1Qef6 are OOOFydTOS III Guc fuldSo
here that for many years have produced
nothing but red-top and the small blue
grass, q dense, unfailing growth from year
to year, without manure; the soil a
deep, rich loan, partially shaded by
trees. The fertility is maintained by
the clippings. Whether manuring would
bring in white clover or other grasses,
or whether those now present would
thicken and maintain themselves, is an
interesting question. Were the soil
other than it is, there would doubtless
be q change, and if clay, the change
would be effected without manure. A
similar effect results by transferring sod
less if the sod is quite thick-for the
subsoil has an important influence upon
grass in our hot, dry. and changeable
climate. We see this effect strikingly
in open, permanent grass land, which
always has more or less wet subsOil-
less and less permanent as you advance
toward light, sandy condition. On
such moist, permanent grass land, a va
riety of grasses is usually found; never
all the grasses, whether foreign or ma
tive, oEly such as are adapted to moist
ground, having perpetually moist un-
dersoil to sustain them, the constant
evaporation keeping the plant cool, so
that the sun has less effect. Sod trans
ferred must, therefore, have similar soil
where laid, to continue the variety OF
grasses. If drier, the sod of drier soil
should be used.-COr. Country Gentle

BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Advices from Victoria.

VICTORIA, February 13th.-The fire at the
mine has burned through the roof in No. 3
stall, and is burning at a fearful rate in the
slaty strata above. Owing to the intense
heat and dense smoke it is impossible to as
certain the extent of the fire, or the direction
in which it is travelling. The fire engine,
however, is kept constantly at work day and
night, but owing to the peculiar position of
the fire the streams can only be sent up among
the flames at intervals. Some incline to the
opinion that the fire has struck a
''pocket of coal :" others that the seams
have split, and that the fire is now in
another seam Of coal; others again favor the
idea that it is the slaty strata above the
roof that is on fire, that it is almost impos-
sible to state the exact nature of the fire. for
nearly every person working in the mine has
a different opinion from his fellow-workmen.
One thing is certain, the fire is raging, and
besides causing a heavy daily expenditure of
funds is causing great anxiety to the officers
of the company and citizens generally.
The Indian who thirty years ago discovered
the Nanaimo coal fields died recently at that
place.
The Wellington colliers are turning out
900 tons of coal daily.
Frazer river continues closed to navigation.
The weather is clear and pleasant.
The ship Spartan on the 9th of January
experienced severe shock OF earthquake in

which shook the ship feerfu'ly. The barom-
eter fell to 2S.60 and the wind blew heavily
for eight hours.

THE SPEAKERS RULING.

The Speaker of the Assembly has again
been compelled to undergo an assault upon
his position that bill cannot be taken up
out of its order except under suspension of
the rules, ordered by two-thirds vote.
Considered wholly independent of all the
outside issues involved in the contest, or
the desirableness of the end sought to be
attained by either side, there can be no
question that as parliamentary ruling
the decision of the Speaker is invulnerable.
Whoever, in the face of the well-settled
law, and the sound reason for it, holds to
the contrary, either exposes his ignorance
of parliamentary rules and the principles
upon which they rest, or oonfesses his
willingness to wantonly violate the law TO
gain temporary advantage.

TEE STATE LIBRARY STRUGGLE.

Nothing could demonstrate the mis-
chievous effects of Blind partisanship upon
public affairs more clearly than the struggle
which Las been going on for weeks over
the position Of State Librarian. The office
which IS the object of attack is one which has
no legitimate connection with politics. 1t is
evident that it ought to be held by some
man OF positive and undoubted literary
a5taiuments and culture. Wherever intel
igent selection governs the bestowal of
such appointments they have always been
given to men whose fitness was obvious
and beyond dispute. The only work of
any value to the State which a State
Librarian can accomplish is work of a kind
utterly beyond the reach of mere poll
tIcian. The accumulation OF books at the
Capitol can never be much more than
blind and unguided heaping up of hetero.
geneous publications, without method, aim
Or use, unless Che Librarian is possessed
of sound and genuine literary attain
ments. But the kind of man who alone
ought to be named or thought of in con.
nection with such an office cannot be in
duced to plunge into the ignoble scramble
OF political contest for the position, and
the machinery by which the appointment
IS made appears to have been almost
expressly devised for the exclusion of really
qualified candidates. We see partisans
meeting solemnly in caucus, and heatedly
opposing or favoring candidates on the
ground of their political preferences. We
see legislators who regard themselves as
enlightened, excitedly declaring that they
will not vote for suchand- such man be-
cause they believe him to be Democrat.
And IN all this hubbub and wrangle of con-
Aieting claims we perceive no indication of
even the faintest perception of the require
ments Of the Office or any concern what
ever as to the real qualifications Of the ap-
plicauts, The latter may know no more
about books than the average ward politi-
clan. They may never have enjoyed
further education than the common schools
afford. Literature may be a complete
blank to them. But of such considerations
legislators take no heed The one impor.
tant question with them is as to the polit-
ical affiliations of the candidates. We say
that this is discreditable, degrading, and
fragrant burlesque upon the intelligent and
rational transaction of the public business.
We say that the Legislature does not man.
ifest common intelligence in its methods of
selecting State Librarian. And we de.
iberately affirm that if this outrageous
system of filling non-political offices is to
be kept up, it will be wiser for the State to
sell off its Library by auction, and aban-
don the whole business, than to 90 any
further in this direction.

FERNANDO WOOD.

Fernando Wood is dead. He was a
politician of the Boss type, stained with
corruption, but maintaining his position, as
many of his fellows have done, by his
capacity for organizing and holding well in
hand the baser elements of political life
His origin was such as to render it in the
last degree improbable that he would ever
essay the role of reformer. but he did it,
and he clung to it longer than was to have
been expected. He was man of con-
siderable force of character. very keen
partisan, for years the idol of the slums of
New York, and an efficient party leader in
Congress, where he sat for half a life
time with persistence rarely attained by
a higher class of statesmen. His death
makes no gap which cannot be better filed,
and his history serves only to mark courses
of action which ought to be avoided.

DUBLIN, February 15th.-The Lord Lieu
tenant Of Ireland, speaking at the Lord
Mayors banquet tonight, said that though
the persons receiving indoor relief were fewer
than at the same time last year, the number
receiving outdoor relief was greater. Whether
the present calm was the beginning of perma-
nent peace, or whether sharp struggle was
before them, what had happened was full Of
grave meaning. 1t showed that below the
apparent smoothness there was a certain
amount of mischief lurking. It was very
serious matter that a comparatively small
body of men should be enabled to establish
such tremendous influence throughout the
country in so short time.

The people are in terror. There are about

and they are scattered along The border in
bands from 10 to 20, and all cooperate. The
Mexicans are arming themselves to punish
these invaders. They will not allow an
American to cross the line along the
localities OF these ranches, as they are un-
able to distinguish between good and bad
Americans. They claim that the depreda-
tions of the Apaches was not half 50 de-
structive as the work of the cow boys. A
prominent Mexican rancher arrived In this
city to-day with a view Of purchasing twenty
stands of arms to defend his property. He
stated that if something is not done by the
American Government to prevent these
American marauders from invading their
homes, serious complications must very soon
arise. 1t appears that these cattle thieves
are largely made up of the same bands who
gave so much trouble on the Rio Graude for
years past. The cattle men of southeastern
