Malone and the Republicans.

The statement is made upon Demo-
cratic an .hority that General Malone,
the Senator elect from Virginia, will 20
with the Republicans in the next Pres
idential contest il the Democrats nemi-
nate any other man than Tilden. As
between Bayard, or Seymour and Grant
he will favor Grant. The abuse which
has been heaped upon him by the Dem
ocratic press Of Virginia on account of
the position which he has taken in IA
vor of read usting the State debt, has
had its effect, and he to day is more IA
vorably disposed to support the ticket
nominated by the Republicans at Chi
cago, next June, than the one which
the Democrats will set up against ii.
Well informed Virginia Democrats are
predicting that Malone will not act
with his party next year.

At the First Presby terian Church
last evening there was a large audi

Secretary read his report which showed
revenue neutrality-suspicious. 1885,

ing the year there has been only one
death. During last year the PASTORS
bible class conceived the idea of en-
larging the school apartments; SO after
. great deal of energy and self-dsnial
they attained their purpose by reftting
the basement without one cent being
paid by the church, great deal of the
work being done by their own hands.
The Superintendent referred to the
musical standard of thu school and
made complimentary aliusions to their
leader Mr.. Clarence Schenck.
During the year there was an average
attendance of rs teachers and 164 pu-
pills.
Rev. Mr.. Latimer, formerly pastor
of Calvary church in this city, but now
Of Philadelphia, addressed the audi
ence. He referred to the pleasure it
gave him to be among 80 many friend
y and long remembered faces and said
it always did him good to come to Will
mington. There is always a kind and
cordial welcome. He was particularly
gratifed to be at the anniversary that
evening for it brought to his mind the
many kind welcoming greetings he had
secured at their hands. He spoks for
considerable length oftims rleasingly
and instruotively, the burden of his re-
marks being "God's gifts to His Peo-
ple."
Interesting memorial exercises were
held. The family of Miss Laura Okls
recently deceased, was presented with
harp made Of immortelles by the school.
The lady had for long time been
teacher in the infant school and had
owing to declining health been conpell-
cd to give the position up. A wreath
was presented to the memory of Miss
Mccall.
The following members Of the school
received presents, Miss Matte Simms

HARDLY TO BE RECoNCILED.-The feeling
against the Cinnamon in California is not at
all abated by Mr.. Hayes veto of the Chinese
Bill, and a reconciliation between the two
races seems far distant, if the following ex-
tract from speech which we clip from the
Sonoma, (Cal.) Democrat, which paper AYERS
was made by member of literary society
on recent occasion, gives an idea of the
depth of feeling on at least one side:
"Talk about reconciling the people to these

LEADERS,.

One of the most serious defects connected
with Christian congregations, is the want of
wise, prudent and energetic leader. We do
not mean a pastor or spiritual leader; but
leader in the temporalities of the cougrega.
ton. No business can be transacted with
out business agent, and no business can be
transacted safely and proftably without a
good and efficient agent. In the private at.
fairs of life, each individual is his own agent; ;
but in all societies. whether secular or relig-
ious, some one must be selected to manage
the business of that society. An army with
out leader would be nuisance an army
with leader wanting skill and energy,
would be an inefficient army. Long ago it
was said, can army of stays with lion for its
leader, is superior to an army of lions with a
stag for its leader" A Christian congrega-
ton with no one to move forward in advanc-
ing the proper work of the congregation must
live only languishing life. A congregation
with an unwise leader must soon be rent with
internal feuds, but weak congregation with
a good leader will grow and ultimately be-
come strong.
1t must be remembered that it is very
dangerous experiment for any one to push
himself forward and assume the right to gov
ern and control the affairs of any Christian
congregation. Some men were not born to
rule, and the moment they arrogate the right,
they stir up the fires of strife and rebellion.
There are some positions, both Of honor
and profit, which must not be sought These
positions must be permitted to seek the man.
1t is jeopardizing the good Of the whole for
the man to seek them. On the contrary, no
man is justifable in hiding himself behind
the multitude.
Certain endowments are necessary in order
to be the leader of Christian congregation.
Prominent among these may be mentioned
true piety and good common sense. To these
may be added reasonable amount of gener.
al information and public spirit No god
less man, or man destitute of common sense,
no matter what else be may have, should ever
be allowed to control Christian congrega.
ton. If the prominent man in Christian
congregation be notoriously ignorant, he will
inhict stigma of disgrace upon the whole
membership. If he be a narrow-minded and
miserly man, he will do the cause of Jesus
Christ great harm.

SALT ON WHEAT.

Last spring, Mr.. Joshua Knight, of Ogle
county, ILL.,, sowed thirteen barrels of salt on
twenty acres seeded to wheat, and left strip
in the middle of the piece without salt. The
ground on which he sowed the salt produced
over eighteen bushels of good spring wheat per
acre, while that on which there was no salt
was hardly worth cutting-the wheat being
badly shrunken, injured by rust, chinch bugs,
etc. ...', a.. .-=
I consider this a fair test, and it has never
before been published, though I deemed it of
sufficient Importance to report it to the De-
partment of Agriculture. A similar expert
ment was tried in Iowa last spring, and the
result was published in the Iowa City RepuJ-
lican as follows:
''H. G. Coe, of Cedar county, tried the ex-
pertinent of spreading three bushels of salt
broadcast over two acres of Wheat;teld. The
yield was forty bushels per acre, while the rest
of the field gave only nine and a half bushels
per acre. The straw was bright, not being in
jured, as the wheat alongside OF it was, and 1t
stood six inches higher.'
The following from the Montreal Gazette is
apropos; as it gives the. result of valuable
scientific experiments on the effect of salt on
wheat: =. . ~ - ..-
ssIn an interesting series of experiments re-
Gently made on the farm of the Royal Agrl-
cultural Society of England, the manure value
of salt was Enthusiastically indicated. An acre
of wheat, dressed with 800 pounds of common
salt, yielded tlfirty-nine bushels of grain, with
a proportionate amount CT straw while an
adjoining acre, left unmanured, produced only
twenty-nine bushels per acre, with the straw
imperfectly developed. The entire cost of the
crop is not stated, but this experiment shows
that the additional ten bushels resulting from
the salt, were produced at a cost of 81 cents
each In another case, piece of ground in
tended for wheat was ploughed the preceding
fall, and again in May, when it was sowed
with salt, and afterward ploughed before seed
ing On the 1st and End of September wheat,
was sown at the rate of two bushels to the
acre. The crop, when harvested yielded, ac-
cording to the estimates of the owner, Mr..
John Park, not less than forty bushels to the
acre, with luxuriant growth of straw. From
these and many similar cases, the inference
seems to be that salt is a specific for the
wheat crop, imparting solidity to the grain
and frmuess to the straw. But it must not
he concluded that equally good results will al
ways follow the application of salt. ."-R~al
