Should Adam Have O. Mon.
molt.

To the Editor of The Detroit Free
Press: i protest against the pro
posed erection of a monument to
Adam, az Elmira, N. Y.-or at any
other place. Adam does not deserve
a monument. He was not gentle
man: He had no manhood am
ashamed of Adam. blush to hear
that he claims to be a man.
II l meet Adam / don't intend To
speak TO him-even if he is kin to
me. Think of his coward speech :
The woman whom thou gavest to
be with me, she gave me of the tree.
He said this in the presence OF that
modest and frightened woman; and
when he was her only protector,
when he should have shielded her
at any sacrifice. Having betrayed
the trust his God had given him, he
tried to thrust the blame on I help
less woman; and force upon her the
punishment.
Benedict Arnold had courage; Ju
das Iscariot had conscience: but Ad,
am had neither. Let him be forgot
ten. At least let nothing be done
that seems an approval of his char
acter, by people so much: drawer,
and nobler, and more chivalrous
than he ever dared to be.

How Mississippi Treats Murderers.

'toN .h'NNlNHifli ilNNNH NiulNeTtIS.
From the New York Tribunc.l
With the acquittal of tho Gully brothers
yesterday the farce that has followed the
Chisholm tragedy closes. The verdict was
reached with the same indecent haste as in
the trial of Henry Gully last year. the jury not
even writing long enough to give their action
an appearance OF dclibcration. Virgil aud
Houston Gully, the brothers just acquitted
were not charged with the murder of
Judge Chisholm or of any Of his children,
but of John Gimcr, n stcadlast friend of
the family whose brutal murder was
the first committed on that dreadful
night which mas mado "the hest citizens Of
"Kcmpcr county" forever Infamous in Ameri
can history. Judge Chisholm, Gilmcr and
other republicans were charged on prepostcr.
Gus evidence with being parties to the murder
ofJohm Gully, an elder member of his cxtraOr-
dnary family of cutthroats. Judge CHS.
holm had been taken to the Jail, his wife and
children accompanying him, by an armed mob
who called themselves guards, but were only
awaiting tho word to begin their work Of
butchcry. Gilmer and others were to he ar
rested at another point. Mrs. Chisholm. in
her wonderful narrative, gives this account of
tho way his murder became known to the
solemn group sitting In the Jail and wondering
when MeiF lives were to be taken:
A. All at once guns began to fire. jumped
up and cried, "lhcy have killed GilIner and
Charlie" l knew II was about time for them to
come. Mr.. Chisholm said, "IcS. just murdered
because they were republic0ns-poJr boys" .
When the firing was over, Charlie" Ruseubuum
came in. never saw man look so still and quiet.
Mr.. Chisholm said, Where is Gilme2" Dead said
Charlie; "the worst shot man ever saw"
This was the way "tho best citizens of KEN.
per county" had of "arresting" II man ON Il
charge of murder the evidence being the
word offs negro, whom several relatives of the
Gully brothers said at tho time they would
not believe under oath, that lie thought
he saw somebody who looked like Ger.
tain person walking in direction which
seemed to indicate that lie had come from a
certain place. This Is not satire, but literal
htot. Then followed that hideous carnival of
blood, the story of which would he too pain
fu even to read were not tho picture relieved
by the wonderful hcroism of the Chisholm
children, the brave CorncIia, and johnny, the
fair boy. Tho ferOcity which butchcrcd these
noble children for the political opinions Of
their father could not be found, let us hope,
among any people who had not been brutal.
lied by slavery.
Not one man has ever suffered for the work
of that night. The press and the people of
that region vndicatcd tho assassus MS " tho
best citizens OF Kemper county, aud now the
last of them have been triumphant y acquitted
by their admiring ncighboIs. If the people
of the north conclude that II is not considered
Il crime in the south to kill republican,

Analysis of u Fertilizer.

An analysis of fertilizer, made at the de-
partment of agriculture for flrmer residing
in King George county, Virginia, developed
the fact that while it lacked n small percentage
Of the nutIitivo qualities claimed for it, yet it
would be considered a fair article. The fcrtili
ger in question was bought pretty largely of
in the same county, aud in every instance the
grain csop was lamen,ablc failure, though
large crops of grass were produced.
But do not farmers make the same mistake
in applying fertilizers to their soils that the
physician does IN giving his stereotypoa pre-
scripton to patient who fails to be benefited -?
Soils, like human constitutions, are varied.
The moisture, the ammonia, phosphorus, etc,
may be good for most soils but will they be of
benefit to all? Quinino has happy effect in
cradicatng malarial disease with u great por
tion Of human kind, but docs it do so in every
case? Experience teaches to the contrary
The fertilizer, which largely cnriches the soil
of ono farmer, may prove of the greatest
injury to u similar one less than fifty miles
away. When farming upon scientific princi.
pies it should be thoroughly understood-not
only tho material used, but also the soil upon
which it is used. Until the farmer is posted
in all this, he had better clnino himself to
the old remedies, lime, plaster and manure.
Aud then, too, he would not be So inattcntive
to the progress of his crops which the use Of
the fertilizer encourages the habit Of being.
