Col. BufOrd'S Defense.


Among the lawyers retained to defend
Col. Thomas Buforo, in his trial for kill.
ing Chief Justice Elliott, of Kentucky,
is ex Judge Curtis, OF this city. Judge
Curtis il personal friend of Gen. A.
Butord, q brother of the prisoner, and
was engaged through him. He has been
engaged in several cases involving guess
tions of insanity, including that OF DR..
Helmbold, who, after three years of liti-
CATION, was decided to be in possession of
his faculties unimpsired, and the Bouden
Wi; contest, ia which the theory was
established that person in the advanced
stages of Bright's disease is incapable of
making a valid will. He declined last
evening to state what the line of defense
would be in this instance, but said that,
Judging from the published accounts of
the killing, he had no doubt that Col.
Buford at the time of the deed was in
sane. The trial is set down for the 2Sth
inst, and he will start for Kentucky a
week earlier. His first effort will be to
secure an adjournment of the trial and
a change of venue. He has the news
from Kentucky that the lawyers there
are afraid to take part in the defense, but
refuses 10 believe it.

The depth of soil can alone determine
the depth of blowing When the soil is
shallow the gradual deepening of it
should be sought by the use o. appropFi-
ste materials FOR improvement until the
object is fully attained. The suOsOii
ought not, IS a rule, TO be brought out
of its bed except in small quantities to
be exposed to the atmosphere curing the
fall, winter and spring, or in summer
fallow; nor even then except when such
fertilizers are applied as are necessary to
put at once into productive condition.
Two Indifferent soils of opposite charac
ter, as a stiff clay and sliding sand, some
times occupy the relation OF surface and
subsoil to each other. and when thor
Oughly mixed 81 d subjected to cultivs~
ton they will produce a soil of greatly
increased value.
Soils appropriated to gardens and hOr-
ticultural purposes are often deepened
TO fifteen and even eighteen inches with
benefit, and those Tor general tillage GRO -
to about twelve inches with decided adj
vantage. But whatever is the depth OF
the soil the pillow ought to turn up the
entire mass if within its resch, and what
is beyond it should be thoroughly broken
ND ty the subsoil pillow. When all cir
cumstances are favorable TO the use Of
the subsoil pillow, sn increase in the crop
follows, SIS the hard earth below the
reach of the ordinary pillow has been
loosened. This permits the escape OF the
water which falls on the surface, the cir
cuIation of air and 8 more extended
rsnge for tie roots of the plants, by
which they procure additional nourish-
ment and secure the crop sgainst
drought. The benefits of subsoil plow-
ing are most apparent in an impervious
clay subsoil and least evident in loose
and leschy soils.
On low or strong land the experienced
farmer prefers to see the furrow left on
edge exposed to the action of air and
harrow. Sandy or dry soil requires fiat
blowing, which tends to consolidate the
land.
As rule those crops are the most pro-
ductive which are plewed the ofteDest.
Caution must be used, however, espe-
cialiy after the second blowing of corn,

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnor-
mai condition, many people have erroneously
considered il as az evidence OF health, and
any agent thss reduces fat Is therefore at once
suspected OF being injurious. Starting to
reason from the false position that lat Is an
evidence of heslth, il is not surprising that
they should, very naturally, fall into the
rror of surprising that an agent posses sing
properties capable of reducing cOrpuleney
would prove Injurious to the health. Reason
ing, however. from the rational basis, that
an undue deposition Of fat, constituting
obesity is not healthy but a morbid eondl~
ton, it is q1i e as natural foe Us TO arrive at
the opposite conclusion, which is sustained
by experience and observation, 4. c that the
reduction of fat in cases of corpuleney IS
invariably followed by an improvement of

REPUBLHCANusM HN MAINE.

Secretary Sherman is in misera-
BILE dilemma. just as he is on the
eve of his departure for Maine, where
he intended to make some stump
speeches on money questions, with a
puff or two for Secretary Sherman's
financial achievements, he gets notice
from Maine that they don't want any
finance talk from Sherman's stand
point. Maine is badly torn up, and
the Republicans haven't yet forgot
ten last years campaign, when the
money question about broke up the
party. What they want up there is
some horrible Southern outrage fresh
from the vivid mind of Blaine, and
they don't propose TO fool with any
thing else if they can avoid it. AS
matter of fact there is no man in this
country who can grind out more
atrocious and thoroughly pitiful
Southern outrage than John Sherman
when nc gets his powerful intellect
down to tnat kind of business. But
Sherman is uncomfortably now, with
a personal campaign on his hands,
which would most likely go to pieces
if Southern outrages are to be made
the important feature of the campaign
leading up to the next Presidency.
On that issue nobody wants Sher-
man for candidate; the general raj
ly will be around Grant and Sher-
man is not now prepared to 90 into
Maine, and work up a lot of third
term enthusiasm. On reflection the
Secretary of the Treasury may find
himself too much occupied with pub
lie business to go to Maine at ALL

states the method and extent of the

WASHINGTON, July Sd, 1S79.-My
Dear Sir. The Extra Session is at
an end. In my judgment, no session
of Congress has ever done more for
the vindication Of the principles of
American Liberty. We have success
fully maintained the principle that
the bayonet shall not control the bal
lot box; we have repealed the infa-
nous Jurors test oath; we have pro-
yided for impartial juries in the Fed
eral courts, North and South; and
We have maintained the principle
that the Federal government shall
not interfere in the election Of the Of
ficers of the States. A greater de
claration in favor Of popular liberty
has not been made since the adop-
ton Of Magma Charta.
Yours truly,
