FARM NOTES
Dry WEATHER TRouBLE.-Ths

Dry WEATHER TRoUBLE.-The
dry weather the past summer has SO
interfered with the growth of vegeta-
ton, that the country housekeeper
who has no market at hand where
supplies can be obtained that come
from moister localities than ours y
considerably at loss to know what
to do about it. In some sections of
our country gardens are literally dried
up. Beans have dried in the pods,
tomatoes have blighted, corn is con-
spicuous for its absence, cabbage
which never grew is riddled with
worms, and cucumbers are nowhere.
That is about the present state of
these standard vegetables that we
have been accustomed, heretofore,
at this season Of the year, to have in
such unlimited abundance. The
season seems to have been favorable
for nothing but plums and pears, and
these are mostly small, though in
great quantities, trees that never bore
before, are bearing profusely now.
The housekeepers' resources are SO
cut down that dinner getting has
become problem of unknown and
doubtful quantities. Apple dump
lings, puddings and such, will enter
hugely into our bills of fare. Plums
are plenty and make delightful pies,
jams, and sauce, and are handy to
put up for winter use /; but don't
torment yourself, dear woman, in
trying to can them whole. Every
plum is a miniature Vesuvious, and
when heated to the centre is bound to
overflow. Picking with pointed
instruments will not save them, par.
ing is no good, nothingthat we know
of but standing some hours in syrup
Of melted sugar will preserve them in
shape, and that Injuries the favor and
shrivels them up. We have more
than once disturbed our amiability
and wasted time in frantic efforts to
do the impossible, and at last had to
retire vanqqished and now our
advice is for plums and other things,
that the easiest way is the best

The MARL PRS OF NEW JERSEY.
From four to twenty feet below the
surface, throughout great portion Of
this alluvial district, is species Of
greenish blue earth, mixed with shells
and known as mari. The essential
ingredients Of this kind of earth is
lime, and its value as a manure
depends on the proportion of calcare-
Gus matter which it contains. When
this abounds in connection with sand
only, il produces indurated mari, clas-
sed with the limestones, and frequent
y forming beautiful and valuable
marble. None Of this type has been
found in the mari beds Of this district.
Shell lime, similar to that in the
alluvian of North Carolina, Georgia
and Mississippi, has been discovered
in many places. 1t is burned for
lime on the Rancocas creek, between
Esyrestown and Vincsntown. The
Jersey marls are principally the
shells, clay and stone species. The
fret is composed Of testaceous matter
In various quantities and degrees of
combination, and sometimes it CON-
tains bones Of land and marine
animals, such 40 bones Of the rhinoc-
erous, elephant teeth, deer horns,
bones Of the whale, shark teeth,
entire skeletons Of fish, together with
graphites, belemnites and various shell
6sh. United with cAlcareous sub.
stances, the clay gives name to the
second sort, which absorbs and retains
moisture better than the other kinds,
varying in color, being brown, blue,
red and yellow. In the third species
sand Is combined with calcareous and
argillaceous matter, giving hardness
proportionate to quantity. Where it
Il thin and of liminar structure it is
called slate mari. All these species
are softened by water, according to
the amount Of clay they contain, and
when exposed to the atmosphere
gradually crumbls into powder. All
marls effervesce with acids, in CON.
sequence Of their calcareous princis
pies. These marls on an average
present the following analysis: slick

potash 1912, water $50, protoxide
Of iron 81 So, loss $1,000 grains.
Mari is also found Of a yellow brown
color, friable or compact, and filed
with minute particles Of silicste of
iron. Some Of the green varieties
are very compact, rendering il very
difficult to separate the fossils from
their matrix. Mica, in fine scales, is
sometimes found in the friable blue
marls.

< Senate in Disgrace.

Last week the Senate saloon, owned by Newlands & Calder, was attached by D. J. Bolyn for money loaned, and Dep uty Sheriff Geo. B. Shepard was placed in charge as receiver. There being no hope of compromise, the place was closed on Saturday and an official in- ventOry of stock was taken, when 1t was discovered that barrels that were supposed to be full of liquor contained nothing but foul and stag Dant water, and even a majority of the bottles upon the shelves contain ed colored water that had the appear ance of liquors. The saloon contained but very small quantity of stOck-not enough to satisfy the demand of BOlyn. It transpired that the firm was also larg- ly indebted to Wm. B. Hooper X Co.,, to parties in San Francisco, and t. J. McC. Elliott in the sum of S750, money bor- rowed when the business was establish cd few months ago, and many other bills. the aggregate indebtedness amounting to over 5000. Matters look ed very bad, and there were some thoughts of having W. |. Newlands, the managing partner, arrested, but 1t was discovered later that he had left without saying goodbye to any one. MT. New lands has held responsible positions on the Comstock and his integrity was un- questioned until now. His crooked ac- tions while here are greatly to be de plored.

