Fritche's left breast, and lodged in the

oppression Of Ireland nor do we in any
way favor a continuance of the present un-
just system of landlordism in Ireland. On
the contrary, we arc ready to cooperate
with the bishops of Ireland in any legiti-
mate effort to ameliorate the present un-
happy condition of the Irish people. What
we condemn in the Irish World are the
il!egitimate means it advocates, not its
efforts to better the condition of Ireland.
Let the cause of Ireland he pressed, but
let the means be legitimate. Let the rights
of the landlord be recognized as we'll as
the rights of the tenant, so that while JUS
ticc is done the tenant, justice may also be
done the landlord. Thus the cause Of
Ireland will commend itself to the honesty
and sympathy of the world.''
ANOTHER ex-treasury clerk helps to ex-
pose Sherman's crooked ways with his
Office, in his zeal to gain the presidential
nomination in 1880. It seems that he sent
one named Emerson to work up his cause
in Arkansas, and gave him leave of ab-
sence while he neglected his official busi-
ness. Sherman gave him check for 500
with the advice TO husband his resources.
Railroad fares there and return were $94,
leaving Emerson Sc with which to work
up the convention and pay his own ex-
pensss. He stayed there two months, fire.
quently writing to Sherman of his plans
and their probable cost, and receiving in
reply authority to go ahead. These plans
included treasury appointments which
were subsequently made. Emerson had
himself elected a delegate to Chicago, but
the convention instructed for Grant, and
he was bound by instructions. Upon his
return Emerson presented a bill for ex
penses. He says Sherman tried to evade
payment until confronted by his own writ
ten authority for incurring expenses,
whereupon he gave Emerson 1926. Shortly
afterwards he discharged Emerson from
the treasury for prolonged absence from
his desk. A letter from Powell Clayton is
subjoined to Emerson's card in which that
statesman warns Emerson in effect that
Sherman is "bad lot," and tho cal d
closes with extracts from Arkansas paper
while Emerson was in that state, showing
that he did good worl1. for Sherman.

THERE is at least one lunatic who is
neither in the asylum nor in Congre s.

IT is we'll that the preachers know what
is the matter with them. President Rob-
inson, of Brown university, who is deliver
ing the course Of Yale lectures on preach
ing, states that the proportion of people
who attend church is diminishing. Among
the reasons are skepticism, cheap litera-
ture, the Sunday school and the practice
of preaching old sermons. He also men,
tions the willingness oftoo many churches
to exist on supplies of strange clergymen
from Sunday to Sunday, instead of secur-
ing the services Of regular pastor. To
these he adds the uneasiness Of the pre-
sent generation, and the lack of desire of
hearing the steady preaching Of an old
fashioned gospel. Rev. DR.. George H.
Hepworth, in an article in the Independent
on the besetting sins of the ministry,
places among them the tendency of the
preacher to magnify his office and the
officer ; the fact that it is always dificu It
to oppose the wishes or the prejudices of
certain influential parishiorers who labor
under tho hallucination that their money
gives them the right of constant interfer.
ference the tendency to say and do
things which are freighted with a solemn
meaning in such a perfunctory way that
their significance is lost and finally a
certain insincerity in preaching what the
preacher does not himself believe to be
strictly true.

AMONG the cheap passengers by the

Sow Grass.

1t is qualification to IFS to understand
that SO much small grain has been sown
in this State, but we trust that still
greater breadth will be put in during the
Spring. We should not overlook the
necessaries of life. There is more money
in grain than in cotton. And full crop
of corn should be raised-and grasses
All that we make goes out of the State
for horses; mules, hay, provender, wheat
and meat. This is ruinous. 1t is alike
hurtful to the individual and to the State
at large. Some of the grasses fit for hay
will grow in every section OF the State,
and it is burning shame that prairie
wire grass, brought here from across the
Mississippi River, should find a market
with US at $1.5O per hundred. There is
no excuse for such folly. Let us now, at
the opening of the year, seek TO diversity
our agricultural interests, raise stock, rear
colts and live at home Instead of hav-
ing our barns in the Northwest and our
stock yards in Tennessee and Kentucky,
have colt or two in the pasture and a
plenty of corn and wheat on hand. The
people in the extreme West are making
money rapidly on their tobacco, and in
the extreme East on their rice. Five
years ago neither was grown to any ex-
tent They are new industries. Are we
in the centre to be stationary? Shall we
not be quick to improve like our friends
in the west and in the east?

Rotation OF Crops.

In well planned system of farming,
the subject Of crop rotations should be
carefully considered, as one of the essen
tial elements of success in its highest and
best sense. 1t seems to be the prevailing
opinion that the alienation of crops, in
systematic order, is modern invention
that was gradually developed as direct
result of the applications of science TO the
art of agriculture. The early writer's or
agriculture, even from the times of the
Greeks and Romans, have, however,
quite uniformly urged the teachings of
experience. They were satisfied that a
variety of crops grown in succession, all
other conditions being equal, would give
a greater aggregate yield than could
otherwise be obtained. The reasons for
the success of the system could not, it is
true, be given, but practical men were
fully agreed in urging its Importance,
and many systems of rotation, more or
less perfect, were planned, some of which
became the prevailing rule OF farm prac-
tice in particular localities. That these
practical rules of alternating crops of diff
ferent habits and modes of growth are

The value of the molasses is $1,754, ,74s.
Seven years ago it was but $35O,33s.
Why cannot North Carolina devote more
acreage to this remuneratlve industry? If
it pays in Kansas why may it not pay in
North Carolina? An exchange says:
s'The farmers and stockmen learn from ex-
perience that sorghum is better than rice
corn for stock-feeding purposes. Cattle
and sheep will eat the seed, blades and
stalks of sorghum cane, while only the
seed of the rice corn is eaten. Nearly all
the sheep of Southern Kansas are being
fed on sorghum cane this winter. 1t is

From the Democrat Re published by Request.l
Clover and Acid Phosphate.

Mr.. Editor. 1t is not proposed to say
anything about its value, that is conceded
by all parties, the great remaining ques-
tion is how to procure stand and proper
growth.
From two years. experience l should
state as very decided opinion that the
acid phosphate comes nearer ensuring a
stand of clover than any other manure;
why l state it as an opinion my experience
is not sufficiently varied and extensive to
state it as fact.
In 1873 used bag to the acre, and
the stand was generally good; the clover
was sewed in March, six quarts to the
acre, the crop was increased between 80
and 40 per cent
one place; three acres were phosphat ed;
most of the stand was very good. There
were some eighteen acres of the balance
where no phosphate was used, and did
not save one-ffth of an acre.
fused acid phosphate on various small
sections with a comparative uniformity of
result. The clover sowed in November
where no phosphate was used, begins to
loose its color-it was top-dressed with
the acid phosphate.
Observation goes to show that clover
dies from want of saitable supplies or pro-
visions to nourish the same. I know of
two lots where there was considerable
failure of stand, but in that part of each
lot which contained portions of an old
road the stand was very good along the
old road, including its meanderings.
The growth of clover has been so preca-
rious that all facts bearing on the same
ought to be reported.
