he Death of General John Brisbin.

th1s morning.
 he Death Of General John Brisbfns To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 General Brisbin. of Newark, N. J., was among the first railroad lawyers in this coun- try, having been all his life prominent in the railroad movements of the East, commencing almost with the first railroad in the United States, which railroad, we believe, was built in New Jersey.
 It is well remembered of him that he draft ed the first, or nearly the first, contracts be- tween railroads which formed under those contracts extended lines, far beyond the line of any one railroad, thereby forming connec tions whereby freights and passengers could be transported between points distant from each other and connected by uniting the traffic of several and sometimes many railroads.
 As a man General Brisbin was noted for his clear perceptions of right and wrong, his keen appreciation of justice, and his unshrlnk- ing friendships.
 As lawyer he was known far and wide. His services as member of Congress when a citizen of Pennsylvania are not forgotten, And his aid in developing the coal resources of that State is well remembered by those familiar with coal interests For many years he has resided in Newark, where he died, and has been the leading counsel of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, and is said to have been the author of their numerous contracts with other railroads.
 Since the death of Mrs. Brisbin, her survi- vor has respected her memory and her devo- tion to her church, by aiding in small church finances and in large ones, giving his check for the whole.
 Among his many ways of blending pleasure with daily life, were his fine trotting horses, which, after more speedy pair had passed them, were no horses for him; therefore, another span would be substituted. He al ways kept coach with trusty pair of fam fly horses and driver, for the use of his wife as long as she lived, and did all he could to make their lives agreeable and happy.
 Many persons, recipients of his sympathy or money, will be pained to hear of his sick ness and death; indeed, the extent of his bounties when living will not come to light now that he is dead, nor could all be told, for SO much was done by almost daily generosity or charity, that none but the recipients ever knew of his thousands of generous acts, and among them who bless his memory may be included members of our own community.
 General Brisbin leaves large estate, with out. wife, child, brother sister to inherit it His will therefore, is looked for with great interest by the public

Waiting for the Verdict.

After the jury had retired the judges re- mained on the bench until shortly after six o'clock, when they retired for supper, leaving instructions with Deputy Sheriff Stevens that if the jury signified their readiness to come in before their return, that the sheriff notify them. Quiet reigned in and about the court room during the absence of the judges, and the crowd which had remained since the time the jury retired began to ''thin out, until there were but comparatively few persons re- maining.
 The reporters and others chatted with ''Jake" during the absence of the judges He seemed to be in good spirits, and said he thought the jury would disagree. He de- sired through the newspapers to return his 'fthanks to all his well wishers, both white and colored."
 At 7:45 there was rap at the jury room door. Sheriff Stevens answered the call, and moment later went to the judges room. The judges came out of their room and called MT. Blydenburgh and MT. Doolittle to them. Judge Loomis stated to the attorneys that the jury desired copy of the statute law on the different degrees of murder. The judges thought perhaps it was not best to send it to them, as they had been fully informed in regard to the law before retiring.
 MT. Doolittle said as the jurors were to be the judges of the law, he thought they should be permitted to see it if they SO de- sired.
 Judge Loomis said while there had been no ruling on this subject that he was aware of, yet he thought perhaps it was not best to adopt precedent of this kind.
 At 8:45 the judges held brief consulta- tion, and then Judge Loomis directed Sheriff Stevens to go to the jury room for the pur- pose. as wassupposed, of ascertaining if there was prospect of the jury agreeing upon a verdict. The sheriff returned in a moment and held whispered conversation with Judge Loomis. He again returned to the jury room door and invited them to enter the court room. This was done, and after the clerk had called the namesof the jurors he inquired if they had agreed upon verdict. Foreman Mattoon replied, 'sWe have not as yet"
 Judge Loomis said he was disposed to let the jury separate for the night and come in in the morning. He cautioned them not to talk on the subject of the trial and then excused them until o'clock this morning. He said

We suppose We shall say something on this
subject which some Of our hard working far
mers will take exception to, but we desire to
remark at the outset that no man whom the
cap does not readily fit is expected to put it
on. We are well aware that very large pro-
portion of Our farmers do not waste much
time in sitting around" but there are a
good many who do. much to the disadvan-
tage of their homesteads and the diminution
of their own comfort. 1t is safe to lay it
down as a rule that farmer who works hard
and constantly is the farmer whose premises
are most certain to be tidy, and whose home
has the most conyeniences 10th for mans
aud woman's work. But there is a large
class of small farms whose owners drift along
in shftless way, with shabby dooryards
implanted houses, rattly Outbuildings and
general dllapdHtion, who might change their
surroundings into neatneBs and order if they
would only take the time for it which they
now waste in sitting around" When i'm
provements are preached to this class of men
they always complain that they cannot afford
it. But this Is a mere subterfuge for laziness
and shiftlessness. One can clean up his door
yard, cut and pile his wood neatly, lay up the
fallen stones from beside his walls, cut the
brambles and bushes from the corners of his
home lots, and keep his trees and shrubs
neatly trimmed, without the expenditure of
anything but the time he now uses in sitting
around. Lead and oil, and glass and putty
cost money. But he is II very shiftess or
very unfortunate owner of set of small
buildings, who cannot, in these days. manage
to buy and pay for paint enough to keep
them in good order and putty and glass
enough to make his windows tight and tidy.
The labor can all be done in the time now
occupied in sitting around. Lime is cheap,
and anybody can make and apply whitewash.
The fences and outbuildings can readily be
made to look positively handsome with
fresh coat of whitewash once in while, and
it can all be done in the time now devoted to
sitting around. We shall not apologize for
the insinuations We have made. As we said
at the beginning, the cap can be donned only
by those whom it fits. There are enough of
these to warrant our little sermon. There is
but one decent excuse for sitting around 1t
is when one wants to peruse such sound prac-
teal wisdom as may be found in first class
family newspaper like-this one.-LOceH

