ORIGIN OF FULTz WHEAT.-Mr. A
Monk, of Osborn, OHIO sends us the fol-
lowing letter from Abram FultZ, of Aliens
VILE Pa the originator or discoverer of
the Fulz wheat. This was written in the
fall ot 1879, in reply to inquiries regarding
the history of the wheat:
In regard to that wheat it is now nine
Teen years since | first discovered il.
found it in one of Christian Yoder wheat
fields, where was harvesting. In low
place where the wheat WAS lodged | saw
three stalks standing upright. and because
they stood up straight is the reason why |
noticed them. With my pocket knife
cut of the tops OF those three stalks and
stuck them on my hat; when MIR. YOder
came around | showed them to him and
asked whether might have them he said
| should take them, | told him that | in
tended to raise n new kind of wheat from
hose heads. I took them home and put
them away until seed time, and then
Sowed the wheat from these heads on n
spot of ground where had burned brush
heap. rhe next year this yielded nearly
n pint of clean wheat. | sowed this agar
and the next season had nearly peck oil
clean wheat; this time | attempted to drill
it in, but the drill did not SOW it thicl
enough, and by the next harvest saw tina
tins was mixed with other wheat, and
was obliged to assert it, assorted only
part Of 1t, and kept that by itself. Tina
seed time had enough to have it drilled
in The next season had enough to hav
some OF this wheat ground into flour; tina
was before any person got of it for seed.
offered Mr. Yoder three bushels of it il
exchange for other wheat, but he refused
he offer. After other persons got of
and tried it, then Mr.. Yoder exchange
lhrce bushels with me. The foregoin
statement is as nearly correct as | ca

A farmer in Indiana gives the following
result of an experiment with bone dust and
wood ashes. He says: " | applied con lbs
Of dry, unleached ashes to the acre, and
>owed wheat on that, and the result was,
only six bushels to the acre. Adjoining
this tract drilled in 200 lbs of bone dust
and the three acres produced twenty bush

fourteen bushels to The acre, being nm in
creased yield of fourteen bushels over the
tract sown with wood ashes. The follow

The plat where had previously sown 900
lbs Of ashes, and The result was forty
bushels of wheat to the acre, beng
double what the bone produced alone
This experiment satisfied me that ashes
alone CT bone dust alone would not give

This acre with ashes Yielded six bushels,
the acre with bone dust yielded twenty
bushels, but when the two are combined |
harvested forty bushels. This shows what
experiments and small expenditure OF
money will do orthe progressive farmer.

Letters of sympathy from the Pope

directed our minister at st. James, to

of official and private expressions from

At ii a. m. Friday the rotunda was
closed to visitors and soon after Mrs.
Garfield and few friends. entered and
remained for few minutes. Prepara-
tions were then made for the funeral
services which took place at 3 o'clock.
None were admitted except by ticket,
and the hall was densely crowded by
the officers of the Government, the Su-
preme court, the diplomatic corps, the
senators and representatives and the
household of the late President. AS
President Arthur entered all arose and
when again seated the services were
opened with prayer by Rev. DR.. Ran
kin.
President Garheld's pastor, Rev. j.
ID. Powers, delivered feeling address
and Rev. j. G. Butler closed the SER
vices with prayer.
The body was then removed to the
hearse, the only floral decoration ac-
companying it being the wreath from
Queen Victoria. All the other floral
decorations were sent to Mentor by re-
quest of Mrs. Garfield. The funeral
procession proceeded to the depot and
the same train used in the trip from
Long Branch started with it's precious
freightage and its mOurnful passengers
on the journey to Cleveland at 5:16 pm.
where it arrived at LII p. m. Saturday.
Evidences of homage and symbols of
mourning were everywhere to be seen
during every stage Of the route. Bells
were tolled, minute guns were fired, flow
ers bestrewed the track and delegations,
cioic and military guarded the roadside
at every city, village and
hamlet. Arriving at Cleveland,
a funeral procession was promptly
formed and the body soon rested upon
the catafalque prepared for it in
pavilion in the centre of the park.
Probably never has so elaborate and
and profuse a collection of floral tokens
been seen as were about the pavilion
and the entrances to the park. Elegant
arches were over each gateway, and
the pavilion itself was mass of ex-
otics. Included in the collection was
two carloads of funeral pieces from the
Cincinnati Exposition.

posure in the army.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the

The house in Holborn, London,

he is believed to have written his
"Creation."
Professor Winchell, of Michigan

Mrs. John Brown has received a

James and Harry Garfield have a

Their rooms overlook park and a
beautiful landscape stretching away to
the Hoosac Mountains.
A wealthy Italian who died recently
in France has bequeathed to the town
of Eisleben the sum of $40, 900, as a tes-
timony of his personal veneration
for its greatest citizen, Martin Lu-

Joseph Hatton, the London news
paper man and novelist, was much
struck with the restlessness of the
Americans; "and yet" he observes,
"the men are never in too great hur-
ry to neglect any opportunity of being
polite to women"
Joaquin Miller has lost the money
he made in Wall street, and is so
much reduced in purse that his recent
ly welded wife is compelled to keep
boarders at Saratoga. This isn't quite
so romantic for the unfettered child of
nature as roaming among the Sierras
of his fancy, but he is more certain of
his grub.

him that "a man was all tied up out

The emigration reports show some
curious facts. 1t is rather surprising
that out of the half million
strangers that came to our shores
last year only 46 were lawyers. Clergy
meg are rather more numerous, and
during the year 269 arrived, seventy of
them from England and the same num-
ber from Ireland. OF musicians there
were 800, and, strange to say only AZ
of them came from Italy but whether
the bureau classed hand-organs under
the head of musical instruments is not
known. There were 21l teachers, SO
sculptors, reporters, 159 artists, 81
editors, % dentists, 80 architects, and
l chiropodist. From the large number
of bakers on the list it is presumed
that they must have heard of the mag
nifcent wheat fields of Dakota and
other places. and longed to lend hand
in turning the golden grain into bread.
There landed 1877 bakers during the
year, and of this number 734 came
from Germany. There were 1,138
butchers, 1,574 cabinet-makers, 2,033
masons, 2,134 tailors, 1,474 weavers,
5,998 miners, and l05,012 laborers.
M. Leon Ghotteau, the able French
commercial savan who recently visited
the large cities of the United States and
addressed the Boards of Trade has pub
lished communications to the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs and the
various Chambers of Commerce in
France demanding the repeal of the law
prohibiting the importation of Ameri-
can pork.
A congress of antiquarians is to be
held at Tiflis, i'm the Caucasus, in a few
weeks. This is under Russian auspices,
the Grand Duke Michael acting as Pre-
sident, and the subjects to be discussed
will include the history and antiquities
of the Caucasus region and of Assyria
and Babylonia. Recently Hormuza
Rassam, who has been at work i'm the
Tigro-Euphrates Valley for eighteen
months, has discovered fragments of
historical inscriptions of Nebuchadnez-
zar, and an inscribed record Of the
operations at Babylon of Alexander of
Macedon. These discoveries will come
before the Tifis congress.

BULWER'S LAST POEM.

There Is no death! The stars 90 down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright In heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There Is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
TO golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flower.
The granite rocks disorpanize
To Feed the hanging moss they bear;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There Is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
For coming OF the May.
There il no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then-we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird like voice, whose joyous notes
Made glad these scenes OF sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amidst the trees OF life.
And when he finds smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint or vice,
He hears 1t to that world of light
To dwell in paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With Joy we welcome them the same,
Except In sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all The boundless universe
Is life--.here are no dead.
