EnrichinR Poor Lands.

There are three principal methods Of
rapidly increasing the supply of plant
food in any soil. BY feeding concentra-
ted foods upon the land, as oil-cake,
cottonseed-calSe, etc; by the application
of barnyard manure, and the use of arti-
fetal fertilizers. Which of these three
methods is to be adopted in any given
case must be determined by the many
conditions and circumstances that sur
round it. 1t may be that the feeding of
sheep with decorticated cotton-seed cake
upon poor pasture may be the quickest
and best method of enriching the land.
In other cases the purchase and applica-
ton of barnyard manure may be the
most profitable. When it comes to the
artificial fertilizers, it should be borne
in mind that their true Office is to supply
quickly one or two ingredients that may
be deficient in the soil-when these are
known their use is to be recommended

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, in giving
some of the results Of her housekeeping
experience, remarks that neither soap,
hot water nor brush should ever be used
on oil-cloth. 1t should always be washed
in lukewarm water with piece of soft
old flannel and wiped perfectly dry each
time. And the appearance of the cloth,
Mrs Beecher declares, is greatly i'm
proved by using half milk and half
water, skim-milk, if not sour, being just
as good as new milk.

FACTs AND COlElrENTS

America is wisely devoting increased
attention to her fishing interests, both
in inland waters and on the sea. I'm
mense wealth will be derived from these
sources. With the exception of the
Norwegian herring fishery, the herring
fishery of Scotland is the most import
ant in Europe, representing a money
value of $4,000, 900 per annum. An
Edinburg journal states that the
annual value of the herrings brought
into the stations on the coast of Aber-
deem alone is equal to the whole rental
of the country.

The fish commissioners of Maine have
adopted very interesting method of
testing the long-established scientific
belief that fish return from the ocean to
the streams in which they are Matched.
They have labeled with light, indestruct-
ible metal tags several hundred
salmon, which they have turned loose in
the Penobscot river. Each fish is num-
bered and recorded. The commission
e1s now ask whoever catches labeled
salmon in any waters of the State to
forward to them the fish, for which they
will pay an extra price, or else to. for
ward the label and whatever they know
about the fish that wore it.

The influence of the village improve
meet societies, of which the germ was
planted in Stockbridge, Mass, about
forty years ago, and which have done
much within recent years to beautify
New England towns, has extended be-
yond the Rocky mountains, and bids
fair to bring forth good fruit where there
is sore need of such harvest. The
small towns of California present a dis
tressing appearance. They were built,
for the most part, literally at railroad
speed, and dry climate and dusty
soil have gone far to destroy whatever
sightliness they may have ever rpossessed;
but they are not beyond the help of i'm
provement societies. A citizen of Berke-
ley has offered prize of $40 for the
best hedge, other than cypress, grown
in front of any village lot, and societies
have been established in several towns.
The newspapers have taken up the sub
iect, and there is reason to believe that
local pride may be so stimulated as to
work an amazing change throughout the
State.

A short time ago scheme to reclaim
the everglades of Florida was an
nounced, but there were no details of
the proposed plan, and it was regarded
by many as the visionary project of
some Colonel Sellers in real life. But
the Philadelphia papers have given an
Ineligible account Of the under
taking, which is in the hands of
Philadelphia company to be known as
the Atlantic and East Coast Canal and
Okechobee land company. Florida owns
the land by United States patent, the
State Legislature has granted charter,
and the sum of $4,000 has been de-
posted with the State treasurer as q
guarantee. The plan, as it is described in
the Philadelphia papers, is as follow: The
company will dig canal ten miles long,
from Lake Okechobee to the head waters
of the Caloosahatchie river. The river
flows into the Gulf of Mexico, and its
mouth is, according to the surveys made
by Colonel Meigs of the United States
coast survey, and General .Gillmore
twenty-three and half feet lower thar
lake Okechobee. The work of the en-
gineers is simply to drain the lake suffi
GENTLY to prevent its overflow. 1t il
this overflow which causes the ever
| glades to be submerged with water, the
! lake having no natural outlet. The ever
! glades are surrounded by limeston;
| ridge, which acts as dam to the water, ,anC
after the overflow of the lake it can onl,
disappear by evaporation, which, o
course, is a slow process. The grounC
is consequently almost continually unde
water. If the canal above mentioned
does not sufficiently drain Lake Oke
chobee to prevent its overflow anothe
canal will be cut to the st. Lucie river
Twelve miles long, which will carry tn,
water into the Atlantic ocean. TIL,
mouth of the ST. Lucie river is twenty
five feet lower than the basin of LAX
Okechobee. All this looks very feas
ible on paper says the New York Tri
J,ale, and in these days it is rash to pre-
dict failure for any engineering enter
prise, however novel and gigantic.