Salt can never take the place of guano, bone
dust, and other commercial fertilizers, but it
is beneficial in making the existing fertility in
some soils Immediately available, and in draw
ing moisture from the atmosphere. 1t is also
excellent in destroying insects injurious to
vegetation. We once scattered some salt over
ground where potatoes were to be planted.
When the potatoes were dug in June, the
land was cleaned and narrowed and sowed to
purple-top turnips The salt seemed bene-
fetal to the potatoes, and doubly SO to the tur-
nips, which grew large and fine, entirely free
from any attacks of worms. 1t is becoming
customary to use barnyard manure, when thor
oughly rotten and made fine, as top-dressing
for wheat after the wheat has been drilled in.
We believe no better use can be made of barn
yard manure. But if bushel of salt was
thoroughly intermixed with every wagon-load
of such fine, rotten manure, we believe the
top.dressing given to the wheat land would
he found to be much more beneficial. Also,
if the same course was pursued in the top
dressing of meadows and pastures in the fall
it could not fail of being advantageous The
fine grass lands of England and Ireland are
made SO in part by their being exposed to the
salty breezes of the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Opinions differ as to the value of salt as a
fertilizer. Some high authorities consider it
utterly worthless, if not injurious; but most
experimenters believe it to be beneficial if not
applied in too large quantities. 1t is well
known that in large quantities it destroys
vegetation. A bushel to a wagon-load as
recommended above, strikes us as being a
pretty strong dose, if applied at the usual rate
of top-dressing. The best way to secure an
even distribution of salt is to dissolve it first
in water and then use dry earth to absorb
the brine. We have made an experiment
with salt applied in this way, with apparently
marked beneficial results

They have adopted the very clever idea in
England of having potato shows, taking the
ground that, rs this is the vegetable in most
common use, there is no reason why the ut
most care should not be given to its cultiva-
ton. The last exhibition was held at the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham, aud is said to
have been in every way a success. 1t is n lit
tie curious to watch the growth in use of this
vegetable. 1t is only about three centuries
ago that it was first introduced to Europe,
aud for n long time after that date the potato
ordinarily eaten was what we now call the
sweet potato. About 100 years later tho
white potato began to be extensively grown
in Ireland and in the Scotch highlands, but
it took quite a period after that before it
came into accepted use elsewhere in Europe.
Even now the French people use the vegeta-
BILE very sparingly. Its advantages as an ar
ticle of human food consist in the ease with
which it is raised rather than any intrinsic
merit that it possesses 1t is by no means as
nutritious as wheat, corn, rye or any of the
cereals, but an acre of ground planted with
potatoes will yield vastly more than if plant
ed with any other kind of food, and hence
potatoes can be sold at lower price than
food of other kinds There are, however,
two objections to its too general growth and
use. 1t is, at best, much more uncertain
crop than grain, and where a whole people
as has been the case in Ireand-place their
dependence upon it, it may almost any year
disappoint them, and leave them in absolute
restitution. The other objection is that its
continued use as food is not calculated to
produce high type of physical or mental
growth. 1t is admitted that the food we con-
sumo acts in certain little-understood ways in
the development of the human system and
experience indicates that those who are prod
igal caters of potatoes are not high types Of
of the race. These defects are, however, due
to an excessive use, and there is no reason for
thinking that it cannot be safely and advan-
tageously eaten in connection with other spe-
cipg of food

Women In the Northwest.

Bret Harte has written from Europe to q
friend in this country, that, seeing how wom-
en- abroad work in the fields, he thanks heav-
en- he lives in republic where there are men
enough to do that sort of labor. On which
the Chicago News says "He is right as to
the suthciency of men, but wrong as to the
supposition that they relieve the women. If
Mr. Harte could make a circuit of this city
within a radius of twenty miles, he would
see, in seed-time and harvest, in storm and
shine, in hot and cold weather, field after
field dotted with women doing the work of
men. He would see them ploughing, hoeing
wedding, sweeping the scythe through the
grass, raking hay, pitching of loads of fert-
lizing material, and, with stubborn purpose,
doing more and better work than the men
who employ them. The same sight is pre-
scented throughout the great Northwest. This
serves to show that the people who chiehyin-
habit the Northwest continue the customs of
the country from which they come.