 Upon this and the consequent detri- ment to the Company's prospects result ing from such public denunciation, the Calabasas company promptly brought suit for damages III the sum of S1G0,0O0. The plaintiffs are represented by Messrs. Hayne and Lucas, Campbell < Robinson, and Judge J. B. Southard, and the de- fendants by Messrs. Morgan, Silent and Stevens.
 Considerable interest Is manifested in the trial, and the courtroom was filled with spectators.
 Considerable time was spent in the selection of jury, which stood at the first drawing as follows: Chas. Ray, J. W. Davis, W. N. Osborn, w. J. White, John Spring, J.McC Elliott,J. Goldberg, w. Richardson, J. H. Turner, J. l.. Mus ick, J. w. Patterson, and H. Schabur. As finally accepted and sworn, 1t was composed of the following members: J. w. Davis, W. N. Osborn, w. J. White, J.Spring, J.AIcC Elliott, JL. Musick, E. LongbottOm, T. McClary, A. P. Peter, rhos. Warner, J. Fl. Walcott and A. Mercer.
 Judge Haynes made the opening state ment to the jury, giving the entire his tory of the formation, incorporation and progress of the Calabasas company from the tune of its inception in 1877 to the present time. Mir. Stevens followed in a statement for the defense, which was lengthy and exceedingly bitter reflection upon the Calabasas company, so much so that 1t was necessary for the Judge to frequently restrain the ardOr of the coun- sel
 At the-conclusion of his statement the Court was adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock.
 This mornings proceedings:-To-iay being law day, much time was consumed in motions and arguments, and the case was not reached until 10 a. m.
 The plaintiffs opened by offering cer- tain depositinOs asevidence in their favor, which was objected to by defendants counsel, and a lengthy argument was had as to aGmisssion of the depOsitions. The argument was still In progress at the hour of going to press.

A Nights Journey.

Mir. NJ. J. Sullivan, the carpenter, was coming mp from Calabasas last Wednes- day, and being anxious to reach Tucson the next day, left Browns station after dark, intending to make this city by day light. Being tired and worn out he dropped asleep somewhere on the route, and the horses took q go-as-you-please gait and go-where-you-please route. Towards the latter portion of the night MI. Sullivan was suddenly awakened from happy dreams of profitable con- tracts by finding himself unceremoni- ously tumbled into ditch. Realizing his unfortunate predicament he sought the cause of his troubles, and found that the team had wandered off the road and ran into ditch, breaking single-tree. He eItricated the buggy and concluded to await daylight to complete his jour ney, and laid down to sleep. Upon awak- ening he was very much distressed to fin1 that he was but few hundred yards from Browns station-his starting point While sleeping, his horses had turned about and made their way nearly to the station. Mir. Sullivan was badly bruised about the face, arms and legs, by his fall, but no bones were broken.

FROM present appearances 1t would seem that Indian Agent Stephens, who is stationed at keshena, Wisconsin, for the purpose of looking after the hundred or so red men at that point, would adorn the walks of private life with more bril- hancy than he does the public service. Because the superannuated and spav- ined sons of the forest under his charge persisted in indulging in a dream dance" contrary to orders, Mir. Stephens started with seventy-five men to make himself ridiculous, and achieved a de- cided success. The Indians were quiet enough, but some squaws started after the valiant Stephens, and he left the country in great haste, taking his family with him. If there had been any trou- ble and the settlers at Keshena had sui fered, Mir. Stephens would have been something very like an accessory before the fact, because it Is the duty of an h. dian Agent to act as the representative of the government, and not to take to the woods at the first sign of danger. Fortunately all the scalping and house burning was confined to the vivid imag- ination of Stephens, but for fear the services of a real agent might be wanted some time at Keshena, Secretary Kirk wood might drop the ornamental indi- vidual now holding the position and put a man in hls place.-FChicago Tribune.

TIE New York Times, of September 20, gives the following item, which has a Q local interest here:
 The suit for the value of mining ma chinery was brought by Charles D. Pos ton against Charles H. Lord, in the Su- periOr Court, II years ago. No appear ance in the action was put Tn by Mir. Lord, but Mir. Poston did not press 1t tO an issue until several months ago, when he entered a judgment for S266,OOO against Mir. Lord. A motion to vacate this judgment was made in behalf of Mir. Lord before Judge Van Worst, in Superior Court Chambers yesterday. It was also moved that the action be declared void from the first. The mo- tions were based upon affidavits avering that Mir. Lord was led by the represen- tations of the plaintiff, or his attorney, to avoid putting in an appearance It was also shown that while the summons in the case contained notice that the complaint would be filed in the office of the County Clerk, the document was not filed there, nor in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, the proper place for t. Judge Van Worst said the law would not tolerate the judgment He reserved his decision upon the motion to declare the suit void and upon an ap- plication for costs against Mir. POstOn-

IN justice to Mir. Wm. c. Calder, it IS proper to state that he shares none of the blame for the alleged crookedness in the late firm of Newlands & Calder, as the whole business responsibility was left entirely to the senior partner. During his residence in Tucson Mir. Calder has shown himself always to be the same open-hearted, good-natured gentleman that his older acquaintances have al- ways found him to be, and if circum- stances pointed far more strongly to his comphcity in the matter it would scarce ly be credited.

He says: "I took in the Methodist fiesta this evening, and got an broken into smithereens with the gorgeous feminine element that did there abound. One of two facts is evident: Either your correspondent has the gen. eral appearance Of a Sunday School out fit, and hence recommends himself; or the true courtesy of perfect gentleman is characteristic of the person in charge of that entertainment, in that he sought us out, a stranger, and offered to intro- duce us to some of his fair congregation.

A Deserved Tribute,

In his introduction to the reports of the United States Commissioners to the Paris Universal Exposition of 1878, ex- Secretary Evarts pays the following compliment to Hon. R. c. Mccormick, the Commissioner-Genera The labor of planning and directing our representa- tion at the Exposition rested upon the Commissioner-General, who accepted the responsibility at the special request of President Hayes. It is a pleasant duty to say that the arduous trust de volved on Mir. Mccormick was not only fulfilled with exemplary diligence, abil- ity and zeal, but that it was due to his personal exertiOn that almost insur- mountable difficulties were overcome, and that the credit of the people of the United States, as exhibitors, was not only maintained, but greatly advanced.