This significant remark is made by
the London Echo: While Italy is
accumulating deficit; while Austria is
bending under deficit; while Spain can
scarcely make both ends meet, and while
the alleged improvement of the financial
condition of Prussia has proved to be
illusory-to say nothing of Russia-it is
worthy of notice that Switzerland, as she
has done for ages, maintains in govern
ment matters the even tenor of her way;
that France, under the republic, feels
no financial strain, and that the United
States, the greatest republic of all, is
going forward to prosperity by leaps and
bounds" This would indicate that re-
publican institutions are a striking sue
cess from a business point of view on
both sides of the sea.

The fall term of the college opened yester-
day under very favorable auspices. The
freshman class contains ffty-three members,
forty-six of whom are now present. Besides
the members of the freshman class, there have
been several additions TO the upper classes
from different colleges.
During the summer vacation many change
have taken place here; we notice particularly
the repairs about the dormitories and reading
room and the progress in the work on Memo
rial Hall.

former under Prof. Smith, the latter under

suffer much in consequence of the loss of their
support in 'S1 but we think on the contrary
that they will be as well sustained if not bet

Yesterday was an extraordinary cold day for
the season. All through Tuesday night the
mercury kept dropping under the influence of
the strong gale from the northwest, and at
sunrise yesterday the thermometer indicated
from 26o to 800, according to locality. At a.
m it was just 800, and at noon but 45o in the
sun, the wind still continuing. Heavy over
coats and furs were in demand In the coun-
try districts it froze the wet places in the woods
hard enough to bear horse and wagon, and a
man brought into the city an icicle a foot and
half long, and half an inch in diameter

berland Club was frozen hard. The crops in

ter was affected by cold weather.

An Augusta despatch to the Boston Herald
of yesterday, says:
Secretary OF State Blaine, who arrived home
from the obsequies of President Garfield at
Cleveland last week, leaves this morning for
Washington. He appears in excellent health,
and with his magnificent power of recupera-
ton, is fast recovering from the terrible ten
sion of the summer. Those papers which
have persistently represented Blaine as losing
his physical vigor and becoming prematurely
aged, are guilty of wilful and malicious decep-
ton. Mr. Blaine is now 81 years cid, and in
the full prime of robust manhood He will be
a power in American politics for many years
vet. I am assured from sources which are
almost ex catbedra that the Secretary of State
with the other cabinet officers, rendered his
portfolio in writing.
Secretary Blaine has been in correspondence
with large publishing house in Hartford,
which is urging him to write a life of President
Garfield task for which he is eminently
qualified. With the generosity which belongs
to his chivalrous nature, Mr.. Blaine first decid-
ed to write such book, donating the profits OF
authorship to Miss Mollie Garfield. The
Hartford firm could allow him but six months
for the task, which he did not consider ade-
quate Garfield's life is so closely identified
with contemporaneous American history that
the labor Of preparing such biography as
Mr. Blaine would wish to write, is too arduous
to be compressed into such a limited period.
The book would be valuable addition to our
literature, and il is hoped that the Secretary
will reverse his decision
No credence is to be placed in the reports in
the Boston Globe and Portland Argus, that
Mr.. Blaine is to be the Republican candidate
for Governor next year. Nothing could De
further from his plans.

Maine Baptist Cor vention.

Baptist Convention shows that the permanent
fund Of the convention is $4,000. The total
receipts for the past year are $6,25S, and the
expenditures in aid of small and weak churches

Sc, 900 have come from Mr.. and Mrs Reuben
Crane of Fayette, lately deceased. Cumber-
land Association is the largest contributor to
the convention.
The report on the state Of religion by Rev.
f. D. Blake says that the year has been one Of
religious dearth. No association has been
blessed with anything like revival, and hard
ly a church in the State, with the exception of
one or two in Hancock county, has been es-
pecially blessed. Few churches report gains,
but very many report losses. There will prob
ably be net loss to the denomination in the
State The whole number of baptisms is 234,
against 552 last year. This is not large har-
vest for the more than 10000 Baptists of this
State Five ministers have left the State and
three have entered
