Ground Slate rs a Fertilizer.

Some time since we printed letter on
this subject for G. d. s. of Fairhaven, to
which we appended some words of caution
in regard to testing it carefully before max
ing heavy investment. All chemical fer
tilizers except plaster and ashes are now
sold for more than they are worth, and cost
the farmers all they can make out of them,
even when good of their kind. If slate
were as good or nearly as good, as plaster,
at the price asked for it (s5 tom it might,
in some cases at least, be worth purchasing.
G. ID. S. sends us another communication on
the subject, and gives us the following
analysis

SINGULAR CASE.

A remarkable suit has just closed at
Elkton. Years ago Daniel Lord, native
Of Litchfield, Conn, in tramping with
his peddler's pack struck the old Elk
Forge, and with his accumulated dimes
bought it. Later, Daniel married Rebec-
ca Markley, and assumed her name.
They appeared to get poorer, so he took
his pack again and started out on the
road, retaking the name Daniel Lord.
Whenever Le would go home to Elkton
to rest, however, he was kno wn as Daniel
Markley. After his wife's death and
while he was living quite wealthy by
this time) with his son-in-law, Henry
Cross, of Philadelphia, his mother, to
whom he had given promise never to
marry, found him out. He died IN 1866,
and then his mothers family claimed the
property, on the ground tina. the alleged
wife was his IAistress. After long litiga-
ton the matter narrowed down to the
possession of the personal property,
which the children Of Lord, alias Mark
ley, sued for. The Other day the Cecil
Court gave verdict in their favor for

The siivcrQucsti.n In England

| LONDON, April A deputation Of the
| LiyerDool Chamber of Commerce on the
silver question was received to-dav by
| Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, and Lord Cranbrook, Secre-
tary of State for India. The deputation,
through Its Chairman, said its object was
| TO direct attention to the serious depreci-
alton of silver and its damaging conse-
quences to trade. Sir Stafford Northcote
, said the question was very important and
very complicated; that any change in
the laws affecting the currency Of this
country must be considered with extreme
care; that it cann,,t be undertaken with
out knowledge of what the views of
other countries are likely to be regarding
it !; that the question already had been
and was still being very carefully consid-
cred by the Government, both wi h refer
ence to the relations between England
and India and in its more general aspects.
He could not say more at the present
stage Of the matter, except to assure the
deputation that their views would GER
tainly be taken into consideration in the
study which the Government was now
| giving the whole subject.
The Times, in leading editorial article,
says:
The eminent financial authorities who
sit on the front opposition bench, Messrs.
Gladstone, Childers and Goschen, threat
en- TO attack Sir Stafford NoIthcote's finan-
cial policy, but we shall be surprised il
his proposals do not meet with general
approval. At no time since the gloomiesi
days of Pitts administration has the
country had to contend against such a
combination of troubles as the last veal
or two have let loose. Distress and de
Ipression at home, inexplicable confusicr
in finance and commerce, banking disas
t. IS, and the depreciation of the preciou!
metals, have made it hard for tax-payer
to bear an increase of their burdens
while at the same time wars and rumor
of wars in every part of the world impose
those burdens upon us. This state o
things will pass away, and with the re
turn OF peace aud prosperity the ex
pediency of giving temporary relief t.
the taxpayers at such crisis will b.
fully vindicated.

DISCIPLINE IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

IL New York, on Thursday "a fire broke
out in public school No. II, where was
present that day, by roll call, in the pri-
mary ard grammar schools, 2,3oO boys
aud girls in different rooms ON three
floors. There were none but lady teach
srs, tho fire spread rapidly, the alarm
came generally early, aud the children
were terribly frighten But these la
dies proved themselves fully equal to
the dreadful emergency. With PLACID
voices and the quiet exercise OF their ha-
bitual authority they quelled every incl
pient tendency to panic, kept the child
rem in their seats and places,a and marched
them as orderly az ii on parade, class by
class, room by room, down the stairs, out
of the building, and into the open air,
without a scratch or bruise to anyone,
a nd almost without the loss of a single
article of clothing. This was done with
smoke all around them and the flames
close behind them; and it speaks volumes
| for the cool, calm heroism of these ladies'
| and for the excellent drill and discipline
| of the pupils. 1t also shows vast i'm
provement in the manner of meeting
| these emergencies, for it has only been a
few years since many lives were lost in
| one of the New York schools during a
panic and rush caused by an alarm OF
| lire. One of the New York papers truly
says that had such fire broken out In a
theatre containing 1850 persons, panic
and a catastrophe like that Of the Brook
lyn theatre could scarcely have been
avoided

Shot by an Actress.

