Testing the Quality of the Soil.

Boil a small quantity of earth or
any soil and dip piece of litmus pa.
per in it. Ii it turns red, an acid
exists, showing that lime is deficient,
and the latter is mostly needed, Pour
a portion of hydrochloric acid on some
soil +; if it effervesces, it indicates the
presence of lime and contains a marty
matter. Lime is valuable for sour
soils. Turnips, cabbage, grapes, beets
and mangel wurzel need potash, I've
or ashes. Lime improves clover, peas,
beans and tobacco. Silica, or sand,
agrees with melons, sweet potatoes,
wheat, barley, oats and rye. Bone-
dust is worth thirty times as much as
manure. Gypsum, or sulphate of
lime, has the power of attracting or
liking the volatile substances in the
earth. Sewer water is valuable
fertilizer. Rain brings down the nitric
acid and other gases from the air.
Decomposed barnyard manure has
large quantity Of ammonia. Straw.
berries will produce double the quan>
tlty with solution of ammonia and
nitre. -Four ounces of each may be
dissolved in sixty gallons of ram wa
ter; then sprinkle them twice week
IN the evening while in bloom until
they begin to ripen, Pulverized char.
coal will preserve meat and sweet po-
tatoes for an indefinite period.

The two committees of the Demo
cracy of the county met in Trenton
last Monday and agreed to issue a
joint call for County Convention,

almost unanimous in their agreement

prevailed There is every prospect
OF harmonious action by the rank and
hle, and the usual heavy democratic
majority in the county is predicted.
Resolved, BY the two Executive
Committees of the Democratic party
OF Gibson county, That our respect,
I've Chairmen, to>wit: r. z. TAYLOR
aud ID. Z. Burnett, are instructed to
call joint convention of the Demo>
cratic party to be held in Trenton on
the LIST Monday in June, 1882, at [
p. M, to select delegates to attend the
convention to be held in Nashville the
10th of June, 1882, to nominate a
candidate for Governor, and to trans.
act such other business as may come
before said convention.
Resolved, That the Chairmen of
the two branches of the Democratic
party of Gibson county shall designate
two men in each civil district, one
from each party, who shall be author.
ized to call district conventions the
4th Saturday in May, at 3 p. m, to
be held at their respective voting
places, to select delegates to attend
the County Conventions; said delegates
from each district to be fully instructed
as to the amount to be paid on a
compromise OF the State debt. the
terms, DC, OF any settlement to be
made, and as 10 their preference, if
any they have, of candidate for
Governor, ETC., and shall instruct said
delegates upon such other matters as
they may deem necessary; and should

any of the said designated persons
refuse or fail to call district conven>
ton as above, then the Democratic
voters of said district shall have the
right to assemble at their respective
precincts and select delegates; and
any district which fails to hold its
district meeting shall not be repre-
sented by any one in the County
Convention.
Resolved, That the Chairmen shall

FisA john Porter

There is something almost pathetic in the
history Of the struggle of this old soldier
against the fate which has pursued him for
twenty years. At the beginning of the
civil war there were few who could have
reasonably anticipated a brighter career
than seemed to open to him. But before
the Federal arms had achieved their srst de-
clsivc trumphs, and about the time saga
cious men began 10 see the rift in the cloud,
when the military training which he had
received justified him in the hope that he
could serve his country to IS great advan.
,age and his own honor, the bolt was
launched which destroyed his life. The
circumstances of his dismissal from the
army, and the dishonor which was put
upon his name are too familiar to the
american people to require rehearsal
There is scarcely man who attended
closely to the circumstances Snd testimony
which have been produced and reproduced
IN tins case who does not believe he was a
victim OF the ianaticiSm and passion of the
hour, and that he was made the sCapegoat
upon whom errors, miSiortunes 'and incom-
potency of Others were laid. Great as the
load is which would he lifted from his
shoulders by the rendition at this day of
The tardy justice which he has sought
through all these years, it sounds almost
like mockcry that the very highest mill
tary authority now acquits him OF the fault
and crime for which he has suffered. The
telegraph tells us that General Grant, who
is certainly high authority on this point
and must be regarded, in view of
the late day at which lie gives
the opinion as an unwilling wit
ness, having recently made an examina-
ton of the testimony and the record of the
court of inquiry, has become convinced
that General Porter was really guiltless and
blameess as asOldier in Pope's campaign Of
1867 II is strange that this examination
and opinion were so long delayed There
was a long time during which this act of
justice would have restored General Porter
to so much Of his rights as fate permits it
may tend greatly to this end yet Every
nst and generous person will rejoice at the
lifting OF the cloud from a life so long OBJ

tnl examination as to responsibility of
sGreties upon bonds accompanying bids

c9onGluSively there has been imposed upon
the Po9t-OniCe Department not less than
thirteen thousand bonds. sureties
upon which have with perhaps five eXcep-
tons been utterly worthless and were
known to parties who presented them to be
worthless. There is reason to believe thar

the Postmaster-General would have no au-
thority to reject such bids if regular in
form, while it is impossible to properly in
yeStlgate the responsibility of sureties be-
fore the time when contracts must bn
awarded. Under these circumstances, it
seems to me proper that the
attention of Congress should be
called TO this condition Of the law
and change be made by which some
power may he vested in the department to
debar from bidding persons who have hith-
erto been engaged in such practices AS. in
