Up to this moment the whole COM

FERTILIZING EFFECTS OF DROUGHT.


Farmers who carefully observe things
connected with their business have not
failed TO notice that very dry summer
is generally followed by vigorous
growth Of crops the following year.
This fact was never more fully verified
than IN the wheat crop Of the present
year. The drought of last summer was
severe and Observation-Disclosures
the corn crop of several of the Western
States at least fifty per cent, aud al
most entirely cutting off The potato
crop. The drought was broken by a
heavy rain early in September, and the
fall was seasonable. Though much of
the wheat crop in this section was not
sowed until the first of October, yet il
came up promptly and grew with an
unusual vigor, which it maintained al
most unchecked until harvesting time.
The spring was too cold and wet 20
favor early complaining; but now
that tie "storm of the leaves" is past,
we expect to see vigorous growth Of
corn, corresponding TO that of the
wheat. Drought fertilizes by two pro-
cesses. II produces shrinkage, espec-
tally in heavy clayey soils, which causes
them 10 crack open and freely admit
the air. thus breaking down the larger
particles and reducing the earth to a
favorable state of iineness. The moist
ure evaporated from the surface is, TO
some extent, replaced with water raised

ING IN solution all the substances in the
soil capable of being dissolved in water.
But when evaporation takes place moth
inc but pure wafer goes off. This
leaves the potash, lime and soluble
phosphates in the surface soil, TO mani
fest their presence by The vigorous
growth of the succeeding crop. What
was lost by las years drought the dill

fertility. This is world OF compensa-
tioas. If we bat understand its checks

MEMORIAL MEDAL.
FOR the stubborn Third Termers
who Were Defeated at
Chicago.

ST LOUIS, January 28.-About two
months after the Chicago Convention
the idea of having a medal struck t
commemorate the steady voting Of The
"Grand Phalanx" originated with
Don Cameron. A consultation wa'
held between Roscoe Conkling
Chauncey l. Filley and others, and
finally an order was given to j. NJ.
Kershaw, of this city, to strike of ISL
bronze medals. The matter was TO be
kept a profound secret, and kersshaT
was enjoined to silence. He has been
working on the medals for several
months, and they are now completed,
and in a few days will be sent to
Chauncey Filley, at Washington, who
will superintend the distribution Of
them. The medals are of bronze, per-
fectly round, two and three.quarters
inches in diameter, three-sixteenths
of an inch thick and weigh nearly one
pound. On the center Of the face is
profile head of General Grant, un-
derneath and extending partially
around the head is wreath of laurel
and oak leaves. Around this is a
slightly raised circle, outside Of which
is a record of the Grant ballots, ar
ranged in a complete circle, the num-
Der of each ballot and vote cast being
set down in separate space. The
record begins at the exact center Of
the bottom when the medal is held in
proper position, and comprises the
thirty.six ballots, which wavered
from 3O2 to 3l3. Between the first
and thirty-sixth ballot, which meet at
the bottom of ring,a star is engraved.
After the seventeenth, which reaches
point Numerically opposite the
star, the numbers reverse, so that the
figures can all be read without turn
ing the medal around.
Outside the record and along the
rim a wreath of heur de Isis hand
somely worked, completing the face.
Inscribed in the center of the reverse
side are these words: "Commemora-
ton of the Thirty.six ballots Of the
Old Guard for Ulysses S. Grant for
President; Republican National Con-
vention, Chicago, June, 1880" All
the lines are straight, save the first
and last, which curve gracefully in
parallel with the edge. Under the
last, the name of the member of The
Old Guard" to whom the medal will
be sent, is inscribed. Surrounding the
lettering is a very simple, yet hand
some, border, completing the reverse
side. At the center Of the top is a
hole in which to place a ribbon. The
medal altogether is very handsome
bit of engraving. Grants profile shows
part of the coat collar and neck.
OF the $50 medals, one will be sent
to each Of the 3l3 delegates who voted
for Grant, and the balance to General
Grant and few Stalwart friends The
head of the medal will be engraved on
letter paper, and be sent along with
these souvenirs. The first design OF
the medal in brass was forwarded to
New York and submitted to General
Grant. his wife, Conkling and few
other ladies and gentlemen for appro-
baton.