At the Coleman House, n. y, Thurs
day morning, woman who had register
ed the previous night as Miss Zuland, of
Philadelphia, entered the private parlor
of Miss Alice Harrison, a well-known
actress, and after few angry words, with
Mr.. Washington Nathan, Ga son of Ben
jamin Nathan who was murdered some
years ago) and who had entered the par
lor a few minutes previous, she drew a
small pistol and fred at Nathan, the ball
taking effect in the neck, beneath the lobe
of the left ear, and passing around EN-
bedded itself in the heavy muscles OF :he
light side. The wound, though danger
Gus, is not necessarily fa' al. The woman
then fired shot at Miss Harrison, which
fortunately missed its mark, and she then
retired to her room. 1t has been pretty
well ascertained that the woman who
did the shooting is in fact Miss Marion
Ward, the actress, who says she sho:
Nathan in fit of jealous rage because
he had ruined and deserted her Tor the
company Of Miss Harrison.

l Wonderful Mining Country

The Bodie (Cal.) Daily Standard of
March "a, in its weekly review OF the
mining operations of Bodie District, says:
''The past week has had its episodes in
the way Of developments and fluctuations
in the mines and stocks. The develop
ment that has caused the most gossip and
speculation is the wonderfully rich strike
in the Belyidere, which fully holds its
own in size and quality of metal. Should
this chimney continue to grow for ano-
taer week, as during the past four or five
days, Belvidere is sure to make q noise
in the world. BlackhawK stock has kept
along at previous figures, the mine show
ing no unfavorable change, while Bech-
tel has fallen according as the south drift
on the 40O-foot level was supposed to vary
in appearance. There has nothing seri-
Gus occurred at any point sufficient to
cause any special fluctuations in stocks I;
on the other hand, work is extended to
that degree in number of mines that
the district is on the eve Of series of
developments some of which will surely
be OF such Importance as to attract unu-
sual attention if not electrity the mining
public at large. One of the singular
features of Bode stock is the small
amount of transactions in Standard Con-
solidated. Could the outside world but
once realize the great resources Of that
property the stock would quadruple ii
value forthwith. AS compared with any
of the Comstock mines on established
merit the stock OF this mine is worth
$3.50 per share, according to average
quotations. The standard is a series oi
bonanzas, with mere coming, besides
possessing vein formations suggestive ol
great depth and Importance, placing q
prospective value upon the property oi
many millions of dollars. The rich orr
all ready for extraction is worth more
| than the Stock Board estimates.o

A COLD SNAP DOWN SOUTH.

CHARLESTON, April A hard freeze
last night seriously damaged the early
vegetable crops on the truck farms in this
vicinity. The injury TO potatoes IS esti-
mated at 20 per cent. and the cucumber,
tomato and bean crops are almost entire
ly killed. Straw berries are badly hurt
and retarded fully two weeks. The loss
to the truck farms around Charleston is
estimated at O quarter Of q million dol.
lars.
ATLANTA, April 4.-The weather is
quite cold here to-day, the thermometer
indicating 81 degrees. The peach, pear
and apple crops are ruined. The cold
snap does not extend all over the State.

TUNNELING NORTH RIVER.

The long-talked-of bill for tunneling
the North river, opposite Christopher
street, New York, has passed the New
York Assembly, and there is very little
doubt that it will pass the Senate and re-
ceive the sanction OF the Governor. Par
ties who are interested in the enterprise
say in that case work will be commenced
upon it at once, and that it will provide
employment for thousand men or more
for several years TO come. 1t will cost
some five or six millions, according to
the most careful estimates, but where the
money Is to come from does not yet very
clearly appear.

SOMEBODY has said that hydropho-
bia does not occur on the Pacific
coast. Be this as it may, the follow
ing new remedy for this terrible dis
ease is worth remembering. An Eng
fish journal publishes the specific as
endorsed by an eminent surgeon of
Paris, and it is as follows: Take
the leaves of the Zdnthium !Sylnosum,
one of the common tho,ns, make a
strong tea of them and administer
freely TO the patient, three times a
day, till all signs OF the disease have
disappeared. The presence of this
detection in the human stomach APP
pears to wholly nentralize the virus
incident to the bite of a rabid dog.

Have we not board of fire wardens
whose duty it is to make tour Of

officers few years ago, and they
visited our own domicile for the pur-
poses above mentioned. Who are
they now? We are rapidly gaining
a large Chinese population aud for
prudential reasons the suggestions

special reference to these peo-
pie and their crowded quarters on
Main and Fourth streets. We are

to execute the pieces assigned to

THE Superintendent of the Water
Company informs us that all con-
sumers supplied from the old mains
will be deprived of water hereafter
at night. The quantity lost by leak
age, he claims, is immense, aud he
has to shut it off nights to accum-
ulate a supply for the remainder of
the twenty-four hours. A CORE
spending reduction in the rates, will
probably not lie made, unless the
property passes into other hands.
If our people are to be Obliged to
lay new pipe and connect with the
new mains to obtain an adequate
supply of water, it would be the part
of wisdom to count the cost of con-
structiug works of their own. No
better investment should be made
by property owners, if the scheme
should be placed under prudent
management.
