after much discussion, it remains UNI

made by any one who had informed
himself on the subject We have
thoroughly tested this question by
measuring the results and find almost
uniformly an increase of % to so per
cent. with drill corn over hills, provided
the proper distance is given for the
plants; 1t would be easy to obtain a
diminished amount from the drills if
too thinly planted; or ears of an in

Science Notes.

Ia "A recent voyage from Melbourne
to the Fiji Islands, the steamer ariel
called at Lord Howe Island, where
twenty-five people in all were found.
The island is mountainous, of volcanic
origin but well-wooded, about five miles
long, and from one and half to two
miles broad, and is situated some 400
miles east of Sydney. The communi-
cation of the inhabitants with the outer
world is nowadays very uncertain, AS
whalers but rarely visit them.
A CONTRACT has beeen concluded by
M. Sibiriakoh, of Irkutsk, in Sibiria,
with the firm of Kockum, whereby the
latter are to build him steamer of $50
tons burden for the purpose of going to
the assistance Of the Vega. 1t is ex-
pected that the steamer will be ready
soon enough to start fully equipped
with provisions IN time to reach Behr-
ing's Straits by way of the Suez Canal
next August, in order to assist Prof.
Nordenskjold and his companions. The
vessel will afterwards trade to the
Lena, and if possible even to the Ienesei.
BENJAMIN WoLsEY DWIGHT states in
his "Memoirs Of the Connecticut AGA

dyspepsia is a modern disease in this
country, and was scarcely known until
the present century. This he attribut-

date, whereby both sexes were COMPEL

cultural work with their other avoca-
tons, and that patent bitters and other
stomach-destroying stimulants were not

KING MTEsA, of Uganda, having e.

Salisbury has replied that the ambassa-

with the courtesy and attention due to
the representatives of a king who has
shown himself DESTROYS of entering into

who has received with kindness and af-

PHOENIX FAIR.-Mest elaborate prep
arations have been instituted for the mp
preaching agricultural and mechanical
fair to be given on the 9th and 28th
insts., by Phoenix Fire Company No. Of
Donaldsonyille, and as the appointed
time approaches, nearly every day de-
velops some new scheme for attracting
visitors and affording them. entertain
ment and amusement. Besides the fea-
lures advertised in another column Of
our paper it is announced that there will
be grand military parade by the Cam
noneers and Cofeld Battery next Sun
day afternoon, succeeded by competi-
tive. drill; Saturday night an enter
tainment in the new hall by the Wan
dering Minstrels; Sunday night con-
cert by amateur singers, and Monday
night a grand complimentary ball to
wind up with. The price of admission
to the minstrel performance will be 50
cents and each purchaser Of ticket will
be entitled to chance in the rattle Of an
elegant No. 9 White sewing machine
valued at 800. During the fair, in addi-
ton to the contest between young ladies
for the elegant prizes enumerated in the
conspicuous advertisement in another
column, a silver trumpet will beexposed
for competition and awarded to the fire
company receiving the highest number
of votes. This trumpet is fine speci-
men of workmanship and was presented
to the managers of the fair by Hon. Nor
ris Marks, Collector of Internal Revenue
for Louisiana and ex-President of Pho
nix Fire Company. Phoenix, Ascension
and Blue Bucket FIRE companies, the
Cannoneers of Donaldson and Cofield
Battery will all attend the fair in uni
form, and we have no doubt the many
attractions will draw a large crowd of
other visitors. The construction Of the
hall is being rapidly pushed forward,
and the building will be sufficiently ad-
vanced towards completion by the 9th
to afford all necessary house room for the
grand fair then to take place.
