Charges against John
Sherman.

From the Times.
CLEVELAND, N ". 2l.-The story tele-
graphed To the Times from Columbus
that Gov. Foster paid the Chicago Con
ventiou hills that Warner NJ. B,tepan.
one of Sherman's managers, refused To
pay, excites,no wonder among the per-
sons who are acquainted with the inside
workings OF that Convention. The bills
we're presented to Gov. Foster after
Bstemin had left, and rather than have
any trouble tha, would cast discredis on
the State Of which he was Governor,
Mr.. Foster put his hand in his pocket
and paid the debt. He did so quietly
and without mentioning the fact excep,
to personal friends, who he knew would
not make it public, and it's present pub
licity has not come through him. The
plea OF the Sherman manager.when con
ferred With by others than Foster, was
that, as Sherman had not received the
nomination, he should not be held 10 q
payment of the bills. The course CT
Bateman all through the Convention was
one OF apparent distrust Of Foster, al
thongn large msjori'y of Sherman's
hest Oaio friends 10 that Convention
knew that Foster was ue. a1i that he
had tonorab.y done all that he could for
the Secretary. The publication of this
piece OF inside history at this time will
greatly mjure the Senatorial chance oil
Sherman in OHIO.

The pease, having been planted late,
and after the main ield crop had at.
tanned most of its growth, could not
interteresaud reproductive of any in
jury. They grew well, made fair
vines, and bore a fair crop OF fruit.
This experiment. proved completely
successful, and clearly demonstrated
that BY the application Of such a
system to the entire field, the soil
could be much improved, and the
yield of l cotton materially increased.
The considerable quantity OF vege-
table, matter that is rleitSo the land
by the pea vines not only adds to
the fertility of the SOIL but probably
is the only preventive against rust,
thatsI have been able to discover
l am satisfied that, by such
method, our farmers could manure
their. cotton lands much cheaper than
by, the purchase Of fertilizers. in
addition to the active benefit to the
succeeding years crop, there will be
also large quantity Of pease made,
which will afford valuable pasturage
for hogs during October, before the
corn fields are cleared OF their pro-
ducts and thrown open. 'fs
In order to utilize this system to
the utmost, the cotton rows should
not be less than tour feet apart; be.
cause, as ethe9land is improved by
this vegetable manuring, the cotton
plants will increase in size, and re,
quire more room, and it IS always
more beneficial to give space be-
tween the rows than between the
hills.

being q variety of seedless persim.
mon. l have no clear recollection OF
eating this variety in the northern

they have. But at Nagasaki, in the

was one of our delicacies of the sea-
son, a fruit not at all rare in the

simmons are all of the soft, pointed,
ovoidal kind. AS, according to OAR
winism, in some now tailless and
wingless creatures we can clearly

or wing had formerly been, or was
intended to be at one time or another,

soft, slightly elastic consistency, cas-.
lily severed by the teeth, and indeed
ratherpleasant to bite on. Of course,
now and then you may meet with q
stray seed even in the seedless per-
'simmon, but in these cases the pres
ence OF the seed must be considered
as a fault. -e1T 't' l''i

. Our orange trees are doing badly.
On this lower coast at least ten per
cent. of,the young trees annually die.
A disease, which we call sore skin.
begins at the base OF the trunks and
in short time turns the bark ard
leaves yellow, and the tree soon dies
unless the disease is discovered in
season and TIE affected part cut out.
The wound thus caused, will heal
over in year or two, but the very
next season the tree may be attacked
on the opposite side and dies in spite
OF all that can be done.

bud ding npon sohr stocks with great
success, The sour orange never has
sore Skin and If an orchard is budded
in this manner each tree will be of
the same age and every space will be
filled ! the expense of frequent re-
planting is avoided and, when in
bearing, there are no unproductive
portions OF the, orchard. Budded
trees bear much sooner than seed

Fish as Brain Food.

Since during the acts OF sensation

sumed in the brain and nervous sys.
tenn, there arises necessity to re-.
store the portions so consumed, or, as
the popular expression is, to use,
brain food. Now, as every one
knows, it is the property of phospho.
rous to shine IN the dark. and As
fish i'll certain stage Of putretactive
decay often emit light, or become
phosphorescent, il has been thought
that this is dueto the abundance Of
PHOSPHORUS their flesh contains, and
hence that they are eminentls suit.
able for the nourishment Of the
nervous system, and are an invalu.
able brain food. Under that idea
many persons resort to diet of fish.
and persuade themselves that they
derive advantage from it IN an in,

contains no excess OF PHOSPHORUS,
nor does shining depend OH that ele-
ment. Decaying willow wood shines
even more brilliantly than decaying
fish; it may sometimes be discerned
altar off at night. The shining in the
two cases is due to the same cause

phorus, in organic substances ccn7
