of the troubles between them and their
late employers. They fortify themselves
with their own afidavits that there was no
truth whatever in the declarations Of the
MANAGEMENT upon which their dismissal
was justified) that "perscns having no
connection with the Press, in coilusion
with some persons employed in the CON-
posing room, were preparing to make, at
an early day and without notice, unjusti-
fable demands, which, unless instantly
complied with, would be followed by ac.
tion that might embarrass the prompt
publication of the paper" They show,
by previous notices sent them from friends
in New York, that the rafting" of the
Press office was in accordance with pre-
arrangement which Editor Smith denied
when brought to his notice. The excluded
printers Indignantly appeal to the public
to condemn this outrage Oh American
workmcn. The public waits to hear from
the Press management, through the paper
it prints.
AN enterprising correspondent, not
given to sensationalism, has discovered
just how the break between Arthur and
Blaine will como. 1t seems that the pres.
ident is not in accord with Secretary
Blaine, "touching the meddlesome con-
duct of Minister Hurlbut in the Chilli
Peruvian troubles, and that, by conse-
quencc, the latter ere long will he super
seded By some man of less impulsive tenn
permanent, and not so prone to do violence
to our traditions of ncn-intervcntion.
Now, Mr. Hurlbut is known to be the
particular personal and political friend of
the secretary Of state. and as it must be
taken for granted that his recent diplo-
matte gymnastics are pursuant to instruc-
tions from Washington, his supersedure
at this time, Or as soon as Congress meets,
will be all event the PECULIAR significance
of which so far as Mr.. Blaine's official
relations to the White House are con-
cerned will not escape attention. The
first effect, it is believed, will be to
hasten the secretary's retirement from the
cabinet, and to inspire him with public
address or two, deprecating the indiffer-
ence of the administration to the fine
opportunity which Mr. Hurlbut had open
Ell up for establishing American influence
in South America. -

Salt for the Throat.

In these days when diseases OF
tie throat are so universally prev~
alent, and in so many cases fatal,
we feel it our duty to say word
in behalf of most efecual, if not
positive. cure for sore throat.
For many years past, indeed, we
may say during the Whole ola life
Of more than forty years, we have
been subject to sore throat, and
more particularly TO dry hacking
cough, which is not only distress
ing to ourselves, but to our friends
and those with whom we are
brought into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there in common salt.
We commenced by using it thrre
times a day---morning, noon and
night. We dissolved large table
spoonful Of pure fable salt in about
a half small tumbler full of water.
With this We garglo the throat
most thoroughly just before meal
time. The result has been that
during the entire winter We were
not only free from coughs and
colds, but the dry hacking cough
has entirely disappeared.
We attribute these satisfactory
results solely to the use Of salt
gargle, and most cordially recon-
mend a trial of it to those who are
Subject to diseases of the throat.
Many persons who have never
tried the salt garg'e have the I'M
preston that it is unpleasant. Such
is not the case. On the contrary,
it is pleasant, aud after a few days
use no person who loves nice
clean mouth and a frst-rate sharp
sner Of the appetite will abandon
if.

Retatlen Of Crops.

A Correspondent asks US to ex-
plain the philosophy Of the rotation
Of crops. We comply, but do so
briefly, both because our-spsce is
small, and further, even iull ex-
planation does not demand many
words. Sons nine substances make
up the ash Of all plants. These
are potash, SODA, lime, msgnesia,
oxido iron, OXIDE maganese some
times, silica, chlorine, sulphu'ic
and phosphofic acids. Plants OBJ
tain these substances exclusively
from the soil. But while all plants
ia. G up theae substances from the
soil, different plants take them up
in very different proportions For
instance, all the cereals, as wheat;
rye, oats, take AZ. as much phos-
phoric acid as all the other eight or
nine substances pat together; while
potatoes, turnips, e.. demand
potash and S da largely but little
phosphoric acid. The chief demand
Of the grasses is for lime; Of tobacco
for potash and lime. Now, the in
die ,tion is that those crops should
succeed each o.hor, which make
demands upon soil as unlike as
possible. " heat succeeds tobacco
well, and the grasses come well
after wheat. Tobacco takes up
chiefly lime and potash, and but
little phosphoric acid which is the
special demand Of wheat Wheat
removes but little lime, which is
thespecial demand Of the grasses
The worst possible rotation, which
one may frequently see. hO"ever'in
Virginia, is wheat, corn, eats. Here
the demand all the time is for phOs-
pboric acid, and the strongest soils
give way under this drastic pro-
cess, Tobacco, wheat. clover and
a year OF rest is and excellent TO
tatiOn. Daring tie three years
succeeding wheat, SO small is the
amount OF phosphoric acid taken
from the soil that it is sspplie d,
perhaps more than supplied, by the
constant disintegrstion Of mineral
masses in the soil, and of the un-
DERIVING rock. A similar e1planA
ten is obviously applicable to other
constituents. Bya judicious sys-
tenn Of rotation, and little rest and
help, the soil not only holds its
own, but improves as the years
roll by.

Meat can be prevented from
