SoIL1NG STtCK.--A writer says that
his own experience Of fifty years has
taugh him that the regular soiling of
cattle Is best for the farmer and for
his fields. bringing in greater profit
and maintaining the fertility Of the
land at higher pOint-th&t twice rs
much fodder can be produced OH Il
given surface when the forage plant is
allowed to grow as a cultivated crop,
and reach certain degree Of maturity
than when, as in pasture, It Is cOntin-
ually cropped off and trodden down.
He believes, as do all the best German
writer's OIL the subject, that the most
successful system Of agriculture in the
long run Is that In which large guam
tity of stock Is kept and fed we'll, and
Il careful rotation of crops is followed,
in which the same crop Is never put
twice In succession on the same land.
The soiling system makes 1t easier to
carry ouC the second part of this pro-
gramme, and the greater variety OF
crops that cnn be raised Oh long rota-
ton provides 4 greater variety OF lOu-
der Tor The stock, SO that these two
features of the best modern agrlCultu-
raj practice, work admirably together.
The soiling system provides more
uniform ration in respect to quantity,
and avoids much loss Of manure. 1T
may be pretty safely affirmed that the
droppinEs OF cattle in the pastures arc
more than half washed by drying in
the sun, or by too strong dosing with
manure In isolated spots here ana there.
Where land is cheap and abundant,
and cannot be protitably cultivated ana
carried up TO a high degree of fertility
pasturage over Il large portion OF the
farm may be allowed, but when high
EARNING pays, pasture land is Il poor
investment, and may eat up large
part OF the profits from The cultivated
fields.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS.

Disorderlies were the only occupants Of
the station house cells this morning.
A very heavy rain fell in this section yes
terday afternoon, to the delight of every
one. w
Arrangements have been made to open
the Alexandria and Fairfax agricultural
fair on the 9th inst.
Never before In the history of Alexandria
has such rare inducements been offered for
investment as at the present time. There
is improved city property which is being
offered at less than the cost of the improve
ments, and thousand dollars invested
to-day will be worth two next year. as
Northern capitalists are now making large
purchases and establishing manufactures Of
different kinds Mt this point, and the old
town bids fair to become large manu-
featuring city.
Mr.. Geo. S. Stewart yesterday brought to
this city some very fine samples of kaolin
from a vein recently discovered near Pitts
vile, Pittsylvania County, this State He
says that a company will be ,arganized, and
will commence at once to convert the kaolin
into proclaim ware. He says they have
also discovered in this county large de-
posts of magnetic iron ore, the largest yet
| found in the State.

The Law Against Placing Refuse
In the streets TO be Enforced.

The Commissioners directed letter to
Major Brock to-day, calling his attention to
what they term tho almost total disregard
of the law forbidding the placing of refuse
substances of any kind whatever
in the streets. avenues, cutters. and high
ways of the city. The cause of the letter is
that many of the sewers were choked by
refuse during yesterdays flood. The letter
goes on to say:
"You are hereby directed at oncc to take
the most positive and energetic steps to
prevent such infraction of the law, and to
cause the arrest of any person or persons
who may be found violating the same"
You will especially direct the lieutenants
of each precinct that the officer on the beat
must report the sanitary condition Of his
beat daily, and that the sergeant must in
spect each officers beat and report its con-
dition.
"When beat is found in an uncleanly
or unsanitary condition, the officer will be
reported for gross neglect of duty, and made
to answer before the trial-board on such
charge unless he can give satisfactory
reason for the same. The Commissioners
cannot let this occasion pass without
impressing on the minds of all concerned
that the health of the District is of para
mount Importance, and that all possible
vigilance on the part of all its officers should
be increasingly exercised to further the
same and the public comfort"

Paper and Postage wasted.

Guiteau's mail bobbed up serenely this
morning, being about twice rs large as
usual. Sunday being day of rest, the cor
responding cranks had leisure to spread
themselves more extensively than week
days. The first card received was of a local
nature. 1t reads; ua
&C. GUITEAU: If you will take your
perforate the fiend who keeps the south
gates locked, the perspiring public who are
forced to walk around may consider you
public benefactor p. p"
A poet from Pork0polis addresses some
rhymes to Charles Guiteau (DeviD:"
Charles Quito, what nice show
You would make II we should take
A thirty.inch gun and have some fun
BY putting you down heel and crown;
And then appall some old stone-wall
By letting you slide against its side.

