon all of his arabic land, and to
bring up his pastures to their fullest produc-
tive capacity.
But the trouble is with the matter of cost.
We have to compete with the West in every
thing that we grow. The West has on its
side the virgin fertility of much of its soil,
its ease of tilage, and rate of freight to
market over our own railroads less than one
half of that accorded to Eastern farmers.
On our side is that nearness to local markets
which gives us the opportunity of availing
ourselves promptly of a rise in prices, and
the advantage in supplying persbable pro-
ducts. Unless we can have our purchased
manures at bottom prices we cannot hold
our own. We must learn to save every ma
nurial substance within our reach to the
last ounce and the last drop. We must
learn how to apply all kinds to the very best
advantage; how to till, harvest and prepare
our crops for market in the very best man
ner. Aud then we ought to have, as we
Pure ground bone can and ought to be furn-
ished, as fine as corn meal, or finer at $50 a
ton. We cannot afford to give more for it.
At that price New York and New England
might proftably consume half million tons
annually. 1t should be made from steamed
bone, in order to remove the grease, which
is not only of no value as fertilizer but is
a hindrance to the prompt utility of the bone
as manure. We doubt the value of the
process of -phosphatsing bone by sui
phuric acid This process may be neces-
sary with the mineral phosphates, but is not
worth its cost when applied TO bones. Let
the bones be collected from all places where
they may be found the grease extracted and
used for other purposes, and the bones be
ground at fair milling rate. There will
then be no difficulty in selling them at a
fair profit for $50 ton, or perhaps cheaper.
The mineral phosphates, treated with sui
phuric acid, should be sold at about the
same rate At these prices large trade
would be justified, because farmers as well
as makers could live by it, which is not true
at present prices The practice of ammoni-
ating phosphates should be given up. Let
the farmers do their own mixing, according
to the requirements of their soil. When
ashes cannot be had let them use the German
salts as a source of potash. Cheapened and
simplifed in this manner, artificial fertiliza-
tion will be reduced to a practical basis,
and, leaving the experimental stage, will be-
come a recognized and permanent element
of our agriculture.

Coin and Paper Money.

1t is urged as an argument against silver
dollars that the people do not want them
and that consequently the great bulk Of the
coinage remains in the treasury There is
a danger which people with a predominant
thought in their minds overlook-the danger
of proving too much and that seems to be
the trouble in this case, since the people
seem to care even less for gold coin than for
silver. The silver dollars are getting quite
common, though there can be no doubt that
the people prefer the one and two dollar
greenbacks which, for some reason the gov
eminent has been withdrawing from circula-
ton. 1t is equally true that the fractional
currency was aud is preferred to fractional
silver, and that it would be restored to us
if the voice of the people could prevail in
matters financial. But the most singular
thing Of all Cat least we should think it
would seem so to our financial "authori
ties y is that the people care nothing at all
for gold, and that the amount of that metal

But "a he turns the fruitful soil,

While health Is labor's earning.
And by the sweat Of brow It's said,
That man shall earn his living,
