Preparation Of Tobacco Plant-beds.

ID C. Watkins in Southern Planter and Farmer.
In reply to your inquiries, l will
say, I usually select a moist piece of
woodland, remote from any field, and
in the month Of January prepare my
main bed by Fraking off the leaves
and burning the land moderately
hard, after which / rake over the
burnt land with 4iand rakes to dis
tribute the ashes and Goals as evenly
as possible, and remove any chips or
litter that may have been LETT on the
land. Iqthen chop and rerhopy the
bed very lightly with wedding hoes
not over 0two- inchesb deep Or not
deeper than the black mould or hui
mus, grubbing nothing but the small
est bushes, and getting up only the
roots on the immediate surface, after
which l rake fine and sow at the
rate of one tablespoonful OF seed to
the hundred square yards, mixed
with, guano and sown together, after
which / rake lightly or whip in with

much better, as it takes much less

would to make six or eight inches OF

less apt to become hard from repeat

DECISION OF GENERAL INTEREST.
National Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON D. c., April 6.-The follow
ing decision was rendered in the Supreme
Court to-day: Alexander g. Bowditch,
ETC.. vs.. City of Boston. Justice Swayne
delivered an opinion offering the decision
of the United States Circuit Court for
Massachusetts, Plaintiff, who was As
signee in Bankruptcy Of Chas. H. Hail.
sued the city to recover the value
of seventy thousand dollars of building and
contents blown up to arrest the progress of
the great fire in Boston in 1872. Under
State laws if such act was done by order of
three fire engineers after consultation and
sufficed to arrest the fire the owner could
recover from the city. In this case Gen
eral Burt, City Postmaster, blew the build
ing up, acting on general orders from the
Chief Engineer. The Court below
decided against the claim on the ground
that the act was not done in accordance
with statute and though it saved greater
destruction of property including new city
postoffice plaintiff could notrecover. This
court held as there was no common law
remedy StaAwstatute was only conditional
benefit conferred in certain cases and
plaintiffs not being one he could not claim
damages. -...4

Rum0r That Tilden Will Retire in His
Favor.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New York, April 6.-The Star, John
Kelly's paper, prints special to-day from
its Washington correspondent, who says
he has the most positive and trustworthy
assurances that Samuel J. Tilden has vir-
tually retired from the Presidential race,
although the announcement Of the fact is
deferred for the present. 1t appears that
the reason given for Tilden's retirement is
ill health. He is reported to have con-
cluded to ask his friends to quietly consol-
idate their strength in favor of Henry B.
Payne. of Ohio.
THE INTIMATE FRIEND STEPS IN.
New YORK, April 6-Tilden declines to
be interviewed regarding the.story in the
Star to-day that his physician had peremp,
torily ordered him to refrain from the ex-
citement of campaign or his life would
be the forfeit.
An intimate friend stated that the story
was absolutely false, and that Tlden had
done more brain-work during the past
month in connection with his income tax
suit than for 4 long time before.
The same person said if the Republicans
nominated Grant and Blaine, Tilden would
surely be the Democratic candidate, and
Payne probably be given second place upon
the ticket In case of Washburne's NOM
ifation by the Republicans, Payne stands
good chance of securing the Democratic
candidacy.
