DIR. Atwater, with regard to con.
troverted point, says; "Tbe prevailing
opinion among agricultural chemists
for some time, and one which have
shared, has been that plants get nearly
all their nitrogen from the soil and
extremely little from the air. But
there are many facts which are very
hard TO explain on this theory, and !
am, with many others, coming strong.
ly to suspect that plants do get con.
siderable nitrogen from the air"

WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS

There's no doubt about it that Robin
son was good fellow at heart, and
meant we'll; but it's astonishing what
an amount of trouble a man may bring
upon himself by undertaking too much
for his fellow-c creatures. l don't sup
pose there was another man in our store
that took the interest Robinson did in
the different wardrobes of his fellow
clerks II man got new hat Robin
son noticed it right away; wanted to
know where it was bought, when and
why, and generally concluded by say
ing that if the purchaser had consulted
i'm he might have made better bar
gain. And I've no doubt he would.
Robinson would have made it point to
favor him with his influence and expe-
rience, both of which were considerable.
The same way with coats, or pants, or
boots, or anything! But, notwithstand-
ing all this, very few of our boys con-
suited Robinson in these matters; they
generally bought their articles with a
reckless indiscrimination that was pain
full to a man constituted as Robinson
was. It seemed hard, when man took
the interest in his fellow-creatures that
Robinson did, that his motives should
be misconstrued and unappreciated. I
remember when I bought that new I'LL
ster of mine, disliked, for some reason
or other, to see Robinson. [ had a
ridiculous aversion to telling him just
where I got it, and when, and how much
II cost, and what I did with the other
one. It was a kindly sympathy on
Robinson's part, there's no doubt about
that; but it was wasted, SO far as our
BOYS were concerned.
"Why don't the fellow mind his own
business % they said. What does he
want to manage other peoples concerns
for?''
SoIwas glad when he ldme, confiden-
tally, that he was about to be married.
I felt then that his interest would be
so absorbed in the one object that it
would be impossible to diffuse it all
over the universe.
Robinson seemed to have found a
treasure. Of course everybody thinks
so but I knew that Robinson would
know more, and see more, and be less
likely to be deceived, than other men,
and he had, as I supposed, gained the
confidence of the family into which he
proposed to marry. was afraid his
projected mother-in-law might object to
some of Robinson's ways, but he told
me he got on with her splendldiy. l
thought she was remarkable woman,
not altogether because she got On 50
we'll with Robinson, but from Robin
sons conversation imagined she must
be very clever.

Mexican Homes.

The Mexican ladies, writes a CORE
spondent, are the most lovable, charm
ing. amiable women in the world, and
domestic life in this country is worthy
the admiration of our people, and might
be initiated by Americans. AS there are
no summer or winter resorts, families
are not separated three or four months
of each year. The mother does not
urge her daughter to excel in the art Of
dress for the purpose of attracting
attention or catching male butterflies
Tie fashionable hotel or boarding house
that pest, that curse of our lands,
happily, unknown here. Each young
couple. when they marry, settle down
in their own little house, however
humble it may be, and their children
are brought up in the pure sunlight of
home. There are more marriages "for
love" here than in France and Spain
combined. Cupid holds frmer sway
than Plutus. | admit that Mexican
girls ought to have more solid, liberal
education than they generally receive.
Not that it is at all necessary for them
to puzzle their brains over Euclid and
the exact sciences, but they ought to
burn their embroidery frames, stop
making wax flowers ian absurdity in
this beautiful, fertile land), and study
modern history, natural philosophy and
mark the present course OF events, and
take some interest in the political
status of the world. In the higher class
the ladies are generally accomplished,
are good linguists and excellent must
clans, but the great middle classes seem
to have no higher ambition for the..-'
daughters than to have them taught to
read, write and sew. The fragile forms,
sallow compilations, and the listlessness
we observe among them, are mainly due
to their eternal stitching and want OF
exercise. Progress.

