WE notice that many loads of the
Pocomoke Phosphate are being deliv-
cred at the warehouse of Messrs.
johnson x Hastings to farmers in the
neighborhood of this place. Many of
the grain growers with whom we have
convcrsed say they prefer the " POGO
moke" to any other fertilizer and
some even go SO far as TO say they
prefer it to Peruvian guano. Certain
it is that excellent crops are obtained
by its use.

IN A RUSSIAN PRISON.

In the cells of the upper and mid
die tiers are put the least comprom-
ised criminals. All the cells are of
the same size-ten feet long. seven
feet broad and twelve feet high.
The doors have each two openings
one large enough for the daily food
and drink to be put in through it,
and the other of smaller size, to serve
as a spy-hole for the jailcrs. The
doors are also fastened with two
padloc!1s the key of one being in
the iailer's custody. while that of the
other remains in charge of the com
mandant of the fortress. The dish
from which the prisoner eats is
pushed in through grooves out in a
plate of iron, which projects from
the interior of the door, at Il height
OF about four feet from the floor.
The dish cannot, therefore. be re-
moved by the prisoner, who must
take his food standing against the
door. and this with a spoon attached
to the plate The drinking water is
put into SOFT of jug, hinged to the
door When the prisoner wishes to
drink he must get down on his knees
and turn this vessel upon its hinges
OF pivots. Food is supplied at eleven
o'clock in the morning and six in the
evening, and ordinarily consists of
oatmeal Cruel and a quarter of
kilogram of meat. Besides this there
there is q daily allowance of kilo-
gram of rye bread.
The prisoners bed consists of
plank, six feet by three, with straw
mattress, a sheet so strong and
coarse that it is impossible to tear it,
and covering of felt-all of which
articles are taken away during the
day The dress consists of a gray
woollen jacket quite short and tight
fitting; short pantaloons of the same
color, and long felt boots. For
women the jacket is supplied. and a
gray skirt added. The prisoners must
get up at six o'clock and go to bed
again at eight. 1t has been as
certaincd by means Of the secret OBJ
servations which are constantly taken
through the peep-holes, that as a
general rule the prisoners spend their
long hours from their rising until
their breakfast in pacing to and fro
in their cells; after this they are
wont to remain quiet for an hour or
SO, only to give way next to excess of
desolate despair which their pitiable
situation may we'll inspire.

times an ounce Of prevention is worse
than pound of disease. One day
last week the children came running
in, shrieking that a big hawk was
circling over the poultry yard. Old
Farmer Thistlepod dropped his pa
per, caught his trrlsty gun from the
rack, and charged for the poultry
yard. He ran right over a bee stand
just the other side of the cypress
bush, and was stung in thirty
places before he jumped over the
fence of the poultry yard, alighting
upon the old black hen that was
brooding thirteen chicks. breaking
her neck, and MASKING five hapless
weetles;" the gun caught in the
fence as he jumped, and went off,
killing young turkey. and filling
the Durham heifer in the meadow
nearly full of buckshot: while the
hawk, alone calm and self-possessed
in the midst of the tumult and con,
fusion, sailed gracefully away
with the one spring chicken he had
all along intended to levy on

BRIGHTON.

Brighton is little London by the
sea; Kings Road and Undercliff are
its Regent street and Bond street.
There can hardly be anything finer
than this series of buildings, terrace
upon terrace, stretching away right
and left as far as the eye can reach.
only broken by a couple of piers
that go out to meet the sea as it
comes rolling along. green and blue
and salty, health upon its bosom,
beauty in its everchanging colors.
At night long rows of lamps mark
the coast line, and variegated illu
citations dot the new pier, where
strains of orchestral music rise and
fall to the accompaniment of 1.-The
ever-sounding waves" The splendid
city covers a vast area. 1t has a pop
ulation of hundred thousand peO
pie. It is a congregation of palaces,
lodging houses, hotels, stores, baths
and handsome private dwellings. 1t
has several seasons during the year.
Cheap excursionists swarm over it in
summer; as the autumn comes on
the rich Jews of London settle down
there in great numbers; from Octo-
Der to February the aristocracy make
it their own. In the interim there
are special train services every day,
and also from Fridays to Mondays;
so that Brighton is always more or
less gay with holiday life. The city
has high reputation for its healthy
climate and its invigorating sea-
breezes. Thackeray, in The New-
comes, called it "Merry Doctor
Brighton" and sporting novels are
full of references to the hunting
which is famous in the ncighborhood.
Well known packs of barriers and
fox hounds meet almost daily during
the winter months at points within
easy reach of Brighton. The young
gentlemen of England can hunt and
tiirt to their hearts content from the
opening of cub hunting until the last
fox has been killed; for there are
balls, routs, concerts. receptions, all
the time. Brighton is a gay place
for the poor scions Of noble houses
on the look out for heiresses: a choice
hunting ground for penniless adj
venturers on the watch for rich wi
dows; modern D'Orsays and Beau
mill. There is great profit in this
business. These gentlemen have
made 100000, starting with $500
five years ago; but they are hard
working men, practical mechanics,
and understand their business thor
oughly. The profit in exporting is
