Garlbaldi's Domestic Troubles,

The old man, says a correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Bulletin, feels his quasi
banishment deeply, and he feels equally
the injustice shown him on the subject
of his unfortunate marriage, which he is
seeking to have annulled, and which
would be annulled were he any other
man than Garibaldi. You know the
story. He marries young girl whom
he thinks pure. She has loved and lovep
another; but she marries Garibaldi, who
was then star, q hero. Nor is this all
she is a mother, and even after her mar
riage, continues her love for the father OF
her child. She dishonors GaribaldIs
name in every way, and Garibaldi can-
not obtain an annulment of this mar
rage, whereas any other man in Italy
would have obtained it long ago. The
old General, consequently, is not in q
very pleasant mood just now. Victor
Hugo, it seems, knows this, for he has
invited him to renounce his nationality
and turn French, since Nice, his native
town, is French. By this means lie
would be free from his wife, who detests
even his name, and his present position
would be legitimized and his children
also. But it is not likely that he will
accept this means of freeing himself,
however dear this freedom may be- to
him. We are, however, watching the
result of Victor Hugo's proposition with
some interest

Clawed by q Centipedle.
Eureka (Cal.) Leader.l


Several Mexicans were in camp at (. g
mouth of Memphis Greek, U. T., az
were living about the fire when one OF
them, Telestro Cruca, saw large cent?
pedc, fully nine inches long, travelling
Slowly over his leg. Knowing that the
least motion would make it sink its
claws into his skin, without moving
his leg he got out his revolver and waited
until the insect had almost reached his
knee, when, slowly putting the mouth
of the pistol to its head, he pulled the
trigger and the ccntipedc was gone.
But a centipede's claws arc quicker
than gunpowder and Cruca began to
cramp in few minutes, the track of the
insect along his leg turned Il brownish
yellow and the place where it was
killed swelled up frightfully. Cruca
rapidly grew worse and in little over
four hours afterward he died in great
agony. But the most singular part of
the story is that the bullet from Cruca's S
revolver cuta small nick in the fore leg
of mule that was tcthered near by and
at daylight the next morning the mule
was also dead, with the leg so swollen
that the skin had burst in several
places

A Cat Story.
Portland Me J Transcrir,.l

A frst-rate cat story has come to our
notice from an entirely authentic
source. The scene is laid in the village
of Yarmouth. An aged gentleman and
his housekcepcr constitute the family,
and the good old cat finds the lines are
fallen to her in pleasant places. Family
prayers are the rule each evening in this
household, and the cat fell into the habit
of regular and punctual attendance.
No other of the cares that provcrbially
crowd cats life was ever allowed to
interfere with this religious duty. At
the signal for prayers. she would even
leave mouse half caught or give q
doomed bird a longer lease Of existence,
and dccorously compose herself in the
lap of the housckeeper with an air of
attention to service chat was highly
edifying. At the final "amen," she went
frisEily about her business. But in an
evil day there came a kitten that was
deemed superAuous, and sentence OF
death was passed uponit. The head of
the family undertook The execution OF
the sentence, and, unknown to HIM, the
cat was q witness TO the scene. From
that day the cat refused to attend service,
and can not now be induced to listen to
the PRAYERS of one who had so shocked
her scnsibilitics She faithfully per-
forms all other duties as before, and So
cially purrs for the family on all secular
occasions, but seems to say "let my re-
ligious hours alone"

Soil for Sugar Beets.

The beet requires deep, permcable
soil, for its roots penetrate deeply into
the ground and are abundantly supplied
with fine ibres through which it receives
its nourishment. If the soil does not
permit the root to grow down deeply the
top will be forced to grow above the
ground, and the crown which grows out
Of ground in nearly worthless for sugar
purposes. A deep, sandy loan is the
best soil to produce beets rich in sugar.
They will, however, grow on variety
of soils, and any soil which will plow
and subsoil to the depth of twelve or
fifteen inches is a good best soil. Avoid
all wet lands and muck bottoms as un-
suitable. Bcets will not flourish on wet
lands, and what grow are not sweet.
Muck bottoms produce large tops but
small roots with little sugar In them.

Cotton Seed Meal a. n Fertilizer.

The question OF the Use or cotton SEED
meal as fertilizer is an important one to
the planting interests of the South, and
opinions differ as to its value as a special
fertilizer, and why? Because We do not
know "what are the mutual chemical
and physical reactions of the various
kinds of soil on the different fertiI:zing
materials in general use" Where soils
are rich in available mineral plant food
and poor in nitrogen, then the use of
cotton seed meal will prove of marked
benefit.
Where the soils are deficient in phos-
pilates and potash, then if persisted in,
the application of cotton seed alone will
prove injurious. The reason is obvious,
as the meal contains about eight per
cent. nitrogen, and only three and three
quarters per cent. phosphate acid, and
two per cent. potash. From the above
it will be seen that cotton seed meal acts
as "a stimulant and frequently produces
large canes poor in sugar. At other
times it yields very rcmunerativc crops.
The advice of a celebrated chemist is,
compost cotton seed meal with finely
ground bones, potash and dry mould.
Allow.it to remain for about two months
and then apply to the soil, thereby ad-
ding the most important elements of
food in the most available form.