The school superintendent OF East,
ern Pennsylvania lately held a meeting
at which they made these among other
recommendations: Let the superin-
tendent Of public instruction, with the
advice and consent Of some other State
authority, appoint six educational
commissioners, who shall hold their
Office for three years; two new ones
being appointed every year. Let these
commissioners, together with the prin.
cipal Of each normal school, constitute
board for the examination Of candi-
dates for graduation from that school,
and have power to grant full diplomas.
They could also examine at the same
time, or at a separate meeting, all can
didates for permanent certificates who
are recommended by country superin-
tendents. These commissioners should
have a salary Of about $4,000 each per
year, and under the direction OF the
Superintendent of Public INSTRUCTION
should also be required TO give instruc.
tion in the annual county teachers
institutes without charge TO the coun-
ty, except for expenses. Six commits
sioners in eleven weeks would supply
a week 5 instruction TO every county IN
the State; and something like uni.
form system Of progressive work could
be carried On throughout the common.
wealth. The cost to the State OF all
/ this institute and examination labor
would DO about $4,000.

ing from the Union depot to the Four
Courts on al pallet under a heavy
guard, and it soon leaked out that
Sergeant Boland had captured Frank
James. 1t was not long before evil
dence was offered to show that the
stranger who had been ruthlsssly
dragged from DR.. Nolan's house, near
Independence, was one John Geodin,
of Louisiana, who was suffer-
ing from an accidental wound
he received while hunting.
Nothing was too good for him from
that time forward, and the city spared
no pains to cure him up. He brought
suit for damages, and one day when the
case was called, City Counsellor Bell
announced, more by way of joke than
anything else, that now that the plain.
tiff had set in to raise fuss, the city
proposed to prove that the stranger
was a James boy, after all. He said it
in all seriousness, and strange enough
the case was laid over, andhext morn
ing a nUnsuit was taken.
A few days later some one in Kansas
City announced that Goodin was one
of the James brothers, sure enough,
and now comes Grisham with the same
story.
As a matter Of fact, however, Goodin
bore no resemblance to the man whose
description is given above. He was
of medium build, and very dark
brunette, his eyes, mustache and
whiskers being black. Still, all these
stories are interesting, inasmuch
as the James boys are yet in great
demand.

the Union Generate, which have been
inflated beyond all reason. twill be
found. before all Is done, that the
large issue Of silver certificate last
wear. and return from circulation
TO the financial centers since the new
wear began, have also had some unfa-
yorable effect. In some instances these
certificates have recently been offered
in this city on terms equivalent to a
slight discount, because holders have
on hand more of them than can be
disposed of in the ordinary way. There
has been slowly growing for some time
in financial circles an apprehension
that these certificates would cause the
government trouble, and the urgent
recommendation Of the President and
the Secretary of the Treasury that the
issue of them should be stopped has
not met even ordinary courtesy from
Congress. In fact, the prevailing
spirit in Congress, so far as it has been
expressed during this session, is not
such as to encourage the hope that any
financial dangers are to be aTerted by
wise action.
The country is sending TO the West
every month many millions in money,
to be used in building new railroads,
opening new mines, and completing
improvements in regions compare
lively unsettled. Most of the money
thus sent, because of the lack of
banking facilities, lodges in the peck
cts of those who receive it, and is
thus withdrawn from active use. A
much larger amount of the available
capital of the country is put into
holes in the ground, deep cuts, tun
nels and embellishments, ties, tracks
and depots, and cannot be recovered
at present if needed. Fl
All these circumstances work to-.
gether to make the financial situation
unsatisfactory. But the immediate
and greatest danger springs from the
speculation in products, by which
their free movement to foreign con-
sumers is checked. The immutable
laws of nature have not been repealed
or suspended, and these speculations
will be surely and speedily suppressed
if they go far enough to cause impor-
tant financial disturbance. But the
mills Of the gods" though they grind
exceeding fine, also grind slowly.
Not little mischief might result, to
merchants in legitimate business. TO
manufacturers and to workingmen,
as well as to spectators who deserve
no sympathy, if a serious outflow of
gold from this country should begin,
In the end it would do good, for it
would force prices back to the specie
level, and suppress a vast deal of
speculation. But a dose of effective
medicine does not always make the
patient feel batter at first. The i'm
mediate effects of an outflow of gold
would not be agreeable.