The Dead Child and the Mocking. Bird

1.-The following poem is in no sense a mere
fancy On the contrary, the strange. pathetic
incident 1t commentaries actually occurred
not ,t long ago IN the neighborhood of Jackson
vile, Florida.l ''>A'0-''
Once, in land of balm and flowers,
Of rich fruit-laden trees,
Where the wild wreaths from jasmine bowers
Trail Ger Floridian seas,
We marked our Jeannie's footsteps run
Athwart the twinkling glade;
She seemed Hebe in the sun,
Dryad in the shade.
And all day long her winsome song,
Her trebles and soft trills,
Would wave-like flow, or silvery low
Die down the whispering rills
One morn midmost the foliage dim
dark gray pinion stirs;
And bark along the vine-clad limb
What strange voice blends with hers?
1t blends with hers, which soon is stilled-
Drawer the mock birds note
Than all the strains that ever filled
The queenliest human throat
AS JEANNE heard she loved the bird
And sought thenceforth to share
With her new favorite, dawn by dawn,
Her daintiest morning cheer
Bat ali +! blight beyond our ken,
From some far feverous wild,
Brought that dark Shadow feared of men
Across the fated child.
1t chilled her dropping curls of brown,
1t dimmed her violet eyes,
And like an awful cloud crept down
From vague, mysterious Skies
1t last one dayou JEANNE lay
All pulseless, pale, forlorn;
The sole sweet breath on lips of death
The futtering breath of morn;
When just beyond the o'er-curtained room
(How tender, yet how strongD
Rose through the misty morning gloom
The mock-b birds sudden song
Dear Christ those notes of golden peal
Seem caught from heavenly spheres,
Yet through their marvellous cadence steal
Tones soft as chastened tears.
Is it an angels voice that throbs
Within the brown birds breast,
Whose rhythmic magic scars OF sobs
Above our darling's rest?
The fancy passed-but came once more
When, stolen from Jeannie's bed,
That eve, along the porchway floor
found our minstrel-dead
The fire of that transcendent strain
His life-chords burned apart,
And, merged in sorrows earthlier pain,
1t broke the o'erladen heart.
Maiden and bird the self-same grave
Their welded dust shall keep,
While the long low Floridian wave
Means around their place of sleep.

An Interrogatory.

To the Editor of The HERALD:
DALLAS, December 5.--As reader of
your valuable journal, we note much in its
columns to admire, that has the true ring
Of patriotism, of progress and reform.
Yet, while we admire this, there are some
positions taken which we fail to reconcile
with the idea of independent journalism.
The case before us seems to bear out this
statement, in your editorial, issue of De-
cember I'd, What Will lie Do With It?"-
the 100000, 900 now in the United States
Treasury, over and above the necessary ex.
penditure for the year The HERALD says
truly That he need not take much time to
determine this matter" Yet the HERALD
deyotes about half Il column, in labored
roundabout way, i'll suggestions how to
dispose of this fund, and, to our mind op-
poses the only common sense method to
appropriate the fund. The HERALD, in
substance, or in a nutshell, would recon-
mend amending or reducing the tariff,
thereby lcssening indirect taxation. This
Indirect taxation is the only way now we
have OF reaching the bondholder. Labor
had better submit to the present tariffs,
and hold good the present surplus
revenue it 1t can be applied to the can
NNliHNlNi VI = lllNOd,p NdltS bpuus,Ullu convert
this vast amount Of dead capital to activity
and make it subject to taxation, and thus
relieve the Industries of the country from an
enormous tax to aid in Building up a
worthless class of shoddy, non-producing
aristocracy But what is the reason given
by the Herald for not using this surplus to
cancel bonds? Because we were doing all
the present and future could demand of us
in this particular" Is it a fact that we are
doing all that can be demanded of us in
paying our public debt, with idle money
in our treasury that is counted by the
hundred millions. We know the HERALD
can not afford to risk its reputation on such
transparent answer rs the above. 1t
looks very much TO us that the HERALD is
influenced by a partisan feeling in this
matter-that to follow the dictation of
reason on this point would subject it to
criticism and loss of patronage from the
money interests of the country. If this
is not the cause, please give us better rea-
sons for your positions on this bond ques.
tion. We say without any qualification
that we are in favor OF using all the idle
money now, and as fast as 1t accumulates
in the United States Treasury for cancel
ing the bonds. We will make that issue
with the HERALD if it will allow us one
fourth the space in its columns to review
what it may offer on the subject.
P. CoNIvER.