Sooner later you'll find a crater

Chicago also furnishes poet. This time
it is sweet-singer of the feminine gender
who thus versifes:

State of Arkansas or Deadwood and return,
you can return if you can catch the return

|eH Words of Praise.
Philadelphia is the first city to speak in
glowing terms to Guiteau. This may arise
from the fact that it is the City of Brotherly
Love, or because it is stand-off between
the average Philadelphia and the assassin
The following, written in clean, shapely
hand, was received to-day, addressed To
Hon. Charles Guiteau:
Brave, noble man, of heroic birth,
That risks life, liberty and worldly pleas

The Charges of Defrauding the Dis.
trict. wv

To-day, in the Criminal Court, in the
eleven indictments found against William
Troxall, formerly messenger in the office
of the Bureau of Special Assessments, of
the District Government, a nolle pros. was
entered in each of the cases. The charges
made were forgery and conspiracy to de-
fraud the District Government 1t will be
recollected that big scandal was raised by
the obvious loose keeping Of accounts and
the POPULATION arising therefrom in Mr..
Bealls department of the District building,
and he was only saved from official decap-
itation because it was evident to Con-
gressional committee of examination that
he had been victimized by his subordinates.
Mr.. Charles Pelham to-day came into
court and demanded nolle pros. in
the cases against Troxall, who was
supposed to be tho principal Of
fender. Assistant District Attorney Perry
said that as they had not been able
to reach the men he was after (this matter
occurred under the administration of Dis.
rict-Attorney Wells), and as he considered
that Troxall and others who had been in
dicted were mere subordinates to other men
who used them as tools, he would consent
to nole proscqui in each case. The indict.
ments of Clarke and Quinn in the same re-
lation still hold.

VILLAGE OF wYALUsING.
DESCRIPTION I'll 10 Whom. Ass'a :


There is a discussion among some
Iowa papers whether or not Liverpool
fixes the price of American grain. Ger
tainly Liverpool fixes the price OF what
American grain it buys. SO does Glas-
gov. There may be no relation at All
between the price of wheat in CHICAGO
and New York and the price at Liver.
pool. Then, again. the market NAV be
such that there will be great intimacy
between the price of wheat in the Amer
lean and English market. Liverpool
fixes the price of American wheat in
this general sense that the price OF com
modities between all countries that have
an interchangeable trade tend to an
equilibrium. And, as Liverpool is the
great market exchange of Christendom.
the equilibrium In prices finds its usual
mercantile expression there. But the
price is made not by Liverpool, but by
the whole area of supply and demand.
If Liverpool miscalculates and fixes a
wrong price for itself, New York and
Chicago would not be governed by it.
but would fix what would seem to them
right price. That will control price
as to all that go to New York or Chicago
market. And it may be above or below
the Liverpool price. But it is true that
sooner or later, although New York and
Chicago may fix the price of grain above
or below the Liverpool price, the price
in all three places viii gravitate to q
uniformity. Not, we repeat, because
Liverpool makes the price for New York
anG Chicago, but because it indicates
that equilibrium between supply and
demand which fixes price in Liverpool,
New York, Chicago and everywhere

Cotton, Corn and Tobacco.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept Is. (
The cotton reports of Sept. ! show
very heavy decline in the condition since the
last report, owing to the protracted drought
which prevailed in all sections of the cotton
belt. The condition as reported is 70, a de-
crease of Is per cent. during August and, as
compared with the returns of the same date
last year, 10 per cent. less. The number of
counties and the State averages are as iol-
lows
North Carolina, two counties, average 70.
south Carolina, twenty-five counties, aver
age 6S.
Georgia, fifty-five counties, average II.
Florida, fourteen counties average 81,
Alabama, thlrty-three counties average 80
Mississippi, thirty-seven counties, average
"a.
Louisiana, fifteen counties, average 76.
texas, sixty counties, average SIS.
Arkansas, thirty-one counties average 55.
tennessee, twenty-one counties, average g.
The general average condition OF corn Sept
was 6O, being II per cent lower than the
men previous, and 81 per cent. lower than
last year at the same date. From Missouri and
Kansas come serious complaints of rayages hv
the chinch bug, which were added to by the
Prevailing drought. The injury to the corn
prospect is shown by State averages, which are
5S, AZ and 55 respectively.
tobacco returns give very serious decline
IN the prospect for the crop, being some 90 per
cent. less than month since. With the excep-
ton OF the States north Of the Delaware river.
and Wisconsin in the West. the universal com
plant Is drought. Kentucky and Illinois each
report but little over half crop, while Ten
nessee and Missouri report less than two
thirds. The average for the whole country is
only 90, against IS last month, and 81 for the
same date last year
The cause of the low condition existing in
almost every section of the country is drought.
New f;agland has been less affected by it than
any other section east of the NTississ mi and
reports an average OF 30. In Wisconsin, MIN
nesota and most Territories it has been more
seasonabe weather, and the condition of the
crops Is correspondingly better; but in all other
sections the reports show the effects Of an un
usually dry season

the United States railways have adopted
for paying dividends lie objected to as
entirely foreign to all cash methods for

of original shares are compensated in a
much less commonplace manner. When
